Chapter 90 Building a House
The first box contained the four treasures of the study, such as brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, which were added temporarily when they learned that there was another scholar in the Luo family;
The second box contained some special products and gadgets from Shangjing, including food, use, and play.

The third box is filled with the most popular cloth brocade in Shangjing. When you open it, you can see that it is colorful, and it shines brightly under the sun, which is very beautiful.Luo Baining looked straight at the spot, staring fixedly at those beautiful brocades and satins, unwilling to blink.

Yao shi has always doted on her, without saying anything else every year, new clothes are necessary for two, and she also chooses the most popular flower cloths of the season. Compared with other girls in the village, she is already much more delicate, but those flowers Compared with the box of silk and satin that Uncle Gu brought over, it was simply a pile of tattered rags.

Luo Baining's feet were stuck on the ground as if they had been staked, and he refused to move a step. His eyes were greedily staring at the box until Luo Baisu and Xiao Huzi carried the box into the house. Still reluctant to take it back.

Luo Baisu carried Gu Bo's things into the house and hurried to the yamen.He originally planned to ask old man Luo to help entertain Uncle Gu, but Uncle Gu didn't take a good look at old man Luo, and when he heard old man Luo speak, he wanted to stab him a few words. Help me settle down Gu Bo.

Xiao Huzi volunteered to drive him off. Luo Baisu thought about it and agreed.

It was getting late, and it was obviously impossible for him to enter the city on two legs before the city gate closed. Even the carriage in the town was too slow to make it in time.

Fang Shi and Luo Tiandu Gu Bo and his party watched the carriage leave the village before turning around.

Uncle Gu was indeed an old servant who had served the Gu family for many years. Once Luo Baisu left, he didn't need anyone to tell him. He took a broom and started to help clean the house.Luo Baisu has been busy in the county government office. There is only Fang Shi at home. Fang Shi has to take care of the fields and is busy with the house. It is inevitable that some people can't take care of them. The inside and outside of the house look clean and tidy. But the blind corners such as the bottom of the bed and the wall were covered with a thick layer of dust.

Luo Baining originally thought that Luo Baisu's family brought three boxes of things in, so they should all have their share, but Fang and Gu Bo finished delivering Luo Baisu, and no one was alone when they were working and cleaning. He took the initiative to open the box to divide things, and suddenly became unhappy, grabbed Yao Shi and said: "Mother, I want new clothes."

Yao shi originally came to Luo Baisu's mother-in-law's family, and the other party was so powerful. Seeing that Luo Baisu, whom he had always looked down upon, was about to break away from her control, become prosperous, and leave Luo Baihan far behind, Feeling very uncomfortable, Luo Baining was still entangled, and couldn't help but said angrily: "It's not a holiday, what new clothes do you want!"

Luo Baining was used to being at home, she had to get whatever she saw, let alone if it was moved into Fang's house, she was even more determined.In her heart, Luo Baisu is a slut that her mother dislikes, and Luo Baisu's and Fang's things will belong to her and Luo Baihan in the future.Since she had a fight with Luo Baihan last time, she has also become more thoughtful, especially last time, Yao shi pawned the only gold jewelry and leather jacket at home in order to pay the fine, and nothing Leaving it for her, I feel more and more that the elder sister is right, the things in the house should be held in the hands of oneself, otherwise they will be snatched by Yao Shi in the future and given to the second brother Luo Baihan.

But she has always been a person who doesn't like to use her brain, but she is too thoughtful, and her intelligence is limited. She just wants to take more things into her own hands, and no one will give them to her in the future. As for how and where those things come from, She doesn't care.

Now that she has set her sights on the box of silks and satins that Uncle Gu brought over, she has already thought about it with all her heart, making the red ones for jackets, the green ones for summer shirts, and the yellow ones for mattress skirts.But she had already planned out what color material and what clothes to wear, but she didn't expect that Gu Bo had no intention of giving them away at all.She stared at Fang with a puffy face, but Fang pretended not to notice; she frowned again and stared at Uncle Gu, but Uncle Gu never glanced at her. Standing in the yard, her expression changed several times, but there was no one. Ren ignored her, stomped his feet angrily, ran into the room and continued to make noise with Yao Shi.

Luo Tian was speechless.She really didn't understand how the Yao family educated their children. Among the three children raised, Luo Baiqiu was duplicity, Luo Baihan was vain and rascal, and Luo Baining was lazy and had a bad temper.Counting her age, Luo Baining should be 14 years old this year. According to the rules here, she can get married, but she is still so ignorant, it really makes people worry about her.

She thought about Luo Baining, and Luo Mingdu, who was only nine years old, but was sensible and well-behaved, and she felt that the child was really her own.

Mustache probably still has something to do in Shangjing. After he settled Gu Bo, he returned to Shangjing within two days.

