Go to ancient times to catch fast

After dinner, Chu Xiaoyun went to the river to pick stones to lay the foundation for the chicken and duck enclosure.After hearing this, Wang Sanqiang said to him: "Brother, there is no need to lay a deep foundation for the whole chicken and duck shed. Because one side is built against the firewood house, and the other only needs to build three walls, so it is only necessary to dig deep at the two corners opposite the firewood house. , put down two deep footings, and make a shallow layer for the rest of the place."

"Is this enough?" Chu Xiaoyun is still not very sure about the foundation of the shed. All his impressions come from the impressions he got from TV, small videos, and rural summer camps he attended as a child in his previous life.

He couldn't see the footing, so he had no idea, but he had an impression of the wall above.Where he went to the summer camp, many houses in the countryside where chickens and ducks were raised were built with bricks to the height of a person, and they were no longer filled up next to each other.The top layer of bricks is well-placed, and another brick is placed at a certain distance on top of the bricks. The beams supporting the corners of the tiles are placed on the protruding bricks, leaving a gap between the roof and the wall.This not only increases the height of the roof, but also saves time and materials quickly, and most importantly, it is ventilated and sheltered from wind and rain.

"Well, it's possible. But it's better to pick more stones. The bottom layer is built with stones and mortar, and earth bricks are used on the top." Wang Sanqiang said, "This can save a lot of earth bricks. I thought so too, so today I didn’t buy as many adobes as you said.”

"That's all right, let's do it."

Wang Sanqiang returned to Chu Xiaoyun the money left over from buying earthen bricks and firewood, and also went to carry a basket and followed Chu Xiaoyun to pick stones by the river.I have to say that the progress of the two is much faster.Chu Xiaoyun decided to pick more stones to go back, use the thick ones with bad shapes to build walls, and pick some nice pebbles to pave a cobblestone path in the yard. If it doesn’t rain, the road in the yard will be full of mud and water.In this way, it is more suitable for the yard that Su Wen has taken care of.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xiaoyun sent Wang Sanqiang home and continued tomorrow.He handed over the thimble he bought in the county seat to Su Wen: "Don't use that broken finger in the future, it won't be worthwhile if you hurt your hand."

"Everyone said don't buy it, you can just use it." Su Wen took the thimble from Chu Xiaoyun and put it on his finger, looking left and right.He complained about Chu Xiaoyun's expenses, but he was very happy in his heart.Husband cares about himself and thinks of himself as important, what could be more gratifying than this.

Chu Xiaoyun gave the thimble to Su Wen, took the saber from the wall of the room, and began to practice the moves that the yamen arresters practiced in the morning.Su Wen brought the small shaukei with sewing and scissors to the yard and put it on the stone table, lit the oil lamp in the lantern, sat on the stone bench, sewed clothes, and watched Chu Xiaoyun dance while watching Chu Xiaoyun dance, his eyes were full of tears. It's all happiness.

You add more wax and I weave cloth is the greatest happiness of Cowherd and Weaver Girl; here in Su Wen, you practice martial arts, and I sew clothes is his greatest happiness.

The second day of Chu Xiaoyun's employment was an ordinary day, and the head catcher Yang Yuankai was not in the yamen for some reason.He was not in the yamen, and no one came to deliberately find fault. Even if other people had some opinions on Chu Xiaoyun, they would not find it unpleasant in person.Chu Xiaoyun felt that when Yang Yuankai was not around, he could breathe much more smoothly.

After the patrol ended in the afternoon, someone informed that it would be Chu Xiaoyun's team's turn to be on duty at night tomorrow.The captain asked Yu He, who lived in the Yamen, to go to the signing office early tomorrow to get tomorrow's shift watch, and hand over to the team on duty today.

