Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 551
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's not a draft, just open the window for fresh air, you're not afraid. If you're still worried, put down the bed curtain and open it after fresh air."

Ding Wei went to the window in person and pushed open the two carved windows.Yunying's room faces south, just to avoid the sea breeze blowing from the northwest, and the moist, cool and slightly salty air suddenly poured in, causing Ding Wei to take a deep breath.

Sister-in-law Zhao hurried to put up the bed curtains, but after a while, the room became much cooler.

Only then did Ding Wei half cover the window sash, and then lifted the curtain to "rescue" Yunying's mother and son.

Yunying also breathed in the fresh air gulpingly, and sighed contentedly for a long time, "Master really saved my life, if I continue to be bored like this, I won't finish confinement, I'll be suffocated to death."

"Bah, bah!" Ding Wei spit out quickly, "Children's words are not taboo, the strong wind blows away. You are a child's mother, and you don't have the sense to speak."

Yun Yinghan smiled and received the "eye knife" from her master, and finally lowered her head to touch her son's little face, and then sent it out.

"Master, give me a hug."

Ding Wei hugged the baby who smelled of milk, because she couldn't love her, she kissed him lightly on the forehead, and said with a smile, "Take a good confinement, I will go to the new city for a walk in a few days. And The rainy season is coming in two months, and there are many things that need to be arranged.”

Yunying nodded, "At this time, I can't help, so don't be too tired, master."

"Okay, when you are busy later."

"Is there no news from Dayue? I wonder if Mr. Fang has bought enough seeds? There is also food. It's the end of the new year. I'm afraid there will be a war at the General's place."

"No news at this time is good news. If everything goes well, there will be nothing wrong on the left and right islands during the rainy season. I want to take a trip to Da Viet."

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Ding Wei spoke out the plans she had been thinking about day and night.

Yunying was going to object when she opened her mouth, after all, the fact that the master was exiled outside really left too much shadow on everyone.

Now that she heard that her master was leaving home again, she couldn't help but dance violently in her heart.

But before she could speak, she swallowed the words again when she saw the slight sadness between the master's brows.

It has been a year since the sun came out of Beijing, and the master and his wife get together less and leave more, and even haven't seen each other for more than half a year.How could you not miss it?
It is already very good that the master can persist until the construction of the island is completed before going to Dayue.

"Okay, I will be confinement at that time, I will show Master Taoyuan Island, master just go."

As soon as Shan came in from the outside, he asked, "Where is the master going, the new city? Mr. Wei also said that he would go there."

Yunying couldn't help but blame, and replied, "Master didn't tell you to go, why are you so anxious?"

Shan Yi scratched the back of his head, blushing a little, "I just said it in passing."

Ding Wei couldn't help laughing, Shan Yi used to be a slave to his wife, it's just what Yunying said, but now he's a father and a slave to his children, he can't wait to stay by his wife and son all day long, not moving an inch.

Yunying has been with her for the longest time, and she is really happy to be so happy now.

"It's done, you two talk, I'm going back."

While talking, she went out, and as soon as Shan arrived at the door, she was instructed by her daughter-in-law to pick up the dried diapers for her son.

Ding Wei walked along the corridor, sniffing the smoke from every house, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

The new city is a hundred miles away from Deshibao, and almost all the craftsmen who built the city were recruited from Quanzhou in the later period, so there is no need to run back and forth every ten days and a half just to visit family members.

On the contrary, Guanshi Zhao and Guanshi Chen hitched a ride with their master and went back to the new city together because they came back for a Chinese New Year reunion.

Xu Shi was really tired when he went to the fields to harvest the land. Brother An had a fever these two days, so Ding Wei simply didn't take him out with him.

Danggui found two and a half sets of old men's clothes, without even the guards, just a carriage with two masters and servants sitting in it, and steward Zhao and steward Chen on the shafts of the carriage, and set off.

Chu Lao San was worried and wanted to send dozens of more guards, but Dang Gui glared at him and swallowed his words back.

The fleet hadn't returned yet, and naturally there was no reply from General Chu. The youngest Chu was very anxious, but he didn't dare to provoke Angelica.

Originally, there was no road between Shibao and Xincheng, but after transporting supplies and people moving around, a dirt road that was not so flat was found after a long time.

The carriage was bumpy and bumpy, which made Ding Wei regret not riding a horse.

After finally making it to the outside of the new city, where the craftsmen temporarily settled down, Ding Weitong Danggui's face was already pale.

Originally, no matter how they dressed up, they didn't look like those tall and thick guys, but now they looked even weaker.

Chen Guanshi and Zhao Guanshi were about to find someone to serve their master, but they were stopped by Ding Wei.

"Go and do your work. Let's walk around casually. If there is something to do, people will let you know."

Chen Guanshi and Zhao Guanshi were a little hesitant, but seeing that Danggui seemed to have recovered a lot, they finally left in response.

Leaving Ding Wei and Dang Gui to look around the simple yards, they found a yard with clothes hanging at the door still dripping and walked in.

