Chapter Seventy-Two: Function
Ling Shengyi walked into the bathroom.
There was a huge wooden barrel inside, and there was something like a lotus pod on it.
He looked at it for a long time, but he still couldn't see what this thing was for.
There is an orchid-like wood carving next to it. He pressed the wood carving, and a lot of water poured down from it.
There is a wooden stopper inside the barrel, and as long as it is plugged there, the water will be retained. If you pull it out, you can put the water out.
"It's kind of interesting."
He walked out of the bathroom and went back to the study.
There are no bookshelves in the study, all the shelves are wall-mounted. He also set up mechanisms outside those shelves, and as long as he pressed the mechanism, the wooden door of the bookshelf in front of him could be opened, and all the books could be seen at a glance, and he could choose any books he wanted.
The stove in the kitchen is not an ordinary stove either. Although he doesn't cook, he can also see that ordinary stoves are not like this. The space here is huge, and there are many shelves for vegetables and meat, almost the same design concept as the bookshelves, which are embedded in the walls.
Then there's the wardrobe. The wardrobe in the wall has large and small squares, which are convenient for placing all kinds of things.
"It's ......"
Old man Zheng just came out of it and said with a smile: "This is a thatched house. ”
Ling Shengyi raised his eyebrows, looking at the space in front of him, which was not small, with an elegant design, and he couldn't tell that it was a thatched room at all.
"After using it, you can just put the water to clean it. Put some sachets and the like in it, not only does it not smell, but it is also very fragrant. ”
"This Chu girl ......"
"Miss Chu is such a smart girl. I can't imagine how she could have come up with so many wonderful ideas. ”
"Behind is the servant's room, is there anything else?"
"The servant's room is made of two beds. This saves space for servants to put things. ”
"Oh! I'll take a look. ”
Chu Yuqin walked into the courtyard of the Ling family next door with the rice basket.
"Trouble. The new house is too big, don't know where they are now, where to find someone? ”
"Miss Chu, we're here."
Old man Zheng walked over from the opposite side.
When Chu Yuqin saw them, he lifted the basket in his hand.
"If you don't come out, I'm afraid that by the time I find you, the food will be cold."
Ling Shengyi smiled lightly: "Miss Chu really gave me a surprise. ”
"Do you mean the layout of the house? I made these changes without your consent, and I don't know if you will be inconvenienced. ”
"If I said it was inconvenient, would you redesign the house?"
Chu Yuqin didn't care about such a 'pick', and nodded very seriously: "Yes." I can ask Master Wang to come back and do it again. ”
"No need. I am very grateful to Miss Chu for giving me a lot of knowledge. Such a design is good and very convenient to use. I will make it much easier in the future. ”
"Have you seen the class?"
"Not yet. Why is there a separate class inside? ”
"Of course. It's not far from here, after all, you can't arrange it too far away to make it easy for your students to get in and out. ”
"Miss Chu......"
After watching the class, Ling Shengyi stopped her.
Chu Yuqin was puzzled: "Is there something wrong with Master Ling?" ”
"That's right. I found Miss Chu to be very talented in painting. Can you give a drawing lesson to the students? ”
"Me? Master Ling, did you misunderstand something? I don't seem to have drawn in front of you. ”
Chu Yuqin looked sideways at him.
"Blueprints."
Flutter! Chu Yuqin smiled.
"What does that mean?"
"It represents that Miss Chu is very talented in painting."
"Won't Master Ling?"
"It's not that I can't, but I want to see another way of painting Miss Chu."
Chu Yuqin thought back to his design drawings.
She drew it with charcoal strips, and it did look a little different from what she drew with a brush. But for ordinary people, she should only be lazy, and she won't think that she knows another way to draw. This man is sharp-eyed, and he has noticed such a subtle place.
"Maybe I'm going to disappoint Master Ling, I'm really not good at this."
In fact, her painting skills are still good.
It's just that there's no need to show everything, right?
These things will not affect her development.
"Miss Chu is so modest, it seems that I have no eyes."
Woohoo! Woohoo!
From the side door, the doorway where the Ling family and the Chu family were connected, came the sound of a dog barking.
Chu Yuqin, who was pouring flower seedlings in the yard, looked up.
Chu Lihong was holding four puppies in his arms.
The puppy's voice is not powerful enough, and the sound it makes is milky and cute.
"That's what you call the big dog?"
"It's still a big dog's cub."
Chu Lihong put the little milk dog down.
"Just a few days after birth, as long as you raise it for a few days, you will die for us."
"Then I'll take care of you."
Chu Yuqin continued to water the delicate flowers in front of him.
"Take care of your little milk dog, if you dare to step on my flowers, kill the stewed dog meat and eat it."
"Sister, isn't this the dog you want?"
Chu Lihong was aggrieved.
"It's the dog I want, but can't I leave it to you to take care of it? Everyone in our family has a task. You should be the most relaxed person, right? ”
"Okay, I don't have anything to say."
Chu Lihong picked up the little milk dog again.
"I'm going to get them a kennel first. Just a few days after birth, it won't survive on its own. What's more, they have changed to a new environment, and I have to comfort them recently. Sister, there is a ewe in Uncle Wang's house in the village, and she has recently been milked, why don't you buy it and give it to the puppies to drink? ”
"Don't you have silver?"
Chu Yuqin glanced up at him.
"Sister, my own sister, didn't you say it was pocket money? Buying sheep is a big deal, and it's for the sake of the whole family. The dog is not my alone, and the goat's milk is not only drunk by the dog, let's also drink it, this has to go to the public account! ”
"Not bad! Now I actually know the word public account. It seems that you Master Ling not only taught you the Four Books and the Five Classics, but also taught you arithmetic! ”
"Of course, our Master Ling is very interested."
"So what has Master Ling's understanding of the recent study of agriculture have been at stakes?"
Chu Lihong hugged the puppy and walked inside.
"I'll feed the puppies, and then I'll go to Uncle Wang to buy sheep."
The most beneficial thing in the village recently is not Chu Yuqin's old sesame rotten millet, but Ling Shengyi's farming with the old farmer in the village.
A dignified scholar, rolling his trouser legs down into the field all day long, tossing in the fields. The others wore old patched clothes, and he went to the ground in silk and satin.
The young girls stopped working and spent the whole day wandering around the fields. The most discussed thing in the whole village was how much production Ling Fuzi's land could have. There are even people who have made bets on such a thing.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
Ling Shengyi, who was covered in mud, walked into the yard.
He could be seen through the corner door.
Chu Yuqin just raised his head, and when he saw his figure, he stopped him: "Master Ling......"
