"You are Mr. Bai, the largest shareholder of the farm, and the many slaves show your identity."

"But I'm a civilian, this house is completely over-standard, I can't bear to sue me in the future."

"Mr. Bai is worried, don't worry, this house is not over-standard, this gate is going to be changed for you, looking at the wall is so long, the left and right spans are large, and the yard is large and small, but the depth is only three in, rich people are such a house, as long as the depth does not exceed the standard, the left and right spans do not matter, otherwise the rich people's wives and concubines and children are in groups, how can so many people live in a house with only three entrances?"

"When I came around the back door, the length of the side alley didn't look like there were only three courtyards."

"The yard is big, the house is small, if you don't believe it, let's go in and take a look, no matter what you look at, it won't exceed the standard, and you will never be caught in the future."

The foreman talked about this, and Bai Ko didn't bother anymore, nodded, and followed the foreman in to have a look.

The former owner of this house is a famous businessman in the capital, because of the involvement in the smuggling case of the Zhao family, the court confiscated countless properties from this family, under the guidance of the foreman, Bai Ko saw that the house is indeed worth the quotation of 8,000 taels, just its own materials and workmanship are terrible, the materials of the front and rear rooms where the master lives are all first-class goods, and they are located in Shangfang, if it is not for the confiscation of real estate, the quotation is also possible.

This is a pretty good house, so there are other rich and powerful families who want to get this house is reserved for Bai Ko, she can't look down on it to be someone else's turn to bid.

"Eight thousand taels." Bai Ko sighed, is she worried about money, last year's workshop dividends were tens of thousands of taels, she could pay the 8,000 taels, just think that her monthly salary is not enough to support slaves, and feel that the cost of living in this house is too expensive.

"This is a fixed price for Mr. Bai, otherwise if you put it out to bid, the 8,000 is the reserve price."

"And this money includes the cost of your work to repair the house?"

"The overall structure of the house, the repair and painting of the walls, the dredging of the drainage ditches, these basic civil engineering aspects belong to us, what kind of house is left by the original owner, we repair it on the basis of keeping it as it is and hand it over to the new owner, the required wages and materials are in the house price, no additional payment, but if the interior is redecorated, or there are other renovation requirements, the new owner is willing to give us a wallet to do, we will also do it."

"Oh, then I have quite a lot of remodeling requirements."

"If Mr. Bai has any ideas, just say, our craftsmen are first-class, palaces, temples, palaces, and government offices, there is nothing that will not be built or repaired, and it is guaranteed that it will be exactly the same as you imagined after the reconstruction."

"If I buy this house, first of all, all the doors and windows, whether it is the owner's upper room or the lower person's squatter house, are all made of glass, double glazing, and no window paper."

"Glass? Double deck?! The foreman was slightly stunned, "Like a large greenhouse in the workshop?" The doors and windows are going to be heavy. ”

"Sound insulation and insulation, burn the earth dragon or brazier in winter, save charcoal, and the people in the house are not afraid of whispering outside the wall."

"Oh! Or Mr. Bai is thoughtful! ”

"In order to avoid the opening of the windows facing the corridor and occupy the road surface, install fixed screens on the outside, and the glass windows are all pushed and pulled up and down, and the window bolts are made of the best steel, which must be firm and strong, once such a heavy window is smashed, it will break people's fingers and bones. Got it? ”

Bai Ko made a few gestures to open the window, and the foreman, who had been in this line of work for half his life, quickly understood what this style was.

"Understand, I'll make a sample for Mr. Bai to see, if it's done right, then we can prepare materials and replace the windows of the whole department."

"Don't worry, I haven't thought about how to change the kitchen, I have to have a big kitchen, well-ventilated, and it must not be as hot as a steamer in summer, just standing in it will cause heat stroke, how can I still have the heart to cook for myself, and I feel like I'm going to faint when I cook bowls and noodles."

"It's easy, according to the ventilation structure of the imperial kitchen, I will give you a new kitchen."

"Huh? By the structure of the imperial kitchen? I? Can it be used? ”

"The ventilation structure, this is not excessive, just pay for it, don't tell you, those who open restaurants and restaurants, as long as they are willing to pay, can also repair such a kitchen."

"Well, that's okay, I'll book one, but don't worry, you guys get the civil construction first, and I'll think about how to change the house."

"So, Bai always settled on this house?"

"The court has helped me pick it out, so what else do I have to be picky, pay tomorrow."

"That's okay, it's inconvenient for you, it's okay to send someone to run errands, it's just a matter of signing a few words."

"Okay, I'll send someone tomorrow." Bai Ko circled around and looked around, "I'll walk through this house first, and then I'll know what to say when others ask me when I go back." ”

The foreman smiled and led Bai Ko to walk through the big mansion carefully, and the two discussed a lot of ideas and details of repair and reconstruction, before going out of the gate to say goodbye.

Ning Peilan knew that Bai Ko was called by the Ministry of Industry to see the house, and when she learned that she was back, she immediately ran to Bai Ko's room to ask her how she looked.

"Eight thousand taels of house~" Bai Ko lay on the table softly, "It's so expensive to raise a house~ I only earn a few dollars a month~"

"But it's a good house, isn't it? Tianfufang, leaning on the moat, the back door of your house is facing the wall, a good place, the scenery is very good. ”

"That's right, the back cover of this house is a three-story building, and you can see the moat and the city wall over the wall, and the scenery is good."

"So that's it?"

"The house given by the imperial court, the foreman said that it was the above meaning, if I don't accept it, won't I not give the court face?"

Ning Peilan slapped the table and laughed, "Don't say that, at least it's a good house with a lot of advantages." ”

"I have to rebuild it, the foreman said that he can repair a kitchen like the imperial kitchen for me, to ensure that it will not be as hot as a steamer in the summer, otherwise there are so many people working every day in the imperial kitchen, and if the ventilation is not good, it will not be a collective heat stroke every day in the summer."

"Huh? Is it possible to fix it like this? ”

"You don't know? The foreman said that the restaurant outside can be repaired as long as it is willing to pay, but it is a problem with the special ventilation structure of the house, and it has nothing to do with whether it exceeds the standard. ”

"Huh? Shouldn't I be able to renovate the kitchen in the palace? It's really hot in the kitchen in the summer. ”

"You have to use this kitchen every day, how do you eat when you rebuild a new kitchen?"

"It doesn't matter, there is also a kitchen for cooking for the next person, just deal with it for a few days."

"Then ask your butler to run an errand for me tomorrow, and by the way, I just happened to inquire about your renovation of the kitchen."

"Well, okay, just do it, kill two birds with one stone."

Bai Ko then got up and went to open the money box, counted eight thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to the princess, and Ning Peilan told the personal girl to remember to tell the housekeeper that she would come over tomorrow morning to receive the errand.

Ning Peilan collected the money, and the two were drinking tea and chatting about the topic of decorating the new house, such as what skilled carpenters or merchants who deal in finished furniture in the capital, Bai Ko can just buy a dowry for himself, Xiao Yezi came in with a letter and handed it to Bai Ko.

There was unfamiliar handwriting on the cover, and there was no sender's name, and Bai Ko opened the envelope, and there was only a note with a sentence written inside.

The person who investigates the whereabouts of the bustard mother and the girls is Yang Mi.
