Yan Fengzhen pushed his glasses and said, "That's it." ”

"That's it."

"Tsk!" Yan Fengzhen's face was full of dissatisfaction: "Some small things, the words of resurrection are just a word, why be so solemn?" I think I'm going to be a big deal. Just fight for resurrection, if there is a shortage of money, I can still make up ten taels or twenty taels. ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "Brother Jingwen has helped a lot. I don't have to worry about money, I have a lot of money. Turning his head, Li Weijian called Wu Haiping and instructed him to immediately go to Luoma City to find the father and son of the Liu family, and start digging wells today.

Wu Haiping borrowed the Yan family's horses, Yan Fengzhen led Li Weijian to sit in the study for a while, and then turned his head and Wu Haiping led Liu Da to come.

To drill a well, it is necessary to select a site first. Li Weijian walked around the side garden, and chose a flowerbed, and the servants of the Yan family cleaned up the flowerbed after dividing it by two.

Liu Da came alone, and the two sons hired a carriage and would bring everything later.

Li Weijian pointed to the freshly cleaned flower bed: "Let's dig a well here." ”

"This ...... Please let Xiao Lao'er go to the floating soil first and burn it. Liu Da said.

"Burn?"

Li Weijian was a little puzzled, then Liu Da didn't talk nonsense, borrowed tools to dig three feet into the ground, dug out a small pit, and then jumped into the pit, squirming out of his sleeve a ball of dried wormwood and fire folds, blowing the fire folds to ignite wormwood, and then tried his best to get close to the ground.

When the wormwood burned out, he picked up a handful of ashes from the lower layer and presented it to Li Weijian, frowning and said, "Li Gongzi, I'm afraid that this place is not suitable for digging wells." Childe, look at it, the soil is black, and the well is forcibly drilled, but I am afraid that it will come out with bitter water. If you want to dig a well, it is better to choose a hot place with white and yellow colors, and the white water is light, and the yellowing must be sweet water. ”

Ha? And this way?

Li Weijian thought about it for a while, and probably figured it out, this is probably an acid-base reaction. With a dumb smile, he immediately said: "You don't care whether it's bitter or sweet, you just dig a well down here." ”

Liu Da has been working in the well all his life, and it is the first time he has heard of such a request. With a bitter face, he said, "Li Gongzi-"

Without waiting for him to say anything, Wu Haiping on the side said: "You old man talks a lot of nonsense, let you fight, and you will not be short of money." ”

"Hey, that little old man will listen to Li Gongzi's orders."

Drilling wells is a technical job, not that a few people can dig wells with pickaxes. When Liu Da's two sons came over with a carriage, they unloaded purlins, ropes, hollow bamboos and huge rollers from the carriage.

The father and son were busy all the time, first erecting a scaffold with purlins, hanging the wheel, and then starting to dig a well when Shen Shi was near.

In February, the temperature in Beijing froze at night, and the surface of the frozen soil was more than two feet, and the soft loess below was excavated.

Li Weijian had a meal at Yan's house, and when he saw that it was getting dark, he was about to get up and say goodbye, not wanting Yan Xiyao to come back at this time.

Li Weijian hurriedly went to visit, and after seeing the ceremony in the study, the young secretary Kou Yan Xiyao asked with a smile: "Fusheng started digging a well today?" ”

"Yes."

"Are you sure you can make sweet water?"

"I don't dare to say ten out of ten, but nine percent of the certainty is still there."

This groundwater is divided into shallow and deep, shallow refers to the first impervious layer above the groundwater, the amount of water directly replenished by precipitation, affected by the weather, not to mention, the Beijing division of millions of people, people eat and chew, eat and drink Lasa all splashed on the ground, and then by the rainwater seeps into the shallow groundwater, this well water is not bitter is strange!

Deep groundwater is different, penetrating the first impervious layer, and the groundwater below it is of good quality and relatively stable volume.

Hundreds of years later, at the beginning of the new century, the Beijing newspaper shouted every day that the groundwater was empty, and it was strange that the groundwater was not emptied for tens of millions of people and all kinds of factories. Now you don't have to think about that.

Yan Xiyao saw that Li Weijian was confident, so he smiled and bowed: "Since resurrection says so, then I encourage you to give it a try." After a pause, the words suddenly changed, and said: "I just heard Jingwen say yesterday that he was ambushed by the children of the Jia family a few days ago?" ”

Li Weijian hurriedly got up and bowed, and said with a frightened face: "Some small things, I don't want to alarm adults." ”

Yan Xiyao's face changed: "Huh? In broad daylight, instructing murderers to beat up the soldiers, how can it be said that it is a trivial matter? Besides, if the sea introduced me to resurrection, I naturally think that resurrection is a nephew in the next life, and I should take care of one or two. ”

"Uh...... What do you mean? Li Weijian had a faint guess.

Yan Xiyao seemed to be careless and said: "That commanding person, can there be Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion?" ”

Although this Yan Xiyao is good at practical learning, his official position is the left servant of the Criminal Department! The king of Dongping County was defeated in Qinghai, and although the impeachment was not Yan Xiyao, Yan Xiyao was the chief judge after the three divisions were tried.

