Crossing town house man and wife

At noon, Yan Heng finally returned to Wu Ming's courtyard.

Wu Ming has already gotten up at this moment, and is counting the dowry that has just been delivered in the yard.

Seeing Yan Heng came back, Wu Ming waved to him and asked casually, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Yan Heng walked quickly to his side, "What delicacy did you prepare?"

"I'm just asking casually, don't take it seriously!" Wu Ming rolled his eyes.

"But I really want to use the daytime food." Yan Heng raised his hand and called Zhuji who was hiding in the corner of the yard, told her to go to the kitchen to get some food, and then turned to ask Wu Ming, "Have you used it?" ?”

"I ate some fruit when I woke up." Wu Ming continued flipping through the dowry box while replying, "Before the toilet paper was made, I decided to go on a diet."

Yan Heng just wanted to ask what toilet paper is, and then remembered the not-so-pleasant experience last night.

"If this... toilet paper can't be made all the time, you just keep eating fruit?" Yan Heng coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

"If you are willing to give someone something, I can make it faster. If you don't give anything, I have to find it myself, and it will take me a long time." Wu Ming curled his lips, and then complained, "What kind of dowry is prepared by the Ruan family? It's not clothes, it's cloth, or it's a box. They're all ostentatious goods!"

"The dowry is custom-made, it's not something you can do whatever you want." Yan Heng said helplessly.

In terms of dowry alone, these items accompanied by the Ruan family can already be called red makeup, but they are still far behind the share that Ruan Cheng should have inherited as a son-in-law.Yan Heng had no choice but to suspect that Ruan Huan might be happy to "marry" Erlang, who he didn't like, into the sheriff's mansion, because it would save him a lot of money and leave more of his family property to him for real. The heir you want to cultivate.

Wu Ming didn't know whether the dowry was more or less, he just felt that there were too many messy things in it, and there was a toilet in one load of dowry, and he looked again——

Damn, why did you stuff the mud into it? !

Wu Ming immediately stared and asked, "What the hell is this?!"

Yan Heng came over to take a look, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "You don't know what the mud represents?"

"What does it represent?" Wu Ming was taken aback, vaguely remembering that Ni Pi did say something, but he couldn't remember it when he suddenly thought about it.

"The mud is the ground, and the tiles are the house." Yan Heng reached out and took out two tiles from another dowry box, "The dowry given to you by the Ruan family includes fields and real estate."

Wu Ming also suddenly realized that he had seen this saying when he was reading novels in later generations, but at that time, he only saw the excitement and didn't want to write it down at all.

It is ridiculous to think that a person born in the Qin Dynasty should rely on the writings of later generations to learn about the customs of the year.

Wu Ming sighed in his heart.

In these days, even writing is not something you can learn if you want to. Knowledge is a kind of monopolized wealth.

"How big is the land and where is the house?" Wu Ming asked casually.

"I can't see it." Yan Heng laughed, "I have to get someone to bring your dowry list to find out."

"Let's talk about it another day." Wu Ming lacked interest in this kind of things that can't be spent at any time, so he straightened up and asked Yan Heng which room could be used as a warehouse.

"Any one is fine." Yan Heng said, "Your yard is up to you."

"Won't someone steal something?" Wu Ming asked with slanted eyes.

"I'll compensate you for what you lost." Yan Heng raised his hand and pinched Wu Ming's nose, "Hurry up and pack it up, and let someone prepare some daily clothes by the way, I will send you to live outside the city for a few days, that is yesterday Where we've been."

"What's wrong?" Wu Ming was taken aback.

"The old lady has passed away, and the house is going to prepare for the funeral. Go out and avoid...so as not to be disturbed again." Yan Heng said as tactfully as possible, "I can't accompany you there, but I have sent Luo Daozi Called over, after a while, you will leave with him."

Seeing Yan Heng's embarrassing expression, Wu Ming guessed the truth, and immediately grinned, "Then I have to prepare a car, I can't ride a horse."

"I'll arrange it." Yan Heng nodded, raised his hand and patted Wu Ming's shoulder, wanting to say something more, but didn't know what to say.

Wu Ming had a lot to say, so he immediately asked: "By the way, do you remember what I told you this morning? I want a place, a craftsman, and..."

"Go to the barracks and ask Luo Daozi for it, and he will be fully responsible for it."

"What if he doesn't give it?"

"No." Yan Heng affirmed, "He is most obsessed with the way of investigating things. As long as you let him watch, he will make your wish come true even if he solves his own purse."

"It's best." Wu Ming replied with narrowed eyes.

After lunch in Wu Ming's courtyard, Yan Heng personally sent Wu Ming to the side gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, watched him get on the bullock cart, and disappeared out of sight.

I don't know if he can stay in the barracks honestly.

Yan Heng sighed, and was about to turn back when he found Yao Chong standing behind him at some point.

"What's the matter?" Yan Heng asked directly.

Yao Zhong also answered succinctly, "The servants went to report the funeral. When they reported to Ruan's house, they found that the house was empty."

Yan Heng was taken aback for a moment.

In the last life, because Ruan Cheng escaped from marriage, Yan Heng took care of the Ruan family and severely humiliated her.In this life, "Ruan Orange" was successfully married into the family by him, and he never paid attention to the news of the Ruan family. He never thought that "Ruan Orange" did not escape, but the Ruan family escaped cleanly.

