"Huh." As soon as he entered the door, Qi Muyuan was stunned.

The door of the general family is a courtyard, the corridors on both sides, and the steps are a long and straight corridor, leading directly to the main hall. Some trees or flowers are planted on both sides of the road, and the corridors on both sides are built along the wall, so that you can also get to the main hall from the left and right, so you don't have to be caught in the rain when it rains. The whole yard is well-behaved and square. For those who are more particular, at most they build a shadow wall in front of them to block the eyes of passers-by looking in, and it also plays the role of feng shui of "fertilizer water does not flow into outsiders' fields".

But Du Jinning's house, there is a few zhang square open space under the courtyard, and I don't know what to do to stay, behind the open space is a rockery, the rockery is almost as high as the courtyard, and the height is several zhang wide, completely blocking the line of sight at the entrance.

Yao Shuqi was busy reporting the situation to Du Jinning: "We have a lot of stone mountains here, and it didn't take much effort to dig out these stone mountains and move them here, but the weather is too hot, and I don't dare to plant flowers and trees, so this piece will be empty first, and then plant some flowers and trees when the weather is cold for a while." The water channel in the rockery was built according to your instructions, young master, and the water tower was also built. After it was built, I tried it, and it was really as you said, young master, that water could flow down from above and form a waterfall. Young Master, your whimsical ideas have opened the eyes of Craftsman Mo, and he admires it so much. He also said that young master, after you arrive in Fucheng, he will have a good talk with you. If these construction techniques can be used by him, he will build our yard without taking a penny. ”

Du Jinning smiled and was noncommittal about this: "It's okay to talk about it, and we'll talk about it later." ”

Bypassing the rockery from the right, there is a long corridor that has been built. The promenade has a wall on one side, but on the other side is an open space, from the open space, everyone can see that a lot of houses have been built in the east and west, and there is a big deep pit in front of the house, which looks like a pond, but there is neither water nor trees, and the whole space is very messy.

After walking along the promenade, everyone passed through an arch and entered an open-air corridor. There was also a lot of open space on both sides of the road, and some houses and pavilions were built.

Along the way, there are big pits dug up, rockeries, huge stones, courtyards and pavilions, and some places have built walls, and the walls are also equipped with hollow carved stone windows, which can be seen from this side to see the scenery on the other side.

After walking for a while, I entered a gate, and the houses inside became dense, like a courtyard. However, the courtyards are also quite separated, and they have to walk at least half a cup of tea to each other.

"How did these houses get built so quickly? It's almost finished, right? Seeing this, Du Jinning asked Yao Shuqi.

"Yes. This is also thanks to Young Master Liang. Yao Shuqi said, "When I went to buy wood with Master Mo, I happened to meet Young Master Liang. He knew that you were the one who built the house, so he directly called their big shopkeeper and gave us a very favorable price. I learned that they had a group of people who built houses, so they simply let the Liang family do all the timber construction. Young Master Liang knew that you would stay in Fucheng to study after the exam, and he was afraid that you would have no place to live at that time, so he asked the big shopkeeper to draw all the craftsmen over and give us priority to do the work. The craftsmen of the Liang family partly processed the wood and partly built the house, and in less than half a month, the entire house and the courtyard and pavilion were completed. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a rockery in front of him and said, "These rocks were all sold to us by the Liang family and transported by the Liang family." Otherwise, we'll have to ask around and buy rocks now. Ordinary people build gardens, although they will use mountain stones, but the amount of use is not large, so the craftsmen will not have many mountain stones in their hands. We are directly three or four times the amount of ordinary people. If it weren't for the Liang family's special channels to buy mountain stones, we don't know how long it would take to get them together. ”

"This is a great love for the Liang family." Du Jinning said with emotion.

The houses of this era were all wooden buildings, and if Mo Jingming's craftsmen were allowed to do them slowly, it would take two or three months to make these houses alone. Now that there are Liang family craftsmen making a move, it is naturally fast. Get the footing right here, knock the falcon directly at the other end, and as long as there are enough craftsmen, a house can be erected in a few days.

She asked again, "When did Young Master Liang come back?" ”

"A month ago."

Du Jinning nodded.

Liang Xiankuan's father was imprisoned in the capital, although Liang Xiankuan was very concerned, he couldn't help even if he went to the capital, and his father specially asked someone to tell him to do a good scientific examination before he was imprisoned, so he patiently stayed in his hometown and took the government examination, and after the government examination, he went directly to Beijing. Before going to Beijing, he told Du Jinning that if the situation in Beijing was not good, he might wait for the next college examination and come back; If things get better, he will rush back to the institute for the exam.

Now it seems that his family's situation should be fine. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back so early, and he still had the leisure to take care of Du Jinning's matter.

Remembering what Liang Xiankuan had said before, Du Jinning turned his head and asked Qi Muyuan: "Liang Xiankuan has always said that he wants to partner with me to open a teahouse in the capital, and I plan to agree to him." You can also join individual stocks, and I will call Guan Jiaze when the time comes. It just so happens that Guan Jiaze is going to Beijing, and he can also take care of it when the time comes. ”

"Okay." Qi Muyuan didn't shirk it.

Du Jinning pointed to the garden in front of him again, and explained his plans and plans: "After this garden is built, I will publicize it in the city." If someone asks me to build a garden for them, I'm going to take over the business. When the time comes, I will design the garden and let the craftsmen under Liang Xiankuan build it. Do you want to get a share too? ”

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "I won't participate in this." You don't need the capital to build this, and I can't help much, and the profits will not be easy to divide at that time. If you have any good ideas to make money in the future, call me again, and forget it. ”

Du Jinning was not reluctant and said, "Okay." ”

Originally, she also intended to talk to Mo Jingming to see if they could partner in this garden business together. After all, Mo Jingming can understand her design, which is rare. When the time comes, she will win the project and let Mo Jingming do it, and the profits will naturally be inclined to her side. But now that Liang Xiankuan is back, he has helped him a lot, so it makes sense that she has to do this business with the Liang family. Mo Jingming's side, he could only say sorry.

With this thought in her mind, Mo Jingming heard the news and rushed over, and when he entered the door, he saluted Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan respectfully: "The two young masters are here?" ”

"The progress of the house is very fast, and the head of the Mo craftsman has worked hard." Du Jinning returned the salute.
