Early in the morning of the second day, Yun Xue asked people to go to Zhizhou's mansion to post a visit to see if they had time to see him. Mrs. Zhizhou took the post and hurriedly asked people to come over to spread the word, saying that she had time.

Yun Xue cleaned up, took Rulan and Aunt Fu, and brought some gifts, and came to the Zhizhou Mansion.

"When did my sister come back?" As soon as Mrs. Zhizhou saw Yun Xue, she enthusiastically held Yun Xue, and the two entered the living room together.

"I arrived yesterday evening, and it was too late to disturb the door, so I came to visit my sister today." Yun Xue explained.

"After a few months, the girl looks like she has lost a few points, and the days in the countryside are not as comfortable as those in the city after all. It's better for the sister to come back to live, why go back and suffer? Mrs. Zhizhou saw that Yunxue was a little dark and thin, so she persuaded like this.

Yun Xue shook her head, "My home is over there, my roots are there, I'm really not used to living in this city." Recently, it was the spring ploughing and farming was busy, and after a few days of going to the field, I got a tan. It doesn't matter if you can raise it back after a while. Yun Xue stiffened for a moment and continued, "Sister, I came here today to ask my sister about something. ”

Mrs. Zhizhou showed a clear expression, "You want to ask for the news of General Shen." Yesterday, the old man really mentioned it, saying that General Shen had led his troops to fight near Gao Li's capital. Dongyi's troops were defeated all the way, and it seemed that in a few months, they would be able to defeat them completely. Mrs. Zhizhou said with a smile.

When Yun Xue heard this, she was very happy in her heart, as long as Shen Hongjun and them were well, everyone would be able to rest assured. "Thank you, sister, to speak from the heart, I am also in suspense day and night. It's better to be busy at home, and when you are free, your mind is full of these things. ”

"Our sisters, what else do you want to thank?" Mrs. Zhizhou waved her hand, "But, listening to what our master meant, it seems that the army has gradually increased its demand for food recently." I occasionally listen to one or two sentences, like saying that the people of Gaoli are also fighting against Dongyi, so that we not only have to supply the food of the Great Zhou army, but also need to supply the people of Gaoli. The cost of grain and grass is huge, and the supply here in the state city is insufficient, so it seems that grain has been transferred from Andong, Ji'an and other places recently. "Mrs. Zhizhou only vaguely heard a little, and she didn't know much.

Yun Xue was silent, if Gao Li needed to be supplied, then it was no wonder that Shen Liang had not returned to Zhou City for many days. I'm afraid that at this moment, I am going back and forth to raise food and grass for the army. "It's hard for my sister to have a heart, Yun Xue thank my sister."

"Alright, let's stop thanking us. Although there is still a big difference in age between you and me, I like you when I see you, and it can be regarded as a relationship. If there is anything in the future, just open your mouth, no need to be polite. Mrs. Zhizhou was full of smiles and looked at Yun Xue very kindly, "By the way, stay with me at noon, let's just get a few home-cooked side dishes and have a light meal." ”

"My sister is good, I shouldn't have resigned, but my little sister came to the state city this time, and she still had to buy some food. The family is going to build a house recently, and the rules in the countryside are that anyone who hires a helper must take care of the food. I'm afraid I'm going to have to buy a lot of things back this time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to eat at my sister's place. Yun Xue replied apologetically.

"Do you want to build a house at home? This is a good thing, okay, then I won't keep you, and there will be a chance to get together again in the future. Can you still get the money in your hand? If it's not enough, my sister has it here, just take as much as you want. Mrs. Zhizhou expressed her attitude very happily.

"The family has enough money, but it is not too much to build a house in the countryside. Sister, it's not too early, the little sister will leave, and the little sister will come to the state city again one day, and she will definitely visit the house. Yun Xue saw that the time was really not early, so she said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Zhizhou was a happy person, and she didn't leave Yunxue in vain, but just got up and sent Yunxue outside the living room. Then the maid in the house sent Yunxue out of the Zhizhou Mansion.

Yun Xue and the others came out of the Zhizhou Mansion and went to the most lively market in the state city. Originally, these purchasing jobs, Fauber said that the person in charge of purchasing in the other courtyard would do it. Yun Xue didn't agree, buying in the courtyard is to pick the best things, but when doing things in the countryside, it is actually rare to buy such expensive things back. Yun Xue decided that it would be better to come over and take a look for herself.

When I came to the market, Yun Xue, Rulan and Aunt Fu wandered around, and bought some when they saw something they liked. Mainly pork, eggs, live chickens, etc., the weather is not particularly hot now, and pork can be stored for a few days. Besides, there is ice in the courtyard, so I can get it back later, put some ice and store it, but I don't have to worry about spoilage.

After walking for a while, Yun Xue found that there was a person in front of her who was leading a little donkey, and it seemed that he was going to take it out. Yun Xue's heart moved, she used to say that she wanted to buy a donkey, but she couldn't meet it, but this time she really met it.

