The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 111
The common people are also paying attention to the house at the south gate, and there are often officials and gentlemen who come to observe it, making everyone want to join in the fun, but this meeting has not yet been opened for them to see.

With the prototype of the first courtyard house, the engineering team recruited another 300 people. The construction site was full of noise. Ten courtyards were under construction at the same time, and a large amount of bricks, tiles, cement and sand were transported to the construction site.

There have also been more men working part-time around the construction site, and Hu Yiniu and Hu Erniu's status as supervisors have also passed the Ming Road. The emperor felt that this house could be built more, and planned to let this construction team be fixed and return it to these people. The two were paid a fixed salary of 50 taels a month, and Father Hu and Mrs. Zhang were even more grateful to the uncle.

Father Hu treated the three sons equally: "You all know how you got this job! If anyone doesn't do things well, or is greedy for money, don't blame me for breaking his legs. Turn around and get out wherever you come from." Wherever you go, don't stand in the way of me!"

Mrs. Zhang said from the side: "Although your sister gave birth to several sons for the old Yuan's family, you also know that your brother-in-law now has a title that can be passed on for three generations. I don't know how many people outside are staring at him. If you don't If you can't help, and let your sister lose face, that mother will think she has no son!"

The three stalwart sons knelt in front of the old couple, kowtowed and swore that they would do well, supervise each other, and not embarrass their sister.

Zhao Xiucai's old wife watched her son-in-law stay away for a long time, and only after asking her daughter did she find out about such a good thing. She wept with joy, and held her daughter's hand:

"San Niang, you are still lucky. This uncle's good fortune is greater than I thought. You have all the girls raised in the uncle's house, so you don't have to worry about your way out. Now, besides holding on to my uncle's heart, you still have to do it again." It's just a few more children, anyway, you don't have to worry about raising them now."

Seeing that her mother was so happy, Zhao Sanniang could only nod her head in agreement. She felt that she was much better than the other two siblings. At least her relationship with her man had never changed.

After Miss Niu knew that Hu Erniu was receiving the imperial mission again, the first thing she paid attention to was: "Then how much is your monthly salary? How much do you give me every month?"

Hu Erniu did not hide any secrets, but after informing him, he said: "I will give you five taels of silver every month, and I will use the rest to buy land. Our Hu family does not have much land now, only ten mu."

Big Sister Niu disagreed: "Isn't ten acres enough to eat? Why buy so much? Are you trying to play tricks on me? I'm your wife, and you should give me all your money!"

Hu Er smiled nonchalantly and said, "Leave it to you, who will it be used for? Hehe, you have such a big face. The labor and management don't care about you so much. You still have to make progress. Just do it. Someday you will give labor and management It's not that I dare not ask you to go out if you are messed up!"

Big Sister Niu was so angry that she almost couldn't catch her breath, and said sternly, "How dare you!"

Hu Erniu raised his eyebrows: "If you don't believe me, try it!"

Ignoring the daughter-in-law who wanted to be rude, Hu Erniu packed up his clothes, packed a bundle, and went out of the house. It was more enjoyable on the construction site.

Entering Fuyue, the weather is hot, and the project on the construction site has also entered the final stage. Cuihua's two sisters-in-law and eldest sister-in-law are about to give birth.

The best stable woman in the capital was also invited to Dali Village. It is very sour to think about it.

On the spacious official roads in the capital, beautiful women sent by various prefectures were also welcomed one after another. The men on the construction site were all beaming when they mentioned this. The carriages were densely covered, and they didn't know where they could see him.

Everyone is unanimously envious of the emperor. With so many beauties, they can be grooms every night for several years!

The envied Xia Hongdi was chatting with Hei Wa at this time. Regarding the Anju housing, he felt that the one hundred sets were not enough, so he dragged him to look at the layout of the capital, wanting to repair more.

At the end of the talk, he teased Hei Wa: "There are many beauties in this show, look, do you want me to give you a few? Don't worry, I will find you some soft-tempered ones!"

Heiwa immediately begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! People say that when taking a concubine, you have to accept the one you like, but the minister's heart is all on the minister's wife, so who is the minister to embarrass himself? Besides, The four boys of the Chen family came out of the womb of a mother, no matter how you treat them, I am not afraid that my daughter-in-law will be partial to anyone!"

"But this made the minister accept a woman he didn't like, and wanted this woman to give birth to a baby for the minister, and then, the baby had to share the family fortune earned by the minister and his wife. This minister couldn't bear to think about it, so he did this loss-making business! "

"I was born with mud legs, and now the family has the favor of His Majesty to have these family fortunes. I don't intend to mess up the foundation. I made an oath to the family. As long as I live, the descendants of the family will not take concubines, and those who break the line will leave the clan!"

After saying this in a serious manner, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, in the eyes of the minister, there is not much difference in what other women look like. Those faces with heavy makeup, after washing, don't know how long they are. What is it like!"

