"Then go to Yuzhuang and ask about how to repair the kang. Is there anyone in their Yuzhuang who specializes in this? If so, ask them to help repair the kang after spring."

Cheng Yuanxi nodded in response, "Okay, but what should we do with the bed in our room after the Kang is repaired?"

"Sleeping on the bed in the summer and sleeping on the kang in the winter, what's the point?" Cheng Dazhu glanced at him and walked with Mingyi with a smile.

Cheng Yuanxi shook his head helplessly, "What if we repair the Kang?"

"Ask the clan leader and village chief. If you want to repair it, then wait until ours is repaired and we can repair it together."

"It can only be this way."

Following the grandfather and grandson back home, they were stopped by the clan members before entering the house.

"Yuan Xi! Have you two gone to Fucheng?"

Cheng Yuanxi glanced at his father holding his daughter and was not stopped. He was the only one who was stopped. He felt complicated. What was going on with these people? They didn't dare to stop his father and came to stop him.

"I bought a lot of things! Look at such a big package."

"Yuan Xi, your family has become prosperous, but you can't forget our clan members."

"Say a few words, when did Yuan Xi and the others forget about their clansmen? This time they hired people from the same clan that Yuan Xi and his family cared about their clansmen. If they really don't care about their clansmen, once the news is released, there will be more people. Come and do the work.”

There were those tribesmen who came to watch the fun and had a clear mind and couldn't help but say something.

When you take advantage of others, you have to think of others' good; there are always some people in the clan who are not clear-headed and often make mistakes. Originally, people were kindly helping, but in the end, they did not think of others' good, but instead chilled people's hearts.

"Look at my mouth, Yuan Xi! Don't worry about it."

Cheng Yuanxi waved his hand, "Brothers, please go back first. It's cold in spring. The weather is freezing and the ground is freezing. Don't get frozen."

After saying that, he squeezed through the crowd and left. As for what the remaining people thought, that was none of his business.

The people who came to see the fun dispersed in twos and threes when they saw that there was no more fun to watch.

Upon entering the courtyard room, Cheng Dazhu and Mingyi sat on chairs waiting for his arrival; seeing him walking in a hurry, Cheng Dazhu smiled meaningfully.

"Lao San, you are quite popular!"

"Don't tease your son, they are just here to watch the fun. We went to Fucheng, and I carried so many things. People would know that we bought a lot of things when we came back. Why don't you come here to inquire about it?" Here we come." As he spoke, he put things on the small table next to Mingyi; then his daughter took her place and said, "You don't want to help your son. If there is a cousin to help, my son will have to be taken care of by them. If you stop outside and ask questions, you won't be able to enter this house."

Cheng Dazhu laughed loudly, "There are everyone in the clan, and you still want to take part in the imperial examination. Please deal with these interpersonal relationships first. Being an official cannot be based on your temper. You used to be too based on your temper, and you achieved nothing."

Cheng Yuanxi:

Gotta.

He really did nothing but make money by copying books.

"Dad, please save me some face in front of my daughter." He touched his nose and knew he was in the wrong.

Mingyi pursed her lips and smiled.

"In the past, I gave you too much face. You should put down your hands on the family matters first. Have you ordered the bricks and tiles? After ordering, I will give the receipt to your eldest brother and let your eldest brother handle the matter. You can spend more time reading. This year It’s the imperial examination held every three years. If you take part in the imperial examination, you have to go back to your hometown.”

Mingyi said: "Grandpa, dad, there is no need to go back to your hometown; this matter can be solved by the Crown Prince of Zhou. It will be in the northwest imperial examination. This will be the root of our family in the future."

The imperial examination requires people to return to their ancestral homeland to take the test. Of course, if someone brings their relationship to the northwest, they are from the northwest and can only take the test in the northwest.

"Then you tell Prince Zhou that if you can do it, you don't have to go back to your hometown; there was a drought last year and there were not many people there. It's not safe to go back alone." Cheng Dazhu shook his head and sighed, thinking of the hardships and difficulties along the way, his mood changed. heavy.

The entire Cheng family came to the northwest. Many people died on the road, were captured, and their wives and children were separated. A drought can wipe out an entire county or even an entire province.

"Well, I will ask Prince Zhou." Mingyi said.

Cheng Dazhu nodded invisibly, and put Cheng Yuanxi's matters aside for now; their top priority was to build a workshop, and the work of making soap at home could not stop.

The Cheng family has become busy. Cheng Dazhu stands up to take charge of the overall situation. Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan run errands. Cheng Yuanxi works with Cheng Dazhu on major matters. The rest of the time is spent reading books and picking up the books he has read.

Early February.

Zhou Ting led a group of people to Chengjiazhuang and went straight to Cheng Dazhu's house. When the Cheng family saw these people, they automatically gave way, allowing the group of people to reach the door of Cheng Dazhu's house smoothly.

"Master, we're here." Buwei opened the carriage door and brought in the horse stool.

"Ah."

Zhou Ting stepped out of the carriage and walked down on the horse stool, "Bring Yiyi's things directly to Canghaiyuan, and leave the other things to Mr. Cheng."

"Slave understands." Buwei smiled and bent slightly.

Zhou Ting walked towards the large open door, and Buwei shouted from behind: "Brothers, those who packed the carriage should unload it first."

"Don't worry about father-in-law, we all know how to do it." An Wu chuckled and said, "Hurry up and wait on me. I'm here to watch."

"Okay, I said, the contents in the box will be sent directly to Canghaiyuan; the other things will be handed over to Mr. Cheng."

Not wanting to hurry, he hurriedly caught up with Zhou Ting and stopped at the door of the courtyard. Seeing that their father had not entered, he raised his voice and shouted, "Is anyone home?"

"Have!"

Cheng Yuandong heard the sound and hurriedly came out of the side room. It happened that the soap making side rooms were not far from the main door. When he came out to see it, Cheng Yuandong was surprised and happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.

"The common people pay their respects to the Crown Prince."

"Well, get up, Uncle Cheng, is Yiyi at home?"

"Yes, yes, Yiyi is in her yard; if not in the yard, it may be in the field behind the yard." After Cheng Yuandong finished speaking, he said alertly: "Please come with the grassroots, and the grassroots will take you there. "

Zhou Ting waved his hand casually, "Uncle Cheng is busy. This prince has been here many times and knows the way."

"Yes."

Cheng Yuandong bowed and sent Zhou Ting and Buwei away. He turned around and looked at the workers standing at the door, and hurriedly said, "Don't look here, everyone. That person is a noble person. You can't look like this. It's rude."

It's like watching a monkey.

"Yuan Dong, this prince has come to your house again. Is he looking for Mingyi?"

"Go to work. This batch of soap requires a lot of soap; we have to make enough goods within the specified time. You guys can have some snacks." Cheng Yuandong couldn't scold him, so he could only understand it with emotion.

This is probably one of the inconveniences of inviting an acquaintance.

"I know, we will definitely do a good job."

Cheng Yuandong saw them going back to work and walked to the door to take a look; they were all very serious, as serious about these things as when they were worshiping their ancestors.

After confirming that everyone was working actively and reliably, Cheng Yuandong also entered a side room to help.
