The next day, someone demolished the old house, cleaned up the debris, and at the same time cleaned up, it was also possible to set up a temporary wooden shed for people to stay, and at this time, Guo Ketang's strong coordination ability began to appear.

Leveling the land, building wooden sheds, logistics and transportation, and all kinds of approvals, under Guo Ketang's scheduling, everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Zheng Peng talked with Steward Guo and learned that there are many craftsmen in Guo's house, carpenters and masons, and now the autumn grain has been put away, and all the villagers spend the winter at home, and they don't even need to be paid, but they are still rushing to come for two meals a day, and the manpower is very sufficient.

The processing workshop started, and Zheng Peng was not idle, and went to the scene from time to time to check.

The work is very easy, Guo Fu has a large number of experienced craftsmen, Zheng Peng as long as he puts forward a general direction and requirements, they can understand it, and the effect is better than Zheng Peng envisioned, some details Zheng Peng did not expect, the craftsman also reminded or added, and finally Zheng Peng felt that his sense of existence was not strong, and every day symbolized the turn of the end of the matter.

On the second day of construction, Qiao Wu finally sent the twenty slaves who had registered for the vouchers, Zheng Peng didn't say a word, and immediately pulled them to the island to work, in order to train his subordinates, Zheng Peng sent Zheng Fu's family to the island to help.

Zheng Fu and A Jun will be reused in the future, and let them get acquainted with the people of Guo Mansion, so let them be their own representatives and act as foremen, Aunt Zheng cooks, Xiaoyin gives her mother a hand, and Zheng Peng takes Lu Shu to repair in Guixiang County to find a suitable house.

I can't put all my hopes in one basket, and I don't know if Steward Guo promised to be polite or sincere, and I will look for it myself when I have time.

Idle is idle anyway.

Soon, Zheng Peng knew that he was a villain's belly and a gentleman's heart, and on the third day of Steward Guo's promise, he got into a carriage and invited Zheng Peng to see the house.

The house is in the east of the city, separated by two alleys from Guo's mansion, and it is only half an hour's walk away.

"Steward Guo, you've been so busy lately, I thought you had forgotten, but I didn't expect you to be so attentive all the time, it's really hard for you." After getting off the carriage, Zheng Peng hurriedly thanked Steward Guo.

"How dare the little old man, Zheng Gongzi is a distinguished guest of the Guo Mansion, and he is a noble person of the little old man, how dare he deceive the young man, the son doesn't need to thank him first, look at the house first, and then talk about it when he is satisfied."

Get off the carriage, raise your eyes is a beautiful shadow wall, the shadow wall is also called the wall, mainly divided into three parts: the top of the wall, the wall body, the wall base, the shadow wall in front of you is rarely carved with the material quality of the stone, the pattern of a hundred flowers blooming on it, the shape is vivid, the carving is exquisite, you can know that it comes from the hand of the master craftsman at a glance.

Ancient people believed that in their own houses, there will be unclean "things" = passing or visiting, if it is the soul of their ancestors is allowed to go home, but if it is a lonely ghost sneaking into the house, it will bring disaster to themselves, so they set up a shadow wall, of course, the shadow wall in addition to avoiding evil, but also blocking the sight of outsiders, even if the door is open, outsiders can not see the house, can set off the atmosphere, increase the momentum of the house.

The shadow wall is so exquisite, Zheng Peng is even more looking forward to the house behind the shadow wall.

Steward Guo obviously passed the gas in advance, and as soon as he came, someone took the initiative to greet him, and after a few words of greeting, he opened the door and invited the group inside.

"Zheng Gongzi, this house is not big, but the front and back garden, the middle residence, there are wings on both sides, small is a little smaller, but it is chic, the location is also good, the noisy with quiet, the furniture is all mahogany furniture, all kinds of daily necessities are readily available, you can buy and live." Steward Guo introduced.

While speaking, the group had already walked to the front yard.

Zheng Peng raised his eyes and couldn't help but light up: there are rockeries in the yard, green water follows each other, and a beautiful verandah cleverly connects the rockeries and pavilions together, giving people a feeling of being integrated and winding paths.