The grain at home is generally not threshed and often needs to be grinded. In the past, they were both Tianfu and Yunxue, and it was an afternoon to hold the grinding stick and push it, which was really tiring. If you had a donkey, you would have saved at least a lot of work.

Yun Xue stepped forward, bargained with the man for a while, and finally bought the donkey. It just so happened that the things they had bought were almost the same, so the group returned to the other courtyard.

The people in the courtyard helped keep the donkey in the horse pen, and stored the things that Yunxue bought back properly. At dusk, Fauber said that the person who had gone to buy piglets and chickens had returned.

Yun Xue hurriedly went over to take a look, and bought a total of eight piglets, fifty chickens, thirty ducklings, and twenty geese. Those little guys seem to have only been out of the shell for seven or eight days, and they are covered with yellow fluff, which is very cute.

"Fubo, how did you get so many back, who has the ability to hatch so many chicks?" Yun Xue asked very strangely. Isn't it usually the nest of old hens? A hen can hatch a dozen chickens is very good, so many, how many old hens do you have at home?

"Girl, this family specially raises chickens and ducks to be sold out. Their family does not use hens to hold the nest, the women of that family have a unique skill, that is, on the kang to artificially hatch chicks and ducklings, and their family can sell thousands of chickens and ducks a year. A man next to him hurried back.

"Girl, this is what you send to our house on weekdays, Wang Gui." Fauber hurriedly introduced.

Yun Xue nodded at Wang Gui, "Fu Bo, settle the bill for others later, don't forget to reward him with another two taels of silver, and keep it for drinking." Yun Xue didn't say anything more to the man, just asked Fu Bo to reward him. After all, people have been running back and forth several times, although they can make some money in the middle, but they are always tired. Besides, thanks to others, otherwise where would you be able to get so many chicks or something on Yunxue?

"Okay, let these little guys take care of them carefully, and send them back to the village tomorrow." After speaking, Yun Xue turned around and left.

Leaving Fu Bo patted Wang Gui on the shoulder, "You kid, the girl will also reward you for your hard work, go, I'll settle the bill for you." ”

Wang Gui thanked Fu Bo repeatedly, "If it weren't for Steward Fu's support, where would the little one be able to do things for the girl?" Don't want the small reward, keep it for you to drink. ”

Fu Bo smiled, "Forget it, it's not easy for you, you just need to run back and forth on these legs all year round to earn some hard-earned money." I don't want your money, if you have any good things in the future, just keep them for the house. "Fu Bo really didn't like the two taels of silver, so he didn't bother to stretch out his hand.

On April 25, Yun Xue walked back from the state city. Fu Bo sent three other carriages to send the things Yun Xue bought, as well as the parts that the other courtyard should have sent over, plus those little piglets, all the little chickens were properly placed, and sent all the way back to the village.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the beginning of June. The Han family's house has already been framed, and now it is being cleaned up, and it seems that it will be able to live in it in the autumn.

These days, Yunxue can be said to be very busy. The family will build a house, and this time it will be built into a large courtyard, and there will be no less than 100 rooms in total. The family invited a lot of people to help, and they were busy for a month before they could be considered on the beam.

There is still a restaurant to open in the county, and the master carpenter who has been invited has already cleaned up the inside and out. Next, I have to find people, I have to make a new pot and stove, and I have to buy all kinds of dishes and other things, which are also indispensable. In the past month, Yunxue has lost a lot of weight.

Fortunately, the restaurant has been almost done, and it is scheduled to open on the eighth day of June, which has already given many people in the county a post. The house at home is now slowly cleaning up, waiting for the walls to be built, the kang is coiled, and then all the furniture is ready and installed, which is considered to be a complete success.

The furniture was also handed over to the two brothers, Yun Zheng and Yun Zhang, who were all making furniture for Yun Xue except when they were busy with farming, they got up early and greedy late on weekdays.

The two sons of Han Yi's family are not young anymore, and they are not good at studying. After Han Yi discussed with Yun Zheng, he asked Yun Zhao and Yun Xiao to come over as apprentices. The carpenter's craft is the ancestor of the Han family, and the old lady of the Han family pointed to this and saved a family business. Now Yun Zhao and Yun Xiao are learning crafts, which can be regarded as inheriting the ancestral business.

The old lady of the Han family, since the old man went, has been getting worse day by day. Although he was taking the medicine prescribed by Yunni, he quickly became delirious. In the past few days, I have been asleep all day long, and I rarely wake up. Yun Ni went over and looked at it, saying that it was almost dying, so Han Yue'e and the Yu family hurriedly prepared for the future.

Because the old man was in a hurry at that time, he didn't prepare anything, all of them were borrowed from the village. So after the old man's funeral, Han Yue'e and Yu hurriedly prepared the old lady's things. The coffin was made by Yun Zheng and his brothers, and it was already painted with red paint, and now they just need to find someone to draw patterns on it.

Han Yue'e has also been running to the old Han's house every day these days, for fear that if she misses the wrong eye, the old lady will be gone.
