Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Xia Chuntao helped one person but couldn't help the other. She said helplessly to the girls: "If you really want to thank me, just work hard and help me run the shop and workshop well and live a good life. This is what you want to do to me." My biggest thank you, can you promise me?"

The girls said in unison: "I promise!"

Voices of "Thank you, owner" rang out one after another in the room.

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing outside looked at each other, Mrs. Xia is amazing! The group of people who were crying just now were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.

"For the four girls staying in the workshop, Manager Li will make arrangements in two days, and you can start working."

"The remaining girls, stay here for the time being, and take the children who came with you with you. We will return to Xiyang together after a while."

The girls nodded and followed Xiaoqing to the yard where they stayed temporarily.

Although the yard is not big, it is enough for everyone to live in. The kitchen, woodshed, bathroom, and hut are all available.

Xiaoqing brought a large bag of clothes over, "These are the ready-made clothes ordered by Madam Xia. One piece for each person. Wear them first. I will release the materials to you in two days and then make a suit yourself. The children will first wear the old clothes given by the farmers." , if any of you can do it, you can tell me, and Mrs. Xia will calculate the wages for you later."

The girls were overjoyed to find work when they first arrived.

"You arrange your own house, it is enough to live in. I will deliver food to you once a day. There is a well in the yard. If you need water, you can dig it yourself. There is firewood in the woodshed. If you don't have enough, you can go to the mountainside to pick it up. If you are afraid of a When you go out, just go with a few people. If you need anything, you can tell me."

"Ms. Xia asked me to tell everyone that you can walk anywhere in Zhuangzi, but don't go over the mountain. The other side of the mountain is not our Zhuangzi's territory."

Everyone nodded.

After Xiaoqing left, everyone ran to look at the room. There are five rooms in total, each with a large kang that can sleep six or seven people. There are only nineteen of them including their children, so sleeping in three rooms is enough.

The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, rice, noodles, grains and oils, and all kinds of seasonings. There was also a basket of eggs, fresh vegetables, and a large piece of fresh pork on the chopping board. Xia Chuntao asked the aunts in the kitchen to prepare these in advance.

The girls were moved to tears.

Can they really let go of the past and live the life they want?

There are two large wooden barrels and five portable barrels in the bathroom, and the barrels are separated by curtains. The girls assigned the waiters, four to fetch water, four to boil water, and first give a few children a bath. Others went to the kitchen to help first.

The girls all had their own things to do, and the courtyard suddenly became lively.

Busy life makes people have no time to recall the past, and busy life also makes people full of longing for the future.

Amidst all this busyness, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

In Dai Viet, there are several festivals that are very important, including Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although Rongcheng is a large city in the north, its geographical location is at the junction of the north and the south. The south is right next to a canal. Most of the southern merchants go to Rongcheng by water. It is precisely because of this that Rongcheng is extremely lively during the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

Generally, the government takes the lead and local gentry finances a grand dragon boat race on the river. The winning team can receive a prize of 200 taels of silver and can participate in the Dragon Boat Festival Flower Appreciation Party hosted by the prefect.

On this day every year, Rongcheng is extremely lively, and small businesses make a lot of money. It can be said that in one Dragon Boat Festival, you can easily earn enough income for one or two months.

Of course, things have changed this year.

After all, the prefect was imprisoned half a month ago, and the new prefect has not yet taken office. The current Rongcheng is taken over by the Longhu Guards. Although everyone is doing business as usual now, you have to ask the Commander of the Dragon and Tiger Guards whether to hold the Dragon Boat Festival activities?

If Ling Qingxuan has any opinions, just do it now as you did before!

So, the representative of the gentry asked cautiously: "Look, can we still hold the flower viewing party after the dragon boat race?"

"Do it, do it in my name. Not only do you have to do it, but you also have to do it more lively than before."

When the gentry heard this, they knew what was going on and were busy making preparations.

"Your Majesty, you are so awesome!" Xia Chuntao said while giving a thumbs up.

"How to say?"

"Zeng had been in prison for just a few days, and you started to hold activities with great fanfare outside, even more lively than him. Alas, once imprisoned, all wealth and honor are gone. I wonder what he thinks? This move of yours is powerful, it can kill people and kill their hearts!"

Ling Qingxuan shocked Xia Chuntao and said, "What are you talking about, killing people and killing people? I don't have that skill."

"You're not a lively person either," Xia Chuntao touched her chin, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster."

Ling Qingxuan laughed angrily and rubbed Xia Chuntao's head carelessly, "Tell me clearly, who is the monster?"

Xia Chuntao glanced back and forth at Ling Qingxuan with a wretched look, then leaned into Ling Qingxuan's ear and said, "Even if the prince is a demon, he is also the most beautiful and smartest demon in the world."

Ling Qingxuan's heart suddenly lost its rhythm.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the inappropriate agitation, looked at Xia Chuntao who was very close at hand, and said: "Two-skinned face!"

"So," Xia Chuntao asked in a low voice, "Why exactly?"

Ling Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "You want to know so much?"

Xia Chuntao nodded desperately.

Ling Qingxuan slowly came closer to her ear, and his warm breath penetrated into her ear, making her feel itchy. Just as she was about to cover her ears, she heard a breathy sound in her ear: "Pry out the news from me, yes There's a price to pay. What price are you going to pay?"

Xia Chuntao's face suddenly turned red.

How can a mortal like me control such a male goblin? She really wanted to say, "Give it to you, give it to you, give it all to you!"

Ling Qingxuan pinched Xia Chuntao's red cheeks and said, "I just want you to make me an undershirt. Where did you think you were going?"

What was Xia Chuntao's mood at that time?

It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and he froze instantly.

"Oh - do you want me... we haven't gotten married yet, isn't it appropriate?"

Xia Chuntao screamed crazily in her heart, wishing she could turn into a gust of wind and blow away without taking away any cloud of shame.

After admiring the little fool's embarrassment for a while, Ling Qingxuan felt that he had regained a victory, and finally showed mercy, "I won't tease you anymore. If you want to take the children to Rongcheng to play on Dragon Boat Festival, remember to come back early. Regardless of that Whatever you hear in the evening, just stay with Zhuangzi and nothing will happen to me. You have to have confidence in me, okay?"

Xia Chuntao looked into Ling Qingxuan's deep pool-like eyes and said, "Well, I believe you."

Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Xia Chuntao distributed benefits to all workshop employees and the family who manages the orchard: each person has six kilograms of pork, five kilograms of glutinous rice, two kilograms of red dates, and two kilograms of red beans.
