Wen Family Has a Wife

There is no problem with building a house with so many stones. Apart from the house, even the walls of Zhuangzi are built with stones, and the ground is also paved with stones. After the workshop was completed, even Huang Ergou and the others were amazed. It is like a stockade, covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 mu.

More than 1,000 acres are all courtyards. At the entrance there is a street that is not too long, two feet wide, with shops built on both sides, ten rooms on each side, all connected to the backyard, where people can live and do business. Behind the shops are rows of The small yard of the house, used by people, has ten households in a row, and there are twenty rows on both sides, which is equivalent to the living area and is also the periphery of the workshop.

The gate at the end of the street is the real entrance of the workshop. The layout inside is very similar to Jinyifang, and it is much larger than there. The weaving yard alone can accommodate hundreds of weavers working at the same time.

There is a high courtyard wall between the workshop and the living area, and no one else can enter.

The outermost courtyard wall imitates the construction method of the city wall. It is three zhang high and one zhang wide. There are small windows on the top, so you can see people outside. Unknown danger.

Once the heavy gates are closed, there is a self-sufficient world inside.

After the stockade was completed, Chen Ningya took the children around for a spin. Not to mention the children were amazed, even Chen Ningya herself couldn't believe it. It was incredible that such a place was actually created by their family. , This kind of sturdy stockade like an iron barrel is definitely a good place to live in a time of chaos, especially when there are 600 acres of land in the house, self-sufficiency is completely stress-free.

The Huang Ergou introduced to Chen Ningya didn't even know that her thinking had jumped a thousand miles away.

Such a big mansion would definitely not be able to be covered by walking. The group finally got tired from walking and replaced them with donkey carts. They walked around for a long time before they finished walking.

A few days later, Wen Youshan returned with the caravan and saw the just-completed stockade. He had the same reaction as Chen Ningya, but he obviously didn't have so many scruples, and directly joked: "It's true that this kind of place avoids the chaos of the army. good!"

Jiang Dayi nodded in agreement, "As long as you dig a ditch outside and destroy the bridges entering and leaving during the war, this is definitely a good hiding place, of course, provided there is no regular army attack."

Wen Youshan patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Jiang Dayi, you are so funny, this is a remote rural area, everyone knows that I am a workshop, and there is nothing valuable in it, and people go to great lengths to attack What do I do in this village? As long as it can prevent robbers and robbers, it will be very good."

"This is true." Jiang Dayi said.

After the group visited the workshop, Wen Youshan immediately greeted people to come and work. Those textile tools will be made before the silkworm cocoons come down next year. There are also beds and so on. In short, there are a lot of things to beat. Gou and Jiang Dayi are not very useful, and they still need a lot of carpenters. Wen Youshan simply recruited all the people who can do wood work in every mile and eight townships. Everyone divides the labor and cooperates. He is responsible for the important parts and the final assembly, and the speed is also very fast. Can be much faster.

When he is busy here, he can't take care of anything. Chen Ningya only needs to provoke all the household chores by herself, such as the New Year's ceremony, the settlement of goods, the settlement of accounts, the New Year's reward for the next person, etc. These messy things can make her Busy from day to night, thanks to the help of her two daughters, otherwise she would be absolutely daunting.

Wen Yuanhong and Wen Yuanxing came back under such circumstances. The wind and snow were so big that day. After listening to the mournful jackdaws all the way, the brothers only felt desolate in their hearts. I came back with my eldest brother and father after meeting, and it was so lively that I didn't feel anything.

This year, there were only the two of them and a coachman who picked them up by the way. It was extremely desolate, like a little cabbage that no one loved. This feeling was even worse after entering the house.

Both Wen Yuanhong brothers entered the house, their mothers and sisters hadn't found out yet, the abacus dials were crackling, and they didn't even lift their heads.

The two thought that someone would notice them after standing in the room for a while, but no, there was nothing!

Wen Yuanxing couldn't help it the most, and pursed his mouth in grievance and shouted, "Mother! Your son is back!"

Chen Ningya raised her head suddenly and said in a trance: "Yo! My old son is back! Why don't I know when he came? Hurry up, let my mother see, why does it seem to have lost a lot of weight!"

Wen Yuanxing plunged into Chen Ningya's arms, wrapped his arms around her neck and complained like a child, "My second brother and I have been back for a long time, and my mother and sisters didn't notice it. My feet were sore from standing."

This is an exaggeration, but Chen Ningya felt guilty and didn't care, and hurriedly asked the servants to prepare snacks for them.

Then he greeted the cook to boil hot water to bathe their feet.

After being busy and surviving, the faces of the brothers looked a lot better.

Wen Yuanhong looked at the account books on the table and asked, "Why are there so many accounts books to be counted this year?"

After Chen Ningya sat down, she rolled her eyes at him, "You think! In previous years, some of the accounts were read by your father, and he would handle it himself. This year, it will not work. Your father is too busy to touch the ground, and I don't want him to share it. My heart, I took it over myself, just as the newly built workshop at home is going to be put into operation next year, I took a look at the chassis of the home, counted the inventory again, and cleared the account."

The brothers looked at each other blankly, and said in unison, "A new workshop?"

Chen Ningya just remembered that she hadn't told the two of them about this, so she was embarrassed, "At that time in the spring, girl Zhen and Jing girl accompanied your eldest brother to Fucheng, and we had a big talk there. Our family’s workshop couldn’t afford to buy and sell, so we had to build another large workshop. Not long after the construction was completed, your father is now pulling your Uncle Sun and Uncle Huang to work there, dozens of people, every day. When you work at night, you don't have time to take care of other things."

The brothers were dumbfounded.

Wen Yuanhong sighed: "Mother, how much have you and my father made our family's business? We built another workshop, which is bigger than our village? How much money will it cost!"

"Second brother, is this the point?" Wen Yuanxing rolled his eyes at Wen Yuanhong and jumped angrily, "The point is that the two of them went to Fucheng without telling the two of us, and they all went! Now the two of us are not going anywhere!"

Wen Yuanxing was so indignant that he almost cried.

Wen Yuanzhen teased in a wicked way: "Little brother, tell you, we not only went to Fucheng, but also went shopping with Dad to discuss business. Several county towns have moved, played, ate, and bought. It's so cool!"

Wen Yuanxing clutched his heart and looked heartbroken.
