Chapter 40 Wine Tasting and Beauty Around the Fireplace
,
Xu Shizhen was happy at first, and then he was worried, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity, but it is also a great test, the fourteenth master has a big topic, the ambition is greater, and the rule is all over the big article, he bowed down, "Xie Fourteenth Master mentioned something, and the next official will start this matter when he goes back, and if it is not thoughtful, I hope that the fourteenth master will give advice." ”
After Xu Shizhen withdrew, Yinzhen asked people to call Wan Jiantu, this person is forty-seven years old, Han nationality, one of the twelve slaves sent by the starling brother, born in a family of architects, and the manor on the outskirts of the ninth brother Beijing is he is responsible for rebuilding, and in later generations, it is also a generation of everyone.
Wan Jiantu came quickly, and when he entered the door, he asked for a thousand invitations, Yinzhen was not polite to him, and directly took out his own planning sketch and said: "When passing by Jiangning, we stayed for four days at the site of Longjiang Bao Shipyard, you should have a lot of experience Reading Pavilion, and discuss with Jiangning's old shipwrights, the shipyard must be planned and designed in the first month of next year, this is the planning sketch of the riverside enclosure, you change it, and then bring more people to plan the vacant land with lime, and then buy materials and hire people, and first build the sheds at each construction site, At the beginning of the year, there will be a large number of people stationed, when there is no place to live is a big problem, each shed is built according to the specifications of 100 people, each site is built four or five, and then slowly increase after the year, the time is a little tight, hire more people, don't be afraid of spending money. ”
Wan Jiantu said embarrassedly: "Master, it's not a slave to push the committee, now that it has entered the lunar month, and it is approaching the end of the year, it is really difficult to hire people." ”
"Hard to hire? Add money, how much is a normal job? 50 Wen Reading Pavilion, add to 100 Wen, don't be afraid to spend money. Yinzhen said disapprerovingly, "The shed must be built early, otherwise it will be a big trouble at the beginning of the year, and this matter cannot be delayed." ”
"Yes, the master is sympathetic to the migrant workers, and the slaves have to build the shed even if they don't rest during the New Year."
After arranging the matter, Yinzhen took out the pen and paper and began to practice calligraphy, but after practicing for a long time, he couldn't calm down, put the pen aside, changed into civilian clothes and pushed the door and walked out.
This snow, the progress of the construction shed is going to slow down again, and Yinzhen is even more annoyed, but he should still be considerate, "Come on, go and inform Wan Jiantu, and the people who give work will each be given half a catty of soju every day." ”
Hai Feng, who was in the next room, heard the movement and hurriedly walked out, but he was quite excited when he saw the snowflakes in the sky, "Fourteenth Master, is there something?" ”
Yinzhen shook his head and took the umbrella handed over by Da Chun, "It's okay, I feel a little stuffy, I want to go out for a walk." ”
This big snow to go for a walk? Hai Feng faintly guessed the purpose of Yinzhen's walk, and while following quickly, he secretly laughed at this master's death to save face and suffer from it, he knew that this was the case, and he sent people to follow him with him for so many troubles?
Yinzhen held an umbrella and walked out of Liuchun Garden with great interest in the wind and snow, and only then did he go out of the garden gate, he saw a familiar carriage coming towards him, his heart beat faster, and he stared at the carriage intently. Bayi Chinese~
The carriage stopped more than a dozen steps away from him, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a familiar shadow jumped out of the car quickly, isn't it that different girl, Zhang Mengjiao got out of the car, and a pair of smart eyes turned around Yinzhen's body, and said with a smile: "The fourteenth master is really interested, this snowy day, you still have to go out?" ”
Yin Zhenlang smiled: "The girl's interest is not bad, she braves the snow to visit friends, this is a literati and elegant." ”
Hearing that Yinzhen regarded herself as a friend, Zhang Mengjiao was overjoyed, but she said, "Who said that this girl is visiting friends in the snow?" ”
"Oh, the girl was passing by." Yinzhen looked abrupt, "Then don't delay the girl's journey, don't leave it at that." "Just walk away.