Xia Hongdi was speechless by Heiwa's words, he still didn't want to accept a concubine he didn't like, who would be willing to say that?However, he was forced to do this, and when he thought of this, his mood was not so good. After telling Hei Wa to leave, he still thought about it for a long time.

In the end, a news was set for the draft that shocked all the beauties: All the girls in the draft are not allowed to wear make-up and participate in the election without makeup.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will not be satisfied with her plain makeup. Who wouldn't want to use rouge and gouache to make their facial features more three-dimensional and brighter?

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager of the Shangsheng recently cheered up because of the hard work of the draft. She asked her personal nurse: "This time the arrangement will not go wrong again, right?"

The nanny knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, if something goes wrong again this time, this old slave will go to the Buddhist hall to eat fast and chant Buddha!"

Only then did the Empress Dowager of Shangsheng nod her head slowly. Nothing has gone well recently, but her Xu family has an excellent grand-niece running for the election this time, which gave her some clues about her plans.

Shuangshu in the capital, she doesn't believe that this noble girl is still one or two of the top beauties, how can a man refuse?
If it is said that Xu Mengniang, a concubine of the Xu family, is sought after by the high-school disciples in the capital for her beauty and outstanding talent in poetry and poetry, then the other Shu is the Tianshan snow lotus, which is pure and pure, and can be seen from a distance but not to be played with.

The Xue family, a large porcelain merchant that existed before the founding of the Xia Dynasty, had several porcelain kilns that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Although the children of their family are not as good as the previous generation, and in the year of Tianshun, they have not been established as second-rate merchants, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and his family still has half a street of shops in the capital to collect rent.

The Xue family's ancestors were wealthy, but they did not produce outstanding descendants. In this generation, the most outstanding concubine is actually the 16-year-old girl Xue Yingying.

Xue Yingying has been a jade snow beauty since she was a child, and her food and clothing are the top resources of the family. From the age of ten, she was taught by famous experts and played the piano well. Her facial features only developed after the age of 15.

With Sai Xue's skin, exquisite figure, and dark hair, although her personality is cold and she doesn't like to laugh, but with her exquisite facial features and bright eyes when looking at people, no one can refuse her request.

He has been the best in the piano art competitions of the famous ladies in the capital several times, and he already has the demeanor of everyone and is famous in the capital.

She is also very clear that the family is going into decline, and none of the brothers are outstanding. Now it is time for her to repay the support of the family.

The first round of screening for show girls in the capital began on the day Qian Alan launched it.

With a big frame, good food after marriage, and her second child, Qian Alan felt as if she had laid an egg. Except for the labor pain, the delivery process was extremely smooth.

Mrs. Zhang hugged her little granddaughter, and told Qian Alan to stay in confinement and not to worry about family affairs, as she also had a servant to help her.

This is a servant of the family. In fact, Cuihua bought it to serve her mother. Now that the Hu family has the conditions, she bought a family, a couple in their 30s, with a teenage son and A daughter of seven or eight years old.

The man’s name is Laifu, and he usually waits behind Father Hu. The daughter-in-law is from the Laifu family. The tooth place was bought by Cuihua and brought home.

Laifu's family looks skinny, but her hands are not weak, and she can do laundry and cooking. Now that Alan is in confinement, Zhang will point her to take care of the mother.

Qian Alan didn't mind who served her, she looked at the bright red monkey with a smile all over her face, now, she has both children, even though her stepdaughter is also a girl, it's because of the second belly, right?

The little girl named Xiaowei had just passed three washes, and Niu Damei also started. This time, Niu Damei has a big belly and a good appetite. Zhang is very worried, and asked the doctor to take the pulse, saying that it is twins.

She had the onset ten days earlier, and she started crying in pain as soon as she put down the rice bowl at the baptism banquet.

Let someone help her, and walked back home slowly, Laifu's family is also helping this time, boiling water, waiting for Wen Po to use it.

Twins, plus the size is not small, and the fetal position is not considered correct, this birth is not ordinary difficult.

On the second day, she was exhausted. Cuihua sliced ​​the century-old ginseng bestowed by the Empress Empress, and asked her to hold it in her mouth to boost her energy.

This time, Hu Erniu had not left home after the feast, and took Xiao Chuan to guard the door. Xiao Chuan was tearful: "Father, mother will be okay? She is screaming so badly!"

Hu Erniu patted his head and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, didn't you see that your aunt sent all the century-old ginseng? This is a great tonic, and your mother will gain strength soon after eating it Already!"

This time, the whole family, when they were born ugly, gave birth to a pair of twin daughters.

The exhausted Niu Damei heard that it was two daughters who actually passed out, and the delivery room was in a hurry again.

On the second day, holding the twin granddaughters, Mrs. Zhang still worriedly said: "Oh, I was born when I was ugly, so don't be ugly!"

Hu Erniu is not happy with his mother's words: "Mother, parents don't think their children are ugly!"

He also gave the twin girls nicknames: Xiaolian and Xiaohe.

Mrs. Zhang prayed: Good granddaughter, just don’t look like your stupid mother!
