Chapter 174: Compromise
It's just that the Ministry of Industry did not go to the Seventh Elder Brother and Eighth Elder Brother Mansion to measure, until the Seventh Elder Brother found the officials of the Ministry of Industry to inquire, and learned that the Ministry of Industry had divided the expansion into two batches this time.
The expansion of the Seventh Elder Brother and the Eighth Elder Brother Mansion were all ranked in the second batch.
The eighth elder brother seemed very calm about this matter, and it was only a matter of time before the mansion was expanded, but it was only later.
It is said that eating people is soft and taking people's mouths short, and after the officials of the Ministry of Industry got the benefits of Wanyue, they drew the drawings with extra dedication, and from time to time they also went to Prince Heng's Mansion to ask for opinions on expanding the house.
It's just that when Wanyue took a copy of the drawings and showed them to the sisters in the backyard, everyone had some opinions.
The small pond that Su Xin wanted was too far away from the west side hall, and if it was built according to the drawings, I was afraid that she would not have the heart to go to the small pond to raise fish.
There is also the dining room that Magge expected, and the Ministry of Works actually painted it in the southernmost part, saying that it was the closest to the market, and it was convenient to deliver food in this way, so that there was no need to disturb the ladies in the backyard.
Only the pavilions that Wanyue wanted were reasonably painted, but in this case, Su Xin and Ma Gege had to make adjustments to what they wanted.
After some discussion with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, Wan Yue had to make a compromise and convert one of the pavilions into a small pool, and the new dining room was also moved to the easternmost part of the vacant lot, so that it was also close to the west wing.
In this way, the final drawings were finally established, and everyone was satisfied, and the time came for the actual expansion to begin.
In June of the forty-fourth year of Kangxi, it was finally the turn of the expansion of Prince Heng's mansion.
However, the weather in June is already a bit hot, and as soon as the sun comes out, it looks like there is a fire on the ground.
In the backyard of Prince Heng's mansion, several masters were so noisy that they couldn't sleep.
Wanyue was shaking a fan to fan Sifeng, when she saw Mama Wang running over sweating profusely, looking at Wanyue anxiously, and said breathlessly: "Miss, the craftsmen who are repairing in the west have fainted again, and Lord Belle just asked Steward Yan to come over and spread the word, saying that you should arrange a few people to come over and prepare some things for them to relieve the heat." ”
Wanyue hurriedly stood up, handed the fan to the grandmother who took care of Sifeng, then looked left and right, and instructed: "Grandma Wang, you take a few little girls to the west to build two tables, and you will distribute the summer soup later; Yudan, you take a few more people to the dining room together, let people prepare some pumpkin mung bean soup, boil more pumpkin mung bean soup for those craftsmen, you go first, I will go back to the house to change clothes before going over. ”
After speaking, Wanyue walked straight to the back room, and Mama Wang and Yudan also led people to help.
Wanyue changed into ordinary people's clothes before going to the dining room to help, when she arrived, everyone was busy, Yudan was cooking pumpkin mung bean soup, only vaguely felt that there was a person standing behind her, thinking that she was also coming to help, so she ordered her: "You help me get the pumpkin on the table." ”
Wanyue didn't reply to her, and went straight to the pumpkin not far behind Yu Dan.
After Yu Dan hung his head and took the pumpkin, he handed the pot containing the pumpkin to Wan Yue.
A few maids who came to help next to him couldn't help but smile, Yu Dan heard the sound of their laughter, and hurriedly looked up, only to find that Wufujin was standing next to him.
"Master, when did you come, I almost didn't recognize you wearing this dress." Yu Dan looked surprised, remembering that she was still giving orders to Wufu Jin just now, she lowered her head a little shyly.