The most eye-catching is an osmanthus tree on the edge of the pavilion, the osmanthus tree is an evergreen tree, and it does not lose its leaves in winter, when the surrounding plants are adjusted to zero, it shows more vigorous vitality, the green leaves are covered with some snow powder, just like a beautiful woman who has fallen into a city and a country, beautiful but not demonic, glamorous but not vulgar, Zheng Peng fell in love with this osmanthus tree at a glance.

Zheng Peng touched the pillars of the pavilion, looked at the tall osmanthus tree, and said with some curiosity: "Strange, look at the wall and pavilion, it should not be built for a long time, why is the osmanthus tree so tall?" ”

Judging from the walls, the pillars of the pavilion, and the mortise and tenon (sǔn mǎo) structure, the age of the house will not exceed three years, and the osmanthus tree will not be more than ten years, to say the least.

"Hui Gongzi's words" carefully followed the next person responded: "My Lang Jun bought a house, this osmanthus tree is there, Lang Jun saw that it looked good, he couldn't bear to cut it down, and he specially left this osmanthus tree when he demolished and rebuilt, counting up, the house was repaired for less than two years, and the osmanthus tree is said to have grown for fifteen years, and the son is really a good eye." ”

Don't want a house that's only been two years old?

Zheng Peng immediately thought that there was something missing in this house, such as unclean things.

Steward Guo is a good person, and he can see at a glance what Zheng Peng is worried about, and he explained unhurriedly: "The owner of this house, Xiao Lao, also knows, in the end, it has a little relationship with the Guo family, I wanted to build a house for the elderly, but I didn't expect his son to come to transfer and find an official position in the field, so the family followed his son to enjoy the happiness, this house has just been installed and has not been occupied, leaving only a subordinate to take care of it, I heard that I want to take care of it, so that my son can go to the next level in his career, and he has only recently released rumors to sell, and the son is a coincidence." ”

"I didn't say yes last time, because I was afraid that someone would take the lead, and now I asked if it was not sold, so I asked my son to come and see it."

After Steward Guo finished speaking, he leaned his head over, lowered his voice and said: "This new house has not been inhabited, clean, yesterday the little old man let the craftsmen in the house see it, thick, high-quality materials, fine workmanship, good." ”

Many people taboo that the house has died, thinking that it is not clean, and if there is a murder, it will be avoided from afar, Steward Guo did a very thoughtful job, investigated clearly in advance, and asked people who knew the way to check the quality, so Zheng Peng was invited.

We couldn't have done better.

While talking, the group arrived in the lobby.

After agreeing to the gold-painted screen and the same mahogany furniture, Zheng Peng tried to sit down, thick and secure, and it can be seen that the selection of materials and carpentry are strictly controlled.

After a turn in the house, the group walked to the back again, and when they went to the back garden, Zheng Peng was even more satisfied with the house.

A pond was dug behind the house, judging from the residual lotus stem, a lot of lotus flowers were planted in the pond, and a fat fish was faintly seen swimming in the water, there were willows by the pond, there was a pavilion by the willow, and there was a stone table in the pavilion.

It's like my ideal home.

"Lushu, do you like it here?" Zheng Peng turned his head and whispered to Lu Shu, who was a little stunned.

Lu Shu, who has been wandering with her unreliable father since she was a child, shouldn't have lived in such a particular house, right?

Zheng Peng is dissatisfied with Lu Shu's father who is a ranger, you know, even "travel" is also divided into rich and poor travel, most of the rangers are either rich in wealth, or the kind of person who is not hungry and has no worries about the whole family, a big man but a little girl wanders around, or precarious, what's going on?

died and dragged down his daughter, and was forced to sell himself to bury his father, or if he didn't act in time, Lu Shu would fall into the fire pit and ruin his life.

"I like it, I like it" Lu Shu said two likes in a row, and then said with some worry: "Young master, this house is going to be very expensive, right?" ”

"It's simple, just ask."

After Zheng Peng and Lu Shu finished discussing, he turned his head and said to the subordinate: "This house is good, how much does it cost?" ”
