The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Wang Gui saw Lu Qingqing looking at the furniture and handed her the purse while explaining:

"A few days ago, I sold a painting and earned some money.

There is nothing at home, which is really inconvenient.

I saw someone selling ready-made furniture, so I just bought it.

By the way, please keep this money bag. This is the one hundred taels that Dazhuang lent you earlier."

Having said that, seeing that she didn't want to accept it, he added another sentence.

"You don't have to worry about us having no money to spend.

I know a little about calligraphy and painting, and I can support Dazhuang and I just by selling them.

Da Zhuang had been saying before that he wanted to pay you back when he made money.

If you don't accept the money, he'll be worried about it when he finds out."

Lu Qingqing thought about it and decided to accept the purse.

When Wang Gui saw that she accepted it, he looked a little relieved and took the lead to walk into the yard.

Under the shed, Bai Xing'er was looking around curiously.

She really didn't expect that a widower like Boss Lu could make his home so comfortable.

The layout of this house is much more comfortable than her home.

At this time, 'Boss Lu' was the first to walk out of the house, with a noble demeanor as he walked.

If Lu Tianming were here, he would definitely notice the difference.

No matter how casual Wang Gui was, the noble education he received since childhood was already engraved deep in his soul.

Bai Xing'er shook her head and shifted her gaze to Boss Lu's face.

Seeing that his face was still tanned and slightly wrinkled, he thought he was overthinking it.

At this time, Wang Gui walked into the thatched hut and sat down, saying:

"It's been so hot today that I see cracks on the ground and the corn is wilting.

Yesterday I went to ask Mr. Li at the foot of the mountain for advice, and found that he now not only waters the plants in the morning, but also in the evening.

The seedlings from his field do look better than those in ours.

I thought about starting watering tonight as well.

Daya, Miss Bai, do you two families want to live together?"

Lu Qingqing didn't expect Wang Gui to be so concerned about the crops that he even knew this. She nodded and said,

"Okay, then my family will water the fields together tonight. What time do you plan to go to the fields?"

Bai Xing'er beside her also nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll join you!"

Seeing that both of them were planning to water the plants together, Wang Gui reviewed the techniques that Old Li had mentioned earlier and instructed:

"What Old Li meant is that there are certain rules for watering.

When watering in the evening, it should be a little later.

Wait until the soil feels less hot before you start watering.

In this weather, the earliest time to water the plants in the evening is after 3:15 pm.

Also, don't water too much at one time, otherwise the roots will be suffocated.

By the way, Old Li said that this corn is particularly fat-producing.

Now I save all the feces at home..."

Wang Gui was very excited when talking about farming.

He told everything he had learned from Old Li.

As Lu Qingqing listened to Wang Gui's talk about farming, she admired him even more.

If you only look at his current appearance, how would you know that he is the noble son of the Wang family of Langya!

The three chatted for a while and agreed to water the plants together in the evening before Lu Qingqing and Bai Xing'er left.

After the two of them walked for a while, Bai Xing'er pointed behind her and asked doubtfully:

"Daya, when did your relationship with Boss Lu become better?"

Lu Qingqing just smiled and said:

"Now that Dazhuang lives with him, I can feel more at ease if they live a good life in the future."

After hearing this, Bai Xing'er thought that Lu Qingqing maintained a good relationship with Boss Lu just for Dazhuang, so she didn't ask any more questions.

When the two arrived at Zhuzi's house, Zhuzi's wife was cleaning the house.

When I heard the two of them talking about buying a loom, I agreed immediately.

Her family lived close to Lu Qingqing's, and she had seen many people from the mountain coming to sell silk.

When she found out how long it took to weave a piece of silk, she already had an idea.

Raising silkworms, reeling silk and weaving silk can earn her much more than she did from farming before.

She must save up a generous dowry for her daughter, Dani.

It’s just that the house was just built recently, and there are a lot of things waiting to be done, so I haven’t had time yet.

Now, seeing that the two of them came to ask, there was naturally no reason to refuse.

After Lu Qingqing and Bai Xing'er counted the number of people, they went to meet up with Widow Meng.

After the two sides communicated, they found that there were a total of eleven companies that wanted to buy looms.

Among them, eight are located at the foot of the mountain.

Widow Meng was initially shocked at how wealthy these people at the foot of the mountain were, but when she thought about how they had the money to build houses as soon as they settled there, she was no longer surprised.

Soon, her mind returned to the loom.

Thinking that she would soon have a loom of her own, Widow Meng showed a rare lively look.

Next to him, Xiao Sanbao saw his mother happy and sat there grinning foolishly.

The three of them agreed to go directly to Yining County to buy a loom the next day.

When Lu Qingqing returned home, Qin Lang was sitting under the shed on the west side of the yard picking lentils, and it seemed that he was preparing to cook dinner.

Seeing her come back, he pointed to the basin beside him and said:

"Daya, why is your face so red? Are you feeling hot?

I've got some water, wash up quickly and sit down to relax."

When Lu Qingqing heard him say that, she felt her face and neck were sticky and she quickly washed her hands and face.

As for the dirty water in the basin after washing, it was directly poured into the vegetable garden planned in the east.

A few days ago, before ordering furniture, Qin Lang planted vegetable seeds in the vegetable garden in this yard.

During the days I was away, Bai Xing'er came to help water the plants.

Now, sporadic small green sprouts have appeared in the vegetable garden.

Lu Qingqing sat on a small bench next to her, looking at the yard built according to her own plan.

In the yard, except for two vegetable plots and a small flower bed planned on the east side, the rest of the area is paved with bricks and stones.

It looks smooth and clean.

Although this brick and stone is not as good as cement, its cost is relatively low.

Moreover, the craftsmen who worked on it were very attentive and paved the entire yard with bricks and smooth stones, which gave it a unique feel.

The reason why Lu Qingqing was so persistent in paving the yard with bricks and stones was that the dirt yards these days would become bumpy and filled with rainwater as soon as it rained.

When walking, every step is filled with mud.
