"Father."
Lei Daqiang looked at the faraway bricklayer\'s back as he built the wall, and then looked at Lei Tia lovingly, "Do we still need people here? I still have some strength left in me. "
Just as Qin Mian was about to speak, he was squeezed by Lei Tia\'s hand.
"We have enough men."
This attitude made Lei Daqiang extremely angry, and his face also became cold. He endured for a bit, and then changed the topic, "You already know that your brother is going to participate in the Tong Student Exam, right? You said you were going to pay. "
Qin Mian understood. He was here to ask for money.
Lei Tia nodded, "I remember. According to the branch family documents, whether it\'s the Fifth Brother entrance exam or the marriage of Fourth Younger Brother, Fifth Brother and little sister, father will pay you five dollars, we will pay you one. "
Lei Daqiang choked, "How can the situation be the same now? Right now, all of you are even more well-off, so you should have more money. This is also your heart\'s love and care for your sister-in-law. "
Lei Tia replied coldly, "We will pay that amount of money and will also give Fifth Brother some more money. However, we will not hand the money over to you."
Lei Daqiang was enraged from the bottom of his heart, and asked sternly: "What do you mean? As a father, would I be greedy for my son\'s money! "
Lei Tia said coldly: "You should know."
"You ??" Lei Daqiang thought of the twenty silver that Lei Tia had given him and felt guilty.
Lei Tia looked at him as if he was looking at a stranger, and said: "In the future, I will give you guys some money every month, but if you guys have nothing to do ??"
Lei Daqiang was shocked by his gaze. He really wanted to have the guts to shout "I don\'t care about your money, but I can\'t bear to part with it", but his lips moved but he was unable to say anything.
Qin Mian suddenly laughed.
Lei Tia looked at him in inquiry.
Qin Mian said: "Suddenly feeling that it\'s not a bad idea to tease them when there\'s nothing else to do."
Lei Tia patted his head, "Let\'s go home."
Five days later, all of Leisurely Dwelling House\'s walls were built, and Qin Mian and Lei Tia Family became a small, independent villa. The two of them began to deal with some of the details.
Without realizing it, it was already the late of February. In two days, it would be the day Lei Xiangzhi would participate in the County Examinations. The whole atmosphere in the house became tense. Even Lei Da Gang came to the house and sat for a while and gave Lei Xiangzhi five hundred gold coins. He told Lei Xiangzhi to take the examination properly. In this generation of the Lei Family, there was only this one scholar, whom they could not help but value.
After all, they were his own brothers. Qin Mian and Lei Tia came to the Old Manor together.
Before the two of them even sat down, Madam Du impatiently said: "Your Fifth Brother will need three days to go to the county to participate in the County Examinations. The Old Master and I gave him ten silver taels, and you guys gave it to him as well. "
Lei Xiangzhi silently sighed, "Mother."
Qin Mian and Lei Tia looked at each other speechlessly. Is there a need to be so hasty with money?
Qin Mian had no intention to argue with the Madam Du. He straightforwardly took out a five liang silver ingot and gave it to Lei Xiangzhi, "Fifth Brother, keep it. What you have learned is not easily forgotten; what you have not, it is too late to see. In the next two days, I will properly relax. Only by maintaining my best state can I perform exceptionally in the exam grounds. "
Everyone looked at Qin Mian in shock. Didn\'t he forget the past? Why do you know all this, and why do you speak so clearly?
Lei Xiangren and Mrs Zhao stared at the silver, wishing that the silver was given to them.
"Thank you, big brother." Lei Xiangzhi received the silver with both hands. If he refused and Madam Du and Lei Daqiang wanted to cause a ruckus, he might as well accept them generously. In the future, he would repay his brotherly and sister-in-law\'s kindness.
Madam Du and Lei Daqiang\'s expressions became a little better.
Lei Tia asked: "Are you going with the other scholars?"
The rare care and concern that the taciturn brother had for Lei Xiangzhi flattered him a little, and he couldn\'t help but straighten his back a little, "That\'s right. The two teachers in the academy will personally lead us. "
Lei Tia nodded, regaining his gloomy look.
The Madam Wei suggested: "It\'s rare to see each other today, so boss and boss\'s wife should stay for lunch. In two days, Ol \'Five would take the exam, and meeting up with his brothers would also boost his courage. "Ol \'Five, what do you think?"
Lei Xiangzhi naturally could only nod, "I wish for nothing more. Elder brother, elder sister-in-law, let\'s eat together. "
However, Qin Mian felt that Madam Wei\'s smile today was very forced. His right hand was always casually stroking his stomach, and there was a trace of undetectable gloominess hidden in his eyes.
The Madam Du glanced at Madam Wei complacently, and actually smiled amiably at Lei Tia and Lei Tia. Her voice was also very warm, "Stay here for lunch. At noon, I\'ll make some dry vegetables and stew some meat for all of you to taste. "
Qin Mian looked at her in horror and did not speak for a while. Is this really a Madam Du?
Lei Chuntao guessed what he was thinking and found it fu
y. "Eldest sister-in-law, it\'s such a pity that mother missed the dry dish of braised meat."
