Chapter 173 A woman's heart, a needle under the sea

If you want to say which one is stronger, Shandong Jeju Chaojiazhuang.

Caravan passengers from the south to the north returned to their hometown with a smile.

The king of heaven is really benevolent and righteous, and sincerely invites all neighbors to help.

Three meals a day are full, and six days off and one new wine to taste.

Seven or eight naughty boys are naughty and move stones for bud candy.

There are gifts for the New Year's holidays, and the reputation of building a home is famous!

……

The mud-stained naughty boy hangs on the side of his mouth, and Chaojiazhuang is spread all over Shandong. The name of the king of heaven is even more well-known, and no one does not pick a thumbs up.

The most important thing is that the caravans gathered from all over the country transported all kinds of materials to inject vitality into Chaojiazhuang. Every day, the village will absorb the displaced people who cannot survive, distribute new houses to them, distribute relief food, and settle them reasonably.

Tenants, who were unable to farm in winter, were also called upon to be put into construction. More than 100,000 men, women, and children came from the surrounding towns and villages. In order to facilitate management, it was organized into an engineering team.

Build walls, build houses, pave roads and dig ditches......

Everyone is assigned to the thief, where you are and where he is, the division of labor is clear, and they help each other. The cold winter and snow could not stop the enthusiasm of everyone.

Chaojiazhuang has a good treatment, in addition to the rated salary, three dry meals a day and meat, six days off in turns, and half a corner of good wine per person.

How does this kind of good thing make the poor people who make up for two meals a day unhappy? Even if there is no one to supervise the work, no one is lazy, and they often rush to do it. With the efforts of the people, the construction of the city defense is progressing very quickly.

Chaojiazhuang buildings stand one after another, and gradually have the outline of "Xiongcheng". The stone faΓ§ade is seven or eight meters high, and the third layer of blue brick wall is also being built......

In late December, the end of the year is approaching!

Chaojiazhuang was already full of lights and beaming, and the foreign helpers were smiling. Everyone received ten catties of rice noodles and a few catties of meat, which is a New Year's gift issued by Chaojiazhuang, although it is not much, but it is of great significance. The families involved in the construction, plus the salary, can have a good year this year!

The people were happy, and the Chao family army was even happier.

As the Chaojia naval army arrived at the Jinsha River wharf one after another, batches of iron armor, strong bows and crossbows and other equipment poured into the barracks overnight.

Warships were assigned to the naval forces. Iron armor, the first choice for the Divine Arm Bow Infantry. And thousands of good horses alleviate the dilemma of lack of horses, which makes many fierce generals' eyes red.

When the divine doctor An Daoquan heard the news, he was not to be outdone, and came with a group of apprentices hulala. Everyone rolled up their arms and sleeves to accept the mountains of crude drugs......

Sick pharmacist Xiao Jiasui, Zhiduoxing Wu Yong was also very excited. Bianliang City and his party, the soldiers of the three armies changed their guns, and the Chao family army was shaken!

The soldiers of the Chao family are happy, all of them are happy!

The same is true of the Chao Mansion like the City Lord's Mansion, the guards, and the family members have smiles on their faces. Whether Chaojiazhuang is strong or not is closely related to their lives.

Chao Fu has money, and their money has also risen again and again. Not to mention in Jeju, even in the whole of Shandong, there is no Zhuang Ke case with high money. Those who do business errands in Jeju, who is not polite when they see themselves?

As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister.

The stronger the Chao Mansion, the happier they are, which can be called both glory and loss!

The Lord of Chaofu is about to return, which is a big deal!

Under the command of the old capital, Guan Chaofu, the family swept the streets, hung lanterns, and went to the backyard to tell the livestock to be fed and the fattest ones to choose.

Teacher Chao Qiang commanded the 3,000 guards of the Chao family to take precautions inside and out. The second housekeeper, Chao Fu, personally led people to purchase New Year's goods and purchase lantern materials......

In short, hundreds of people in Chaofu are busy inside and outside, and it is very lively. Everyone was looking forward to it, everyone was rejoicing, and there was joy everywhere.

Only the expectant wife Li Qingwan was happy and distressed.

I am happy that Chao Gai is about to return, and I haven't seen him for almost a month, and I miss it very much. When you meet that man, you can also surprise him.

But this expectation was shattered a few days ago!

Late at night three days ago, a big beauty moved in the next room. Master Li, the head of Fan Lou in Bianliang City, Tokyo, has a graceful figure and is as beautiful as a fairy. She is more beautiful than herself, she walks enchantingly and fragrantly.

As a woman, Li Qingwan was immediately alert and went to visit for this purpose. This Li Xingshou is really worthy of his name, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. Speak decently, be generous, just like everyone's girlfriends.

But when it comes to Chao Gai, it is like a different person, that unabashed appearance, opening his mouth Chao Lang, closing his mouth Chao Lang, talking endlessly, holding that person into a flower, full of infatuation, and his eyes are full of spring.

This little!

Li Qingwan is a smart woman, she understands from the appearance of Master Li that there is something wrong with the two of them, and she is ashamed and annoyed when she automatically makes up the picture, but she can't have a seizure. can only complain that Chao Gaise makes Zhi dizzy, and everyone is brought home.

It's nothing for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but she is a well-known woman, and it is not good for her reputation to spread it. Let people of insight in the world think that you Chao Tianwang is greedy for women, a drunken man, and has the heart to go to life and contain.

Since then, it has been greatly detrimental to the cause.

