A few of the slaves next to him were beaten well in the early morning, and they all started to shout.

"As a domestic servant, you must keep your duty!"

"There is a world of difference between the identity of my family and you, you are so bold, you chased and beat the world with a wooden stick last night, and I haven't pursued you yet!"

"Our Jiangning Xinguo Mansion Qi clan is the first-class elite clan in Jiangnan, how can it be your Wei family-ouch!"

A wealthy slave who was shouting the most arrogantly was pointing at his nose and scolding, when he was suddenly grabbed by Wei Da's hand and lifted it up with force, and a strong man of more than 100 pounds was lifted above his head like a chicken, spun around twice on the spot, slammed three feet away, foamed at the mouth, and fainted.

"What kind of thing are you, and you deserve to put the word Wei family on your lips? When you go into battle to kill the enemy, a cowardly like you tears it apart one by one. Wei Da swept the pale faces in front of him with contempt, and several of the slaves stumbled back.

Qi Tang was suppressed by Wei Da's fierceness and felt cowardly, but behind him stood the Guogong Mansion, and he refused to retreat.

He grew up in Wenrou Township, Jiangnan, and never met the Wei family, a cousin who grew up in Beijing. The news from the capital was mixed, and Wei Huan's reputation in the DPRK was mixed. He heard that this cousin of Wei San was very angry for a while, and then suddenly resigned from all his court duties in the name of recuperation, and only took two loyal servants with him, and returned to Jiangnan to live in seclusion almost alone, which inevitably gave rise to contempt.

Until this moment, Wei Da, the janitor of the Wei family in front of him, suddenly corresponded to the written life that the fox friends and dog friends around him had discussed in private and had only spoken a few words.

"Wei Dayou calls himself Wei Da. The Wei family was born as a servant and was fierce. In the thousands of troops, the head of the enemy was beheaded, covered with blood, and no one dared to approach. He was awarded the title of general for his rebellious exploits. ”

When the seven or eight slaves saw the tragic situation of their companions, they gasped, and they pushed me and I pushed you backwards, as if the sea water was ebbing and surging back, and Qi Tang suddenly found that he was alone in front of him.

Qi Tang: "......"

If you lose, you don't lose the battle, he held on to the façade and said: "General Changfeng...... Sure enough, it was mighty. Come on, drag out that useless coward. Today, I brought two famous doctors from Jiangning Mansion to visit Wei San's cousin's illness, so as not to cause any trouble, and not to make any noise about my cousin. ”

Wei Da only then remembered that Lang Jun might have been disturbed, and showed a look of annoyance.

He ran outside the study in three steps and two steps, and knocked on the door carefully, "How is Lang Jun in the house?" It's a bit noisy outside......"

There were a few low coughs in the door. Wei Huan said through the door, "No need to see me." Get out. ”

Qi Tang: ? People are still being kicked out when they go into the inner courtyard?

Qi Tang hurriedly took out the prayer post and shouted, "Third cousin, I came to visit on the order of my father, and I brought two truckloads of precious medicinal materials and two famous doctors from Jiangning Mansion. Here's my father's letter—"

"Get them all out."

"Yes."

——

On a clear summer day, there was a loud shouting outside the Wei family, and ghosts were crying and wolves. Several neighbors around opened their doors to watch the excitement.

Su Qiu couldn't help but smile and came back, "Lady, the cousin of the Wei family has been kicked out again." Gray-headed and dirty-faced, so embarrassed. ”

Ye Fuliu sat in the shade picking wood, and didn't raise his head and asked, "The popularity is gone?" Never to come back? ”

"He was as angry as a pufferfish, and he said cruelly outside the door, 'I disturbed my cousin today, and I will come back in two days!' I think he's going to have to come. ”

Ye Fuliu sighed, very disappointed. "He's coming."

Qi Shizi, who is far away in Jiangning City, is actually cousins with her neighbor Wei's family, and she comes to Wei's house from time to time to block the door, won't she have to pay attention when she goes out in the future? The 200 or so Han bricks buried in the backyard still have to find a new way to ship.

The situation on Shen Li's side is not right, and most of the big business of Han bricks is yellow. At best, hurry up and find another buyer. To put it badly, you have to guard against Shen Li's backlash.

She thought about it for a moment, got up and beckoned the carpenter apprentice who had been working hard in the summer in the front yard.

"Look at this pile of loose material." She kicked the shade and placed dozens of long and short logs and a few carved planks, "in which there were a few heavy pieces of wenge wood, which were picked out and polished and painted; Then pick some good quality short wood to make a middle partition and see if you can make an ice as soon as possible. ”

The carpenter did not find it strange. It was a hot day in June, and every family of the rich had to put ice in their houses.

