Chapter 271: Another Son-in-law

Early the next morning, two carpenters came to the door. Zhou Weiji called Lan Yi over and asked the carpenter to listen to her instructions and ride into the city to work in the yamen by himself. During these days, he was busy building a house, and he had a lot less time to go to the Yamen, but fortunately, Zhou Changhai, the magistrate of the county, has always appreciated and respected him, and the various catchers of the Yamen were Gao Feng and others who could also support things when Zhou Weiji was not in the Yamen, so Zhou Weiji was quite relaxed. Moreover, Zhou Changhai, who had experienced the arrest of the bandits last time, not only was promoted to one level, but also changed his temperament and became capable, and his handling of yamen affairs was clearly organized, and Zhou Weiji's work naturally became easier.

Approaching the summer harvest season when the wheat is ripe, the yamen will also be busy, and Zhou Weiji will not be able to fish for three days and dry nets for two days. The officials sent by the Dengzhou government to supervise the wheat harvest have already arrived in Huang County, and if the appearance is better this time, Zhou Changhai, who has been the magistrate of Huang County for three years, will definitely add another bright spot to his examination results, and his promotion is just around the corner, so he is particularly active, and specially explained that Zhou Wei will strengthen patrols and leave a good impression on Shangguan.

One of these two carpenters, Lan Yi, still knew him, that is, Carpenter Zhou of Zhoujia Village, who made her a bath bucket, and the other was Carpenter Zhou's eldest son. Lan Yi's bath bucket and the bamboo bed in the yard are of excellent quality workmanship, and she is naturally very relieved of the craftsmanship of the father and son.

After Lan Yi communicated with Carpenter Zhou, he ordered six kang cabinets, four kang tables, four low cabinets, three flower-legged eight immortal tables, four high tables, two desks, twelve backrest chairs, four armchairs, two chairs, eight low tables, two bookshelves, a bogu shelf, two dressers, eight open round piers, two low dining tables, a large bath bucket with a lid, ten small stools, two basin racks and towel racks, and the remaining corner wood to make some hangers.

Besides. Lan Yi also customized four large wardrobes and two cupboards in the style of modern furniture, and the lacquer for the furniture and the reddish brown table table. The Bogu frame is black, and the rest is made of translucent lacquer in wood color. After these pieces of furniture are completed, in addition to being used to decorate the new house of Zhou Weiji's family, the yard where Lan Yi lives now can also be replaced.

Carpenter Zhou was naturally very happy to settle such a large order for Lan Yi, and discussed with Lan Yi a lot of details of furniture, such as the style of carving. The curvature of the armrests, the height of the chair, etc. Because the main thing to do was Lan Yi's dowry, Carpenter Zhou went to Lan Yi's house to make furniture after measuring the size of each room in Zhou Weiji's house. Timber Zhou Weiji has moved to Lan Yi's house, mainly walnut, ash and willow eucalyptus, and poplar and elm also have a few sections.

Although the courtyard of Lan Yi's house is very large, there are really a lot of things. There are also children and Jia at home. It was also inconvenient to enter and exit, so Carpenter Zhou said: "Sister-in-law, you see that this can't be done, I'll pull the wood back to beat the furniture, paint it and then send it to you." Don't worry, I'll send the rest of the wood back, and I'll guarantee a lot of it. ”

Lan Yi naturally agreed to such an arrangement, "What's wrong with this." You can use wood, but if you don't have enough, fill it with wood in your home. When the time comes, the little woman will give you another piece of the pay. ”

Carpenter Zhou heard Lan Yi's agreement, nodded happily and shouted at his son to go home and pull wood, Lan Yi waved his hand, "You don't have to go back, I have an ox cart at home, let's send it to you directly." ”

Second Uncle Wang's big scalper has been idle for the past two days, and it is still okay to pull a cart.

