Chapter 402

This is the real version of "Shangfang jiewa".

The craftsman didn't bring a ladder. The young man stepped on a chair to climb up. After he took off a few tiles, he called to his master, "master, it's big enough."

His master was at the bottom, commanding another disciple to pass bricks to him. It seemed that he was going to start making chimneys.

Shi Xiaorui went over and asked, "so fast? Don't you mean two or three days? "

The craftsman replied: "the estimated time before was the whole time that it could be used. Now it's time for the light to be built up, and it can only be used when the mud is dry. After it can be used, we have to try to see if it will smoke, and the places where the smoke leaks have to be repaired, so it takes a long time."

Shi Xiaorui was explained by the craftsman. He felt that he would listen to others' arrangement honestly in this aspect in the future. Some experts said that it would be a few days. Anyway, what Lu Shao said to them at the beginning was that it would be calculated according to the whole completed work, not separately according to the time.

Lu Xilan just looked in the room for a while, but the craftsmen kept repeating the mechanical operation of building bricks and plastering mud. After looking at it for a while, she found it boring. She had already left, and only Jin Miao remained in place to watch the craftsmen work.

Looking at the serious expression on Jin Miao's small face, Yu Qingzhan also finds it interesting. He whispers to Shi Xiaorui: "the new child in your family is very serious."

Shi Xiaorui agreed: "it's really obedient."

After thinking about it, Shi Xiaorui suddenly asked Yu Qingzhan, "where have you read your book? If the progress is fast, why don't you teach Jin Miao how to read? "

Although Jin Miao is a little older, he is slower than Lu Xilan and Lu Ming in his study. He can't study together. He can only start another class to let Shan Xia and Xin Meng have time to tell him something. Since Yu Qingzhan is here now, it's better to give her this task, which can kill some time.

Yu Qingzhan was surprised: "am I? But I don't learn much. I'm very slow. "

Shi Xiaorui thinks it's a good idea: "no matter how slow you learn, you can always recognize more words than Jin Miao. Now Jin Miao doesn't want to learn any sages' books, just teach him basic character recognition. It's very simple."

Yu Qingzhan thought about it, a little excited: "you say so, then I really teach him?"

Shi Xiaorui said: "you can teach, can you teach the child bad? Just don't learn too much every day, so that he won't be able to remember it for a while

After arranging two people at once, Shi Xiaorui is also relieved. Even after Yu Qingzhan's recovery, he had better keep a happy and relaxed mood, so as to achieve his goal as soon as possible.

However, it is better to think about giving birth after Chen Wang's army is completely wiped out and the matter is settled.

The next day, it was a rare sunny day. Shi Xiaorui invited Yu Qingzhan to go out for a stroll. She didn't have to buy anything. It was good to relax.

The streets are not depressed. The shops are basically open, and the hawkers without fixed stalls are still carrying things through the streets. At first glance, it looks no different from before.

But if you look at it carefully, you will find that the price rise has brought about a great impact. The atmosphere of the whole street is not as happy as it used to be. There are a few sad people coming out of several rice shops.

"The price of rice has gone up again."

"If it goes up, the family can't even afford Chen rice."

Shi Xiaorui and Yu Qingzhan are close to each other. They hear these men's complaints in a low voice.

Shi Xiaorui asked Yu Qingzhan, "what's the situation in the county?"

Yu Qingzhan shook his head: "I'm not sure, but once when Xu Xin came back, she was very angry. It seemed that some grain shop mixed the stale rice with the moldy rice, which made people eat bad."

Shi Xiaorui was surprised: "how did you get to this level? There is no grain shortage this year. How could the situation be so bad? "

Yu Qingzhan shakes his head: "I'm not very clear. Xu Xin seldom says this at home. I hear it all in pieces. He worries about it every day. He says it's the county magistrate, but many big families in the county are not willing to listen to him. They don't break the law, so they can't arrest people, can they?"

Shi Xiaorui comforted her: "how many years has Xu Xin been in the county? Many of those big families' ancestors are in the county. They may not be able to bear them for a while, but they will get better later. "

Yu Qingzhan said: "I hope so. Over the years, I only see him getting thinner and never get fat. As a county magistrate, I'm afraid he's not as comfortable as someone else's hotel manager. Every time he passes by, he smiles."

"They are all in business. How can they show their customers their faces? Don't think about it. Have some confidence in Xu Xin. "

However, although the number of customers in shops selling ordinary daily necessities is a little less, the business of shops selling high-end accessories, satins and ready-made clothes is still as good as ever.

For example, they are passing a "pearl jade hall".

Shi Xiaorui said: "I always feel that the name is a little familiar. Have we been to this store?"

Yu Qingzhan was even less impressed: "this shop is very expensive at first sight. Sister Xiaorui, we'd better not go in."

Shi Xiaorui is not satisfied: "do you have to buy things when you go in? There is no business like this. Let's go in and have a look to increase their popularity. Don't be nervous. Go and have a look."

Shi Xiaorui pulls Yu Qingzhan into the shop.

The decoration in the shop is very elegant. On the walls around the shop, there are not only landscape pictures of flowers, plants, water birds, animals, but also detailed pictures of ladies. These ladies have different shapes and wearing styles. The only thing that is the same is that they are all dressed in luxurious clothes. The jewelry on their heads and the Yingluo on their bodies are very complicated, but they are well matched and do not appear vulgar.

In the center of the lobby on the first floor, there are two huge pictures of beautiful women facing each other, almost of the same height. These two paintings are particularly meticulous. Although they don't fill in shadows like oil paintings, they look more like real people, they are more realistic in the Chinese classical painting style which pays more attention to expression.

The one on the left is a beautiful lady in palace dress. She is about 1.6 meters tall, with apricot eyes, peach cheeks and elegant posture. She is wearing a long skirt with brilliant gold and red embroidery. She has a bun on her head, a phoenix hairpin inlaid with precious stones, a red gold hairpin and a red gold jewel wreath on her chest. She looks like a fairy.

The one on the right is also painted with a fairy like woman. She is delicate, with willow eyebrows and red phoenix eyes. She is wearing a two foot high double maiden bun, with four big hairpins inlaid with gems and ornamented with a few simple bead hairpins. She is wearing an imperial wide sleeve fairy skirt. The sleeves and skirt are deliberately widened and lengthened, which makes her look like a weak dress, There is a long silk drape between the arms. The silk drape, sleeves and skirt are rising slightly to the right, as if they are going to take advantage of the wind.
