Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 120
Dogs are like people. Although the two dogs of Master Lu Er are still young, they are very brave and capable.They grow up day by day. They are kept in the yard during the day and put in the backyard at night. Whenever a stranger approaches, they will yell loudly, so the family no longer has to worry about thieves.

Of course, Ning Wan is also very kind to these two dogs. Every day, she buys a few meat bones for them from the butcher shop, and raises them to make their fur shiny and full of energy.The family members joked that in the whole Ning family, the two dogs ate the best food, and there was meat every day.

Sitting under the grape trellis, Ning Wan picked a bunch of grapes and ate them, saying, "Without these two dogs, where would we be able to eat grapes?"

I used to worry about losing the donkeys again, so I would always pull a few donkeys into the yard before going to bed at night, but the grape trellis was ruined, but these days it has gradually grown back, and everyone can sit here to enjoy the cool and eat grapes.

My aunt also picked grapes to eat, and laughed again, "That's all right. A few days ago, there was a donkey tied up in the yard. It didn't look good, and it wasn't clean no matter how you cleaned it. How nice it is now! It's a bit like Zhao's village. ..."

Ning Wan completed the words for her, "So elegant."

"By the way, it's elegant!" The aunt said again: "Even if the Zhao family comes to Zhuangzi this year, I won't go to help. Leave it alone."

Sister Xi said: "The Zhao family has money, even if it is for nothing, I don't feel bad."

The few of them told their mother and Ning Qing about the wealth of the Zhao family, and their mother was speechless, "So rich!"

The Zhao family, the Zhao family has really become a distant dream, and Ning Wan didn't care much about it anymore, so she looked at her mother and said, "In a few years, I will also set up a Zhuangzi for my family!"

Everyone laughed.

The town sent people to patrol day and night, and the family also raised two wolf dogs, so the Ning family felt relieved.Moreover, Ma Yi Town was really quiet and quiet all the time, and there was no sign of any thieves.

However, in the past few months, the stories of thieves around Hutai County have become more and more legendary. More than a dozen towns have been thieves, some have lost livestock, some have lost money, and some have lost family treasures. The ability is very great, there is nothing they can't steal, but the government can't catch it anyway.

Only Ning Wan knew that this group of thieves were habitual thieves from the pass, and they were very cunning.Just look at them committing crimes, they have been traveling in various towns outside Hutai County, but never entered Hutai County, in order to be very cautious.After all, the county town has a city wall. The city gates are closed at night and opened in the morning, and there are people patrolling. If you miss a moment, you will not be able to escape, but the town is much easier. Even if you miss, you will run to the fields Where else can I find it?Moreover, they never commit crimes continuously. They stop after stealing one place. No one knows where they will show up next time.

I also thought of Fu Butou, magistrate Qian, they should be struggling to find a way to catch thieves every day, maybe Fu Butou has already been punished by Qian County magistrate.Ning Wanzong is intentional, but she really can't help, and can only watch these thieves roam free.

Instead, the letter from Duo Lun came over. Second Young Master Lu made a great contribution and brought back the head of the tribal leader who robbed Duo Lun. , that is, a military officer of the sixth rank.Ning Wan read Master Lu's letter to Mrs. Wu time and time again, "My son has been awarded the official position of six ranks and one hundred households. I will submit a letter to my mother in the near future, and the rest are well. I hope my mother will not read it..."

"Tie Shi has become a sixth-rank military officer?" Mrs. Wu asked Ning Wan again and again.

"Yes, Young Master Lu has become a sixth-rank military officer!"

"Tieshi is really like his father, he has been going well in the army."

"Yes." Ning Wan agreed. In Lu Tieshi's letter to his family, he didn't mention a single word about his pursuit of the enemy thousands of miles into the desert. Just because he sent the weapons to Duolun, he made a great contribution and became a hundred households.And Mrs. Wu didn't pursue it seriously, she was just happy that her son became a rank-[-] officer.

In fact, what Ning Wan knew before is no longer a secret, and Lu Tieshi has gradually become a household name from now on.Although he made a lot of military exploits in Duolun before, how can he compare to now?

People in Hutai County spread the story of how he led dozens of cavalry into the desert, chased the enemy for thousands of miles, broke into the barbarian camp at night, beheaded the barbarians, and brought back the captives. Time has suppressed the legend of the gang of thieves.The only difference is that back then Ning Wan heard people say that he slaughtered all the middle-aged men of that tribe, but now it seems that he did not kill that many people, but instead brought those barbarians back to Duolun as slaves, which made people They cleared wasteland and cultivated it.

Of course, none of these legends reached Mrs. Wu's ears. She still lived in the old house, where she had almost no contact with the world. Except for the two old servants around her, only Ning Wan would come to see her, and these three people I think it's better to keep things a secret.

Midsummer was the off-season for business, but Ning Wan was still in a good mood, so she took out the leathers sent by Master Lu Er and sent them to Hutai County to find a famous Zhou tailor. His family specializes in leather goods for generations. It's not worse than the famous stores in the capital, but the style is not as new as the ones there.