When Jia Shi heard this, he immediately said: "Tao'er, I'll go to his second uncle's house and let them bring over the ox cart, if it can't be loaded, the ox cart of Niu Dan's house next door can also be used." ”

Carpenter Zhou's son looked at the large pile of wood, "Auntie, of course it would be better if there were two ox carts, although this wood is dry, I am afraid that I will tire out the cattle if I load a large cart." It's almost over the wheat harvest, and the cattle are expensive. ”

Jia Shi smiled and nodded, put the teapot and teacup, "You have a point." There are only a few houses apart, you take a sip of tea first, and then you will come back in a while. ”

Jia's family was dressed in a neat purple dress, with a plain white flower-like face with a seven-point smile, and the faces of the Zhou carpenter father and son were red. Carpenter Zhou was okay, his seventeen or eighteen-year-old son had a tender face, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it again.

Lan Yi entered the house and took out six copper coins, "Uncle Zhou, it is said that there are so many jobs, you should be left to do it at home, and the little woman will take care of the meal." It's really inconvenient at home, so I bother you to pull the wood back to work. These hanging money are considered to be the food money for the period of time when the furniture, the wages and the materials for filling the furniture are done, and we will calculate it. ”

According to these jobs, it is possible for two fathers and sons to work for half a month, and the meal money for six copper coins is already a lot. Carpenter Zhou excused himself for half a day to accept the three hanging money, and Lan Yi had to put the rest away, sighing in his heart that the folk customs of this era were simple.

Second Uncle Wang and Niu Wentian quickly took the ox cart to Lan Yi's yard, helped Zhou Carpenter and his son load the wood into the cart and sent it to Zhoujia Village.

Before Carpenter Zhou went out, he secretly glanced at Jia Shi a few times, opened his mouth to say a few words to her, but he didn't know what to say, and went out dejectedly.

Second Uncle Wang sent the wood back, went to Lan Yi's house, and asked Lan Yi to lead him to Zhou Weiji's yard to have a look. Lan Yi took the key to open the door of Zhou Weiji's house, Second Uncle Wang looked at every room carefully, and was amazed, "Weiji, this kid, has really worked hard." This house is built firmly and brightly, no wonder your second brother said when he went back that he would build a set according to his yard. ”

When Zhou Weiji was building a house, Wang Linxi and Wang Linyuan came over to help whenever they were free, because Wang Linxi planned to rebuild the house, so he naturally studied hard.

"Second uncle, I think you can ask him what details he pays attention to when Brother Tuesday comes back." Lan Yi is naturally very satisfied with this house.

Second Uncle Wang nodded, and then told Lan Yi, "Old man, although we are not short of money now, and getting married is also a lifelong event, and it is appropriate to do a good job of dowry, but after all, this is the countryside, and people are shallow-eyed, if you get a room of good things, you are afraid of being remembered by thieves." The dowry will be obtained according to the middle and upper class, what should you do for your second aunt to help you watch, don't lack anything or something. ”

Lan Yi also thought so, "Second uncle, nephew and daughter-in-law also think so, just follow the rules of the villagers, the second aunt has already told me what to buy, Aunt Yao will help me remember it." You have a lot of land this year, and you are about to harvest the wheat, and your nephew and daughter-in-law can't help much, so how can you still take advantage of the second aunt's efforts. ”

"Thanks to the fact that we poured the frozen water early last year, we didn't get hurt by the frost rain, and the harvest was not bad, but many people in the village did not make wheat irrigation, and so did buckwheat. God's mind is the most difficult to figure out, everyone is rushing to pour it late, who knows that those who poured it late last year have suffered losses. Speaking of the crops to be harvested, Second Uncle Wang couldn't help but smile and sighed.

"Second uncle, let's live a good life now, the second brother and the third brother are busy with the affairs of Shang Ji, and the third brother and sister are about to give birth, if they are really too busy, find someone to help harvest the crops in the field." Don't be tired of your body and bones. "Liu's eyes are about to turn out in October, and production is possible at any time.

On the eleventh of last month, Xia Wan sent news that she gave birth to an eight-pound son safely, and Mi Yichao added another son-in-law, although it was not the daughter he had been looking forward to for a long time, but she was also elated. Lan Yi hopes that the Liu family can also give birth to a son, so that they will have both children and daughters.
