"Then go to Yuzhuang to inquire about how to repair the kang, whether there is anyone in their Yuzhuang who specializes in this, if there is, ask them to help repair the kang after the spring."

Cheng Yuanxi nodded in response, "Okay, it's just that what about the bed in our room after the kang is repaired?" ”

"Sleeping in a bed in summer and sleeping on a kang in winter, what is there to worry about?" Cheng Dazhu glanced at him and led Mingyi with a smile.

Cheng Yuanxi shook his head helplessly, "If we repair the kang, what about the clansmen?" ”

"Ask the patriarch and the village chief, if you want to repair it, then wait for us to repair it together."

"That's all there is to it."

followed the grandfather and grandson back home, but was stopped by the clansmen before entering the house.

"Yuanxi! Did you two go to Fucheng? ”

Cheng Yuanxi saw that his father was holding his daughter without being stopped first, but he was the only one who was stopped, and his mood was complicated; What's going on with these people, they didn't dare to stop his father, they ran to stop him.

"I bought a lot of things! Look at such a big bag. ”

"Yuanxi, your family is developed, but you can't forget our people."

"Don't say a word, when did they forget their clansmen in Yuanxi? This time, the hired people to work, but they were the same clan invited by the Yuanxi family and their family; If you really don't miss the clansmen, as soon as people release the news, more people will come to work. ”

There are people who come to see the excitement and have clear minds.

If you take advantage of others, you always have to think about the good of others; There are always some people in the clan who are not sober-minded and often make mistakes, and they were originally kind enough to help, but they didn't think about the good of others, but chilled people's hearts.

"Look at my mouth, Yuanxi! Don't be careful. ”

Cheng Yuanxi waved his hand, "Brothers, let's go back first, it's cold, it's cold, don't freeze." ”

After saying that, he squeezed out the crowd and left, as for what the rest of the people thought, it was none of his business.

These people who came to see the excitement saw that there was no excitement to see, and they dispersed in twos and threes.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard house, Cheng Dazhu and Mingyi sat on chairs and waited for him to arrive; Seeing him walking in a hurry, Cheng Dazhu smiled meaningfully.

"The third child, the popularity is good!"

"Don't tease your son, they're here to see the fun; We went to Fucheng, and I was holding so many things, and people knew at a glance that we had bought a lot of things and came back. As he spoke, he put the things on the small table beside Mingyi; Then the daughter took the position, "You don't pull your son, if there is a cousin to help, the son will have to be stopped outside by them to ask questions, don't think about entering this house." ”

Cheng Dazhu laughed, "Everyone in the clan has it, you still want to participate in the imperial examination, these interpersonal relationships should be dealt with first; Being an official can't be based on temperament, you used to be too temperamental, and you will achieve nothing. ”

Cheng Yuanxi:

Gotta get it.

He really didn't do anything except copy books to make money.

"Dad, you save me some face in front of my daughter." Touch your nose and know that you are at a loss.

Mingyi pursed her lips and smiled.

"In the past, it was too face-saving for you, and you put aside your hands on family affairs first; The bricks are ordered, right? Once you have ordered, give the voucher to your eldest brother, let your eldest brother go to docking, and you spend more time reading. This year is the triennial imperial examination, and if you participate in the imperial examination, you will have to go back to your hometown. ”

Mingyi said: "Grandfather, father, don't go back to your hometown; This matter can be solved by the prince of Zhou, and it will be in the northwest imperial examination, and this will be the root of our family in the future. ”

The imperial examination is to go back to the ancestral land to take the examination, of course, if someone pulls their relationship to the northwest; That is the Northwest people, and they can only take the test in the Northwest.

"Then you talk to the prince of Zhou, if you can do it, you don't have to go back to your hometown; Last year's drought made it impossible to go back alone. Cheng Dazhu shook his head and sighed, thinking of the hardships and difficulties along the way, his heart was heavy.

The Cheng clan came to the northwest with all the beards and tails, and many people died on the road, were arrested and their wives were separated.

A drought can wipe out an entire county, or even an entire province.

"Well, I'll ask the prince of Zhou." Mingyi said.

Cheng Dazhu's slightly invisible chin, Cheng Yuanxi's matter will be put aside first; Their top priority was to build a workshop, and they couldn't stop making soap at home.

The Cheng family is busy, Cheng Dazhu stands up to look at the overall situation, Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan run errands; Cheng Yuanxi checked with Cheng Dazhu on major matters, and the rest of the time was Wen Shu and picked up the books he had read.

Early February.

Zhou Ting led a team of people to Chengjiazhuang and went straight to Cheng Dazhu's house; When the people of the Cheng clan saw these people, they automatically avoided it, allowing this team of people to arrive at the door of Cheng Dazhu's house smoothly.

"Master, it's here." I do not bring a stool to open the carriage door.

"Hmm."

Zhou Ting walked out of the carriage and stepped on the stool and walked down, "Bring things to Yiyi and send them directly to Canghai Garden, and hand over the other things to Old Man Cheng." ”

"Minions understand." Don't bend down slightly for a smile.

Zhou Ting walked towards the big open gate, and shouted from behind: "Brothers, the things in the carriage are packed and unloaded first." ”

"Don't worry about your father-in-law, we all know how to do it." Dark Five said with a smile, "You hurry up and serve the master, I'm here to watch." ”

"Okay, the master said, the things in the box will be sent directly to Canghai Garden; The rest of the things were handed over to Mr. Cheng. ”

In order to catch up with the footsteps of Zhou Ting in a hurry, he stopped at the gate of the courtyard; Seeing that their grandfather didn't go in, he didn't consciously raise his voice and shouted, "Is anyone at home?" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yuandong heard the voice and hurriedly came out of the wing; A few wings that happened to make soap were not far from the gate, and when he came out to take a look, Cheng Yuandong was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.

"The grass people pay a visit to the prince."

"Well, get up, Uncle Cheng, is Yiyi at home?"

"Yes, yes, the ritual is in her yard; If it's not in the yard, it's probably in the field behind the yard. After Cheng Yuandong finished speaking, he woke up and said: "Please come with the grass people, and the grass people will take you there." ”

Zhou Ting waved his hand casually, "Uncle Cheng is busy, this son has been here many times, and he knows the way." ”

"Yes."

Cheng Yuandong sent Zhou Tinghe away, looked back at the person who worked at the door, and hurriedly spoke, "Don't look here, that is a nobleman, you can't look at it like this, it's rude." ”

It's like watching a monkey.

"Yuan Dong, this prince has come to your house again, is he going to find Mingyi?"

"Go to work, this batch of soap will cost a lot; You have to make enough goods within the allotted time, and you can serve snacks. Cheng Yuandong is not good at scolding, so he can only move his feelings and understand reason.

This is probably one of the inconveniences of inviting acquaintances.

"Got it, we're going to do a good job."

Cheng Yuandong saw them go back to work, and walked to the door to take a look; They are all very serious, and the seriousness of these things is similar to that of worshipping ancestors.

Sure that everyone was active and reliable in their work, Cheng Yuandong also went into a side room to help.
