Chapter 569 The villain’s vicious ex-wife 16

The phoenix crown presented to the Queen Mother must be stunning enough, without any flaws or omissions, and the meaning must be good.

In order to ensure that everything was perfect, Wu Shuang spent a month just drawing the drawings.

During this period, the paintings were scrapped, and the paintings were scrapped. There were hundreds of scrapped manuscripts. When each pattern was scrapped, Mrs. Li felt a pain in her body just looking at it.

In the evening, Mrs. Li held a stack of Wushuang's discarded drawings in her hand, and sighed with her husband Feng Tongzhi: "It's such a pity that we are not satisfied with such beautiful patterns."

Isn't it a pity that Mrs. Li can't use such a good trick no matter how much she likes it? It's not fun to exceed the limit.

It should be said that some of the patterns painted by Wu Shuang cannot be worn by even the Queen Mother except the current Queen Mother, so they can only be discarded in vain.

Feng Tongzhi didn't feel it was a pity: "This shows that she strives for excellence, and the finished product she makes will definitely look better than these patterns."

After deciding on the pattern, Wushuang started leaving early and returning late to go to Tongzhifu to make the phoenix crown. This phoenix crown used too many precious gems, and Wushuang did not dare to take it home to make it.

Feng Tongzhi and Mrs. Li didn't dare to let Wushuang take the things home. It was more reassuring to do so in the heavily guarded Tongzhi Mansion.

The Queen Mother's birthday was in the winter, and Wushuang started making it in late spring. She worked on it almost every day, without doing anything, and finally completed it one month before the Queen Mother's birthday.

In the two months since the Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, both Mrs. Li and Feng Tongzhi were running around anxiously every day, with guns blazing at the corners of their mouths, fearing that Wushuang would not be able to make it in time.

You need to know that even if you work hard on the way from the north to the capital, it will take at least twenty days to deliver it when the weather is unpredictable in winter.

The two were anxious, but they didn't dare to rush, fearing that Wushuang would make a mistake if they rushed, so they could only endure it by themselves, waiting at the door every day to watch Wushuang busy.

Fortunately, Wushuang finished it in time with one month left. Feng Tongzhi and Mrs. Li both breathed a sigh of relief. They had plenty of time, and even if there were mistakes on the way, it would be fine if they delayed it for a few days.

After Fengguan was finished, Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and worked every day. If she hadn't developed some internal strength and used it to relieve discomfort every day, she would have developed cervical spondylosis long ago.

But the busyness was worth it. After the set of phoenix crowns was completed, Mrs. Li directly gave Wushuang fifty thousand taels of silver as a reward.

To be honest, the remuneration given by Mrs. Li belongs to those who have become famous filigree inlay masters. Wushuang's current skills are sufficient, but if he is not famous, it is not worth the money.

However, Mrs. Li understood clearly that if Wushuang's gift was given to please the Queen Mother, then Wushuang would definitely become famous.

When the time comes, Wushuang's worth will naturally increase. Instead of doing this, it is better to pay enough money in advance to befriend this person. If you have the ability, you must befriend him in advance so that he can be used well.

While Wu Shuang was busy, everyone in the Pei family was not idle either. Ginseng had already been planted. Bai Mengli finally found a way to grow all the ginseng seedlings.

Ginseng is planted on the land and in the mountains to simulate the wild environment as much as possible, hoping to improve the quality of ginseng.

Pei Zishu and Pei Zan, together with Pei Zijue, took turns inspecting the land to prevent anyone from damaging the ginseng seedlings. Bai Mengli grew almost everywhere in the land and paid close attention to all changes in ginseng.

In order to plant ginseng, the Pei family bought thirty strong laborers to be responsible for the planting of ginseng.

Pei Jingyuan's deer farm has also been set up. She lives with her maid Ling Dang, several servants responsible for protecting her safety, and the family's veterinarian Old Man Shen, who lives in the deer farm every day.

Something's wrong with the deer.

So Wushuang finally finished his busy work. When he returned home in broad daylight, there was no one at home. People were either busy looking at ginseng in the field, or staying at the deer farm to look at the deer.

Wushuang walked around the empty house and said to her maid Hongyao: "I thought it would be lively when I went home, and I also wanted to have a big meal together in the evening, but now it's better, we are all too busy and have no time to get together.

.”

Hongyao smiled and poured tea for Wushuang: "If you want some masters, young mistress, you can go to the fields to see the master, madam, uncle and the others, or you can go to the village where deer are raised to see the young lady."

Wushuang thought for a while and said, "That's all, let's go see Jingyuan, and by the way, let someone notify my parents, saying that I'm done with my work, and we'll all come back to get together in the evening."

Hong Yao nodded and went out to ask someone to go to the field to deliver a message to the master and his wife. Wu Shuang got on the carriage that was still untied and went straight to the Deer Farm.

