Ruizhou Mansion is neither big nor small. If we want to talk about building roads, Ruizhou City alone will take a year and a half to build.
This guy is a fat guy, no different from the guy who built the wharf.
The eldest son of the Du family was already worried about building the wharf, but now it was revealed that Magistrate Chen had taken over the construction of the road, and he couldn't help but be in chaos.
He also recalled that Magistrate Chen had been going to Prince Rui's Mansion almost every day these days, and he might have been tricked by Xiao Ci into going there, so he couldn't help but become even more anxious.
If once Magistrate Chen turns to Xiao Ci, the spineless young master of the Zhou family will inevitably follow him. By then, no matter how rich the Du family is, they will not be able to stand still.
As expected, the worries of the eldest son of the Du family were not false. As soon as the news came out that Magistrate Chen had received the errand of building a road, Mr. Zhou went to find the Chen family that day.
The left sentence is about in-laws, and the right sentence is about in-laws. What they say is that building roads is a good job. What I didn’t say directly is: my in-laws, you are so prosperous, so don’t forget to support our Zhou family.
Magistrate Chen was mute and couldn't tell how hard it was to eat Huang Lian, so he held back his temper and didn't kick Mr. Zhou out. He had to accompany Mr. Zhou for a few words and send him out in a good voice.
The road construction job was indeed a lucrative job, but no one was like Xiao Ci, who used IOUs to pay off the debt.
The IOU was written in black and white, and had Magistrate Chen's name signed on it. He couldn't refuse it even if he wanted to. What's more, without getting the IOU, Xiao Ci also grabbed a lot of handles left by Magistrate Chen in the past year, one after another.
There was no way he could refuse them one by one.
After all, if you lose the black gauze hat on your head, you will lose it, but if you lose your life, then it will be useless no matter how much money you have.
Magistrate Chen suffered such a big loss, so naturally he felt uncomfortable. He sent Master Zhou away and then went to the Du family.
No matter how cunning and scheming the young man of the Du family is, given his age, he is so messed up that he naturally becomes dubious about what Magistrate Chen said.
Once you have doubts, there is nothing you can't overcome.
Since then, Xiao Ci has been pushed back a few times, and the gap between the Du family and the Chen family has become thicker and thicker.
Once there is a conflict between the Du family and the Chen family, the Zhou family will be nothing.
From entering Ruizhou in July to the twelfth lunar month, the four major families in Ruizhou have been punished one by one by Xiao Ci. Although they are still the four major families in Ruizhou, they have become much more honest.
They are not stupid. Since they can't defeat this new god in Ruizhou, they can only offer sacrifices to him.
Although Ruizhou belongs to the south, in winter, the dampness and coldness are no worse than those in Kyoto.
Song Qinghuan was afraid of the cold, so he stayed in the burned-out house without going out every day.
Forgetting that she was afraid of the cold, she was also afraid that Xiao Jingchuan was as afraid of the cold as Xiao Jingtong, so she told the little maids not to let the earth dragon be extinguished at all times, and from time to time she would have people put more carbon basins in the house.
The two children felt so hot that they couldn't breathe when they stayed in the house. The earth dragon got so hot that they had to ask the doctor to give them a prescription to clear away the heat.
Knowing that Song Qinghuan also had good intentions, Xiao Jingchuan didn't say anything even if he had to take bitter medicine.
Xiao Jingtong couldn't hold it back. He pestered Xiao Ci and complained: "I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. I don't know whether it's cold or hot. There are earth dragons and charcoal burning in the house. I don't even have summer clothes."
I can't even wear them anymore, so I want to go outside for some fresh air, but Chunlan and Qiulan are the only ones who seem to be chanting sutras like monks, which is annoying..."
Xiao Ci picked up his daughter and laughed and said, "There is a kind of coldness that your mother thinks you are cold to."
As soon as he turned around, he told Song Qinghuan what Xiao Jingtong had complained about, and laughed at her: "You know how to add carbon basins to the two children's houses, why don't you add more to your own house?"
If Xiao Ci said these words on a normal day, Song Qinghuan would definitely talk back to him, but today he was not in the mood. He leaned on the couch and said, "I understand, I will pay attention to it next time."
."
Xiao Ci could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her, so he put aside what he was doing and asked her, "What's wrong? You look listless. Is there anything wrong?"
Song Qinghuan raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ci. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
He lowered his eyes and said, "It's nothing. Maybe the earth dragon has been burning for a long time, and people have also added to the anger."
It was true that she was aggravated, but she knew whether it was caused by the earth dragon or someone else.
It has been five months since I left Kyoto and settled in Ruizhou. I got a letter from Liaodong this morning. I was still happy at first, thinking that Song Youyu finally remembered her cheap sister.
.
But as soon as the letter was opened, those good moods disappeared again.
Song Youyu wrote a thick letter, writing a lot of useless nonsense, and finally said something very important.
He didn't say it clearly, he just said that he met a girl in Liaodong, fell in love with her, and wanted to marry her. However, the girl's family background was not good, so he came to discuss the idea with Song Qinghuan.
The letter was subtle and secretive, and did not mention who the girl was at all, but Song Qinghuan remembered for no reason that what he said in the letter was that Xu was Princess Rouzhen who faked her death and fled to Liaodong.
Song Qinghuan has never considered family status to be important. She will definitely support any girl Song Youyu likes. Even if the Song family doesn't like her, she will think that Song Youyu just likes her.
But if this person happens to be Xiao Rouzhen, then it won't work.
Xiao Rouzhen had a special status. It would be fine if she lived an ordinary life in Liaodong anonymously. But Song Youyu would have to return to Beijing sooner or later. When the time came, he couldn't leave Xiao Rouzhen in Liaodong.
But if you don't stay in Liaodong, once you enter Beijing and be seen by someone who is interested, I am afraid that neither Xiao Rouzhen nor the Song family will end well.
Song Qinghuan had a headache. Since Song Youyu wrote this to him, he must have believed her. If she rejected the matter outright, she told him not to have these thoughts and to break up the couple, she couldn't do it.
.
But if we don’t fight with each other, who can afford it if something goes wrong in the future?
Song Qinghuan was also getting angry here, thinking about how to separate Song Youyu and Xiao Rouzhen without hurting them both.
Song Youyu, who was far away in Liaodong, lived a happy life.
It was very cold in Liaodong. Xiao Rouzhen had a special status and did not like to go out for leisure. Thinking of the cold weather, she went outside to find a piece of chinchilla skin to make a hood for Song Youyu.
Xiao Rouzhen had been raised well since she was a child, and she had done such things as female beauties in the palace, but at that time she only embroidered a few handkerchiefs.
The squirrel skin was much harder than the veil. Once the hood was made, ten fingers would prick it all over.
