Chapter 502: Asking for Eight Characters

"However, your workshop is too big. If you want to complete it and put it into use, it will probably take until the end of the year." Craftsman Gong pointed to the blueprint and said, it is really too big. Just building the wall is a big project.

Qin Xiaomi said: "No, it can be built in sections. Start with the well in the backyard. It only takes two months to build a yard and put it into use."

By then, once the gate of the yard is closed, they can give birth in the yard, while the workers will work outside and will not be affected.

Dong, Master Gong knocked his head and laughed, "I am really old, my brain is not very sharp anymore... It can indeed be built this way."

These are single buildings with unconnected structures. Being built separately will not affect their stability.

"Okay, this time we won't build from the front, we'll start from the backyard instead." Master Craftsman Gong made the decision, and after showing Master Craftsman Liu the blueprint for three quarters of an hour, he stood up and told the workers to start measuring the land and marking it with lime.

Fortunately, we arrived early. By the time we had finished marking the construction site of the entire workshop with lime, it was already two quarters past the evening hour.

Master Craftsman Liu urged: "It's getting dark, Brother Gong, let's pack up our stuff and go!"

The ghost village is spooky. If you stay there too late, you will be targeted.

"I'll be right back." Master Gong asked Qin Xiaomi again, "Daughter of the Qin family, can we take this construction plan back with us?"

Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "Okay, this one is for you."

There is nothing to be kept secret about this construction drawing. It only needs to be kept secret if a secret room is to be built in the future.

The master craftsman Gong was very happy and promised: "I will take good care of this painting and will never damage it."

He would also be heartbroken if such a good construction plan was destroyed.

Grandpa Qin brought Qin Ying and Qin Eryong with him and brought some gifts: "Master Craftsman Gong and Master Craftsman Liu, you have worked hard today. Take these two baskets of food and two pieces of colored cloth back with you... You must accept them. This is the rule."

"Okay, we'll accept it." Master Craftsman Gong accepted the things and left with Master Craftsman Liu and other workers on the Gong family's mule cart.

After the ghost village was no longer in sight, Master Craftsman Liu breathed a sigh of relief...he had finally managed to leave the ghost village before dark.

Gong Da, the master craftsman, laughed out loud: "Brother Liu, we are craftsmen. If the nobles give the order, we will even build the tomb. Are you still afraid of a few rumors?"

The Ministry of Works was not only responsible for building city walls, but also for building imperial mausoleums and tombs of dukes and ministers.

Master Craftsman Liu smiled awkwardly: "I can't help it. I'm a local and grew up listening to stories about ghost villages. I'm not lying, brother. This really can stop children from crying at night!"

Hahahaha, Master Craftsman Gong laughed when he heard this, and the two of them got along better and better.

The construction of a large workshop cannot be started so quickly, as there is still a lot of work to be prepared in the early stages.

April 8th is another good day.

Granny Qin Liu went to knock on Qin Xiaomi's door when it was still dark: "Fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law, hurry up and get up. We need to boil some hot water to take a shower, change clothes and go see the head of the Lu clan!"

Today was the day agreed upon by the Qin and Lu families to visit the girl's family and ask for her horoscope.

Qin Xiaomi was annoyed by the noise: "Deduct bonus points!"

Qin Liupo: "Knock, knock, knock, compared to your uncle Ying's big event, deducting some dividends is nothing!"

Qin Xiaomi bared her teeth in anger: "..."

Zhu Yiqing brought her two small balls of cotton: "Little boss, plug your ears, the sound will be much quieter."

Qin Xiaomi took it, blocked her ears with it, covered her head with the quilt, and took a nap.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin got up to open the door and asked the servants to boil some hot water so that Grandma Qin Liu and her husband and Qin Ying could take a bath and wash up.

He also prepared gifts for the visit. After two hours of hard work, he finally loaded the gifts and sat on the donkey cart to Lujia Village.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also accompanied them as elders.

