Chapter 70 Building a Bamboo House (Fifth Watch)

Su Shiqin ran fast: "I'll go and explain to my elder brother."

Narankin: "..." She seems to have been fooled.

Half an hour later, two carriages stopped at the gate of Qingyu Temple, and Su Shiqin climbed into the carriage neatly with his bundle in his arms.

Nalanjing and Rong Xuan got into another carriage.

Lin Xi and Su Shirong watched them leave.

Lin Xi looked at the leaving carriage, went back to the princess's study, and said respectfully: "They left."

The eldest princess didn't make a sound, but Lin Xi felt a little oppressed for no reason.

At noon, the eldest princess didn't drink a drop of water or medicine.

In the evening, the eldest princess broke down emotionally and cried bitterly all night.

Lin Xi returned to the days when she was worried, and hurried to find Su Shirong.



Nalanjing and Rong Xuan came back after going out for three days, and the family members were very happy to see them.

Xiao Liu surrounded Nalan Jing, pestering her to ask where she went, his words were full of longing.

Nalanjing took out the cakes that had been prepared, and when Xiao Liu saw the sweets, he forgot all the accusations he had made. Holding the cakes, he sat at the door and started to eat.

Rong Yu and Rong Qian went to the college to attend classes, and Primary Four and Primary Five were also in the private school, so they were not at home.

Nalanjing called out to his grandmother before introducing him: "Grandma, this is Su Shiqin, the youngest son of the Su family."

Su Shiqin looked at the old woman in front of him, without the arrogance of a nobleman on his face, and smiled slightly: "Grandmother, you can call me Shiqin."

The old woman was surprised by Su Shiqin's attitude, but she didn't ask any further questions, just nodded with a smile.

Su Shiqin wanted to stay at home for a while, but there were obviously not enough rooms, so Nalanjing went to Lizheng's house and asked him to help find someone to build two rooms.

It takes time to cut the walls with yellow mud bricks, but to build them with pillars and bamboo, and with sufficient manpower, it can be completed before dark.

Nalanjing gave Lizheng 50 taels of silver to help find someone to build it, while she went to the town to buy two beds and came back.

The reason why the two rooms were built was because Liu Yan always ran home and occasionally slept in Rong Yurongqian's room. If he knew that she built a room for Su Shiqin and bought a bed, he would definitely feel that it was unfair.

As a sister-in-law, she needs a bowl of water.

When Lizheng held 50 taels of silver, he was startled. With so much money, he could build a house by himself. However, the guests will move in tonight, so it must be too late to build a house. It is still possible to build two bamboo houses.

He took the money and went to the next-door village. The bamboo in the bamboo house could not be cut fresh, it had to be processed in advance, otherwise it would be easy to rot, and the pillars also needed to be processed in advance. There were experts in the next-door village.

After confirming the master who came to the door, Li Zheng asked his sons to find Zhuang Li for help, the more the better, most of the time was [-] Wen.

The wages are very high, and working outside on weekdays costs only ten cents a day.

A lot of strong people from the village have come.

Du Hu and Zhou Jia Erlang called on the others to work, and a group of people were very busy.

When Nalanjing came back, the bamboo house had already been put on the pillars, and the others greeted her when they saw her coming back: "Miss Rong..."

Lolo's endless voice.

During the period, a person brought by the master from the neighboring village saw this scene and couldn't help but wondered: "What kind of big shot is she in your village? Why is she so rare?"

Zhou Zhoulang held a hammer in his hand and was hammering hard on the pillars on the ground. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Do you need money for medical treatment in your village?"

Definitely, this is not nonsense.

The man was puzzled, thinking that Zhou Zhoulang was calling him sick.

"Oh." Zhou Zhou Lang raised his brows, a little proud: "Our village has a little lady Rong, who doesn't need to pay for minor illnesses, serious illnesses... just look at it."

The man couldn't believe that such a good thing happened.

He looked at Nalan Jing a few more times, and said indifferently: "She is so young, what kind of disease can she cure?"

"Dang, clang, clang!" Zhou Zhoulang knocked on the pillar, and replied naturally: "Any disease can be cured."

The man shook his head: "I don't believe it."

Zhou Zhoulang stopped smashing the hammer and grabbed his back collar.

The man was startled: "What do you want?"

Zhou Zhoulang pointed to a figure from behind and asked him to look over, "Did you see that little brother in gray clothes, go up and ask what disease his mother has and who cured it."

The man was puzzled: "I said why you protect Miss Rong so much, those who don't know think..."

He didn't dare to say the rest, but he could understand the meaning.

Zhou Yilang was not angry, he continued to beat the pillar, and replied calmly: "A month ago, if she hadn't saved my mother-in-law, I would be alone now. This kind of kindness must be protected."

The man looked at him in surprise, he didn't think Zhou Zhoulang would lie, could it be that Miss Rong's medical skills are really so good?

After hesitating for a long time, he still went to ask the little brother in gray clothes.

When the little brother in gray clothes saw him ask, he didn't hide anything and said: "My mother is in her 40s, and she had a tumor in her throat the year before last. dropped."

When the man heard this, he immediately looked at the little brother in gray in horror: "How can Miss Rong do such a thing!"

The little brother in gray glared at him speechlessly: "Miss Rong didn't kill my mother, she died a long time ago. Are you looking for a beating if you say such things?"

Seeing that he was really good at beating people, the man quickly slipped back to Zhou Zhoulang's side and buried himself in his work.

Now he completely believed what Zhou Zhoulang said.

Even the tumor can be cut off, the doctor in the town can't.

Li Zheng's housekeeper invited everyone to eat at his house for lunch.

Nalanjing gave Lizheng money, and Lizheng arranged everything else.

In the afternoon, when Rong Yu and Rong Qian came back, the bamboo house had already been built.

They knew that Su Shiqin was going to stay at home, so they didn't have any objections.

Although Rong Qian was once punched by Su Shiqin, but hearing that he was so tragically beaten by his own father, he became irritable, not only did not care about it, but also felt a little sympathetic.

Liu Yan, who came back to play with them, knew that Nalanjing had built him a bamboo house and bought a bed, so he hurried a few followers to open up wasteland happily.

More than half of that piece of wasteland has been opened up, and there is still a small half left.

The entourage had a bitter look on his face: the young master used us to curry favor with the young lady Rong.

Nalanjing went to Lizheng's house to settle the wages.

The people brought by the old master next door were paid according to the master’s price, thirty taels of silver per person, one tael of silver for the master, and four taels of silver for bamboo and pillars. The total cost was five taels of silver and three hundred taels of silver.

There were twenty people in my own village, including several sons of Lizheng's family, and each spent [-] Wen, which cost [-] Wen.

Cooking at noon, I bought pork, which cost [-] Wen. The vegetables were grown by the aunt, so it was not considered money.

Li Zheng did the math, and it happened to cost six taels of silver, which doesn't sound like much, but it's just a day's wages. If it's building a house, if you use yellow mud drills to cut the walls, the cost of materials will double, and the house will cost at least half a dollar. It took a month to complete, and it would cost more than 100 taels of silver.
