As soon as they entered the door, the two of them poured two large cups of cold tea at the same time, and then sat on the chair angrily.

Qiu Yan looked at their appearance after they came back, and knew that they must have chatted unpleasantly just now, so he hurriedly smiled at them comfortingly.

"It's the first time to talk about business, it's normal for problems to occur, let's talk about it first, which link went wrong just now. That Qiu County Commander is not such a difficult person to talk to. ”

"Madam, you really misread this time!" Ji Feifan raised his head and poured bitter water on her.

"You don't know, when I went with Young Master Shen just now, I was talking to them politely, and even the various conditions had already been told to them."

"Everything was proposed according to Madame, you and the head of the family, and you didn't talk casually. But the county order couple is too much! ”

"What the hell is going on? Rest assured, say well, you calm down. Lu Chiye turned his gaze to Shen Fengxing.

Shen Fengxing took a deep breath and told the situation as it was, and Ji Feifan added beside him.

After listening, even Qiu Yan was rarely silent.

Unexpectedly, when arranging for Shen Fengxing and them to negotiate in the past, the Qiu County Order, who made her feel a little loyal and honest, actually brazenly proposed with Cao Xinfeng that before doing business, she had to make them happy.

The two of them are not stupid, and they know that after the official construction of Qiguang Mansion, they will get more and more benefits.

Therefore, when they do business with the people in the vicinity, they must take enough kickbacks, and even not let go of every payment, and all the bills have to go from the government.

"Wait, did I hear me wrong?" After listening to what the two said, Lu Chiye dug out his ears, his face full of disbelief.

"We were ordered to build Qiguang Mansion, and we have helped them a lot, and we are responsible for building roads and carrying out express delivery, they don't have anything to worry about at all, why should they get so many kickbacks?"

"Brother, I thought so too, and I had already told them at the time. But for some reason, the county lady opened her mouth and said that she had to prepare enough money for them. ”

"Otherwise, I won't agree with you and other merchants to pay for road repairs, and say that you want to suppress our express delivery business, it's too much!"

Seeing that the two of them were so angry that their faces turned red, Qiu Yan was also a little unhappy.

Thinking of the few memories left by the original body, and the extremely disdainful appearance of the county magistrate lady when she saw the county magistrate and the couple that day, a golden light suddenly flashed in her mind.

glanced at Shen Fengxing and them, and took the initiative to ask.

"When you were talking to the county commander and his wife, as the leader, it should be the county magistrate who first proposed this to you, right?"

"Yes, that's her. Madam, that woman's temper is so bad, pungent and unreasonable. ”

"No matter how we talk to her, it doesn't make sense, the whole person is like getting into the eye of money, and I feel that if we don't give her money, the next series will not be able to talk." Ji Feifan complained.

Lu Chiye and the two glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Looking at Shen Fengxing, who still had childishness on his face, he kept muttering angrily, and after hesitating for a moment, he pulled them to sit down in front of him, and said with some embarrassment.

"You probably know who I am."

"That Qiu County Ling is actually my biological father, in fact, my father is not bad, mainly because my mother is too strong."

"And according to what you told me just now, it is estimated that there are certain problems with character, no wonder there are so many difficult requirements for you."

"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do? That county lady has such a bad attitude, we can't blindly get used to it! Building roads was originally a good thing for the benefit of the people, but it turned out that she was used as a tool to collect money, which is too much! ”

Lu Chiye thought about it, held Qiu Yan's hand tightly, and nodded at her.

"Madam, I always think that we do business, on the one hand, to make money for ourselves, and on the other hand, to drive the people around us to get rich together, but not to find guilt for ourselves."

"Since the county order them can't get through, it's better to put it down for the time being."

"Those merchants before, we can step up contact, and now our express delivery and delivery of goods and the like, the name has been played, much better than the previous situation, there is no need to beg them."

"That's right, ma'am, I think so too!" Ji Feifan immediately stood up and said quite confidently.

"Our business is much better now than before! There are also many merchants and villagers who take the initiative to come to us to talk about business, as long as we develop better and better, even the county order will not be able to help us. ”

"Why should we be coerced by them all the time?"

