The Beauty in the Peasant Family - C256
After discussing the matters of cultivation, Qin Wuya brought Fu Xi to take a walk around the vineyard s. Seeing that the wild dry grape s in the garden had matured, they went to the farmyard and each of them found a basket.
Perhaps it was because of the last stalk, but the number of dry grape left in this short period of time was actually not many.
However, with the shameful attitude of a wastrel, Qin Wuya scooped everything into her own basket. Before going down the mountain, she told Fu Xi:
“Leave a basket on the mountain and let Xu San have a taste with his brothers. As for the remaining basket, send it to Manager Wu tomorrow. Just tell his that he will not make any sauce for his sister-in-law to eat. ”
When night fell and he finished washing up in his ear room, Qin Wuya changed into a set of self-made pajamas and entered the room. Seeing Zhang Shan reflecting on the blueprints that she had drawn these few days, he smiled and asked: “What do you think?”
“That’s right.” Zhang Shan laughed, then said, “It’s just that with such a big commotion, do you have enough silver on your account?”
Qin Wuya did not expect Zhang Shan to see through the crucial words that he was about to say, and his expression immediately became a little awkward: “Indeed it is not enough, I can only barely hold on, if it really does not work, I can only find dental chamber to get rid of the acres of land in my hands, and see if I can get to the top.”
“How much can your several dozen mu of land be worth? Even if you buy them all, it’ll only be a cup of water for a car.”
Zhang Shan took Qin Wuya’s hand and pulled him into her embrace. As he sat down, he sized up the diagrams on the table and repeated them, “Do you still remember when I was at Prefecture Jing’s restaurant?”
Seeing Qin Wuya nod her head, Zhang Shan continued, “Tomorrow, I will let Fang Da take a walk around the Prefecture and deal with that restaurant. It should be able to be exchanged for two to three thousand taels of silver.
“How can this be!”
Qin Wuya was startled, she did not think that Zhang Shan would actually want to sell his private property, and immediately stopped him: “That restaurant is your spy in Prefecture Jing, after selling this restaurant, who would keep an eye on Jiang Quan from the White Tiger Temple?”
Hearing that, Zhang Shan laughed as he hugged Qin Wuya closer, and laughed: “You don’t have to worry. “Right now, I can’t be considered a member of the Qing Gang. Jiang Quan is not stupid, he can’t care about me anymore.”
“You mean?” Qin Wuya’s eyes lit up.
“The person from the Main Hall used the name of me to clean up the remaining troops in Zhu Si’s hands. Although Jiang Quan and Zhu Si have never been on good terms with each other, it would be hard for him to not feel sorry for the other. Furthermore, since I am no longer a member of the Qing Gang, Jiang Quan will naturally not spend any effort to prevent me from joining them. ”
Zhang Shan played with Qin Wuya’s scattered black hair, his expression relaxed: “Also, that restaurant only has empty seats, it does not operate well, and will require a lot of silver as subsidies, since that’s the case, I might as well sell my remaining heart.”
After hearing this, Qin Wuya no longer had any thoughts of rejecting and could only mock: “So it’s a loss-making deal.”
“It’s just a loss business deal.” Zhang Shan chuckled, he did not care about Qin Wuya’s mockery at all, and only embraced Qin Wuya: “Husband knows madam has a hand in making money, and thus, isn’t it better to stop now and give the silver money that you exchanged for to Madam instead.”
“Then I won’t be polite, but two or three thousand taels is not a small sum.” “Tell me, do you have any additional requests?” Qin Wuya raised his eyebrows.
“I really can’t hide anything from you.”
Zhang Shan laughed helplessly, and pointed to a certain location on the map: “I see that your land is empty, do you have any idea what to do with it?”
Qin Wuya took a glance at the place Zhang Shan pointed out: “You’ve picked quite well, I really haven’t thought of what to do with this place. Why are you so useful? ”
“Help me in two rows of courtyards and a martial arts practice field.” Zhang Shan nodded.
He didn’t expect that Zhang Shan would actually make such a request. Qin Wuya was surprised for a moment, “Didn’t you say before that you would go back to the county city in two years to collect Old Tang? Why did you want to build a martial arts training grounds in the Sunset Clouds Mountain?”
With that, Qin Wuya laughed: “Could it be that you want to occupy the mountain and become king?”
“I am not taking control of the mountain to become its king, I am bringing people with me to be Madame’s repressive husband.” Zhang Shan bent his head and bit on Qin Wuya’s earlobe, teasing him.
