Chapter 23 Building a New House

After wasting several pieces of rice paper, Chunyu finally drew the drawings.

There is no way, she went to college and did not study in the architecture department, so naturally she is not familiar with the construction of this house, let alone this drawing. She also painted with impressions, and the specifics depended on his father's comprehension and the views of the craftsmen.

"Eldest sister, okay, you have used my four pieces of rice paper." Xiao Baozi said anxiously on the side, this rice paper is expensive, and he is usually reluctant to use it. The homework assigned by Mr. was also practiced on the sand for a long time before being transcribed on paper, and his father made a sandbox for him to practice calligraphy.

"Okay, look at our little buns." Chunyu said with a smile that the papermaking technology at this time was not as good as that in later generations, and the paper used for writing was very expensive, so the readers were very careful.

"Eldest sister, I've grown up, don't call me a little bun in the future." Little buns, oh, I'll call them Chunsheng in the future, said unhappily.

"But no matter how big you are, it's your father's little bun, and it's also the eldest sister's little bun." Chunyu really thinks her brother is the cutest, obviously not yet six years old, but he is really cute like a little adult.

"Then, when I really grow up, my eldest sister will change her name to me." Xiao Baozi had no choice but to compromise and say.

"Okay." Chunyu covered her mouth and said with a smile, haha, it turns out that what you said before is not real......

After teasing the little bun, Chunyu went to her father to discuss building a house.

Her father said that the stones and sediment needed to be bought from outside, and the wood needed for the trusses and beams could be bought from the neighboring villages. Since her family is going to build a new house this time, they are ready to build a building.

At this time, the buildings are all blue bricks and tiles, and the roof will be paved with fish scale gray tiles, and a thick layer of wheat bran and straw mixed into a layer of cement will be spread underneath, which is used to walk and absorb the rainfall leaking from the tile cracks, and there will be no rain leakage at all. Most of the northern folk are such tiles

House. In the Ming Dynasty, there was still a certain system for the building, it is said that the houses of the common people were only allowed to be built with five wide rooms, four deep rooms, and only one gate house, and it was not allowed to use cornices, heavy arches, four paving, caisson wells and colorful decorations. The focus of this system is on the difference in status between the district officials and the common people. But the average civilian population is not capable of building better.

When his father called the experienced and skilled craftsmen in the village, Chunyu told them her idea and showed them the drawings.

One of the leaders, Uncle Zhang, was amazed while watching the original yard could still be built like this, and Uncle Erzhu would also have some work to build a house, he was here to help, and he praised it again and again when he saw the drawings of Chunyu.

Her parents didn't have any problem with what kind of house to build, they thought that it would be better than before, and it didn't seem too expensive. But Chunyu doesn't think so, she really can't stand this kind of living environment, and when she has some money, she will immediately tidy up the environment before talking about it.

After deciding on it, these craftsmen also roughly understood Chunyu's thoughts, so they went back and prepared to take the guys and came to Chunyu's house. Northerners don't have as many rules as southerners, and in addition to the fact that they are rural, they don't pay attention to what they have to do to find a good day before breaking ground. I just lit three sticks of incense and worshipped

The land lord started the ground and laid the foundation.

Chunyu wants to build a large courtyard like the old Beijing courtyard house, but it is a smaller and smaller version of the courtyard. It's not that building a house pays attention to sitting in the north and facing south, so build a four-entry building in the north of the courtyard, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom, and three in the second bedroom. Another building without a living room was built on the east side, and there were three bright rooms directly, two for people and one for sundries. In addition, a row of lower tiled houses was built on the south side, which were stoves, baths, thatched houses, pig houses, and chicken houses.

The stove is connected to the place where the bathroom is connected to a small stove that can burn the boiler, so that you can use hot water directly for bathing. The bathing room was paved with bluestone slabs, and the walls were plastered with white lime. Then dig a diagonal channel that can flow water, and directly connect the following rooms, and all the dirty water and filth will be made up of this one

The ditch flows into a manure pit outside the courtyard wall. The thatched house is also paved with bluestone slabs, the walls are also plastered with white lime, and there is a bucket and scoop next to it, which is clean and convenient to flush every time it is finished.

In addition, the geographical environment here is very good, and the yard is expanded to be close to the bamboo forest, leaving a narrow path in the middle leading to the small river. When the time comes, you will be able to pave it into a stone path, and you will probably be able to experience the feeling of winding paths.

began to build a house, and Chunyu's family went back to the old courtyard and crowded it. This time, the grandmother, the fourth uncle, and the two aunts of the old home came to help, and Chunyu's grandmother also asked the uncle and the second aunt to help. Some villagers who knew each other also came to help. In order to shorten the time to build a house

Short, Chunyu's family eats directly, and two meals a day are also meaty, plus Chunyu has become tricky to make some delicious and full, which also makes the craftsmen and helpers who come to work feast. Let's say that later the house was built in the middle of the middle, because the food at the eldest brother's house was good, Li Sanjun was here

I brought a family to help. But it was just an excuse to eat, and Li Sanjun also did some symbolic work, and the osmanthus with a big belly was eating candied fruit, and commanding the two daughters to wash the dishes.

As the saying goes, there is great power in many, and it is true. This was supposed to take at least half a year to build a house, but it took less than a month.

The courtyard wall is also about two meters high, like a large house. The walls are also plastered with white lime, and the blue bricks and gray tiles are very beautiful. The gatehouse is also tall and beautiful, and it is also equipped with two vermilion lacquered wooden doors. A row of small willow trees was planted in front of the door at the request of the spring rain, and the willow trees grew up and branched

It will definitely make the door more simple and elegant.

After everything was completed, several women went in to pick up the pot, and the Chunyu family chose a day to burn the bottom of the pot and moved in.

Although the furniture was not purchased very new, it was just filled with a bed and a set of tables, chairs and bookshelves for the one where Chunsheng lived. Chunyu's father and mother lived in the main house, one for Chunyu, one for Chuntao and Chunyan, and the other two were left for the guests to live.

After the house of the Chunyu family was built, the women and children were all strange and bright mansions, and the men were strange and this novel and practical structure. For a while, there was envy, jealousy, and blessing...... Later, when there were more houses in the village, they were all built according to the pattern of Chunyu's family. It also seems to be a village

The courtyards of the houses are neat and uniform, like a well-governed village. It happened that the county magistrate saw it when he came to inspect, and praised Li Zheng Ma Liuye for making Ma Liuye proud for a long time, but this is all a later story......

Osmanthus even wanted to wait for the birth to come to Chunyu's house to give birth, and said that it would be better to be confined here, but seeing that no one was willing to take care of her, she gave up.

On the night of moving in, Chunyu's whole family took a beautiful bath, and once again deeply realized the convenience and comfort of the new house.
