Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Li Jidao: "Er Gouzi's servants stopped me before, but if I meet him next time, I won't be able to refuse. You all know that I am a thin-skinned person. This matter cannot be tolerated, and there must be something Get ready. Erying, you have a better relationship in the village, go out more when you have nothing to do, and help me spread the word."

Erying nodded: "Fourth Uncle, tell me."

Li Jidao: "When you are free, just go to the village and spread the word. Just say that Da Heizi intends to let me, an orphan, support her family."

Erying was slightly stunned.Seriously, Zhahua is a bit vicious.A good man can't even support his own mother and children?How useless is this man?

Regardless of whether these words are justified or not, just such a sentence is enough to make a man feel ashamed.

"Are you sure? The big blackie just lost his wife. He is indeed a poor man. If we spread the news at this time, wouldn't it add fuel to the flames?"

Erying's words are very pertinent, and she is not blindly helping her relatives, she can speak a few words.

"Of course I know what it means. But think about it, isn't that big black lady coming to me because she is pity for her dead daughter-in-law and forcing me to pay for money?"

Li Ji's words made Erying a little silent.Indeed, the family is pitiful, but Li Ji is also innocent, and he is still an orphan with no support.In comparison, Li Ji seems to be more pitiful.

Of course, this pity is only on the relatives, Li Ji has a lot of money in his pocket.

Li Ji said again: "We are not people who don't give people a way to live. When Dahei's wife died, I paid a penny and gave ten catties of rice to the child. Originally, I was not close to Daheizi's family. It’s because of the child’s face that I’m going to go away. It’s too little, so I’ll come to the door to show my pity.”

Li Jintan echoed, "Look around all over the village, you can only count how many things you have sent over, Fourth Uncle, why are you still not satisfied?"

Li Ji nodded: "To tell you the truth. If it's someone else's family, it's not difficult for me to pay a few thousand silver to help them. Even if I hire them to work in my house, I can give him two or three silver coins a month, which is enough to support their family. It's just that I really don't have a good impression of their family. I went there when the daughter-in-law was gone. The body was still cold, and Da Heizi didn't even look at it for the last time, because he felt bad luck and was afraid of bad luck in the future. The daughter-in-law who has three children refuses to see her. Not to mention the children, there are still six years of love between husband and wife. Whether it is bad luck or not, it is still nothing. Just because of such a sentence, I just stood there in the yard. , such a person, I really can't think of getting close."

When a person dies, people of the same generation seldom go to see it. Except for the closest relatives, those from the same family basically go to stand for a while and then come back.

Hearing this, Erying's reaction was obviously stronger than that of Li Jin, and spat: "I think he is just an animal, and I don't even think about whose breed that child is! The big black daughter-in-law or whoever mentions her doesn't say a word." Okay? It just happened to be such a thing!"

Erying cursed.Then he said: "Fourth Uncle, don't worry, this matter is on me. The big black lady will be fine in the future, if he dares to bully him again, I don't think he will dare to go out to meet people in the future!"

Erying was originally a pungent person, but when she heard about the death of Dahei's daughter-in-law and was officially angry, she didn't intend to let them do it without Li Ji's persuasion.

"It's just that those three children are pitiful. They lost their mother at such a young age, and their father and grandma are like this." Li Ji sighed like this. It would be impossible for him to take those three children over to raise them.

There are many poor people in the world, and there are also many people who have been ruined by those around them.If it is true that one by one is pitiful, Li Ji's life will not be over.

After such an arrangement, Li Ji went home.On the way, I met the second shovel girl.Li Ji didn't speak, Er Chanzi Niang walked away quickly.Li Ji blinked, but Yuxie was surprised that she didn't come to find fault.

It's no wonder Er Chan Zi Niang is such an arrogant person avoiding Li Ji.This has hit a wall on Li Ji's head one after another, and now Li Ji has climbed into a big family in the city, so it can be said that he is in full swing.Will there still be unsightly provocations?

