After being exiled, relying on space to pamper the chief assistant

The weak sound accurately reached Ye Zhen's ears, leaving her stunned.

She believes that she is not some Virgin White Lotus, and her willingness to rescue the other party is entirely out of humanitarianism.

No conscientious person would stand idly by when seeing a person in danger on the roadside.

Pursing her lips slightly, Ye Zhen tried her best to put on a comforting smile and said:

"There's no need to thank you. You'd better get well soon and repay me with practical actions!"

After saying that, she walked out of the back room without giving the other party another chance.

Ye Zhen didn't know or understand Lin Bin, but she knew very well that the most important thing now was to give him the courage and goal to live.

Even though I have put in so much effort, I don't want to watch the other person step into the abyss again, so timely stimulation is still necessary.

When she walked to the gate, Ye Zhen's eyes collided with Xie Yunshu's.

Seeing the hint of concern in the other person's eyes, Ye Zhen smiled and said to him:

"People have been persuaded for the time being, and they should no longer seek death and life."

Hearing this, Xie Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the other party with a hint of trust in his eyes that he hadn't noticed yet.

Even though he did not know how to express his sympathy and empathy for Lin Bin, who was both a fallen man in the world, he did not want such a famous person to disappear from the world and succumb to his own fate.

Xie Yunshu was unwilling to let go of his hatred easily, and he also didn't want Lin Bin to go to that point.

Although Prime Minister Xie and Duke Zhen Guo had different official positions and had little contact with each other, they were both upright and loyal, and both dedicated their lives to the domain and the people of Liming.

Why did their two families end up like this?

Xie Yunshu was unwilling to give up, and so was Lin Bin!

But Ye Zhen couldn't care about the resentment in the two people's hearts at this time. She only knew that people are like iron rice and steel, and she would starve if she didn't eat even one meal.

Lin Bin had just woken up from a coma. Not only could he not stop taking medicine, he also had to eat to replenish some energy.

She hurried into the kitchen, took out the red dates and wolfberry porridge she had cooked all morning, and walked into the back room.

"I'll do it!"

Seeing that the other party was about to walk into the room, Xie Yunshu took the porcelain bowl from Ye Zhen's hand and took the initiative to take over the job.

Ye Zhen gave him a strange look, but she didn't say much and went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the family.

Xie Yunshu limped into the back room with a bowl in his hands. The expression on his face was still calm, but his heart was twisted.

Although he and Ye Zhen were not actually married, they were married after all. He had already made a concession to let the other party take care of another man.

But he is not willing to do something as intimate as feeding porridge!

Fortunately, Lin Bin was not that hypocritical person. After thinking about it in his mind, he had no resistance to Xie Yunshu's actions, but his eyes always stayed on the other party's legs from time to time.

Everyone can see that Xie Yunshu's leg is seriously injured.

At first, Xie Yunshu himself would still feel resentful about this. But when he got used to the current life and heard that Ye Zhen was struggling to heal his leg injury from his repeated words, he felt relieved.

.

Speaking of which, Lin Bin's injury was lighter than Xie Yunshu's.

The reason why he ended up in his current situation was entirely because he had no intention of living anymore, so he took a trip to hell.

In order to torture Xie Yunshu, the emperor broke his legs and sent him into exile instead of beheading him directly.

But for Lin Bin, the old emperor did not dare to exterminate Zhen Guogong and his family, and then exiled him from the capital after dealing with some punishment that did not harm the fundamentals.

After all, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Northern Xinjiang were all brothers who had followed Duke Zhenguo through life and death. The old emperor was still a little afraid of pushing people into a hurry and directly rebelled.

In the back room, spoonfuls of porridge were fed into Lin Bin's mouth, and the two men were in tacit understanding without saying a word.

Only after seeing the bottom of the bowl of porridge, Xie Yunshu took back his hand and whispered:

"Take good care of your injuries."

Then he stood up and left without much communication.

Sympathy is sympathy, the two of them had no friendship before this, and now there is at most a feeling of sympathy for each other, nothing more.

After lunch, Ye Zhen went in and took another look. Seeing that Lin Bin had fallen asleep, she left without disturbing him.

Not long after, a rare donkey cart pulled the wedding bed that Ye Zhen had ordered from Carpenter Zheng next door to their door. Huang Chuan, who had not been seen for several days, came with it.

"You just moved here and they don't know the way, so I brought them here and talked about building a house."

With a smile on his face, Huang Chuan helped the driver to move the wedding bed out of the car.

Xie Yunshu wanted to help, but Huang Chuan saw that his leg was still injured and refused to let him go. Instead, several villagers came to help.

This marriage bed was so heavy that even four or five grown men had to grit their teeth and move into the outhouse together.

The door to the back room was closed, partly to hide Lin Bin's figure inside, but also because there really wasn't much space for another bed in the back room.

Fortunately, the outhouse is big enough. If you move the table slightly outside, the wedding bed can fit perfectly inside.

This trip was so busy that everyone was sweating profusely. Ye Zhen originally wanted to give some wages, but the villagers were extremely simple and refused to accept the offer.

In desperation, Ye Zhen had an idea, and each of them grabbed some black fungus that she had cleaned and asked them to take them back to cook.

The villagers present were not unfamiliar with black fungus, after all, this thing is still common in barbarian lands.

