As the early winter gradually passed, this day became a little cooler, all families in Kyoto were busy buying charcoal for the winter, Yuantai was no exception, not to mention anything else, the two old men who spent half a mile could not survive without charcoal fire in winter.

"These are all small things, the important thing is that the money allocated must be prepared, and the whole flower will be officially rested on the 28th day of the lunar month, and the construction will not start until after the fifteenth day of the New Year, and the money of the builders must be settled."

Following Wen Mianmian's temples that appeared in Huabanli, the temple of Steward Wei jumped suddenly, in previous years, the end of the year was the happiest time, and the stewards everywhere would hand over the money, and the silver was carried to the house one by one, but this year is different.

The stewards haven't come to pay the account yet, and the money spent in half a mile and the academy is poured directly into the sea.

I feel that the silver earned by several industries for a year can't withstand the expenses of these two places, and the prince of his family has been busy for a year, and nine times out of ten he has lost money.

"Boss, don't worry, the funds to be allocated at the end of the half mile have already been prepared, and there is no delay."

Mr. Wei was a little dissatisfied, don't look at the surname Wei, but it really has nothing to do with his Wei family, and his Wei family is not such a picky person, let him dial some silver It feels the same as asking him to die, I don't know that I thought that the silver was taken out of his purse.

Steward Wei said that he still had something to do, so it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he quickly turned around and left, and he didn't want to stay with Mr. Wei, it was too expensive to spend money.

Wen Mianmian snickered, and Master Wei 'hummed' twice and began to complain, "Xiao Wei is too picky, where to find a big account room, in the old man's opinion, he should have to change it." ”

"Don't." Wen Mianmian said and persuaded: "This is what my prince spent a lot of effort to find, it turned out to be the treasurer of the palace, who is in charge of my prince's money bag." ”

"This person who looks at the money bag can't be tighter."

"Let's go and spend half a mile around."

Mr. Wei said that, and when he said that he went out for a walk, he put down the teacup in his hand and followed happily.

The construction site is still very lively, and the builders are hurrying to work, the embankment has been built, and the stones are scattered layer by layer, and there are still a number of chisels and hammers on the ground that chisel the lines of the stones.

"The indiscriminate lines on these stones are more deeply chiseled, so that they are not easy to loosen together, and we also ordered people to go to the distant river and pick up a lot of pebbles back, which can also come in handy when the time comes, and save a sum of silver."

For such a thing as building a river embankment, which belongs to Wen Mianmian's knowledge, he can only make one request, "The silver that should be spent still has to be spent, and this place must be solid." ”

Elder Wei said confidently, "You can rest assured of this, even if the flood comes, it will not collapse." ”

What he didn't say was that the materials used here were much more solid than those used by the imperial court to build embankments.

A few people walked down the embankment to Ayaamiri, where the dredging had been completed and the banks were being repaired, and it looked much more spacious than before.

"The two sides of the bank are simple to repair, and you don't need stones, you can tamp the foundation, and the flowers and plants will look good when the time comes."

"We have purchased and delivered the lotus seeds, which are the red snow concubines of Xiaoguang City, and the edges of each lotus flower are pink or pink-purple when the flowers bloom, which is the most brilliant flower species in recent years."

Mr. Zhao pointed to the still chaotic ayana, "Considering that many people want to come to enjoy the scenery or paint lotus flowers during the blooming season, we have added a water cloister pavilion here, which can also be regarded as a scene." ”

"The construction of the water cloister pavilion is not complicated, we found the Ma family construction workshop to do it, they are already preparing, planning to erect piles and splicing in ten days, and it can be completed before the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month."

Wen Mianmian nodded, imagined the beauty of a water pavilion in the lotus leaf field, and knew that the way to build a pavilion was similar to that of building blocks, and it could be completed by stepping forward and splicing it properly.

"In that case, can we also consider adding a new gazebo to the shore?"

Old Master Zhao smiled: "It has been added, and it is in this position." ”

"The road is paved with bluestone slabs, and cobblestones are placed on both sides as bluestone paths that wind to the pavilion."

Wen Mianmian smiled, "I really can't wait to see the day when it is completed." ”

Several people laughed and continued to walk forward, Wen Mianmian proposed to take a look at the houses that were being built, but he hadn't approached to see them a few times.

The underground drainage has been preliminarily completed, the road is only preliminarily formed, and there are building materials from various builders at intervals, some carpenters are trimming wood, some are playing ink fountain lines, some are using planers to plane wood, and I saw that the two old men were hurriedly saluting and politely greeting.

Old Master Zhao waved his hand, "Let's be busy." ”

These people looked at Wen Mianmian with some curiosity, guessing that she might be the legendary Princess of Annan, but they didn't dare to confirm it, they only felt that she looked too young.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the Ma family construction workshop, which was also very busy, more than ten carpentry masters did not stop for a while, and Ma Yutang, who was wearing a gown, hurriedly came over to greet someone when he saw it, "Two adults." ”

"Cousin came to see the house?"

Wen Mianmian smiled: "Come and go around." ”

Looking up at them, they had already laid the foundation and started the ground work, "You're making rapid progress." ”

Ma Yutang smiled, "We have a lot of people, we prepare early, and the materials enter the site early, and these two houses should be preliminarily completed in the second half of next year." ”

The old man of the Ma family also walked over, and was about to kneel down in his robe, but Wen Mianmian called out to her, "The family doesn't need so much courtesy." ”

Old Man Ma happily arched his hand, "Don't worry, princess, this is something we have been staring at all day, and there will be absolutely no mistakes." ”

"That's good." Saying that, he smiled and asked Ma Yutang: "I heard my grandfather say that my cousin has already made a marriage, this will be done next year?" ”

Ma Yutang's ears were slightly red, "I listen to my grandfather's arrangement." ”

Wen Mianmian said: "Then you have to invite me to a glass of wine." ”

The grandfather and grandson exchanged hands with joy.

The Ma family's family devoted themselves to construction when they arrived in Kyoto, and they didn't act in the name of relatives in the General's Mansion, and they acted low-key on weekdays, which made people feel a little more good.

Wen Mianmian and his entourage continued to walk forward, and they had to stop and take a look at the passers-by, until they finished shopping, Wen Mianmian said to the two old men: "It's really a blessing that I can find two old men to take care of Hua Banli. ”

Boss Zhao smiled proudly, "It's a blessing, you must know how many years these builders have been working with us, and no one will let them come if they cut corners and are not honest." ”

Old Master Wei also said, "Even if you pick up a bargain, you must know that Lao Zhao is notoriously strict in construction, and he has to see every material himself." ”

"You know that we eat a little tea from you, and eating a few meals from you is not taking advantage of you, right?"

Wen Mianmian smiled helplessly, "Am I such a stingy person, let's go, I'm going to be the east today, please finish eating." ”
