Chapter 189: Easy to Avoid
Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue discussed the location to build the house.
"Yun Yue. We can build it in the southernmost part. I like quiet places. Besides, we can also block some wild beasts in the south." Fu Xuanheng implied that Snowball, Shadow Black and others would come here in the future.
In addition, with Jiang Chong and others, it would be easier to avoid the eyes and ears of others in the southernmost part.
They also want to build real brick houses.
The southernmost part is open, so the new house can be built directly next to it.
Shen Yunyue also agreed with his opinion.
"Okay. We'll build our bamboo huts against that crooked tree over there. Grandfather and his family will build in the middle, and great-grandfather and his family will build on the north side.
"Leave about twenty feet of space between each house. This way, they can look after each other and it won't be too crowded or noisy."
"Then I'll tell my uncle." Fu Xuanheng nodded.
Shen Citong came over and said, "Let's do as you say. But I also need to ask about the location of the Lu family. Should we leave them more space near the roadside?"
"Okay. Uncle, I'll go with you to find Patriarch Lu."
Fu Xuanheng took the initiative to go with Shen Citong to find the head of the Lu family.
Shen Yunyue stayed to pack her luggage, and some of it was placed in the space.
Some things have to remain in the open.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Yunyue had to take out a few more inconspicuous things.
After a while, she carefully packed her luggage.
Li Gouduo and his men had already arrived. He was beaming with joy, and the villagers following him were also visibly happy.
Just happy with a little uncertainty?
Did these people have copper coins to give them? Someone saw the steamed bread in the basket on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yunyue put down the work in her hands and rushed to where Li Gouduo and Fu Xuanheng were talking.
"How many people are here?"
Li Gouduo said embarrassedly: "Fifteen men came to cut bamboo to build the bamboo house. There are also twenty women who are responsible for cutting grass."
He didn't want to invite so many people.
But when the villagers heard about this good thing, everyone wanted to come.
Even the village chief's son and the headman's son came to work.
"Okay. Fifteen may not be enough. If there are more people, we can call a few more." Shen Yunyue thought about it and realized that she had quite a few family members, so she might as well build the bamboo house in the next two days.
A dark-skinned man's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Busy opening:
"There are still people. I'll call over a dozen more skilled people. Okay?"
Li Gouduo glanced at the person who was speaking and introduced him to Shen Yunyue: "This is the son of our village chief, Chen Xiaogou."
Shen Yunyue raised her eyebrows and glanced at him lightly.
Chen Xiaogou looks more down-to-earth, tall, and the calluses on his hands suggest he's a hard worker.
"Okay, go call a few more people."
Shen Yunyue nodded lightly, then asked:
“Who is the best at building a bamboo house?”
Chen Xiaogou, who was about to leave, quickly replied:
"I'm the best at this. I used to go with a master craftsman from the county to build houses, whether they were brick or bamboo houses."
"Then you stay here and someone else will go and call for help."
Shen Yunyue was talking here, and Fu Xuanheng was standing beside her. He raised his chin:
"Li Gouduo, go call for help."
"I'll go and call for help." Li Gouduo hurriedly raised his legs and trotted away.
Shen Yunyue explained her request to Chen Xiaogou and added:
"The bamboo house has a high ceiling, leaving five feet of space below."
Chen Xiaogou's dark skin shone, and he rubbed his large hands with the palm-leaf fan. He looked up and said:
"Girl, are you afraid of water accumulation in the summer?"
"Our Baijia Village is located on high ground, so no matter how heavy the rain is, there will be no water accumulation."
Shen Yunyue shook her head gently. "It's humid in the mountains. I don't like humidity in the summer."
"Okay. I'll take people to cut bamboo first." Chen Xiaogou knew that people coming from the capital were particular.
It seems that these people have money.
Many of them were exiled to Shihanzhou, where they even ate the grass roots on the roadside, and some even wore tattered clothes worse than the mountain people.
This family looks thin, but upon closer inspection they are actually lean and well-muscled.
Chen Xiaogou invited the villagers to come cut bamboo, and everyone who came to work brought their own knives.
Then the woman with the headscarf came forward.
I wanted to ask the adults of the Shen family, but I saw that they were all working while cutting grass.
There were only two men and women, about fifteen or sixteen years old, in charge.
She was surprised, but didn't dare to say anything. She smiled and said:
"Girl, shall we go cut the grass now, all the way south from here?"
Shen Yunyue nodded slightly, "What's your name, aunt?"
"Xiaogou is my nephew. Everyone in the village calls me Mrs. Chen San."
"Mrs. Chen San."
Mrs. Chen San hurriedly lowered her body and asked the people who came with her to go and cut the grass.
I saw that there was no one at the Shen family.
Mr. Lu walked over. "Ms. Shen, did you leave space underneath the bamboo house?"
He had just heard something and asked another question out of caution.
"Grandpa Lu, the mountains are damp. I wanted to leave some open space in case of heavy rain or wild animals.
Don’t we all have to leave some space for convenience?”
After careful consideration, Mr. Lu found that this was indeed the case.
"You've thought it through carefully. We'll follow your plan. From now on, we'll be neighbors and look out for each other."
Mr. Lu admires Shen Yunyue from the bottom of his heart.
A girl who is calm in the face of difficulties and has a mind full of knowledge about the world, will surely be a good helper to Fu Xuanheng in the future.
"Grandpa Lu is right. We'll have to rely on Grandpa Lu to remind us from time to time in the future."
There was humility in Shen Yunyue's words.
Old Master Lu liked her even more, but he only regretted that she was not his own granddaughter.