In fact, there are some ugly words behind the scenes in the village.What is it that Li Ji thinks he has climbed a high branch, but in the eyes of a big family, he is not even as good as a dog.If people really remembered his kindness, why not let him stay in the city to enjoy the blessings?Still come back to live by raising livestock?

That said, most of them are sour.When we meet again, the person who speaks bad things behind his back will be more enthusiastic towards Li Ji.

The magistrate of the county spent a lot of money and helped the army and the yamen buy a lot of things in a short period of time.This county is a small county with horns and glarleys, and there are not many good things.So most of them have to go to other places to buy and ship back.

It is very difficult for such a big movement not to be noticed, but except for the magistrate, everyone else is watching.The magistrates of other counties heard about the massive purchase of supplies here, and some even made fun of them.

I feel that the magistrate of the county is worrying unfoundedly and unrealistically.After all, Great Xia is a vast country with a vast territory, a large population, and millions of soldiers. How could it be threatened by a small rebel army?

So instead of causing riots, they prepared as much as the county magistrate wanted, and at the same time increased the tax for merchants.While the merchants got rich, a lot of money came out of the private treasuries of the county governments in those counties.

The 2000 taels that I took out at the beginning were not enough to spend like water, but as the money was withdrawn one after another in the later stage, I spent a small 1 taels of silver in just half a month.

It's also thanks to the county magistrate who came down from the capital and used to be a high-ranking official in the capital.When the limelight is in full swing, the annual charcoal and ice tributes are frighteningly high.The county magistrate brought over all the accumulated silver.If the profound family background is really revealed, the wealthy businessmen in the county will probably be shocked.

The county magistrate looked at the blueprint, which was a sketch given to build a house in the mountains.

There are several pictures in a row, one is the general setting of the yard, one is the display inside the house, and the other is the underground part.

Digging in the mountains is more difficult.But it is much more convenient to store things underground than on the ground.And if there is a real situation, hiding in an underground room is also a good choice.

In addition, there must be an ice cellar, otherwise even in the mountains, there will be unbearable heat in summer.And the ice cellar can store things that are not durable.Enjoying the convenience brought by the ice cellar all year round, the county magistrate will not forget it for his son.

In fact, looking at the drawings, this layout is very simple, that is, it is very simple to use for living in the mountains. At least for people like the county magistrate who are used to seeing good things, seeing this drawing, they will feel that it is very simple to build.

It's just that if it is in the mountains, it is still very troublesome to build the things on this blueprint in a short time.What's more, the county magistrate Xiangya learned from the cunning rabbit and three caves, and made two or three.

"Let's surround the place where the animals are kept. It doesn't have to be the same as building a house. Don't worry about silver, just nail the iron spikes into the bamboo and build a taller fence. It's better to study and study at the top, so that it's convenient for her Cover it. It’s convenient to keep it this way, and you won’t be afraid of wild animals on the mountain getting in.”

The county magistrate put forward his thoughts to the man standing below.

"I'll do some research." After receiving the order, the man was sure that the magistrate had nothing else to say, so he left and continued to draw sketches.

The magistrate looked at the sketch in a daze, and he was already thinking about his son.His son is so good at eating meat. If the meat eater really lives in the mountains one day, can he still go out hunting every day?Therefore, the places where livestock are raised must be opened.Even if you can't eat it and waste it, you can't make Er Gouzi not enough to eat.

Last time the county magistrate sent too many things.For half a month, Li Ji's house was full of delicious food in different ways.Not to mention Er Gouzi, even Li Ji has gained weight twice, and this is still when he works a lot during the day.If you lie down there every day for pure enjoyment, I'm afraid there will be more besides.

Dog days out, the weather is still hot panic.The progress of the new livestock pen is very fast, the frame is basically built, and the beams are only waiting to be dried, and then the parts inside are perfected one by one, and the construction is completed.The warehouse side is simpler, that is, the small door, where a wooden door with a lock is made on the surface and put on it.

