Chapter 457 What more can I ask for?
Wen Shengxi saw this and hurriedly stood in front of Gu Qingqing, looking up at Zhao Bei in dissatisfaction, "You, you scoundrel, if you want to find a wife, go find one, why are you looking for my sister?"
"Because my sister-in-law promised to introduce me to a wife. Look, your brother-in-law too, if you don't believe me, ask him." Zhao Bei saw Wen Wuyan also coming out of the inner courtyard, so he signaled to Wen Shengxi, and at the same time wondered why she was so jumpy.
"Sister." Wen Shengxi turned his head and looked at Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing raised her head and rubbed her head, then said with a smile, "I promised Zhao Bei before that I would introduce him to a wife if I had the chance in the future. It's just that you weren't here yet."
"See, I didn't lie to you." Zhao Bei said proudly.
Wen Shengxi saw that her elder sister had said so, so she didn't know why she suddenly became unhappy. In the end, she could only attribute it to the fact that he relied on her elder sister to give him a wife.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glare at him again.
Wen Wuyan ignored their fight and looked at Zhao Bei and asked, "I didn't see you in the bamboo house when I came here just now. Why are you here now?"
"Brother Wuyan, Brother Dong and I were just working on the bamboo in the back, and we saw you coming back from a distance. Brother Dong specially asked me to come through."
Zhao Bei took two steps towards Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing and continued, "Some time ago, we wanted to buy bricks. Brother Dong said that we should build three main rooms for each of Zhao Xi's three families first. But my sister-in-law stopped us and said that with the number of people you have at the kiln, it would be cheaper if you go there to buy bricks. So when I saw you come back just now, Brother Dong asked me to come back and ask if you are free. If you are, come with us to buy bricks tomorrow."
After listening to what Zhao Bei said, Wen Wuyan subconsciously turned his head to look at Qingqing and asked, "Is he familiar with the brick-selling business?"
How come he doesn't know that he is familiar with that place?
But since it was Qingqing who said it, she must have her own intentions. Wen Wuyan doesn't need to know what Qingqing's intentions are, he just needs to cooperate with Qingqing at this time.
He nodded to Zhao Bei and said, "I can have a word with the boss there. Since my family wants to build a house, let's go to the brick factory."
"Okay, Brother Wuyan, I'll go back now. They're still busy over there so I'll go over and help. We'll go there early tomorrow morning." Zhao Bei ran two steps and suddenly stopped and said to Gu Qingqing, "Sister-in-law, please lend us the mule cart tomorrow!"
"Hahaha, didn't I tell Brother Dong before that the mule cart is under your control. Use it if you want. No need to tell me every time."
"Got it, Brother Wuyan, I'm leaving now."
Zhao Bei came quickly and left quickly. After confirming the matter with a few words, he ran out quickly.
When Wen Shengxi saw the annoying Zhao Bei leaving, she skipped over to Yang Xing and looked at the tiny duck feathers being cooked in the pot with wood ash added.
She said it was duck feathers, but my sister insisted it was duck down.
It’s just duck down, it’s from ducks anyway.
Gu Qingqing walked over to take a look and explained something to Yang Xing. Then she saw Wen Wuyan took the shovel, and the two of them returned to the inner courtyard.
Gu Qingqing drew the direction in the yard, Wen Wuyan was playing tricks, and asked her, "Qingqing, why did you tell Brother Dong that I know the boss over there? I only met him a few times, so I'm not very familiar with him."
"It doesn't matter whether they recognize you or not. What matters is that they recognize the silver in your hand. As far as I know, the brothers only have a dozen taels of silver on them now. It's barely enough to build two three-room houses, but it's not enough to build three." Gu Qingqing sighed when she said this.
"Why did Brother Dong rush to move the bamboo house over first? It was because he wanted to tell Zhao Xi and the others that he, Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei still had a place to live, and that the three bachelors were not in a hurry to build houses. He wanted to save up all his money and build houses for Zhao Xi, Zhao Zhong and Zhao Feng. Originally, they wanted to build a half-adobe house. I was there at the time, and I helped him analyze the situation. Since they were going to build it, they had to tighten their belts and get it done in one go. After all, building a house is not like making clothes. If the clothes are not suitable, they can be modified. If a house is built, who would refuse to start over within a few years?"
"So you want to?" Wen Wuyan listened carefully, stopped what he was doing, put his hands on the handle of the shovel, and supported himself.
"I think you can go with them tomorrow and take a few taels of silver from home to help buy some bricks. That will be our gift to them. It can also be considered as a return gift from Brother Yuedong for buying food for his family. What do you think?"
"I think it's great. When I'm not at home, Dong Ge and his men have to work hard in the fields. Now they have to go to Xinzhou Prefecture every two weeks, and they have to worry about it. He doesn't want more wages, and he doesn't know how to help them. This finally gives us an opportunity. I'll go with you tomorrow and see what happens."
"Well, go early tomorrow and I will give you the money in the evening. Hey, hey, hey, don't stop what you are doing while we are talking. I'm waiting to plant the chrysanthemums I gave you." Seeing that he stopped digging the hole, Gu Qingqing hurriedly urged him.
Wen Wuyan smiled good-naturedly and asked, "Qingqing, you only have two branches, how much land do you want? If I dig deeper, I can plant trees here."
Gu Qingqing then looked down along the handle of the shovel. Wasn't this moment very awkward? She saw that the turned soil on the ground was as big as the mouth of a bucket. Now most of the shovel seemed to be easily inserted into the ground, which meant that the depth was sufficient.
Gu Qingqing smiled awkwardly, and then began to play dumb and blind. "Well, my eyes are a little uncomfortable, I can't see clearly. I'll go get the chrysanthemum branch."
Gu Qingqing imitated a blind man, raised her hands and touched them back and forth in the air, then turned around and went into the house.
Wen Wuyan looked at her back, his eyes full of satisfaction. What more could he ask for!