Shen Yunyue said a few words and watched everyone in the Shen family working.
Even Shen Yunfeng and his group went to the mountains and forests.
Shen Yunzheng, Fu Xuansheng, Shen Yunhai, Shen Yunfei, Lingbao and others were constantly beating the grass with sticks and bamboo.
Even Liu Feifei was holding her child in one hand and beating the grass with a bamboo stick in the other.
Fu Xuanting took a knife and ran over to work.
She was afraid that if she didn't work she would have no place to live.
Shen Yunyue said that she would not keep idle people, so Fu Xuanting had no ability to resist and could only accept it.
She finally realized that she could only have food to eat if she listened to Shen Yunyue.
Her brother Fu Xuanheng is a heartless person.
Seeing that those people in the He family had no benefits, how could she get any benefits?
Erniu and Da Niu built a stove.
The two little guys lifted the iron pot and went to the stream to wash it.
"Miss Yue, can I make some old tea?" Da Niu and Er Niu came back carrying an iron pot.
"Okay. Make some more and prepare some for the people who are working." Shen Yunyue took out some old tea from the space.
After the old tea is brewed, the tea soup becomes brown-red.
It has a strong flavor and is very suitable for people who do hard work.
Da Niu agreed and went to fetch water with a wooden bucket.
He grabbed a few handfuls of old tea leaves and put them into the iron pot, then covered it. Erniu lit the firewood with a flint and squatted on the ground to keep it burning.
Shen Yunyue was sorting out the things she took down from the carriage.
The Shen family had two horses, and they were not tied up. They were left to graze in the grass.
Anyway, these two guys have recognized their master and will not leave here easily.
Shen Yunyue gathered the coarse rice and flour and a small bag of fine rice and flour together. Half of the wolf meat was used on the way, and the other half was unused.
The Shen family did not eat wolf meat.
Looking at the villagers working, Shen Yunyue thought of giving them some wolf meat.
I'll give it to you after I've found out clearly. After all, this wolf has been fed drugs and has lost its mind.
As she sorted things out, she quietly added some things to the room. She didn't dare put too many things in, so she decided to add more slowly over time.
There was a pile of furniture in the space, and Shen Yunyue was itching to take it out, but she suppressed her urge to do so.
"Daniu, boil some old tea and pour it into a wooden barrel. Bring it to the bamboo forest for everyone to drink." Shen Yunyue brought over a bag of steamed bread. "If you heat these steamed breads, they'll be so hard they can kill someone."
Da Niu swiftly took the cloth bag from Shen Yunyue's hand and glanced at a few people pushing wheelbarrows coming from the other end of the path.
"Miss Yue, why is there someone coming over there?"
Shen Yunyue looked at the stool and small table on the wheelbarrow and couldn't help but smile.
The people in Baijia Village have a good sales mind.
Knowing that these exiles were building bamboo houses, they deliberately pushed all the unsold stools and tables over to sell.
"I'll go over and take a look."
Shen Yunyue took an empty water bag and filled it with milk tea using her mind.
He specifically told Da Niu that this was the water for Fu Xuanheng to drink, "Xuanheng's body hasn't fully recovered yet, and the water he drinks contains medicine from Yaowang Valley."
"This water bag cannot be confused with anyone else's."
Daniel agreed.
The Shen family’s water bags are all the same, but the contents inside are very different.
Shen Yunyue's heart trembled, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Fu Xuanheng, look at me, you are eating alone all day long. You have to be my most solid supporter in the future.
After watching the big bull leave, she turned and walked towards the path.
The head of the Lu family and Old Man Lu were standing on the path talking.
North side of the path.
The He family was mowing the lawn, and someone was cursing while doing so.
Madam He Er stood aside with her sleeves gathered up, a look of sarcasm on her face, pointing at several granddaughters-in-law who were not working properly and cursing them.
Looking at her, Shen Yunyue was reminded of the time when she was first exiled.
Although she was selfish and difficult to get along with, her expression at that time was not as mean and vicious as it is now.
Old Madam He Er looked over, and her eyes were fixed on Shen Yunyue, a fight to the death.
Soon, she was defeated.
He cursed and kicked a five or six-year-old girl from the He family who was passing by.
"Get out of here! I worked so hard to raise you, but it's all for nothing. You're here to stab us. You might as well have been thrown into a dung bucket to feed the maggots."
The little girl was kicked to the ground, her face blank.
She was just passing by.
Shen Yunyue sneered. She understood that Old Madam He Er was making a veiled attack.
It's nothing more than bringing out the deceased deposed Crown Princess and scolding her.
She raised her eyelids coldly and sneered in the direction of the He family:
"Second Madam, I'm afraid you're reluctant to let her go. You sent Miss He to various princes' palaces. Isn't it just for you to enjoy wealth and luxury?"
"After enjoying the wealth they brought, you can't stand not being able to help them for a while?"
Old Madam He Er turned around and stared at Shen Yunyue viciously.
"If it weren't for her, would our He Mansion be in this state?"
Shen Yunyue's face darkened, a fierce look in her eyes. "If it weren't for her intervention, the things you and your entire family would have been executed years ago for what you did."
"Are you talking nonsense?"
"Then ask your good parents-in-law what they did?" Shen Yunyue's words were like a thunderclap.
When the news reached the ears of several people in the He family, they were filled with panic.
In fact, Shen Yunyue didn't know what happened. She just vaguely remembered that the He family had committed a crime in the past, and it was the deposed Crown Princess Zhou Xuan who suppressed the matter.