In fact, there is still a place for the door inside, just waiting for the next time I go to the city and spend a lot of money to cast a strong iron door.And in the warehouse, when no one is around, a compartment will be built, and it will be used alone to store the things given by the county magistrate in the future, without anyone noticing.

Wing rooms in the courtyard are slower.Most of the hired people have gone to build the cattle pen, so there are only four or five people here, and the progress will naturally not increase.

Li Qiaoer has been coming to help recently, but she can't do big jobs, but she can do things like move bricks and send water.

Half a year has passed this year, and in the coming year, Li Qiaoer will be nineteen.

Li Ji is not a marriage urge, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with his daughter not getting married.It's just that if Li Qiaoer has plans to marry, at this age, it is really difficult to find someone.

Li Ji wanted to ask Li Shuisheng about it.Li Shuisheng was also eager to find him, but Li Qiaoer was always lacking in interest.Because of the previous lessons, Li Shuisheng didn't have the face to put up the airs of being a father and order Li Qiaoer to marry someone, so he could only contact the matchmaker in person, listen to more news about unmarried men, and talk to Li Qiaoer more.

When the sun is hot, working outside is the easiest way to get tanned.Li Qiaoer's complexion was much darker when she was raised in winter, and she was not as beautiful as in winter.But even so, with other girls in the village, she must be the kind of good-looking.

Li Ji wanted to ask a few times, but she felt that she was meddling.In the end, I just didn't ask.Li Qiaoer came to help, and Li Ji gave her wages.Look at her daily expenses.Even if you really don't want to marry in the future, it's the same to save more money to live on your own.

Everyone has their own way of life, why worry so much.

After figuring it out, Li Ji no longer cares about it.

Another half a month is enough time.New stables and new warehouses were completed.After the completion, Li Ji entertained the villagers and ate the flowing water mat, killed a few more chickens, and used a lot of eggs. After the meal, the things that came with the gift were not worth as much as the food on the table.It was also because of the good food that basically everyone from the village came here except those who had a festive relationship with Li Ji.

And the attic in the yard will take some more time.Because of the completion of the livestock pen, there are a few more good bricklayers that can be hired in the village, and the progress has become faster.

It has been more than a month before and after.Li Ji saw that the frame was basically completed, and the beams were also built. The only thing left was to properly equip the interior.

It's time to go to the city to buy something, and it's time to go to the city with Er Gouzi to see the county magistrate.

After returning to the village, there were a lot of things to do, and it was time-consuming and laborious to build a new livestock pen. No wonder Li Ji couldn't think of going back.

Clean the wing room a little, and remember everything you need.Li Ji and Er Gouzi left Ge Er and Ting Lan to watch the house, and drove the ox cart to the county together.

I went to the place next to the county and didn't go, so I went straight to the county grandpa's mansion.

Before leaving, we agreed on a place.There is a ruined temple two or three miles outside the County Taiye Mansion, and there is a tunnel behind the Buddha statue in the ruined temple.Getting in can directly enter the county grandpa's mansion.

Li Ji could understand that the big family had no sense of security, and if something happened, this tunnel would be the way to escape.

It's just that Li Ji is also strange.Such a road is convenient to enter and exit.In case of accident, it is really easy to evacuate, but if this road is discovered by gangsters, and they can go in without anyone noticing, even if the county magistrate's mansion is heavily guarded, so what?

The two went all the way into the city and finally found the temple they had agreed on.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi moved the ox cart to the fence behind the temple and tied up the ox.Then enter the temple.The inside of the temple was so dirty that dust would fly up when Li Ji stepped on it.

Li Ji coughed twice, and he didn't understand why the hole here existed.Obviously not used for a long time.

However, the two of them entered the county grandpa's mansion from here, and they could indeed hide their eyes and ears from being discovered.

Li Ji dusted off the dust on the futon, and bowed to the Buddha statue.I don't know how long this temple has been abandoned.

