Just then, a gray pigeon silently landed on the top of the wall, looking left and right, and making a light "cooing" sound.
Yuwen Sheng glanced at it casually.
"No."
"Then don't go anywhere today. Wait for me to come back and we'll have the wedding. And then... I have something very important to tell you."
Zheng Quchi intends to formally bring up their contractual marriage.
Yuwen Sheng, however, thought she intended to use the wedding atmosphere to pour out her heart to him, and he smiled.
"good."
——
After saying hello, Zheng Quchi picked up a basket and went out.
When she arrived in the county town, she saw a group of people gathered around the bulletin board, discussing loudly.
"Look, the county is hiring stonemasons at a high price! That price is too high, it's tempting to buy one."
"Hey, what do you know? I just went there. They're looking for a skilled stonemason. A regular stonemason would only get a few copper coins for his work. There's no way he'd get that much."
"I heard a lot of people have signed up, but what are all these craftsmen for in the county?"
"It seems they said they were going to repair the city wall, or some people said they were going to dig a canal. Anyway, these officials always do things in a secretive way. How would we ordinary people know?"
"Brother, just how much money do you have that surprises you so much?"
A dark-skinned girl struggled to finally squeeze into the final round, but unfortunately she was too short and was blocked by several tall and strong men in front of her from seeing the content posted on the bulletin board.
"Of course it's a lot. We probably couldn't save that much money even if we worked our whole lives. It's a full ten strings of cash."
Zheng Quchi's eyes widened: "...Ten strings of cash?!"
"That's right, as long as the people recruiting stonemasons are willing to hire you, you'll get ten strings of cash for starting work!"
"How do I register?" Zheng Quchi asked excitedly, his eyes shining.
The man who had spoken glanced at Zheng Quchi, whose skin tone was unusual, and asked in surprise, "You're going?"
She waved her hand: "No, I'm registering for my second brother."
"This money isn't easy to earn. You should go back and discuss it with your second brother first." The eldest brother was truly sincere.
Zheng Quchi smiled and said, "No need. He still needs to earn money to support his wife and family. Besides, there's no such thing as easy money in this world."
That's true.
"Look, that's where the registration is. Why don't you go and ask for your second brother?"
After receiving the directions, Zheng Quchi thanked them and eagerly ran over.
She saw a middle-aged man wearing a black hat, dozing off with a calligraphy brush in his hand. In front of him were two pieces of paper, one with only two names written on it, and the other with names covered with X's.
It seems that recruiting craftsmen is really difficult this time.