That's okay, it saved him the trouble of going back home in three dynasties.

Yan Heng sneered in his heart, and didn't pay much attention to it. He casually ordered Yao Zhong to send someone out to investigate, and if he found out the reason, he would report to him.

In fact, Wu Ming had long forgotten that the newlyweds had to go back to the house in three dynasties, otherwise, he would have just got on the bullock cart and gone to the military camp without asking.

When going out this time, Wu Ming didn’t bring many things, only a few sets of clothes and some gold that he didn’t know if he could use them. dress up.

And only a girl her age can dress up as a boy.

Wu Ming glanced at the tortoiseshell Yima Pingchuan's small breasts, and remembered the women disguised as men that often appear in later martial arts novels.

The indistinguishable trait of male and female can only be maintained until the age of fifteen or sixteen. After that, no matter how handsome the boy or how rough the girl is, they will grow and change towards their respective genders driven by the force of nature.After the age of 20, it becomes an impossible task to hide gender through clothing and hairstyle, because the three major characteristics of face, waist and hip shape that are really used to distinguish men and women cannot be modified.Especially the face, the difference between men and women is huge, even plastic surgery in later generations cannot completely change it.In contrast, Adam's apple and chest are trivial matters.

The reason why Hua Mulan was able to join the army instead of her father was not because she was ugly like a rough guy, but because there was no strict age limit for military service at that time. Hua Mulan was only thirteen or fourteen years old when she left home. It's less than twenty, which is within the range of indistinguishable male and female.

Wu Ming half-closed his eyes, thinking wildly there, unconsciously he was a little sleepy by the slow shaking of the bullock cart.

After an unknown amount of time, the feeling of shaking suddenly disappeared, Wu Ming was slightly taken aback, and before he could fully open his eyes, the door curtain of the bullock cart was lifted one step at a time, and Luo Daozi's sanctimonious fairy face followed.

Luo Daozi should be older than Yan Heng, but it's hard to say how much older.The mustache and three long beards look older than Yan Heng's beard, and Luo Daozi is not as pampered as Yan Heng, and his skin texture is much rougher.But judging from the stretched state of the bones of the whole body, Luo Daozi is at most in his early 40s.Considering that people in this year are more "anxious" in appearance, Luo Daozi's actual age is probably only 35-[-].

"Madam, please get out of the car." Luo Daozi smiled and made a hand gesture.

Wu Ming didn't respond, stretched his arms, stretched his waist, then moved his body and jumped off the bullock cart.

Tortoisebi also quickly grabbed the package and got out of the ox cart.

Luo Daozi directly drove the ox cart into the barracks, and the parking place was the second courtyard where Yan Heng brought Wu Ming to last time.

Last time, Wu Ming only stayed with Yan Heng in the main hall of the front yard for a while.This time, Luo Daozi directly led him into the backyard, pointed to the main room and side rooms in the yard, and asked him to use them as he pleased.

"My lord rests here every time I come here, and everything inside is still complete. Presumably my wife won't mind the things my lord has used." Luo Daozi said with a smile.

Luo Daozi's appearance is not bad, but his eyes are not very good, and he squints when he smiles, which makes people think that he has malicious intentions.

"Can the wing room accommodate people?" Wu Ming asked.

Luo Daozi replied: "There are people here to clean every day, and every room can be used at any time."

"That's good." Wu Ming raised his hand and patted the tortoise shell, "Go, choose a room by yourself, you have to live here with me for several days."

"No." Tortoiseshell immediately carried the package into the west wing.

Wu Ming turned to Luo Daozi and asked, "Did the sheriff tell you? I want to do something, and you want to provide me with things and people."

"The lord has already given the order. I wonder when Madam plans to start?" Luo Daozi immediately showed an excited expression.

"I'm going to wash my face, you can start preparing things and people." Wu Ming thought for a while, and then said, "No, don't worry, you take me around first, I have to choose carefully. place."

The ancient method of papermaking also produces sewage, but there are not as many additives as later generations, so that it will not be poisonous after being polluted, but even so, it is not easy to discharge it directly into the river. You have to find a way to deal with it and find a suitable place.

After washing his face and changing his clothes, Wu Ming followed Luo Daozi out of the courtyard, first walked around the craftsman's camp, and then walked outside the barracks.

After the on-site survey, Wu Ming gave up the idea of ​​choosing a site outside the military camp, and also gave up the concept of future generations such as environmental protection.

In this regard, Wu Ming could only show his helplessness.

There was no way, as soon as he negotiated with Luo Daozi, Wu Ming found that his first consideration was safety, followed by secrecy, and both of these two points could only be realized within the barracks.

Luo Daozi represented Yan Heng, and Luo Daozi's ideas were closer to Yan Heng's. Wu Ming didn't think he could use the non-existing principle of "environmental protection" to convince Luo Daozi and Yan Heng, so he didn't bother with that at all. strength.

Anyway, he definitely wouldn't make a large batch from the beginning, and the sewage produced may not be as much as the Ye Xiang that is poured into the river every day.

Wu Ming could only sigh and comfort himself with the spirit of Ah Q.
