Chapter 668: Distributing Invitations
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Yin Lelan coming back carrying tables and stools, Qin Yao and others who were busy dividing luggage in the hall asked questions.
When you feel wronged, you can't bear to be asked. It's okay if no one asks. But as soon as someone cares about you, your grievance will be doubled.
"It's the housekeeper of the Qi family next door." Yin Le put the table and chairs into the utility room on the east side and waved his hands to the people who cared about him. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just a hot face against a cold butt."
In the past half month, she and Awang often came over with Qin Yao to clean up the new house. The neighbors probably knew what was going on.
The Qiu family often climbs the wall to take a peek. They are gossipy and curious, but it is harmless.
The Qi family has basically never been seen. We only occasionally saw their master's carriage going to court, and took a quick look at it once or twice.
The first time, Yin Le was supervising the bricklayers hired to build two flower beds and plant flowers at the door. The two bricklayers spoke a little too loudly, and a man came out of the side door of Qi's house and scolded them.
But after all, it was the bricklayer who spoke loudly first, and Yin Le was in a hurry to apologize.
The second time, the master of the Qi family returned home from the next day. The bricks and tiles at home were placed at the gate and blocked the way before they could be moved into the courtyard. The person in charge came over again to show off his authority.
At that time, Qin Yao and A Wang went out to select ingredients, and Yin Le was alone at home. Fortunately, she had the strength to clear the way.
The Qiu family's daughter-in-law saw that she was sweating profusely and gave her a bowl of mung bean soup.
In fact, the bricks and tiles only extended less than half a meter from the gate, and carriages could still pass through the rest of the road.
Yin Le is not stupid. It can be seen that the Qi family is deliberately targeting them.
But their family has just arrived, and there is no chance to offend the Qi family.
Yin Le was puzzled. How did they make the Qi family unhappy?
When Qin Yao heard what Yin Le said about this for the first time, her face darkened, "Why didn't you tell me then?"
Awang also looked over with resentment. His wife asked them to keep a low profile, but she didn't say she wanted them to be angry with irrelevant people.
Yin Le's nose felt sore at the sight of the two of them, and she quickly took two breaths to suppress her excitement.
“Actually, it's my fault. I didn't do things neatly, and people caught me by the tail first.”
Liu Ji didn't like hearing this anymore. He put down the desk he was organizing, stuck his head out of the window and shouted:
“What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't the Qiu family next door say that we were arguing or that we were occupying the road? Didn't the other family say anything? Just the Qi family?”
He didn't need anyone to answer. He took care of himself and continued confidently:
“It's because their family has a lot of shit!”
“Madam, I think we should not invite the whole family to our housewarming party. People think our temple is too small, so we have to feel wronged. Don't you think so?”
The whole family at least has a table of food. Without this table of food, it can save a lot of money. Isn't it good for my own family to eat?
He didn't want this kind of person to take advantage of half of his penny.
Liu Ji turned his head towards the east wall, "Bah! What an unlucky thing!"
This voice was quite loud. Yin Le was startled and hurriedly gestured with his fingers to "shush", "Master, please lower your voice. What will happen if they hear it?"
“That's the supervisory censor”
Before Yin Le could finish her reminder, Liu Ji pointed at her and said, "Shut up! Don't increase others' prestige and destroy your own ambition."
"What's wrong with the censor? The censor can bully an innocent little girl like you?"
The big man, Erlang, Sanlang and Si Niang, who were caught by their father to clean up the study room, nodded in agreement, "That's right."
No one can bully them, Senior Sister Yin. "Don't invite them, let them greedy!" Sanlang put his hands on his hips and hummed.
Aniang said she wanted Uncle Awang to make lots of cakes to entertain the neighbors. She also told him that making cakes was tiring and even Uncle Awang couldn't make too many, so he should eat less.
Now that one less family is here, he can eat more. Saburo took a sip of saliva and was so happy.
Yin Le looked at the five masters, father and son in the room. She was pretending not to be moved, but her reason told her that this was not good.
"Master." Yin Le could only look at Qin Yao, "We are new here after all, so..."
Qin Yao raised her hand to interrupt and looked up at the high east wall, "If you hear it, you will hear it. What are you afraid of!"
Stepping up to the door of the study, he said to the proud Liu Ji: "Have you written all the invitations I want you to write?"
Of course!
Liu Ji immediately went to find his bookcase, took out a stack of invitations he had written, and prepared a fresh fruit basket, which he handed to Yin Le.
"Go to Mrs. Qiu next door, ask the names of the families around you, fill out the invitations and send them out."
He specifically said: "Those from the Qi family should still write, whether they like it or not."
Volting with words is venting, and you should not leave behind what you should do, so as not to give others any clues.
Qin Yao is indeed not afraid of things, but she also hopes that one thing more will be better than one thing less.
“When the time comes, let Awang deliver the stickers to the Qi family, so you don't have to go.”
He then told Awang, "You should go out too. There is nothing to clean up at home. You can personally deliver the notes from the Ding family."
Yin Le and Awang nodded and took orders to go out.
Liu Ji was not yet angry, so he muttered in a low voice: "If I didn't, I wouldn't send stickers to the Qi family."
There is really nothing to pack at home. The big things have been taken care of before. Now we just need to pack the luggage that was moved from Qin Feng's place.
A Wang ordered the dishes in the morning, and now his son's vegetable farmer brought the dishes. Qin Yao paid money to have the dishes delivered to the kitchen.
She made the kitchen at home into a large room, with one side being the kitchen and the other baking. In the future, she would have a dedicated place for making snacks, tea, etc., which was clean and convenient.
The vegetable farmer put down the vegetables and left through the small door next to the kitchen. Qin Yao saw off the person and closed the door. She looked at the neatly arranged three-thirds of the vegetable field, which was divided into pieces and crisscrossed. Thinking of how lush it would be after March, she felt Beautiful.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, so we have to rush to work together, but Qin Yao still insists on celebrating the festival.
Liu Ji left the task of removing the five poisons to the four children, and ran to the backyard to find Qin Yao with the account book.
There was no one in the kitchen or on the vegetable field. I searched around and caught the person in the newly built bathroom.
“Have the windows been cleaned?” Qin Yao asked.
Liu Ji hummed twice randomly and said he had something to do with her.
Qin Yao pointed outside and asked him to wait.
The newly built shower room is much more spacious and brighter than the one at home. If you have money, you can use the materials. The entire floor is covered with carved bluestone slabs, which are non-slip and beautiful.
The four walls are built with blue bricks, and there are many wooden shelves on them for storage.
Drainage ditches are built on the ground, and the water is drained directly into the ditch at home, out of the yard, and finally into the street well.
The bathing method is still the same as before, bring hot water and take a shower.
Qin Yao wanted to get a set of showerheads, but when she asked the blacksmith shop, it would take a long time to make such a set out of copper and the cost would be quite high, so she gave up.
