Chapter 668 Sending 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 confused questions.
When you feel wronged, you can't bear to be asked. It's okay if no one asks. But once 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, and the neighbors probably knew what was going on.
The Qiu family often climbs the wall to take a peek. They are gossipy and curious characters, but it is harmless.
The Qi family has basically never been seen. They 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 masons hired to build two flower beds and plant flowers at the door. The two masons spoke a little 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, so Yin Le had to apologize.
The second time, the master of the Qi family came back from the imperial court. 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 Awang went out to select ingredients, and Yin Le was the only one 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, those bricks and tiles only extended less than half a meter from the gate, and carriages could still pass through the rest of the avenue.
Yin Le is not stupid, he can see that the Qi family is deliberately targeting them.
But their family had just arrived, so there was no chance of offending the Qi family.
Yin Le was puzzled. How did they make the Qi family unhappy?
Qin Yao's face darkened when she heard Yin Le say this for the first time, "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 you look for the reason yourself? Why didn't the Qiu family next to us say that we were arguing or that we were occupying the road? The family across the door didn't say anything either? Just the Qi family?"
He didn't need anyone to answer, so he 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. The Buddha thinks our temple is small, so we have to feel wronged, don't you think?"
Qi's family at least has a table to eat. Without this table, they can save a lot of money. Isn't it good for their own food?
He didn't want this kind of person to take advantage of half of his money.
Liu Ji turned his head toward the east wall, "Bah! What an unlucky thing!"
The voice was quite loud. Yin Le was startled and hurriedly gestured with his fingers to "shush", "Master, please keep your voice down. 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?"
In the house, Erlang, Sanlang and Si Niang, who had been caught by their father to clean up the study room, nodded in agreement, "That's right."
No one can bully their senior sister Yin.
"Don't invite them, let them go hungry!" Saburo put his hands on his hips and hummed.
Grandma 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 there is one less family, 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, and it was false to be unmoved, 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!"
He walked up to the door of the study and said to the proud Liu Ji, "Have you finished writing the invitations I want you to write?"
Of course!
Liu Ji immediately went to find his book box, took out a stack of written invitations, 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."
Specifically, he said: "It's better to write about the Qi family, whether they love it or not."
Venting with words is venting, and you should not leave behind what you should do, so as not to leave any excuses for others.
Qin Yao is indeed not afraid of trouble, 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."
Then he asked 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 and went out.
Liu Ji wasn't angry yet, 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 it is time to pack the luggage that was moved from Qin Feng's place.
Awang ordered vegetables in the morning. Now his son, the vegetable farmer, has delivered the vegetables. Qin Yao paid the money and asked someone to help deliver the vegetables to the kitchen.
She made the kitchen at home into a large open space, with one side for the kitchen and the other for baking. In the future, there will be a special place for making snacks, tea, etc., which is clean and convenient.
The vegetable farmer put down the vegetables and left through the small door next to the kitchen. Qin Yao saw him off and closed the door. Looking at the three-tenths of vegetable field that was neatly arranged in pieces, crisscrossed and neat, she felt happy when she thought of the lush greenery here in March.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Things are crowded together, but Qin Yao still insists on celebrating the festival.
Liu Ji left the work of removing the five poisons to the four children, and ran to the backyard with the account book to find Qin Yao.
There was no one in the kitchen and the vegetable field. After searching around, he caught the person in the newly built bathroom.
"Have you cleaned all the windows?" 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 old one. With money in hand, I am willing to spend money on materials. The floor is all paved with carved bluestone slabs, which are non-slip and beautiful.
The four walls are built with blue bricks, and there are many wooden frames on them for storage.
There are drainage ditches on the ground, and the water is directly discharged into the ditch at home, flows out of the yard, and finally flows into the street sewer.
The bathing method is still the same as before, bringing hot water to take a shower.
Qin Yao wanted to make a shower, but when she asked the blacksmith shop, she found that it would take a long time to make such a set with copper materials, and the cost was not small, so she gave up.