The Gu family didn't have any spare room to house Uncle Gu, so Fang had to roll up the bedding and move them all to the small room in the inner room. She and her two children lived in the small room in the inner room, and let Uncle Gu live in the outside.

Although Gu Bo is old, he is not a family after all, living under the same roof, it is inevitable that someone will gossip.Even if Fang didn't care about other people's opinions, she couldn't help thinking about her two children.The family discussed whether it was better to go out and build a house while it was not snowing now.

Fang still had three hangs of money on hand, and Luo Baisu had received two hangs of money this month, plus the money for setting up a stall selling snacks in recent days, the total was more than seven hangs, which was more than enough to save and build a house.

As for the money that Uncle Gu brought over, none of the four members of the family thought about using it, they all consciously regarded it as Uncle Gu's, and usually didn't even look at it for fear that Uncle Gu would see it and think he wanted it.

Fang's thinking is very simple, even if Uncle Gu keeps calling Luo Baisu as Young Master Sun, but what is going on with the Gu family is still unclear. After all, Uncle Gu is just an old servant and cannot represent the entire Gu family. People recognize the existence of Luo Baisu, and they are unwilling to use any of the Gu family's money. In Fang's eyes, only the money he earns can be spent with peace of mind. No matter how much other people's money is, it belongs to other people's family. , It's awkward to spend by yourself.

As for Luo Tiandu, she didn't have any idea about those three boxes of belongings at all. She has her own hands and feet, so why should she spend other people's money.It is said that cannibals are soft-mouthed and short-handed when taking others. There is no free lunch in the world. If you spend other people's money for nothing, you will definitely have to pay back twice in the future.

Luo Baisu wanted to build a house, so Lizheng gave up the vacant lot next to the ancestral hall and used it as a house, and asked Luo Baisu to build the house there.

Because of the increase in the number of people in the family, the children gradually grew up and they had to live separately. Fang decided to build a larger house, with two entrances in front and back. There are sheds and pigpens, and only people live in the backyard. The layout is the same as the old Luo family house, with two main rooms and two wing rooms on the east and west sides.

After discussing the layout of the house, Mrs. Fang invited Luo Erbo to build the house.

Luo Erbo is a bricklayer in the village, and he was also invited to build a barn in Fang's house last time.Because of Luo Baisu's intercession with the household secretary, this year the county guards went to the countryside to collect rent and taxes, and they did not intentionally embarrass the villagers. Even if there are a few households with a large population, the food is not enough for a while, but they are also cheerful, and they just have to ask someone to make up for the food when the date is promised.

This year's tax payment is not only much smoother than in previous years, but also a lot of food has been reduced, which really makes the people in the village breathe a sigh of relief.

Uncle Luo also benefited from the glory once, saving the extra filial piety that must be paid every year, so his attitude towards Luo Baisu's family is much better. Since I invited a helper and acquainted craftsman to come over to help with the work, Fang's only thing is to produce the wood.

Most houses in the countryside are built with earthen walls. First, blue bricks are expensive, and there are many people building houses in autumn. They have to wait in line even if they want to buy bricks. Not enough.Besides, every household in the village is made of adobe brick houses, so they shouldn't be too out of the ordinary to avoid jealousy.

Uncle Gu also lost his temper because Fang's house was built and he refused to use the money he brought. He clamored to find a bricklayer himself and rebuild it. A magnificent mansion.

Luo Tian was a little dumbfounded, so he could only calm him down and said, "Uncle Gu, I know you love my father and my eldest sister, but our family is only a few people, and we built such a big house, let's not talk about what Uncle Lizheng gave us." Whether we have enough land, we can’t live in it, and the empty house is prone to dust and damp, and it takes a lot of effort to take care of it, which is really a waste.”

Uncle Gu was very confident: "Just buy two more people to take care of it. How much effort will it take?"

Luo Tian was very speechless, just when he was about to move away from the Yao family, another Uncle Gu came. Although one of them hated their family and the other was toward their family, it was equally difficult for them to talk to each other, but unlike the Yao family, Gu Bo has a weakness, as long as he hits the mark, it is relatively easy to persuade.

"Uncle Gu, you don't know that in the summer, grandma went to the county to sue my father for disobedience and disobedience. It was not easy for the lawsuit to be settled. If our house really built a brick house and lived in a big yard, grandparents lived If it spreads out, someone will say that my father is not filial."

Gu Bo immediately said angrily, "Who is your grandma? That stupid country woman is not worthy of calling you grandma." Having said that, his voice subconsciously dropped.

Although he didn't pay much attention to the Yao family and the old man Luo, Luo Baisu was still a descendant of the Luo family in name, as long as the Yao family and the old man Luo were still alive, he had to respect and be filial to both of them in accordance with the etiquette.Thinking of this, Gu Bo was so angry that his teeth hurt.