A woman greeted her with red and swollen eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you..."

"Sister-in-law, we are new carpenters on the island. We couldn't stand it because of seasickness and motion sickness. We came here to beg for a drink."

"Ah, then come in, I'll make you a bowl of salted sugar water, that thing is the most effective in curing the heat."

The woman was kind and enthusiastic, so she quickly settled the two of them to sit down, turned around and went to a small thatched shed next to her, and brought out two bowls of water.

Ding Wei and Danggui didn't dislike them either, and drinking it all in one gulp made the woman feel closer to them.

"The two little brothers don't seem to be very old, and they don't look like children from poor families. Why did they come to work on the island?"

"The family is in ruins, and it's all about finding a way to survive. I heard that the island has high wages, and the owner's family is good. If the household registration is registered, the tax is also very low. It's really a good place to live. That's why our brothers came here."

Ding Wei drank the water, recovered a little bit of energy, and responded with a rough voice.

The woman nodded, "Your brother is right here, the master on this island is really good, and he never deducts everyone's food and wages, but... well, the household registration is a bit..."

"What's wrong with the household registration?" Ding Wei was very puzzled, "I heard that as long as you work here, work hard, and don't steal or do bad things, you will have a household registration."

"That was before. Yesterday, my man went to ask Guanshi Cao's nephew. He heard that it costs 20 taels of silver to settle in. To tell you the truth, my man has only been here for less than a month, and he only got four taels of salary. , where to find the remaining 16 taels, besides, the in-laws in my hometown are not in good health, and they still wait for money to buy medicine every month."

"No, I came here at Shibao Wharf, and the people there say it's easy to register."

Ding Wei frowned, and said angrily, "I knew it would be better to stay at Shibao Wharf, and I heard that Xincheng is better."

The woman also sighed, "Perhaps Guan here is a bit deceitful..."

Ding Wei glanced at Danggui, and Danggui hurriedly urged, "Brother, let's report quickly, I'm afraid it will cause trouble if it's late."

"Then thank you sister-in-law for the sugar water. I'll thank you sister-in-law after we brothers settle down."

Ding Wei got up as soon as she spoke, and the lady quickly waved her hand, "No, what are two bowls of sugar water worth?"

Ding Wei and Dang Gui bid farewell to the wife and went out, feeling a little depressed.Although they would not naively think that Taoyuan Island is really a paradise-like paradise without disputes, there was Li Guier who was beheaded before, but a few months later came out another one who dared to settle under the banner of the public. Annoyed and discouraged.

"Master, don't be angry, I'll check it out, if it's true, then..."

"What's the matter, did you kill him? Killing Li Gui that day was a tragedy, but there are still people like this. Money is touching, let's go for a walk."

Ding Wei sighed, and went to the new city with Angelica.

There are more than 1000 craftsmen living here in Xincheng, together with women who cook and a small number of family members, there are 2000 people, which is almost the same as that of Shibao.

For the sake of safety, the first thing to be built is the city wall, which is a full three feet high and one foot wide at the top of the wall. Countless bunkers were built to facilitate the protection of the archers when foreign enemies invaded, and to provide a shelter for the soldiers patrolling and guarding. place.

The four walls of the city were made of large pieces of bluestone. Back then, the master craftsman was worried that there was nothing to stick to the caulking. Ding Wei was also annoyed that he couldn't remember the method of making cement, but he didn't expect the natives to be of great help.A kind of vine in the mountain turns into excellent cutin after being boiled. Two stones are bonded together, and they cannot be separated by fire or water.

Needless to say, such a good thing was adopted immediately.

The four walls and four gates were guarded by more than a dozen soldiers. The west gate through which Ding Wei's master and servant passed, the captain who guarded the gate was a veteran of the Western Army, so he naturally recognized Ding Wei.So, no matter how Ding Wei refused, he insisted on bringing two soldiers to protect him.

Ding Wei had no choice but to change from a new craftsman on the island to a small steward sent by Shibao.

As the two masters said, most of the construction in the city has been completed.

The entire city is divided into four major parts. The houses in the northern city are the most spacious and luxurious. In the future, Ding Wei's family, Ding family, Chu family, Fang family, and generals' families such as the Wang family will live there. Cheng Dayou and other family members in charge , and even first-class citizens who have made great contributions to the island can stay.

Dongcheng is the place where troops are stationed. There is a school ground, a large camp, and a granary. The soldiers who are on duty to guard the city on weekdays, as well as daily training are conducted here.

Nancheng is the place where ordinary craftsmen and islanders live. They are almost all small courtyards with two or three entrances. They are very neat and clean. There are rows of houses and spacious streets. Not to mention searching, in the future, Ding Wei plans to initiate some evaluations such as several star families, which will slowly affect family harmony, helping others, living thriftly, respecting the elderly, and being friendly to neighbors. As long as a good atmosphere is formed, the whole people will supervise Not to mention how much the moral quality has improved, at least the law and order will be much better.