Wanyue quipped: "I also see that you are doing things too seriously, and I can't bear to interrupt you." ”
The two raised their eyes and laughed at each other for a while, and at this time, Mama Wang hurried to the dining room again, and said with a sigh: "Miss, something happened again!" ”
Wanyue's face was calm when she heard this, why did something happen again! Then he asked Mama Wang, "What's wrong?" ”
Mama Wang sighed: "There is a craftsman who accidentally sawed wood and accidentally knocked off a large piece of skin with his hand, and the blood is flowing at this time!" ”
Wanyue frowned and listened to this passage, "Go out and ask a doctor to take a look for him, what's going on today, there are a lot of hot things to follow this day." ”
After Mama Wang left, Wanyue raised her hand and beckoned the two little servants to come up, and advised: "You tell those craftsmen to be careful, it doesn't matter if the construction period is slow, the important thing is that they ensure their own safety." ”
"Yes." When the two little servants heard this, they all flew towards the craftsmen who were working.
The craftsman who accidentally dropped a piece of skin on his hand was lying in the shed that had been built, screaming in pain, and there were beads of sweat on his body, and after the soup was boiled, Yu Dan also specially brought him a bowl of pumpkin mung bean soup, but before the man finished drinking, Yu Dan ran out of the shed first.
It was really the smell of sweat inside that made Yudan a little unbearable, so she had to come out first.
The bleeding from the craftsman's wounds had stopped, and the doctor came.
The doctor was actually dragged by the little guy, and when he went out on such a day, he would sweat all over his body, and when the doctor arrived, he was covered in sweat.
The doctor glanced at the strong man lying in the shed drinking pumpkin mung bean soup, and couldn't help frowning slightly, this looked like he was injured.
But the doctor still pretended to ask: "Who needs to see the disease!" ”
Yu Dan, who was guarding the door of the shed, glanced at the doctor, and the doctor didn't seem to see it, Yu Dan wondered if the doctor was old and dizzy, didn't he see such a big living person lying in the shed?!
Yu Dan couldn't help it, raised his hand and pointed at the doctor, and said disdainfully: "Doctor, the person who needs to see the sick is lying in the shed, and there is no one else but him." ”
The doctor sighed, then put down the medicine box and glanced at the strong man again.
Then he asked unhurriedly, "Where are you hurt?" ”
After asking, the strong man didn't answer until he drank the last mouthful of pumpkin mung bean soup in the bowl, and while putting down the bowl, he couldn't help but praise: "This pumpkin mung bean soup is really delicious, it is both relieving the heat and delicious." ”
The doctor looked at him with a dark face, and the strong man seemed to notice the doctor's gaze, raised his left arm and said to the doctor: "Now, just my arm has lost a piece of skin, but now it is not bleeding." ”
The doctor then set his eyes on his arm, and sure enough, a large piece of skin fell off, and the doctor sighed, "Come, let me see." ”
After a while, the doctor nodded in front of Yudan and the strong man and said, "It's not a big deal, but a piece of skin on my left arm was sawed off, fortunately it didn't hurt deeply, just put a few plasters on it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man got up and replied, "Since there is nothing to do, then I will continue to work." ”
It really scared Yudan and the doctor.
Yu Dan hurriedly stopped him, "Eh, you can rest first, let the doctor bandage your wound first." ”
The doctor was dripping with sweat on his forehead, coughed a little embarrassed, and took out the prepared ointment from the medicine box and put it on the injured arm of the strong man.
Yu Dan saw that the doctor was wiping his sweat while applying medicine, so he turned around and served a bowl of pumpkin mung bean soup to the doctor.
The strong man who saw the pumpkin mung bean soup couldn't help but look up at Yu Dan, and said embarrassedly: "This girl, can you serve me another bowl of pumpkin mung bean soup." ”
Yu Dan glanced back at the strong man with some astonishment, nodded with a slight blush, and took the empty bowl he put next to the bed back to serve the soup, it was the first time she had heard someone call her sister.
Wanyue, who was not far away, saw this scene in her eyes and said regretfully: "Yudan's age is not too young."
