"The grass people thank you for sending each other, and specially brought old wine from the county, so you can set up firewood and cook a good meal."

Hurry up and whip for two hours, and then take the wood next to the official post, and rush to the old north entrance of Miaofeng Mountain at noon.

Xu Ku asked Zhu Biao to cook half of the pork leg that Li Zheng had sent, and gave each official half a tael of silver as a thank you. The head of the official squad added two more taels.

One is that dealing with each other will be indispensable in the future, and the other is that Zhang Guangtai's list has no freight, and the deposit can be squeezed out.

"Master Xu is bold."

The head of the official team arched his hand.

Originally, I was a little reluctant to be sent to escort these common people, but now it is different when I see the silver.

"I will come to Taoyuan to do business, and you can report my name as Ma Delai. I thanked my brothers for this meal. ”

Arranged for the servants, Xu painstakingly looked around.

As the old official said, it turned out that most of the dozen houses in Xiaozhuang were burned. Dried blood stains can be seen everywhere, I think it was a fight with the brutes.

The big house burned down to the mud walls, and there were three more shared houses, which were squeezed together and barely survived the night.

Fortunately, the outer walls and gates of Zhuangzi are still there.

"Master, when will the construction start?" The craftsmen asked.

"Find two brothers to sweep out two rooms and lay grass for the night. For the rest, build the village wall first. ”

"The wood given by the official workshop, except for those few good trees. Pick the hardest one to make the wall core, the stronger the better, remember to leave the shot port. ”

"Zhu Biao, you can decide the size of the shot."

Xu Ku arranged it in an orderly manner.

"Xu Lang wants to imitate the standard in the army, and the wooden core mud wall needs to be made strong by adding materials, and it is commonly used by the Daluan border army, so I can teach it."

"That's a hard worker." Xu Ku said in surprise.

Xu Ku didn't understand how to build a wall in the Daluan military camp, but Wei Hongluan said that he could teach.

What a treasure girl.

"The mistress knows this."

The craftsmen next to them looked at them in amazement, even they didn't know these things.

They are all poor people, and most of them rely on official matches to marry wives. In their eyes, the role of the mother-in-law is not only to drive piles, but also to help with farm work.

The mother-in-law of the main family knows so much.

The housewife?

The first time he was called like this, Wei Hongluan had a special feeling, and his face was a little red.

"Come with me, you can get the filler you need on this mountain. The knife comes with me, too. ”

Hurriedly turned around and walked first.

"Blessed is the Lord's house."

"Yes, yes, my mother-in-law cooks with a paste."

"Hey, you don't know. Last night, I took the monthly money given by the master's family to show my mother-in-law, and I was stunned to knock one. ”

"My family is about to offer me."

Listening to the envious words of the people around him, drinking the meat and vegetable soup that had just been served, Xu Ku only smiled and did not speak.

Is this shocking? The best is yet to come.

"Zhu Biao, you can recognize the way to Wanliutang."

"I went back to the Lord's house, I went twice, I remember."

"You take my letter to a person named Zhong Wenyuan in the back mountain, and ask him to do what the letter says." Xu Ku took out the sealed letter on the road.

"Well, I'll go right away." Zhu Biao hugged his fists and went.

"Xu Da, will you use the things that your father made?"

"The Lord's family, since childhood."

It was the only son of the city soldier Xu Qian, Xu Da, who spoke.

"You take two days' worth of dry food and stay in the col to the north, and I'll give you double the wages for your work." Xu nodded bitterly and smiled.

"No." It was a military salute of the mountains.

After everyone left, Xu Ku's smile gradually rose.

I only hope that this small village can last until that day, and I am afraid that the miscellaneous things in Wangjing will no longer be able to sit still. Qin Xiangru, it's up to you.

……

On the official road from Wangjing to Taoyuan County, two horses pulled a small car and ran fast.

"Why do you want to report to the jailer, if you don't let him return one hundred and eighty taels at that time, I won't be surnamed Chai."

The handsome little scholar muttered.

Who is this jailer? If you provoke Miss, he will suffer it. The one who drove the car was Chai Bancheng's close-fitting Yahuan Lu Xiaohua, which was powerful.

Hanzi specially said that it was exclusive to escape marriage, and he would pay it back in the future. If you knew that you would have gone to find Xu Ku at the first stop, you would probably be so angry that you jumped to your feet.

The matter of repaying the silver has been talked about all the way, and Lu Xiaohua didn't dare to complain, so she could only whip hard.

