Chapter 25 Building a house in a storm
  Now that the sun is strong, the cut wood will soon be almost dried.

For several days in a row, they were all women riding in carriages and donkeys, while the men slept on the floor.

After cutting the wood and digging the foundation, it was time to get thatch and dry it for the roof.

Wenfu had already started weaving bamboo products.

Seeing everyone's hard work, Qin Jia really felt that if it wasn't so scary, she would have wanted to draw a dormitory.

One person can live in a room wherever he wants, it's all beautiful to think about.

Alas, let’s finish eating this fruit and continue picking fruits.

She and Qin Lin accidentally discovered this wild fruit tree. The fruits on it were all ripe, so they were busy picking them all back today.

When the time comes, it can be made into dried fruit or something to add more flavor.

After laying the floor for seven days, the wood was finally ready for use.

Once the house is built, the speed is much faster. After all, it is just a wooden house.

In order to save time and wood, they have already planned the style.

Build three large wooden houses, and then divide them into halls in the middle, and divide them into four side rooms on both sides.

After all, two rooms are not enough for living. If three rooms are separated, there is no shortage of four rooms separated by a wall.

The extra room in Wen's house can be used as a utility room.

There are not many Qin families, just one room for Qin Lin and Qin Jia, one for Si Qi and Zhishu, and one for Qin Lie and Qin Hao.

Zhao Dong and the others had also considered the two extra rooms. Their parents were also exiled in Rimuzhou and had not yet arrived, so they could come and live there when they did.

As for the kitchen, the Qin family’s will be built first, and everyone will make do with it, and then each family will build one.

After all, you may be living here for a long time, so it is necessary to cook separately.

During this period, the administrator of the exile's territory also sent someone to pay attention, and by the way, he registered his name, age, place of origin, and the crimes he had committed.

The third-rank official of the Qin family, Taichang Shiqing, was accused of corruption, and all the male members of his direct lineage had been beheaded.

The female relatives filled Silefang.

The other related nine clans, servants, subordinates, etc. were either exiled or sold.

So the word on the necks of the Qin family is the word "corruption".

The Wen family is the word for murder, and attempted murder is also murder. The main reason is that the county magistrate had some tricks, otherwise the sentence would not have been so long.

What's more, they didn't harm people, they were just directing and acting.

Zhao Dong's father is a guard of the Qin Mansion, so the thing on his neck is also greed.

That's right, even Qin Huaiyi didn't expect that the Zhao family actually worked in the Qin family in the capital. I heard that the uncle of the Qin family was kind to his father.

Qin Jia, who has seen various tattoos in modern times, actually doesn't care much about the words on her neck.

But she knew that others cared, because it represented an insult to one's character.

Now everyone has not solved the problem of food and clothing, and it is not a good time to remove the word, so Qin Jia has not yet thought about how to get rid of it.

***
  When everyone was busy and couldn't take care of her and Qin Hao, the two children, Qin Jia would occasionally lead Qin Hao around the territory.

When I see a child, I will come over to play with them, chatting with them and so on.

It’s better to use clichés than children, and children don’t have a clear mind yet. She, a pseudo-toddler, is different.

No matter how much I walked around during this period, I never saw anyone coming out of the largest wooden house, that is, the manager of the territory, who they called Boss Ming.

I heard that she came from the Gongsun family, the maternal family of the deposed prince a few years ago.

Although he was exiled, he still had a family background. This Ming boss had many guards under his command.

Later, the second and third sons came, named Lin Xuan and Lin Yuan, and they also brought people with them.

The three of them worked together to establish this territory. Relying on the force of his subordinates to suppress him, the current rules gradually formed!
  And relying on the information collected, Qin Jia believes that they still have contact with the outside world, and someone will send supplies to them three or five times a year.

This is why some bacon occasionally appears in the market.

"Is Jiajia out for a walk again?"

Qin Jia smiled and nodded and walked over, "Auntie, are you going to pick wild vegetables?"

The woman heard the words and replied: "Yes, pick more, dry it, and make more pickles, otherwise there will be nothing to eat in winter."

While she was talking, she took out two fruits from the basket and gave them to her and Qin Hao.

"The fruit trees grown at my aunt's house will give you two sweet treats."

"Auntie, I can't take it. You can keep it for yourself."

"Take it, my aunt doesn't have any children, so she doesn't like eating these."

Qin Jia reluctantly took it. How could he not like to eat in a barren place?

It’s not an exaggeration to eat dirt and grass roots when you’re extremely hungry, let alone fruits.

Although it is said to be produced on the tree at home, there may not be ten fruits on that tree even if you add one piece, you can see them clearly at a glance.

Seeing that his sister picked up the phone, Qin Hao dared to pick it up and thanked him abruptly, "Thank you, Auntie."

"So good." Aunt Fang smiled very gently, and if you look closely, there seemed to be water in her eyes.

Looking at Aunt Fang's back walking up the mountain, Qin Jia sighed, this is also a poor person.

The child was lost in exile, and the husband is now paralyzed in bed.

So she didn't want to take food from others, but every time Aunt Fang saw the two siblings, she would force them to eat.

Qin Jia didn't understand why, maybe it was her and Qin Hao, who looked like her child.

After all, although Aunt Fang is very kind to other children in the territory, she is also so partial to them.

For a place of exile where everything depends on oneself, food is undoubtedly as important as life.

As usual, after walking around and chatting with a few children, Qin Jia took Qin Hao back.

The place where the three families were divided was on the left side at the end. In order to leave some space to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, they moved back a little, so they were quite far away from where the territories were gathered.

***
  After watching the two siblings leave, a child in his early ten years hurriedly ran to the door of the largest wooden house and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A faint cold voice came from inside.

"I've met the young master, Brother Xuan, Brother Yuan."

"It's Xiaoliang, what's wrong? Is there something going on?"

The boy shook his head and nodded again, "Nothing special, just that nine-year-old girl who takes her brother out for a walk every day and asks us about things in the territory."

"What are you asking about?"

"I just asked what was going on and listened to some gossip. I didn't inquire deeply."

Gongsun Wuming nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. I will go get a pound of black noodles later and let your mother make steamed buns for you."

"Thank you, Master, for the reward."

"Pay more attention to the new ones. If you see anything wrong, remember to come back and report it."

After all, they are members of a third-grade official clan, how could they dare to be completely relieved?

You must know that the third prince just went to clean the imperial mausoleum, not dead!

The third prince's mother-in-law is a daughter of the Qin family. Since the fall of the Qin family, she has also entered the cold palace, but she managed to save her life.
