When Sister-in-law Zhang heard the joy, she thanked her again and again, pulled Ruixue to the door, and chirped and talked for a long time, until the third girl came to her, and Ruixue brought her a big bowl of snow soup, and then sent their mother and daughter back.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Fengnian had breakfast, went out with pen and ink, paused slightly, and said in a low voice, "Please go with the lady of the Zhang family next door, and bring a letter back if you have something." After saying that, he hurried away.

Rui Xue's hand picking up the dishes and chopsticks stopped for a long time before she suddenly reacted, looking at the cyan figure that disappeared outside the wooden door, the corners of her mouth slowly hooked, did he care about himself?

With all the money stored at home, Rui Xue went next door to ask Sister-in-law Zhang to accompany her, Sister-in-law Zhang recognized Rui Xue's letter, she was very happy, explained a few words to Zhang Dahe and the child, and then changed into a dress and went to the dock with Rui Xue.

The two took advantage of the fact that Lao Wang and Chen Yan were not busy, and inquired about how to buy land, Lao Wang was very enthusiastic, entrusted the matter to Chen Yan, and personally took the two of them into the city to go through the formalities at the government office, Rui Xue refused several times, seeing that he still refused to stop, guessed that he should have something to ask for himself, so he accepted it with peace of mind.

Lao Wang is obviously the old official in the palace, and he is a little thin, and Jin Cao (a small official position, from the eighth grade, not into the stream) who is in charge of the land trade smiled and said a few words, lying that Rui Xue is his distant cousin, and Jin Cao ticked a sum on the account book, minus ten taels of silver, and sold at a price of ninety taels, and the cost of the upper grade was only symbolically charged one or two silver, and there was no additional fee for moistening hands.

Ruixue stepped forward to thank him, smiled and invited Jin Cao to sit in the small restaurant in his spare time, although the food was rough, but it was better than freshness, and he would definitely treat him well, Jin Cao responded happily, so the land fell smoothly under Qin Ruixue's name.

Rui Xue took the pen and inked her name to sign, and secretly rejoiced in her heart that although the status of women in this time and space is not high, fortunately, she can still have her own industry, so that she will not have to pretend to be a man in everything, otherwise in the future, if she reconciles with Zhao Fengnian, it will not be hard to make a wedding dress for others.

Lao Wang watched her write with pen and paper, not embarrassed at all, his eyes were even more colorful, and he really didn't look away, this woman not only played the abacus well, but also wrote so neatly, her son will follow her in the future, how can she learn some skills, and it is not in vain that he sold a big love today.

The three of them went out of the city, Ruixue thanked Lao Wang, and went back to Yunjia Village with Zhang's sister-in-law, Zhang Dahe stood at the door and looked, and greeted them from a distance, and heard his daughter-in-law say that the land had been bought, and immediately ran out to find people.

Rui Xue turned around and went back to her house, seeing Zhao Fengnian sitting at the table reading as usual, as if she hadn't thought about her at all, remembering Zhang Dahe's appearance just now, her heart was a little sour, and she didn't take the initiative to speak as before, she went to the East House to change her dress, and was about to go to the stove to cook.

However, when she turned her head, she suddenly looked at the book in Zhao Fengnian's hand, and the font on the cover was actually upside down, she was stunned, she was in a good mood, humming a song, and almost jumped out of the door.

Zhao Fengnian raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and couldn't guess why this woman didn't speak with a calm face for a while, and suddenly sang happily for a while, and wanted to go to the stove to ask how things were going today, and couldn't put down the shelf, so he simply went to the back garden to go around, those few rows of cabbage, which have grown crazy in the past few days, have already jumped to four inches high, and from a distance, they are green, especially mixed with the darker and darker grass and trees, and they are becoming more and more verdant and pleasant.

Rui Xue hurriedly ran over with a small bamboo basket, and saw Zhao Fengnian strolling in the vegetable field with his hands behind his back, the sun shrouded down from the top of his head, lining his originally slightly fair face, adding three points of brilliance, looking much healthier than before, and his handsome facial features became more and more charming, which made her stay slightly stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, quickly help me pull out a few vegetables, pick the two ones crowded together, and let's eat meatball soup and steamed rice for lunch." ”

After that, she lowered her head and looked for it in the vegetable patch at her feet, Zhao Fengnian subconsciously listened to her instructions and began to pull vegetables, and when she ran back to the stove with a smile, she looked at the soil in her hand and began to be stunned. This should be the first time since he was born that his hands have been touched with dirt, and he is at the behest of a woman to help with the rough work, and he should be annoyed, but strangely, he remembered that he would sit at the dinner table with her for a while, while discussing family affairs, while eating and drinking soup, he suddenly felt that the dirt was not so dirty, nor was it unbearable...

