    Yang Yi has been coming to Jianjiazhuang frequently recently.

    Jianjiazhuang has her property.  He and Jian Youzhi are equally divided 50-50. After all, he is also an important member of the board of directors. Jian Youzhi has nothing to say.

    It¡¯s not that it¡¯s not good to say anything, it¡¯s that it¡¯s not good to say anything!

    It¡¯s just that this widow didn¡¯t come to the workshop, eat and live with the workers, and act like a person close to the people.  As soon as he arrived at Jianjiazhuang, he got into Jian Youzhi's house and hung out with several women.

    Although the three women all maintained a high degree of vigilance, a minimum of etiquette was required, not to mention that they were recommended by Yang Yi and became a ninth-grade official.  Su Yuting was still a little grateful.

    Yang Yi is a good talker. He specially picked out some makeup and rouge for women, and also talked about some etiquette and interesting things about welcoming and sending off noble ladies in the officialdom.

    This suited Su Yuting's taste. After all, she was now a member of an official family, and she planned in her heart that she would have such entertainment in the future, so she listened with great interest.

    When parting, Su Yuting personally walked to the door and waved goodbye with a smile.

    It looked like Jian had seen a ghost!

    "Are you familiar with the widow? If you want to be courteous, don't be so conspicuous. You don't want to be a shooter, just work quietly!"

    Su Yuting glanced at Jian Youzhi who appeared at the entrance of the village in surprise. In front of outsiders, she bowed respectfully and showed a sweet smile.

    "It turns out that the officials are here too. Don't look any further. They are all gone and you can't even see their backs!"

    Jian Youzhi looked at Su Yuting and shook his head.

    "This is not normal, very abnormal! Have you been bewitched by her recently? I forgot to tell you, their whole family has become goblins, don't get infected, you will become goblins yourself!"

    "What did the official say? I have already made an appointment with her to visit Fuyin's wife tomorrow and help me think about what gifts to prepare?"

    "What are you doing to visit Mrs. Fu Yin?"

    "Official, you are now a ninth-grade official after all. There will be more social events in the future. Madam Yang said, it is a good thing to get to know them earlier, so as not to lose etiquette in the future!"

    "Did she trick you?"

    She is indeed a vixen, and now she is killing both men and women. Su Yuting was so bewitched that she began to talk about her benefits without any principles.

    "What are you talking about? I brought it up!"

    ¡°Then go!¡±

    It is useless for men to interfere with this kind of thing. Women will express their sense of existence and accomplishment in their own way.

    When walking back, Su Yuting suddenly came over in a sneaky way, leaned into Jian Youzhi's ear, whispered a few words, and then started to giggle.

    "Really?"

    Su Yuting nodded with a red face.

    "Didn't the official say that he would give her some as a gift when it was ready?"

    Jian Youzhi was immediately interested. Toilet paper and sanitary napkins were epoch-making products, surpassing the understanding of women in this era.

    "Then what did she say?"

    Jian Youzhi still hopes that the widow can give her a very fair evaluation. After all, this is the welfare of all women in the Song Dynasty. If it can be generalized, of course it will be better, but the difficulty is also unknown. It is worse than promoting cotton.  Much harder.

    As soon as Su Yuting heard Jian Youzhi ask this question, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

    "There are two sentences. Do you want to hear the good or the bad?"

    "If you disobey me, go home and wait for a spanking!" Jian Youzhi wanted to show off his power as the master of the house and glared at Su Yuting.

    Su Yuting was smiling, not serious at all.

    "I told you first that you have exquisite thoughts."

    These words are pertinent and hit the mark. Jian Youzhi nodded with satisfaction: "What are the bad words?"

    "Simple scum!"

    Jian Youzhi¡¯s face suddenly turned dark. He did things for female comrades, but in the end even female comrades couldn¡¯t understand him. This was indeed a failure.

    "go home!"

    Jian Youzhi concluded the conversation with one sentence very concisely, and Jian Youzhi walked quickly forward emotionally.

    "My lord, please wait a moment, there is something else you need to do!"

    "What?"

    Jian Youzhi stopped and looked at Su Yuting dissatisfied.

    "I accidentally agreed to her!" Su Yuting looked like a frustrated little daughter-in-law, coyly, "She left the official free and went to help her make a toilet at home."

    ??When she went to a widow¡¯s house to make a toilet, this woman could really rest assured about her safety??people.

    Jian Youzhi didn¡¯t say yes or no to this matter. Anyway, it was put off like this, and it was hard for the widow to rush her anyway.  The widow came to visit as usual, to the point where she even ignored the NPC guarding the door.

    The weather is gradually getting colder, and the strong wind blows endlessly. Jian Youzhi improved the kang model to make it easier to keep warm. However, he has not found coal yet, which makes Jian Youzhi a little confused.  Henan is a major coal-producing province, which is known to future generations. Pingdingshan, Yuzhou and other places are rich in coal mines.  We have to find a way to find some. With coal, we can make many good things!

    After the north wind blew all night, early the next morning, while Jian Youzhi was still wrapped in a quilt and covering his head, he heard the roar of Shaolin lions filling the courtyard of Sanhuan.

    "It's snowing, it's snowing!"

    "My lord, get up!" Su Yuting sat on the edge of the bed and got dressed. The girls all got up early, but we adults stayed in bed and weren't afraid of people laughing at us!  "

    "Whoever dares to laugh at me, I'll spank her!"

    Jian Youzhi was wrapped in quilt and refused to leave the bed. Only his head was exposed, and he said harsh words with a fierce look in his eyes.  Whoever asks me to get up in this cold weather is my enemy!

