Today's villages don't have much planning. Everyone builds a house based on their mood. Generally, they just find an open space and build it if they think it's suitable.
Therefore, the houses in the village have no plan at all, are neither neat nor beautiful, nor have any regularity.
Many alleys have twists and turns. The only one that is straight is the main road in the village.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether it looks beautiful or not, and besides, I don't have the ability to fix it now.
It's better to think carefully about where you can get a piece of land and build yourself a decent yard.
My current house is on the outskirts of the village, so if I want to build another one, it's best to move inward. This will also give Cui Hongyu and Qiao'er a greater sense of security.
After thinking about it over and over again, Chen Xiaobei thought of a place. With this idea, he hurried to find Lidong.
After listening to his thoughts, Lidong thought for a long time and said, "Hey, Hetou Village is not big. If you want to live there, it's really hard to find a place."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "Isn't there an empty space in front of our ancestor's house? How about I clear it out?"
Upon hearing this, Lidong immediately shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no, no, that place is definitely not okay."
"Why? Isn't there no one living in that place?"
Lidong sighed, "No one lives there, have you forgotten? The original family in that place had only three generations, and later became childless. The people were gone, and the home was desolate. It was unlucky, unlucky, and unlucky.
Very.”
Chen Xiaobei laughed and thought to himself, what am I afraid of?
How can I care about these things when I travel to such a poor place?
"It's okay, it's settled. You can bring people to clean it out for me later and build the house as soon as possible. By the way, I'll give you the labor and material money later."
While they were talking, Chen Xiaowen came back with Yang Zhi.
As soon as he saw Chen Xiaobei, Yang Zhi expressed his thanks again, "Brother Xiaobei, thank you so much. The place is very spacious. It's perfect for us to live there together."
"By the way, can you help find some craftsmen to build us a few houses as soon as possible?"
Chen Xiaobei took a look and said it was the beginning of winter.
Lidong immediately said with a smile, "Brother Yang, you are right to find me. Summer is the slack time for farming, and there is a lot of labor in the village. Don't worry, I will build your house for you in less than half a month!"
Yang Zhi took out a silver note from his sleeve, it was five hundred taels.
"I'll give you this money first, use good materials, don't be stingy about the wages, be sure to hire the best craftsmen."
Lidong was a little surprised when he saw it. Five hundred taels, how big a yard would be needed to build?
Yang Zhi was stunned when he saw Lidong, thinking that the silver was not enough, so he reached out and wanted to take out more, but was stopped by Lidong, "Brother Yang, you'd better send someone to tell me first, where are we going to build? How big is the building, and the money is enough?"
not enough."
Yang Zhi then patted his forehead in embarrassment, "Hey, look at me, I forgot all these things in a hurry. Come on, let's go now."
Just when Yang Zhi took Lidong and Chen Xiaowen to the four acres of land again.
Da Laohei appeared in Xiaojia Town with Yang Chun.
The two came to a separate yard on the roadside.
Yang Chun stepped forward and gently clicked the knocker on the courtyard door.
It didn't take much effort, and it just made a squeaking sound.
One door was only half open, and Xiao Cui poked her head out to look at Yang Chun.
"Oh, isn't this brother Yang Chun? Please come in quickly."
Yang Chun did not go in, but stepped to the side. Only then did Xiao Cuier look up and saw that Big Lao Hei not far away was smiling at him.
"Oh, the leader of the village is here. I'm sorry, please come in."
As he spoke, Xiaocui stepped forward and took the reins from Da Laohei's hand.
Da Laohei laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Cui's face.
Xiao Cui'er didn't show any sign of anger, she just said in a deep voice, "The buyer has arrived and is in the main house. You two can go in."
The boss Hei nodded, walked up to Yang Chun and entered the yard.
Arriving in front of the main house, Da Laohei raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.
"Come in." There was a pleasant female voice in the room.
Upon hearing this movement, Da Laohei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He raised his hand and gently pushed open the door. The light in the room was a little dark. After getting used to it for a while, he saw clearly that there was a woman sitting on the main seat.
Yes, it can only be said that she is a woman, because her face is covered with white gauze and her appearance cannot be clearly seen. Naturally, her age cannot be seen. The only thing that can be seen clearly is that she may have a very good figure.
Da Laohei laughed and sat down directly in the guest seat without being polite to the other party.
"Have you brought anything?" the woman got straight to the point.
Da Laohei raised his hand, and Yang Chun carefully took out a piece of cowhide that was only as big as a palm from his arms.
Da Laohei took it, held it in his palm, slowly placed it on the table, and then pushed it in front of the woman, "Please take a look."
The woman picked up the piece of cowhide, looked at it carefully, and looked at Da Laohei with a surprised look on her face, "Why is it so small? The painting is incomplete."
Da Laohei smiled slightly and said, "Master Lianhua has a good eye. This is just the first step into the mountain. Please go and inspect the goods first."
The Lotus Master suddenly burst into laughter.
The laughter was so high-pitched and powerful that it made the ashes on the roof beams flutter and fall down.
This is completely different from the soft and frail look she had just now.
"Since you know my identity, I don't think you will lie to me."
As he spoke, the Lotus Master took out a banknote from his sleeve and put it on the table.
Five thousand taels of silver.
Seeing this number, Da Laohei almost shed tears at the corner of his mouth.
If Chen Xiaobei knew about it, his intestines would probably turn green.
He has also entered Qingniu Mountain, and people have reached the top of the mountain. They have suffered hardships and suffered sins.
But this old man, Hei, can exchange five thousand taels of silver for just drawing a picture, but he has no hair at all.
Da Laohei put away the banknotes, and then took out a folded cowhide from his arms.
Gently pushing the cowhide in front of the Lotus Leader, "Please forgive me for talking too much, I don't know what the leader does with this picture!"
The Lotus Master smiled slightly and said, "Since you know you are talkative, you shouldn't ask."
Well, Da Laohei smiled awkwardly, stood up, and hugged the woman with a fist, "In that case, let's meet again later."
Lao Hei and Yang Chun left, and Xiao Cui walked in.
Xiao Cui'er bowed to the Lotus Leader, "Leader, now that the matter is done, can I withdraw as well?"
The Lotus Master shook his head, "You can't leave yet. No one knows your true identity now. People of all kinds will come here to trade information. This is a channel for us to understand the movements of the Imperial Master Sun Yuliang and the Crown Prince."
Xiaocui paused and bowed slightly, "I understand, I didn't think carefully."
"You don't have to blame yourself, you have done a good job. By the way, before I came, Her Royal Highness the Princess specifically said that we must find a way to stir up the conflict between the Crown Prince and the Imperial Master, so that Her Royal Highness can take advantage of the chaos to take action.
