When Wanqing and Mu Liang arrived at the county to look for the person, it was already noon. After finding the Senior Brother of Second Son Qian, they handed him the letter.
"I can build you a house, but what kind of house would you like to build? Are there any blueprints? Or do you want me to help you design it? "
Wanqing laughed and shook her head, "I will draw my own, all you need to do is follow my instructions and build the house, do you have a pen and paper?"
The Senior Martial Brother nodded, "Yes, young lady, come with me!"
Because she wanted to draw a blueprint, the brush used was also their special pen. It was a bit similar to the modern pencil, and when Wanqing held it in her hand, she felt a little absent-minded, as if it had gone back to before.
"Wanqing? Are you okay? " When Mu Liang saw the pen in Wanqing's hand staring at the paper without moving, he thought Wanqing was sick.
Wanqing regained her senses, and lightly said to Mu Liang: "Little Uncle, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about what kind of house I should build."
The senior brother standing beside him shook his head when he heard this. It was only because of the letter from the Second Son that he agreed to help with the building, but he had thought that it was just helping with the building of an ordinary house, but the other party wanted to draw a blueprint for him. Now that he said it was to think about it, what could he think of? However, this little girl was just messing around.
Even the glazed roof tiles and the patterns on the roof were painted very clearly. However, because in this era where there were some of the lower levels and higher levels, not everything could be placed on the roof, Wanqing had drawn the Rare Beast Qilin, to protect the peace of the house.
The layout of Wanqing's three-in-four courtyard was made up of the two main characteristics of the north, south, south and north side of the courtyard.
The basic configuration of the courtyard was actually a courtyard that was surrounded by four houses.
The single courtyard was a four-in-one courtyard. The two courtyards were two-in-four, and the three courtyards were three-in-four. If there were more in the web, that could be added, but what Wanqing wanted to create was a three-in-four.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that the shape of the courtyard was like a mouth shape. The second courtyard was like a sun shape, while the third courtyard was like a eye shape.
In Wanqing's previous life, she was from Beijing, but people from Beijing lived in houses with care. There was an old saying that if you had money, you couldn't live in the southeast, and it wasn't warm in the winter or cool in the summer.
The north side was the proper direction of the courtyard, while the front door was usually at the southeast corner of the courtyard. The south side of the courtyard was called an inverted seat, which was also known as the southeast house.
Mu Liang had never seen such a house, so it was very strange for a moment, while that senior brother also stretched his neck out in joy as he watched Wanqing draw his last stroke.
"Miss, this? Is that what you think? This courtyard? She was actually this beautiful and generous? Even some of the larger families would not be able to build such perfect buildings.
Girl, do you have a name for this house you drew? What was his name? Can I use it on other families in the future? "
Senior brother was so shocked, after working on this building for his entire life, he had never seen such a house, it could not be said that he was overwhelmed with joy, but this Senior brother was still a very upright person, if not he would have immediately used it, why would he ask Wanqing?
Wanqing looked at the blueprints she had drawn, then looked at her senior brother, she suddenly thought of a good way to earn silver, but she did not know if the person in front of him could be relied on, but he could not be rash, it was better to just watch.
"Mm, let's talk about this later. But Senior-apprentice Brother, can you create this?" Wanqing frowned and asked.
Even though the Senior Brother heard this, he felt a bit uncomfortable, but he still nodded happily, "Mm, don't worry. I will definitely bring people to properly build this house for you and will not let you down. Or do you want us to take them all over? "
Wanqing knew what he meant was: should I subcontract them all or just craft them all? Wanqing asked after thinking about it, "If I use your best materials, how much silver would it take to build a courtyard like this?"
The Senior Martial Brother thought for a moment and then said the most fair price, "How about this, Miss. We will get them all. We will give the best materials to Miss and accept her two hundred taels of silver."
Although Wanqing did not know the price of the best things in this era, this two hundred silver sounded like a fair price to him.
"I haven't told you the details of the house. Are you sure you want to use the best one?" Wanqing still had to clarify the matter a little. After all, this house was her own foundation.
When Mu Liang heard about the two hundred silver, he was shocked. It was not a small amount, but it was two hundred silver, which many farmers would never be able to earn in their entire lives. How could Wanqing possibly take out such a large sum of silver?
"Wanqing, you …"
"Little Uncle, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Wanqing knew that Mu Liang wanted to say something, and immediately interrupted him.
Mu Liang frowned, he really couldn't understand where Wanqing could get this silver from, but looking at Wanqing's confident face, he lightly nodded his head in the end, "Alright, as long as you know what to do."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the senior brother smiled and said, "Miss, since you believe us, then no matter if it is inside or outside, as long as it is what you say, I will definitely bring people with me to do the best for you. You can rest assured!"
Actually, there was something else that hadn't been said by this senior. It was that the blueprint that was given to him was extremely attractive. Aside from the appearance of the house, he was also very curious about the structure of the house.
