"This girl, I've made it very clear. There are too many houses to repair, the amount of work is too large, and the completion time is too tight, so to complete your business, I have to send all the people in the shop out, and I can barely finish it in three days without eating or drinking. Therefore, asking you for fifty taels of silver is really the price of conscience! ”

The owner of the carpenter's shop analyzed it earnestly.

"Fifty taels is really too expensive, the normal price is up to twenty taels." Tang Ling is still bargaining, it's not that she is reluctant to give up money, but the allocation of the children's room has just come down, and she has to use the money on the blade.

The owner of the carpenter shop saw that Tang Ling was still bargaining, so he had to stretch out his hand and make a "please" gesture: "Girl, if you don't accept this price, then please." We can't take it for less than fifty taels, and you won't find a second cheaper carpenter shop in the whole capital. ”

Seeing this, Tang Ling hesitated, but she also knew in her heart that this was indeed the cheapest carpenter shop in the whole capital, but fifty taels was completely more than her budget!

Not only does the house need to be repaired, but also desks and benches, as well as wooden beds for the children's lunch break, and money for Mr. Teach...

Ay...

Otherwise, solve the problem at hand first?

As for the problems in the future, let's wait until later?

Tang Ling was distraught.

Lin Duan saw that Tang Ling was still hesitating, and he also knew what Tang Ling was struggling with, so he stepped forward and talked to the boss: "Chen Carpenter, we accept the price, you call your carpenter worker, let's repair it as soon as possible." ”

Chen Mugong glanced at Lin Duan suspiciously.

When Tang Ling heard this, he quickly grabbed Lin Duan and asked in a suppressed voice: "Young Master Lin!" What are you doing? I haven't figured it out yet! ”

"Don't think about it, I'll pay for it." Lin Duan smiled slightly, and then gave the money bag to Chen Mugong from his waist, "Here is a deposit of twenty taels, and I will pay it off when you are all finished." ”

Chen Mugong opened the money bag and looked at it, his eyes lit up!

"Okay! I'm going to call my brothers. "Chen carpenters are much more enthusiastic.

Seeing that Chen Carpenter went to the back room, Tang Ling's face was obviously embarrassed.

"Lin Gongzi, this money can't be let out of you. I borrowed this money from you! I'll pay you back! Tang Ling looked at Lin Duan and spoke seriously.

Lin Duan felt that it didn't matter, and responded casually: "Well, then I'll lend it to Mr. Tang." ”

Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Carpenter took the carpenter workers and followed Tang Ling's carriage to the outskirts of the city.

……

Qi Moyu looked at the dilapidated courtyard and frowned, this is completely unsightly!

Just when she disliked this house, suddenly she heard the sound of a carriage not far away, she followed the voice, only to see Mu Yang driving over, followed by more than a dozen people from the Hou Mansion!

"Childe, we're here." Mu Yang tightened the reins and said sideways.

"Hmm." Xiao Yichen answered, lifted the curtain with a folding fan and walked out.

Qi Moyu looked at Xiao Yichen with surprise and joy and asked, "Mr. Chen?" What are you doing here? And brought so many family members from my Hou Mansion? ”

Xiao Yichen slowly walked off the carriageway: "The houses here are dilapidated, and it will take some time to repair. The families in the Hou Mansion were all retired from the army, and they were all necessary skills to set up camp, so repairing the house was a breeze for them. ”

Qi Moyu was shocked: "Mr. Chen, how do you know that the houses here are in tatters!" You're like a god! ”

Xiao Yichen didn't respond, but turned his head sideways and asked Mu Yang to arrange for the Hou Mansion to enter the courtyard and start repairing the house.

Liu Yuan looked at the people who suddenly walked into the courtyard, a little dumbfounded, she walked into Mu Yang and asked, "Mu Gongzi, where are these people from..."

"This is the person Mr. Chen brought from the Hou Mansion to repair the house here." Mu Yang replied, and then also picked up the wood on the side and prepared to help.

"That's right......" Liu Kite nodded slowly.

Xiao Yichen slowly walked into the courtyard and looked around a few times, as if he was looking for someone.

Qi Moyu also noticed Xiao Yichen's eyes scanning in the courtyard, so he leaned in with a wicked smile and asked, "Mr. Chen!" You look left and right, is this looking for someone? ”

"Nope." Xiao Yichen immediately withdrew his eyes and replied calmly.

"Come on! You must be looking for Tang Ling! Qi Moyu said confidently, "As soon as I left with my front foot, you followed with your back foot!" You must have gone to Tangfu and asked about Tangling, otherwise why would you come here. ”

Before, Qi Moyu still felt that Xiao Yichen was like a god, but after thinking about it, she found that something was wrong.

How did Xiao Yichen know that the house that Tang Ling got was on the outskirts of the city? Then I must have gone to Tangfu to ask! And knowing that Tang Ling was supervising the work here, and remembering that the land given by the Ministry of Industry was not a good place, just in case, he brought someone from the Hou Mansion to help!

It must be so!

Qi Moyu is particularly confident in his reasoning.

Xiao Yichen didn't want to answer Qi Moyu's words, but asked directly: "Do you know where Tang Ling went?" and Lin Duan, why didn't he see him. ”

Qi Moyu spread his hands and said that he didn't know: "I've just been here for a while, so I don't know." ”

When Xiao Yichen heard this, he no longer pinned his hopes on Qi Moyu, but he was a little annoyed with himself, why did he leave the imperial study with his feet unobedied.

I also went to Tang Mansion and went back to Hou Mansion to find someone to help.

He must be delirious, he thought.

But he still wants to know where Tang Ling and Lin Duan are now?

