The sun sets westward, and the unbearable heat slowly faded away, and the cool breeze brought a little gentleness. The cicadas on the big elm tree at the door suddenly stopped chirping, and the world suddenly became quiet.

Chi Yuping and a worker held the window frames with glass and asked Zhang Chi who was standing in front: "How? How?"

Zhang Chi nodded: "It's great. There is glass on the window. I don't know what the house will look like in the future."

Chi Yuping and the workers carefully nailed the nails, took two big steps forward, turned around and looked again and again, praising: "Okay, okay, okay, this glass is really good! It looks like nothing, no

Block the sun. There is nothing now. In winter, there is no need to open the window. How comfortable it is to read books inside! Brother, we live in such a house, not like a god!"

Zhang Chi said: "Yes, who can think that there are such good things in the world! We can live in such a house!"

Goro ran over, arrived at the window, looked at it again and again, and reached out to touch it.

Chi Yuping looked and said loudly: "I dare not touch it with my hands! If I don't care, I will break it. This glass is not cheap!"

Goro grimaced and said, "It was broken in one go. What's the use of this glass? I just want to touch it, just touch it!"

As he said that, he touched the glass with his hands, constantly touching it. Seeing Chi Yuping blushing over there, he ran away with a laugh.

After everything was done, Chi Yuping patted her body and said to Zhang Chi: "It's not too early, your family should have dinner. I made an appointment with Yu Tongzhi from the east to go to drink tonight. I went to go late, afraid that he would gossip."

Zhang Chi said: "The food here is about to be ready. Why not drink two glasses of wine together?"

Chi Yuping smiled and said, "What are I talking about when you have dinner with your family? My sister-in-law will go back tomorrow. You can say a few more words."

After saying that, he said goodbye to Zhang Yan, who was sitting in the pavilion, and then said to Ding Niang who was picking vegetables in the vegetable field: "Sister-in-law, I'm back. When I return to Dengcheng, I just need to take care of my baby. After the New Year, I'll hug you

The fat boy is back."

Ding Niang said, "It's late, why not eat before leaving?"

Chi Yuping said: "I made an appointment with Yu Tongzhi to drink. I have put your glass in my house today, and I will put our two families tomorrow. We must discuss it carefully and don't make any mistakes at that time."

After saying that, he picked up his robe and put it on his body, and strode out of the door.

Looking at Chi Yuping's figure, Zhang Yan said to his son: "Tong Chi is not much different from your age, why haven't you married yet? He didn't see his family visiting him, and he lives here alone."

Zhang Chi said: "The family of Chi is a wealthy man, and it's different from me. He used to be a big man, but he insisted on joining the army and got into a lot of temper with his father. On the day he joined the army, he happened to meet the tutor, otherwise the army would not have been

Who would have thought that in the army, he had only been three months old, and he had lost all his body fat and became a burly and strong man. In the past two or three years, he has been angry with his family because of what happened back then. Now he has done so

Only when the family is down, they want Chi Tongzhi to come home. Chi Tongzhi refused and insisted on the people at home coming first."

Zhang Yan shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "Family, how can you be angry? Alas, Chi Tongzhi is still young after all. By the way, his age is here, why haven't you got married yet?"

Zhang Chi said: "He wants to find him at home, but he doesn't agree. The family is different, and he can't find him by himself. He's still dead."

After hearing this, Zhang Yan shook his head repeatedly, unable to understand what happened to these people. He said, "After all, they are from wealthy families, different from us. When you became an official, someone told you about this marriage and married Dingniang.

Your mother and I often wake up laughing at night—”

After saying that, I took a sip of tea and couldn't figure out what Chi Yuping was doing.

Gu Tsui

When Zhang Chi sat down, Zhang Yan asked, "This glass looks like a good thing, and it must be expensive. You keep saying that this is what the yamen pretends for you, and every family is the same. Tell me the truth, right?

Didn’t you pretend to spend money?”

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Dad, this house is not mine, it is from the yamen. The price of glass is expensive now, not my house. Why do I spend money to install glass? Don't worry, the houses nearby have been installed these days, not

Our family. Yesterday you didn’t go to the neighbor’s house and they also had glass.”

Zhang Yan said: "It's like dreaming. Since you became a soldier, it's like dreaming, everything is different. What kind of control do you have now? You have 50 stags of money a month. 50 stags, how big

The amount of money! It turns out to be your monthly salary!"

While talking, Zhang Yan shook his head. He really couldn't figure out that his son had fifty taels a month. How much does it cost to have so many generals in a month? Is the government so rich?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan said: "You have 50 stalemates a month. How many generals are there in the army who are just like you? Just pay the salary, how much does the government pay in a month? In the past two years, all miscellaneous taxes have been exempted, and only one acre of land has been

Where did the government get the money after collecting three dou of grain?"

Zhang Chi said: "Dad, don't think about these things. As long as we live a good life, eat and drink well, why bother thinking too much?"

Zhang Yan sighed: "How can you not think about it? In the past year, I have often thought about these things. Nowadays, the government collects too much taxes than before, but it is more generous in spending money? Erlang, you said, this money is

Where did it come from?”

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Dad, I can't even think of these things clearly, so don't worry about it."

Zhang Yan said: "How can you ignore it? Your good life now depends entirely on a monthly salary of fifty knots. If the government has money, your salary will continue to be paid. If the government suddenly loses money, what should our family do?

manage?"

Zhang Chi didn't know what to say for a moment, and looked at his father with a wry smile.

Zhang Yan shook his head, picked up the tea cup on the stone table and drank a sip of tea. He nodded and said, "The tea produced by Xinyang military is really good in this way. I have lived for decades, and the first time I know that tea has been still

You can drink this way. Oh, it’s such a good day now! But this day comes, it’s really like a dream. Erlang, how can I not worry?”

Zhang Chi had no choice but to say, "Dad, think about it slowly here. Let me see if the wine and food are ready."

Watching his son leave, Zhang Yan sat at the stone table, looked at the red pomegranate beside the wall, and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Chi went to the kitchen and said to his mother standing there: "Mom, is it ready to drink food? It's getting late, it's time to have a meal."

Mom said, "It's soon, it'll be fine soon. Oh, no one is allowed to interfere with the chefs you invited. I am the master, just watch here. How can this be done in the world? I see

Their skills are really good. Erlang, it will cost a lot of money to ask them?"

Zhang Chi said: "Mom doesn't care about these things. As long as they cook deliciously, the whole family will be happy."

Mom shook her head and sighed: "Hey, I really can't understand the world now. I'm not a very wealthy family. I cook at home and ask a chef to come to my house. How have you heard of this before? We're like this?

Small families have to do it themselves. It’s just that they hire two maids at home to help, and they can’t do it themselves. It’s not like now, they have to go outside to hire someone.”

Zhang Chi said: "Mom, now I am not as good as before. They have guilds, and there are rules for how to do things. Many families are not used to it for a while, and there are still lawsuits."

Mom said, "Fortunately, Ding Niang is not a person who is not touched by the spring water. She usually does work, so there is no need to invite someone. As you say, if you want a maid to come to your house, this is not OK, that is not OK, it is not OK.

Are you looking for trouble for yourself?”

Zhang Chi said: "They still do what they should do as my mother said. They just can't beat or scold me, otherwise they might cause something. In general, if they are at home like Ding Niang, there is nothing else to do.

, I won’t invite you.”

After Wang Xiaoli asked the servants and odd workers to set up a guild, they had a backer, which was very different from before. In the past, as long as the family was a little decent, they would raise two children at home. As long as they were concerned about their meals, they would not spend much money.