"How big is the Ice Warrior going to be played by the owner?"

"If you do it tightly to the size of the plank, you can make as big an ice as you can. The house is big, so the more ice you put in it, the better. ”

"Okay."

The carpenter and apprentice were busy scavenging for wenge planks from the scattered materials.

Ye Fuliu sat in the shade under the porch and fanned the fan, and the carpenter picked out a few thick boards of wenge wood, and the largest boards were erected on all sides, drawing out the shape of a wooden box. ”

He picked out a carved rosewood plank, "The main family sees, this piece of rosewood is rare, and it is just right to make the lid of the box." ”

"Okay. You do it to this size. Ye Fuliu was very satisfied, and slowly took out a piece of open-mouth gold cake, took a small scissor and twisted a small piece.

"By the way, my house has a lot of yards, so I need to make a few more. Pick a usable one from this pile of wood, and then hit one or two ice proofs, okay? ”

As long as the master is willing to pay, the carpenter will definitely do.

On the spot, he should rush to work and work within three days.

Ye Fuliu put his mind at ease, got up and stretched his waist to walk into the house, "Every day from morning to night, I am tossing something, I am sleepy." ”

Halfway through, I suddenly felt as if I had forgotten something. What did you forget? I didn't forget any important things and arranged them in an orderly manner.

Anyway, it shouldn't be a big deal to forget, she was so sleepy in the afternoon that she covered her mouth and yawned, and pulled down the veil to take a nap.

——

At the same time, the Wei family next door.

Wei Huan picked up today's decoction and glanced into the corner of the study.

Behind the chest of drawers, Lin Langzhong hid in the shadows against the wall, grasping an old recipe in his hand, and staring at the black rat family at his feet. In the middle of the night, he cautiously poked out a shiny head and looked out the door.

Wei Huan took a sip of the medicinal juice and sat back to watch him probe his brain. This guy didn't know why, he was obviously a talker, but in front of him, he seemed to have been given a gag order, and he couldn't bear to say a word.

Wei Da only then noticed that there was an extra person in the study.

"Lin Langzhong! Why haven't you left yet? ”

Lin Langzhong looked at Wei Da, like a gourd that had lifted the lid - he had a mouth, and then he spoke, "I have a grudge against your cousin, and I can't see your cousin." Is he still stuck at the door? ”

"Leave early." Wei Da drove people out of the door, "Fang Zi stays, we will grab the medicine." Don't delay my family's rest. ”

Lin Langzhong probed his brain by the door of the Wei family, and when he saw that the outside was indeed empty, his courage suddenly strengthened, and he turned around and stuffed the newly prescribed prescription and the old prescription in his hand to Wei Da.

"Follow my prescription and don't take the medicine of the old prescription again! Go back and see if you have finished drinking the bowl of medicine? I didn't finish drinking it and poured it quickly. ”

Wei Da's heart sank, "What do you say?" Having a problem with the old recipe? ”

"Where did you get quacks?" Lin Langzhong shook his head again and again, "It is clearly a symptom of heat poison that attacks the heart with Danhuo, but he prescribes medicine according to the symptoms of a weak spleen and a weak stomach. ”

"That's true!" Wei Da shouted.

Lin Langzhong was yelled at like a spirit, covered his money bag like lightning, and said, "The Wei family and the Ye family have issued two consultation fees, of course I have to try my best to see Wei Langjun, every word is true, and it can't be true——"

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Da slammed the door shut, turned his head and hurried to the backyard.

Lin Langzhong was shut out of the door, raising his hand and banging on the door, "Hey, my medicine box!" I've lost the medicine box! ”

After shouting for a long time, no one answered, and a voice behind him said faintly, "Don't shout, Lin Dalang." What's the point of losing a medicine box? If you still want to practice medicine in the Jiangnan and Zhejiang hanging pots in the future, listen to my advice and stay away from the Wei family. ”

As soon as Lin Langzhong turned around, he unexpectedly met two other Langzhong he knew outside the Wei family. Xu Langzhong and Wu Langzhong are both well-known doctors in Jiangnan, who live in Jiangning City on weekdays and are accustomed to treating large families, and who do not easily go to other places to see a doctor.

