Chapter 40: How can a house be swept without sweeping?

It was nearly evening when Ho Hanwen returned to his house, and he threw two five-baht coins to the coachman with a little tiredness, and then knocked on the door of the mansion that belonged to him but he had never set foot before.

It was Zhang Bo's cousin who opened the door, He Hanwen was a little embarrassed for a while, but he reacted immediately, so he took out the waist card, handed it to her, and entered the house.

"Young Master, you're back!" Xiaozhu walked out of the side room quickly, holding a handkerchief in his hand, carefully wiped He Hanwen's sweat, and then asked, "Has Dr. Lu accepted you as an apprentice?"

He Hanwen waved his hand, and then said, "What, do you think Dr. Lu will not accept me?"

Xiaozhu hurriedly stopped him and asked again, "Young master, tell the concubine what happened!"

He Hanwen was a little tired, so he asked to move out a low couch, remove his shoes, kneel in the garden, and talk about what he saw and heard at Lu Zhi's place and the conversation with Lu Zhi.

After talking for about half an hour, his mouth was dry, and he was not accustomed to kneeling, so he wanted to hurry into the house. However, Xiaozhu pestered him to talk about Lu Zhi's appearance and what he saw in Zhuozhou City, He Hanwen couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked, "Xiaozhu, why are you stopping me?" Then he stepped over Xiaozhu and walked straight to the main hall, kicking the front door with a "bang", and saw Zhang Bo and Da Niu leading the domestic servants selected from the refugees to clean up.

The main hall has been basically cleaned up, except for a few cobwebs hanging from the walls. However, there are not many belongings in the hall, only two desks are placed in the front, and the corners are still missing and the paint is off.

Seeing He Hanwen kicking the door angrily, Zhang Bo was taken aback, and looked at Xiaozhu's helpless look behind He Hanwen, so he knew that He Hanwen was not dragged by Xiaozhu, so he hurriedly saluted, and then explained: "Young master... This... He was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

He Hanwen thought that something had happened at home, so he hurriedly kicked in the door. Who knew that he would be wrong, he thought that it was just that the house had not been cleaned, and the servants were afraid that he would be angry and punished, so he said: "There is no need to salute, what you should do, continue to clean, it is okay." But... Make the tide!"

He saw a shadow hiding in the corner, it was his coachman, who was pretending to be a busy ordinary servant, but his striking tall man betrayed him, even if he deliberately put his dog around his waist.

"Hehe, didn't Childe say to continue cleaning?" "Lang Chao'er hurriedly rubbed his hands and trotted over, which made He Hanwen feel a little want to beat him.

"Don't pretend to be garlic, let me ask you, what's going on with this house, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time!" He Hanwen asked.

Lang Chao'er hurriedly explained: "If you return to Gongzi, it is indeed abandoned for a while. However, the furniture is complete, but I don't know how to seem to have been robbed, I have reported to the government, but I am afraid it will be difficult to find out for a while. Those thieves frequented it, and I am afraid that this mansion is not often occupied. ”

He Hanwen: "Okay, it's useless to blame you now. After cleaning today, Zhang Bo, tomorrow Rushang Street will buy some ordinary furniture, enough is enough, and the rest will be customized slowly; Da Niu, recruit 20 people early tomorrow morning, pick a strong body, give two times a quarter, three meals a day. If there is a woman in the household, he may also enter the house as a servant, and he will be given half a quarter and two meals a day. Xiaozhu, take me to inspect the mansion, and the rest of the people continue to clean. What are the places ready now?"

Xiaozhu: "Young master, the main hall will be cleaned soon." The kitchen has been cleaned up, your bedroom and side room, and the stables have been cleaned up. ”

He Hanwen nodded, and then led by Xiaozhu, it took half an hour to inspect the mansion. The mansion is not big, and it will take at most ten minutes to complete a normal turn, but He Hanwen actually wants to re-plan, and now it has basically determined the renovation plan. The mansion covers an area of about 4 acres, about 2,000 square meters. The entire mansion is in a regular square. The first third of the building is the main courtyard, with wings on both sides. The atrium is a small garden surrounded by side courtyards and side houses. As for the kitchen, latrine, and some knife-backed rooms, they are arranged at the back door of the mansion.

Ho Hanwen didn't plan to move the main courtyard, but he planned to transform the atrium garden into a study, because he felt that it could reflect the elegance of the atmosphere, and in this era, this temperament can be sought after. He is not a vassal elegance, but a real vassal elegance, he wants to use this appearance to bury his true intentions, while screening out the real elegance, but also to be able to snare a group of eagle dogs and fox friends and dog friends.

Yes, he never thought that fox friends were worthless. The so-called wall is pushed by everyone, as long as they can ensure a certain strength, then those so-called elegant celebrities will raise it. Eagle dogs have their own uses for eagle dogs, and those little people, you expect them to be able to do things, it's just a fool's dream. However, for those enemies of He Hanwen, instructing them to do bad things for others is an excellent strategy.

He Hanwen understands this group of people. These people actually rely on interests to gather together, and when they are alone, they are weak, but once they are gathered together, they are like hyenas that smell the foam of meat, they will swarm and tear He Hanwen's enemies clean. However, He Hanwen will use these people carefully, he doesn't want to be bitten back, hyenas are not familiar.

He Hanwen: "Xiaozhu, just buy it according to my meaning, take your time, we still have a long time." First of all, I was most anxious to pack up the study, and then move my things into the big room on the right side of the study. ”

Xiaozhu: "Okay young master, but you want to use that room as the main room?"

He Hanwen: "What, what's wrong?"

Xiaozhu: "Young master, the big room is not good, it is three rooms stacked and squeezed together." ”

He Hanwen: "It's okay, I've seen it, tomorrow I will let Zhang Bo support two square pillars under the beams of the middle room, build two horizontal arms at a foot and a foot away, lock them with buckles, and then knock out the wall under the secondary beam." ”

Xiaozhu: "Knock down the wall, young master, then the house will collapse!"

He Hanwen: "It's okay, I've seen it, you just have to talk to Zhang Bo and Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan has been a stonemason and has also designed a house, he will agree with my plan." ”

Xiaozhu: "Okay, the young master will do so when he says so, how can the concubine understand." But what is the young master going to do with the room on the side?"

He Hanwen: "That's your room, even if I marry a wife in the future, it's also your room, and no matter what time I do, you are responsible for internal affairs, this is your homework, and it's also your responsibility." ”
