It was a June evening, at about 10 p.m., but it was not yet dark. Tang Shiyue had taken a shower, changed her clothes, and was about to go to bed when she heard someone knocking on the door, very lightly.
Tang Shiyue came over and opened the door, and saw Qi Jing standing outside. He had obviously just taken a shower and changed into the clothes she bought.
Tang Shiyue’s eyes widened suddenly!
Sleeveless shirts were definitely the boldest and most revealing type of clothing worn by ancient people!
In fact, when the weather was hot, many old men and young men wore this kind of clothes in the fields, but Qi Jing had never worn it.
Qi Jing's skin is not white, but an attractive honey color. He usually wears very tight clothes. But when he puts on a white sleeveless shirt with blue edges, it is just a thin layer, revealing his strong and beautiful arm muscles. Under the clothes, you can vaguely see his beautiful abdominal muscles... His figure is really amazing! Good!
And it’s two degrees more tender than usual! This is the real small! Fresh! Meat! Wow!
He was obviously uncomfortable all over, his thick long eyebrows were almost knotted, and he stood straight in the same place, as stiff as a piece of wood.
Facing her shining gaze, he quickly lowered his eyes and said in a flat voice: "I... I just wore it here to let you take a look, and then I'll go back and change. I'm not used to it."
She felt very sorry and resisted the urge to pinch it. "It's nice and cool, are you really not going to wear it?"
...
...
He said firmly: "No."
"Well, then," seeing the handsome man in front of her, Tang Shiyue felt a desire to monopolize her things, thinking "I can't let others see my things"... Well, actually, it was an unreasonable desire to monopolize something that was clearly not hers...
So she turned back to her room and took out another set of clothes: "I knew you had a lot of problems. Here, this one will do, right?"
He glanced at her and silently took the clothes. It was just an ordinary short-sleeved shirt. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care about the color. He nodded and turned away as if escaping.
…………
The next day, Qi Jing put on the clothes as expected.
The dress was a light indigo blue, with silk trimmed with silver-white edges, and the sash was a slightly darker indigo blue. Tang Shiyue also specifically asked for a small hairpin scarf of the same color to tie up her hair.
Well, it looks good, especially good. Except for the patch on the front... no, the flag, everything else looks really good.
Clothes these days are all made too big, and he is thin, with a very thin waist and a very straight back. As soon as he put them on, the energy of the bright moon and fresh breeze immediately came out.
As he walked through the village, the young ladies' eyes were almost glued to him.
This meant that when the head of the village took them to measure the land, in addition to the villagers who came to watch the fun, there were also many women and young ladies who came specifically to see Qi Xiaolang.
On the way, I visited Qi Jing's house first.
Because there were residents on the east side, the space in the middle was only measured to be about four acres, and the shape was slightly narrow and long and not very regular.
The head of the village asked him if he wanted to move to another place, but Qi Jing refused, so they decided to stay here and directly calculated the three acres.
Then I went to measure the place where the winery was located and found that it was about four and a half acres, so I calculated it as four acres.
Homesteads were not as expensive as good farmland. One mu of land only cost six taels of silver, so the total was only about forty taels. After the money was paid, the remaining formalities would naturally be handled by the village head at the government office.
As soon as the head of the village and the clan leader left, everyone gathered around and asked questions.
Soon, everyone knew that Fourth Uncle Tang was going to build a big winery, and its name was Fushou Winery.
The owners were Qi Jing and Fourth Uncle Tang, whose full name was Tang Xingye. The eldest son of Yuwai clan leader Tang Yong and the eldest son of the village head Chen Changyuan also joined the group.
Country people don't care about avoiding suspicion. For such a big event, the clan leader and the village chief are bound to get involved. However, in private, they are agreed that they don't have to pay the money for joining the partnership, but only get half of the interest for free, which is equivalent to the worry fee.
Someone said sourly: "Old Four has made a fortune!"
"How much money would it cost to build such a big winery?"
Some people also joked, "Tell us quickly how you got in touch with Qi Xiaolang!"
Qi Jing remained silent as usual. Fourth Uncle Tang was very comfortable in such situations. He smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Ah Jing! We'll have to trouble everyone to build the house later. We'll use blue bricks this time. Those who come will be paid 30 cents a day, with meals provided."
Everyone burst into laughter again.
When people in the countryside build houses or courtyard walls, they mostly use mud bricks, which are clay that is beaten into rectangles and then dried in the sun. These are country bricks and this type of house does not last long and needs to be repaired every two or three years.
There are also stone houses like the one Tang Shiyue lives in now. There are stones everywhere on the mountain, and they can be made using local materials, but it takes a lot of effort.
This time, Fourth Uncle Tang planned to buy ready-made blue bricks directly from the town. A place like a winery mainly needs land, so it is not difficult to build it. There is not much work to do in the fields right now, so a dozen people can build it in a few days.
Qi Jing's house was built by a specialized bricklayer from the county.
Everyone looked at Qi Xiaolang with even more fiery eyes.
Originally, Qi Jing, a stranger with no family or clan, was not considered a good match in the eyes of the villagers. But since the golden Buddha statue was unearthed, the villagers' views have changed a little. After all, it is equivalent to a fortune of several hundred taels of silver.
Especially now, Qi Jing is going to build a house.
It's so easy to build a house, Qi Xiaolang must have some spare money! I heard that even the wine recipe is his, which makes people jealous. Where can I find such a shining and wealthy son-in-law?
Then a brave young lady asked shyly: "Why did you choose this place to build your house?"
Qi Jing didn't look away, nor did he answer. The young lady's face became a little stiff. Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and tried to smooth things over: "A Jing has always been very polite and abided by the rules. He doesn't talk much with young ladies."
Everyone burst into laughter, and someone said, "Maybe Qi Xiaolang wants to be closer to the young lady from the Tang family? Isn't that right, Qi Xiaolang?"
Qi Jing nodded: "I did move to be closer to A Yue, but this is just my idea. We brothers are thinking of A Yue's kindness and voluntarily move closer to take care of her. It has nothing to do with A Yue, and she doesn't know about it."
Several young ladies were suddenly very sad, but they comforted themselves by thinking that Qi Xiaolang might just want to repay a favor and not out of any personal feelings.
At this moment, Madam Zhou suddenly ran over in a hurry and called out from a distance: "Boss! Boss! A Jing!"
She ran out of breath, and someone nearby had already supported her. Madam Zhou said anxiously: "Yuer, Yuer..."
Qi Jing's face changed and he jumped over like a fly: "What happened to Yue?"
Madam Zhou said anxiously, "Two people came just now, saying they were officials from the county government, and they took Yue'er away without any explanation! I chased them and asked them, but they wouldn't say why!"
An officer from the county government? Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
Qi Jing asked quickly, "Is it a carriage? Heading to town?"
Madam Zhou nodded hastily, and he quickly chased after her.
As soon as he left the crowd, Qi Jing sped up and ran at full speed, soon catching up with the carriage. Then he tiptoed, lightly jumped up, jumped directly onto the carriage, and kicked the door open.
