Chapter 668 Sending Invitations
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Yin Le coming back with tables and chairs in a depressed manner, Qin Yao, who was busy sorting luggage in the hall, asked in confusion.
When you feel wronged, you can’t stand others asking you about it. It’s okay if no one asks, but once someone cares, the grievance becomes doubly strong.
"It's the housekeeper of the Qi family next door." Yin Le put the table and chairs into the utility room on the east side and waved to the people who cared about him, "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't get what I wanted."
Over the past half month, she and Awang often came with Qin Yao to clean up the new house, and they had a general idea of the situation of the neighbors.
The Qiu family often climbed over the wall to peek in. They were curious and gossipy, but it was harmless.
The Qi family basically never showed up, and only occasionally saw their master's carriage leaving court, and only glanced at them once or twice.
The first time, Yin Le was supervising the hired bricklayers at the door to build two flower beds at the gate and plant flowers. The two bricklayers spoke a little loudly, and a man came out from the side door of the Qi family and scolded them.
But after all, it was the bricklayer who spoke loudly first, so Yin Le quickly apologized.
The second time, the master of the Qi family returned home from court. The bricks and tiles of the house were placed at the gate and had not been moved into the yard yet, blocking the way. The manager came over again and showed off his authority.
At that time, Qin Yao and Awang went out to select materials, and Yin Le was the only one at home. Fortunately, she had enough strength and cleared the way in front of the door.
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Qiu's daughter-in-law brought her a bowl of mung bean soup.
In fact, the bricks and tiles only extended less than half a meter from the gate, and the rest of the road was still passable by carriages.
Yin Le is not stupid. He can see that the Qi family is deliberately targeting him.
But their family has just arrived and there is no chance to offend the Qi family.
Yin Le was puzzled. How had they offended the Qi family?
This was the first time Qin Yao heard Yin Le talk about this, and her face darkened immediately, "Why didn't you tell me at the time?"
Awang also looked over with resentment. The lady told them to keep a low profile, but she didn't tell them to endure the anger of irrelevant people.
When Yin Le saw the look from the two of them, his nose suddenly felt sore and he took two deep breaths to suppress his excitement.
"It's actually my fault. I didn't do things properly and someone caught me first."
Liu Ji didn't like what he heard. He put down the desk he was tidying, leaned out of the window and shouted:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Stop looking for the cause on yourself. Why didn't the Qiu family say anything about our quarrel or blocking the road? The families across the street didn't say anything either? But the Qi family said it?"
Without needing anyone to answer, he continued confidently:
"It's because their family has so much trouble!"
"My dear, I think we should not invite the Qi family to our housewarming party. They think our temple is too small, and they should not be wronged. Don't you think so?"
If the Qi family comes, there will at least be a table of food for them. If we don't have this table of food, we can save a lot of money. Wouldn't it be better to just eat at home?
He didn't want to let such a person take advantage of him.
Liu Ji turned his head towards the east wall and said, "Pah! What an unlucky thing!"
The sound was quite loud. Yin Le was startled and quickly made a "shush" gesture with his finger, "Master, please keep your voice down. What if they hear us?"
"That's the Censor-in-Chief."
Before Yin Le finished her reminder, Liu Ji pointed at her and said, "Shut up! Don't let others' prestige destroy your own ambition."
"What's wrong with the Censor? Can the Censor bully an innocent girl like you?"
Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang, and Si Niang, who were drafted by my father to clean up the study, nodded in agreement, "That's right."
No one can bully their Senior Sister Yin.
"I won't invite them, let them be greedy!" Sanlang put his hands on his hips and snorted.
A-niang said that she wanted Uncle A-wang to make lots of cakes to entertain the neighbors, and she also warned him that making cakes was tiring and even Uncle A-wang couldn't make too many, so she asked him to eat less.
Now that there is one less family coming, he can eat more. Sanlang sucked his saliva, very happy.
Yin Le looked at the five people including her master, father and son in the room. She would be lying if she didn't feel moved, but her reason told her that this was not a good idea.
"Master." Yin Le had no choice but to look at Qin Yao, "After all, we are new here, this..."
Qin Yao raised her hand to make an interrupting gesture, and looked up at the high east wall. "I heard it, so what are you afraid of!"
He walked to the door of the study and said to the proud Liu Ji, "Have you finished writing the invitations I asked you to write?"
Of course!
Liu Ji immediately went to his bookcase, took out a stack of invitations, and prepared a basket of fresh fruits, which he handed to Yin Le.
"Go find old lady Qiu next door and ask the names of the families around here, then fill out the invitations and send them out."
I specifically instructed: "The Qi family should still write, whether they want to come or not."
It’s okay to vent verbally, but you should not leave out what you should do, so as not to give others a handle against you.
Qin Yao is indeed not afraid of trouble, but she also hopes that there will be less trouble than more.
"Then let Awang go to deliver the gift to the Qi family, and you don't have to go."
He then instructed Awang, "You should go out too. There is nothing to clean up at home. You should deliver the letter to the Ding family in person."
Yin Le and Awang nodded, and each took the order and went out.
Liu Ji was still angry, and muttered quietly: "If it were me, I wouldn't send a letter to the Qi family."
There was really nothing to pack at home. The big items had already been taken care of. Now all I had to do was pack the luggage that I had moved over from Qin Feng's place.
Awang ordered the vegetables in the morning, and now his son, the vegetable farmer, delivered the vegetables. Qin Yao paid some money and asked someone to help deliver the vegetables to the kitchen.
She turned the kitchen at home into a large open room, with one side for the kitchen and the other for baking. From now on, when she makes snacks, tea, etc., there will be a dedicated place that is clean and convenient.
The vegetable farmer put down the vegetables and left through the small door beside the kitchen. Qin Yao saw him off and closed the door. She looked at the three-plot vegetable plot that was neatly arranged in rows and rows. She felt happy when she thought about the lush greenery here in March.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and although many things are crowded together, Qin Yao still insists on celebrating the festival.
Liu Ji left the task of eliminating the five poisonous creatures to the four younger ones, and ran to the backyard with the account book to find Qin Yao.
There was no one in the kitchen or the vegetable garden. After searching for a while, we caught him in the newly built bathroom.
"Have you cleaned all the windows?" Qin Yao asked.
Liu Ji hummed twice and said he had something to talk to her about.
Qin Yao pointed outside and asked him to wait.
The newly built shower room is much more spacious and brighter than the one in my old home. I have money and am willing to spend money on materials. The floor is paved with carved bluestone slabs, which are non-slip and beautiful.
The four walls are built with blue bricks, and there are many wooden frames on them for storing things.
There is a drainage ditch on the ground, and the water flows directly into the ditch at home, flows out of the yard, and finally flows into the street sewer.
The bathing method is still the same as before, just bring hot water to take a shower.
Qin Yao wanted to make a shower head, but when she asked the blacksmith shop, she was told that it would take a long time to make one with copper and it would also cost a lot, so she gave up.