"Willow kite." Xiao Yichen approached Liu Kite, and he felt that Liu Kite must know Tang Ling's whereabouts.

Liu Kite was handing wood to Mu Yang, and heard Xiao Yichen calling himself, so he turned around and asked, "Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" ”

"What about Mr. Tang and Mr. Lin?" Xiao Yichen asked straight to the point.

Liu Kite was stunned, how did Mr. Chen know that Lin Gongzi and my young lady were together?

"My young lady and Lin Gongzi went back to the capital to find a carpenter." The willow kite replied honestly.

As he spoke, there was the sound of horses' hooves not far away.

"Yikes! Miss and Lin Gongzi are back! The willow kite spoke happily.

Coming back?

Thinking about it, Xiao Yichen looked back.

I saw Lin Duan driving, and Tang Ling did not sit in the carriage, but sat on the edge of the car, sitting side by side with Lin Duan, the two of them were still talking and laughing, and the atmosphere looked very harmonious.

Tang Ling, who was not far away, saw that there were suddenly many more people in the courtyard, and she was stunned!

Didn't she just go out for a while!

Why are so many people repairing houses?

Just wondering, she saw Qi Moyu and Xiao Yichen in the courtyard, she seemed to know something.

Chen Carpenter saw that there were already people working, and he was obviously a little angry: "Miss Tang, are you entertaining our brother?" ”

Tang Ling was also blinded: "I don't, and I don't know what's going on." ”

"Mr. Tang! There you are! Qi Moyu walked over with a smile.

Tang Ling looked at the unfamiliar faces in the courtyard, confused: "County Lord, what's going on..."

"I heard that you are short of people here, so I sent someone from my Hou Mansion to help you!" Qi Moyu tilted his head slightly and said.

When Chen Mugong heard this, he felt that Tang Ling was insulting himself: "Miss Tang, you already have people working here, and you still come to invite me, don't you believe in the ability of our brothers?" ”

"I..."Tang Ling was speechless for a moment, how could she know that things were developing like this?

Moreover, Qi Moyu didn't say that he wanted to help her before!

Chen Mugong saw that Tang Ling was stumbling, he himself was also a bloody person, and he did not allow himself to be toyed with, so he turned his head very negatively and took his brothers to turn around and leave.

"Tang ......" Xiao Yichen saw Tang Ling coming back, so he stepped forward and wanted to say something.

At this time, Tang Ling's attention was all on Chen Mugong, who had already turned around and left, so he didn't notice Xiao Yichen walking towards him.

"Chen carpenter! Wait a minute. Tang Ling hurriedly chased after him.

Although there are people who are coming to help now, it is not certain whether it will be completed on time, and it is better not to let people go so quickly.

Seeing this, Lin Duan also hurried to prepare to help.

It was a little embarrassing to leave Xiao Yichen, who had already come over.

Qi Moyu saw Lin Duan and Tang Ling come together again, and leaned over as if he was watching a good show: "Mr. Chen, I think the relationship between Lin Gongzi and Mr. Tang is not ordinary." ”

Xiao Yichen looked at Qi Moyu with a dark face and did not speak.

"Chen Mugong, I didn't mean that, and I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Tang Ling hurriedly went up to explain.

Lin Duan also agreed: "Chen Mugong, you take your brothers to work, and the wages are still settled as before." ”

When Chen Carpenter heard this, he gave up.

Tang Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around, and then noticed Xiao Yichen standing in front of the courtyard door.

"Mr. Dust?" Tang Ling looked at Xiao Yichen in surprise, "Why are you here too?" ”

"Come and help." Xiao Yichen said in a low voice, but his eyes looked at Lin Duan with a bit of "hostility".

"Help?" Tang Ling was stunned, why didn't anyone come when they needed help, and when they didn't need help, they all came together?

"With the people of the Hou Mansion, it is not a problem to repair here." Xiao Yichen said, and looked sideways at Lin Duan again, "Hasn't Lin Gongzi already become a teacher?" Why don't you teach in the children's room, and you're here? ”

Lin Duan smiled calmly: "I, like Mr. Chen, are here to help. ”

Qi Moyu, a person who practices martial arts, instantly felt the faint murderous aura between Xiao Yichen and Lin Duan, and also felt that she and Lin Duan were a little in the way when they stood here.

"Lin Gongzi, let's go help!" Qi Moyu pulled Lin Duan and walked away.

Lin Duan was a little reluctant, but he didn't seem to be able to say anything if he stayed, so he had to be dragged away by Qi Moyu.

Tang Ling's mind was in a mess, she looked at Mu Yang on the roof, and then looked at Xiao Yichen in front of her, suddenly thought of something, and asked with some worry: "You all come to me to help, what about the children in the child's room?" ”

"I put the children home in advance, and sent the people from the Tang Mansion to send the children home." Xiao Yichen replied.

"Early dismissal?" Tang Ling was a little big, but he was a little relieved to hear that Xiao Yichen had already arranged the children properly.

Xiao Yichen nodded: "Hmm." ”

Tang Ling looked at Xiao Yichen, and couldn't help but wonder: "How did Mr. Chen know that I was going to repair the house here?" Also, aren't you busy with other things? Why did you suddenly come here again? ”

She always felt that Xiao Yichen's whereabouts had been uncertain recently, and she was elusive!

Xiao Yichen replied calmly: "After finishing the matter, I went back to the Hou Mansion to take a look, and I heard the county lord say that Mr. Tang needed help here, so he came over." ”

Tang Ling looked at Xiao Yichen suspiciously.

She still felt outrageous, either no one came, or a bunch of people came.

That's it, someone will help, the more the merrier!

It seems that the house here has been repaired and completed on time!

Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a big problem has finally been solved!

Just as he was thinking, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again not far away.
