Enter from the black oil gate, there are five gatehouses in the east courtyard, go north is the east across the courtyard instrument gate, and the west side is the horse shed, and the horse shed has two doors, which are connected to the main courtyard and the east cross courtyard respectively. There is a side hall in the northwest corner, which Li Xiao used to entertain the villagers. Walk through the instrument door and enter the outer study, this is the house that Li Xiao plans to live in for a single man, and it can also be lived in for a foreign man who comes to do errands. There are forty eight-square-meter cottages.

The north side of the outer study is the inner instrument door, and the inner instrument door has three gatehouses, and the courtyard to the west of the inner instrument door is the courtyard prepared by Li Xiao for Wang Wensheng, called Qingxiang Pavilion. There are three main rooms, two ear rooms, two east and west wing rooms, one east and west ear rooms, and the southwest corner is a small kitchen. Neiyi Gate went straight to the north, and after Wang Wensheng's house, it was Li Xiao's main courtyard. Li Xiao's courtyard is called Rongqingtang, which is very different from the ancient house, enter from the south gate, and cross the stone screen, which is the courtyard of Rongqingtang. To the west of the courtyard are meeting rooms, dining rooms and kitchens. The east side is the garden, the southwest corner of the garden is two maid rooms, there is a rockery on the east wall of the garden, a corner door is opened in the rockery, I don't really know that there is a door here if I don't look carefully. The corner gate goes out to the south and can be directly reached by horse-drawn carriage to the inner gate. Straight to the north is the armory room.

Rongqing Hall, there are five main rooms, from west to east are the study, the master bedroom inner room, the master bedroom outhouse, the bathroom, and the practice room. Only the study, the outhouse and the practice room have doors to the south, and the inner room and bathroom have windows to the south. The north wall of the house is next to the armory room. The basement of the study is where Li Xiao puts his account books, and the basement of the bedroom is Li Xiao's vault. The underground of the armory room is divided into two warehouses in the north and south, the north side is the underground ice cellar, and the south side is the underground granary. The entire underground works of Rongqingtang are built of stone and brick, and the cost of Rongqingtang is more than that of the main courtyard and the west cross courtyard.

It took more than two months and almost all the people in the three villages to complete the entire Li Mansion before it was completed a year ago.

Li Xiao took everyone to visit Hang Seng Hall, Jing Ji Hall and Fu Ling Yuan. And the arrangement of the courtyard was mentioned, and everyone went to rest without objection. Li Xiao originally let them all live together first, and when they bought a girl and a carriage, they lived separately, the family was too big, and it would take time to leave. But everyone has always thought that they are croppers, just clean up the house by themselves, and how tiring it can be to walk a few steps, so they denied Li Xin's novel. Li Xiao really has no kung fu, and he has to explain the problem of the river tomorrow. Let them go back to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Xiao was found by Zhang Cheng to go to the courtyard of the Zhang family ancestral hall, and when Li Xiao arrived, he also saw the head of the Li family and the Li family. Li carefully thought that this was because he wanted three triages. Hmph, I don't know how to count.

Li Xiaoda walked in in a big way, and those who didn't know thought it was the young master of whose family, this all-round style, no one could be underestimated. When Li Ren followed Patriarch Li, he was very worried about Li Xiao when he saw this situation. Seeing Li Xiao's performance, he silently praised Li Xiao in his heart.

The patriarch of the Zhang family motioned to the patriarch of the Li family to speak, after all, Li Xiao was a member of the Li family. Patriarch Li and Patriarch Zhang sat on the upper seat. Patriarch Li said, "Li Qing, how do you explain the matter of the river?" “

Li Xiao stepped forward and said, "Hello to the two patriarchs, good to all the clansmen. I think I've done enough for three villages, I wonder what you mean by today's situation? ”

Patriarch Li was a little displeased when he saw Li Xiao's tough attitude. said: "Let you say, you can say, where is so much nonsense." ”

Li Xiao said: "Since everyone wants to know, then I'll say it directly." The mountain in the back, including the river in the mountain, was bought by my master. My master meant to cut off the water source, and he would release water down the mountain only after our three villages paid grain every year. ”

Before Li Xiao's words were finished, the pot was fried outside the ancestral hall. Li Xiaoquan didn't hear it, and said in a loud voice: "I said a lot of good things to my master, and my master agreed not to cut off the water source." So I think I've done a lot for the village. Since I am here today, I also happen to have one thing to tell you, that is, my master will send someone to take over the mountain behind it, and then his people will live in Lijia Village and Zhangjia Village to the west. ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, there was another frying pan in the yard, all of which were negative voices. Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "It seems that everyone can't agree to this matter, my master has already bought those lands." ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, everyone was quiet. How is it that today? Patriarch Zhang and Patriarch Li were stupid, and they couldn't understand how things could be like this.

Li Xiao continued: "For the sake of the village, I wanted to ask my master to let Wujia Village move to the west of Lijia Village and Zhangjia Village, so that Wujia Village would separate outsiders from our two villages. My master is still considering my opinion. Because Wujia Village is originally a foreign village, outsiders will get along with Wujia Village better than with us. Wujia Village has lived here for many years and has a friendship with our two villages. Personally, I think it's the best. Of course, the specifics depend on the meaning of the two patriarchs. ”

Li Xiao saluted the two patriarchs and said, "I still have a lot of things to do, and everyone knows that I was so busy that I didn't even have time to pick up my old lady, and my uncle and grandfather helped send it back." I really didn't have time to deal with these things, so we told Village Chief Li and Village Chief Zhang about the decision, and then asked the two of them to go to Village Chief Wu, and the three of them discussed it before coming to talk to me. I'll go tell my master again. Then I'll go first. After speaking, Li Xiao left.

Everyone couldn't take care of Li Xiao, and they were all talking about what to do, the river water problem was no longer a problem before, and Li Qing said that the water would not be cut off. But outsiders are a problem, and people can't let them drive people away after they buy land, so maybe it is the best choice to let Wujia Village move to the middle. The people discussed here for a day, and the final result was that they agreed to move over from Wujia Village. But Wujia Village is required to be next to their two villages, and if there is a conflict between their villagers and outsiders in the future, Li Qing has to face them. Li Ren and Zhang Cheng made their own decisions and bargained with the elders of the clan the next day. In the end, Wujia Village moved over, and if there was a conflict, Li Qing wanted to help the right side. The terms and conditions were written by Wang Wensheng, and the representatives of the three villages were the heads of the three villages. So the final result was that Li Xiao, Zhang Cheng, Li Ren, and Wu Tian signed an agreement. Wang Wensheng wrote as a witness.

When the matter was over, Patriarch Li felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it. Finally, he consulted the old patriarch. The old patriarch said: "In the future, you don't care about the affairs of the village, what is the relationship between the five of them, you just can't find it comfortable." I thought something big had happened that was worth studying for three days. With that, the old patriarch pouted and left.

Patriarch Li was left alone in the courtyard in a daze, and he felt that they had let those boys play tricks.
