"They're in the house looking at the ledgers." Tan Jiexing chopped firewood, his face gloomy.

"In the past few years, all the money we earned in the dart game is gone. I still owe more than a hundred taels. If it weren't for the fact that we brought three businessmen this time and made some money, we wouldn't have been able to fill this account. ”

Talking about Wei, Ma, and Kong, Tan Jiexing's expression was even more irritable.

"Speaking of those three businessmen, I get angry. When these people entered Yuzhou City, they shouted all over the world, saying that our dart bureau had treated them badly on the road. ”

"Noisyly said that the Longmen Dart Bureau relied on its own martial arts skills, and they were not less guilty on the road. The rich people who are also called Yuzhou City, when they want to dart, don't look for us. ”

"Listen! What is this like? ”

"If you don't have us, just rely on the three of them, and you still want to return to Yuzhou from Wuzhou City?"

"Phew!"

"Do his spring and autumn dreams!"

Tan Qingqing saw that Tan Jiexing was still angry, so he picked an axe next to him and joined the ranks of chopping wood.

Chopping wood is a kind of work, and there is a lot of work, and it is also ingenious. Generally, they start from the small head, cut down with an axe, chop to the position of four-fifths of the firewood, and gently turn the handle of the axe with their hands, and the two ends of the firewood are easily separated, without much force.

And the Tan family often does this, and it is a martial arts family, not to mention.

It's only half a gang's effort, and there is a lot of firewood that has been chopped next to it.

Tan Qingqing was chopping firewood while comforting Tan Jiexing.

"Heck, businessmen are profitable. If they want to speak, let them speak. Anyway, in Yuzhou City, our Longmen Dart Bureau is the only one. Those people don't look for us, and they won't be able to find a second home. ”

With Tan Qingqing's joining, this batch of firewood will be finished faster.

Tan Jiexing moved all the firewood scattered on the ground to the wall and stacked them one by one. Then he made a large oilcloth and covered it over the firewood. Avoid getting wet in the rain.

After finishing the work, Tan Jiexing had time to take Tan Qingqing around the dart game.

"That said, I'm just angry."

She pouted there, "It's not like you don't know!" Uncle and my dad value the most is the reputation of the game. You said we didn't let him lose an arm or a piece of meat. It is also in accordance with the contract and the rules. Everyone else is well, how can they do so much! ”

Tan Jiexing was scolding here.

Tan Qingqing took the opportunity and quickly glanced at the layout of the dart game.

To be honest, the area of the gantry dart bureau is not small.

There are three main rooms, seven or eight side rooms, a stove room, a firewood room, a storehouse, and two latrines. As well as two yards in the front yard and the back yard.

There are racks of weapons in the front yard. There are all kinds of weapons on the shelves that are used to practice martial arts.

The backyard is a place for juggling and resting.

The whole dart game looks around, and it's quite big. It's that the courtyard is full of dart masters, and it is definitely inappropriate for little girls like Tan Jiexing and Chen Hua to stay in this place all year round.

However, the second uncle had already set up a small courtyard for Tan Jiexing outside, and he was also at the west gate of Yuzhou City, side by side with Tan Qingqing's small courtyard.

Thinking of his assets, Tan Qingqing couldn't help but encourage Tan to pick up stars with him and go to Xichengkou with him to see the courtyard first.

"Didn't your father and my father buy us two small courtyards? I haven't touched it in three years, and there must have been a lot of dust in the house. Let's go, why don't we take a look now? ”

In Yuzhou City, there are very few women who have not yet married and can get their own yard to live alone.

After all, Yuzhou City is a big city, and there are hundreds of farmers who want to enter the city every day.

It is not easy for ordinary poor people to go into the city and find a place to lie down.

Not to mention, spend a few hundred taels of silver to buy a house and a yard.

Tan Qingqing's yard didn't seem to be cheap when I bought it.

It is said to be two hundred and eighty taels. This title deed, because it is more valuable, they didn't bring it with them when they returned to their hometown in Luohe Village.

Tan Jiexing's was handed over to his aunt for safekeeping.

Tan Qingqing's was handed over to Shen Meilan.

Of course, in terms of wealth, their Tan family is definitely not as good as Tao Mansion.

After all, Tao Mansion is a whole large courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits, in addition to the verandah, there are also warm pavilions and hugging summer.

On the inside and outside of the verandah, in addition to all kinds of side rooms, there are many precious green plants, Taihu Lake stones, small bridges and flowing water of small bridges and koi carp swimming in the flowing water.

In the summer, people can sit on the verandah and watch the scenery of the courtyard. Then look at the people who will lead the cold water to the eaves, and then splash it down from the eaves, forming a natural coolness, to escape the heat.

How can more than one word "absolute" cover?

The Tan family is naturally inferior to Tao Mansion.

The Tan family had no money to buy a large courtyard, so they could only buy a small courtyard in Yuzhou City that they could live in.

Although the Tan family is concentrated in Xichengkou. But sometimes, you don't have the conditions to buy an adjacent one.

Therefore, the Tan family often appears that they have to walk several streets a day on who they want to visit.

Since the fifth sister wanted to go to see the yard, and Tan Jiexing happened to be fine, she nodded and agreed.

"Let's go, then? Anyway, Yuzhou City is basically our territory. It just so happens that we haven't been back for many years, and it's time to let old friends know that we have returned to Yuzhou City! For them, this should be considered a surprise, right? ”

Tan Qingqing sighed in her heart.

The scare is pretty much the same.

The two held hands and went to the courtyard under their own name.

Before I even entered the door, I saw that the door was open.

Tan Qingqing is strange that no one has moved into her courtyard for three years. There should be no talent in the yard, but the gate is open, and there is still an oil lamp burning inside?

"Who?" The people inside heard the movement outside and asked aloud.

When Tan Qingqing heard this voice, she was relieved.

"It's me." Tan Qingqing responded.

So the person immediately hurriedly walked out of the inside, and after a closer look, it was really Chen An.

Chen An was still dragging a few rolls of manuscript paper in his hand, and he didn't know if he was copying something or doing something else. In short, after he saw Tan Qingqing, he immediately hid the manuscript paper behind him, and said:

"It turned out to be Sister Qingqing."

He was a little nervous, "You were taken by Mrs. Tao in a hurry, and you didn't say how we would arrange it." Uncle Tan will call the shots, let the three of us come to live in your small courtyard. Not long after we finished cleaning your yard, you returned. ”

"Hmm." Tan Qingqing nodded, and then asked him, "What do you have in your hand?" ”

"Nothing."

Tan Qingqing just looked at him quietly.

Chen An couldn't stand the oppression of Tan Qingqing's eyes, so he had to forgive, "It's a transcription of the Four Books and Five Classics." ”

"I originally wanted to copy a copy for Chen Shi, so that Sister Qingqing would not spend any more money to buy it. In the two months I've been on the ship, I've almost copied it. Only the final binding is missing. ”

"But the two Tan uncles said that the Tan family, the Shen family, the Tao family, and us all have to go to the Shen Mansion to study. So I thought, copy a few more. So as not to spend more of these unjust money. ”

What?

Are they all going to study?

Now Tan Tan won't do it, "Reading is a boy's business, and Qingqing and I are girls." Studying at a private school, Qingqing and I shouldn't have to go. ”
