Chapter 263: Cultivation Hall
But it's just a ready-made house to repair and repair, at least it won't leak wind, nor rain, the tables and chairs inside are all big guys, you make up one, I make up one, and put it together.
When Si Si sent Jixiang to the school, he took a look, the uneven table, it was a little difficult to write on it, and the chairs were tall and short, which was not decent.
Ji Xiang said: "And this renovation of the school, there is no need for our village to pay, I heard that it was built by a Fu Yin who returned to his hometown, and he heard that there are ready-made houses in our village, so he chose our village." ”
"What does that have to do with you coming back late?" Sisi asked.
"Sir was worried that everyone in the village might mistakenly think that they would be dissatisfied with the renovation of the school, so he left us to explain it to the adults in the family."
"As for those families who didn't send their children to school, Mr. also asked someone to talk about it in the village."
Well, this gentleman is quite thoughtful.
"Then when will this school be rebuilt?" Sisi asked.
"It should be soon, our husband said, it is estimated that the adult will come to our village in two days to see the situation."
"Let's eat, talk while we eat." Lu Yan laid out the meals and said.
……
The next day, the village chief announced that Tianshui Village was going to rebuild the school in the village.
I heard that a big official was coming, and Sweet Water Village was lively.
"What kind of official is this Mansion Yin?"
"It's quite big, it's said to be bigger than the county lord."
"But why did he choose our Sweetwater Village to open the school?"
"We have a ready-made place, and this is next to several villages next door, after the construction, the children of Mingshui Village, Ningshui Village, and Anshui Village next door can come to our school, and there is no need to go to the town to study."
“……”
On the day that Lao Fu Yin was coming, Sweetwater Village was more lively than ever.
The village chief summoned all the villagers to greet them at the entrance of the village, some were responsible for beating gongs and drums, some were responsible for lion dances, and even firecrackers were put on display, saying that as soon as they saw Lao Fu Yin's sedan chair, they immediately lit firecrackers.
Si Si was also among them, she felt that the situation was as lively as when Master Qi held his birthday in Changshui Village, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when she lived in Changshui Village.
In a flash, so many years have passed!
I haven't seen such a lively village for a long time, Si Si is also excited, and he is watching the excitement in the crowd, but fortunately, Lu Yan has been holding her hand tightly and protecting her side, so she has not been bumped into it.
After waiting for a long time, a group of people finally came from the other side of the road, but not by sedan chair, but by horse.
The sharp-eyed villager said, "Hey, isn't that the squire Wu in the town?" ”
"Yes, where's Lao Fu Yin?"
"Will it be behind? What about the squire opening the way? "Every day
The villagers waited again, they had never seen an official in their lives, and now they finally came to a mansion, how could they miss it, Aunt Zhao said that seeing a big official can ward off evil spirits.
As a result, after Squire Wu arrived, he told the villagers: "Lao Fu Yin is not in good health, and I will manage the construction of a school in your village." ”
When the villagers heard this, they were all disappointed, shaking their heads one by one, and expressing their dissatisfaction:
"What about the big official?"
"Why aren't you coming again?"
"Shiro waited an hour."
"......" the villagers are about to disperse.
Squire Wu looked at everyone's appearance, and was a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you welcome me at all?" ”
Only then did the villagers react, although Squire Wu was not a big official, he was also a big man in the neighborhood, and they couldn't ignore them just because Lao Fu Yin didn't come.
So the villagers all pretended to be elated, but they shouted expressionlessly: "Welcome Squire Wu!" "Welcome to Squire Wu!" ”
……
Squire Wu is in his forties, with a fat head and a round belly, and he is particularly conspicuous in a group of thin villagers.
He came this time mainly to discuss with the village chief about renovating the school, so he discussed with the village chief as he walked.
Squire Wu asked, "I asked you to clean the original school first that day, did you clean it?" ”
"Of course, the weeds and everything are cleaned, I'll take you there," the village chief attached great importance to this matter, and he also thought that Lao Fu Yin would come in person, so he arranged for someone to clean it carefully the day before.
The old school was not far from the barnyard, and it was a short walk away.
The weeds around were pulled out, the dense moss and vines on the walls were brushed clean, and the house was swept inside and out, and it looked very clean.
Squire Wu looked at it, frowned and shook his head: "Your place is too simple, since it was rebuilt by Lao Fu Yin, it must be built on a large scale, highlighting the grandeur of Lao Fu Yin, at least it must be built like the school in the town." You renovate all these walls, replace all the tiles, and build two more rooms in the backyard for Mr. Jiaoshu to live in, you don't have to worry about the silver, the money funded by the old mansion Yin is all here, you can settle the account, and go back to me to ask for the account. ”
"Okay, I must follow the squire's instructions," the village chief smiled respectfully: "Actually, after I received the task, I found all the craftsmen, and there are very capable masons in our village, Da Zhuang, come here, let Squire Wu take a look at you." ”
The village chief turned around and went to find Da Zhuang.
In the crowd, Da Zhuang came out with a twist for a while.
Squire Wu knew that the countrymen were like this, and he was afraid of people, so he didn't talk much, but only asked, "Da Zhuang, right?" According to the plan I just mentioned, you can estimate the price, and I won't let you do it in vain. ”
"Renovate the walls...... and again the tiles, and two more houses, and thirty taels of silver. Uncle Da Zhuang stood in front of the squire and looked very restrained, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence, and he always hid behind.
"Squire Wu, Da Zhuang is an honest man, haha," the village chief explained to the squire with a smile, but when he turned his eyes, he glared at Da Zhuang: "What are you afraid of, you are not a big official, you can't eat it!" ”
Da Zhuang is also aggrieved, obviously the village chief said it the day before, if this thing is not done well, he will be killed, otherwise he would not be able to say a word.
The squire pondered again, then looked at the desks inside and said, "All the desks and chairs should be new." Is there a carpenter in your village? ”
"This ...... I didn't think of this step, I thought that I would repair the house first and then think about the desk," the village chief said while thinking, there are a few carpenters in the village, but they are all half-baked level, it is okay to repair the corner of the desk, and I don't know if it is okay to make a desk.