"You two...... Came with the cousin of the Wei family? ”

Xu Langzhong tugged at his lips, "What is the cousin of the Wei family, he is the son of the dignified Xinguo Mansion." Qi Shizi asked us to come, can we still come? ”

Wu Langzhong sighed, "Qi Shizi left in anger and threw our brothers here, without resting their feet. ”

Xu Langzhong came over and put his arm on Lin Langzhong's shoulder, "Lin Dalang is a native of Wukou Town?" Take us home for a night of food and accommodation, and my brother will give you a breath, why do you want to stay away from the Wei family. ”

——

It was a bit hot in the past two days, and Ye Fuliu didn't sleep well at night, so he slept for the whole hour in the afternoon, and when he got up, the sun was tilting westward.

She stepped on the setting sun to go to the backyard, walked twice around the newly opened cobblestone path, counted the corners of the stone bricks on both sides, two hundred and thirty, one piece was not less, and went to the front yard to watch the carpenter's work for a while. The wenge plank was polished inside and out, and the carving of the rosewood board was being carefully polished.

"It's a pity, it's good material." The carpenter lamented that he could not do it, "such a large piece of rosewood seemed to be soaked in a puddle, and a large piece of it was soaked in the corners." The master had to move the planer, cut off the whole layer of rotten skin, and then set the four corners of the silver edge to be useful. How fine is the original carving? It's a pity that I can't keep it. ”

Ye Fuliu leaned over and looked at it carefully, "I look at this corner that has been rotted by water...... It looks like stagnant water is rotten. Carved all around and hollowed out in the middle, could this piece of rosewood originally be a lid for Bingjian? Original owner...... Ahem, I mean my ancestors were in a hurry, and the ice was not taken away, but it was left in the ice and melted, and the corners were rotted? ”

The carpenter gestured for a long time, "Possibly." Perhaps it was Bingjian that overturned and rotted the carving of the red sandalwood roof cover. But the pile of timber is so miscellaneous that the small ones don't look like a single ice stick, like several ice sticks split apart, and the pieces of wood are gathered together. ”

Deserted houses, it is common for wooden planks to be split and taken away. Ye Fuliu didn't care so much, "You can use as much good material as you want." At least one wenge wood ice can be carefully beaten, and two of the best can be hit. Rotten red sandalwood carvings -- first take a planer and plane it flat, and I'll draw a pattern for you to carve in the next two days. ”

"Okay!"

After going back and forth, he sent the carpenter away, closed the door, and it was dark and the twilight was heavy.

A pair of mahogany lifting wood lampholders that cost five taels of gold imitation have been completed in a hurry, and now they are resting in the yard.

Ye Fuliu tinkered with it and said with satisfaction, "Although the copper lamp is not as delicate as the original, it can also adjust the light and height." Very good. ”

Su Qiu pouted on the opposite side of the courtyard wall, "Lady, look, the Wei family's lamp is also lit." ”

Separated by two courtyard walls, bright yellow lights are lit on both sides, each reflecting the courtyard in the twilight.

Ye Fuliu asked through the wall, "Wei Sanlangjun, are you in the courtyard?" I'm feeling better, have you eaten it late?"

Sure enough, Wei Huan's voice sounded from the partition wall, "It's better." It is being used in soup, which is light and refreshing. ”

Ye Fuliu bent his eyes happily. Don't look at Wei Langjun's lack of words, he must answer all questions, and listen to them refreshingly.

She asked with concern, "Why is the ladder still on your side?" Beware of thieves in the middle of the night, you don't know how good it is for burglars to get over the wall. Hurry up and ask Wei Da to put the ladder away. ”

Wei Huan sat down in the courtyard and smiled silently.

A few ordinary words of concern to prevent thieves from entering the house are extremely rare to come out of the mouth of the little lady Ye next door, and it is obvious that she really cares.

A faint smile appeared in his eyes, and even the usual gloomy color between his eyebrows faded a little.

"The ladder is there."

Wei Huan took a sip of the soft and smooth egg custard, "If you bother your family in the future, it will be more convenient to have wooden ladders on both sides."

Ye Fuliu thought about it, "It's okay, just let it go." You have few family members, if something urgent happens, shout at the wall, and we can go over it faster. ”

Wei Huan thanked him slowly, put down the custard, and took a sip of mung bean soup.

The two had a silent tacit understanding, chatting casually over the wall, and neither of them mentioned that Ye Fuliu left the door in the morning, went straight to the backyard, and went home over the wall.

Wei Huan thought in his heart, "Does she know Qi Tang?" It's like there's something wrong with it, and I don't see it. ”

Ye Fuliu admired in his heart, "It is worthy of being born in the head of the mountain bandits." Steady as a rock, calm down. ”

Chapter 24

Shen Li has been in a very bad mood for the past two days.
