Li Si looked at Shen Yanshao's eyes full of pity.

If it was in the past, he always felt that his grandfather was omnipotent, even if he 'wandered' to Qingguo Village, it was his grandfather's deliberate cooperation.

He was familiar with the road and didn't know how many times he had dodged the means of the one in the capital, but he didn't want to, and he was planted in the hands of a girl Zhong without paying attention.

I think back then, my grandfather was one of the best among the nobles in the capital, who didn't want to have anything to do with him? This changed the place, and the situation was reversed, it was my own father who chased other girls, and other girls didn't pay much attention to them.

Shen Yanshao was also very lonely, when did he think that he would fall into this field?

He looked at Li Si's face for a long time, and still couldn't figure out what the problem was.

In terms of face, he made Li Si even more delicate and good-looking; In terms of stature, he is even taller than Li Si, and in terms of power, he is the eldest son of Marquis Pingrong.

It's almost about what you want.

Obviously, the various conditions that are very advantageous in the eyes of others have no appearance at all in front of Zhong Miao.

Li Si saw that his father seemed very melancholy, and he didn't dare to say more. For the sake of his salary, he was very enthusiastic to discuss the next plan with his grandfather.

The master and servant plan to do it on Zhong Miao's birthday, that is, on the eighth day of the eighth month of August.

That day happened to be Zhong Miao's fifteenth birthday, that is, it was about to be time, even if it was placed in the farmhouse, it was also a very important thing.

At that time, Zhong Miaoding will definitely let down his guard and have a better chance of success.

Thinking like this, Shen Yanshao was also very attentive to Zhong Miao's Jilu, and changed her ways to talk to her, trying to give her beloved girl something she liked on her birthday, so as to make her happier.

Li Si also contributed a lot to this, brushed his face in front of Wang Baolian, and asked a lot of things that Zhong Miao might like.

Zhong Miao didn't know anything about what the master and servant were doing in private.

Everything was as usual for her, even if she often went to Shen Yanshao to discuss business matters, she didn't notice it at all.

"Xiaohai sent a letter, saying that he had been to several towns near the sea, and found cauliflower in Laoshan Town. He was overjoyed and found that the cauliflower was still growing well, and he could use Laoshan Town as a base to build a large gypsum factory. ”

Although Shen Yanshao was troubled by some indescribable things, he immediately returned to his place when he talked about business.

"That's a good thing, it's a great thing, and it's what we expect to use directly from the local materials."

He took the letter handed over by Zhong Miao and asked by the way, "What else did he say?" ”

"He said that because there is cauliflower in Laoshan Town, he estimates that he will have to stay there for a while, as long as half a year, or three months, and he wants to come back after the cauliflower and gypsum factories are completed and implemented."

Shen Yanshao hurriedly read Xiaohai's letter, and his face showed two points of regret.

"Your birthday is still six days away, so I'm afraid Xiaohai won't be able to come back to participate."

He originally thought that if Xiao Hai came back, he would have to say hello and let him help him on such an important festival by the way.

After all, he is the person he brought out, and he should want to see him marry Zhong Miao home sooner.

Zhong Miao snorted, naturally she didn't find the little Jiujiu in Shen Yanshao's heart.

She took a sip of her tea and smiled when she put it down again.

"When I just went out, I went to Lanhe Street, and the house was built quite quickly, and it was only half a month before and after, and the frame inside had been erected."

The house Zhong Miao said was that he had listened to Shen Yanshao's suggestion before, so he bought a piece of land and built a large yard.

Now their focus of business has shifted to Jialuo Village, because they have to consider whether the supply and shipment are convenient, and Wen Yuan Wenjing is all studying in the town. After discussing it, the family decided to buy a suitable plot of land in the town and build their own house.

In this way, if Wen Yuan Wenjing doesn't want to stay in the academy, he can go home every day. Not only does it not delay schooling, but it can also eat the dishes cooked by the family, which is the best of both worlds.

At first, Zhong Miao said that she wanted to go to see the land, but Shen Yanshao saw that she was too busy to be busy, so she took the matter in.

He moved quickly, and perhaps there was an element of luck in it, and there happened to be a lot of land for sale in the town. Shen Yanshao looked at the location of the location, not only by the mountains and rivers, but also not far from the downtown area, which is a very ideal place.

It's just that the price is too expensive.

It just so happened that the owner of the land was an old acquaintance with Huzhi County, and Huzhi County took the line, and the land was quickly taken down.

Both parties are very happy, handing over the money with one hand and the title deed with the other.

After another three days, Shen Yanshao gathered twenty or thirty people, and the land began to be built.

The sketch used by Zhong Miao, Shen Yanshao didn't say anything after reading it, just circled it to make the sketch look more complete and complete, and then handed it over to the master who made the workman.

The sketch Zhong Miao handed over was a large mansion, round inside and outside, much more careful and meticulous than any previous sketch.

Because the land is large and the house is also large, Zhong Miao's plan is to make the family still feel comfortable living in. Thinking that in the future, I would have to invite a few maids-in-law, and set aside two places to build male and female wings respectively.

All that is taken into account, there is still a lot of room left. Zhong Miao asked the master to dig a lake in a larger place to build a pavilion, or plant a plum garden chrysanthemum garden or something.

In addition, rockery fountains are naturally indispensable.

After all, once this mansion is built, it will be lived in for a lifetime.

I can't guarantee that my children and grandchildren will live in the future.

After painting these landscapes, he told the master to get a flower garden or some evergreens into it from time to time.

All in all, everything is done to a high standard.

Several masters have seen the world, and they know that some people pay attention to living comfortably and comfortably, and they don't mind spending a lot of money, so they should give it all at the moment.

When Zhong Miao, Shen Yanshao and the master sat and talked about how the house was built, Mrs. Jiang sat on the side and listened.

After the master left, she frowned and said to them: "With such a big yard, everything has to be according to the best, how much does it cost?" Don't you have to just a few hundred taels? Isn't this a waste? ”

"Although our gypsum and oil mills are making money now, we can't spend money like this!"

Mrs. Jiang has worked hard for most of her life, and she is used to living a poor life, and she feels distressed when she thinks that such a large yard will cost hundreds of taels.

How could she have thought that she would be able to touch a lot of money before?

If the family can earn a few hundred taels in a lifetime, she will wake up with a smile in her dreams. And now, they have the money, but the two young people in front of them are going to use it to build a big mansion.

"Why don't we save some? In case of an emergency, what can we do if we can't come up with the money? You see, our business is getting bigger now, and it is inevitable that there will be times when we need money urgently, and these few hundred taels may be able to save lives! ”