Qiu Yan also thought so, and after the couple discussed it, they quickly left the matter on the county order behind.

Running around every day, all the contacts are merchants who are easier to talk to, and villagers with flexible brains and the like.

With the joint efforts of the two, the business is really developing more and more prosperous, and now it has achieved long-term profits.

However, this Qiguang Mansion is too big.

If you want to drive the express to every street, it is really a big project, and they must live here for a long time.

Lu Chiye thought about it, it was not a problem for them to stay in an inn all the time, so he also took time to find a few houses nearby that could be lived.

Qiu Yan doesn't have high requirements for this, she just thinks it's clean and tidy, and it doesn't matter how big or small.

But Lu Chiye couldn't bear to let Qiu Yan suffer with him, and after running several houses in a row, he deliberately found a three-in, slightly larger house.

I also specially brought a few well-known craftsmen and masons in the neighborhood to discuss with them about renovating the house.

After the discussion was completed, he arranged for those craftsmen to go back to prepare the materials first, and held hands with Qiu Yan to carefully inspect the whole house.

Qiu Yan looked at it and was quite satisfied with the structure of this house.

At least it covers a fairly large area, and the previous owner should have been a vassal and elegant person.

Ponds, pavilions and the like are all available.

It's just that because it has fallen into disrepair and no one lives in it, the weeds in the yard grow relatively tall.

But if you clean it up, it's still a pretty good yard.

After everything was observed, he sat down with Lu Chiye and made a transformation drawing in a simple and modern style that he liked.

Originally, Lu Chiye's hands-on ability was particularly strong, and he improved it on the drawings drawn by Qiu Yan, and soon made specific transformation measures.

After reading it, Qiu Yan couldn't help but clap her palms and praise.

"It's still a great husband, after we renovate and renovate this house, it will definitely be much more beautiful than before. Maybe it can become a vane for the decoration of this neighborhood in the future. ”

"yes." In Lu Chiye's mind, an idea of doing business once again came to mind.

"When we have more money in our hands, it is not impossible to start the home renovation project, but it will take a long time, don't worry, let's get our own yard done first."

Qiu Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Soon, the craftsmen began to work on the renovation of the house.

Qiuyan and the others also specially hired some villagers from poor families to help clear weeds and tidy up sundries for them.

Under the work of many people day and night, the whole house was renovated in just half a month.

Because of the use of some modern elements, even the walls and the like, are made of relatively clear and beautiful colors, which makes people feel suddenly open as soon as they enter the door.

I feel that the whole house is wide and always bright, which is completely different from the vermilion walls, and exudes a fresh and natural atmosphere.

Now that they have decided to move to a new house, Qiu Yan and the others naturally have to prepare for the stove.

also specially invited Su Che over and invited him to have a warm pot meal together.

When Su Che came in with the family behind him, as soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by the green plants at the gate of the courtyard.

The further you go inside, the more amazing you become.

The cloister of this pavilion, including the planting of flowers and plants and the painting of the walls, all reveal exquisite and small.

However, it is completely different from the more popular decoration style in Qiguang Mansion today.

After walking to the inner hall, looking at a large round table on the table, there was actually a thing on it that was one inch higher, and the food could be placed on it to rotate, Su Che was quite interested in this design.

After sitting at the table, he couldn't help but turn excitedly for a while, looking at the two with a smile on his face.

"Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, your house is really beautiful! I've never seen this kind of decoration before, it's very unique. ”

"Yes, we've all done it in the style we love. If you have time in the future, you can come as a guest. ”

Qiu Yan arranged for the maid to bring him a carefully prepared fruit tea, and after Su Che took a sip, he praised it even more.

Just when a few people were chatting, Qiu Yan and their specially customized furniture were also sent over.

These include carved beds, which are softer and lower than they are now, footrests, simple sofas filled with plenty of cotton, and small stools.

After Su Che felt the benefits of this soft sofa, he was reluctant to get up, and looked at Lu Chiye with a starry face.

"Master Lu, where are you making all this furniture? It's so convenient, this sofa is quite suitable for receiving guests. ”

"If my grandfathers knew that there were such useful things, I guess they wouldn't be happy to be crooked on the couch every day."
