Dressed as a blacksmith

When he woke up, Qiao Yuan seemed to be falling apart.

Yu Dameng was still asleep, Qiao Yuan wanted to pinch him awake angrily, but after seeing the red marks on his neck, he softened his heart, and quietly lay on Yu Dameng's body, feeling the temperature of his chest. There was joy left.

His little head moved around, the hair on the top of his head tickled Yu Dameng's chin, and he woke up after a while.

Yu Dameng was still sleepy, and couldn't remember what happened last night.

Qiao Yuan hummed, "Are you awake?"

Yu Dameng saw the red mark on Qiao Yuan's shoulder, and the memory of last night instantly came back, he blushed, and asked Qiao Yuan cautiously, "Does it hurt?"

"Hmph!" Qiao Yuan rushed over and bit his ear hard to vent his anger.

Where did you learn the trick, to put people in such embarrassing poses, "Are you really good at it now?"

Yu Dameng laughed twice, turned over and pressed Qiao Yuan under him, rubbing his big hands on Qiao Yuan's waist in a fawning manner.

Qiao Yuan hugged Yu Dameng's neck with both hands, humming and acting coquettishly, "My legs hurt too."

After some intimacy, the two got up.

Mrs. Wang brought Qiao Wang to tidy up the tableware yesterday. Qiao Yuan was very embarrassed, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's not in the way." Qiao Yuan's family is kind, and the work is easy. Mrs. Wang has found a lot of delicious food here, so she wants to repay one or two, but it's just that such a good job has not been done for a long time.

Because Mrs. Qiao Wang couldn't leave her for a moment now, Mrs. Wang still had a family after all, and it was impossible to be with Mrs. Qiao Wang all the time, so Qiao Yuan planned to buy a maid to take care of her.

In the end, Qiao Yuan selected a couple and a husband and wife. The husband and wife were Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing was responsible for taking care of Qiao Wang's housework, and Uncle Qing was responsible for taking care of the land and assisting Aunt Qing.Husband and wife are younger, husband Lang stays in Yuqiaoji, and the man stays in the iron shop to work.

Qiao Yuanduo paid Mrs. Wang a monthly payment and resigned from her.

Xu Xiuhua was taken to the county government office for questioning, and it is said that nothing came out of the question, but when she came out, she was frightened and frantic, shouting all day long to catch ghosts.

His eldest son, who is now in charge of the family's property, drove her to the small dilapidated house where Mrs. Qiao Wang lived and locked her all day long. Everything was karma.

Both Qiao Guangzhi and Shi Zhixian were sentenced to be executed by Qiu Houwen. The new county magistrate ransacked Shi Zhixian's home and took away Zhang Wensheng's ill-gotten gains from being a scholar. They ordered the two of them to compensate Qiao Yuan 500 taels of silver.Qiao Yuan only took 100 taels of it as compensation for buying servants and delaying the profit of the shop these days, and the remaining 400 taels were donated to the Anjiyuan in the city.

For a while, more people lamented Qiao Yuan's benevolence and scolded Zhang Wensheng and the three of them as wolf-hearted.

The new house has been drying for a month, and Qiao Yuan hasn't done anything recently, just go shopping in the street all day long, searching for some gadgets to decorate the home.So far, apart from Yu Dameng, even Lin Cuifen doesn't know what his new house looks like.

Every time he asked, Qiao Yuan would say with a mysterious face, "I'll know when the time comes."

Now it's finally time for the reveal.

On an auspicious day, it is advisable to move house.

Early in the morning, the members of the Yu family got busy.Father Yu and Uncle Qing each drove an ox cart to the county town to buy meat, Yu Dameng took the twin brothers to the village ancestral hall to move tables and stools, Lin Cuifen and Aunt Qing cleaned up the vegetables, and Qiao Yuan packed things at the new house.

After a while, Aunt Zhao and Brother Yu from the village chief's family that Qiao Yuan invited to help, aunts from the Wu family, aunts from the Qian family, and their daughters-in-law also came to help clean up, while the men were outside. Help arrange tables and chairs and kill pigs.

The cook who made the banquet before rushed over early in the morning and said, "It's only been half a year, and I've cooked noodles for your family three times."

Everyone laughed, and Aunt Zhao said, "I'm afraid there will be two more this year!"

This refers to Meng Qiu's child's full moon wine and Yu Xiangxue's coming to Qiuwei High School.

Lin Cuifen happily said: "Then I will lend you a good word!"

