Xin'er was frightened by Mu Hanqing's question, and the hairs on her body stood up. She turned around slowly and put on a smile: "No, it's nothing." I see that Master Mu's face is too handsome and extraordinary, and I want to hook a face for a while. ”

For this reason, the wind fools who live on the corner of the street don't believe it.

As soon as Mu Hanqing's hand was forced, Xin'er was pulled to his side, and the two stood together, looking at each other, only one egg apart. Mu Hanqing didn't plan to let go of Xin'er who was making trouble today, and he clenched his teeth and opened his mouth again: "What did you draw?" To say or not to say? ”

Xin'er has grown so big, and she has never been so close to a young man from a foreign family, her heart is beating so much that she is about to faint, where do you know how to answer? When her vision was blurred, Xin'er saw the two beards open and close and come together. She came to her senses all at once.

"Master Mu, you have made a great contribution this time, we have a way to make only one set of hot samples!" Xin'er turned her fear into joy, but Mu Hanqing was even more confused when she said it.

Mu Hanqing's hand was a little less powerful, but his tone was still tough: "You draw something on my face, what does it have to do with the hot sample?" ”

Xin'er broke free, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Mu Hanqing: "Master Mu, put this on your face and cover your mouth, let's call the head of the house, hurry up and go to the corner hall to find Lord Wei." ”

Although Mu Hanqing was angry in his heart, he couldn't delay the business. When he saw Xin'er saying that she was going to see Lord Wei, he thought that this girl would not dare to make a mistake, so he did what she said. Along the way, a few palace maids from the inner prison who came to pass the word talked about Mu Hanqing's appearance, and he could only stare at Xin'er who was walking in front, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

Lord Wei was in the corner hall at a loss for the previous perm, and his gray hair was a little more than a few days ago. Seeing Mu Hanqing like this at this time, he thought that the three young principals were going to be naughty again, and said: "The blue sky is white, what are you doing with your face covered by Master Mu?" ”

Mu Hanqing ripped off the handkerchief and said hurriedly: "Lord Wei, the soil master said that the pattern on my face can solve the problem of hot samples." ”

Lord Wei looked at Mu Hanqing's face, was so amused that he almost lost his temper, and sat on the desk with a smile. He pointed at Mu Hanqing, and asked a decent sentence: "What does this full beard have to do with perm?" Tell me about it. ”

Xin'er was not polite, she walked to Lord Wei's side and let Master Wei come to Mu Hanqing: "Lord Wei, please take a closer look." ”

The upper and lower beards drawn by Xin'er are connected together. This Lord Wei only saw one opening and one closing, and didn't see anything else. Master Wei turned his head to look at Xin'er and shook his head. Xin'er was in a hurry, and opened Mu Hanqing's mouth a little with her hand: "Lord Wei, look, if you combine it, it will be one, and if it is divided, it will be two." If we can make the hot roof into something that can be removed, then we only need a set of hot samples. ”

Xin'er was afraid that Master Wei didn't understand, so she asked Mu Hanqing to quickly open and close her lips a few times. Now Lord Wei understood it, and praised it: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Landlord, you are more ingenious than your father! This is made into a roof that can be removed, and the mortise and tenon joint does not need to be made again, and it can be enlarged according to the hot sample. I've already prepared it, and I'll send it to the back hall for you tomorrow, so I'll make it quickly. ”

When Mu Hanqing heard this, most of her anger towards Xin'er disappeared.

Lord Wei saw that Mu Hanqing, who was full of "beard", was still standing there, so he walked over and took Mu Hanqing's hand: "Master Mu, go to the back and get soap to wash your face, you look like this, how can it be good for Qingyan to see it?" ”

Hearing the name of the light words, Mu Hanqing was a little cramped, and went to the back.

Wu Mingzhe was still in the clouds, but the two of them and Lord Wei both thought it was good, and they thought that this matter must be excellent, so he didn't say much.

Lord Wei asked the three principals to hurry back to their respective homes, in order to nourish their spirits, and make every effort to make the hot sample of the hall tomorrow.

At night, Mu Hanqing went to the study to ask Master Mu for a few sample drawings of the hall, wanting to study one or two more. Master Mu has been busy entertaining distant relatives for many days, and he has not taken care of Mu Hanqing's official affairs. After he showed his son the picture, he asked Mu Hanqing to sit down so that he could ask him about the recent situation in the past few days.

"Qing'er, you've been in this position for some time, how do you get along with the house boy and the Tujia girl? Didn't cause any trouble, did you? ”

Mu Hanqing took a sip of water and opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Father, the child is fine." The owner of the house is honest and honest, and he didn't trouble me. The Tujia girl is a capable person, and today she also came up with a way to change the hot sample of the hall into a detachable roof, which saved half of the construction period. When Mu Hanqing said this, her lips unconsciously opened slightly, and her eyes lit up.

Seeing his son like this, Master Mu was a little flustered, so he couldn't help but ask more: "It seems that you seem to appreciate the Tujia girl?" Have you forgotten what I taught you? ”

Mu Hanqing saw that his father's face was wrong, smiled, and arched his hands: "Father, the child dare not forget." You told the child not to get too close to the Tujia girl, so as not to get into trouble, and the child has never dared to get close to her. At noon today, the child also grabbed a plate of bamboo shoots with the landlord, and the landlord thought that I had a personal enmity with the Tujia girl. ”

When the old master Mu heard this, he stroked his beard and put his mind at ease: "Okay, remember, the old master of the Tujia family caused a murderous disaster, which has a lot to do with the "Pastoral Garden" handed down by the ancestor. In that book, there are not only methods for gardening, but also some secrets of Lu's construction of military fortifications. Remember not to get close to the Tujia, it is best to live in peace. ”

Mu Hanqing nodded and pressed back the words of appreciation for Xin'er. Exited the study with the drawings.

