Chapter 106 The Sister-in-Law Becomes an Elderly Leftover Woman

Aunt Wang met Du Lanfeng and Mei Luotao in Jingzhou. At that time, there were many refugees. She heard that someone was selling rice and water, so she planned to change it. When she met her son in the queue, she immediately took the two of them aside to ask questions. By the time he realized it, the rice seller had disappeared.

Fortunately, Merlotao also carried a small bag of dried meat and sweet potatoes with her. The three of them hanged themselves with these things, and found some grass roots and bark to mix with them, so they didn't starve to death.

Aunt Wang was not optimistic about Meiluo Tao at first, and always felt that her son should find an official lady, but the world is difficult, and now she still eats other people's food, so she has to turn a blind eye.

"Let's go to your uncle first to see if he can take us in."

After entering the city, Aunt Wang immediately called her son to stop and told her her plan.

Du Lanfeng's father passed away early, and his uncle was left as a county magistrate in a certain county in the capital. They came here this time to join him.

"it is good."

Du Lanfeng nodded, and said to Mei Luotao beside him: "Tao'er, let's go to Uncle first, and then slowly find Uncle Mei and the others."

Mei Luotao has no objection, it's better to have acquaintances, it's better than wandering around alone.

……

Let's talk about Melomei and the others. After talking, Melo and the others went to prepare lunch by themselves. After eating, a group of people started to work.

Many people are powerful, but in a short time, most of the grass was pulled out.

Only in the middle of the night did everyone rest.

At dawn, Mrs. Li got up to cook, and Mei Qiying, Mei Luoxing and eight dogs and nine dogs helped.

Eight dogs and nine dogs are the two girls among the beggars.

Eight dogs are ten years old, nine dogs are nine years old.

Others are weeding.

When carpenter Zhang came, they had already hoeed a large area.

"This is Mei Qiliang's house, right?"

Carpenter Zhang led a large group of men and women, including masons, who built walls, mixed soil, and dug foundations. As long as they were needed for building a house, he called them over.

Originally, their team was not that big, but because of Melomei's blueprint, everyone felt that it was very promising, so craftsmen around them all followed.

Among them were a few women, who came to cook for others.

When Mei Er saw the person coming, he immediately went up to meet him, "Yes, I am. Excuse me, are you Carpenter Zhang?"

Melome had already told him yesterday that someone would come to help repair the house today.

Carpenter Zhang nodded, and said: "Yesterday, the owner told us to build it as soon as possible, so I brought more than 100 people here, including the fire bowls and mats for dinner."

Mei Laoer took a look. There were indeed many people behind him, but if there were more than 100 people, I am afraid there were not.

Seeing the doubts of the owner, Carpenter Zhang explained: "Other people have transported the materials, and it may take a while to arrive. Except for the windows, we will cover all other materials for your house."

This matter was discussed yesterday, so he only mentioned it.

Melo Mei didn't say much about packing materials when she came back, Mei Lao Er was stunned for a moment, thinking that she would have to ask her daughter carefully when she came back.

"Where do you think we have settled recently?" Carpenter Zhang couldn't help reminding Mei's second child when he was distracted.

Now the weather is hot and it is not raining, so they brought mats and planned to spend the night here.

Mei Laoer came back to his senses, and immediately led Carpenter Zhang and his group to the place where they built the shed, "You can choose a place to live around here."

Carpenter Zhang nodded, calling for everyone to settle down.

A group of people quickly built a shed on the open space next to it. The shed had six pillars, and only one roof was built to block the sun. The other four sides were all empty, and nothing was needed.

This kind of shed is relatively cool, easy to build, and saves time and effort.

Melomei didn't come back until a group of people built the shed. She went to the mountain this morning to see what kind of bushes those bushes were.

This trip really made her discover good things, and she only waited for the house to be built before processing them.

"Meimei, Carpenter Zhang is here and said that we will pack the materials for the house." Seeing his daughter, Mei's second child immediately went up to ask her.

Melomei nodded and said: "Yes, I forgot to tell you yesterday that they helped build our house for free, and it won't cost money, so don't worry, Dad."

"Free?" Mei's second son was surprised, "We have no relatives or reasons with them, why is it free?"

Even the money for materials costs a lot of money.

"Brother Huan gave me a blueprint. Carpenter Zhang liked it very much, so he agreed to help us build a house for free."

"My lord... how can you give me the prince's blueprint at will." Mei Er Er blamed, and then worried: "Will this cause the prince's dissatisfaction?"

"Don't worry, Dad, brother Huan always loves me, how can you blame me, you just wait to live in a new house."

Melomei giggled and tugged at her father's arm.

"Boss, where is your house going to be built?"

Mei Luomei was talking to Mei's second child when Carpenter Zhang came over, followed by a man with a compass.

Melo May heard the words: "I want to build it over there."

Stretching her finger to the distance, there was a stream over there, and she wanted to get closer to the stream.

Although there is no water in the creek now, it is impossible to be without water for a lifetime.

The distance is short, and it is convenient to dig a pond in the future.

