Early the next morning, before dawn, Old Ginger Head left.
I walked to Yuntang Town and ordered a bowl of noodles on the roadside.
I plan to find an ox cart soon.
While eating noodles, I heard someone talking next to me.
"Have you heard? The marriage of Su Yu'an, the eldest son of the second wife of the Su family, has been revealed again!"
"Blow again?"
"What number is this?"
"The third one this month! This girl is the daughter of a wealthy family in Chang Ning Mansion!"
"The Su family is not weak either!"
"Not because of this!"
"What's that for?"
The man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he whispered: "I don't know! I heard that the horoscopes are incompatible!"
"Why don't the characters match up!"
"The second eldest son of the Su family is too tough! Think about it, who would be willing to marry a pretty girl!"
"Oh! I have seen the young master you are talking about. Yushu Linfeng has such good looks. How can he be so handsome!"
"Who says otherwise? This man has a strong character and is not easy to get married! He can't hold down a girl with an average character!"
"That's right!"
"What a pity! I have seen the eldest son of the second wife of the Su family. Not to mention his good looks, I heard he is also good at reading. If any girl is lucky enough to marry him, it would be an official wife! Let's go.
Let’s go, there’s a lot going on today!”
"Don't be anxious, just wait for me! Why be anxious? Let's chat for a while!"
"If that doesn't work, our manager asked us to go to Dalingzi Village."
"What to do in Dalingzi Village?"
"I don't know. I heard that the Jiang family in Dalingzi Village has built a greenhouse. They can grow fresh vegetables in winter. The manager of the restaurant has already arranged the vegetables. If they can really grow vegetables in the winter,
We can eat fresh vegetables. Other people’s restaurants have them, but we don’t have them. How will we do business then? Today, our master’s family will also order vegetables! It doesn’t matter whether the Jiang family can grow them, we will order them first, in case someone else
It’s really grown!”
Lao Jiangtou was eating noodles very quickly.
I didn’t stop after eating and went directly to East Street.
There is an ox cart over there.
Wait until Old Jiangtou leaves.
The two people who spoke looked at each other.
One of them smiled and said: "Let's go, I'm treating you today, let's go to the Flower House to listen to music!"
"Is there enough money?"
"Of course! The Su family is not short of this little money!"
"Aren't you going to Dalingzi Village?"
"Went there yesterday!"
…………
Xuan Yu assigned work to Yang Muxian.
Before Jiang Xiaohua left, she gave Xuanyu a construction drawing.
This is the construction drawing of the fire wall.
Around the house, of course not the yard, but outside the house where people live, build a fire wall about half a person high, and finally connect it to the stove.
In winter, if you put firewood inside, the house will be warm.
This is a little worse than floor heating, but it is doable.
Jiang Xiaohua said to Xuan Yu when she left.
Let the construction drawings sit for two or three days before taking them out.
If anyone asks, tell them that the builders who built the house figured it out together.
For the villagers in Dalingzi Village, as long as they work in the Jiang family, they can add fire walls to their homes. They only charge the cost of the bricks, and the Jiang family pays for the craftsmen's wages.
This is a great thing!
Every household in Dalingzi Village has this fire wall.
When the Jiang family heard this, Old Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything. Privately, Mrs. Zhao complained to her family, saying that her family's flowers really cost money.
Mrs. Zhao's own mother, Mrs. Wang, glanced at her troubled daughter: "You, you just say a few words here to complain! After you go back, you are not allowed to talk nonsense. This flower is like this
If you know how to spend money, you can also make money! How many times have I told you that if your mother-in-law doesn't say anything about money, just don't say anything! She doesn't have a long memory!"
Mrs. Zhao pouted: "Mom, I'm just telling you!"
"It's not enough to talk about it, and you don't even look at it yourself. In the eyes of the villagers, your flowers are like fairies descending to earth! If you tell outsiders what you say, they will spit on you and drown you immediately!"
Mrs. Zhao whispered: "Huan Xiannu is just a monster that appears out of nowhere!"
"If not, then go back quickly and run to your mother's house all day, what's going on!"
"Mom, look at you, don't I miss you?"
"What's there to think about! If you go to work in the workshop, my mother and I can be together."
"Mom, how old are you? Why are you going too? My second brother is doing a very good job in the town. Isn't the family short of your money?" Mrs. Zhao frowned.
"There is no shortage, but the workshop is very lively. Everyone is together, chatting and laughing, and earning money. Why not! And after one month, I tell you, this amount!"
"One tael of silver?"
Mrs. Wang nodded: "One tael of silver is the basic salary, and there is also a bonus! Listen to the manager, the more you work, the more you earn! Bonuses are also linked to attendance. The more attendance, the higher the bonus! Don't you know?
The Wang family has a large family. They don’t make any wine now, and they all work in the Jiang family’s workshop. After one month, tsk! It’s more than ten taels of silver! In the past, one tael of silver was enough for the whole family.
Chewing it for more than half a year! That’s a lot!”
Mrs. Zhao didn't know what was going on in the workshop, so she originally agreed to work in the workshop with Mrs. Liu.
After working for less than half a day, I was so tired that I didn’t want to move.
Isn’t this just three days of fishing and two days of drying nets?
I don't know how much the wages are.
No, I have to go back and ask the steward named Xuan Yu.
Mrs. Zhao always felt that what her mother-in-law said was very suspenseful.
My mother-in-law didn't even think about it, but the steward named Xuanyu was left by a noble family member.
People are really capable and don't listen to flowers.
Once the flower is married.
What about this steward?
Will he stay at Jiang Paper?
No way!
…………
Jiang Xiaohua and her party arrived at Ganquan Mansion.
We were about to enter the city.
Jiang Xiaohua opened the curtain and looked at the crowd of people waiting in line to enter the city: "Tsk! There must be too many people here!"
Jiang Hongzhi also came over, looked outside a few times, and frowned slightly: "So many people fleeing!"
"Escapees? Brother, who are the refugees?" Jiang Xiaohua saw a large group of people, but she really didn't notice the refugees.
Jiang Hongzhi pointed to a group of people not far away. There were about twenty or thirty people. All of them had sallow complexions and tattered clothes. Everyone was carrying more or less baggage. Among these people were old people, children, men and women.
All.
It really is!
Jiang Xiaohua looked over carefully and found that there were many such people.
Then I heard a noise from the city gate.
"No! You can't come in!"
"Why can't we enter! We came all the way here, why can't we enter the city?"
"If it doesn't work, it won't work! There are orders from above, and we will obey them! Okay, don't block the city gate!"
"No! We are about to go in, and the Beiyi Army is about to attack. You soldiers don't care about the life and death of our people! If you don't let us enter the city, do you want us to die outside the city?"
"Don't worry, the Beiyi people can't defeat us!"
"You said you can't fight, so you can't fight! We escaped from Nanzhou County! The Beiyi people destroyed Yanmen County and massacred Pingyao City!"
