The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 258

Song Guanzhou covered his face and said, "It's really not a big deal. If you lend me a plane, saw and chisel, I can make you a small stool." She grew up with her grandfather, who was an old-fashioned carpenter. He built a carpentry workshop in a rural mud house. She followed him and learned from him. After a long time, she also clamored to help him plane wood flowers.

The old grandfather had no one to inherit his craft, and looking at his five or six-year-old granddaughter, he thought, forget it, something is better than nothing.

She personally selected a small saw and a hatchet and chisel, and Song Guanzhou played around with them. In the end, she used up all her abilities as a seven or eight-year-old and could only plane wood and dig mortise and tenon joints. She could barely make a four-legged stool or chair. As for more difficult cabinets and boxes, she was too enthusiastic to learn at all.

I do know a few kinds of wood carving, such as flowers, birds, insects and herbs, which are common patterns for altars in rural areas, but I don't know anything else.

correct!

Song Guanzhou was very proud. She could also boil earthen lacquer. Although she was allergic and her whole body was itchy, she could still boil out clear earthen lacquer.

The craftsmen were interested and obeyed orders. They got their tools early and set up the ladder with Liu Er, and started hammering and banging. Even the chief steward Pei Hai was startled. He came over to take a look and could not help but smack his lips.

This young lady didn't care about anything when it came to touching her own courtyard wall.

After a few euphemistic remarks, Song Guanzhou looked innocent.

"As long as it's ventilated, I don't believe in anything else."

Pei Hai: ...It's the main house after all. Having a hole in it would leak out the good feng shui, which is not good.

But seeing that Song Guanzhou didn't take it seriously and called the maids and servants to move the books and organize them, he sighed a little and said no more.

The craftsman chiseled two symmetrical square holes, determined the style of the wooden windows with Song Guanzhou, and sourced the Manchurian ash wood himself, promising to have it completed and delivered for installation within three to five days.

Liu Er was worried that rain would come in, so he wanted to block it. Song Guanzhou looked at the eaves of the house behind and found that it was about two feet wide. The newly dug hole was located at a higher position, so it would definitely not be a problem.

"I'll come and install it in two days. I think this place is tricky and there are snakes, rats, insects and ants. It won't be able to get in for a while, so don't worry about it."

The master and his servants divided the work and resumed the sorting work that had been interrupted for a long time.

Hearing Qingfang say that Xu Lingbai and Qin Er were both sobering up outside, they were not in a hurry. With the help of the slanting sunlight, they cleaned up a dozen more books.

"Forget it, let's stop here today."

Several people stood up and began to pack up the registration books, pens, ink, paper, inkstone, dough, sauce, paper and glue, and then said goodbye to Song Guanzhou one by one.

Outside, Honeysuckle had prepared some exquisite snacks. Every maid and the steward stuffed a packet into their mouths, and everyone thanked them before leaving.

Song Guanzhou, wearing a thorny hairpin and a cloth skirt without any makeup, came out of the warehouse and breathed a sigh of relief facing the sunset. Qin Er tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, "Where did this country girl come from? How come you are in our Lord Pei's room? Aren't you afraid that the Fourth Young Master's wife will chase you out?"

Song Guanzhou ignored her and took the towel handed to him by Rendong. He dusted it off and sniffed his rolled-up sleeves. He frowned and said, "This musty smell is too strong. It's a pity that it has been raining a lot recently. I'm afraid it won't be possible to dry the books."

Honeysuckle helped her clean the dust from her braided hair and said softly, "I'm afraid we should register it first, and then talk about drying the books. A few days ago, Miss Sun asked someone to send some fragrant pills in. I did ask her to make some insect repellent and odor-removing pills tomorrow, and sprinkle some on the bookshelf after they are put on the shelf."

"Well, you always do things properly."

After cleaning up and sweeping the dust, and taking off his apron, Song Guanzhou went to the rose trellis and greeted the two of them. "What day is it that you have an appointment to have a drink?"

Xu Lingbai was a little shy and kept his head down without saying a word.

Qin Qingdong was never afraid of these things. He pointed at the two jars of wine on the high table and said, "The osmanthus wine that the Chang family brewed this year is not very astringent. If you are not used to it, add some honey to the honeysuckle and it will definitely be more palatable."

Song Guanzhou picked up the jar and tried to open it for a long time but still couldn't. Xu Lingbai offered a helping hand, which made Song Guanzhou smile widely.

This smile sparkled Xu Lingbai's eyes.

They look almost exactly like my sister.

Fortunately, he quickly lowered his head and suppressed his worry and longing for his sister. Song Guanzhou did not notice it. He held the wine jar in both hands and put it under his nose to take a deep sniff.

"Hey, don't get drunk."

Qin Er tried to stop him, but Song Guanzhou felt that the wine was much softer and, compared to modern burnt liquor, this osmanthus wine smelled sweet.

When Xiao Du and Pei An stepped into the house, they immediately saw a beautiful woman in a cloth skirt standing under the flower stand. She held a jar of wine in both hands, tilted her head back and started drinking.

"Watching the boat..."

Pei An walked in quickly, and Song Guanzhou just took a big gulp of osmanthus wine. The wine was mellow and sweet, a little lighter than modern small drinks.

But this regret was made up by the smell of wine. Song Guanzhou was like a little squirrel stealing food, with his cheeks puffed up, his eyes rolling around, and he turned his head to look at Pei An and Xiao Du.

Without waiting for the people present to exclaim, she swallowed it all with a gulp.

Finally, he smacked his lips and said to Qin Qingdong and Xu Lingbai, "No wonder you two are drunk. This is such a good wine. I want to have some too."

After saying that, he called Honeysuckle.

"Go to the kitchen and get some more appetizers. Brother Du, please stay and have a few drinks."

Xiao Du: ...Let me talk about serious matters, sister-in-law!

Seeing his hesitation, Pei An thought that he was not used to eating with Song Guanzhou and a woman, so he asked two maids to invite the wife of Brother Du.

Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "Since we call her the eldest cousin's wife, how can we forget the fourth cousin's wife? Besides, the eldest and second cousin's wives cannot be missing either."

Perhaps thinking of something happy, she said to Pei An coquettishly, "Brother Qin and his young men, I haven't seen them for a long time, why not call them all over together."

...If they keep shouting like this, I'm afraid everyone in the city will come.

Song Guanzhou was in high spirits and was dissatisfied that Qin's two jars of wine were not enough, so he called Qingfei to leave.

Pei An hurriedly stopped him, "Where are you going?"

"I went to my father's place and he promised me a few jars of good wine a long time ago. He has been talking about it for a long time, and now it's time to ask for it."

Xiao Du hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry, cousin. I'll go back and bring you two jars. Jiangzhou apricot blossom wine has always been famous. Why don't you try it, cousin?"

They brought with them a wide variety of tea, rice, oil, salt, and fine wine.

Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "Brother Du, I'm not in a hurry to drink yours today. My father promised me a long time ago. I'll go get some first. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it's better for Brother Du to spend the money and prepare a small banquet. By then, I'm afraid Brother Du's apricot blossom wine will not be enough for me to drink."

Xiao Du laughed heartily, "Well, don't worry, sister-in-law. You can have a taste tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If it tastes good, your brother and sister-in-law will prepare your apricot blossom wine for you next year."

Song Guanzhou smiled broadly, "Brother, I will remember what you said."

After saying this, she went to Zhengxian Pavilion with a smile on her face.
