The two masters led some people to start laying floor tiles, building wall eaves, and repairing small objects that were missing everywhere. Yu Guisheng accompanied his brothers into the fruit forest, and a total of nine grass pavilions were repaired in the peach blossom forest from high to low. Different from those ordinary octagonal pavilions, the lacquer color is bright red and dazzling, the pillars of these grass pavilions are only slightly brushed with a few layers of tung oil, maintaining the original wood color, and the top of the pavilion is made up of a circle of straw curtains in addition to a layer of rain-proof oilcloth, and occasionally the breeze blows, and the faint fragrance of grass will drift out. Under the wooden floor under the pavilion, a fire dragon is built in the shape of a pankang, and even if you sit in the pavilion in winter to enjoy the scenery, you will not be frozen to snot and lose your demeanor.

A few of the grass pavilions looked very simple at a glance, but in fact they took a lot of effort, and by the time they were all repaired, another seven or eight days had passed. Dong Rong went in and walked around, and then added two more in the pear forest, one under several pomegranate trees, and one in the apple forest, making a total of thirteen.

After these tasks are done, the time will come to the end of February, Dong Rong and his wife took the car to the orchard early this day, Steward Zhang has already arrived at the door of the house with the account book, as soon as he saw the master arrive, he hurriedly saluted, Dong Rong helped him up and asked a few words in a low voice, and when he was sure that everything was ready, he walked into the house side by side with the stupid pillar.

In the Yujiatang house, there were two long benches on the left and right, several mason carpenters, and the old men with prestige among the homeless people, as well as Liu's sister-in-law Zhao Qingshan Meihua and others were all talking and laughing in low voices. Seeing the owner come in, they all got up and saluted, and Dong Rong and Silly Zhu sat down on the main seat before laughing and shouting to everyone not to be polite.

Everyone obeyed the rules, but when they sat down again, they had a smile on their faces. Dong Rong was not too verbose, and thanked several masters for their great help, and each of them gave a reward of two taels of silver in addition to the salary they deserved. Several masters originally looked at Gui Sheng's face, and they worked very hard, but they didn't expect the main family to treat them well, but these days they saw that the food and drink were very rich, and now the main family is so generous, naturally they are all happy. When they received the money, they said that if there was any more work in the orchard, they would be on call.

Dong Rong smiled and thanked him, and finally took a thick stack of drawings and handed them to Yu Guisheng's master, and instructed, "Master, these are some woodware that still needs to be made at home, and the materials and sizes are marked on the drawings." Your old man can go home and make it slowly, and let Zhang Guan pay you twenty taels of silver in advance, and the rest will be transported to settle together, what do you think? ”

The old carpenter didn't expect to receive such a big job, so he naturally responded with his mouth, and finally looked at the apprentice with some doubts and reproach in his eyes.

Dong Rong guessed the old man's thoughts, so he casually instructed Yu Guisheng, "The wooden utensils are made for the master, so when you have free time, quickly lead someone to cover the chicken rack." Otherwise, Silian is so diligent, and your house will soon be occupied with chickens. ”

Everyone turned their heads to listen to the rooster crows from time to time in the inner room, and they all laughed. The old master was also worried, and asked the apprentice in a low voice if he needed to leave the two senior brothers to help, but Yu Guisheng naturally declined.

Several masters also had eyes, and when they saw that the master's family still had something to order, they hurriedly left. Dong Rong got up and sent two steps, and because Gui Sheng did the work, Liu Ergou waited outside the orchard early to open the carriage door. Seeing this, several masters were full of praise for the thoughtful hospitality of the master's family, and in the end, they even regretted that when they did the work before, they should have been more meticulous.

Not to mention how a few masters gossip in private, just said that Dong Rong smiled and took a sip of tea and said to a few homeless old men, "A few old men, now that all the work in the orchard has been done, I am afraid that it is almost time to cultivate in your hometown, so I won't keep you more." Steward Zhang had already negotiated with several convoys in the city, and the carriage they bought from the south would take everyone on most of the journey. Tomorrow morning, Steward Zhang will send everyone into the city, and he can ask him about the specific arrangements. ”

"It's... Is the owner letting us go back to our hometown? Several old men stood up excitedly when they heard this, and their excitement was overflowing. Returning home, they have been dreaming of their own broken grass houses every night in the past few months, and even the old dog at the head of the village has made them miss it very much. Now that I hear that I am finally going back, I can't wait to step to the door of the house for a while.

People love the soil, and the fallen leaves return to the roots. If you can't really live, who wants to drag your old body away from home. Dong Rong understood in her heart, and naturally didn't care about their questioning and rudeness, and said with a smile, "This is what I said when I hired everyone at that time, and I naturally won't regret it." In addition, I need some people in this orchard, preferably literate half-grown children. If anyone wants to stay, go to Steward Zhang and say it, sign a five-year contract, 300 yuan per month, including food and housing. ”

Seeing that several old men seemed to be still immersed in the joy of going home, Steward Zhang forgot to speak out and responded, so he hurriedly stepped forward and responded, "Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." I will also check the straw account books again, and pay all the wages. ”

