The old soldier shook his head in embarrassment. He really couldn't tell. Chu Lian didn't know what was going on. The small courtyard was noisy, and some people carried wooden boards in and out.
Mo Chenggui didn't know what the old soldier's unfinished words were, he couldn't get angry at all, but now he was healed immediately, jumping three feet high!
He slapped hard on the small table on the kang, and the teacup on it rattled, "Third Grandma thinks we are dead!"
At the beginning, he didn't agree with the old matriarch sending the third grandmother to the north, but she was just a little girl who had been spoiled all day long, what could she do!
Just look at what she has done along the way.
Why did she come to the northern border to share the worries of the third young master? She was clearly traveling in the mountains and rivers, and she was under the name of "public expenses"!
As soon as he arrived in the north, he caused trouble for the third young master, and he was subjected to military law.
Mo Chenggui had been suppressed by He Changdi before, even though he was extremely dissatisfied with Chu Lian, he still endured it. Everyone should do their own thing.
But this sudden heavy snow became the last straw, and Mo Chenggui's negative emotions accumulated to such an extent that he couldn't hold back anymore, and it was about to erupt like a volcano in an instant.
In the past two days, the first thing Chu Lian has to do when he wakes up every day is to go to the warehouse to see the progress of the old carpenter.
Although the old carpenter was too shrewd, he was skilled in the end. He made a promise and kept it wholeheartedly. He brought his children and grandchildren to stay for two days and two nights, and finally made almost what Chu Lian wanted.
The old carpenter got up to work before dawn, and when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he knew that it was Chu Lian who had come. Every morning at this time, this nobleman would come to take a look in person.
He put down the plane in his hand, and hastily greeted him, "Little old man, please greet the nobleman."
Chu Lian waved, "Master, can you finish the work today?"
When talking about carpentry work, the old carpenter seemed to straighten up proudly in an instant.
He stared at the things placed in the middle of the warehouse, as if looking at the child he brought up with his own hands, "Don't worry, my lord, the little old man keeps his word. It doesn't need to be night, the little old man can finish everything at noon."
Chu Lian took two steps closer. The old carpenter's work was very good, and what she made was basically exactly the same as what she drew on paper.
Chu Lian glanced at the warehouse and saw the old carpenter's children and grandchildren standing aside respectfully, and said strangely: "You don't have to take care of me, just do your own thing!"
The old carpenter smiled plainly, "Your lord, the little old man and these bastards didn't rest on purpose. The wood was used up, and Mr. Qin took someone to buy it early in the morning. The little old man is waiting, waiting for Mr. Qin Come back, it will be finished in half an hour."
Because it was the first time to make this thing, although Chu Lian knew the structure, he didn't know the material. He was afraid that it would not be strong enough. After discussing with the old carpenter, he chose fir with relatively high hardness.
Once the test is successful later, you can not be so constrained by the material.
Chu Lian nodded, left the warehouse, walked to the door, and ordered Wen Lan to send some food to the old carpenter and his children and grandchildren.
After a while, the old carpenter was sitting around the ground with his children and grandchildren holding a big bowl and gulping down the vegetable porridge in the bowl. That greedy look was not as shrewd as when he was negotiating terms with Chu Lian before.
Both sons and grandsons are like old carpenters, burying their heads in the bowl and only raising their heads when the bowl is empty.
After eating vegetable porridge and steamed buns with cabbage meat, the old carpenter wiped his mouth with his cuff and sighed, "What a crime!" Eating vegetables in the winter is still such juicy green vegetables. On the first morning, I saw this The morning meal, the old carpenter was frightened.
There are still green vegetables to eat in the cold winter, the life of the emperor is nothing more than this!
The old carpenter thought longingly.
Also, I don't know what was added to this porridge, but it still has a umami taste, which makes people want to eat three bowls in one go.
The woman who delivered the food came to collect the bowls every day, and the bowls of the old carpenter's family were always so shiny that they almost didn't need to be washed when they were taken home.
Chu Lian returned to the center of the room and laid it on the kang absent-mindedly. From time to time, he asked Qing Wenlan to go out to see if Guanshi Qin had returned.
Wenqing was secretly surprised, but she was more cautious. No matter how big the incident was, before, the third grandma would always smile, but this time it was rare to show anxiety and eagerness.
But sometimes it is a good spirit that is not a bad spirit.
Half an hour later, Li Xing hurried in to report.
"Xiangjun, Guanshi Qin and the others were taken into the side courtyard by Brother Mo."
Chu Lian frowned, and quickly asked Wen Lan to help her get up from the kang, and said with a serious face, "Let's go there!"
She has a small face, and her clear eyes are a little more deep. This appearance is actually somewhat similar to He Sanlang.
Guanshi Qin and his party, who were guarded by veterans in Hefu Pianyuan, knelt in the snow.
Mo Chenggui was standing on the porch. He looked coldly at Steward Qin, who was in the lead, and said, "Third Mistress, that little girl doesn't understand anything, but as a loyal servant, you are by your master's side and not only don't dissuade you." , actually let her run amok! When you are squandering here and there in the mansion, can you imagine what kind of life the people in the city and the soldiers in the barracks are living here!"
Guanshi Qin was blocked by a cloth towel, his hands were tied behind his back, his slightly fat face turned red, and he wanted to explain, but he couldn't speak at all!
Mo Chenggui snorted coldly, glanced at the fine fir trees placed beside him, and became even more furious.
Chinese fir! This kind of wood is expensive no matter where it is. In Liangzhou City in the north, where money is not even worth it, I am afraid that it can only be exchanged with a lot of food.
Their family will save food and drink all day long, but the third grandma is good, and she even took out the food and squandered it for some useless things!
Mo Chenggui couldn't extinguish his anger. He stared coldly at the "dog leg" of the third grandma in front of him, and said gloomyly: "The third grandma is a girl, so I don't want to see blood. Since the old lady ordered me to take care of the third grandma, I will take care of the third grandma today." Get rid of the harm for the third grandma!"
"Come on, give him fifty army sticks!"
As soon as Mo Chenggui finished speaking, two veterans pushed Guanshi Qin to the ground and forcibly took off the fur cloak he was wearing.
Each of the two veterans held a water and fire stick thicker than the wrist and raised it high, about to greet Guanshi Qin.
Because Mo Chenggui was discharged from the army, he still retains the military habits in his demeanor.
If there is a disagreement, it will be dealt with by the military law, and fifty army sticks... Even a strong and elite soldier can't stand fifty army sticks, let alone an ordinary person, Qin Guanshi. This is clearly to put Qin Guanshi to death.
A stick fell, and because it was covered by winter clothes, the army stick landed on Guanshi Qin's buttocks and made a muffled sound. It looked like nothing, but in fact it made people want to shout out in pain, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked, and Guanshi Qin could only Can whine twice.
Before the second stick landed, there was an angry shout from the gate of the yard: "Stop!"