The skinny horse stumbled and ran faster.

The quilt in the carriage was taken from Xu Kuli's house, and it was folded in half for Liang Xiu'er to lie down at this time.

In the end, he is kind-hearted, but the little scholar sees a weak woman, but it is not good not to save her. Liang Xiuer is also smart, and her current identity is the little scholar's ink maid, which is more than a little higher than the ordinary identity of serving tea and pouring water.

"Can the son apply the wound medicine to the slave family, and if it is soon, he will be able to go to the ground in the evening." Liang Xiu'er raised her eyebrows.

The little scholar's heart suddenly burst out, and the secret way is really a stunner. I can't even hold it myself, how can the jailer stand it.

Looking at it this way, I don't look like I'm going to ask for an account, but like I'm going to give a gift. was annoyed, so he said fiercely: "Stay honest, in the wilderness, aren't you afraid that I will use it?" ”

Childe Mo said and laughed, and the slave family could see at a glance that Childe was also a daughter, and he was still from the inner city. Why don't you send the Buddha to the west? ”

This time it was the little scholar's turn to be surprised, and he was a little incoherent.

"You, what are you, I ......"

"Although the slave family is perfect, they have also served many nobles. Childe's gaze at the slave family is wrong. ”

"Moreover, the son sprinkled the incense powder of the inner city Diecui Hall, fifteen taels and three dollars, and the slave family knew it when he smelled it. Men don't need it. ”

Liang Xiuer smiled.

……

In just one afternoon, the small village in the old north mouth has changed.

Although it is said that it is necessary to spend the night on the thatched hard ground, but seeing that the thick and sturdy village wall has been repaired, the craftsmen who do the work are full of achievements.

The site is not large, and it is backed by a hillside, and the ten-zhang wall has been tightly enclosed.

Ten places were repaired at the battlement, and two wooden ladders were placed under each battlement, which were used to facilitate going up and down when the bow was broken and arrowed, and Xu Ku made it himself.

I had done it once before, and practice made perfect, and it took a total of one and a half hours for ten wooden ladders.

Looking at the smooth production process of the master's family, the best carpenter among the craftsmen is also ashamed.

"If the master family joins the military craftsman camp, I am afraid that he can be the chief craftsman."

"yes, it's useless to even have an ink fountain, and the wood is also straight."

This admiration from the heart is sometimes more effective than buying money, and the eyes of the craftsmen looking at Xu Ku are different from yesterday.

Perhaps, it would be really good to bring your family to live with you in the future.

Xu Ku didn't know that making a ladder could have such an effect, and he was sitting on the hillside behind the village with Wei Hongluan at this time.

"Thanks to the prime minister, with this village wall, it is safer again." Xu said bitterly.

"Are the thieves you said really coming?" Wei Hongluan frowned.

Along the way, Xu Ku was always in a hurry, and she saw it all.

"I used to look forward to the prime minister's delivery later, but now I look forward to delivering the decree earlier. The hunch is that this thing is always a good spirit and not a bad spirit. ”

Xu Ku said helplessly.

"The combat power of these civilians is not as good as the original Chai family's private soldiers and oars, swords, and tigers, I'm afraid they can't stop the enemy." Wei Hongluan sighed.

"That Yuan Hong's old gang can't compare to the barbarian cavalry, I just hope that there are no other forces involved."

"If the prime minister is in the mood, tell me about the events of the year?"

When I first came to this life, I met only because of a secret prison marriage letter.

But after this period of time, Xu Ku was moved by his true feelings. Contacting Wei Hongluan is no longer all about living.

"Sad old things, bring it up and do it."

Having said this, Wei Hongluan was silent for a moment and opened his mouth lightly.

"Daddy assisted the emperor, but he left early......"

Xu Ku pricked up his ears, preparing to listen to the past.

"Lord's house! The main house! ”

A few calls interrupted Wei Hongluan's words.

It can really make a whole thing! Xu Ku secretly scolded his mother.

Seeing that I am about to enter Wei Hongluan's heart, you come to me here!

When I got up, I saw Zhu Biao running up the hill in a hurry.

"Lord's house! Just now, when I was riding back to the village, I saw someone coming in over the wall, and I had already caught it at this time. ”

Over the wall?

Xu Ku and Wei Hongluan glanced at each other.

Wei Hongluan was more worried, and Xu Ku was surprised.

This wall that has just been repaired, and someone has climbed it?
