Chapter Forty-Eight: Foothold

It's May, and the air is starting to fill with the sweltering heat.

The foundation of the Gu family's new house has not yet been laid, and all kinds of building materials are piled up in the wilderness, but the entire construction site is full of cars and horses, and it is very lively. The hired masons and the homeless people who came to eat were all in good spirits, and even the scorching summer heat could not discourage them from working.

It is really that the conditions given by the Gu family are too good, attracting too many craftsmen and coolies who want to beg for food.

Completed within the winter construction period, pay six hundred taels of silver, one cent, to the head, maybe each person can get one or twenty taels, more than five times higher than other people's homes, and every day the white rice tube is enough, there are big fish and meat in the dishes, there is no meal to eat the big guy's mouth full of oil, there is herbal tea in the afternoon during the day, in this era of pipe mouth rice, can pull countless laborers, they do this, so that the masons, absolutely embarrassed not to work hard.

There is only one thing - there are too many requirements, and I am afraid that people with ordinary craftsmanship in this house will not be able to build it.

Lao Du is also forty and six this year, dry mason for 30 years, countless mansions under his hands, can be designed like this master's house, to the first time to see, this house design, not as luxurious as most mansions, but very particular about the details, exquisite everywhere, built at the foot of the mountain, by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is unique, the front yard has a mountain spring into the garden, the backyard simply shrouds the mountains and forests, broad atmosphere, only look at the pattern, the well-informed old man, can not help but leisurely fascinated.

The Gu family's family business is booming, and what they see is indeed about to gain a foothold in Yazhou.

Mu Yanzhao was also relieved, while he was busy, he inevitably had to take care of one or two secretly, because of his care, Gu Wan's envisioned house should be more than twice as large as planned, fortunately, it would not be hindered to adjust the proportion of the design drawing, otherwise, she was afraid that she would have to spend another unjust money.

However, there is only so little that Mu Yanzhao can do, he can't miss the little beauty who is only more than ten years old, he has too many things to do, before everything subsides, thinking about a woman, even if it is just a little woman, is not in his life plan.

Sun Dart even laughed with him, and now he has gradually reduced the number of times he talks about Gu Wan, Mu Yanzhao knows what he is afraid of, he is afraid, talking too much, too intensively, it will make him really move his mind one day, love will become love, and take that smart and cunning little girl for himself!

Mu Yanzhao chuckled, Sun Darthead is not unfounded, not to mention anything else, just with that girl's stunning appearance, another year or two will be enough to make many men dream, but since he is truly compassionate, how can he be willing to involve her and bear this boundless loneliness with himself......

Sun Darttou always said that he was good, that he should start a family, that he deserved the best girl in the world, but he would never let him get close to his old man's precious girl for a moment......

It can be seen that Sun Darttou is also a smart person!

In Yazhou, except for Mu Qigongzi's occasional loneliness, this year has been relatively smooth and peaceful, but other places are not very good.

Hebei, Lu, Gan, Chu and other four states of the displaced people rose up, and the uprising of the displaced people in these places was the year before last, only to suppress it, in March, when the green and yellow were not connected, there were civil unrest in various places, Yazhou also supported a batch of relief grain and grass, unexpectedly, still did not block the flames, in early May, the chaos broke out again.

In fact, in recent years, there have been fires in various places, and the uprising of the displaced people is not new, and the officials of the Feng Dynasty have long been prepared.

However, the Feng Dynasty is corrupt, rotten from top to bottom, not one or two loyal figures can turn things around, the top has a policy, and the bottom is neither willing to implement it, but also unable to implement it, plus the grassland tribes have repeatedly Koubian, and there was a time when they almost hit the edge of Dayong, the people of the government and the opposition are unstable, and the small, not uncommon uprising of the displaced people, naturally stands behind.

Chuzhou, Yan Hui Lou

Le'an Hou Shuibo, Shui Huating's robe with wide sleeves, leaning on the jade railing, watching the best dancers in Chuzhou singing and dancing, the table is full of delicacies, in the glass cup, it is not much good wine, but it is strong enough.

The crown of his hair that was worth a thousand gold, and the jewel-encrusted hair had long been nowhere to be found, and the jet-black hair fell on his ears, lining his complexion, which was strangely pale and haggard......

"The world is in chaos!" Shui Bo picked up the wine glass and drank it all, it was obviously early summer, the grass was fresh and green, full of vitality, but staring at the clear sky, he seemed to see dark clouds, strong wind and rain, looking at the lush branches and leaves of the old trees outside the courtyard wall, he had already imagined that the branches were withered and yellow, scattered into mud.

Shui Bo smiled bitterly, he dreamed back countless times at midnight, always thinking that if he could be free, he must have a drunk with the person who lived in Yazhou, and he held his hands to carnival, vaguely, as if he saw that person's eyes, that person's eyes, there was a kind of warm loneliness, and the feelings revealed made him disdain and envy......

I remember that six years ago, when the people in Yazhou were in turmoil, I was ordered to follow the army to suppress bandits, and when I met him for the first time, he just looked at the rebels with swords and axes lightly, and said coldly - "If you can't live, even if the emperor descends to earth, no one is willing to rebel ......"

At that moment, he was young, still high-spirited, proud and willful age, and he didn't understand these things, but now, he understands a little, but he would rather not understand and be a fool forever.

In his life, he was also kept in captivity in that circle of right and wrong, and he was not free, and the shackles on his body could never be removed, because what bound him was the family he loved, his relatives, and everything that gave him glory and life, even if he had those so-called poor and extravagant desires, he couldn't wait for it!

Shui Bo drank wine, drunk, unconsciously remembered Dayong, let him be contradictory and tangled Dayong, there are flowers, even now, still singing and dancing, if you can really be with most of the dignitaries, immersed in boundless dreams, how good it would be, to be a sober person, can only be painful...... He is a sober man, he knows everything, he knows that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and he also knows that if it goes on like this, the Fengchao Mansion will ......

But he couldn't do anything, he could only watch as his home and country were crushed by never-ending desires and turned into a fragment in the cycle of rise and fall again and again......

Therefore, he would rather go to a good beauty, a good wine, a good food, and would rather be a prodigal son who can't stand anyone's way.