Carpenter Zhang said, "Take us to have a look."

Mei's second child took them to see the foundation, and Melomei followed.

Several people came to the place where the house was to be built, and the man holding the compass stared at the compass, walking around the site and muttering words.

The expression is serious and serious.

Melomei was curious and couldn't help asking, "What is he doing?"

Carpenter Zhang, "Before building a house, it is best to ask someone to look at the terrain, otherwise, if it is not suitable for living, the house may not be peaceful to repair."

And this statement?

Mei Luomei looked at Mei's second child, seeing him nodding, knowing that such a thing might have happened in ancient times, she ignored it.

The man looked at it for a while, put away the compass, walked over and said: "This place is a treasured place of geomantic omen, it is very suitable for building a house."

Carpenter Zhang said to Mei Laoer: "Since this is the case, then we are about to start construction. Do you think there is anything else to explain?"

Mei Laoer shook his head. He didn't know much about building a house, and he had never built it himself. This was the first time a young girl was building a new house in a sedan chair, so she couldn't come up with any ideas at all.

"In addition to following the design on the drawings, our house has to build a row of servants' rooms in front of the main house, build more barns, and build more toilets. There are separate toilets for men and women. The yard should be as large as possible, so that it will be easy to plant. Fruit trees dig ponds to grow lotus."

The design on the blueprint is a two-story building with modern decoration, the outer wall looks like an ancient one, and there is no outer courtyard and servant's room, so Melomei asked them to add it.

"Yes, but it will take a few more days."

Carpenter Zhang nodded. There were a lot of them, and they were used to doing this, so it didn't take much trouble.

After discussing the details, Carpenter Zhang led a group of people to pull weeds and dig the foundation, working in full swing.

Seeing that she had nothing to do with her, Melomei decided to go to the city to try her luck, to see if she could get news from her elder sister and younger uncle.

"Father, I'm going to the capital to have a look. I might not come back at night. You should keep an eye on the family affairs."

Mei Laoer was puzzled: "What are you going to do in the capital? Now is a busy time."

"I'll go and see if there is any news about the elder sister and the others, and by the way, see if there is any money-making business." Melomei told her plan.

I originally planned to inquire about the eldest sister after the house was built, but now the house has been repaired for free, so I can spare time to find someone in advance.

Speaking of Mei Luotao, Mei Lao Er was also very worried, sighed, and said: "Then go and say hello to your mother before you go."

"it is good."

You should say hello to your family when you go out. Otherwise, your family members will not know where you go. Isn’t this cause for concern for no reason?
Melomei ran to say hello to Mrs. Li, turned around and was about to leave, but she stopped her.

"Meimei, when you go to find your eldest sister, I will also pay attention to your sister-in-law. She is nineteen years old."

19 years old, considered an old girl in ancient times.

"Mother, my sister is still young, let's see each other when our living conditions are better."

At 19, she was not yet of marriageable age.

Mrs. Li frowned, "Why are you still young? No matter how old you are, it may be difficult to find a husband's family. If you delay your sister-in-law, can you be responsible?"

Well, she really can't bear this responsibility.

Melome: "I'll go and see what my sister thinks first."

You can't mess up the mandarin ducks!

Soon I found Mei Qiying who was chopping vegetables in the grass shed.

"Sister-in-law, come here, I have something to tell you." Seeing that there were many people around, Melomei had no choice but to say so.

Hearing this, Mei Qiying put down the kitchen knife, washed the vegetable foam off her hands in a basin on the side, and walked out of the shed.

"Is there something wrong with Meme?"

"Sister-in-law, you go there with me first."

Melomei pointed to an uninhabited area, and pulled Mei Qiying to the side.

Seeing that there was no one around, he said: "Sister, my mother said that you are not young, you should see him, what do you think?"

In ancient times, there were many people who got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. If it wasn't for fleeing famine, she suspected that her aunt might have married earlier, but now there is no one who is engaged.

Li Shi's reminder just now reminded her of such a situation. To her, she is young, but to the world, she is already an old leftover woman.

Mei Qiying's face was flushed, and she didn't want to discuss this topic at first, but seeing her little niece's serious appearance, she still calmed down.

"I don't ask too much, as long as I'm a good person."

Father and mother have left, and it is not easy for her to mention these things with her elder brother and sister-in-law. Now that the little niece asked about it, she still couldn't help but express her thoughts.

Melomei frowned, "Sister-in-law, you don't have high demands, you don't have any demands at all."

You only need to be a good person, and it feels like just pulling someone from the crowd may also meet the conditions.

"I... I dare not ask extravagantly."

Melomei: "Oh, sister, although our family is not rich and powerful, it is not a poor family either. You can imagine boldly."

Mei Qiying: "I can't imagine it. Since ancient times, it has been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. There is no room for my own imagination."

She worried that the more she thought about it, the greater her disappointment would be.

"Why is there no room for imagination?" Melomei was surprised. "Sister-in-law, you still have a chance now, and we didn't force you. I advise you to think about it."
