The two of them were dressed plainly, and the gifts they brought were only two skewers of meat, and they knew how big a house would be built.

"Please sit down, I don't know what you two call you?"

"His name is Gu Xiao, I am his daughter-in-law, he has a bad voice, I can't greet you, and I hope Uncle Wang won't be surprised."

"It turned out to be the nephew of the Gu family, sit down quickly. Yang, why don't you serve tea to the guests? ”

Wang Yongwang has also heard of Gu Xiao, this person has a good ability, but the daughter-in-law he marries is not good, and he is a mourning star.

Wang Yongwang looked at Jiang Mian with some disdain. If it weren't for the fact that "Gu Xiao" couldn't speak, he wouldn't want this woman to enter the door, so as not to bring bad luck to their house.

The sister-in-law who welcomed them in served them tea. Jiang Mian took the opportunity to hand her the meat in his hand.

Yang Shi weighed the meat in his hand, which weighed twenty catties, and suddenly smiled even brighter.

"Nephew of the Gu family, I have also heard about you, this person just wants to look forward, this voice is broken, it is broken, and the ability is still there. Men rely on their ability to eat and not rely on their mouths to speak, so don't take it too seriously. ”

Gu Yanning hung his head and ignored him.

The smile on Wang Yongwang's face was a little stiff.

Jiang Mian hurriedly smiled: "He is this kind of character, he doesn't want to go out since he got sick, and he doesn't care about people." ”

Wang Yongwang nodded in understanding. If he tries his best to compare with others, others can't guess what he means, and he doesn't want to deal with people.

Wang Yongwang and Jiang Mian exchanged two sentences, and began to get to the point.

"You two are here this time to ask me to help build a house?"

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "That's right, I bought some land a few days ago and wanted to build a yard. ”

Jiang Mian took out her sketch and began to talk about her layout.

"The yard is not big, just more than half an acre, I want to build a small courtyard with two entrances, leaving a small garden in the middle......"

Wang Yongwang saw that "Gu Xiao" was just sitting on the side, and he didn't mean to mix, he knew in his heart that the person in charge was Jiang Mian.

He shook his head secretly, this man should be the master of the house, what's the matter of handing over such a big thing as building a house to a woman? His high fever not only burned his throat, but also burned his brain, right?

Wang Yongwang didn't wait for Jiang Mian to finish speaking, and pushed the drawings back with a smile.

"Gu Xiao and his daughter-in-law, I know what kind of house can be built on this half acre of land, so I can rest assured that I will hand it over to my uncle to ensure that you are satisfied."

Jiang Mian: "?? ”

"How much money are you going to take out to build a house?" When do you plan to complete it? ”

"Two hundred taels. It's best to stay at home before winter. ”

Wang Yongwang seemed to have heard some joke, and he shook his head with a smile.

"Two hundred taels of silver can be built into a two-entry courtyard, but it has to be a brick and wood structure, the foundation is made of masonry, and the body of the house is made of wood, and I can only give you fir wood. I still recommend that you build a brick and stone yard, although it is more expensive, but it can withstand wind and rain, is not afraid of moths and fire, and it is not a problem to live for sixty or seventy years without renovation. ”

Jiang Mian originally wanted to build a brick and stone house. But there's no reason why two hundred taels isn't enough.

When Wang Yongwang said this, he peeked at Gu Yanning, who was playing with the pears on the table, and had no intention of making a sound. The price he had in mind went up a little more.

"Also, this house is in a hurry. Now it's almost July, and there are still three or four months before the winter, I see that you are also a particular person, and the house you built must be beautiful in addition to being strong. Besides, next month will be busy with farming, and there will be insufficient manpower, so it will be fast for you to enter the house next spring. ”

Jiang Mian frowned, she didn't talk nonsense these days.

It takes more than half a month to dig the foundation, and how can the house be built for two months, and there is no need for reinforced concrete, but it takes some effort to break stone bricks.

As for doors, windows, and tiles, they can be done in advance, and they can be installed as soon as the house is built.

Three and a half months is her conservative estimate.

Why wait until next spring?

At the beginning, the Jiang family's house was only more than four months old, and his family's house was nearly half larger than the one she was going to build.

"In this way, if you can rest assured, three hundred taels, I will package the materials and labor for you, and I will also build the beams for you. The house can be built before winter. But I'm only responsible for building the house and not for anything else, doors, windows, tiles, etc., and you have to go to carpenters and bricklayers, after all, these are delicate jobs, and there are so many people under my hands who can't do it. ”

Jiang Mian laughed.

Three hundred taels? Just build a blue brick rough house? Does she look like a fool?

"Since Uncle Wang, you can't achieve my expectations within my budget, then I'd better find someone else."

Wang Yongwang was stunned when he heard her words.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The meaning is very simple, that is, I don't plan to ask you to build a house for me."

Wang Yongwang didn't expect Jiang Mian to turn his face when he said it, "You think clearly, the people who build houses in these ten miles and eight towns follow me to work, as long as I ......"

Yo, what about monopolies?

"Then I'll look for someone from the next town. You made more than half of the three hundred taels you said, right? ”

Such a person, she didn't dare to hand over the house to him, build her a tofu scum project, who would she cry to when the house collapsed?

What is an honest person, sure enough, people should not be disguised, nor hearsay.

Does he love to build or not, she gives money, and she still has to hold him?

Jiang Mian pulled Gu Yanning and walked out with a blank face.

Wang Yongwang's face was even more ugly than Jiang Mian's, and he was so angry that he dropped the teacups on the table.

"Ouch, master, what are you doing here, this is the white porcelain that San'er specially bought for you, it's expensive, how can you say that you will fall? Hey, what about the little couple? Agreed? How big is a house? Yang heard a sound coming out of the kitchen.

Wang Yongwang was so noisy by her that the corners of his forehead protruded, "Shut up!" ”

Yang immediately shut his mouth and silently picked up a broom to sweep the debris.

And Jiang Mian, who had taken a few steps outside, folded back again.

Wang Yongwang saw the two of them go and return, and his face was slightly pale.

He snorted coldly in his heart, he had seen too much of this kind of bargaining trick, didn't he just want him to call them up?

Who is he, Wang Yongwang, who bows to them for the sake of hundreds of taels of people?

Hmph, he's not as they liked.

Aren't you going to come back and beg him now?

Jiang Mian smiled lightly, "Uncle Wang, give me back the two pork I brought." No way, there are many children in the family, and I eat a lot, I am really reluctant to give up 20 catties of pork, you won't blame me for being stingy, right? Really, you didn't help. ”

Wang Dazhuang: "...... Give it to her, give it to her! Give her back! ”

Jiang Mian happily lifted the two pork back.

Don't think she can't see that Wang Yongwang's contempt for her. Didn't she just think that she didn't have the support of a man and took the opportunity to bully her?

Hehe...... This kind of person doesn't deserve to eat her pork.

She glanced back at Gu Yanning, who was following her, and smacked her tongue, it seems that this guy is not enough to deter.

"Gu Yanning, take you out in the future, as soon as I poke you, you will keep an eye on the person who is talking to me, that's it." Jiang Mian poked his waist with his fingers, "Got it?" ”

Gu Yanning nodded.

"Then you stare at one and show me."

Gu Yan looked at Jiang Mian steadily.

"No, a little more fierce, purse your lips a little tighter, just like this."

Jiang Mian made an expression.

Gu Yanning stared at Jiang Mian's ruddy lips, and the ghost sent him over and pecked lightly.

Jiang Mian's face turned red, and after a while, she roared: "Gu Yanning!" You, you're rebellious! ”