Dong Rong nodded, and turned to Sister-in-law Liu and Meihua and said, "Sisters-in-law, remember to gather all the food on the big stove, make pancakes or steamed steamed buns, give a point to the villagers, and take the road to be hungry." ”

Sister-in-law Liu and Meihua originally wanted to ask about this, but when they heard this, they responded with a smile, "Yes, the owner." Let's go back to the village and go to Zhangluo. ”

Dong Rong thought about it, as if there was nothing missing, she planned to go up the mountain with Silly Zhu. But Sister-in-law Liu smiled and grabbed her and whispered, "Owner, if any of the children in the village want to do work, can they also come to the orchard?" ”

Dong Rong remembered that her eldest son was already ten years old, so she smiled and responded, "As long as you are literate and clever, let Steward Zhang teach for a few days when the time comes, and when the guests enter the garden, they will be responsible for listening to the instructions." In the future, if there is any other business in the family, they may have a better job. ”

Sister-in-law Liu's eyes were even more happy when she heard this, Steward Zhang is a powerful person, if his son can learn his three-point skills, and the owner will start a business in the future, wouldn't he be able to be a little steward.

Meihua also thought of her nephew, and thought about talking to the owner in private, so that she could bring it into the orchard.

Dong Rong ignored their careful thoughts, and went up the mountain with Silly Zhu. Compared with the previous time, the greenery in the mountains has become very thick at this time, and some of the sunny slopes have wild vegetables emerging from the soil, and the delicate and tender buds and leaves are swaying shyly in the warm spring breeze, which is very endearing. The young couple walked side by side on the mountain road, laughing and talking from time to time. Dong Rong pointed to a piece of shepherd's cabbage and said with a smile, "You will be able to pick wild vegetables in a few days, and when the time comes, blanch and mix, it will be fresh and refreshing." ”

Silly Zhu has a different opinion, "It's not as delicious as braised pork." ”

Dong Rong was so angry that she pinched him, and said angrily, "You know how to eat meat, and if you are careful, you will grow like a fat pig." ”

Silly Zhu laughed, obviously not frightened, so angry that Dong Rong stomped his feet and sped up his steps.

The original three small huts on the top of the hill have completely disappeared, and now there is a very neat two-entry courtyard in front of you.

There is a large open space outside the gate of the courtyard, and the two ruyi doors are also very inconspicuous. But when I opened the courtyard door and went in, I saw a wall, and a two-person high osmanthus tree was planted in front of the wall.

When you turn the screen door, you will enter the courtyard, and the six connected inverted seats are like servants half-bowed to their waists, standing quietly and regularly in the sun. A pomegranate tree in the corner of the wall waved its arms wantonly, completely uncaring that the leaves fell on the bluestone well platform below.

The hanging flower gate not far away is the opposite of the simplicity of the gate, and it is gorgeous. The eaves pillar on the door does not fall to the ground, hangs on the middle pillar through the fang, the middle pillar is engraved with delicate lines such as petals and lotus leaves, and even two small pottery jars are placed on both sides of the gate. Presumably it was reserved for the main family to plant some evergreen potted plants, but now it is empty.

Entering the hanging flower door, there are five main houses in front of you, the hanging gable roof is hung with gray tiles, the columns that retain the color of the logs, the window ridges of the 10,000-character grid, and the milky white window paper, which makes people feel warm at just a glance. There are two small cross-courtyards on both sides of the main house, and there are two small houses in the cross-courtyard, which are good to be the treasury of the inner courtyard or to leave relatives and daughters to live in.

Relative to the main house, the east and west wings of the finished glyph are also five rooms, and the windows, ribs, porches, columns and other things are no different from the main house. There was also an ear room in the corner near the second gate, and when the time came, one was reserved for personal servants to live in, and the other was used as a stove room.

The center of the courtyard is paved with cyan floor tiles, some of which are carved with simple lines, and put together is a big bat and begonia picture, which means that it is full of wealth and is very elegant.

Behind the main house, a full four feet away was left in the open space before the bluestone wall was built, which was left to prepare for the future when there were many servants in the family and the residence was not enough. This foresight alone shows how serious and responsible the masters are in their work, which provoked Dong Rong to nod her head constantly, and her reward of two taels of silver was really not in vain.

Previously, the young couple of them also used to come and go, but this was the first time they had completely walked the entire yard. The two walked and stopped, discussing from time to time which courtyard was used for what, although most of the time Silly Zhu played the role of an audience, but Dong Rong refused to be self-conscious, and always had to ask him. The young couple was so lively and lively to visit their new home, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Dong Rong stood in the east courtyard, looking at the bathroom connected to the main house, reluctant to leave. The conditions were not good before, she could only take a bath every three days, and often because she was afraid of contracting the cold, she just took a quick bath. Now when she saw that there was enough large wooden barrel for three people to bathe at the same time, she was so happy that she couldn't immediately jump into the hot water and plop it up.

Silly Zhu looked amused on the side, stepped forward and pulled her out and said, "It's time to go home." ”

Dong Rong reluctantly went out, thought about it and said, "Don't wait for the furniture to be ready, let's move in tomorrow." After speaking, she seemed to feel that these words were a little willful, and quickly thought of an excuse, "It's nothing for us to stay at home for a few more days, but I'm afraid that we will be stewed and drunk by our mother one day." ”
