After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy
Chapter 64 Freezing Rain
To those who work seriously, time passes in the blink of an eye and several hours go by.
Baili Zheng had just finished talking about the two major events that happened in the court in the first half of the year when it was already dark.
"Okay, that's all for today.
Think carefully about the relationship between the people and things I talked about today."
As he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
It was also at this time that they realized that it was dark.
When Su Qiaoqiao saw that they had finished talking, she went in and lit the oil lamp, then said:
"Brother, Brother Zheng, sister is calling for dinner!"
Su Jinhong nodded, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he thought of what his elder sister had told him.
He seemed to have failed in his duty. He shouldn't have been so engrossed in talking to Brother Zheng that he forgot about building a kang at home in the afternoon.
Thinking of this, he quickly asked, "Qiaoqiao, how is the progress of the kang?"
"Not bad! There are many craftsmen in my house, and two kangs are working at the same time.
Now the location and size of the kang have been determined, and we have started to lay blue bricks around the kang and the chimney."
When Su Jinhong heard about using blue bricks, he was immediately shocked.
"Didn't my elder sister say that we should just build a brick bed?"
Su Qiaoqiao nodded honestly: "Yes, but why it turned into blue bricks, I don't understand.
Anyway, when those craftsmen came, they brought a lot of blue bricks.
That’s the one we’re using in the room right now.”
Baili Zheng on the side said directly: "I asked someone to buy it!
Now the weather is getting colder and the ground is already frozen. Your family doesn’t have strong laborers, so you can’t get those adobe bricks.”
Su Qiaoqiao, feeling sorry for the money, murmured, "When every household has free time, they will make some adobe bricks and put them there!
We can buy them or borrow them and return them after we have finished the work.
These bricks are so expensive, how much money would it cost to build two kangs?"
Baili Zheng said: "This is not about money!
Now the rain has reached Huarong County. I can tell you very clearly that it will rain here at the latest the day after tomorrow.
Right now, even Muyang Mansion is experiencing freezing rain.
You may not know this because you are not in the county town, but the government office of Lanxia County has been controlling the prices of winter clothes and food these days.
Now all these shops are closed and no longer sell to the public.
Do you two know what this means?"
Su Qiaoqiao didn’t know anything else, she only knew that she was extremely grateful.
Fortunately, her eldest sister had foresight and used all the money to buy food.
Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, you may not be able to buy food when the time comes.
Freezing rain. Although she didn't know what it looked like exactly, she knew it was not a good thing.
So Brother Zheng knew about this in advance, and out of consideration for his cousin, he was afraid that they would be too cold and something would happen, so he came to help them, right?
The more Su Qiaoqiao thought about it, the more confused her mind became. Finally, she felt that she was not suitable to think about these things, so she immediately changed the subject.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this and go out for dinner.
Anyway, Brother Zheng, thank you!"
Although I owe you fifty taels, I still want to thank you for stepping in and saving me from having to be that kind of girl.
Now I owe you money for these bricks. But with a heated kang, at least I don't have to worry about freezing to death...
Su Jinhong's thoughts were completely different from Su Qiaoqiao's. After hearing that even the city was experiencing freezing rain, his expression became more solemn than ever before.
"Qiaoqiao, is Sister Miaomiao still at our house?"
Su Qiaoqiao didn't know why he asked that, but nodded anyway.
"Yeah, here I am!
Our family is going to entertain those craftsmen in the evening, and my eldest sister cooked a lot of dishes.
Because Brother Songmu and Brother Jingzhe are coming to accompany us, and Brother Zheng and Brother Dahu are also coming, so three tables have to be set up.
Sister Miaomiao and Sister Taoya were worried that their eldest sister would be too busy and that there would be no vegetables at home, so they went home to catch chickens, and brought eggs and food to help. "
As she spoke, she couldn't help but slurp her saliva and said, "Brother, Brother Zheng, let's go over there quickly.
My eldest sister made a lot of delicious dishes, such as stir-fried pork kidney, pickled pepper pork liver, fried peanuts, stewed chicken with pork tripe, and steamed egg with minced meat.
You don’t know, when my elder sister was doing it, I was drooling just from smelling it.”
When Su Jinhong heard that Liu Miao and Liu Songmu were there, he breathed a sigh of relief and strode towards the hall.
When he saw Liu Songmu talking to a strange man, he shouted:
"Brother Songmu!"
When Liu Songmu heard the voice, he turned around and saw Su Jinhong, and a smile subconsciously appeared on his face.
"Jinhong is here? How is your hand? Is it feeling better?"
His face didn't look as ferocious as when he came back last time.
It was worthy of using the magic medicine that was said to cost more than one hundred taels of silver.
"Much better! Brother Songmu, I have something to tell you. Let's talk for a moment!"
Liu Songmu was confused, but he still nodded to the craftsman as a greeting and walked aside with him.
Su Jinhong did not lower his voice, but said seriously:
"Brother Songmu, I just heard from Brother Zheng that freezing rain has begun to fall in the city of Muyang Prefecture.
The rain has now reached Huarong County. If nothing unexpected happens, it will fall here within three days.
I want to talk to your father about this, but I'm not able to do so right now, so you have to go back and talk to him.
If the village chief doesn't believe it, you can ask him to come over and confirm with Brother Zheng.
I think you should have learned about Brother Zheng's identity from Sister Miaomiao, right?"
Liu Songmu, who was originally immersed in joy, felt as if someone had poured cold water on him. His brain, which was originally dizzy with happiness, suddenly became clear.
"Freezing rain?"
He couldn't help but raise his voice, and when he reacted, he quickly said:
"Jinhong, thank you. I'm going home first and will come back later."
If it really is freezing rain and it's going to fall here within three days, then he must tell his father and let his father make arrangements.
At least the villagers should be mentally prepared!
It can be said that the dishes served at Su Rongrong's house that evening were even more sumptuous than those served at weddings in other villages.
Apart from peanuts, all the other dishes are delicious, mainly because of her good cooking skills.
However, among the three tables, except for the craftsmen who were busy eating, the atmosphere at the rest of the tables was more or less heavy.
As the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, Baili Zheng has a different identity.
There were only four people at his table, including him, Su Rongrong and her brother, and the village chief Liu Quan.
It was also separated from the other two tables and placed alone in Su Jinhong's room.
As for Da Hu, he was arranged to entertain at the craftsmen's table.
Although Liu Quan was eager to know what was happening outside, he didn't dare to ask since Baili Zheng didn't put down his chopsticks.
After Baili Zheng finally finished his meal and put down his chopsticks, he hurriedly asked:
"Master Baili, my family's Songmu just came back and said that it's already freezing rain in the city?"
“Yeah, that happened a few days ago!
Now the roads, trees and roofs of the city are all frozen, and we can't go there anymore!"