When Chu Xiaoyun went back at night, Wang Sanqiang came to help again, and went with him to pick stones by the river.Chu Xiaoyun asked Su Wen to take Wang He over for dinner, so that Wang Sanqiang would not be troubled when he went back.On the way Chu Xiaoyun and Wang Sanqiang were picking stones, he told him that he was on duty tomorrow night and could not go home, and asked Wang Sanqiang to come and see Su Wen the next morning to confirm his safety.At night, Chu Xiaoyun told Su Wen that he would be on duty the next day and couldn't go home, and told him to put more firewood against the gate of the yard before going to bed at night.In order not to tire Su Wen, when he went out in the morning, Chu Xiaoyun moved three bundles of firewood by the wooden door in advance, and before Su Wen went to bed at night, he only needed to push the firewood over to block the door.

Chu Xiaoyun also told Su Wen that if he needed to go out in the morning, he only needed to move the firewood a little so that the door could be opened, and he would move back to the firewood room when he came back at night.

After experiencing this incident, Chu Xiaoyun felt that the reinforcement of the courtyard wall and the renovation of the gate need to be put on the agenda.When passing by Wang Sanqiang's house, I told him that he asked Wang Sanqiang to help keep an eye on the plasterer in the past two days, negotiate the price in advance, reserve various materials, and wait for the day when he rests.

Because he was on duty that night, he brought some personal items and needed to put them in the lounge.When he arrived at the lounge, he happened to meet Yu He clutching his stomach and about to rush to the latrine again.Seeing him coming, Yu He was overjoyed: "Brother Chu, you're here? That's great. I'm worried. Can you help me go to the signing place and get today's shift watch, and make a handover with last night's shift Is it? I must have had a bad stomach yesterday, and I ran to the latrine many times this night. Now it seems that the time is coming, I really can't go away..."

Without waiting for Chu Xiaoyun's answer, it seemed like a gust of wind blew into the hut again, it seemed that he had endured hard work.Chu Xiaoyun shook his head and smiled: "Okay, no problem."

Chu Xiaoyun put away his personal belongings and walked to the signing place.Walking quickly to the signing office, I saw a familiar figure standing in the lobby of the signing office from a distance, and the expression on his face seemed to be worried.After a closer look, it was found that the person seemed to be Pei Jin, the head of the Zhang family.

"What is that dog-headed soldier doing in the yamen?" Chu Xiaoyun thought, and couldn't help walking over with a light footstep.

……

"What? He is no longer a slave?"

Chu Xiaoyun heard a word from the other party when he was still far away.

"Yes. He is no longer a slave. This is the certificate of removal from slavery signed by your son." A signer showed a document to Pei Jin, "He is no longer a slave. We cannot issue this document." for you!"

"..." Pei Jin didn't expect things to develop like this.

"Boss Pei. He is free, and he can go wherever he wants. There is nothing we can do about it. Why do you still hold on to him? However, your son has already removed his slave status, why didn't you tell him at the house?" One sound?" the signing asked.

"Ah, haha." Pei Jin laughed dryly, "Maybe my son didn't remember it before he was alive. After all, he is just a little servant."

"That's right. If you're sorry, you've made the trip in vain."

"Excuse me." Pei Jin hurriedly left after finishing speaking.

Seeing that Pei Jin was gone, Chu Xiaoyun walked in.Tell the signer to get tomorrow's value change table.

"Wait a minute." He said after receiving Pei Jin's signature just now.He is on duty today, Pei Jin rushed in as soon as the door opened early in the morning.The other colleagues have not arrived yet.

Chu Xiaoyun leaned on the case table, watched the signing and gave him the value change form, signed and stamped it, while pretending not to care and asked: "The one who went out just now seems to be the manager of the Zhang family?"

"That's right, Manager Pei of the Zhang residence."

Chu Xiaoyun felt strange hearing these words.

"What is the manager of Zhang's house doing here early in the morning?" Without time to think about what Pei Jin was doing here, Chu Xiaoyun hurriedly asked his own question.

"It was said that a servant in their family was missing, and they came to the arresting house to report to the officer. The arresting house needs a certificate of slavery to arrest people. He came to us to obtain a certificate of slavery. After investigation, hey, he has been deprived of slavery. Now I'm free." The signing said while shaking his head, his tone was full of humor.

