The effect of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan is still continuing, the foreign use of troops is victorious, the domestic situation is thriving, the giant ship of Datang is under the concerted efforts of the monarch and the people, riding the wind and waves on the road to prosperity and strength, and under the song and dance, Zheng Peng also makes every effort to build his own comfort nest.

Zheng Yongyang's movements were fast, and only three days later, Zheng Peng ushered in a special guest, Zheng Jinlun from Xingyang, that is, the uncle he said was good at building houses.

"General Zheng"

"You're polite, they're all your own people, just call me Feiteng." Zheng Peng did not underestimate the casually dressed Zheng Jinlun in front of him, and gave him the greatest respect.

Zheng Jinlun was dressed too casually, a gray hat, eighty percent new round-necked robe, unkempt, no accessories, and not even a retinue, if he didn't know his true identity, he would have thought he was a depressed and wandering ranger.

Not only is he dressed ordinary, but the whole person has a haughty aura, Zheng Penggui is a general, and he has a knighthood, but he still has a sense of superiority in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, it is to look down on it.

Zheng Jinlun frowned lightly and said unceremoniously: "Feiteng, in fact, to build an ordinary house, just find an old craftsman, you don't need to look for me." ”

As if he was afraid that Zheng Peng would misunderstand, Zheng Jinlun explained: "It's not that I can't, but I'm a bit weird and will have a lot of requirements." ”

"Understand, a good craftsman must have his own persistence." Zheng Peng said understandingly.

Talented people usually have some quirks that are difficult for others to understand, such as first-class authors who do not allow their stories to be adapted by others, and top designers who do not allow outsiders to change their designs without authorization, etc., Zheng Jinlun said that Zheng Peng can understand.

Zheng Jinlun opened his mouth and said: "Let me preside over the repair of the house, even if you are the master, if you can't convince me, you can't change my design." ”

"Yes."

Seeing that this still couldn't convince Zheng Peng, Zheng Jinlun looked at the Zheng family's somewhat dilapidated and not imposing house, and said: "I have a very bad habit, in order to do a good job, I don't hesitate to build it, and even extravagant and wasteful, so that the cost of every house I presided over is very high, well, I think about it, remember that the house I presided over to build, the lowest cost is 23,000 yuan."

The strength of a small family is limited, and Zheng Peng has just been promoted, even if he has a little savings and a little wealth, it is difficult to come up with so much money at once, not to mention that he still has so many requirements.

Zheng Jinlun is studying architecture, and if it weren't for his nephew's repeated requests for help in his letter, he would not have taken on such an errand.

Saying so much, I just want Zheng Peng to retreat from the difficulty, so that he can get out of this boring errand.

A small family repairs a house, at most three into five, there is no challenge, some old craftsmen can make it, let themselves come here, it is simply overkill.

"Twenty-three thousand?" Zheng Peng said with some surprise.

Zheng Jinlun snapped his fingers: "Not much, a good mahogany pillar costs thousands of runs, and a good bluestone slab costs dozens of runs, these are all work, of course, unless you only build a small single courtyard." ”

"Money is not a problem," Zheng Peng said confidently: "Uncle Zheng can design boldly." ”

"Oh," Zheng Jinlun said with some surprise, "What kind of house are you going to build?" ”

"Comfortable, special, magnificent, and preferably unique," Zheng Peng said without hesitation.

"What about style and area?"

"The area doesn't need to be too big, just three in and three out of the house, style Uncle Zheng helped me get ideas, it's best to design a few more different styles, so that I can have a choice."

Zheng Jinlun glanced at Zheng Peng and asked, "To build a house, you need to live within your means, I don't know what the budget for Feiteng is to prepare?" ”

"There is no need to pile up gold and silver, but there is no need to save labor costs, take 150,000 yuan in the early stage, and then add it if it is not enough." Zheng Peng thought about it and quickly made up his mind.

It's just a three-in, three-out yard main body, 150,000 yuan is very rich, enough to use all the good materials.

150,000 yuan is for ordinary people, maybe they can't save so much money in ten lifetimes, it's nothing to Zheng Peng, at most two or three years of income, if you don't want to be too public, there is no pressure at all to cultivate a five-in-five.

"Yes, I have the bottom of my heart." Zheng Jinlun nodded, expressing satisfaction.

"Uncle Zheng, let's say it first, if the design is not good, I won't receive the goods."

