But no matter what, the place for ethnic studies was quickly chosen.
Then Tang Shijin provided the money, He Lizheng went to the county government to apply for the deed, and the mud and tile team began to build it.
The old housekeeper over there found someone to calculate an auspicious day, and on the eighth day of July, the family moved to their new home.
The Shen Zhi couple, the Zheng family couple, a large group of scholars, and even County Magistrate Lin all sent gifts. Strangely enough, even Han Juren also sent gifts.
So Tang Shijin divided things up, inviting these people first on the first day, and then inviting the villagers later.
Yan Baiwei felt a little unhappy.
Because he has no reputation!
I finally built a yard, but I can't act as the host, I can only act like a guest!
So he suggested that he also become a sworn sworn disciple.
Tang Shijin agreed immediately, but Tao Chengqi firmly refused! So this was the only way.
At this time, the plaques have been hung up, and the writing has been done in the nave. The guests are Tao Chengqi and Tang Shilei, while Tang Shijin still only entertains female guests.
Hualang, on the other hand, washed himself clean, wore a light blue straight suit, and came over handsomely. He was only familiar with Tang Shijin, so he came directly to Tang Shijin's side. Anyway, he was not old, and she was here. I'm a woman, so I don't really care.
Madam Luo smiled and said: "Your place is really nice, with beautiful mountains and green waters. I would like to come and stay for a few days."
"You can come anytime you want," Tang Shijin said with a smile: "But, you just got married and you have to go back to your parents' house? Why don't you wait until you have a child and move you here to live for a longer period of time."
Madam Luo spat at her: "You little bastard, you are good at everything, you are just annoying with your crazy talk!"
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Jin'er is your serious natal brother. It was Jin'er who carried out the marriage. What you say is true. How could you be so crazy?"
Madam Luo also laughed: "To be honest, I asked her to carry it with fear. She was afraid that she would fall and even forget to cry."
Mrs. Zheng covered her mouth and smiled.
In front of others, he didn't make fun of her. He smiled and said to Tang Shijin, "I'm checking the accounts here. When I get some time, let's settle the accounts."
"Well," Mrs. Luo also said, "I'm also doing the verification here. I've been very busy recently, and I'm afraid I won't have to do the verification until the end of July."
Tang Shijin said: "I'm not in a hurry."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Of course she is not in a hurry. Her tea shop and the group of scholars almost robbed it directly. I don't know how much money they made."
"By the way," Tang Shijin said, "Speaking of which, I was just looking for you. I want to sell some refreshments on the second floor of my teahouse. Do you want to call someone over?"
"Okay!" Mrs. Zheng said immediately: "I will pick two good dim sum chefs for you. You can sell them for two days and see. We will discuss the splitting of accounts later."
Tang Shijin responded and said, "You can ask them to come over tomorrow and just tell them what I said."
Mrs. Zheng agreed.
Then she suddenly remembered and said: "I still have something to ask you about... I am in charge of the affairs, and there is a young lady. The old couple only has this girl. She can read and write and can settle accounts. Originally, they were engaged to be married. , just because our head of the family arrived in Wutong County, the manager had to follow him. After much thought, he couldn't bear to be separated from his wife, so he brought him over. As a result, the other party couldn't wait any longer and handed over the divorce certificate."
She sighed: "I've seen this girl before. She's really good-looking and has a good temper. She's just a little older. She's eighteen this year. Are any of the people you have suitable for her?"
Tang Shijin raised his eyebrows: "Are you interested in He Shiba or Lantern Festival?"
Mrs. Zheng laughed out loud: "I really can't hide anything from you... I have fallen in love with He Shiba. I heard from Peng Xiao that he is a good boy and has a good family tradition. I heard that we have been seeing each other for a long time recently. I will tell you
To be honest, I am really watching you, otherwise this would be considered a woman marrying low."
Tang Shijin thought for a while.
He Shiba is also counting twenty this year. It is indeed better for him to find a wife who can read and write and can settle accounts than to find an illiterate wife. Then he can leave the seasoning field to them alone.
But in this way, the connection with the Zheng family became deeper.
But think about it again, you already have Yang Pengxiao, why are you still afraid of a little girl?
He smiled and said, "I think it works. Can you tell me more about it?"
Mrs. Zheng chatted with her carefully.
Over there, Tao Chengqi and Tang Shilei welcomed people in.
Tang Shilei was young and had never experienced such a situation. He only followed others to follow suit.
Tao Chengqi and Han Liuguang hit it off and chatted very well, but County Magistrate Lin was very unpopular. The people who often hung out with Tao Chengqi were second-generation people, and they were not polite to him at all.
Magistrate Lin is a coward, and he doesn't dare to put on official airs, so he licks his face and talks to everyone.
When scholars gather together, they generally praise the calligraphy on the door and the momentum of the writing in the middle hall. Although they feel that "the only way to relieve worries is to get rich" is a bit off, of course no one says it out loud. They only praise the true character.
They are both very polite people, and they don't know each other that well. Of course, it's impossible for me to visit your garden. Instead, I went to Tao Chengqi's garden to sit for a while.
The calligraphy on the door is green and correct. Everyone heard that it was written by Tang Shilei, who only studied it for half a year, and they all praised it a few times.
Everyone has heard that they are god-brothers and sisters, but they have never thought that Tao Chengqi lives in the main courtyard. This is the head of the family! They are really just like biological brothers and sisters.
The courtyard of Taochengqi was carefully built by Yan Baiwei, the furniture was carefully selected by him, and the old housekeeper carefully decorated it. Naturally, everything was very elegant. Even when tea was served, it shocked people.
How can I put it, it's like in modern times, when you go to someone's house as a guest, they directly hand you a hot water bottle and let you dry your mouth.
The self-pour pots used by ordinary people only fit in the palm of the hand, and are by no means that big.
Han Liuguang smiled and said, "This cup is so generous!"
Another person also joked: "I see that your girl sells tea, so she doesn't skimp on the tea!"
Tao Chengqi said with a smile: "What I brew at home is a delicacy that is not available for takeout. If you drink it, just laugh at it!"
As he spoke, he looked at the cup again: "My sister painted this and baked it by herself. They are like this in every courtyard. I want to change it, but you will change it for me. She said that I will definitely like it after a month. Please ask me to change it."
I won’t even change it…I’m just counting the days to wait!”
Everyone laughed in amusement.
Then County Magistrate Lin said carefully: "Miss Tang is an interesting character."
"Yes!" Tao Chengqi said: "She said, what's wrong with a big belly cup? A big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world. There are too many injustices in the world. If you can't understand this truth, you are asking for it.
I’m troubled.”
Magistrate Lin blushed at that time and was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
Everyone understood and laughed secretly, lowering their heads to drink tea.
To be honest, although this cup looks inappropriate, when the tea is so delicious, it is really enjoyable. I can drink it no matter how much I drink, and I will not be rude if I finish the cup.