The deer-breeding village was not far from my home, and the carriage took less than a quarter of an hour to reach the place, right at the junction of the village head and the neighboring village.

If it were not so close to home, the Pei family would not be able to let Pei Jingyuan live here alone. Of course, it is also related to the fact that Pei Jingyuan has been exercising very well during this period and can really fight two big men by herself.

When Wushuang arrived at the deer farm, Pei Jingyuan, who had received the news, hurried to pick Wushuang up.

Because I was busy making the phoenix crown, I was in a hurry every time I went back and forth, and everyone was busy. In fact, Wushuang had not seen Pei Jingyuan for several months.

Not only Pei Jingyuan, but also Pei Zan, Bai Mengli, Pei Zijue and Pei Zishu, Wushuang haven't seen each other for a long time.

After not seeing each other for several months, when they suddenly met, Wushuang found that Pei Jingyuan had turned a few shades darker and had lost a lot of weight, but she was in good spirits and looked very energetic.

Seeing Wushuang, Pei Jingyuan happily rushed over and hugged Wushuang: "Sister-in-law, I miss you so much!"

Wushuang hugged Pei Jingyuan back, patted her slender back, and said with a smile: "I miss you too. I see that you are in good spirits. I think you have had a great time during this time."

Pei Jingyuan let go of Wu Shuang, raised her head proudly, and said, "That's right, my life is not an ordinary one. Come, I will take you, sister-in-law, to see what I have accomplished during this period."

Wushuang was held by Pei Jingyuan's hand and ran into the manor at a trot. She didn't run far when she saw a group of deer leisurely wandering around the manor eating hay.

These deer all look like they are not yet adults. They are all cute and cute, and they are not afraid of people. They open their watery deer eyes and look at Wushuang, a strange outsider.

While still chewing grass in his mouth, Wushuang also noticed that there were feeding troughs for the deer everywhere in the manor.

There are also servants carrying baskets and dung pickers, patrolling the ground to pick up the excrement pulled by the deer to keep the villa clean.

However, there is not much feces, because there is a repaired deer toilet nearby, and many deer will automatically go to the dedicated deer toilet to defecate.

Wu Shuang did not expect that Pei Jingyuan was not only a free-range deer, but also taught these deer to use the toilet.

Seeing Wushuang staring at the place where the deer went to the toilet, Pei Jingyuan said: "Actually, this is an unexpected surprise. I didn't plan to keep it free-range in the first place.

But there was a deer that was very smart. When he saw me going to the toilet, he actually knew how to go with me. I liked it very much, so I built a toilet for it.

Then this fawn taught other fawns how to use the toilet, and would only occasionally defecate in other places. I thought, if all fawns can use the toilet, it is better to keep them free-range."

Wushuang touched the deer grazing leisurely next to her and said, "It's very good. The deer you raised are very healthy. When they grow up, they can cut their antler."

Pei Jingyuan picked up a fawn, touched the deer's head and said with endless longing: "When we can cut the antler, we can make money."

Wushuang followed Pei Jingyuan around the villa. The place was built simply and neatly. In addition to the living quarters, it was also a shed for the deer to shelter from the wind and rain.

Even the living quarters are very simple. The three large rooms in the front house Pei Jingyuan, her personal maid Lingdang, and a woman in charge of cooking.

The slightly shorter houses at the back house the other servants responsible for taking care of the deer and the veterinarian, Old Man Shen, as well as Old Man Shen's grandson Shen Ping.

Although Shen Ping did not sell his body, he could not live on his own even with a child of several years old. Pei Zan specifically allowed Old Man Shen to take his grandson with him. It would not cost much to feed and house a child. The Pei family was not short of one child. meal.

Wushuang said to Pei Jingyuan: "Your residence here is too simple. You need to build it again and buy some wives to live with you in the future.

There are too many men in Zhuangzi, and it is not safe. Although they are all servants with contracts of prostitution, there is no guarantee that none of them don't care about it.

By the way, these deer sheds also need to be rebuilt. It is not enough if there are no walls on the four sides of the shed roof. It is not very cold yet, but when the weather gets colder in a while, this shed will not be very useful.

The shed must be surrounded by walls to prevent wind and snow from blowing in, so that the deer inside can survive the late winter wind and snow.

When deer survive in the wild, they will look for a place that is warm and sheltered from the wind and snow. Deer that have been artificially bred cannot find a place, so we have to make proper arrangements.

Build the house to be warmer and add some fire walls inside. If it gets too cold and the fire walls are set on fire, you don’t have to worry about the deer freezing to death."

Pei Jingyuan nodded and said: "I didn't think about this anymore. I just thought that these deer can survive in the wild. They are definitely not afraid of the cold and will not be unable to survive the winter.

But I forgot that if we live outside, the deer can move around and find shelter for themselves from the cold. I will ask people to buy adobe bricks and build the walls of the shed as quickly as possible."