Zheng Jinlun said confidently: "Of course, the more picky the employer, the more attentive he is to the house, and for me, the least afraid of trouble is trouble." ”

Zheng Peng suddenly held Zheng Jinlun's hand and said, "Uncle Zheng, thank you for your hard work." ”

After the two talked, Zheng Jinlun didn't need to rest, and directly asked Zheng Peng to take it to the construction site.

The new house is built next to the old house, which is convenient for dealing with the affairs of the clan, and it is convenient to take care of things when there is a door.

At this time, the helpers and craftsmen on the construction site are in full swing, some people pick mud and some people smash stones, all of them are leveling the ground, and there are many carriages pulling various materials to come to the quasi-release, and the housekeeper Zheng Fu is supervising the work on the construction site, and he is very busy.

No matter what kind of design, the foundation must be leveled, and Zheng Peng carried out the design and preparation work at the same time, which can save a lot of time.

"Young master, you're here, this is..."When Zheng Fu saw Zheng Peng, he immediately stepped forward, just in time to Zheng Jinlun, who was dressed a little "peculiar".

Zheng Peng immediately introduced: "Zheng Fu, this is Zheng Gongzi's uncle, from Xingyang, the new house is ready to be handed over to him to preside, you will fully cooperate with Uncle Zheng's work in the future, understand?" ”

"Yes, young master" Zheng Fu answered, and immediately saluted Zheng Jinlun and said: "Old slave Zheng Fu, say hello to Zheng Langjun, if Zheng Langjun has any instructions, just open your mouth." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you something, go ahead with you." Zheng Jinlun didn't look at Zheng Fu, took out a compass and calculated it on the spot.

Zheng Fu was a little dumbfounded, turned his head to Zheng Peng and said, "Young Master, look...."

"His temperament is like this, let him go, just do his own thing, by the way, he is Zheng Gongzi's uncle, and he is also a figure in Xingyang's family, and he usually has a good attitude." At first glance, Zheng Jinlun looks like a workaholic, a person like him, work is always put first, he is lazy to socialize, and Zheng Peng doesn't care about him.

"Understood, young master." As soon as Zheng Fu heard this, his originally somewhat contemptuous heart immediately put away, and without Zheng Peng's orders, he took the initiative to leave Zheng Jinlun so that he could cooperate with him at any time.

Zheng Jinlun is not only a workaholic, but also a very efficient workaholic, the next morning, Zheng Peng was still lying on the bed and falling asleep, and was woken up by Huang San: "Young master, young master, get up." ”

Zheng Peng reluctantly opened his eyes and looked out the window, the sun had just risen, and he couldn't help but pick up a pillow and smash it: "What is it called so early, isn't it looking for a draw?" ”

Sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp, this is Zheng Peng's dream, if it's okay, you will sleep until three o'clock in the sun before waking up, waking yourself up so early, so that Zheng Peng has "bed gas".

Huang San hurriedly caught the pillow and said with an aggrieved face: "Young master, it was Zheng Langjun who you invited to preside over the construction of the house that had something to look for you, and the little one said that the young master slept late last night, and it was estimated that he would get up a little later, but he refused, saying that he was going to see you soon, so..."

"Got it, Xiaolan, get me clothes and washing water." Zheng Peng yawned and ordered the new maid who was in charge of serving him.

Zheng Peng's speed of washing was very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he saw Zheng Jinlun in the side hall who was anxious to find him.

"Uncle Zheng, you didn't sleep well last night, did you not entertain well or did you recognize the bed?" Zheng Peng saw Zheng Jinlun and said with some surprise.

Zheng Jinlun's face was haggard, his eyes were red, as if the clothes were the same as those he wore yesterday, and he didn't know if he took a bath last night, as if he hadn't seen him all night, and his beard had grown again, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were still as confident and energetic as yesterday, he really thought he was a different person.

"It's okay, I measured the size yesterday, and I also measured the direction, last night I drew a few design drawings of the house overnight, so that you can see which one you like, and when you pick it, I will also prepare for the next step." Zheng Jinlun said as he pushed the three rolled scrolls over.

"Wouldn't it, so fast?" Zheng Peng's mouth opened wide in surprise.

I just came here yesterday, and it was only one night of hard work to design, or one design is three copies, which is too amazing.

Even if there are computers in later generations, there is no such efficiency.

Wouldn't it be that the "clan uncle" in front of him had no intention of helping himself, and he would send himself away with a few random works, right?
