I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 87 Housewarming Party 3
Zhou Chenyu was worried that he would make the same mistakes again when he went out alone, so he honestly told the truth about Lu Chi. The girl just smiled lightly and immediately sent a maid to take her out.

Chen Tongsheng, who had been waiting for a long time, saw her and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Chen Yu, why did you come here? But what went wrong on the road?"

"Brother Chen, I'm fine." Zhou Chenyu blushed and touched his head, "I got lost just now and went to the pavilion in the outer courtyard in a daze, but luckily I met a kind-hearted young lady who asked the maid to take me from."

Chen Tongsheng looked at the leaving maid, and his nervous heart relaxed, "Oh, fortunately, that's the personal maid next to the third lady. She should be the lady you met."

Zhou Chenyu guessed her identity correctly, "Then what is her name?"

Chen Tongsheng replied: "Tang Qingyu."

Zhou Chenyu read her name over and over again, "Isn't Miss Qingyu a particularly nice person?"

"Exactly." Chen Tongsheng said as he walked, "Master Tang and his wife have two sons and one daughter. Miss Qingyu is the youngest and the most favored one. Miss Qingyu is loved by the master not only because of She lost her mother at a young age, and her temperament is most similar to that of the master. Even though she was born into a wealthy family, she was not arrogant because of favors. She was always kind to others, and no one said anything bad about her. "

Zhou Chenyu thought of the girl's smile, without any airs, "She is indeed a kind-hearted girl."

It was already evening when they left Tang Mansion. It was still nearly half an hour's walk from home. They didn't dare to linger on the road and hurried back home.

Getting this job is equivalent to earning all the money for the next year. Even after a busy day today, Zhou Chenyu does not feel tired and walks happily.

When she entered the village, the sunset had already sunk to the bottom of the mountain, and there was no one else on the village road except her. Passing by the door of her neighbor's house, other families gathered around and had a hot meal.

Smelling the aroma of rice, Zhou Chenyu hurriedly ran home. Huang Dou, who was lying at the door blowing the cool breeze, heard the movement and screamed twice in the dark distance. When Zhou Chenyu came closer, , the familiar smell rushed into Soybean's nose.

Huang Dou froze on the threshold, with his big round eyes open, staring motionlessly in the direction of the movement. When the Zhou Chen Yuman appeared in front of it, its tail suddenly shook like a propeller, and it was happy again. Jumping and jumping, he quickly ran towards Zhou Chenyu.

Zhou Chenyu laughed when he saw its tail swaying from side to side, and called it into the house together, shouting: "I'm back!"

Baoyu, who was shaving potatoes, raised his head. He hadn't seen his sister for a few days and missed her very much. He happily said, "Sister! I have longed for you to come back!"

The sound of chopping meat in the kitchen stopped abruptly. Li Xiuju held the kitchen knife and walked out with a smile on her face. "You're back just in time. It's time to eat. It's so late. Did you encounter anything on the way?"

Zhou Chenyu walked to the well, "It's a little late, but Brother Chen sent me to the entrance of the village, so I'm not afraid."

Baoyu thought of being saved by Team Leader Yang today and couldn't wait to share it with her sister. She quickly put down the knife and came over, "Sister, I have something very important to tell you."

"Really?" Zhou Chenyu wiped his hands clean, raised his eyes with a smile, and looked at Zhou Baoyu and Li Xiuju, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, today I went to Tang Mansion to make sugar water for the housewarming party, and they gave me One tael of silver a day!"

Baoyu and Li Xiuju exclaimed in unison, "One tael of silver a day?!"

Zhou Chenyu smiled and nodded, "Ah!"

Baoyu looked at her sister miserably, "Sister, I only earned 150 copper coins after three days of hard work. I bought a pound of meat and lost half a day's wages. Compared with you, sister, I am really useless." "Li Xiuju patted Baoyu's head, happy but unbelievable, "I know Mr. Tang is kind and generous, but one tael of silver is too much, not to mention that the housewarming banquet takes three days. Isn't this just three taels of silver?"

"This is what Feng Chuli, the chief steward of the Tang Dynasty, personally agreed to. How can it be false?" The smile on Zhou Chenyu's mouth never stopped, "General Manager Feng is in charge of a large family. He is such a shrewd person, he must know I am worth this price. If others dare to give it, I will do it! I will definitely earn these three taels of silver!"

"This is too much. I can't even think about earning three taels of silver in three days." Li Xiuju's hand holding the kitchen knife was shaking with excitement. "My mother wanted to divide the pound of meat that Baoyu bought back over several nights. Eat, you are happy today, why not cook them all and eat them to your heart’s content!”

Zhou Chenyu heard the meat and waved his hand, "Cook! When I get the wages for those days, let's go to a restaurant on the street and have a delicious meal!"

Baoyu cheered, "Okay! Let's go to the restaurant!"

Li Xiuju ignored her happiness and hurried back to the kitchen to work. Zhou Chenyu calmed down and looked at Baoyu leisurely: "Hey, by the way, what did you want to say to me just now?"

"Ah?" Baoyu just heard about the restaurant and was just thinking about what to eat. He couldn't think of what to say. He racked his brains for a long time and raised his head in confusion: "Sister, I forgot."

"..." Zhou Chenyu really wanted to give him a shock, but she was happy today. She wiped her hands, got up, and ran into the kitchen.

The well water in the pot has just been put on the stove and needs to be boiled slowly over low heat. Li Xiuju has minced the meat and is taking a spoon to squeeze out the meatballs one by one.

Zhou Chenyu poked his head over and said, "Old lady, shall we eat meatballs tonight?"

"Yes, let's make a meatball and cabbage soup." Li Xiuju pursed her lips and said with a smile, "My mother also dug two dustpans of potatoes in the vegetable garden today. They grew very well. I stewed them with the half-fat and half-lean pork. I'm sure it will be right. It’s delicious. You’ve been busy outside all day, and your body is dusty and sweaty, so it must be uncomfortable. The hot water in the pot is almost ready, so you should take a shower quickly, and we’ll have dinner when it’s done.”

Zhou Chenyu felt sticky on his body and smelled faintly of sweat, "Okay, then I'll take a shower."

The autumn rice seedlings in Qingshui Town have been planted, and the days are slowly entering September.

It's almost autumn.

Zhou Chenyu scooped up half a bucket of hot water, mixed it with half a bucket of cold well water, and adjusted it to a moderate temperature. Unexpectedly, halfway through washing, his cheeks were still covered with fine sweat, as if he had been in a sauna.

Zhou Chenyu didn't dare to stay in the steamy bathroom for too long. As soon as he finished taking a bath, he put on his clothes and quickly fled the place.

She walked to the door of the courtyard, fanned herself with a cattail leaf fan, and blew the cool breeze of early autumn. After a long while, the heat in her body gradually faded away.

Huangdou sat at her feet, with his mouth open and his tongue sticking out, and his saliva kept falling down due to the heat.

Zhou Chenyu saw it looking at the door seriously and called it. After hearing the sound, Huang Dou happily exposed its belly on the ground and kept rolling.
