After saying goodbye to Boss Cui, Bai Yunxi felt a lot more comfortable. She walked alone on the street and was able to observe the surrounding shops.
Seeing that it was almost time, I was ready to go home.
When passing by Baohe Tang, I happened to meet Dr. Cheng who was out for consultation.
"Sister-in-law Bai is polite, why do you have time to come to town today?"
Bai Yunxi looked at Doctor Cheng and returned the gift,
"Isn't this the end of the busy farming season? I want to take advantage of my free time to renovate my house. I'm going to town today to look for a master ink maker, and by the way, I'll take a look at the bricks, tiles, and wood."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Doctor Cheng was stunned.
"How can you build a house at this juncture?"
Seeing the surprise in Doctor Cheng's eyes, Bai Yunxi shrugged her shoulders innocently,
"Doctor Cheng doesn't know something. My whole family is currently living in a shack. It's pretty good for now, but every day I hear the rumors of the war getting worse and worse, and I always feel uneasy."
"Whenever there is a war, there will always be some refugees. If it affects us, my courtyard will not be able to stop anything. If something happens to a family of old, weak, women and children, I, as a mother, will not care.
Even underground, they cannot face their father."
Hearing Doctor Cheng's promise, Baiyunxi felt slightly blessed and expressed his gratitude.
"It's all my blessing. When I first entered the town, I met Xiaohuzi's aunt Cui. Her eldest brother happened to be the ink master. I just came out of the Cui family and I had made an agreement with the eldest brother of the Cui family.
He will go to my house tomorrow to inspect the home site and then decide how to build it."
Listening to Dr. Chen's praise, Bai Yunxi's eyes lit up.
"I wasn't sure about this at first, but after hearing what Doctor Cheng said, I have completely let go of my worries. After the house is built, I will invite Doctor Cheng to come and warm up the pot. Please don't shirk it then."
Doctor Cheng listened and nodded,
"It's all due to the good relationship made by Sister-in-law Bai. Sister-in-law is very lucky. The master of ink painting of the Cui family is really good and has a certain reputation in the town. Sister-in-law Bai can meet the Cui family, so I can rest assured about building a house."
"Sister-in-law Bai is very thoughtful. In this case, if you can use Cheng's place, please don't be polite. After all, Cheng has lived in this town for several generations. If you want to do something, it's not a big deal.
It’s too difficult.”
Baiyunxi said, pretending to sigh helplessly,
"So, I want to take advantage of the end of the farming season to build a house as soon as possible. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, we can live in it first. Although I also know that ordinary people's yards are designed to guard against gentlemen and not against villains, but after all, there is a yard, right?"
Dr. Cheng was silent for a moment while listening to Bai Yunxi's narration.
Hearing Baiyunxi's invitation, Doctor Cheng was stunned for a moment, stroking his beard randomly and smiling gently,
"As long as Mrs. Bai sends an invitation to Cheng, Cheng will definitely honor the appointment and will never shirk it."
After saying this, without waiting for Baiyunxi to thank him, Doctor Cheng directly led people to the roadside and whispered.
"Cheng will leave for the northwest in half a month."
Listening to Dr. Cheng's low tone, Bai Yunxi was startled. When she noticed the heaviness in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be that the war in the northwest will not end in a short time and that there will be another war?"
Doctor Cheng shook his head,
"I heard that the cause of this war was not only because the Tatars were short of food and clothing, but also seemed to be related to court disputes or something like that. We ordinary people don't know the specific details."