After worshiping the Buddha, Li Ji took the two dogs to the back of the Buddha statue to look for the hole, but saw that the boards behind the Buddha statue were tightly stitched without any trace of authenticity.

Li Ji reached out and knocked. It was indeed empty, but where is the entrance?

Li Ji tried hard to recall what the county magistrate said at that time.

The tunnel is behind the Buddha statue.The back does not necessarily refer to the ground.

Li Ji looked at the position of the Buddha statue, and stretched out his hand to touch the back of the Buddha statue, to see that there was no problem.

Li Ji moved his hand towards the wall behind the Buddha statue, until he reached the bottom.

At the place where the wall meets the ground, Li Ji touched a button, poked it intentionally, and heard the sound of gears turning randomly.

In fact, Li Ji doesn't understand these things at all. It's a blind cat meeting a dead mouse to be able to do this.He was so frightened that he took two steps back, and immediately saw that the two boards on the place where he was just standing sank, and then separated.

Below is the ladder of the slate Pucheng.

Li Ji and Ergouzi looked at each other.They believed that the magistrate would not harm them.Go straight down the ladder into the tunnel.

The tunnel is two or three miles away from the county grandfather's mansion.

Li Ji lit the fire pocket that he carried with him, saw a candle on the wall, lit one, and walked forward with the candle.

It was only a quarter of an hour on Tuesday before I heard movement in front of me.

He and Er Gouzi speeded up and saw the light and voice in front of them.

Walking two steps forward, I heard someone shouting in front of me: "But uncle and fourth master Li?"

Li Ji hurriedly responded.Soon there were footsteps ahead.A servant came to meet him with a lantern.

"I've had a hard time on the road, come here with the little ones. Someone has already informed the master. I believe the master will come back soon."

There is another ladder in front of you. Go up the ladder and enter a Buddhist hall.

The county grandpa's mansion is too big. I haven't been here last time, and I don't know where it is.

Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief and finally came out.Although there are candles for lighting, the inside is empty and the space is small, which makes people feel suffocated.

But the inside of the tunnel is still clean, and when I came out of it, I didn't see any dirt on my body.

Following the servant out of the house, he turned left and right and returned to the yard where the two lived before.The yard is still clean, and flowers of various colors are blooming in abundance.

Arriving here again, Li Ji misses it very much, and the smile on his face is even brighter.The two can't live without their small family in the village, but that doesn't mean they don't like it.There is white rice at home, and a few words here are all kinds of delicacies.People cannot do without white rice, but delicacies from mountains and seas are available as much as possible.

The environment here is beautiful, and people feel comfortable.Skillfully entered the main room in the yard, sat down and rested for a while.

The waiters around are still familiar, and there are a few more faces.Li Ji looked familiar, and thought about it after a while.

At the beginning, the magistrate of the county recruited some new servants, and these were selected for the two of them.At that time, I was afraid that the service would not be good, so I was led and taught for a while.Later, when Li Ji and Er Gouzi returned to the village, these people had been educated, and there was no master to serve them.

Li Ji was a little thirsty, so he drank some tea first.The person who has been here once is less reserved this time, and he talked and laughed with Er Gouzi, waiting for the county magistrate to go back together.

The county magistrate has been busy with more things recently, because he has to prepare not only for the county government affairs, but also for the army.Because it is not yet certain whether the rebel army will be able to fight here, it is not possible to tell the people in the county for a while, so as not to cause panic.

In addition, the high-ranking officials begged the county magistrate to solve the trivial matters among the common people. Adding up all these ins and outs, it is really enough for the county magistrate to drink a pot.

While he was busy, he heard someone tell them that their sons were back, how could he sit still?After a simple arrangement, I hurried back home.

Move faster on the road, enter the mansion and go straight to the courtyard of the two.

Standing at the door, Li Ji's laughter could be heard. At that moment, the county magistrate felt at ease.

Entered the yard and went straight to the main room.

Li Ji and the county magistrate heard the movement outside and knew that it was the county magistrate who had returned.