Tailor Zhou just glanced at it and asked, "Is this from the north?" He stroked it with his hand and sighed, "I haven't seen such a good leather for a long time!"

The forests, seas and snowfields where the sables live are all under the control of the barbarians. Every year some good furs are produced through the government. It is difficult for ordinary people to get them. Even if there are, they don’t grow in that cold place, and the furs are different.

"Tailor Zhou has good eyesight!" Ning Wan smiled and said, "I want to make a hat and six fur collars."

Ning Wan, who has such a good fur, can't just make a fur coat by herself, and sable fur is not suitable for her age, so she carefully calculated to make a hat for her father, so that her head is not cold and her body is warm when she goes out in winter; Auntie and Sister Xi each made a fur collar, and then bought good satin to make a cloak each, and put the collar on it, and put it on outside when it was cold. It was beautiful and practical.As for the stone, he is still young and grows fast, and Yu Shi also said that children are very angry and don't need to wear fur, so there is no his.

Tailor Zhou carefully measured it for a long time, and finally said: "There are still some broken skins left, you can put together another muff."

Ning Wan nodded, "Just follow what Tailor Zhou said."

Counting the wages, Ning Wan, who has always dared to spend money, was about to vomit blood, a total of 30 taels!

Ning Wan had made mink fur clothes before, so she didn't want to be so expensive, so she asked, "Is it too much? After all, there are only a dozen pieces of fur."

Tailor Zhou shook his head with a smile and said, "Your dozen or so pieces of leather are the best material. I want to make them myself. My son and apprentices can only watch from the sidelines. From now on, we will have to do winter, and all the lining silk threads we need The buckle and everything should be the best, and 30 taels of silver is not much!"

Ning Wan had no choice but to admit it, and told her mother that she lost half of it at home, but Yu still kept muttering for a long time, "You can make a few pieces of leather for a dozen taels of silver, why did you agree, we will buy them all at the fur shop Download these things!"

But when the things came back, Mrs. Yu didn't talk about it, especially Ning Liang's hat. I don't know how Tailor Zhou got it. He stitched several pieces of mink together seamlessly. It was flat and smooth, dark purple and black. The light implicitly shows incomparable luxury, and everyone who sees this hat will praise it.As for the benefits of this hat, which is warm to wear, and the lining can be removed and changed for washing, etc., I can't say enough.

After Sister Xi put the collars on everyone's cloaks, everyone put them on and tried them on, and immediately felt that they had changed. The aunt said: "Why do I feel that I have become an old lady from a rich family?" It's gone!" Pointing at Yu Shi and laughing, "Look at your mother, she looks like the daughter-in-law of a rich family!"

Ning Wan turned up the big fur collar on the cloak to show everyone, "It's okay, no matter what the weather is, I won't feel cold anymore." Her cloak is the most delicate color, it is pink blue satin, matched with thick sable The collar is pretty and luxurious, especially when she turned up the collar, which made her beautiful face even more beautiful and lovely.Sister Xi couldn't help but do the same with her, "Mom, do you think I look good?"

Because of her dark complexion, Sister Xi never wears light colors, so she chose bright red satin. Although it is more old-fashioned than Ning Wan's, it is more solemn, and she is two years older than Ning Wan, so it is suitable.Both Mrs. Yu and Auntie said: "Naturally, they look good. Such fine fur and satin will look good on anyone who wears them!"

Ning Qing specially changed the red satin dress when she got married, and now she shook her snow-blue cloak over her shoulders, and said with a smile, "I'll put it on when I go out later, it's so cool!"

Ning Wan kindly reminded her, "It's not too cold yet, so there's no need to wear a cloak."

"I want to wear it after I've made it!" Ning Qing said proudly again: "In the past, I always saw rich people wearing it like this, but now I have one too!"

The only muff finally went to Ning Wan. She wanted to decline, but she was afraid that it would fall into Ning Qing's hands, so she took it.The black-purple fur and shiny silver needles seem to have something cold and hard to touch, but they are extremely soft to the touch. Tailor Zhou's craftsmanship is really good. Although it is made of broken leather, it looks flat and completely flat. a piece of leather.Cuffing both hands inside, the heat became unbearable after a while. Seeing Ning Qing's envious gaze, she put it in her room together with the cloak, "Use it when it's the coldest."

Only then did he realize that there was still something to be done, so he conveniently returned Ning Qing's money in front of everyone.Ning Wan naturally increased the interest as promised, and took a closer look at the IOU before putting it on the oil lamp and burning it to ashes.

Ning Qing lent the silver out for more than half a year, and got a profit for nothing. Seeing that the money returned by her sister was two full taels of fine silk pattern silver, holding 55 taels of silver and smiling from ear to ear, she put on a new cloak and returned home. I went to the room, but I didn't see the complicated gazes of the people behind me.
