Chapter 60
Su Lian got the title deed, so she wanted to go to Yanheng's other courtyard and discuss with the craftsmen about building a house.

She and Zhang Jianshan walked halfway and met Yan Heng.Su Lian told Yan Heng about the preparation of the new house, and Yan Heng was also overjoyed, patted his chest and promised that the craftsmen would make the new house beautiful for Zhang Jianshan and his wife according to the standards of the family mansion.

The three of them went to the construction site of the other courtyard together. Yan Heng found the foreman and personally explained that he must repair the new house of the Zhang family so that the new house of the Zhang family and his other courtyard would be completed at the same time.

Su Lian talked with Yan Heng about the salary. Yan Heng wanted to help her repair the house for free, but Zhang Jianshan refused to resign, so Su Lian had to pay according to the price.

The three found an open space next to the construction site to set up a square table. The foreman brought an abacus, and Su Lian was in charge of calculating the quotation.

Yan Heng's grandfather's family is a family of merchants in Yangzhou, and his biological mother is also good at financial management, but this is the first time he has seen someone who can set the abacus so smoothly.I saw Mrs. Su flicking her spring green onion fingers again and again, the abacus seemed to come to life, and the thunderbolt was bouncing lively, making the clear and crisp sound of big pearls and small pearls falling into the jade plate.The foreman stood at the side with his hands down and reported the price, quantity, labor cost, and working hours of each material. Every item was calculated by Mrs. Su as soon as the words were finished.

Zhang Jianshan just agreed to let his wife take charge of the house at noon, and his wife showed him a hand in the next afternoon.As soon as her little hand touched the abacus, her whole expression changed, and her aura became extremely powerful.

Is she really just talented?Zhang Jianshan couldn't help becoming suspicious again.

Su Lian's accounts were calculated clearly, a lot of what should be given, and not even a penny of the cost that should be diluted.The foreman stood aside in admiration, raised his thumbs up and said, "Young lady's abacus skill, I really admire it!"

"It's not just admiration, it's simply amazing!" Yan Heng sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Su Lian was happy in her heart, and said with a slight smile: "It's just a small skill, it doesn't deserve such praise from Master Yan."

It was agreed at the moment that the total amount of wages and building materials was 32 taels of silver, which was drawn from the twelve taels of gold deposited in the bank.

Su Lian was thinking about the matter entrusted to Yan Heng, so she found an excuse to dismiss Zhang Jianshan.Before she could ask, Yan Heng said: "Wending already ordered someone to handle the matter that my lady told Wending yesterday. Then Zhao Yan is indeed living in Xiliu Lane. He just took out the principal and interest yesterday. The person told him about the new way, and he immediately found someone to report to his wife's aunt. That aunt Zhao is also a greedy person. She heard that there are [-]% profits, and that many wives put interest money here. Glad to put all the money in."

The fish took a bite.Su Lian nodded, and said: "Next month, I will take care of Zhao Yan myself, and I will trouble the young master to arrange a meeting place." Immediately, he explained the details of the meeting and the arrangement of the location to Yan Heng.

After a while, Zhang Jianshan came back.Su Lian smiled and said: "Brother Jianshan, thanks to Master Yan who spread the cost of building a new house for us, otherwise we may not be able to build a new house even if we spend 50 taels of silver. Please come to our house for dinner tonight, Lianer Fry a few side dishes and serve wine to Brother Jianshan and Yan Dadong's family."

Zhang Jianshan said with a smile: "Of course it's good, but Lian'er has to work hard again."

"You can live in a new home, what are you afraid of if you work harder?" Su Lian was overjoyed, thinking that after the new year, she could move into her new home, no longer have to cook in the main room, and could sleep separately...

She forgot about this floor. There will be more rooms by then, how should they be allocated?Will Zhang Jianshan propose to consummate the house with her?

She decided to ignore so much for the time being, and the soldiers will come to cover up the water and soil, and then talk about it later.

In the evening, Su Lian was in a good mood, and made some delicious dishes for Zhang Jianshan and Yan Heng to drink.The men wanted to drink, and Su Lian thought they were noisy, so she took Aji to the Wang's next door to talk to Ergou his mother.

On this side, Yan Heng was full of praise for Mrs. Su's craftsmanship, and bluntly envied Zhang Jianshan for marrying a good wife.

Zhang Jianshan smiled faintly, and asked, "Did Mr. Yan's family ever get married?"

Yan Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled resentfully: "I'm married. My wife thinks it's too hard for me to travel all over the country to do business, so I stay in the capital and don't want to come out."

But Zhang Jianshan heard that Yan Heng married a concubine from Shaoqing's family in Taichang Temple, and the two had no heirs yet.After the woman learned that he had no hope of winning the title and was kicked out, she occupied his house and squandered his property while looking for another good relationship.I don't know if he knew about it or not.

"You and I haven't known each other for a day or two. When you see the mountain, you don't have to be called Big Boss and Big Boss all the time. I'll be called Wending in small characters, so let's call it Wending from now on!" Yan Heng said.

Zhang Jianshan smiled lightly: "Wending, you say you envy me, so I envy brother Wending."

"Envy me? I'm just a bastard who has not settled down in the capital. I don't know what to see. A bastard is not as good as a dog!" Yan Heng raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

"Wending's words seem to be sarcasm. If you are still like this, what are we waiting for Shengdou? Is it not as good as an ant?" Zhang Jianshan said with a smile, "My lady is in trouble, and I can't help. It's better to say that Dadong's family is rich. Youshi, oh, I mean the house."

Yan Heng looked at Zhang Jianshan and always felt that his smile at the moment had a different meaning.

From the first time they met, he didn't really regard Zhang Jianshan as an ordinary mountain villager.At first, he always felt that he seemed to have seen Zhang Jianshan somewhere.Secondly, if he can subdue such a powerful lady Su, how can this man be an idler.Just as he looked at gold like dung that day and only took one or two grains of silver, he knew that this person was not simple.

At this time, he suddenly mentioned that his wife was in trouble and asked Yan Heng for help. Did he really mean the house?

Yan Heng thought over and over again, put down his wine glass and said, "Miss Su did encounter a little difficulty. She went to the city yesterday and asked me to do something, and asked me to keep it secret for her. This matter must be done well, but... It's impossible to hide it from you for her. Otherwise, even though this matter is done, if it causes a rift between you and your husband, it will really be a mess."

What Yan Heng said was from the bottom of his heart.After Su Lian left yesterday, he thought about it repeatedly.It is easy to do things, but it is difficult to be a human being.If Zhang Jianshan kept that matter completely hidden from him, he would definitely find out in the future, and it would be difficult to deal with it by then.He Yanheng has a clear conscience and is not afraid of being criticized by others, but he must never ruin other people's good marriages.

Zhang Jianshan held the wine glass in his hand, looked at the wine in the glass indifferently, and asked with a smile: "Oh, is that so? Lian'er is causing trouble for Wending again?"

Looking at Zhang Jianshan's smile, Yan Heng always felt that he already knew, so he immediately told him the whole story.
