After the "tomb robbing" incident was over, the Ye family's building team went to work as usual.
Last time, in order to save some money, the Ye family made the bricks by themselves, which took about half a month.
This time, they hired professional workers to make the products. The Ye family paid them promptly and provided lunch. In addition, with the intimidation of Ye Qingyun's "background", the workers hardly ever slacked off.
They were building at a breakneck pace.
Within half a month, the mud bricks were ready.
The next step is to start construction.
It was the beginning of April in the sixty-sixth year of the Qian Dynasty.
The Ye family’s new house has been completed.
And spring is drawing to a close.
More than half a year has passed since the last exam.
Ye Ruoxue is now six months old. Her skin is fair with a rosy glow, her eyes are big and round, like black and shiny crystal grapes, her cheeks are chubby, and she will laugh when adults tease her. She is a very well-behaved and cute baby.
Early spring has passed and early summer has arrived.
The Ye family’s belongings have been moved back into their new home.
The new house being built this time has six rooms.
In addition to the two new houses built in advance, there are eight houses in total.
Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye Zhang live together.
Ye Qingyun's biological father Ye Ping was supposed to share a room with his wife Huang Ying, but because he was often confused and had fits, his dangerousness was unclear, so the couple each had a room.
This was the first time that Ye Ping left the dilapidated woodshed and moved into a bright and clean new house since he went crazy.
He woke up by chance and was stunned for a long time.
After three rooms were taken, there were five rooms left, and Ye Youze and his wife Zhuang Qiuling also took one.
Zhuang Qiuyi had one room; and one of the Ye sisters was separated and also got a room.
Then there are only two left.
Of these two, one is kept as a guest room, although the Ye family doesn't have many guests.
One will be used as a new utility room.
These rooms are arranged front to back, left to right, with a main hall in the middle where ancestral tablets are enshrined.
The ancestors of the Ye family and the Huang family are placed on the left and right, and the two families are merged without disturbing each other.
At this point, the Ye family's life has completely changed.
They left the shabby thatched hut and moved into a bright, clean and sturdy new house.
Ye Wenyin and Ye Xiwen, who had worked as maids in the Lin family for many years, also returned home.
Ye Youze, the eldest brother of the Ye family, does not have to do the heavy work of moving bricks, which earns him very little.
On the day he resigned, he sent the foreman a pot of good wine and a bag of candy.
The foreman was a good man he had ever met in his working life.
Although he would supervise his workers to work hard, he was never vague when it came to paying their wages and gave them promptly.
And during festivals, workers will be given some extra small gifts. Although they are not very valuable, they are also a token of thoughtfulness.
Even when he asked for leave, he was very straightforward. He asked for leave for a long time, but the foreman did not remove him from the work list.
So Ye Youze always remembers his good points.
The foreman was somewhat emotional. He said, "Your little brother has really made progress. That's great. He will live a good life in the future."
Ye Youze scratched his head naively and smiled foolishly.
The other workers were quite envious. When would their families be able to have such a promising child?
Ye Zhang and Huang Ying were no longer busy embroidering to make money, but they still did not stop embroidering.
In my spare time, when I am killing time, I will still take out the embroidery tools and make some handkerchiefs for my family.
Especially for Chu Qi, as a scholar, it would be convenient for him to have a handkerchief when he is outside.
As for Mr. Ye, he no longer forced himself to write more couplets to make money during the Chinese New Year.
Chu Qi's long serial story "Jianghu Love Song" was completed last month.
She couldn’t stop making money, and she came up with a new story soon after it was finished.
But it’s not sold yet.
This time it is a story about cultivating immortals. "Xianxia: A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" is the new title Chu Qi gave it.
There were legends about gods and immortals in the Qian Dynasty, and Chu Qi had seen some records of them in a book.
But it is just a tiny bit. During the Qian Dynasty, there were very few records of myths and legends, and stories about supernatural beings, and there were no related novels.
Chu Qi had previously created the story of a fox demon repaying a favor. Initially, it was only famous in Yu Town, but later some curious people took it to other places for others to watch.
Gradually, the story of the fox demon Jiang Nu spread throughout Zhang County and had the potential to spread beyond.
The pen name "Chu Qi" gradually became known to outsiders.
She became famous.
As an author.
Not only Jiang Nu, "Love Song of Jianghu" also received good response.
Readers who know that Jianghu Love Song has ended, while feeling melancholy, are also secretly looking forward to Chu Qi's new story.
The more famous you are, the easier it is to make money.
The Qian Dynasty attached great importance to the intellectual property of literati, and only merchants with genuine authorization could sell the author's books.
Literary people also take pride in buying genuine products and feel ashamed to sell pirated products.
Except for a few shameless people who plagiarize genuine products and sell them, most people abide by the rules.
This also resulted in the door of Li Ji Bookstore being almost broken down by customers who came here to visit.
Just to buy the authentic copies of "The Fox's Gratitude" and "Love Song of the Jianghu" which are exclusively sold by Li Ji Bookstore.
Li Yue almost peed himself with laughter. He never expected that Brother Ye would give him such a big surprise. He quickly invited many scholars to help copy it and sell it as much as possible.
Because he made a lot of money from selling Huichun, Li Yue even gave Chu Qi an extra ten silver ingots as compensation for his previous royalties.
Famous literati in the Qing dynasty never had to worry about not having people appreciate their works.
Chu Qi is famous as an author, and the stories he writes are interesting and attractive. His fans can be said to be spread across a small half of the Gan Dynasty.
This is not the limit, as time goes by, your reputation will become even louder.
Now that she became famous, she had no shortage of bookstores to cooperate with.
Recently, the owners of a bookstore who wanted to collaborate with Chu Qi on a new story almost broke down the threshold of the Ye family's new building.
Not only the host, but also many fans came to visit, carrying gifts, some excitedly or pretending to be calm.
Chu Qi had to politely decline offers from other employers while also having to entertain fans who came to visit her, which made her very exhausted.
As a last resort, she had to hang up a sign saying that the door was closed and that she needed a quiet environment to write a new story.
In order to read new stories, the fans who were once enthusiastic and almost blindly stopped coming.
After being busy for a while, Li Yue had some free time and took the initiative to go to Ye's house to discuss the next cooperation with Chu Qi.
It’s not that Chu Qi doesn’t want to go to the bookstore, but the bookstore still has a steady stream of customers who come to buy books.
Moreover, they adhered to the principle that since they were already here, they would buy books and visit Yu Town at the same time. If Chu Qi went there, it would probably cause a sensation.
This is the situation that can only happen in prosperous times.
Although the common people in the Gan Dynasty generally still did not have enough to eat, most of them still had time and money.
There are many literati who are willing to travel for love.
The reason why Zhang County is so poor...
Please allow that under the rule of such a great country, there are still some areas that are in a stage of poverty.
After all, even in the 21st century, such a peaceful era, people still freeze to death on the streets.
