It was midnight in June and it was still dark. Tang Shiyue had taken a bath and changed clothes, and was about to go to sleep when she heard someone knocking on the door outside, and the sound was very soft.
Tang Shiyue came over and opened the door, and saw Qi Jing standing outside. Apparently he had just taken a bath and put on the clothes she bought.
Tang Shiyue's eyes widened immediately!
Sleeveless shirts are definitely the boldest and most revealing clothing worn by ancient people!
In fact, when the weather is hot, many old men and young people wear this kind of clothes in the fields, but Qi Jing has never worn them.
Qi Jing's skin was not white, but an attractive honey color. He was always well-dressed, but when he first put on a sleeveless shirt with a white background and blue edges, it was just such a thin layer, revealing his healthy figure.
Big and beautiful arm muscles, and beautiful abdominal muscles can be vaguely seen under the clothes... The figure is really explosive! Good!
And it’s two degrees more tender than usual! This is truly small! Fresh! Meat! Wow!
He was obviously uncomfortable, his thick eyebrows were almost knotted, and he stood straight on the spot, as stiff as a piece of wood.
Facing her shining gaze, he quickly lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice: "I... I just walked through it for you to take a look at, and then went back to change. I'm not used to it."
She was very regretful and resisted the urge to pinch it, "It looks good and is cool, do you really not want to wear it?"
He said firmly: "I won't wear it."
"Okay then," seeing the lustful man in front of her, Tang Shiyue spontaneously felt a desire to monopolize "my things cannot be shown to others"... Well, in fact, it was an irrational desire to monopolize things that were clearly not hers...
…
So she turned back to the room and took out another one: "I know you have a lot of problems, Nuo, can this one be fine?"
He glanced at her and silently took the clothes. When he saw that it was an ordinary short shirt, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care about the color. He nodded and turned around as if running away.
…………
On the second day of praying, I actually put on that dress.
The clothes were light indigo, with silk trimmed with silver, and the belt was a slightly darker indigo. Tang Shiyue also specially asked for a scarf of the same color to tie up her hair.
Well, it's very pretty, very pretty. Except for the patch on the front... no, the flag, everything else is so pretty.
Clothes these days are made to be baggy, and he is thin, with a very thin waist and a very straight back. As soon as he puts his upper body on, his energy is revealed immediately.
Walking all the way through the village, the eyes of the young ladies were almost glued to him.
This led to the fact that when Li Zheng took them to measure the land, in addition to the villagers watching the excitement, there were also many women and young ladies who came to see Qi Xiaolang.
On the way, I first visited Qi Jing's house.
Because there are still households to the east, the space in the middle was only close to four acres of land, which was slightly long and narrow in shape and not very regular.
Li Zheng asked him if he wanted to move to another place, but Qi Jing refused, so he settled on this place and just counted three acres.
Then I went to measure the area selected by the wine shop, and measured out about four and a half acres of land, so I calculated it as four acres.
Homestead land was no more expensive than fertile farmland. One acre of land only cost six taels of silver, so when all was added up, it was only forty taels for both sides. After paying the money, the rest of the procedures were naturally handled by Youli Zheng at the government office.
As soon as Li Zheng and the clan leader left, everyone surrounded them with a roar and asked questions one after another.
After a while, everyone knew that Uncle Tang was going to build a big winery, and it would be called Fushou Winery.
The bosses are Qi Jing and Fourth Uncle Tang. The fourth uncle's name is Tang Xingye. Tang Yong, the eldest son of the Yuwai clan leader, and Chen Changyuan, the eldest son of Li Zheng, have joined the gang.
The country people don't like to avoid suspicion. In such a big matter, the clan leader and Li Zheng must get involved. But privately, they agreed that they don't have to pay for the money to join the gang, and they only get half of the interest in vain, which is equivalent to the cost of worry.
.
Someone said sourly: "The fourth child has made a fortune!"
"How much money does it cost to build such a big winery?"
Some people also joked, "Hurry up and tell me how you got into trouble with Qi Xiaolang!"
Qi Jing remained silent as always, but Fourth Uncle Tang was quite at ease in this situation. He smiled honestly and said, "It's all thanks to Ah Jing! We'll have to trouble everyone when we build the house later. We'll build it all with blue bricks this time.
Those who come here will be paid thirty cash a day and will be in charge of the food."
Everyone suddenly roared again.
Most of the man-made houses in the countryside use mud bricks, which are made into rectangular shapes and then dried in the sun to build house walls. These are rural adobe bricks. This kind of house lasts only a short time.
It needs to be repaired every two or three years.
There are also stone houses like the one Tang Shiyue lives in now. There are stones everywhere on the mountain. They use local materials, but it takes a lot of work.
This time, Fourth Uncle Tang plans to buy the fired green bricks directly from the town. A place like the winery mainly takes up land, and it is not troublesome to build it. There is not much work in the land at the moment, and a dozen or so people can build it in a few days.
It's covered.
As for Qi Jing's house, he hired specialized masons from the county to build it.
Everyone looked at Qi Xiaolang with even more intense eyes.
Originally, a foreigner like Qi Jing, who had no family or clan, was not a good match in the eyes of the villagers. However, since the golden Buddha statue was unearthed, the villagers' views have changed somewhat. After all, this is equivalent to a net worth of several hundred taels of silver.
Already.
Especially now, Qi Jing has to build a house.
He just built a house casually, and Qi Xiaolang had spare money! Hearing that even the recipe for wine belongs to him makes people jealous. Where can he find such a shining golden son-in-law?
So a bold little lady shyly asked, "Why did Qi Xiaolang choose this place to build his house?"
Qi Jing didn't squint or answer, but the young lady's face was a little stiff. Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and smoothed things over: "Ajing always values etiquette and rules, and doesn't talk much to young ladies."
Everyone laughed loudly, and then someone else said: "Qi Xiaolang, maybe he wants to get closer to the Tang family's young lady? Isn't that right, Qi Xiaolang?"
Qi Jing nodded: "I did move to be closer to A Yue, but this is just my idea. Thinking of A Yue's kindness, our brothers voluntarily moved closer to take care of her. It has nothing to do with A Yue, she
I don’t know either.”
The young ladies were immediately heartbroken and comforted themselves, thinking that perhaps Qi Xiaolang was just repaying his kindness and not out of any personal feelings.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou was suddenly seen running over in a hurry, shouting from afar: "Master! Master! Ah Jing!"
She was out of breath as she ran, and someone nearby had already helped her. Mrs. Zhou said anxiously: "Yue'er, Yue'er..."
Qi Jing's expression changed and he jumped over as fast as he could: "What's wrong with Ah Yue?"
Mrs. Zhou said anxiously: "Two people came just now. They said they were officers from the county government. They took Yue'er away without any explanation! I chased them and asked them, but they didn't tell me why!"
A messenger from the county government? Everyone was immediately stunned and looked at each other.
Qi Jing asked quickly: "Is it a carriage? Going to town?"
Madam Zhou nodded hurriedly, and he quickly chased over there.
As soon as he left the crowd, Qi Jing sped up and ran with all his strength, quickly catching up with the carriage. Then he tiptoed, jumped up slightly, jumped directly onto the carriage, and kicked open the door. (To be continued)
