When the courtyard was first built, the Li family and the Hou Ye's courtyard shared the middle courtyard wall.

However, the Wen family left a five-zhang wide open space in the middle, in case the population could not live in it in the future, and added houses.

Now the Wen family only has a small doll with a crescent moon, but the Li family really can't live there......

Therefore, Tao Hongying planned to occupy this place and build a row of west-facing hoods, which could be divided into at least a dozen rooms, enough to arrange new people to live in.

Mrs. Wen treats the Li family like her mother-in-law, how could she care about such a trivial matter, so she agreed at that time.

Even if Tao Hongying wanted to give her two hundred taels of silver, she resolutely refused to accept it.

After all, the courtyard of their house was built with the help of the Li family, and the vacant land was also set aside by the Li family.

At this point, the matter is settled.

At this time, the fruits on the mountain are finished, and the radishes and cabbages in the field can still last for half a month.

When the village chief and Uncle Zhao heard that the Li family was going to build a house, they led the villagers to act quickly.

When the leaders of Da and Xiao Wangzhuang and Da Huaishu Village heard about it, they also wanted to send someone to help, but they were politely refused by the village chief.

There are still people outside who are eyeing the Li family, and if they are mixed up by the bad guys, the gains outweigh the losses.

Not to mention that the Li family started the vigorous infrastructure construction again, just to say that in the study in the front yard of the Wang family on this day, Wang Zechen sat at the table drinking tea, his brows furrowed like an iron pimple.

He picked up the tea bowl several times, and put it down again, and his heart was very impetuous.

Opposite him sat a thin man in gray, with a cotton robe, and the whole person was like a shadow, even if the sun fell in late autumn, he couldn't help but go around......

Wang Zechen couldn't hold his breath and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, the Wu family didn't succeed in the first shot, when do you guess when it will launch the second time?" ”

Yes, this emaciated man in gray is none other than Wang Zekun, the second master of the Wang family.

He smiled faintly, and said with a somewhat cold expression: "What is the eldest brother anxious about?" Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, you can't do it without patience. ”

Wang Zechen doesn't like his younger brother like this the most, as if anyone is stupid, only he is high and in control.

He was also impatient to get angry again, and kindly reminded: "I know that you always think that my methods are clumsy, and I can't fight those mud legs of the Li family."

"But I still have to remind you that the Li family's journey from fleeing refugees to becoming a wealthy family is definitely not all luck.

"Don't underestimate the Li family, you think you have the chance to win, but in the end you are played by others."

Wang Zekun still replied in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "Big brother, don't worry, your example is in front, how can I not care?!" ”

"You!" Wang Zechen's head was smoking.

He was about to say something, but a long attendant knocked on the door, and then hurriedly sent in an official document, "Master, the official document from the Ministry of Officials has been delivered to the house." ”

The official document of the ministry?

Wang Zechen and Wang Zekun stopped arguing, and their eyes were full of doubts.

Wang Zechen did a good job on his errand, and he couldn't find any fault, so it was naturally impossible for him to be suddenly transferred or dismissed.

Wang Zekun even took sick leave, if he didn't cancel the leave and didn't take personal relationships, there would be no new errands......

The two brothers hurriedly opened the official document, and after reading it, Wang Zekun's face turned dark.

Although Wang Zechen also frowned, when he saw his younger brother's appearance, he actually felt a sense of joy in his heart, so he said: "The Li family has never been underestimated, you don't believe it, you know this time, right?"

"One move has forced you from the dark to the open, and you don't have to hide in the future, you can go out casually."

Wang Zekun threw away the official document, and the official document collapsed on the table.

There is no need to cancel the leave, there is no need to leave the favor, he has a new official position, a Langzhong subordinate to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and later he will take the craftsmen to study new farm tools......

His mind quickly turned, and he quickly figured it out, and sneered: "I have to say, the Li family is indeed capable."

"Actually, I was able to make the Ministry of Movement and the Ministry of Engineering move at the same time, and press me into the small yamen where birds don't!

"But why is the eldest brother so happy? I am the Wang family, and I am calculating in every possible way, in order to avenge the third child and to support the Wang family!

"If I can't make a plan, it's not good for the eldest brother, the royal family, right?"

Wang Zechen was choked and shut up.

Wang Zechenkun snorted coldly, poured himself another cup of tea, and said: "The Li family's first move is to dig me out, instead of sending someone to kill me, they are going to face me head-on."

"It's okay like this, because the Wu family and the queen are in front of me, and I still have time to rearrange, but it's just a dark chess game that turns into a bright chess!"

Wang Zechen saw that his younger brother had changed to his original appearance again, so he was really impatient to listen to it anymore, so he made an excuse and left.

Leaving Wang Zekun silent for a long time, he smashed the tea bowl in his hand.

From darkness to light, how can it be as light as he just said, and almost all his subsequent arrangements have been broken.

But thinking about a certain helper, he has a little more confidence......

In the blink of an eye, another three or four days passed, and on the small construction site east of the Li family, a few words gathered all the old and young masters in the village.

The weather at the beginning of September in the lunar calendar is cold in the morning and evening, but there is still a little warmth in the daytime.

Especially when you get to work, it's even hotter.

Therefore, many gentlemen took off their jackets, only wore undershirts, and carried wood and stones back and forth, in full swing.

Seeing that the sun was overhead, the village chief waved the cigarette stick and shouted to everyone, "Everyone rest for a while, wash your hands, and eat in a while." ”

When everyone heard the sound, they quickly put away the work in their hands, and then put on their jackets, laughing and getting together.

Half of the child was already half the size, and he carried hot water and put it in a makeshift straw hut.

The village chief beckoned a few invited masters, washed his hands first, and then sat down at the table to drink tea.

After the rest of the villagers also washed their hands, some maids came over with large clay pots.

In the clay pot, there are two big dishes: chicken stewed with mushrooms and braised pork with potatoes, and the staple food is white flour steamed buns.

The villagers each had a large set of bowls, served vegetables, and took a few white flour steamed buns, and soon their mouths were full of oil.

And there are also six dishes on the wooden table, a pot of white rice.

The village chief accompanied a few masters to eat!

There was a master who liked to laugh, so he said: "Brother Wu, what we are most looking forward to is to work for your village."

"Don't say anything else, everyone is doing well, don't find fault indiscriminately, we are comfortable doing this job.

"The most important thing is that the food is so good, it's only been a few days, and my mother-in-law says I'm fat."

The rest of the masters also chimed in.

"Yes, Brother Wu, if there is work in the village in the future, he will definitely call us. Don't get paid, just eat. ”

"After eating our food, when I came home, I felt that my mother-in-law's craftsmanship was only worthy of feeding pigs."

The village chief was coaxed into laughter and beckoned everyone to eat more.

"Haha, if you like to eat, eat more. Speaking of which, I really have a plan to ask you to make two more trips to our village in the future.

"The year before last, the descendants in our village had five or six marriages, and now they have grown a stubble, and they will continue to marry their daughters-in-law!

"But every house can't be opened, and next spring, I'm afraid that a lot of houses will be built in the village!"
