Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 1338 Consummation (2)
The caravan travels back and forth between several cities in the Northland, transporting the characteristics of each city to the surrounding cities, earning money for running errands, and getting more from less is also a lot of money.

The front alley is the labor market of Peishui. Many craftsmen have been waiting for a long time. The surroundings are messy. There are some well-dressed masters who go to pick people, and they will be surrounded soon. Everyone is scrambling to recommend themselves. a sum.

Qingli can definitely ask the soldiers from the northern battalion to help, but the military situation is urgent recently, and a war may break out at any time, and she is afraid of delaying the training of the soldiers.The men in Daqin are physically strong and can work quickly, and the labor is cheaper than in Dazhou. They only need to pay ten copper coins for a day's work.

"Madam, we don't need copper coins. We can use pork, mutton, or rice. Our brothers come out to do the work, which is to add a dish to the New Year's Eve dinner."

A tall, burly and honest man rubbed his hands. It was cold, and his padded jacket opened, and tangled cotton came out from inside. It seemed that life at home was not going well.

He was accompanied by seven or eight other men, all of whom were his own brothers and cousins. The whole family had no separation and came out to look for work.Generally, there are only one or two people in a family. These people want to be together and not to be separated. Seeing the people around them being taken away by the fancy, the brothers scratched their heads anxiously.

"Yes, we appoint those who can do the job well! You are satisfied!"

The brothers nodded together, and then they were embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Seeing the clumsy tongue of the brothers, Qingli felt that they were quite honest, so she nodded in agreement.After all, the yard is not my own home, so I don't need to be too meticulous, as long as it is generally passable, after all, I have to live in it for a month or so.

Leading people back to the yard, Qingli provided materials, and the brothers started to work.Qingli observed for a whole morning, then nodded, she was not in vain, she was quick at work and able to endure hardships.During the noon break, she provided snacks and tea, and several of them ate two or three pieces. The rest was carefully wrapped in oiled paper and wanted to take it home.

During the chat, Qingli learned that in the remote mountain villages of Daqin, there have always been more men than women, so it is common for several brothers to marry wives together. There are three brothers, only married one woman and gave birth to two. baby.

This kind of situation also occurs in remote places in Dazhou. It is not because of the ratio of men to women, but because the man's family is too poor to marry a daughter-in-law. With all his family's efforts, he can barely get enough gifts for one person, and the rest has to To be single, it is better to marry a woman and share it among brothers.

There are two little babies, so whose children are they?Qing Li twitched the corners of her mouth, this is a serious question.

In the afternoon, Qingli left the small courtyard and returned to the camp in the north of the city.Yesterday I received a letter from Kyoto saying that Shui Lingli had arrived. Now her belly is like a ball and she is waiting for labor. I went to the imperial physician to take a pulse. They all said it was a boy.

Successive victories in the Northern Territory have made the situation in Kyoto more and more stable, so the status of Chunyu's family has risen even higher. Seeing that the emperor has not issued an order for marriage, many officials are all eyeing the new Jingzhao Yin Mo Zigui, such a young talent with real power , there are [-] capital city defense troops under his command, with Chunyu's family as his backer, even at the risk of being looked down upon by the emperor, he still has to fight for it.

Recently, the daughter of an official family in Kyoto has frequently held poetry meetings and plum appreciation meetings. There was a brave one who blocked the gate of Jingzhaoyin Yamen. A few days ago, a small incident happened. An official daughter lost her purse After that, he ran to the gate of Jingzhaoyin Yamen to beat the drums, hoping to take this opportunity to meet Mo Zigui, but he was thrown into prison for disturbing the order of the Yamen.

For a while, the people in Kyoto had different opinions. Originally, drumming at the gate of the yamen was set up for people with grievances. Maintain order in front of the drumming at night and let everyone wait in line.

Of course, there will also be people who are arrogant and will not leave any room for affairs, and will not give face to other officials' ladies.Nian is a first-time offender, a few reprimands are enough, but she is thrown into prison, how can this young lady have face in the future?
Regarding the marriage between Mo Zigui and Bai Kexin, the Mo family did not respond at all. The fourth aunt of Qingli, Mrs. Chen, saw that the wife of the patriarch of the Bai family was very cold, and never mentioned it. This matter spread to the ears of the Queen Mother. Here, Empress Dowager Bai was more resentful, blaming the Mo family for not paying attention, but fortunately she was more generous, and she couldn't force it when she thought about the fate of her children.

"Husband, my parents said that they will go back to the capital in the spring of the next year. Do you think I should come with you?"

Qingli tilted her head, resting her chin on one hand, staring blankly at the hot tea in front of her.The parents-in-law must ask her opinion on this matter. After becoming a daughter-in-law, no matter how wanton her life is, she still has to take her parents-in-law's wishes into account, Qingli is not sure.

Chunyu Wen put down the cotton curtain and walked in with big strides. His facial expression froze for a moment, and then he said in a hoarse voice, "According to the situation, we will soon attack the flood control. My goal is to attack the water within a year. Enter the Great Qin Capital."

Qingli nodded, Chunyuyan didn't give any advice, but he definitely didn't want her to go back.Forget it, this distressing problem can be postponed until the next year to solve it.

The Laba Festival is over, and the New Year's Day is getting closer and closer. Qingli calculates that in the past few years, it seems that she has changed places every year, following the footsteps of the army in the north of the city. Ever since she got engaged to the devil Chunyu, she started running east The life in Xidian has continued until now.

The work of the brothers was meticulous, exceeding Qingli's expectations. Two of them knew how to do carpentry and helped build some practical furniture with wood. Among them was Qingli's favorite sofa, which she asked Mammy Yu to use with Maiya The cotton is thickened and made into a cushion, which is very comfortable to sit on.

The Goryeo paper in every room in the yard was replaced with new ones, and some new pots and pans were added to the kitchen. In the room entering the yard, Qingli specially painted a picture of jasmine flowers and hung them in the inner room as a gift to Wen Shi. A screen and a dressing table are prepared.The quilts, window screens, and door curtains were all replaced with new ones. In her space, she found a few flowers and plants that were not afraid of the cold, and transplanted them into flower pots as decorations. Seeing the vibrant plants in winter can open up her mood a lot.

On the second day after the arrangement was completed, Qingli and Chunyu Wen moved in. She asked someone to deliver a letter to her parents-in-law who were still in Mojia Village, and agreed to celebrate the New Year together in Peishui.This year is different from previous years. Qingli is 15 years old and Jiji, and she is going to consummate the house with Chunyu Wen. The two arranged the window screens of the new house in bright red, and pasted red happy words on the windows, waiting for that day to come.

After Laba, the temperature dropped sharply, and there was a heavy snowfall in Peishui City.After the snow, the sky was blue and the air became extraordinarily fresh. Qingli used to walk around the yard in the morning and take a deep breath.

Someone knocked on the door outside the small courtyard, Qingli thought it was Bai Kexin who had gone out and returned, she opened the door, and there stood a tall man in black with a veil on his face.

"Dolma, let me come to see you and tell you some good news!"