Qin Wuya’s face turned slightly red, she turned to avoid Zhang Shan’s bites, and angrily rebuked: “You’re talking about proper business, don’t be so glib.”
“What I said was the truth. It’s not considered glib tongue at all.” Zhang Shan chuckled, and did not continue tormenting Qin Wuya, and only narrowed her eyes:
“Liubei County of the Liubei County, you have to take it back, but this is not the time. The town hall was too small for the brothers to practice. Furthermore, my Chao Chung Hall has lost a lot of troops against the people from the Main Hall and Zhu Si last time. ”
Qin Wuya knew about the incident that had happened. Although Zhang Shan had lost a few men, almost no one from the Chao Chung Hall’s group had survived.
Don’t look at how these people were useless to Zhang Shan, it seemed like there would be no loss whether he stayed or not. But it could not be denied that in the eyes of outsiders, they were a part of the Chao Chung Hall.
Without these people, the Chao Chung Hall’s strength would inevitably be weakened. Thinking about it, Qin Wuya faintly understood Zhang Shan’s intention, and asked:
“Are you planning on recruiting?”
“There is a strategy within the military strategy. It is called ‘Hidden Soldiers in the Mountain’. It is most suitable for me to move behind in cultivation.” Zhang Shan curled his lips, his black eyes were as calm as the abyss.
Qin Wuya frowned slightly: “Are you still planning to make a move against the Qing Gang?”
Zhang Shan shook his head and laughed: “Whether you understand it or not, we can talk about it later.
Qin Wuya did not refute anymore, and nodded: “Don’t worry, I will leave this place for you. As for what you want to create, you can just use your own hands to draw the blueprint. “You know, I don’t know much about the matters in the hall. If I were to draw it, I might not be able to think it through.”
“That’s fine too.” Zhang Shan nodded after thinking for a while.
He then carried Qin Wuya up and laughed: “Wifey, since we have finished our idle talk, why don’t we talk about proper business?”
“What business? Isn’t what I said just now all true? ” Qin Wuya did not understand.
Zhang Shan laughed but did not say a word, and carried Qin Wuya into the tent, after that, before Qin Wuya could react, she bent her body forward, buried her head into Qin Wuya’s ear, and gently kissed.
Qin Wuya was so angry that she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“How can it not be? There is nothing more serious in this world than having a child.” Zhang Shan sneered as he reached out to tug on the belt on Qin Wuya’s waist …
In the blink of an eye, it was autumn. With Zhang Shan selling off the 2700 silver that came out of the restaurant, Qin Wuya’s finances became a lot more relaxed. In that moment, she did not have to worry about not being able to pay because of the excessive numbers of people she had recruited.
If the town couldn’t be found, then he would go to the village, and if the village couldn’t be found, then he would go to Lin town’s town, the county. It was imperative that he finish the Sunset Clouds Mountain’s mountain path before the start of the year, but of course, it would be best if he could do it before winter.
Zhang Shan’s hand writing could be practiced, it was not bad, but it was more crafty.
Fortunately, Zhang Shan had written a few words less on the blueprint, so Qin Wuya finally understood what she meant. Following Zhang Shan’s original blueprint, she also planned out the new area of the martial arts training ground.
Not only were the two rows of courtyards for the Chao Chung Hall brothers and the outdoor training grounds, there were also indoors training rooms, the weapons pavilion, the study room and the elder’s courtyard.
After all, Qin Wuya still wanted to establish a villa on the Sunset Clouds Mountain. At that time, they couldn’t possibly expel Zhang Shan and separate them from each other, right?
Qin Wuya didn’t mind, but she didn’t know if Zhang Shan was happy or not.
However, the main courtyard didn’t have any other arrangements, so Qin Wuya intentionally made a big study room. Not only was there a living room, there was also a bedroom.
Although the Grand Dynasty still had no electricity, to not work overtime, if there were no conditions, they would have to create conditions, and there were still candles in the electric lamps.
It was not like Qin Wuya had never seen Zhang Shan’s overtime work before, preparing for the next bed was equivalent to being prepared.
Other than these, Qin Wuya had also arranged five public toilets according to the standards of the public places in her previous life. Of course, they were now called public latrines.
In fact, every private courtyard had a latrine prepared for them, but it was located in a relatively remote location in the living area. Furthermore, the brothers in the Chao Chung Hall would spend most of their time in the training grounds and training rooms, so Qin Wuya’s public latrine was very necessary.
Actually, according to Qin Wuya’s plans, she had arranged for one or two public toilets in almost all of Sunset Clouds Mountain’s planned locations. Even in some parks, five or six will be arranged because of the large number of people involved in management.
