take a wife to support the family

Chapter 367

Qingsong was repairing a house for her marriage, and in a blink of an eye she had built a big frame, and only had to lay bricks in the house, lower the beams to the floor, lay out furniture, and buy bed curtains and quilts.

The furniture in the interior is bulky. Shopkeeper Liu came here and said to Qingsong: "The rules of the capital, when you get married, the bride's family has to dowry, and it has to match the size of the husband's house. In two days, I will come to your house to measure the size."

Qingsong blushed and said: "Father-in-law, if the house is repaired, it will be ugly without furniture. I have already ordered the furniture with a carpenter I know. Why don't you build a good bed for us? It doesn't matter."

When his family married a daughter-in-law, there was no reason to wait for the daughter-in-law to use the furniture. Could it be that if Yueniang didn't marry over, he would have no furniture for a day?A man can't be so soft and hard.

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while and said, "Your worries are justified." Shopkeeper Liu went back to discuss with Yueniang, and built a good canopy bed with her.

Liu Sanping recruited two apprentices to help with the work. For the furniture of Song Haonian's family and Li Qingsong's family, he has been doing this work for more than half a year this year, and the family has no worries about food and clothing.

The original furniture of Li’s house was old and out of shape, the bed was just a few pieces of broken wooden planks, Qingsong took the wooden planks down and built a latrine at the back of the house, the top should be thatched roof, lest the people in the hut would get soaked in rainy and snowy weather drenched.

The bench was also missing arms and legs, and it was rickety. Instead of keeping it for use, it would be better to use it as firewood and burn it.All in all, all the furniture in the Li family had to be rebuilt, which was another big expense.

Qingsong said to Lily when she was free: "The only thing we can use at home is the small round bench."

Lily froze for a moment, then remembered: the bench was no higher than her calves, the stool was as big as a plate, the three legs were thick and stable, and the black paint on it was shiny. When she was young, Carpenter Li carpenter loved her and specially gave it to her. Made such a bench to coax her to play.

Later, when Lily grew older, the benches belonged to Yingchun and Lamei, and in the end it was naturally Qingsong's favorite bench when she was young.

Lily said enthusiastically, "Don't lose that one, bring it back, and I'll play with it for Ruzhen."

The furniture in the house is really big, and the little doll loves such small and exquisite things, so I definitely like it.

Qingsong nodded: "Okay, I'll clean it up and bring it here tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhu said: "You still give away all the ideas at home?"

Qingsong said unhappily: "Mother, you said that everything in our house is mine, so why can't I make the decision? How much is a bench worth? What's wrong with giving it to Ruzhen? Not to mention the furniture, I will give it to Ruzhen when I earn money later. Flowers."

A few words blocked Zhu's seven orifices, but this was her beloved youngest son, who could not be beaten or scolded, so he got sulking from the sidelines.

Baihe asked Qingsong casually: "This time the furniture is knocked down, do you still have any money?"

Qingsong made a calculation in her heart, nodded and said: "It's still enough."

The Li family has such a small family background that it is really useless to use flowers. Qingsong knows that Lily is now guarding the gold and silver mountains, but she is unwilling to tell the elder sister this: first, the gold and silver mountains are all given by Xinwang's mansion. It's not easy for his elder sister to be a daughter-in-law to Xin Wang's Mansion. If he wants to hold back, maybe the whole family will end badly; secondly, the man who is his top family, his married sister occasionally helps him, so how can he rely on his sister for everything? them.

The money of other people's family belongs to other people's family, and one's own family should not be greedy.When going to the capital, Qingsong is much more stable: even Mu San knows that Mu Wangfu will be the property of Yining in the future, and he is unwilling to take advantage of it, let alone Li Qingsong.

Qingsong had no difficulty, and Baihe didn't think about forcing money into him, and said with a smile, "You've grown up now."

"That's right, I'm going to marry a wife, get married this year, and give birth to a big fat boy next year!" Qingsong said excitedly, "It won't be long before I can run around with Zhenzhen."

Song Haonian laughed: "You have a good idea!"

Qingsong dreamed happily for a while, and wanted to run to Zhu's house and tell his mother: "I have enough money, don't ask my sister for money, be careful and I will annoy you later."

Zhu's finger poked Qingsong's forehead: "Why are you so stupid! Your sister guards the family property, and it won't be used up in a few lifetimes, so what do you do?"

Qingsong said: "Mother, take a look at the daily necessities you wear all over your body. There are many things that you can't buy even if you have money, but if you can buy them, our family can't save money for half a lifetime."

Especially the pigeon blood ruby ​​on his mother's forehead, he and Mu San have seen it before, at least it is worth half of Taiping County, his sister put it on her forehead carelessly, and his mother is so dumbfounded that she wears it on a hot day Wipe the forehead and refuse to let it go, look at the sweat!

"Elder Sister gave you these things, aren't you happy? Eldest Sister is willing to give it to you, then take it. If she is not willing, you are not allowed to grab it for me. Otherwise, if the eldest brother-in-law turns against her, who will get it?"

In Zhu's heart, no matter what, she doesn't believe that Song Haonian will turn his back on him: At the beginning, he emptied all his wealth to marry a big girl, so he didn't turn his back on him like this, now that he is so rich, how can he become stingy?
Qingsong couldn't help rolling her eyes: "You always think about it. Eldest sister has only been married for more than half a year. Has elder brother-in-law been with our family, and eldest sister has visited you at her mother's house? If it weren't for the better life in the future, we would always move again. It has long since chilled you to the point of refusing to recognize this relative."