Most people’s busy farming has not yet started, and they are idle and have nothing to do. Seeing the sun, they come here early to join in the fun. The villagers all come here with gifts, some directly seal money, some send eggs, bacon or side dishes of.

Yu Dameng set up a desk at the gate, and the village head sat there, helping to write down who gave what on the red paper, and used it as a reference when sealing the ceremony in the future.

The members of the Yu family could no longer work outside, and all came to the new house to entertain guests.

With the exception of the private bedrooms, the doors of every room in the home are left open for guests to visit.

When the house was built, the villagers knew that it had a big roof and the roof was higher than the houses in the village. Now when you enter, you can really feel its spaciousness and transparency.

Not to mention that the east and west sides are connected to the main house, the yard of the main house alone is huge, and there are corridors on three sides, so you don’t have to worry about getting wet when you go out of the house on rainy days, and you can sit on the veranda in winter and enjoy the sun in summer. Enjoy the coolness and eat.

At the end of the corridor on the west side is the well shed. There is a table built around the well shed. On the table are things commonly used for washing pots and washing and cleaning the face. Under the table are buckets and wooden basins, etc., which are very convenient to use.

Next to the well shed is the stove, and the stove in Qiao Yuan's house is so huge that it is bigger than two bedrooms in other people's houses.There are three pots and stoves connected inside, two big ones and one small one, the two big ones are used for stewing rice and cooking, and the small one can be used for boiling water in a kettle or for making soup in a small iron pot.There is also an oven, and a cabinet for storing bowls, chopsticks, rice noodles.There are built-in stoves along both sides of the pot and stove, which are covered with marble, and there are chopping boards and common things for cooking, which are easy to use and clean.

The main room and the living room are divided into three parts, and the center is the place to entertain guests and eat, which is the layout of a traditional Chinese-style hall.The left and right sides are separated by carved wooden moon doors. On the left is a sofa and tea table, which Qiao Yuan drew and asked a carpenter to order; on the right is a large kang built for winter use.

The layout was so meticulous that the villagers subconsciously did not dare to touch it. Qiao Yuan warmly invited everyone to sit down and have some refreshments and tea.

Once you sit on it, you will know that this soft sofa is more comfortable to sit on than a hard bench. It is well-decorated and tidy. People in the village cherish it subconsciously. After sitting for a while, they will move it to the yard, so that they can eat sunflower seeds like this. Can let go of snacks.

A group of people sat there after admiring Qiao Yuan's new house and chatting about farming or village gossip. Qiao Yuan listened, and Qiao Yingying ran away with a peddler who went to the countryside not long ago!

"Since that incident, her mother-in-law has been saying that she is a loser all day long, and that she caused disasters because of marrying her. She beats and scolds her every day. In fact, she doesn't care about her business. It's because her son's intentions are not right!"

Fortunately, Qiao Yuan's anti-killing of the county magistrate in the courtroom was too intimidating. The Zhang family didn't dare to make trouble in front of Qiao Yuan after the incident. On weekdays, the members of the Zhang family would hide away when they saw Qiao Yuan, but they often talked to Qiao Yuan. home trouble.

Qiao Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to these things anymore, seeing that the table was almost ready, he arranged for people to sit down on the threshing floor.

"A Yuan!"

Qiao Yuan heard Chu Li calling him, and turned his head to see that Chu Li was waving at him in the carriage.

No matter when I saw this person, he was full of energy. Qiao Yuan walked over with a smile, "Didn't I tell you to come back later? Why is this hour here?"

Pei You and Chu Li have special identities, and it is impossible for them to dine at this country banquet. Qiao Yuan had informed Chu Li earlier to let him come over later, and then he would cook and entertain them at home.

"I'm impatient." Chu Li jumped out of the carriage and looked curiously at the threshing floor behind Qiao Yuan.

Brother Liu had a lot of fun with him last time, seeing him coming, he rushed over to show off the new clothes he was wearing today.

Chu Li quickly got into trouble with him, Pei You looked at it for a while, then smiled and said to Qiao Yuan: "You go ahead, don't worry about us, let him play for a while."

Qiao Yuan was also polite, and turned around to deal with the matter at hand first.

When everyone here was seated and started eating, Qiao Yuan gave Yu Dameng a few instructions and led Chu Li and the others home first.

It's just that Chu Li's face turned red, and the atmosphere with Pei You also became very weird.

Or Aunt Wu said, "Master Pei and Mrs. Pei are going to the new house?"

