Chapter 224 Beauty has personality

Wang Taohua went out for a walk because she was full from food. Not only did she meet Mr. Lu, but she also met these women.

She looked at the women with disdain, raised her chin and walked sideways into the house.

The aunts in the neighborhood were not surprised. Beauty has such a personality.

An aunt smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "Your little girl is so pretty. Oh, you have to keep an eye on her and don't let those boys take notice of her."

This aunt's daughter is also good-looking, but compared to Wang Taohua, she is simply far behind.

It's just because their families are poor that they married early.

But Wang Taohua is good-looking, so she doesn't have to worry about getting married. As soon as she comes back, won't those boys praise her to heaven?

Their son is sixteen years old this year, but he still has no wife.

The boys in the aunt's words naturally refer to the young people in their village who have reached the age to marry but have not yet married.

That group of teenagers used to hang around the little girl of the Wang family all day long.

In the past two months, I have been following Master Lu, farming, cultivating and building city walls every day. I have been very busy.

After hearing the aunt's compliments, the Queen Mother said with a smile on her face: "Look at what you said, eldest sister-in-law, your eldest child is going to be successful.

All the little girls in the village have fallen in love with your boy. Sister-in-law, don’t worry, our Taohua has a sharp eye and no one can catch her eye."

The aunt curled her lips and said nothing more. She wanted to marry the daughter of the Wang family, but since the Wang family's sister-in-law said so.

There was definitely no chance, so she said a few perfunctory words and went back to cooking.

The others also left in twos and threes, gossiping together on the way: "Hey, why do you think we have so many choices about this peach blossom in our village?"

"If you have a good-looking family, you naturally want to choose the best young man." This aunt also fantasized about Peach Blossom being her daughter-in-law.

Lu Shaoqian and his wife had returned to their courtyard house, and he brought hot water.

"Yue'er, if you go into the bathtub and soak for a while, you won't be so tired."

"Thank you, husband. Actually, I'm not that tired." Lin Fuyue said this.

But she still took a hot bath in the big tub, even though it was a wooden tub.

In fact, it's similar to a bathtub. It's really comfortable to soak in. It's not necessary.

Lu Shaoqian took advantage of her bath time to bring a bowl of pork ribs and radish soup and rice.

Lin Fuyue ate alone and then slept comfortably. After all, a pregnant woman had been riding in a carriage for several days.

Lu Shaoqian was sitting in the yard eating with his father, mother, Lu Shaoyi and Xiao Yufan.

They all also washed up, but they were all very excited and not tired at all.

After the meal, Lu's father couldn't wait to take Lu's mother to bed. They had been separated for several days.

It is said that a breakup is better than a new marriage. Even though Mr. Lu’s son is older, he is only in his forties.

Lu Shaoyi took his nephew for a walk to eat before going to bed.

Lu Shaoqian also took a comfortable bath and fell asleep sweetly with his wife in his warm arms.

The next day.

Father Lu was in high spirits and taught his youngest son and grandson how to practice kung fu, and then everyone had breakfast together.

After the meal, Lin Fuyue would take the chefs to make biscuits. Mother Lu had eaten the biscuits made by Lin Fuyue.

It was more delicious than the pastries she had eaten in the palace before, so she happily went with her daughter-in-law to watch her making cookies.

The two little ones were even more willing to follow Lin Fuyue. In fact, Lu Shaoqian also wanted to follow.

However, when he saw Lu's father's disapproving look, he could only accompany his father to build the city wall.

The father and son were walking on the mountain path. Father Lu was surprised and praised him repeatedly, "Did you choose the place to build the house?"

"No, it was Yue'er who picked it. She said the land looks like a chair and is very suitable for building a house."

Then Lu Shaoqian told his father that their terrain

It is backed by Huangshan Signal Mountain.

It leans on cattle fields in the east and faces Huangshan Maofeng in the west. It is surrounded by mountains that advance and retreat.

So they happily stopped and led their young men to cut down trees to build houses, split mountains and open fields, and they wanted to live here from now on.

Recently, farmhouses have been built at the foot of the mountain, reorganizing the village.

Lu Shaoqian and his wife gave full play to their military wisdom and talents and relied on their geographical advantages.

The entire Shuangjiang County was built into a solid fortification system, so a city wall was built.

The village has seven vertical alleys and eight alleys, which can be entered but not exited. The five exits at the entrance of the village are cleverly designed.

Households, streets and alleys communicate with each other, and two strong passes were built on the left and right of the border city wall.

There is a strong trend of "one man can guard the pass, and no one can open it". There are also Xinyan Nao and Fortress Nao.

Whenever there was any disturbance, the guards on the fort would use flags as signals, beat drums at the same time, and attack from east to west.

There are four other blockhouses built on the surrounding hills for soldiers to stand guard.

The bunker is tall and solid, equipped with heavy artillery. Once the enemy attacks, the soldiers quickly enter the bunker according to the divided areas.

There is food and shelter in the bunker, as well as knives and guns, as well as homemade weapons such as spears and rolling stones to welcome the invading enemies.

Because of the architectural advantages, ordinary thieves or small groups of bandits don't need to take action at all.

There are several rectangular holes on the walls of every house for lighting relaxing oil lamps.

Usually, pine oil lamps are used for lighting. No matter it is windy or rainy, the oil will not run out and the lamp will not go out.

Whenever there is a Turkic attack or robber, someone will ring the New Year's gong in the ancestral hall.

As soon as the New Year's gong rang, every household quickly blew out the pine oil lamps on the wall, set up swords and guns, and fired hidden arrows.

The robbers penetrated dozens of ancient alleyways, as if they were trapped in a trance, unable to escape.

The villagers were just waiting to catch the turtle in the urn. There was a triangular pond at the entrance of the village with an area of ​​about eight cents of land.

At the same time, a seven-story rock and family temple were built at the entrance of the village, and a three-rock arch bridge was built across the stream.

If bandits attack during the day, the ancestral hall will sound the New Year gongs and trumpets, and the villagers will rush into the lanes to cut off the bandits' path.

Amidst the sound of trumpets and drums, the bandits panicked, crowded together, and fell from the bridge into the pond, waiting to be captured.

Lu Shaoqian also told Lu's father that they had been hoarding grain for a year in the mountains and were still growing grain.

From now on, there will be more and more cases every year, and we will stick to the pass without fighting. This pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

From then on, Shuangjiang Town was not afraid even if hundreds of thousands of troops invaded at the same time.

Father Lu couldn't come back to his senses after listening for a long time, "Qian'er, are there any drawings for what you mentioned?"

"It must be there. Yue and Haier studied and drew it together. We built the outer city wall first, and then built the inner structure of the village."

"How many years do you expect it to be completed?" Father Lu was excited.

"It is estimated that about two years will be enough, and the city wall will be completed by May next year."

Lu Shaoqian said with confidence.

Happy New Year to everyone. I wish you good health, smooth work, all the best, happiness for your whole family, and everyone earning 100 million in the new year. I love you.