Rui Xue served rice and soup, first served one to Zhao Fengnian, and then served his own, while eating, talking about buying land today, thinking of Lao Wang's enthusiastic help, some worried said, "The so-called nothing to offer hospitality is either treachery or theft, the official surnamed Wang is so enthusiastic to help, I guess he will not have any bad ideas, but there must still be something to ask me, I am worried, what he asked, in case I can't do it, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the dock in the future." ”

Zhao Fengnian raised his eyes and saw her two heroic eyebrows, frowned slightly, his heart softened, he lowered his eyes and took a sip of soup, and said lightly, "Don't worry, he shouldn't be a silver coin, if my expectations are good, I'm afraid I like your ability to check accounts." ”

"The ability to reconcile accounts? Isn't it just a calculation, practice for a few more months, and definitely be more proficient than me, what kind of ability is this? Rui Xue didn't believe Zhao Fengnian's speculation, she still leaned towards the silver money, thinking about whether she should divide the shares of Lao Wang and Chen Yan Yicheng in order for the restaurant to gain a firm foothold in the dock.

Zhao Fengnian heard the doubt in Ruixue's tone, and was slightly displeased, but he didn't say anything more. Many times, his titular wife is like she is not from Wuguo, and she seems to know nothing about everything about Wuguo.

You must know that the scholars of Wuguo are expensive, and most of the families who can afford to read are rich or wealthy, so the children of such people have studied and learned arithmetic, and it is impossible to do the accounting office.

And most of the bookkeepers are also fathers and sons, children to grandchildren, in order to have food for future generations, they are usually unwilling to pass on this skill, so, this also forms a strange phenomenon, the bookkeeper monopoly, high commissions, and even twenty taels of silver per year, and the bundle of Mr. Xuetang.

Therefore, compared with coveting that bit of silver, if Lao Wang has some foresight, he will definitely be more greedy for this skill of accounting.

Rui Xue ate, hurriedly cleaned up the stove and went to Zhang's house next door, sure enough, there were seven or eight people squatting or sitting in the courtyard of Zhang's house, and it seemed a little embarrassed to see her come in, Rui Xue was a little puzzled, but she still smiled and greeted them under the introduction of Zhang's sister-in-law.

Zhang Dahe rubbed his hands and said, "Zhao Niangzi, this is all carpentry skills in our village, I agreed with them to pay forty yuan a day, and tomorrow I will start work after buying wood, if my subordinates are a little sharper, it can be completed in three or four days." After speaking, he pointed to a slightly darkened man beside him and said, "This is Zhao Lao Er in the front yard, who is the best muddy water work in the village. ”

Rui Xue hurriedly smiled, "Then I will trouble Second Brother Zhao and the villagers, I don't know these jobs as a woman, thanks to the dedication of the villagers." In addition to the wages these days, I also provide everyone with a lunch, and when the meal is over, I will send it to the dock. ”

Several men looked at each other, all shook their heads and refused, originally most of their families had children in the school, and it was reasonable to do some work for Mr.'s family, but each family was not rich, this autumn harvest was originally the peak season for short-term work, and they could also go up the mountain to hunt some rabbits and pheasants and other subsidies for the family. But at this time, seeing that Rui Xue was not the slightest bit annoyed, but had to provide them with a meal, several people blushed a little.

Rui Xue waved her hand and smiled, "I have been thinking about a few delicious foods in the past few days, it doesn't cost much money, and it is very popular, and I am going to sell it in the restaurant in the future, everyone should help me try it, don't shirk, if you really feel that you have taken advantage, help me build the restaurant stronger, otherwise a strong wind will blow the shed into nothing in winter, but you will lose your craftsmanship." ”

When everyone heard her say funny, they all laughed innocently, and Zhao Lao Er took the lead in responding, "Lady Zhao, don't worry, this shed is guaranteed to be built strong and beautiful." ”

Rui Xue smiled and thanked again, and went into the house with Sister-in-law Zhang, leaving a group of big men to allocate hands to buy wood, dig foundations, and remove adobe.

Ruixue took out twenty taels of silver and put it in front of Sister-in-law Zhang, "This is the silver needed to build a shed, sister-in-law will put it away first, and if it is not enough, then get it from me." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang was also not polite, put it away and stuffed it under the box, and said with a smile, "What else does the boss lady command?" ”

Rui Xue smiled at her, "Sister-in-law made fun of me again, what kind of boss lady, I don't know when I will be able to earn it back." ”

"I have confidence in my sister, as far as the food you make in the past few days, whatever you take to the restaurant to sell, you will make money, but it will return to the capital in a few months."

"Borrowing my sister-in-law's auspicious words, I can take out all the money in the house, which is a desperate gamble. Sister-in-law, come with me tomorrow morning to prepare lunch for Brother Zhang and them, so that I will pay my sister-in-law on this day next month. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang said, "Don't be in a hurry first, it's not too late to send it when the restaurant makes money." Don't you know, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows have long been crowded with smiles, after all, there are not many opportunities for the couple to make money together, this month, the family can add more than one or two silver inputs, buy seven or eight catties of cotton, and the padded jackets of several children will be gone.
