"Who?"

"The kid you brought to the inn." Wen said: "Dr. Hu has been raising you for three months, remember to bring some silver taels when you go to pick up people." ”

Liang Jiu asked her, "Have you forgotten people?" ”

"Haha, how could it be." Meng Changqing did not admit it.

She helped the two of them across the mound and came to the three earthen houses in the backyard, "Mother, mother, I have to wronged you for a while." ”

Wen: "You yourself live in such a place, what do you say about grievances or not?" Take us inside. ”

"Okay." Meng Changqing took the lead and left first.

As soon as the door entered, there was a small stove room, in which were two opposite earthen stoves, and on the stove were the iron pots that had been dismantled from the camp stove room.

Meng Changqing's two hundred or so pots were not left for the defenders, the pots were valuable, and she was when she was poor.

Except for the iron pot that went down to each component, the rest was hers.

There is also a door next to the earthen stove on the left, and entering through this door is where you can live your daily life.

In the room is a large kang, which is only separated by a wall from one of the earthen stoves, and it is precisely by letting the smoke of the earthen stove pass under the kang that the heat can be transmitted from the kang surface.

The kang has been dipped in a cloth and pasted with paste, and the futon is spread to sleep.

In order to keep warm, there is only a small window above the kang, so the room is not well lit, but even so, it is much better than living in a hole in the ground.

"This kang has already been burned." Meng Changqing said, "For the time being, there are no cracks and smoke leaks, you live first, I will go to Yangmen County tomorrow to buy bricks and hire bricklayers, and I have to invite special people to build a decent house." ”

"Okay, let your mother give you some silver first." Wen said: "It is said that the construction of the county government will be funded, but now that your reward has not come down, it is difficult for Lord Wei to guarantee that you will stay in Beishan County, I guess he wants to wait for the reward to come down." ”

Speaking of this, Meng Changqing suddenly asked, "Mother, what time is it today?" ”

"March 14." Wen knew what she meant, "It's been six or seven days since the good news reached the capital, even if it was Lord Wei's excerpt to ask for merit for you, it should have been in front of the emperor a long time ago, what you want to ask is, why hasn't the reward come down." ”

"Exactly." Meng Changqing put the package on the kang, and asked Bafang and Laicai to bring in Wen's things.

"Kid, the longer you drag it up, the better it will be for you." Wen said softly: "If no one pays attention to you, then you can do whatever you want, and the reward will come down a long time ago." ”

"Now the prince's situation may not be rewarded at all."

"Yes." Wen said, "One hundred taels of silver is also a reward." But what is the use of this reward? It's better not to give it at all.

Changqing, when you built that wall, it was for the emperor's reward? ”

"Not really." Meng Changqing said, "But since it is beneficial to the emperor, if he doesn't reward me with something, I won't lose it." ”

"It's hard to tell if it's a profit or a loss." Wen pushed the things on the side of the kang to make room for Bafang and the others, "If you don't give any reward this time, it will be more beneficial to you." ”

"Mother doesn't have to excuse me anymore." Meng Changqing said with a smile: "I know that only by accumulating merits can I receive a big reward in the future." I'm just in the middle of it, and I'm just getting anxious. ”

Wen patted her on the back, "If you have anything to say, just say to your mother, your mother is just your child, and she is very willing to tell you this, as long as you don't hate me for nagging." ”

"Mother's words are of great benefit to Changqing, how can I hate you for nagging?"

"The last box." Bafang grinned and walked in, "Where is it?" ”

"Put it at the end of the kang."

Bafang and Laicai threw off their shoes, put the box in place on the kang, and simply put the salute in place.

"Don't do it, let's sit down for a while." Liang Jiu stopped them, mainly because he couldn't see that the more they were placed, the more chaotic they became.

"Mother, don't be in a hurry to tidy it up, I'll introduce you to this room, especially the two stoves outside." Meng Changqing led them to look at the stove, "The stove on this side is connected to the kang, and if the fire is used underground, the soil kang will be hot, and it is still cold at night, so it is suitable to use this stove to cook and boil water."

When the weather gets hotter again, this stove can't be used, so you have to use this one. ”

Meng Changqing said: "Now that our government is not fully staffed, it is inevitable that the people below will not take good care of it. ”

"Exactly." Liang Jiu likes to boil soup the most, and she is very happy to have such two stoves in the room, "It will be much more convenient to cook soup in the future." ”

"There's a lot of firewood and coal in there, and I'll have some of them move in later." There is just one point, the two of you must pay attention to safety when using fire. ”

"Don't worry, your mother is much more cautious than you." Wen asked, "Where do you live?" ”

Meng Changqing said: "I live next door for the time being. ”

"Take us there." Liang chirped and said, "By the way, I'll tidy up your things for you." ”

The room where Meng Changqing lived was only a step away from them, and the two rooms even shared a wall, and the inside was exactly the same pattern, but in the opposite direction.

"That's good, it will be much more convenient for you to eat in the future, and the province will always let you call you." Liang Jiu Jiu went to the kang and arranged her clothes and bedding.

Laicai is still moving boxes inside, but this time he moved it with Xi Bei.

"Master Xi, where's the Bafang?"

Xi Bei scolded: "That slacker, when he saw that it was a bookcase, he refused to move it." ”

The bookcase is heavier than the box for ordinary luggage, and Wen gave him a reason, "Bafang didn't come to the wealth, maybe he really couldn't move." ”

"Don't believe him." Xi Bei put the study directly in the corner, and then moved after the province, "He eats more than he has come to wealth every day, and his hand strength is much stronger than that of wealth, but he looks thin." ”

As soon as he said this, Bafang came in with a bathtub on his head, "Master, you are just eccentric to get rich." ”

Xi Bei made a gesture to kick him, "You are as willing to work as Laicai, and I am also partial to you." ”

Bafang wanted to hide, Meng Changqing hurriedly stopped, "Don't make trouble, don't break my bath, I have to take a bath today." ”

Meng Changqing hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and when he came to Beishan County, he started to live in a pothole, and there was no condition for taking a bath at all, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could only hide behind the curtain and wipe it with water.

Now that the temperature has finally risen, she is also in a position to take a bath.

When it was dark, Liang Jiu started to cook dinner, and Meng Changqing boiled water in his room to take a bath.

The door was topped up from the inside, and she put the bathtub in front of the stove, and felt that the bath water was cold, so she got up and added a scoop of hot water by herself, and if the hot water was not enough, it could still be boiled fresh.

Compared to living in potholes, the living conditions have really improved a lot.

After taking this bath for more than half an hour, when Meng Changqing went out, he felt that he was a degree whiter.

She changed into clean clothes, rolled up her cuffs, and poured out buckets of bath water.

After pouring the water, just in time for dinner, she drilled next door, and when she drilled too fast, she forgot to put her sleeve down, so that her mother could see the scar on her arm.