When Wu Mingzhe returned home, he was counted down by his father as usual, and the old house owner complained that he had been complaining for so long, and he hadn't gotten a little information from the Tujia girl's mouth. In the matter of hot sample transformation, Wu Mingzhe did not make any effort to seize the work. The owner of the old house shouted five times in a row, "God don't bless me!" But he had to continue to eat at the same table with his son.

The next day, Xin'er came to the back hall early, and saw that all kinds of materials were stacked on the ground, and there were a few discarded hot samples that could be disassembled and used, Xin'er was very happy. She unfolded the façade of the hall that she had painted overnight, and sat down and waited for the two to come and discuss.

When Mu Hanqing came, he also held a painted façade in his hand. Wu Mingzhe was empty-handed, and he could only refer to the drawings of the two of them.

Xin'er painted a five-room-wide single-eaves palace-style hall with warped feet outside. And Mu Hanqing's is a five-room-wide heavy eaves palace-style hall, which is far stronger than Xin'er's pattern in terms of momentum.

Wu Mingzhe looked at the pattern, and supported Mu Hanqing with one mind: "Brother Mu's hall with heavy eaves is full of momentum, let's do this, okay?" ”

Mu Hanqing was happy to see Wu Mingzhe like this, and nodded again and again.

Xin'er heard that they didn't want to choose their own patterns, and suddenly stood up: "No, you two must listen to me, we can only do single eaves, not heavy eaves." Otherwise, something will go wrong. ”

Mu Hanqing shook the pattern, a little puzzled: "What can be the problem?" You can remove a heavy eaves on these hot samples, so why bother to make a single eaves? ”

"The last time there was a thunderstorm, the main hall was burned, all because the heavy eaves were too high, and the few tall trees next to it that were lower than the main hall were unharmed. If we make a single-eaves type this time, we can avoid the thunder of the height of the house, and those tall trees can divide the heavenly fire. ”

When the two of them heard it, it made sense. And Xin'er changed her feet to a higher level, which is not a violation, so she agreed to use Xin'er's sample drawing.

The three of them decided on one out of a hundred, and began to nest in the back hall every day, busy making the hot sample. Wu Mingzhe wanted to be lazy several times, and hastily brought the drawings in the room, and he also wanted to deal with the tables, chairs and stools roughly, but he was stopped by Xin'er and Mu Hanqing.

Wu Mingzhe was forced to have no choice, so he raised his hands in front of the two: "Look at my round fingers, how can they be as fine as the two of you?" ”

Xin'er looked at his hand carefully, his fingers were round, and his palms were fleshy, indeed not as slender and dexterous as Mu Hanqing, so he was too delicate, and it was a little embarrassing, so he asked Wu Mingzhe to do the roof, and those exquisite interiors didn't have to be done by him.

Within a few days of such a day, there was a problem with the craftsmen, and since there was no one to organize, they had a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. The son did not know the essentials, and the work in the garden was pulled down a lot. The three principals discussed, and every day one person came out, organized everyone to clear the river, replant flowers and trees, and the other two continued to make hot samples.

On this day, it was Ya Mingzhe's turn to keep an eye on the craftsman. After noon, Xin'er and Mu Hanqing were busy making utensils for the warm pavilion in the apse. These two are very skilled and careful, and even a small porcelain vase on the Bogu shelf is meticulously done. Jade pillows, bed quilts and other things are readily available.

Just as Xin'er was busy looking for the lines on the drum bench, it suddenly became noisy outside.

Mu Hanqing and Xin'er got up together, wanting to go out to have a look, when a bamboo rat hiding in the river mud suddenly rushed into the back hall.

Xin'er saw the scurrying bamboo rat, and her face turned pale with fright. I didn't care about the past grievances with Mu Hanqing, I screamed, my arms were clasped, my legs were curled, and I hung on Mu Hanqing, and my mouth was still trembling and shouting: "Mouse, mouse, hit it, hit it!" ”

It's strange to say, Xin'er was born not afraid of heaven and earth, in the past, there was a half-sized child in the East Market who wanted to bully the market, she dared to beat someone with a black eye, but she couldn't see all kinds of mice. Whether it's in the sky, underground, or in the water, as long as the little eyes of that thing are open and run up and down twice, Xin'er must grab the nearest person and hang it on someone else to feel that she has saved her life.

Fortunately, I have encountered rats a few times before, either in a secluded place or in the small courtyard of the Hong family, and Xin'er has only hugged her father and Tuhong, so this weakness has not been violent. Lu, otherwise her reputation as the "Little Overlord of the East City" would have been lost a long time ago.

Mu Hanqing was hung by Xin'er, and he couldn't fight bamboo rats, and it was too unrighteous to drive Xin'er down, so he had to alienate Xin'er when the rats were not there, right? The two of them ran out of ideas for a while. Xin'er closed her eyes even more, and stuck to Mu Hanqing's body like a lost soul.

Mu Hanqing only felt that his body was hairy. hot, some unknown feelings gradually surged in my heart. He raised the hand that could still move, and unconsciously wanted to pat Xin'er and comfort her.

This scene happened to be bumped into by Wu Mingzhe, who was holding a bamboo pole and came to fight bamboo rats, and immediately he stayed in place and looked at the two in a daze. Fortunately, Mu Hanqing was sober, and he called out to the house: "The owner of the house, help fight the rats, quickly!" ”

Wu Mingzhe knocked away the rats in two or two, and as soon as the wood was thrown, he dragged Mu Hanqing aside: "Didn't you say that you have nothing to do with the soil master?" What was that? ”