These old people who have lived in the village for several years all know that when it rains in summer, some trees will grow in front of and behind the house.

But it's definitely not as much as the ones in the woods behind the mountain. It's basically just a small handful, but it's enough to make a dish.

Although the taste of fungus is not as good as that of mushrooms, it can still be regarded as a little solace in their hard life.

Several villagers picked up the fungus with a smile and left.

The donkey cart driver brought the purchase contract that Carpenter Zheng had signed with Ye Zhen to collect the bill on his behalf.

Carpenters are only responsible for building furniture and appliances, and most of the transportation is done by people they have long-term cooperation with.

After Ye Zhen verified that the contract was correct, she handed over the remaining silver to the other party. After counting the money, the coachman tore up the contract in front of the other party.

This is considered as clearing both money and goods.

After seeing off the coachman, Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu took Huang Chuan into the outhouse and sat down to talk about building a house.

When talking about building a house, Huang Chuan frowned slightly, and his words seemed completely different from those of Aunt Huang.

"Mrs. Xie, Mr. Xie, have you really decided to build a large house with blue bricks and tiles? I went to the county and asked. A courtyard with one entrance and one exit would cost at least two hundred blue bricks. One blue brick can

It’s only five cents, not counting the cost of bricklayers and furniture.”

Just two to three hundred green bricks?

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, she originally thought it would be more.

The courtyard they entered and exited was enough for their family to live in. Her design only detailed the interior of the only house and divided it into different rooms. The actual floor area did not change much.

In her opinion, the internal planning of ordinary houses in this era is really wasteful. More than 100 square meters are divided into inner and outer rooms, which is extremely empty.

Also, it is still ancient times and the population is not crowded.

Not a few people die every year due to wars and natural disasters. What's more, people in many places don't have enough to eat, and many people starve to death.

Seeing that Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu didn't say anything, Huang Chuan continued to persuade him:

"In this place, there is no need to mobilize people and spend so much money to build a house with blue bricks and large tiles. If you don't like wooden houses, it is also good to build an ordinary brick house."

It's not that he's worried that the other party can't afford it. After all, he's seen how well eels and snails sell in the county.

It's just a waste to build a big brick house in such a remote village. With this kind of money, I might as well buy a nice little yard in the county town!

At this point, Xie Yunshu completely regarded himself as an invisible person and had no intention of participating in the discussion of this topic.

He knew very well that Ye Zhen earned the money herself, and it was his idea to rebuild the house. She even drew a design drawing herself!

"Brother Huang, I have made up my mind. After looking at it, a house with green bricks and large tiles is suitable."

"All right."

After hearing Ye Zhen's very affirmative answer, Huang Chuan gave up and explained to the other party carefully.

In fact, even in ancient times, building a house was a big project. After all, there were not so many modern equipment here and it basically relied on manpower.

For this matter, Huangchuan spent a whole day on a trip to the county seat and asked around.

As long as the number of brick kilns for firing green bricks exceeds 300 pieces, you can bring your own workers to build a house, and you only need to provide two meals.

The bricklayer's price is quite cheap, but this is compared to the blue bricks. According to Ye Zhen's design, the total cost is about five taels of silver.

For other necessary furniture, such as the kitchen stove, you have to hire someone else to make it. Fortunately, the cost is not expensive, and the total cost is less than five taels of silver.

As for furniture such as tables, chairs, bed cabinets, they need to be customized by a carpenter. Ye Zhen already has a plan in mind.

She recognized the previous carpenter Zheng's craftsmanship very much and wanted to leave the work to him.

Once everything was settled, Ye Zhen felt much more relaxed. She only needed to follow Huang Chuan to the responsible persons to sign the contract and pay the deposit, and the building of the house could be put on the agenda.

As for the location, there was plenty of wasteland around the bamboo house, enough for her to worry about.

But Ye Zhen plans to build it three meters next to the bamboo houses. When the new house is built, she will find someone to repair the bamboo houses a little bit.

She has a big plan in mind! This bamboo house will come in handy in the future.

There was nothing going on in the afternoon, so Ye Zhen followed Huang Chuan into the city to sign a contract and settle the matter of building a house.

Fortunately, the family bought a carriage before, and she took good care of the horse these days, which came in handy when needed.

As a native, Huang Chuan naturally knew how to drive a carriage. The two of them entered the city all the way and rushed to the brick kiln and the bricklayers respectively.

The people who came forward from the brick kiln and the bricklayers were obviously experienced businessmen, and their attitudes were not different just because they were dressed in ordinary clothes or were Han Chinese.

Especially after Ye Zhen generously took out the deposit, they became even more attentive and set a date for the start of construction.

The bricklayer had to be hired after the brick kiln started construction. Fortunately, the people in Huangchuan were smart and chose a bricklayer who often cooperated with that brick kiln. The two parties quickly reached an agreement.

After visiting these two houses, there is no need to worry about the others, they will only be needed after the house is built.

The pace of the two of them slowed down.

Ye Zhen was sitting in the carriage, thinking that Huang Chuan had put so much effort into making connections for her, so he had to at least treat someone to a meal, right?

This is an idea that is engraved in my bones as a Chinese.

She opened the curtain and said to the other party:

"Brother Huang, you are tired after running for so long. Let's find a place to eat!"
