The two families said that even digging a cellar requires skills and it is not something that can be dug out with just two hoes.
It's so sad. I don't know if other people feel the same way as them.
Looking at the dark night sky, the two families decided not to think about it anymore and just pick up some firewood and spend the night together!
Let’s talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say!
As for the people in Zhangjia Village, they were obviously luckier than the Chen and Wang families.
Although Xiahe Village is generally poor, it has many mountains and cave dwellings, so accommodation for the first night was easily solved.
As the night deepens, the stars in the sky blink their big watery eyes like naughty children.
Jin Bao and his companions had just laid down for a short while when they got up. At daybreak, they drove away in their ox carts.
And everyone in the Ling family was still dating Zhou Gong in their dreams.
It was the first time in more than three months that I slept so peacefully, and I couldn't help but feel a little attached to the warmth of the quilt.
Chi Xingyue slept until the sun was high in the sky before she opened her eyes. She was stunned for a few seconds when she saw someone beside her.
"Ling Jiheng, didn't I say each person gets a quilt?"
Ling Jiheng reached out and stroked Chi Xingyue's messy hair: "Hmm!"
There is absolutely no intention to explain.
Chi Xingyue rolled her eyes, rolled over on the bed, and asked, "What time is it?"
After I finished speaking, I realized that I had said the wrong thing. I sank my consciousness into space and looked at the watch on the rose branch. Ha, it’s already past ten o’clock!
He quickly got up, opened the door, called Baozhu to bring him some water, then washed up and picked out a relatively fitting autumn outfit from the closet to change into.
She had been in the Dayong Dynasty for nearly four months. Except for the first two months which were quite hard, she had spent the rest of the time on the ox cart.
I often go to the space to eat fruits and drink bird's nests, and my skin has returned to its normal color and even become more hydrated.
Even her height had increased significantly. Chi Xingyue felt that she was about 1.55 meters tall, only slightly shorter than the other female members of the Ling family.
But fortunately, there is still room for growth. Before anything else, I need to catch up quickly.
By the way, what should we eat to grow taller? Bone soup, right?
It seems that Baozhu has to cook a pot for her regularly.
Chi Xingyue came to the dressing table and put all the precious jewels in the dressing box into the space.
She replaced her clothes with some ordinary silver jewelry, picked out a hairpin carved with ginkgo leaves, tied her hair up, and prepared to go out.
Ling Jiheng saw that there was nothing on the dressing table except the box he had looted from the Black Wind Village, so he decided to go to the county to buy some rouge and powder to add some color to the little fairy's outfit.
After they had packed up, Ling Jiheng took Chi Xingyue's hand and walked to the corner. "These are what Jinbao exchanged for silver notes. Take a look and see if there's anything you like!"
Chi Xingyue opened the box and found a lot of goodies inside. Without exception, he put them all into the space, leaving nothing outside.
She also stuffed the empty box into the inner room to prevent anyone from coming in and opening it and finding nothing inside.
Ling Jiheng smiled and walked out with his friend. Breathing the cool air, he felt refreshed.
Shu Muyun, who was next door, heard the noise and hurried out. Seeing the young couple holding hands, a smile bloomed on his face.
"Xingyue, how did you sleep last night?"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "Very good, has mother had breakfast?"
Shu Muyun waved his hand: "I just got up too!"
Seeing that her head was bald with only a wooden branch to hold her hair together, Chi Xingyue quickly shook off Ling Jiheng and took her mother-in-law back to the house to choose jewelry.
Shu Muyun looked at the silver hairpins, silver bracelets, and pearl earrings in the box and was quite delighted: "Where did these come from? They are quite exquisite!"
Chi Xingyue revealed the truth to Shu Muyun: "My husband was hiding outside and was brought here by Jinbao.
There were also some gold and jade ornaments. I thought we needed to keep a low profile in the village, so I locked those things up.
Do you want some, Mom? I'll get you some."
Shu Muyun waved his hands quickly: "No, no, just hide it well, so that the villagers won't be jealous.
As for the things in the box, take them out and share them with your aunt and uncle, and let them keep them in the bottom of the box!"
When Shu Muyun spoke, there was a look of pride in his eyes.
Yes, in the past, everyone’s conditions were similar, and no one could stand out from the others.
It’s different now. Other families are penniless, but her family has no worries about food and drink. Shu Muyun is so proud of herself!
This was the scene that Ling Jiheng and Ling Weicheng saw when they came in from outside.
Ling Jiheng directly told the others about his plan: "I think our family cannot be without money, and the first and third wives can't always rely on our second wife for support.
I plan to give some money to my grandmother and ask her to divide it among the first and third wives.
From now on, each of us will take care of our own affairs and pay five to ten taels of silver to Grandmother every month for her expenses."
Shu Muyun thought this was a good idea. He would have money but wouldn't have to be in charge of the household, which would save him a lot of trouble.
Ling Weicheng also thought it was a good idea. At least they had a place to live and food to eat, so the two families wouldn't have to go broke.
However, before they could say anything, Xiao He came over to ask for help.
Chi Xingyue followed her mother-in-law, holding the box, looking like a young wife.
Ling Jiheng reached out to take her box, still having enough strength to hold her little hoof. Chi Xingyue smiled, still a little shy.
Before long, they arrived at Courtyard No. 1. Old Master Ling was instructing the housekeeper to order a few plaques to restore the courtyard's name to the names of the various courtyards in the Ling family's old house.
For example, Courtyard No. 1 is called Rongsi Courtyard, Courtyard No. 2 is called Tinglan Courtyard, Courtyard No. 3 is called Qingfeng Courtyard, and Courtyard No. 4 is called Zhegui Courtyard because the old man is in charge.
After greeting Old Master Ling, they came to the east room.
Ling Weicheng took the opportunity to tell the old lady the opinions of several people. The old lady nodded repeatedly and had the same idea.
"I've discussed this with your father, and we've decided to separate the family but not the household!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man came over with people from the second and third rooms, and even "outsiders" such as Shu Xuhong, Ge Jinglan and Shu Rui were not left behind.
"I called you here today to celebrate the Ling family's safe arrival in Youzhou and our settlement in Qingshan Village.
Secondly, I just want to discuss how to live in the future!"
As soon as the words fell, Ling Weiyuan and Ling Weicun looked at each other.
Both of them know their family's situation. If they are separated, how will they survive?
"Dad, what do you mean, do you want to split up the family?
We just arrived in Youzhou and haven’t recovered yet, and you’re sending us away. How can we…”
Geng Suhua lost her temper and was about to cry when she was interrupted by the old lady.
"Who do you think your father and I are to care about your life or death? If we really wanted to be hands-off, you would have been sleeping on the streets last night!
You are already an adult, and you can't even listen to everything! "
Geng Suhua awkwardly held back her tears and smiled flatteringly, "I'm just anxious. Mom, tell me, tell me!"
The old lady sighed: "You all know why our Ling family came to Youzhou without me telling you.
After this ordeal, your father and I discussed it and decided to separate the family but not the households from now on.
This way, there will be fewer people required to perform corvee labor in the future!"
