028 Design Fee
The people in the courtyard were busy working, and Hua Fei pulled Xiao Zhan all the way forward, and finally stopped in front of a cave under the rockery.
"From here, you can walk through to the pool, where there is a small open space with a big tree next to it, and a table, chairs and fruit plates are set up, and the best place is to cool off in the summer."
"Oh."
"Look at the plants on this rockery, I specially selected and matched, is it good?"
"Beautiful."
"You can see the pool, come here! In the middle of the pond is a gazebo that can be passed by another road, but there is also a place to pass here, and it is these large jagged rocks, just step on them and jump over them. β
"Hmm."
One chattered, and the other responded indifferently.
When she arrived at the edge of the pool, Hua Fei let go of Xiao Zhan's hand and jumped onto the big rock.
Here is some distance from the gazebo, and the big stone is not a straight line, the line turns a corner.
When we got to the middle, the stone that came out disappeared and was replaced by a lotus leaf.
"Don't jump forward, be careful of falling."
Unless the light work is excellent, it is difficult to step on the lotus leaf like this.
Hua Fei looked at him and laughed, and said, "You have been deceived, hahaha, these are also stones, but they were made into lotus leaves by me, Xiao Zhan, I didn't expect you to be able to see it." β
The wanton smile was particularly dazzling in the sun, and Xiao Zhan looked at her quietly, with thousands of stars in his eyes.
He chuckled, "I did get lied to. β
The sound was very small, and Hua Fei didn't hear it.
She jumped quickly, stepped on the lotus leaf-like stones, and finally landed in the gazebo.
"Come here! Here are the refreshments! She waved her arm at Xiao Zhan, almost shouting because of the distance.
Xiao Zhan nodded in agreement, but did not take the big stone road, but left the rockery and walked over another bridge.
Seeing him coming, Hua Fei's face was very proud, and she raised her head and said, "How is it?" The garden I designed is not bad, right? β
Xiao Zhan smiled lightly: "Not bad." β
After a pause, he added: "But so what?" β
Hua Fei's eyes bent, this is what she was waiting for!
She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake on the table and said while eating: "As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, first respect Luo Shang and then respect people, the connotation is often not seen at a glance, first of all, you have to look at the appearance." β
Xiao Zhan looked down at her with interest: "Oh? β
"You said that although you are a prince of Zhenguo, although you are famous, if the guests come to the mansion and see that the mansion is so shabby, they will definitely despise it in their hearts, right? will feel that this town prince is just an empty title, so he is not willing to make friends with you. Therefore, sometimes you have to whitewash it a little, so that others will not think you are poor and sour, and they will be willing to associate with you. β
"But I don't need to make friends with others, and I rarely have guests in my house." Xiao Zhan said leisurely.
"Tut-tut, it seems that you still don't realize the importance of filling the scene, do you know why you don't have friends? Why don't people come to the house? I just think you're too shabby! Everyone is an official, who doesn't want to save face? If you don't know, you think the Zhenguo Mansion is bankrupt! β
The smile on Xiao Zhan's face was even worse: "Having said so much, what do you want to say?" β
Hua Fei smiled, put down the snack in her hand, leaned in front of him and said, "I'll help you design the courtyard, how about you pay me for the design fee?" β
Seeing Xiao Zhan raise her eyebrows and turn around, she was in a hurry and turned to him again.
"If nothing else, the living room in the house has to be done, okay? That's the faΓ§ade of the Zhenguo Mansion! Entering the door is a straight bluestone road, lined with square bluestone walls, anyone who sees it will feel uncomfortable. Get the entrance piece right, even if the back is ugly. β
Xiao Zhanqiang held back the smile on his face and looked unmoved: "But I never invite people to the mansion as guests." β
"Oh, you can ask for it in the future, make one more friend and one more way, right?"
"I won't ask for it in the future."
"I said, why are you so stubborn! The Zhenguo Mansion is not so poor that it can't be opened, so what's wrong with the environment in the mansion? What's wrong?! β
"Do you know why the Zhenguo Mansion is like this?" Xiao Zhan looked into the distance, and his gaze suddenly fell on Hua Fei's body.
Hua Fei was a little stunned by his question.
Why is this the case? She really didn't know.
It stands to reason that with the status of Zhenguo Gong, the mansion will definitely not be built like this, and even Hua Sheng, who has just become a general for a year, has made the mansion beautiful.
And listening to Zhizhi's tone, Hua Sheng has been fighting at the border all these years, and finally rose to this position step by step, and the economy in his hands is not rich.
Compared to the Zhenguo Mansion, that is the difference between the village and the city.
Could it be that Qingzhi's news is also wrong?
Thinking of this, Hua Fei said with a constipated face: "You won't really be bankrupt, right?" β
"What does it mean to be bankrupt?" He wanted to ask just now.
"Literally, it means that your family's property has shrunk seriously and may even be gone."
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows: "That's not it." β
"Oh, that's good." After a pause, he raised his head: "Then why is the Zhenguo Mansion like this?" β
"Want to know?"
Hua Fei blinked her big eyes and nodded again and again: "Mm-hmm." β
"No comment."
Then he turned to leave, still with a smile on his face.
Hua Fei felt like she was going to be blown up.
"Xiao Zhan, you bastard! Stop! β
She had worked so hard to get him over, she couldn't just leave.
The point is that he actually changed her topic and let her go along his train of thought, which is a great shame for the designer.
When negotiating with the client, the top designer takes the initiative to guide the client's thoughts, so that the client feels that her plan is the best and most suitable, and everything else is a floating cloud.
Ordinary designers follow the customer's ideas, so that sometimes the customer is not satisfied after changing countless versions, and finally chooses the first version.
She thought she was experienced enough, but she was still taken into the ditch by Xiao Zhan.
Outrageous!
Hua Fei thought that Xiao Zhan would go faster under her intimidation, and her pace unconsciously sped up a lot.
Unexpectedly, he actually stopped, and turned around.
With a thud, she slammed into his chest without incident.
"Why didn't you leave all of a sudden?!"
Xiao Zhan lowered his head: "Didn't you tell me to stop?" β
Hua Fei: ......
She looked up and glared at him indignantly, her gums creaking.
Just wanted to have a seizure, but saw Xiao Zhan raise his head and said leisurely: "It's not impossible for you to design the front hall of the mansion, it's just ......"
Hua Fei immediately changed to a flattering expression, blinked her eyes and said, "Just what?" β
"I have to experience it first, and experience whether the courtyard you designed is as good as you say."
Hua Fei was stunned, experience? How to experience it?