No one wanted to spoil the fun on a day like this. Qin Mian also nodded his head, "Then let\'s have a taste." As for why both the Madam Wei and the Madam Du were acting so strangely today, he did not take them to heart. As long as the fire did not burn her and Lei Tia\'s bodies, it would be fine.
If he agreed, Lei Tia would have no objections.
Madam Du was rare for her to be so generous, she cooked a huge pot of fragrant stewed meat with dried vegetables and put in two big plates. Qin Mian ate three bowls of rice, Lei Tia ate four bowls, Madam Du and Lei Daqiang did not give them any face.
It was the best meal in the house.
When they left, Lei Tia looked at them with his eyes.
After exiting the courtyard, he lightly said to Lei Xiangzhi: "You only focus on the exams and learning. Don\'t worry about the money, in the future, during the examinations in the manor, your sister-in-law and I will support you."
Qin Mian nodded with a smile.
Lei Xiangzhi bowed deeply, "Thank you, big brother."
Qin Mian thought for a while, and said in the end, "It\'s best not to mention this to anyone else, in case something unexpected happens."
Lei Xiangzhi replied: "I can."
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lei Xiangzhi returned from the county and brought back good news. He had achieved a good rank in the competition, and everyone in the Lei Family were elated. Although it was only a county test, first place was still extremely rare. It could be seen that Lei Xiangzhi was indeed a good candidate to be a scholar. After resting at home for a day, Lei Xiangzhi returned to the academy to prepare for the April examinations. If he passed the examinations, then he would be an Elementary Scholar, and if he passed the examinations, then he would be an Elementary Scholar.
"..."
The Leisurely Dwelling House was different from day to day, under the care of Qin Mian and Lei Tia. It was only in March that the two of them were completely occupied, and their Leisurely Dwelling House s were officially completed.
The walls of the manor are covered with cactus, which can be used both for ornamental purposes and for protection against thieves." The door was a red lacquered gate, wide enough for two carriages to enter side by side, and eight feet high. The red wall on the right side of the gate had the words "You Ran", which was made up of green brick. On the left side was the word "Tian Residence", which was neat and eye-catching and as tall as a man. There was a duty room to the left of the door. The manor was too large for him, so he had to hire a gatekeeper, which was temporarily empty. To the left of the duty room was a row of servants\' rooms, all in three rooms, a total of four. To the north of the servants\' quarters was Plum Grove.
To the right of the gate was another row of houses, one for firewood, tools, and carts, the other four for cattle, pigs, chickens, and stables. There were ten pear trees planted in front of the house.
Walk straight through the gate and you can see the wooden arch bridge and the pond at a glance. There was a peach tree on each side of the wooden arch bridge. The pond had already been planted with fish seedlings and lotus roots. Only then did Little He reveal his sharp horn. A gravel path that would allow two people to walk together wound around the pond, next to which were scattered three or five willow trees. A long wooden chair was placed under a willow tree near the north end of the bridge. Not far away from the other willow tree was a round stone table and four stone stools. The carefully tended calabash shaped flower beds were almost completely parallel to the stone road. Inside, there were welcoming flowers, magnolia flowers, peony flowers, peonies, camellias, gardenia, etc. Some were dug out from the mountains, and some were smuggled out by Qin Mian. The flowerbeds opened a path to the east and west, allowing others to travel with them.
To the north of the pond was the Peach Tree. To the west of the Peach Wood, to the northwest, was a large area of vegetable and pepper fields. Qin Mian felt that the smell of the pepper was not as fragrant as before. Furthermore, there were times when the vegetables were watered with feces. On the east side of the peach forest was Qin Mian\'s and Lei Tia\'s house. There were two more trees in front of the house. One was a Ginkgo tree that was around twenty years old, and the other was a maple tree that was around forty years old. Qin Mian and Lei Tia had found these trees on the mountain and specially dug them out. Ginkgo and maple are great choices for ornamental plants.
There were some open spaces around the house for future expansion.
After passing the Peach Blossom Forest and going towards the north, they would reach the small forest. For the time being, they had not reformed yet. To the north and east of the grove were twenty orange trees, six cherry trees, six jujube trees, and two pomegranate trees.
It was now March, and the Tian Ku Li Flowers were in full bloom. The white plum and pear blossoms were like winter branches wrapped in snow. The delicate and beautiful peach blossoms were like pink clouds while the pink and purple cherry blossoms competed against each other ?? There were also white magnolia flowers in the flower beds, yellow welcoming spring, pink peonies, red tea flowers, and so on. The flowers were lush and luxuriant, causing butterflies to dance, and bees to buzz for a long time, unwilling to leave.
Qin Mian looked at the manor that he had built himself, with his hands behind his back, he raised his head and gave Lei Tia a satisfied and self-satisfied smile.
"How about our new home?"
Lei Tia hugged the person beside him, lowered his head, and lightly kissed Qin Mian on the lips as he said in a low voice: "You are the home."
The smile in Qin Mian\'s eyes became even more pronounced, and it was filled with joy and sweetness. "Come, let\'s go take a seat over there."
After being nourished by the Spirit Spring Water for a long time, her black hair had become even brighter, and she had burrowed her way out of the flowers, agilely avoiding the angry bees. Seeing her two masters walk far away, she quickly followed behind.
