When the sledgehammer was handed to Xin Yi, the soldier was afraid that she would not be able to hold it, so he held it for a few more moments before letting go.

Xin Yi smiled slightly, picked it up with one hand, easily clubbed it on the stone in front of him, and turned his head to look at Di Qing.

"General Di, where is the hammer, how to hammer?"

She had just pulled up her skirt and clamped it around her waist, and she was talking with a hammer, looking like a delicate little lady?

The garden was quiet.

A group of people who were watching the excitement were still whispering just now, laughing and discussing, and they were all staring at Xin Yi with wide eyes at this time, their faces full of disbelief.

Di Qing's eyebrows loosened, and he pointed to the row of stones, "Hit the wedge." ”

Xin Yi sighed and studied it carefully.

It was originally a large monolithic stone, as if it was about to be cut through it, and several wedges had been inserted into it, faintly cracked......

Fu Jiuqu walked to his side and said in a low voice: "Knock each wedge twice, don't point to one knock." ”

Xin Yi: "Why? ”

Fu Jiuqu: "So as not to break the whole stone, it will not be usable." ”

Xin Yi gave him an understanding look, clenched the sledgehammer, picked it up high, and slammed it into the wedge.

While! Bang.

While! Again.

The sound of the sledgehammer falling on the wedge is strong and powerful, and when you hear it, you can know that the person who pulls the hammer is not small.

For a while, everyone was shocked.

It's a strong man, two or three hammers, and he has to take a breath to come again, but Xin Yi is different, her relaxed appearance is not like hitting stones with a sledgehammer, but more like hitting a ground mouse with a mallet and playing a game.

The crowd watched her hammer in silence.

Not a single person spoke.

The only sound in the garden was the sound of Xin Yi hammering the wedge, and it cycled monotonously until the stone finally cut through it, and Fu Jiuqu went up to stop her from smashing the last hammer.

"Be careful, rocks fall and hit your feet."

Xin Yi understandably got out of the way and let him get it.

It's okay to use brute force, but she can't do some tricks.

"Little lady, drink water." Sun Huai was already waiting beside him with water, and when he saw this, he hurriedly served it diligently, and handed over a clean handkerchief by the way.

Xin Yi's forehead was covered with fine hot sweat, and his back was already soaked.

She thanked her, unceremoniously wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and then took the water cup and poured it into her throat.

A series of movements, without half of the squeamishness of the daughter's family.

At the end, she rolled up her sleeves, straightened her clothes, and looked at the crowd again.

"Where else to hammer? Where are these sliced stones going to go? I can help carry it. ”

Fu Jiuqu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was sweating all over her head and still asking for battle.

"You don't have to worry about it, there's a skewer over there, and they'll carry ......"

"Oh." When he came in, Xin Yi saw the string car that Fu Jiuqu said.

This thing is a bit similar to a chicken car, it is said to be from Shuzhong, the prototype is Zhuge Kongming's "wooden ox flowing horse", in short, it is a very labor-saving means of transportation.

"I'll pull this kind of car too."

Xin Yi said and rushed to pull the cart, but was dragged back by Fu Jiuqu.

"You rest!"

"I'm not tired."

"Don't be tired and go and rest." Fu Jiuqu's cold eyes were filled with heavy melancholy and distress.

In order to behave in front of his teacher, this little lady really didn't even want a face - Xin Yi used to take care of her face the most, raised it white and tender, and refused to bask in the sun at all, often joking that whoever let her bask in the sun is her enemy, but whenever there is a sun, she must wear a hat when she goes out.

But now, she is working against the sun, all for him.

Fu Jiuqu's heart was surging with indescribable emotions, and seeing Xin Yi's eyes focused and scorching, he almost burned......

Xin Yi is pondering, acting so hard, I don't know if Di Qing will recognize her more, and if she has the opportunity to persuade her tactfully in the future, will it have a little effect, and then change the plot?

The two of them "each had a ghost", carried the stones onto a string car, and were very busy.

Seeing this, the other people in the garden praised Xinyi for "not letting the women have their eyebrows", and then they went down to work, sweating like rain for General Di's vegetable garden and pond.

Shouting trumpets, chiseling stones and piles, shouting.

Half an hour passed before Di Qing straightened up and shouted to stop.

"Let's all go into the house and rest for a while."

At this time, the sun was nearly midday, the temperature was much higher, and the big guys were a little tired, giggling and wiping their sweat and going into the house.

Di Qing walked towards Xinyi.

"Mrs. Zhang is tired, right? My wife boiled tea and went in together to quench her thirst. ”

Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, General." ”

It was obvious that Di Qing's attitude towards Xin Yi had changed significantly, and it was very different from when they first arrived.