Wushuang nodded and said: "Although winter has just entered, it has always been cold in the north. Once it snows, the weather will soon get colder. We need to work harder."

Wushuang had nothing to do, so he just stayed behind and worked with Pei Jingyuan to buy adobe bricks to build walls for the shed.

By the time I was busy contacting people and buying enough adobe bricks, it was already dusk, and there were large and spectacular fire clouds on the horizon.

Wushuang counted the time. Pei Zan and Bai Mengli should have come back, so he said to Pei Jingyuan: "Okay, it's almost time to go home. My parents should also go back. Let's have a reunion dinner today. Tomorrow Get busy again."

Pei Jingyuan also said with some joy: "Since my parents and two brothers were busy planting ginseng, I was busy raising deer, and sister-in-law, you also went out early and came back late to work with the magistrate. It has been a long time since we got together to eat together." It’s time for dinner, it’s rare to get together today, so we must have a good meal.”

Wushuang looked at the deer in Pei Jingyuan's arms fondly, and suddenly became teasing. He nodded the head of the deer in her arms and said, "I think you raised the deer well, why don't we eat it today?"

Let’s roast venison.”

Pei Jingyuan immediately let out a cry, with a distressed expression on her face: "Goodbye, sister-in-law, look, these deer are still small, they are all baby deer, and they have no meat to eat.

Besides, when we raise deer, we need to cut off the antlers. Every deer is a treasure. If you eat one, you will lose a pair of good antlers, which is all money.

You see, it’s not like we can’t afford meat now, there is a lot of meat to eat, chicken, duck, pork, goose, mutton, you can buy whatever meat you want, just don’t eat these deer.”

Seeing Pei Jingyuan's anxious look, Wushuang couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "I'm kidding you, you think I really want to eat venison."

Seeing that Wushuang was teasing her, Pei Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, put down the deer in her hand, took Wushuang's hand and said, "Let's go home."

When Wushuang and Pei Jingyuan returned home, Pei Zan, Bai Mengli, Pei Zijue, and Pei Zishu were already at home.

A table of delicious dishes is also set out, steaming hot, and looks particularly warm in this winter.

Seeing Wushuang and Pei Jingyuan come back, the whole family got up and went out. Bai Mengli smiled warmly, Pei Zan smiled implicitly, and Pei Zijue admired them enthusiastically.

Only Pei Zishu's smile was as gentle as water, and the eyes he looked at Wushuang contained infinite affection, like a pool of spring water, wrapping Wushuang softly.

Wushuang felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Pei Zishu. Although she had no memory of previous relationships, she had lived for so long and had never seen anything. Even fools had become mature after living for so long. Naturally, she knew what the other party meant.

Wushuang coughed, ignored Pei Zishu's entangled eyes, called mother happily, and went straight to Bai Mengli.

Next, Wushuang interacted with everyone enthusiastically, while Pei Zishu stood aside, helping Wushuang remove fish bones and peel shrimps.

These river shrimps are precious things in winter. You have to dig holes in the ice on the river surface, and then lower the nets to catch fish. During the process of fishing, the river shrimps are taken out along with them.

They are rare in quantity and expensive. A plate of river shrimp is much more expensive than a plate of meat.

Wushuang doesn't like eating fish and shrimp very much, mainly because he dislikes the many thorns and the trouble of peeling shrimps. Pei Zishu found out and helped Wushuang pick fish bones and peel shrimps every time he ate.

Nowadays, everyone is busy. After finishing a meal, they go back to rest, and then they are busy again the next day.

Bai Mengli doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't look at the ginseng in the field for a day. Similarly, Pei Jingyuan doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't look at the deer she raises for a day.

Wushuang accompanied Pei Jingyuan back to Zhuangzi the next day and continued to arrange for people to build walls for the deer shed. Pei Zishu did not go to the ginseng field today and came with Wushuang to help Pei Jingyuan.

It happened that people in the village had a rest in winter, Wushuang gave generous wages, and all the people in the village who could work came, a lot of men and women, and started working enthusiastically, watching the wall being built very quickly.

Wushuang asked the kitchen to make a big pot dish with a lot of meat in it, making sure that one person could eat four or five large pieces of meat.

After a good meal, everyone worked harder. Wushuang worked with Pei Jingyuan for three days, and walls were built around the deer shed.

Although the walls of the temporary fortress are a little thin, they can at least keep out the wind and snow. When the room is colder, if you light up the fire wall, it won't be particularly warm, but it will definitely not freeze the deer to death.

On the second day after the wall was built, a heavy snow suddenly came, and heavy snowflakes fell one after another, covering the mountains and plains in pure white.

The fire wall inside the house was scorching hot, and the temperature was as warm as spring. A large family stayed in the house, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, while looking at the white snow outside.

During such a pleasant time, the door was suddenly banged violently!