"You—." Zhang Mengjiao stomped her feet, Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly, "This is the fourteenth master's way of treating friends?" ”
"Hehe, the girl turned out to be visiting friends in the snow." Yinzhen smiled and said: "That's the case, girl, please, please inside." ”
Zhang Mengjiao was smart, knowing that as soon as she entered the Liuchun Garden, she was in a guest position, passive everywhere, how could she not take advantage of this great opportunity in front of her, she rolled her eyes, and said with a smile, "On this snowy day, what does it mean to go to the house, let's go to the 'natural residence' reading pavilion outside the city, where it is elegant and quiet, and the wine is also extremely mellow, and there is a special taste of drinking and appreciating the snow by the river, I don't know if the fourteenth master is willing to condescend?" ”
"It's a great pleasure to enjoy wine and snow around the fireplace, and to be accompanied by beautiful people." Yinzhen did not hesitate and said briskly, but the hand behind his back was gesturing to Hai Feng and Da Chun, he didn't know the details of this girl at all, but the other party knew his identity, there is a way that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, it is better to be careful.
Hai Feng turned around to make arrangements, and was very curious about Zhang Mengjiao in his heart, whose girl is this, knowing the identity of the fourteenth master, she neither asked for peace nor courtesy when she met, and there was a smell of equality between her words, looking at her dress, speech and demeanor, it could not be a rural village girl who didn't know etiquette, and the fourteenth master didn't have the slightest unhappy look, I really don't understand, even if Wang Ba looked at the mung bean and met his eyes, he couldn't even ignore the basic etiquette.
As everyone knows, what Yinzhen appreciates most is Zhang Mengjiao's uninhibited and uninhibited manner, with her, he feels relaxed and comfortable, and he enjoys the casualness of this equal interaction.
"Natural Residence" is only two or three miles away from the city, the three-storey pavilion stands on the riverside to show the extraordinarily atmospheric, standing on the third floor, the view is broad, the whole Huangpu Port and Shanghai County are in full view, it is the most prestigious restaurant in Shanghai.
Not long after, Yinzhen and Zhang Mengjiao arrived at the 'natural residence', I don't know if it was because of the wind and snow or Da Chun cleared the field in advance, Nuoda's 'natural residence' was empty, not a guest was seen, and the two of them got out of the carriage, and Xiao Er greeted them attentively, "Two old guests, please come inside, the white carbon fire of Lao Wang inside is warm." ”
Zhang Mengjiao took out a silver ticket of twenty taels when she entered the room, "Shopkeeper, I have covered the third floor, and these entourages have also entertained me." ”
Before the shopkeeper could speak, Yinzhen held down the silver ticket with one hand and said with a smile: "How can there be any reason for you to break the bank, caring for women is the demeanor that men should have." As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels, "Shopkeeper, let's go around today, it's all inclusive, and the rest is hush money, I want to hear half a gossip, be careful that the master demolishes your broken building." ”
The guest officer breathed a big sigh, the shopkeeper was startled, glanced at the guards who followed up, and the stomach full of resentment turned into nothing, and his face was instantly full of smiles, "Guest officer, rest assured, our 'natural residence' rules are the strictest." Taking the silver ticket, he glanced at it, and saw that it was a hundred taels of tickets, so he hurriedly bowed down, "Thank you for the reward, please upstairs." Straightening up, he ordered the men to do things in a row, and personally sent the two up to the third floor.
Seeing Yinzhen so careful, Zhang Mengjiao's heart was sweet, although she was free and easy, she also cared about reputation, after sitting down, after the maid poured the wine, she waved her hand to drive the maid out, and then picked up the wine glass, "Xie Fourteen Ye cares, Mengjiao respects you a glass." He drank it all down.
