After walking out of Matchmaker Liu's house, Xing Ruisi paid and went straight to Hu Jinquan's house.
In the yard, Carpenter Hu was pouring out the wood that had been harvested every year. When he saw Xing Rui walking in, he quickly put down the wood in his hand.
"Silly girl, do you want to make a cabinet?"
Xing Rui nodded, walked over, and took out the sketches he had drawn from his waist when he had nothing to do these days.
"This is the sketch I drew these days. Master Hu, please take a look."
Xing Rui said and handed over the sketch in his hand.
Hu Jinquan looked at a few pictures and held them in his hand with confusion, and looked at Xing Rui.
"Silly girl, are you sure this is what you want to do?"
"Why, Master Hu can't do it?"
Hu Jinquan is an honest man who talks little, but his craftsmanship is famous all over the country. He can't do it, right?
"Oh, I've never seen it before. Can you tell me about it?"
Xing Rui also had this intention, walked over, took the first sketch and said,
"This is a set of cabinets in the kitchen, oh, they are from other places. Master Hu has to measure the size himself and make it according to my drawings.
This is a two-story cabinet, with twenty rice bowls stacked on top.
The lower floor is higher because it is divided into four partitions.
As a bi-fold door, when one door is opened, it is a separate partition.
What is the height of each small partition?”
Xing Rui thought for a moment,
"Just stack it up to the height of ten rice bowls."
As Xing Rui spoke, Hu Jinquan was writing with an underlined pen and ink.
"This is a cabinet in the house. It's underground. I want you to build a row of cabinets against the wall about a foot away from the ceiling.
It is also a double door, and after opening it, a wooden scale must be placed inside..."
The cabinets in this era are all box cabinets. Xing Rui still likes to hang clothes so they look comfortable.
He also told Hu Jinquan specifically what was drawn on the other drawings, a dressing table.
On the fire bed, he also asked Master Hu to hit the wall and make a flying quilt.
In this way, the quilt can be folded and placed inside without disturbing the person sleeping underneath.
It's clean and neat, and it looks much better than just leaving the quilt on the kang.
Finally, I asked Master Hu to build a square table and a few wooden chairs, that's all for the time being.
Xing Rui also wants to build a floating cabinet on the wall of the stove to store some small ingredients, spoons and shovels used in cooking.
But she was afraid that she would say too much at once and Master Hu would not be able to remember it, so she would wait until the cooking was finished and he would remember what he was talking about.
After explaining clearly, Xing Rui said goodbye to Master Hu and wanted to visit her new house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the village, I saw a man walking from the opposite side with his face covered in blood.
The man looked at Xing Rui walking over and hurriedly covered his face, as if he was afraid of being seen and hid on the side of the road.
When he was about to slip over, he was stopped by Xing Rui.
"Zhao Xiaowu, why were you beaten?"
Xing Rui looked around and saw no attacker, but Zhao Xiaowu clearly looked like he was being beaten.
Xing Rui didn't ask if it was okay. When asked, Zhao Xiaowu became more energetic and didn't care whether the injury on his face looked good or not.
Xing Rui walked straight from the roadside and shouted angrily,
"Yes, I was beaten. You, the Xing family, still have to thank me for this."
Ah……
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xing Rui immediately understood that the person who beat him could not be someone else. Who else could it be besides Xu Deyun?
"If I hadn't gone around telling everyone, would Xu Dachun have married that wooden man from your Xing Erhe family?"
Seeing that Xing Rui was silent, Zhao Xiaowu thought that Xing Rui was afraid of him, so he shamelessly came up to him and said,
"Xing Erhe is your brother, and I, Zhao Xiaowu, played an indispensable role in his marriage to Xu Dachun.
Now you, the elder sister, are also rich. You are building a house and buying old scalpers.
Let's see, I also received this beating, so it can't be in vain, right?
If you give me two dollars, I, Zhao Xiaowu, will bear this beating for your Xing family."
"Ah……"
Xing Rui looked at this shameless scoundrel and began to blackmail him again.
Does he really think that he is still the stupid girl before?
"You're right, this beating wouldn't have been in vain if it weren't for you.
How can my second brother Xing Erhe marry a wife like Xu Dachun?"
Hearing what Xing Rui said, Zhao Xiaowu thought that his evil plan had succeeded, and he laughed even more wildly.
"Look, I've been beaten like this. I don't want more. Just give me ten taels of silver!"
Saying that, he really dared to reach out and ask for it.
"I think, ten taels of silver are already short, so I have to ask for twenty taels anyway. Look, how badly you are hurt!"
ha……
Zhao Xiaowu was so excited that he almost fainted.
"Okay, can you just give me twenty taels of silver?"
Xing Rui looked at his black hands like chicken claws, shook his head and said,
"You were beaten for the Xing family, so you should go to the old lady of the Xing family to ask for money."
"You are Xing Erhe's eldest sister, you deserve it."
"You are wrong. Xing Erhe is still the son of the old lady of the Xing family. I told you,
If you don't go and ask for it at this time, I'm afraid there won't be this store after passing this village."
Saying that, Xing Rui gave Zhao Xiaowu a subtle smile and left.
Zhao Xiaowu still stretched out his dark chicken claws and looked at Xing Rui's leaving figure in a daze.
Not wanting to see two people approaching, he turned around and ran away faster than a rabbit.
Xing Rui looked at the two Xu brothers walking towards each other and was shocked. Could it be that they were the two who beat Zhao Xiaowu?
"Silly girl."
Xu Dafeng lowered his head and looked like he was about to sneak over. Unexpectedly, Xu Erfeng called Xing Rui angrily and tried to come over.
Xu Dafeng went to catch him, but he threw him away.
"Let me tell you, your stupid brother wants to marry my sister, so let him just dream."
Xing Rui looked at the angry young boy and smiled, and asked,
"Did you two beat Zhao Xiaowu?"
"Yes, we fought, what happened?"
Xu Erfeng straightened his neck, looking both dissatisfied and dissatisfied.
"Well played,"
Unexpectedly, Xing Rui just said "Well done" and Xu Erfeng was confused.
"If you feel that your sister has been wronged by marrying Xing Erhe, then go find the old lady of the Xing family to reason with you!"
Xing Rui smiled and glanced at Xu Dachun, who kept his head lowered and dared not look over.
"Do you think we don't dare?"
Xu Erfeng thought Xing Rui was calling him, so he stiffened his neck even more.
"I'll go right away and see what that old vicious woman of yours can do to me?"
Xu Dafeng pulled his second brother's clothes and said softly,
"Er Feng, stop shouting, elder sister's affairs are beyond our control, let's go home.
I see that Zhao Xiaowu is running very fast, I’m afraid he went to the village to talk nonsense again.”
"Oh, yes, this bastard, I let him run away and talk nonsense everywhere.
If it weren't for him, how could my mother let my eldest sister marry that fool Xing Erhe?"