To put it bluntly, Yan Xiyao is a knife in his hand today!

It has been ten years since the Imperial Pole was put on the court, and the court now seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging inside.

In the year of the Chengtianmen change, the army supported the abolition of the prince's generals to fight in front of the Chengtianmen, now led the troops to help, the front foot exterminated the rebellious army, the back foot led the troops to break into the Daming Palace, and the emperor of the day issued an edict to let it.

Taishang has four sons under his knees, and after deposing the prince, Taishang is the Prince of Zhongshun. He was incompatible with Prince Zhongshun, for fear that he would be unfavorable to him after he ascended the throne, so he took a risky fight and succeeded by luck.

After the change of Chengtianmen, the foundation of the present is unstable, and by abolishing the prince to make a rebellion, he constantly suppresses the four kings and eight princes and other powerful people. Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion even resigned and took refuge in Xuanzhen Temple outside the city.

In order to cater to Jinshang, the Jia family sent Jia Yuanchun into the palace.

Rao is like this, because the position is not correct today, and there are many people who treat the powerful and scholars harshly, there are still many people in the court who support the emperor. There is a saying among the people that it is rumored that 'the sun and the moon shine on the sky', which can be described as hitting the nail on the head.

As the sharpest knife in his hand today, Yan Xiyao saw the flaws of the four kings and eight princes, how could he be indifferent?

The Jia family can't fight with Li Weijian, all he cares about now is his eldest sister Li Kun, where does he care about Jia Lian's life and death? However, he thought about it carefully, and he was afraid that it would not be beautiful if this matter was forcibly framed.

So he frowned and arched his hand: "My lord, it is Xue Pan of the Xue family who pays for this matter, and it is Jia Rong and Jia Qiang of Ningguo Mansion who are hired to fight, but I am afraid that I will not be able to climb Jia Lian." ”

"Oh," Yan Xiyao replied calmly, not knowing whether he was disappointed or didn't care. "In that case, let's stop for now." After a pause, he said, "The Xue family is the Xue family of the old Ziwei She?" ”

"Exactly."

"Heh, the four families of Jinling, Jia Shi Wang Xue, what a big name! Don't worry about resurrection, I have my own thoughts on this matter. ”

Look at what this means, Yan Xiyao is going to use a knife against the Xue family?

Li Weijian is thinking about giving Xue Pan a long memory, isn't this opportunity coming?

He immediately said: "My lord, it is reported that Xue Pan killed someone in Jinling, walked the way, and reported a violent illness and died. ”

Li Weijian raised his head and glanced at Yan Xiyao. His eyes seem to be clear, but Yan Xiyao has become a fox who has become a spirit, where do you not know what he means?

Yan Xiyao showed a smile on his face: "Ignoring the king's law, what a big boldness." I know...... There is no urgency in this matter, and I will definitely breathe a sigh of relief for resurrection in the coming day. ”

bowed down to thank him, and Li Weijian retreated.

When he left Yan's house in a carriage, it was already dark outside. Li Weijian thought to himself in the carriage, he has not yet taken advantage of the situation, and he must take advantage of the situation.

Although he hit it off with Yan Xiyao this time, there are two of them, and Li Weijian doesn't want to be Yan Xiyao's lackey in the future.

Thinking of this section, Li Weijian said quietly: "I still have to get up." ”

Xiuying on the side didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did Childe say?" ”

He smiled and said, "I'm motivated." ”

Looking at the ignorant Xiu Ying, Li Weijian thought, just wait to hit the deep water, plan carefully, the worst is to dig out the first pot of gold, if everything goes well, it will be a little momentum!

The chariot stopped in front of the private alley of Ning Rong's second mansion for two moments, and Wu Haiping used a Qi Mei stick to send Li Weijian and Xiu Ying to the side door, and then drove the carriage around to the front door.

Li Weijian walked into the side door with his cultivation and walked a short distance, and saw Ping'er leading the maid out of the small courtyard in the northeast.

bumped into each other head-on, smiled at each other and saluted, Li Weijian said, "Why is Miss Ping'er here?" ”

Ping'er smiled and said, "Come and give the maid of the thrifty fourth master a monthly silver." ”

Put the moon case silver? Why did you put it before the first half of this month? Isn't it always released in the middle of the day?

As if he knew that Li Weijian would ask this question, without waiting for him to exit, Ping'er said: "In the first month, the monthly silver is a few days late, and everyone in the mansion complains about the second grandmother. The second grandmother was afraid that she would complain again, so this time, she simply advanced it a few days in advance. ”

"I see."

Saying that, Li Weijian wondered in his heart, I heard that the monthly silver in the first month was a few days late, it is said that Wang Xifeng should have embezzled the monthly silver to release the money, why didn't he let it go in February?

He didn't know that Ni Er had entered the Shuntianfu Prison, and Lai Wang'er couldn't find reliable manpower for a while, so Wang Xifeng's money lending was delayed.