Seeing Mrs. Zhu's disbelief, Qingsong said again: "If you don't talk about anyone else, just look at Lao Song's house. That's the house of the eldest brother-in-law's adoptive parents. Isn't there no relationship now? Earlier he said that they were his own parents, so he turned his face likewise. "

Song Haonian is affectionate, he is not a fool, if you treat him like a fat sheep, he will show his fangs and bite you to death immediately.It is reasonable to exchange sincerity with sincerity. Qingsong can do it, but Zhu Shi can't, so don't let others hold you back.

Mrs. Zhu was willing to listen to Qingsong's words, and then complained to his son: "Your father is a scumbag, but he has a good life. If you have to do work, you don't want to do it."

Carpenter Li often hangs out with the guards in the West Backyard these days, just because it is quiet there, without Mrs. Zhu nagging in his ears.Li Bamboo Carpenter couldn't stay idle, so he asked Qingsong to drag some bamboos to him every few days, find a secluded place to chop and weave them, and made many small baskets and gadgets, which he sold at fairs in his spare time for some money. Buy all the sugar for Ruzhen Yuanyuan to eat.

The children were still young, so they ran hand in hand to the west backyard to watch Carpenter Li weave bamboo when they had time these two days.

Mrs. Zhu wore silk and satin, and several gemstone rings on her hands. She almost wanted to make up for all the sins she had suffered in her previous life. She looked down on Li's shabby attitude: "Daughter and son-in-law are so rich, and you are more like your village. They're embarrassing."

Song Haonian and his wife didn't feel ashamed, but Li Bamboo Craftsman started weaving bamboo ware again, and he was full of energy.He didn't worry about making a living, so the bamboo wares were made very beautifully, and he became famous in no time.

There is a person in the county who loves bamboo wares very much, so he buys them along the way, and specifically agrees on what patterns he wants.

Ruzhen wanted to learn everything at this age, Carpenter Li saw that he couldn't help him, so he ground some smooth bamboo threads and gave them to him, and he and Yuanyuan twisted them into two messy knots.

Mrs. Chang was startled when she saw it, and hurriedly went to look for Lily: "What if my real brother loses his temperament and wants to learn how to be a bamboo craftsman and a carpenter? Don't blame me for being fast-talking, lady. The real brother is the blood of the Tian family..."

Learning these things is a bit of a loss of identity.

The son's studies are a major issue, and the husband and wife should discuss it together. Lily does not make decisions by herself, so please come to Song Haonian to talk. When Mrs. Chang said this, Song Haonian laughed: "It doesn't matter, Uncle Huang loved carpentry the most when he was young. , if you really want to learn and study, can't our family afford him?"

Not to mention Emperor Tianqi's brilliance and martial arts, even if he learned to be like Mu San, it would not be a loss.

Mrs. Chang had nothing to say, thinking that the sons and daughters of the phoenix and the dragon don't need to rely on the imperial examinations to get promoted after all, just study if you love to learn, and just go astray if your heart and sex go astray.

Who knows that Ruzhen has no long-term nature. I got bored watching Li's bamboo craftsman weave bamboo for two days, and went to see Lan Niu learning embroidery with Xiao'e. Mrs. Chang wanted to tell Lily, but she was afraid that she would get the same answer as last time. Stay here, suffer for a few days, and see what Ruzhen will do.

How can you really learn things at this age?However, the embroidery was rare, so after a few days, she put it down and went back to tie the red string with Xing'er to form a circle of flower-turning rope.His hands are small and clumsy, together with Yuanyuan and Xing'er they can't beat Xing'er, remember to tie the flower rope into a knot, which can't be untied for half a day, so he burst into tears.

Xing'er laughed and fell on the kang, her cheeks were ashamed as she said, "Shame."

There were two tears on Ruzhen's cheeks, looking at the knot and worrying, Xing'er coaxed him: "Let's find another piece of rope and turn it over." When the new silk rope was brought, Ruzhen still held on to the old one, wanting to untie it wholeheartedly. That pimple.

Xing'er had no choice but to drag Yuanyuan with one hand and lead Ruzhen to look for Baihe with the other: "Auntie, Ruzhen is being stubborn again, I can't be more stubborn than him."

"Oh, my silly son!" Lily laughed when she saw this appearance, and thought for a while and found a jade scorpion from the dressing table. The jade scorpion is crescent-shaped, with one end wide and the other pointed. It was originally from the ancient Qin and Han Dynasties. It is used to untie the belt, and the tail is attached to the end of the jade pendant as decoration.

According to legend, this jade scorpion is still an old thing from the Han Dynasty. It is not known when it was collected in the palace, and it was rewarded layer by layer, and finally fell into the hands of Lily.

If Lily had obtained such a thing in her previous life, she would have wished to put it in a museum as an offering, but now that she has seen it a lot, she doesn't think it is too expensive, so she will show it to her son first.

Ruzhen moved his small round bench, held the jade pen and lowered his head to untie the rope, the two elder sisters helped him, especially Xinger, who had to help Ruzhen untie the rope with great effort, and also made him feel that it was his own fault, I have to let him poke and hurt myself, it's really messy, it's more tiring than running outside for a day.

Fortunately, Ruzhen doesn't make any noise, so she unties the rope and wants to go to play elsewhere, Yuanyuan is more obedient, and just follows Ruzhen.Lily looked at the sky, asked Mrs. Chang to take the two children, and taught them a few lines of the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classic.

Myolie doesn't come to the house every day to look after the children, she has to learn homework, the book that Lily brought back from the capital to the girls' school is just for her, even the copybooks are written by Princess Changping and Wang Xin, and given to the Ministry of Industry An engraved block, the one specially for female students to copy.