After explaining Qiao Yuan's confusion, Qiao Yuan tried his best to hold back his laughter.

Pei You coughed lightly, Chu Li blushed and pulled Qiao Yuan away quickly.

Aunt Qing had already tidied up the new house. Qiao Yuan led the two of them to have a look around. Chu Li's eyes brightened, and he praised, "Your new house is so beautifully decorated."

Naturally, according to his identity and status, this kind of house is nothing at all, but Qiao Yuan gave him a different feeling.It's warm, very tender, not as cold and lifeless as the inner palace.

Chu Li and Pei You not only prepared Lilly, but also brought the first batch of perfume and sugar developed by the craftsmen.

"This candy is as pure as snow, even the best snow candy in Beijing is not as good. It is very easy to get and the cost is also low. I have written to Ah Hou and waited for him to work it out carefully before selling it to Chen Guo."

Qiao Yuan nodded. Although he only took a [-]% profit from this prescription, he might not be able to spend all the money in the future.

"Ah Yuan has made great contributions to the country. His father, Emperor Bingming, should have given him a big reward, but you don't like fame and wealth, so I can only give this to you." Chu Li handed Qiao Yuan a wooden box.

Qiao Yuan took it and opened it to see that it was a waist card.

"Seeing this badge is like seeing me, and you can also dispatch Ah Hou's shops in various places. I also keep some people here, and they are all at your disposal."

Qiao Yuan offered the prescription in exchange for a life-saving talisman for himself, he gladly accepted it, and said with a smile: "It's exactly what I want."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Qiao Yuan entertained them nicely.

At night, after everyone left, Qiao Yuanlai unwrapped presents on the kang in the bedroom, which was divided into an outer room and an inner room.The inner room is a wooden bed, and the outer room is built with a kang for sleeping in winter.

The happy money granted by the villagers to Qiao Yuan was strung together and handed over to Aunt Qing for daily use. What is being opened now is a gift from Chu Li, Pei You, Pei Yi and the newly appointed county magistrate.

Chu Li is really a wonderful person, and the gifts were all playful things, such as all kinds of Luban locks, Jiulianhuan, Huarongdao and various chessboards, and even brought a cart of his collection of words.But it was sent to Qiao Yuan's heart, and it will relieve the boredom when he is bored in the future.

On the other hand, Pei You was simple and rude, and what he gave was a hard-earned BMW. Qiao Yuan was really ashamed, this horse was really inferior to his family!Finally, under Qiao Yuan's repeated request, Pei You took the horse back and said that he would send them two ordinary good horses another day.

What Pei Yi sent were practical things, such as decorations, tea sets, etc. Among them, two mats were made of some kind, and they were extremely cool and pleasant. They should be good things to relieve the heat in summer, especially Qiao Yuan's favorite.

By the way, Qiao Yuan counted the property at home, and brought the dividends from Chu Li and Pei Yi to 8000 taels of silver. He was so happy that he didn't bother to care about these gifts anymore, and begged Yu Dameng to carry him to the bed, yelling , "Haven't tried our new bed yet!"

Yu Dameng held his hand tightly, and quickened his pace to go inside.

......

In the blink of an eye, it was Busy Xia, and what Qiao Yuan's family was busy with was only the ten mu of high-quality field that Qiao Guangzhi had brought back earlier. The wheat had to be harvested when it was ripe, and the new season's millet had to be planted.

Originally, he didn't need to worry about this matter, but Pei You and Chu Li went crazy for some reason, they wanted to live in his house's old small yard, and they insisted on cutting his house's wheat!

What is this new type of rich young master going to the countryside to experience life!

It happened that the farming was busy recently, there were few things in the shop, and the weather was hot. Qiao Yuan and Yu Dameng took a long vacation. They had nothing to do, so they ate melon seeds and melons all day long to watch the two people gossip and go out of their way.

In a few days, the two seemed to have received some letter and were about to return to Beijing urgently. Qiao Yuan and Yu Dameng bid farewell to the two who were still noisy.

The harvest this season was good. On the way home, the villagers they met all had smiles on their faces and greeted Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan warmly.Qiao Yuan was walking on the country road and suddenly remembered that when he traveled here for the first time and went out with Yu Dameng for the first time, he turned over old accounts, "At that time, I took the initiative to hold your hand."

Yu Dameng paused for a moment, held Qiao Yuan's hand tightly, and promised, "I will take the initiative in the future."

Qiao Yuan smiled and rolled his eyes.