Ping'er said: "The fourth master will go back first, I still have to go elsewhere to put the monthly silver." ”

"Okay, Miss Ping'er walk slowly."

Bidding farewell to Ping'er and his party, Li Weijian had just entered the small courtyard, and saw Hongyu greeted him happily, and called out sweetly: "The fourth master is back." ”

Li Weijian said: "It's a good thing to smile so well...... Could it be that you got the monthly silver? ”

Hongyu's face changed suddenly: "Scared! Can the fourth master pinch it? After a pause, he suddenly said angrily: "The fourth master must have bumped into Sister Ping'er." ”

Li Weijian smiled on his back, and stepped into the main room with his hands in his hands.

As soon as he sat down, Qingwen and Xiangling also entered the main room. Fade off his clothes, fetch water and clean his hands, serve tea, and wait for Li Weijian to sit down leisurely, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that ancient times are not as good as modern enjoyment, which is the style of a big family at this time. It's a little less fun at night, huh...... His eyes swept over the three graceful, delicate and lovely maids in front of him, and suddenly felt that in another two or three years, there would be no shortage of entertainment.

Qingwen put the warm tea in front of Li Weijian and said, "Fourth master, I will release the monthly silver today." ”

"Well," Li Weijian replied, "You go back and pay half a penny to replenish the red jade." ”

Qingwen pursed her mouth and said, "Fourth master, Xiangling is not in the house, so she didn't get a monthly case." ”

Li Weijian looked at Xiangling, and Xiangling hurriedly lowered her head. He asked, "Xiangling, what is your monthly case in the Xue family?" ”

Xiangling's voice was like a mosquito and fly, and she whispered: "Two taels." ”

Hongyu was shocked: "Two taels? My aunt's family is really extravagant, and a maid actually gives two taels a month! ”

Even Qingwen, who stood out for Xiangling, was also startled, and couldn't figure out why the monthly meeting was so high.

Li Weijian was in his heart. Xue Pan, the dumb overlord, snatched Xiangling and wanted to take it into the room, but because of his age and Aunt Xue's obstruction, it was delayed. But the monthly example of Su Ri is compared to that of my aunt.

Li Weijian said: "I don't have my aunt's wife in my room to be extravagant, so let's make a handful of money for your monthly routine first." ”

Xiangling answered in a daze, and there was no more words.

Qingwen turned around and entered the warm pavilion, took the brocade box containing the silver coin, and sent the copper coin that had been exchanged a long time ago to Hongyu and Xiangling.

Hongyu happily led Xiangling forward to thank her, and then took out a piece of paper from her sleeve: "Fourth master, in the past few days, I have collected the births of the masters in the mansion, and they have all been recorded here." ”

"I have a heart," Li Weijian took it and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Huh? Sister Lin is the son of February 12th? ”

"Yes." Ruby should be.

It's the eighth day of February, so it's not a few days. When the second girl gave birth to a child in the spring, she sent a poem in a hurry, and Daiyu couldn't be so sloppy.

Li Weijian pondered that when he went to the street tomorrow, he would always choose a pleasant congratulatory gift for Daiyu.

In the night, Li Weijian carefully considered the words and sentences, changed the draft three times, and finally ...... the PPT The manuscript is finalized. got up and left the table to stretch his body, and as soon as he got out of the study, a maid came up and whispered: "Fourth master, but are you going to rest?" ”

"Huh? Xiangling? ”

Li Weijian looked at it intently, and then realized that it was Xiangling who was left in the room today.

Xiangling hung her head and said: "Qingwen's body is not good, she originally wanted Xiuying to come to the fourth master's room, but Xiuying fell asleep in the morning, and she couldn't call ...... after a few calls."

Li Weijian is happy, and Xiuying's heart is useless! What a good opportunity, and during the day, he still said that he wanted to be motivated, and the result was this?

As for the Ruby...... Unless Hongyu is promoted to a second-class maid, Qingwen will stop her.

He looked at Xiangling and said, "You and Qingwen are very compatible?" ”

Xiangling said in a low voice: "I saw that Qingwen read and read every day, so I taught her how to write. ”

I see. Qingwen's small nature, the maid's body and young lady's heart, asked herself if she was worse than the girl in the house, and her heart was not ordinarily high. The only difference is that she has never read and read, she is a public and private, and has clear grievances, Xiangling helped her, and Qingwen naturally wanted to repay her.

Thinking of coming to Japan to learn poetry from Daiyu, Li Weijian said: "Reading is clear and nourishing, there are a lot of books in my study, you have time to read them by yourself during the day." But don't mess with the manuscript on the desk. ”

Xiangling raised her head and glanced at Li Weijian in surprise, then lowered her head again, and responded in a low voice: "Well, thank you Fourth Master." ”

The sound is still like a mosquito and a fly, but the voice is no longer as flat as before, like an autumn lake, and it trembles slightly, just like a little joy in a girl's heartstrings.

Xiangling thought about it, Qingwen, Hongyu, and Xiuying were really right, the fourth master is a good person, and he is the most considerate.