When he arrived at the residence of Patriarch Lu, it was the beginning of the Si hour, a very auspicious time to visit.

"Oh, Brother Lu and Sister Lu, we are here to bother you." Aunt Qin Liu smiled so much that her face wrinkled as if she had seen the God of Wealth.

He called Qin Ying again, "Hurry up and pay your respects to your Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu."

"Welcome Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, may you two be blessed with good health and happiness." Qin Ying bowed.

"Okay, okay, no need to be so polite, just come in." Patriarch Lu and Mrs. Lu were also smiling, because Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were also here, which showed their concern for their cousin Qin Ying.

As long as the two heads of the Qin family truly love Qin Ying, then they have made the right choice as a son-in-law!

"Brother Lu, Sister Lu." Grandpa Qin greeted them and went into the main hall of the Lu family with Grandma Qin.

Qin Ying went to move things.

When the things were moved to Lu's house, all the daughters-in-law of Lu were surprised.

Who said Qin Liupo is stingy?

Can a stingy person bring half a car of gifts to the girl's house to meet her?

Come on, half of the gifts in this car are colored cloths from the workshop. Some of these cloths were given by Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, but most of them were bought by Qin Mei and Qin Ying from the workshop.

There were also chickens, eggs, meat, sugar, and noodles, which were also purchased by Qin Ying with his share of the dividends, and Qin Liupo and his wife did not spend a penny.

These two are very smart. From the moment they started to arrange marriages for their children, they divided the family dividends into several parts, under the pretext that this would prevent you from fighting over the inheritance in the future and ruining our relationship, so your parents would divide it among you first.

You should use your own money to get married and build a house, so don't spend it recklessly. If you run out of money, don't come to us.

We are old, and you, as our children, have to provide us with pension money every month!

However, the Lu family did not accept all of the gifts. They divided the gifts into two parts, intending to return half of them when the Qin family left.

After sitting down, Mrs. Lu called Lu Jiu out to greet her.

"Oh, this is Jiuya, you are so beautiful. When I saw you, it was like seeing my own daughter. You are destined to be a member of my family." Auntie Qin Liu was very satisfied when she saw that Lu Jiuya was gentle and spoke softly.

There was no other reason, it was just because she felt that such a daughter-in-law was the easiest to control, the type who would just hide and cry secretly when scolded, and then continue to serve the whole family after crying.

Unfortunately, she was wrong!

Lu Jiu only looked gentle, but she was actually strong-willed. Because she was adopted, she had been criticized by jealous people in the village since she was a child. At first, she would endure it, but later, she would fight back in person.

If the other party is of a higher seniority, she would not be able to confront him directly, so she would go around it and ask Chief Lu, Mrs. Lu, or other clan members present to help her save face.

Therefore, up to now, no one in Lujia Village dares to adopt her, and she has become the daughter of the clan leader and a talk show.

Lu Jiu's face turned red, he smiled slightly, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Oh, you are shy." Qin Liupo joked, feeling more satisfied. She wished she could marry Lu Jiu tomorrow so that she could act like a mother-in-law!

"Aunt, you have worked hard on the journey. I made some cakes. Go and get them for you to fill your stomach." Lu Jiu said softly, pulled back his hand that was held by Qin Liupo, and went to the kitchen to get some cakes.

After tasting the cakes, Qin Liupo went to see Lu Jiu's embroidery, woven cloth, and account books... At noon, she had a meal prepared by Chef Lu Jiu and was extremely satisfied.

The Lu family was also very satisfied with Qin Ying... He was indeed an honest man, but he was always looking for work to do. He was a little slow to react and didn't talk much, but what he said was always to the point.

The most important thing is that he is interested in my younger sister and is willing to treat her well.

Both parties were satisfied, and before leaving, they exchanged their horoscopes. As long as the horoscopes matched, the next step would be to ask the official media to formally propose marriage.