"Ah? Does the master not know whether their servants are slaves?" Chu Xiaoyun was very surprised.

"Who says it's not? It's the dead son of their family who removed his slave status. The other people in the house don't know about it, and the list of people in the house hasn't been changed. Do you think it's strange? Maybe it's too late, then Isn't Zhang Cheng already dead?" Signed the pledge.

"It makes sense." Chu Xiaoyun pretended to respond casually, "Hey, when did his servant go to slavery?"

"Hmm—" The hand that signed and stamped stopped for a moment, as if recalling, "Hanyue, last year's Hanyue. That's right, it was last year's Hanyue."

Then he shook his head again: "It's been more than half a year, why haven't you changed the composition of the people in the house, hey. Really."

Signed and handed the value change form to Chu Xiaoyun: "Okay."

Looking around, his colleagues hadn't come yet, so he asked Chu Xiaoyun in a low voice: "I heard that you are very familiar with the county magistrate?"

Chu Xiaoyun knew that this was because he wanted to have a relationship with the county magistrate.But hanging around in the yamen doesn't involve the bottom line, it's better to make friends than to make enemies everywhere.He smiled: "Nothing, my lord just thinks that Chu's analysis of the case has some merits."

The other party smiled knowingly: "Yes, yes, it's just that we have the ability, and the adults are looking for it. If there is anything in the future, the adults will take care of it."

Chu Xiaoyun smiled: "That's natural, we are all colleagues, and we should take care of each other."

On the way back to the arresting room, Chu Xiaoyun kept thinking about what was wrong with the sentence that the signer surnamed Zheng said before. When he arrived at the door of the arresting room, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he finally remembered what was wrong.

"That's right, Manager Pei of the Zhang Mansion." That's what the signer said.Although Chu Xiaoyun is not an ancient person, but after watching so many ancient costume movies, he knew something was wrong just by his subconscious reaction.You know, in a large family, don't the main servants all follow the master's surname?Why is the surname of the head of the Zhang family not Zhang, but Pei?

Will there be any secrets or stories in it?

Chu Xiaoyun felt that it was necessary to investigate in private.The first thing to know is what is Zhang Cheng's wife, her last name.Could this Pei Jin be from her natal family?

After thinking of this, one of the doubts in his heart was removed, and Chu Xiaoyun's steps became brisk.He took the shift watch and walked into the arresting room. Yu He was standing at the door, seeing him coming, he hurried forward to meet him.Chu Xiaoyun clearly avoided the eyes of others, and handed the watch to Yu He.

During the morning exercise, Chu Xiaoyun saw Yang Yuan open again today.Yang Yuankai looked at Chu Xiaoyun's morning exercises that he became familiar with after a day's absence, and couldn't help but ridiculed: "There's nothing to be proud of taking shortcuts, don't think you rely on some talent. Compared with the old policemen, you still Not far."

Chu Xiaoyun just responded lightly: "I will continue to work hard to shorten the gap with my senior colleagues. In this world, there are talents and hard work, but there is no real shortcut."

He didn't contradict violently, but he didn't let him handle it in vain.

Yang Yuankai couldn't find any mistakes in his moves, so he could only sneer and turn to others to find faults with other new recruits.Yu He in the front heard the conversation between Chu Xiaoyun and Yang Yuankai just now, and after Yang Yuankai walked away, he turned his head and whispered to Chu Xiaoyun: "Brother Chu, I'm on duty tonight, how can you teach me? I still can't remember." Wait, he has already trained me eighty times this morning."

Chu Xiaoyun replied in a low voice: "No problem, come find me when you are free."

When it was time for breakfast, everyone dispersed.Chu Xiaoyun and Yu He walked side by side, chatting while walking, and went to the dining hall together with the flow of people.After that, I went step by step and went to patrol the streets with everyone.After a whole morning, nothing happened, so I just solved the trivial matters such as two hawkers competing for a stall, and an aunt buying something saying that the stall owner was short of catty and short of tael.Chu Xiaoyun felt that these days were not bad, and he could also feel that the attitude of the common people towards him was gradually improving.