    "It was my father-in-law and aunt who sent someone to call me. Erya is still waiting outside the door!"

    Su Yuting knew that he was lazy and soft-spoken, which made it difficult for Jian Youzhi to ignore him anymore.  After getting up mumblingly, Erya, who was wearing a short coat, brought hot water to wash up. Listening to Jian Youzhi getting angry, she couldn't help but burst into laughter!

    "Bah!"

    After being spanked twice, Erya giggled while holding the basin and flew out very briskly.

    "Try the newly made cotton robe!" Su Yuting took out a cotton robe from the cabinet. It was made of cotton that Jian Youzhi put out of white folds and the first batch of finished fabrics.  It's soft, light, and very warm. It's more practical than those leather jackets. But I haven't had time to dye it yet, so the color is a little ugly!

    The cotton cloth is woven in Jian Youzhi's workshop, but the style and ready-made clothes are made by Su Yuting herself. They fit very close to the body, do not look bulky, and appear comfortable and decent.  Naturally, I also made a few for my parents-in-law.

    The girls and boys in the Jian family¡¯s yard have also put on cotton-padded jackets. These were made by themselves or by tailors hired under the guidance of Su Yuting.

    " Erya and Sanhuan were made by themselves. Erya's craftsmanship was obviously better than that of Sanhuan. She wore a short coat that looked smart and fit. It was also embroidered with several large flowers with red thread, which made it even more fashionable.

    "I can't do three-ring embroidery. I was jealous for a long time because of this."

    After washing up, I went to the side hall of the front yard. My father and mother were surrounding the fire pit, and Old Man Wu was sitting next to them.

    Salute, sit down, and listen to the hadith!

    "The winter solstice will be here in two days. Let's discuss it at home and see what we need to buy. Father Wu is here today. We agreed and went to do it. The situation is good this year, so it would be better to be more lively and grand. I forget it.  At a glance, apart from the sacrifices to ancestors, the usual new clothes, food, and rewards from farmers and servants, the total amount is more than 3,000 guan."

    Dad is indeed a man of great courage. When the year is good, he will do something big!  Three thousand dollars can buy a luxury version of a "Lamborghini" that is even better than Han Wuyan's "Ferrari".

    "It's just that this winter solstice is so laborious and costly.  Jian Youzhi looked at his parents in confusion and said, "This winter solstice is not a major celebration. Does it need three thousand strings?"

    Su Yuting suddenly looked ashamed.

    ¡°My parents seemed to look at Jian Youzhi with expressions of confusion, and even Old Man Wu was in a daze.

    "According to previous years it has to be done grandly. This is the case in every household. In previous years, the small village owner thought that the old village owner was frugal and the money given was not enough!"

    Old man Wu told the truth and seemed to be loyal.

    Jian Youzhi suddenly looked embarrassed and glanced at Su Yuting quietly.

    "Officials, please don't speak unprofessional language. Every family is so solemn and lively about the cold food during the winter solstice. Why don't the officials pay attention to it this year?" Su Yuting lowered her voice.

    Jian Youzhi stopped talking. There were still some differences between the festivals of the ancients and now.  I still don¡¯t want to join in blindly.  Now look at your nose with your eyes, and your nose with your heart!

    " These matters have been arranged by Jian Jinyin in the past years. There is no need to listen to Jian Youzhi's opinion at all, because Jian Youzhi at that time was too unsatisfactory, so he just didn't add chaos.

    Things are different now. Since Jian Youzhi turned back, reined in his horse from the brink, washed his hands in a golden basin, and achieved great enlightenment, he has made Jianjiazhuang prosperous and prosperous. His status has become increasingly important, and he has won the love of all the employees of Jianjiazhuang. He is even a little rebellious.  The banker wanted to hold a general election and elected Jian YouzhiAssuming the position of village owner, the old village owner can live in peace and quiet in his old age, living in seclusion in the barren mountains without caring about worldly affairs.

    "So, so, so, so, what do you think, young village owner?" Old man Wu asked Jian Youzhi.  This guy is wrapping up his clothes and taking a nap by the stove!

    It¡¯s so embarrassing!

    Su Yuting hurriedly answered: "My father-in-law and aunt will make arrangements. Naturally, my husband and I will follow suit. Please also take care of Father Wu. The expenses will never be less. Just spend as much as possible. Don't be weak."  The momentum of the official family has been reduced!"

    The last sentence is the key point!

    Jian Jinyin nodded quickly. This daughter-in-law is mature and rare. She immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, now that my son has a family and is an official of the ninth rank, thatshould the previous budget be re-verified? That's right."  The more you add, the more you add¡­¡±

    Prodigal parents, prodigal daughter-in-law!

    After the family meeting, Su Yuting called Sanhuan and Erya over.

    "We usually make dumplings with my mother at my parents' house during the holidays. Now we make some too. What fillings do you like? I'll go get them for you."

    Su Yuting has the style of a big lady.

    ¡°I want pork and leeks!¡± Sanhuan responded first.

    "Green onions!"

    ¡°I will eat whatever you do!¡±

    Jian Youzhi smiled, it¡¯s good if you¡¯re not picky about food!

    "Don't laugh, you have a share too. You can roll out the dumpling wrappers later."

    "Puch!" Erya couldn't hold it back anymore.

    ¡°Don¡¯t laugh, you do the same, bring the rolling pin and Sanhuan to get the dough and stuffed meat and vegetables.¡±