Li Ji hurriedly pulled Er Gouzi to stand up, the county magistrate entered the room, and the six eyes met.

The magistrate's eyes fell on Er Gouzi's head. He looked carefully from top to bottom, and there was even a little moisture in his eyes.

"came back."

The two looked at each other and smiled.Er Gouzi responded, and Li Ji walked in with Er Gouzi: "I haven't seen you for a month, how are you doing, sir?"

The county magistrate reached out and patted Er Gouzi on the shoulder: "It hasn't changed at all, and it hasn't lost weight. How are you doing recently, tell me quickly."

The three of them walked to the chairs, the magistrate was sitting in the front seat, and Li Ji and Er Gouzi were sitting not far from him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Ji spoke sharply and told the county magistrate what happened recently.

There were a lot of things before and after, and the county magistrate listened with great interest.Sometimes I even chime in and say my own opinion.

Especially about the Dahei family.In fact, there is no law that can say that they are guilty, but their actions are indeed chilling enough.Facing this kind of person, all you can do is stay away, don't let him harm you.

A new livestock pen was built, and a small warehouse was built. I heard that the county magistrate said it was very satisfactory.

"We raise more rabbits. This month, seven or eight litters of cubs have been born, and twenty female rabbits have been brought in. Calculated, there will be two or three hundred more rabbits in less than a month. After that Two months, that's double the length. The rabbits have one litter a month, I believe it won't take long for the number to exceed a thousand, or even more."

Keeping these things is addictive, the more the more the merrier.Every time when feeding the rabbits, seeing so many fluffy rabbits eating there, Li Ji couldn't express how happy he was.

The county magistrate was even happier when he heard it: "Then raise as many as you have."

Li Jidao: "We also heard from Ge Er that our yamen and troops can eat a lot of meat and eggs. So I plan to raise more chickens and rabbits. Now I want to ask you for an accurate number. About how much I can collect, I have a bottom line in my heart."

The magistrate of the county said: "You only need to keep them. I'm afraid there are too few but not too many. In fact, the leather is also important. Unfortunately, I can't do as much as I want. I can't afford too many. In this way, each A hundred rabbit skins are required every month, and the price is the same as what you sell outside."

Li Ji was a little embarrassed to say this: "Actually, it was a bit expensive for me to sell to a leather goods store. It was probably because of your credit that I sold such a low price back then. That's why the owner of the fur goods store gave such a low price. We all It’s my family, if there is more or less, it’s my business behind closed doors, there’s no need to make a clear distinction.”

"If I want it myself, can I still ask you for money?" The county magistrate took a sip of tea, and then said: "Basically, the money for selling leather comes from the county government bank, which is the filial piety sent by those merchants. The silver should be yours, it has nothing to do with me."

Recently, the magistrate of the county even accepted the filial piety from his officials.If it weren't for the large amount of money needed to prepare for the yamen and the army, the county magistrate would never have accepted this.

It's just special treatment at special times. In case of war, buns worth two cents each are good things to save lives.As long as there is money that is mainly used to buy things, it doesn't matter how it comes from.

It can also be regarded as a good deed done by those officials who are not doing their jobs properly.

Even so, the magistrate also contributed a lot of his own money.

After the magistrate said so, Li Ji stopped being polite to him.

"When I came here, I wanted to bring some things, but I was afraid of being too ostentatious and noticed, so I didn't bring them here. I just wait for you to send someone over next time, and bring them back to you. In a few days, the mushrooms in the mountains will be gone." It's about to come out. Er Gouzi and I will go up to the mountain to pick some, and we will prepare your portion first. You and the inside have nothing missing, and what we can sell is mountain goods." Li Ji said.

Will the line pick up the things the two of them sent back?As long as the two of them come back, it will be a great thing for the county magistrate.

"If you don't tell me, I'd have forgotten. Don't you want to try the sour bamboo shoots? There are several jars pickled in the mansion. Two of them are the best. Two days after you go back, I will have someone deliver them to you. Today At night, I will try fried minced pork with sour bamboo shoots, I heard that the flavor is very good.”

