The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 23
The materials for building houses are continuously transported from outside the village. Bricks, stones, black tiles... are piled up on the foundation, and the house will be built on the sixth day of the new year.Looking at the piles of materials, the villagers didn't know how big the house Tang Dai's family was going to build, so they said that her family had made a lot of money, talking, praising, and jealous.

On this day, the sixth day of the lunar new year arrived, and it was the right day to get up. Li Shi, who had been recuperating in bed for a few days, also got up early in the morning and got busy.The third uncle of the grandfather's family also brought several uncles to help.

According to the auspicious time that Mr. Kandi is optimistic about, the altar is set up, incense is offered to sacrifice, and worship the land, mountain god, wealth god... and other gods from all walks of life.Firecrackers were set off, and a circle of gods bowed down. With the support of her eldest brother, Tang Dai moved the first shovel of soil.Everything was successfully completed, and everyone who came came up to congratulate and congratulate Qiqi on the success of his new home.

It is lively and lively here, but the ancestral house is deserted, because Tang Dalang failed the exam, and the scholar did not pass the exam.Tang Dalang hid in the house and let Tang Qian's family do his best, Tang Zhao's coaxed him to not open the door, only heard a "pop" sound inside, and a good inkstone broke again.

The two shook their heads and put down their hands knocking on the door.Listening to the sound of firecrackers in the distance, Tang Qian felt unwilling, put her hands on her hips and began to scold the nemesis of the family's unfilial piety, so that her eldest grandson, Xiucai, failed the exam.Tang Zhaoshi wiped her tears and went back to her room, feeling resentful for the first time, and she didn't know who she was resenting in her heart?

No matter how much you complain, it will not affect whether you should complain or not.

After lunch, only three uncles were left to watch on the foundation. Tang Dai looked at the construction team from afar, who was in full swing.Tang Jue happily ran around there for a few laps, and was carried into the house by Mrs. Li to help with work.

At dinner in the evening, Tang Dai proposed to her family that she wanted to study medicine with a teacher, but Mrs. Li disagreed, thinking that it would be useless for a girl to study medicine.The third uncle and the eldest aunt agreed very much, and they all advised Mrs. Li.It is said that Tang Dai is smart, and she can definitely learn it.And there is a doctor at home, which is also convenient. If there is a headache, there is no need to worry.The main reason is that Tang Dai is interested in learning and will definitely try her best to learn.Tang Dai also assured Li Shi desperately that she would study hard.

Mrs. Li, who agreed, turned around and worried that Mr. Li would not accept disciples.Tang Dai said that Uncle Li was a good friend of her father's during her lifetime, and she would definitely accept him for her father's sake.And because he is smart, he is a good apprentice who is rare in the world, and Uncle Li is definitely willing to accept him.Seeing Tang Dai's appearance, Li Shi put away her worries and decided to accompany Tang Dai to Li Langzhong's house after dinner.

After packing up two good snacks and hugging a dumpling of champion red, the two headed to Li Langzhong's house.

Li Langzhong also saw the world outside in his early years, and married a maid from a wealthy family.It's just that there is only one woman under her knees, so she is a little thin.The family is a doctor, and the daughter-in-law is diligent and thrifty in managing the house. She is tactful, and her childhood is also top-notch in the village.When the two of Mrs. Li arrived, the three of them were having dinner.

"Sister Li, chick, why are you two here? Come in and sit down." Langzhong Li and his daughter-in-law hurriedly stood up to say hello.He glanced at the presents in their hands again.

"Brother Li, I have something to do with you. You eat first, and we'll talk after you're done." The two sat down, Mrs. Li asked Mr. Li to eat, and turned around to chat with Mr. Li's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yao, to show their closeness.

Li Jing, Li Langzhong's five-year-old daughter, lived up to her name, and after politely greeting Tang Dai and Mrs. Li, she sat there to eat quietly.From time to time, she stared at Tang Dai with her big watery eyes. Tang Dai thought the little guy was very cute, so she also winked at her quietly.After eating, he wiped his little mouth with a handkerchief, and the little guy raised his apple face and said to Li Langzhong: "Daddy, I like this young lady. Can I play with her in the future?"

Before Li Langzhong could speak, Tang Dai smiled and took her little hand, and took out a red butterfly-shaped bead flower from her pocket, which she bought with her second sister's birthday present last time.It is very bright and beautiful, and it is placed in her hand.

The little guy looked at Zhuhua, and immediately looked at his father with bright eyes. Seeing Li Langzhong nodding, he happily thanked Sister Dai for taking the Zhuhua and putting it on his head.Tang Dai took it from her hand again and helped her put it on her head.The little guy smugly touched the flowers on his head, then ran to his mother and froze for a while.Everyone laughed when they saw it, and the little guy squinted his eyes and leaned against Tang Dai's arms and laughed together.

Then Li Shi and Li Langzhong mentioned that Tang Dai wanted to study medicine with him. They thought it would take a lot of effort, but Li Langzhong just agreed with Shen Ling.

"It's a good thing that you are willing to learn. It's just collecting herbs and drying them. Making medicine is very hard work, so you have to persevere!" Li Langzhong said to Tang Dai
Tang Dai immediately expressed that no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future, she would definitely persevere.He knelt down quickly, kowtowed his head and called him master, offered tea and bowed to his teacher, and brought tea to Yao's family, and changed his name to master.

Li Langzhong accepted the gift happily and called Li Jing over.Say, don't you like Miss Sister?She will be your senior sister from now on, the little guy smiled and called out senior sister!

Because of Tang Dai's reputation as a hard-working man, Yao shi felt a little uncomfortable and was not very happy.Seeing that Li Langzhong agreed, and her daughter fell in love with Tang Dai again, it was hard to object, so she had to give up.But I have some doubts in my heart.

When the matter was settled, Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye and went home with Tang Dai.On the way, Mrs. Li and Tang Dai talked about it, and felt that Mr. Li's promise was too straightforward.Tang Dai just laughed and said, who would not want such a smart daughter like you?Li Shi looked at the little girl who had started to love herself again, and rolled her eyes.Tang Dai changed the subject.

And Mrs. Yao was also asking Li Langzhong. Li Langzhong patted his daughter's head and said: You know, I have been dealing with medicine all year round, and my health is broken. Jing'er will be alone from now on. It's rare for her to fall in love with a chick!

Yao shi rolled his eyes, and the little tension in his heart faded away.After all, it was from a rich family, and she immediately understood what Li Langzhong meant.Jing'er is a girl, and she has no brothers or sisters, they cannot take care of her for the rest of her life.

After accepting Tang Dai as an apprentice, Jing'er will have a senior sister in the future, and the Tang family will have two older brothers and one older sister, which will invisibly help her.And according to her observations, Tang Dai must be extraordinary in the future, earning money to build a house for her family in a short period of time.In the future, I will definitely be able to rely on Jinger!

It's not that Li Langzhong himself didn't have the idea of ​​accepting apprentices before, but he never found one. Since Tang Dai asked, and he is the daughter of a good friend, he just happened to go along with it!
Tang Feng brothers and sisters were also happy for Tang Dai when they heard that Li Langzhong agreed.Tang Dai felt that the matter of studying medicine was settled, and she had to open the tofu shop first, and Changqing Restaurant had to go to see the hot pot and chili. After making arrangements, she could go to the master's house with peace of mind.