Furthermore, all the public latrine rooms were constructed according to the modern public toilet stall model. The men, women, and children were divided into their respective sides, and each time, there were six squatting positions with suggested partitions.
Of course, there were also special circumstances. For example, out of the five public toilets in the training grounds, only one was a male and a female. The other four were male.
The only people they would touch in the training grounds were all men. Naturally, most of the family members would not go out in the backyard. Even if they did, they would not go to the training grounds.
However, he couldn’t leave none alive either. Even if there were no female soldiers in the entire Chao Chung Hall, Qin Wuya would still need that girl Fu Zhi to keep a private bathroom, so as to not wait for his to understand the relationship between males and females and cause trouble for him later on.
Perhaps it was because Qin Wuya’s words had slapped Wang Nu’s face the last time, but Wang Nu didn’t run back to Chao Chung Hall after that time.
Qin Wuya asked Zhang Shan in private because she could not guess what kind of attitude Fang Da had, but she did not want Zhang Shan to say that because there were matchmakers in the manor every few days, she had not returned to his manor for quite a few days, and was living together with He Feng right now.
This result made Qin Wuya a little surprised, but she knew that Fang Da himself had no intentions of taking Fu Xi in as his concubine, so he was a lot more at ease.
Actually, Qin Wuya was worried that Wang Nu would persuade him to do as she said, but it would be more difficult. After all, Fang Da had done meritorious deeds with the Chao Chung Hall, but Qin Wuya could not reject this rule no matter what.
“Tell me the truth, do you know what kind of family you want to marry?” The two of them came down from Sunset Clouds Mountain, seeing that no one was around, Qin Wuya immediately opened her mouth.
Actually, Qin Wuya had intended to keep Fu Xi here for another year or two, but because the Wang Nu had interfered this time, Qin Wuya had no choice but to stay and probe out Fu Xi’s low status.
At the very least, he wouldn’t be able to get married that quickly. Furthermore, Qin Wuya felt that she needed an administrative secretary or a living assistant, not a personal servant.
So, even if Fu Xi was really married, as long as the husband was reasonable and Fu Xi was willing, it would not stop her from returning to his side to do things in the future.
“Madam, Fu Xi won’t marry. Fu Xi will always be by Madam’s side waiting for you.” Fu Xi never thought that Qin Wuya would be so direct with her questions, and her face immediately flushed red.
Qin Wuya’s nature was never suitable for an ordinary inner chamber woman, so she could not say too much cursory words. Furthermore, Qin Wuya sincerely regarded Fu Xi as one of her own, as he waved her hand and said:
“You know that I don’t like listening to this sort of shushing. What do you mean in your heart? Just tell me so that I can pay attention.”
“Servant …” “Your servant …” Fu Xi’s face grew even redder, his lips pursed slightly, why didn’t he say anything?
Seeing that, Qin Wuya was not anxious, and waited quietly.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Fu Xi finally said in a low voice, “Only … As long as it’s someone with a good temper. ”
“Just this one request?” Qin Wuya was startled.
“Yes.”
Fu Xi’s face was about to drip with blood, but this time, he happily responded, “My father’s temper isn’t good, and my mother always suffers at home. I always thought that if my future husband could be a kind person, that would be great.”
Qin Wuya did not think that Fu Xi actually came out from a family that was victims of domestic violence.
However, with this previous reason, Qin Wuya somewhat understood why Fu Xi was extremely introverted even though he was obviously working diligently.
It was probably because of this irascible father of his and his long-suffering mother’s practical education that Fu Xi subconsciously felt scared and cowardly, and even did not dare to talk to others.
It was no wonder that Fu Xi did not directly say that he would not hit his wife, and instead indirectly mentioned a seemingly unreasonable condition of ‘only having a good temper’. In fact, it was no wonder that in this era where the status of a woman was extremely unprotected, men violently beating up women and children was almost universal. Even most men felt that this was a problem.
Actually, Fu Xi wasn’t the only one who thought this. Even before he had married Zhang Shan, Qin Wuya had also never felt fear towards the men of this era. Not only in this dynasty, even when Qin Wuya was alive, there were still countless of cases of domestic violence.
Just from this point alone, Qin Wuya felt that Fu Xi was smart.
It didn’t matter if a man didn’t have the ability, even if he did care about his family. However, he had a good temper and didn’t have the habit of beating up women. At worst, he would just split up and live his life separately.
However, it was different if he met a violent man.