Fu Jiuqu snorted lightly, looked at Di Qing's back, and whispered to Xin Yi: "You are smart and have captured the heart of your teacher." He is the old man who cherishes people with great strength and straightforwardness the most. But ......"

His eyes were dark, and his voice was low, "You didn't have to suffer so much. ”

Xin Yi smiled, "It's okay. I can afford it. If there is nothing else, it will be strong. ”

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows and approached her to look at her, "Eleventh sister's intention to treat me, the ninth brother understands." But I won't let you be tired of yourself. ”

“？？？” Xin Yi looked at him in astonishment.

What mind?

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were deep, and when he heard Di Qing calling, he glanced at her, "Go wash your hands, don't come out again for a while." ”

Having said that, man has made great strides ahead.

Xin Yi followed and saw Cao Yi standing on one side.

She nodded slightly, and hurried past him and followed Fu Jiuqu.

"Mrs. Zhang." Cao Yi shouted Xin Yi, and when he saw her turn her head, he was still stunned, as if he didn't understand why he called her, why he didn't control his inner impulse, and his face was annoyed.

In Xin Yi's inquiring gaze, Master Cao couldn't say a thousand words, and finally lowered his eyes.

"Your orchid soup buns, reserve a few for me."

Xin Yi nodded in agreement, "No problem." Lord Cao can send someone to pick it up at any time. ”

"Hmm." Cao Yi watched her turn around, ran to Fu Jiuqu in a low voice, pursed her lips tightly, there was no expression or sound, and there was no sadness and pain on that handsome face.

He is still the gentle and affectionate, the deputy commander of the palace in front of the Yushu Linfeng, and the uncle of the country, but no one knows how painful the heart that was pierced and stabbed under his calm appearance at the moment.

～～

In Di Qing's house, the furnishings are simple and simple. Although it is not simple, it is far below the level of officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is lower than the magnificence that an official of his level should have.

"Come on, come on, have tea." Mrs. Di greeted warmly, and personally took the two girls to pour water for the soldiers dressed as craftsmen, and the clothes were extremely plain, without the style of an official wife.

On the Diqing Mansion, Xin Yi felt the equality after crossing the Great Song Dynasty for the first time.

There is no top, no bottom, no humility, no class. Di Qing loved the soldiers like a son, the soldiers sat and drank with him, laughed when they were happy, and together with Fu Jiuqu and Cao Yi, they came here and had to accept the same treatment.

Xin Yi was a little thirsty, took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Fu Jiuqu looked at her with a smile, and suddenly said, "I saw that the eleventh sister also prepared some pastries and fruit tea, why don't you bring them and let everyone taste them?" ”

These things in Xinyi's shop are all unique, and Fu Jiuqu can't wait to show them.

"That's good, of course." Xin Yi responded.

In addition to zongzi and orchid soup dumplings, she was afraid that the gift would be too thin, so she specially brought some fruit tea and pastries made in her shop, originally to make up the number, but she didn't expect that when it was brought to the table, it was praised by bursts of praise.

"Delicious. This pastry is delicious. ”

"The tea is delicious, it's delicious! I can't wait to swallow my tongue, hahahaha. ”

"Mrs. Zhang, where can I sell it?"

The crowd praised in unison and asked for the source.

Xin Yi smiled: "It's not for sale, it's made in my shop." ”

The pastry was made by Xiang Ling, but it was just a fusion of some of Xin Yi's ideas from eating from his mouth, and the fruit was made by Xin Yi himself, not so much a fruit tea as a medicinal tea. The dried medicinal tea is added with corresponding Chinese medicinal materials and dried fruit slices, which has a luscious taste and is also healthy and beautiful.

"Teacher, how does it taste?" Fu Jiuqu saw that Di Qing was silent, so he specially stopped him.

"Not bad." Di Qing nodded, and her solemn eyes turned to Xin Yi, "Zhang Niangzi is ingenious, both internal and external, she is really a rare strange woman, no wonder ......"

He looked at Cao Yi and then at Fu Jiuqu, and cleared his throat.

"What did you just say?"

Fu Jiuqu thought to himself, "The teacher eats well, and the apprentice is responsible for sending it." ”

Xin Yi was embarrassed by everyone's praise, and he was a little surprised when he heard Fu Jiuqu's words...... Did this guy do all of her master?

What was even more unexpected was that Di Qing slapped on the table.

"Good. Come back and send me more. Well, send some more to the brothers in the barracks and let them taste it too......"