Li Ji's favorite food is stir-fried minced meat with kimchi. The sour bamboo shoots are also a kind of grilled vegetables. Li Ji's saliva almost comes out when he mentions fried minced meat.

It was just a mention at the beginning, but the county magistrate would remember it like that.

"Please read it carefully." Li Ji felt warm in his heart and spoke softly.

"The fruit in the forest is also ripe. I intend to send it to you to try it out. I also remembered that the yard you live in is small, there are few supplies, and there is no place to put it. I was thinking that if someone sent it there every day, you came back. Fruit trees I planted a lot, but I didn’t eat a lot in the past two years. Except for the snacks for the servants, the rest was basically fed with mud. I didn’t like eating fruits in the past. It would be good if the three of us eat together .”

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he smiled and said, "What I said is a bit hypocritical. You left again. I still want to be alone."

What he said was so sad, Li Ji was not happy when he heard it.

After thinking for a while, Li Ji said: "If you have time, you can go to the village to have a look. This way, you can take a good look at how the people in the village live. This way, you can also experience Er Gouzi's all-time life. Life. We live outside the village, which is actually a little far away from the crowd. When you are in a bad mood, it used to be quiet and quiet, which was pretty good.”

Li Ji himself can't remember how many times he has invited the county magistrate. In fact, the county magistrate has long wanted to go, but God can give him time if he doesn't want to.

The county magistrate nodded and didn't say when he would go. He could only say that he agreed temporarily and we'll talk about it later.

The magistrate of the county talked about some recent things about himself. He didn't mention the rebel army, but only talked about trivial matters.

Basically, the county magistrate told Li Ji that Er Gouzi basically didn't speak.Even so, the family of three got along much more harmoniously than the last time they met.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi stayed in the county for two days this time, fearing that the village would suspect them, so they went back.

The ox carts were fed by people from the County Grandfather's Mansion in the past two days, so Li Ji and Er Gouzi didn't have to worry about that.

It was also when he was about to leave that Li Ji remembered to ask the honest question.

"I don't know how long that tunnel has been. It's just that the previous generation of county magistrates had it when they left office. Later, the servant told me the place and source. I only told you about the Buddha statue at that time, and I was too busy. I didn’t tell you the details. In fact, even if you can’t find the agency, someone will pick you up if you stand there for a while. The reason may not be clear to you. When you first entered the temple, the bell at the exit here will ring There are servants in the Buddhist temple for a long time, and they will go to pick you up when they hear the sound. If the bell keeps ringing, it means that someone in the tunnel keeps walking, and they just need our exit to wait for you to come."

Li Ji was slightly stunned. He had never seen anything in the world, and he hadn't even heard a few words of storytelling. How could he understand such uncanny things?

He can only listen to the music to be lively, say something good.

"No wonder. When I came here, I was still thinking that I wouldn't be afraid of outsiders invading and just come in from the tunnel without anyone noticing."

The county magistrate smiled and said, "Of course you are not afraid of this. You can come here because you know that you will come through the tunnel. Even so, the exit is well guarded. If they shout at you, you don't understand it here. , Those who come out of the tunnel will be held there. There are a few servants who know how to fight in the mansion, and ordinary gangsters can control them. Even a group of robbers can delay their stay. The main thing is to keep them escaped. "

Li Ji understood, Lianlian nodded.

The county magistrate passed through the tunnel and sent the two of them directly outside the tunnel.But no matter where it is sent, there will be a time to separate.

The county magistrate watched the two get into the bullock cart with burning eyes, but he had no choice.

Li Ji pulled Er Gouzi back and waved his hands, repeatedly saying that the two would come back when they were free.

Everyone lost their eyes, and the county magistrate was still watching for a while.

The county magistrate was slapped in the face by the magistrate.It made him very embarrassed.But it's one thing to show face first, and another to make the county magistrate afraid.