After booking the house, Wanqing handed over the deposit of 100 silver taels to the senior brother, who directly told 10 people to follow Wanqing and two others back and build the foundation of the house, and he brought the people and prepared all the materials needed, but it was impossible to prepare all of them, since there would always be something left behind, and it would be dealt with later.
Halfway there, Wanqing even went to the town to buy a lot of vegetables, meat, rice and noodles. After all, these people worked hard and had to eat everyday, so they couldn't afford to eat three meals a day.
The news of Wanqing bringing so many people and buying those good things quickly spread to the entire village, and even the people from Mu Family knew of it. Old Mrs Mu was so angry that his entire body trembled, and his complexion turned frighteningly ashen.
"Good ah, this little slut, why must we split the family, it turns out that she secretly hid the silver. Heng, what do you mean by borrowing the silver, it must be all fake. No, I must find that slut and have her spit it out for me."
The old lady said that she was about to leave, and Madame Zhou quickly followed behind her. She definitely could not let this matter rest, even if she were to bring back some silver, she would definitely have a share of the spoils. Last night, she had spent a lot of silver on Mu Yue.
The Huan Niang saw this and quickly stayed by the old lady's side. Her intention was obvious, she wanted to go too, all the men in the house had gone to work in the fields, if the three of them were to go, leaving behind the two small ones would not be possible. Mu Yue was injured, he could not even watch the two small ones.
The old lady looked at the two little ones and suddenly thought of an idea. She turned to look at Madame Zhou and said, "You two, carry them, one for each of us. Let's go find that little bitch and make her spit out the silver."
After Wanqing brought his men back to the bamboo forest, she directly told them to chop all the bamboo within a hundred mile radius from the center of the bamboo forest. It was just right for them to set up a few temporary sheds, and the location of the foundation was also out.
After all, he was still a young lady who hadn't left the pavilion, so it wasn't good for him to walk around in front of a group of men for a long time. Mu Liang nodded in agreement, and very quickly, he returned home to call everyone over.
The group of men worked naturally very quickly. They chopped bamboo, built tents, and worked in high spirits when Old Mrs Mu and the others came over.
"Where's that little bitch Wanqing? "Let her come out …" The Old Mrs Mu outside the bamboo forest roared, causing all the workers to stop what they were doing in doubt. They frowned as they looked at the old lady and the two women in their arms.
"Who is this?" "Who is she calling?"
"I don't know. Who knows!"
Although the bamboo forest was spacious, the sound could still be heard very clearly. Wanqing, who was inside the thatched cottage could hear everything clearly.
When Madame Wang and Madame Zheng heard this voice, both of them frowned and looked outside. Madame Wang said angrily, "Has this Old Mrs Mu gone mad? Is it hard not to find trouble every day? "
Madame Zheng nodded, "Isn't that so? He will not be able to look at Wanqing well in a single day. "
Madame Wang seemed to have thought about it before looking at Wanqing and saying, "Little girl Wanqing, I'm afraid Old Mrs Mu came to ask for silver, but Aunt is also very curious, you have only been in the branch family for two or three days, how can you earn so much silver?"
"Yes, I'll talk to you about this matter with auntie in the future. I'll send those people away first, then we'll talk about it."
"Little bitch, I say, why did you send people to split up? You say that the money is borrowed? I don't know which family can lend you so much silver. You don't even know how to bring home food and meat to honor the two of us? "You truly are an ungrateful bastard. Scourge, get out here right now …"
The old granny cursed as she looked at the people who slowly stopped what they were doing. When she saw that almost everyone stopped their work, she sat down on the ground and clapped her hands while howling.
"There's no justice left in this world. She raised this little ingrate into a big one for her to eat and drink, yet raised a little inhumane little beast that doesn't know filial piety."
Furthermore, he secretly saved up some silver coins behind his back. With the money, he would force the family to split up. Then, he would start to buy bamboo forest houses. This time, he wouldn't be our grandparents even if he bought good food.
This little b * tch has been raised for nothing. Oh god, why didn't you strike down lightning on her? Why did you strike down such an unfilial person and kill her … God, why don't you open your eyes! "
"Mother, don't be like this. Wanqing is still a little girl, she has a wild and unruly personality, she doesn't submit to rules and regulations, and she doesn't know how to be filial. We'll just teach her a good lesson then, don't be angry, it's not good for your body to be angry."
"That's right, Mother. We will properly teach her. Don't be angry, old man!" Huan Niang added.
The three of them started to talk and sing, giving Wanqing an unfilial hat, causing the workers to have a bad impression of him, and all of them started to discuss how Wanqing looked at such a good girl, to be so unfilial, truly was a person that could not be judged.
Wanqing had not even gotten close when she heard the old lady's wails and discussions.
Wanqing said with an ice-cold expression, "What did Mu Family Grandmother say? Am I going to die from your beating, do I have to be filial to you? When we were at the Mu Family, could my brother and I not eat our fill and sleep in the woodshed without resistance? "Then, does Grandma Mu mean that even if we starve to death, we won't be able to resist?"