But people have not left, and they are only nominal ladies, and they are not qualified to say anything. Li Qingwan originally wanted to wait for Chao Gai to come back and persuade him well, it was okay to be a foreign house outside, and he must not marry home.

But I haven't figured out the question of how to open my mouth, and I found that this Master Li is very sensible and well-behaved, and he will please himself.

Usually, I don't go out of the door, and I don't step out of the second door, so I only play the piano and music with the Song family.

The old lady really can't find fault with it!

Li Qingwan's distress comes from this, and there is no reason to persuade Chao Gai to do anything. Thinking that this is also a hard-working woman, the mood is very entangled.

Lack of concentration, affecting one's work.

In the secret room, a table was full of various parts, and the woman thought that there was always something wrong in her hands, and she didn't make progress for a long time.

The outer door was pushed open, and immediately after, someone shouted: "Sister, rest for a while!" ”

"Here it is, sister." Li Qingwan's thoughts were pulled back, shame flashed on her pretty face, she sighed lightly, threw away the bow and crossbow parts in her hand and wiped her hands again, got up and packed up her winter skirt, opened the door of the secret room and walked out.

It was not the maid or the old mother who had lunch at noon, but Master Li, who was wearing a plain white dress, carrying a large food box to the table, tidying up the tea set, taking out a few side dishes and placing them, and scalding the wine on the stove.

"Sister, it's okay right away, you sit first." The cups and plates are arranged, the dishes and chopsticks are set up, and the woman's figure turns around like a little bee, gentle and virtuous.

Hey, come every day, come on time.

Li Qingwan saw the busy Master Li and heard her warm greeting. But he was thinking about how to drive her away, and he couldn't help but have hot cheeks.

Let's go! Who cares, the old lady doesn't care!

Li Qingwan gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and walked over with a smile: "Sister, why do you want to come in person?" ”

"Sister, Chao Lang specially advised, saying that my sister was busy and forgot to sleep and eat, and did not take care of her body. Let me remember to deliver meals and remind me to rest. After Master Li arranged a few dishes, he helped Li Qingwan to sit down.

"Hey, that guy still remembers that there is a yellow-faced woman like me at home." Li Qingwan's face was happy, and then she snorted lightly and asked Master Li to sit opposite her.

"Where, my sister is so young and beautiful, like a fairy." Master Li smiled, lifted the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Li Qingwan and himself.

This low profile completely treats the other party as a sister!

She has been in the wind and dust for many years, so she naturally knows that if she doesn't marry a dust girl, don't mess with the words "wife on the wall". Although he is good, his reputation is there.

"Sister, your mouth is so sweet." Li Qingwan smiled.

"My sister is beautiful, virtuous, and good-hearted." Master Li's face was full of seriousness, staring at the other party's plump and well-proportioned figure, and sighed to himself.

She has been in Chaojiazhuang for three days! From the shock when I first came to see the majestic city, to gradually adapt, and now I am actively integrating into Chaofu. I also heard Chao Gai say that he had two family affairs, and the pretty widow Li Qingwan in the family had a big personality, a strange and changeable personality, and was cold and warm on the outside.

Master Li naturally has to get along well, and after a few days of contact, he understands a little bit. No, I like it, and the few dishes sent are all liked by the other party.

"Come, let's sisters eat a few more cups."

"My sister invited, but my sister dares to disobey?"

, Li Qingwan smiled after tasting it, and raised a glass with Master Li to drink.

The economic prosperity and extraordinary drinking atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, from the emperor and dignitaries to the ordinary people, not only the big men ate meat and drank in large bowls, but also women drank alcohol.

The two women drank a few glasses of wine, and they talked a lot.

"Sister, tell my sister about Tokyo Bianliang City, I haven't been there yet."

"Okay, sister, although Bianliang City is prosperous, there are still many poor people." Master Li's smiling face was a little melancholy, he grew up in Bianliang City since he was a child, and he told the truth what he saw and heard.

Li Qingwan couldn't help but sigh when she heard the sadness of the prosperity of Bianliang City, and asked some topics she was interested in again and again, and covered her mouth and chuckled when she found it interesting.

You have a glass and I have a glass, and the wine is half drunk.

"Sister, there's a little girl over there in Qingzhou." Li Qingwan put down the wine glass and sighed: "It was that guy who was saved from the strongman a few months ago. ”

"Chao Lang said, the surname is Hua, after the door." Master Li picked up the conversation.

"Hmph, the king of our family is not a peaceful lord."

The word "our family", Master Li's face flashed with joy, and he joked with a smile: "Hehe, sister, why does my sister think that you are jealous in what you say." ”

"Look at it, the one in our family will provoke wherever he goes."

"Who is called Chao Lang, he can govern the country in literature, can be safe in martial arts, blowing, playing and singing, and does not fall in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Master Li became interested when he talked about Chao Gai, his little face was flushed, his red lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were rolling.

"Hey, don't mention that carrot, let's talk about something else." Li Qingwan sweated wildly when she saw this, and hurriedly interrupted and talked about poetry and songs.

She is the younger sister of Li Qingzhao, who travels and drinks until she is drunk and doesn't know the way back. The amount of alcohol is not to be said, Chao Gaiduo once said that she is a female drunkard.

Master Li has cultivated skills for many years, poetry and songs, and 100 cups of wine.

The two women drank and talked merrily, recited poems, talked and laughed, and cried and made a fuss......

People are actually the same, but their circles are different, and you don't understand!