Obviously, the county magistrate was very annoyed at the fact that the county magistrate was smart enough to give Er Gouzi a gift, but now Er Gouzi went to send Li Yan back to his ancestral grave.If Er Gouzi is still there, the county magistrate can still find ways to please Er Gouzi, so that Er Gouzi can say more good things about him.

Now the county grandpa has been hanging out with the county magistrate for a full month. During this month, the subordinates and colleagues who used to be close to the magistrate have kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally.

If it continues, the county magistrate will be alone and helpless. I really wait for the day when the magistrate is unhappy and wants to deal with him. help yourself?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt palpitations, and I didn't dare to come to the door easily, for fear that the county magistrate would be upset looking at him.

In the end, the county magistrate couldn't think of any other way, so he could only put his hope on Zhao Ruyue.

Ever since Zhao Ruyue became a dignified concubine in the mansion, her net worth has risen, and she has become the most favored concubine in the mansion.

The other concubines in the mansion had to avoid her sharpness, and the concubine who was favored and arrogant had to put down her figure and be careful.

It just so happened that Zhao Ruyue had another relationship with the county magistrate. She was the niece of the county magistrate's wife's family in name. Even the county magistrate took him seriously when facing him.

Especially after the county magistrate was hanged out by the magistrate for a long time, the county magistrate placed his hope on Zhao Ruyue, and treated Zhao Ruyue even better.It can even be said that as long as the wife has a share of anything, Zhao Ruyue's is indispensable.

The servants in the mansion also regarded Zhao Ruyue as a common wife by default, and basically treated them as their wives.

Zhao Ruyue is not stupid, she felt that the county magistrate was very attentive to her, so she felt that there must be something wrong here.

Sure enough, Zhao Ruyue hadn't enjoyed the good life here for long, and the county magistrate told Zhao Ruyue all the worries in his heart.

What else could Zhao Ruyue do?The county magistrate's tone was discussing, but Zhao Ruyue had no right to refuse at all.If Zhao Ruyue really followed her mind at the time and withdrew, I am afraid that from now on, Zhao Ruyue would not be able to spend money in the mansion again.

But if he agreed, what should Zhao Ruyue do?

Others said that she climbed to the top of the wealth and flew to the branches.With the county magistrate as the backing, even the wives in the mansion have to avoid him.Only Zhao Ruyue knew that she was a relative of the county magistrate?I'm afraid the magistrate would not even see her once.

Back then, Zhao Ruyue thought she was smart and wanted to use Li Yan to set off her, but she never thought that Li Yan was the county magistrate's infatuated wife.

At that time, the county magistrate was willing to help Zhao Ruyue once, probably because he listened to Li Ji's words.But it's only this time, from now on... Zhao Ruyue has self-knowledge, knows how much she weighs.

It was because of this that Zhao Ruyue felt so bitter when the county magistrate came to her.What she enjoyed earlier was about to return it so soon.

But even if she knew that the county magistrate didn't want to see her, Zhao Ruyue could only bite the bullet and agree.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi went back to the village without anyone noticing, even most of the villagers didn't know they had left.

the reason is simple.The two lived outside the village, and it was normal for them not to visit the village for a long time.

As for those who came to the door, they were basically stopped by Ge Er and Ting Lan.When asked about Li Ji and Er Gouzi, he said that he had gone to the mountain to mow grass and hadn't returned yet.

When they came back three days later, it was as if the two of them had never left the village.

Before the two returned to the village, they went to the county to buy some soft and soft furniture, and when they got home, they unloaded all the things and simply arranged the newly built house.

In the past two days, I still need to call someone to come over and make some changes in the house, such as the kang.The heated kang is simple and can be found in every household.But it is also difficult to really get it right.

Kang is composed of Kang holes.But how to keep the heat longer, and how to get the smoke out faster so as not to choke people in the room, there are many ways here.

And the stove.A good stove is flammable and fuel-efficient, and can get the most heat with the least firewood.

For these, we still need to find veterans in the village.
