Chapter 389 The Liang Family's Help

"Huh." Qi Muyuan was taken aback as soon as he entered the door.

The gate of a general family is a gate, with corridors on both sides, and a long and straight corridor leading directly to the main hall after descending the steps.Trees or flowers are planted on both sides of the corridor, and the corridors on both sides are built along the wall, which can also lead to the main hall by winding left and right, so that you don’t need to be rained when it rains.The whole yard is neat and square.Some people who pay attention to it will at most build a screen wall facing them to block the eyes of passers-by looking in, and also play a feng shui role of "the fat and water will not flow into the field of outsiders".

But in Du Jinning's house, there is an open space several feet square under the gate, and I don't know what to do with it. Behind the open space is a rockery. The rockery is almost as high as the gate, and it is several feet wide. It completely blocks the line of sight when entering.

Yao Shuqi was busy reporting the situation to Du Jinning: "We have a lot of rocky mountains here, and it doesn't take much effort to dig out these rocky mountains and move them here one by one. It's just that the weather is too hot and I don't dare to plant flowers and trees. This one will be done first." Leave it empty, and wait for the weather to cool down for a while before planting some flowers and trees. The water channel in the rockery was built according to your instructions, and the water tower was also built. After it was built, I tried it, and it was really as you said, the water. It can flow down from the top to form a waterfall. Master, your whimsical idea opened the eyes of Mr. Mo and admired him. He also said that after you arrive in Fucheng, master, he will have a good talk with you. If these construction techniques can Give it to him, he will build our yard, and he won’t take any money.”

Du Jinning smiled, noncommittal: "It's fine to talk, let's talk about other things."

Going around the rockery from the right, there is a long corridor built in a row.There is a wall on one side of the promenade, but there is an open space on the other side. Looking from the open space, you can see that many houses have been built one by one, and there is a big deep pit in some places in front of the houses. It looks like There is a pond, but there is neither water nor trees, so the whole space looks very messy.

After walking along the promenade for a while, everyone passed through an arch and walked into an open-air corridor.A lot of open space was also left on both sides of the corridor, and some houses and halls and pavilions were built.

It is like this along the way, there are big pits dug, there are rockery, huge stones, courtyards and pavilions, and walls are built in some places, and stone windows with hollow carvings are installed on the walls, and you can look through from one side to the other side. scenery.

After walking for a while and entering a gate, the houses inside were densely packed, like a courtyard.However, the courtyards are quite apart from each other, and it takes at least half a cup of tea to get to each other.

"Why are these houses built so fast? Are they basically finished?" Du Jinning asked Yao Shuqi upon seeing this.

"Yes. It's all thanks to Young Master Liang." Yao Shuqi said, "When Carpenter Mo and I went to buy wood, we happened to meet Young Master Liang. He knew that you were the one who built the house, so he called their shopkeeper directly. He gave us a very favorable price. I learned that they have a group of people who built the house, so I simply asked the Liang family to do all the wood construction. Master Liang knows that you will stay in Fucheng to study after the hospital exam, and he is afraid that you will come Sometimes there is no place to live, so the shopkeeper asked all the craftsmen to come over and give us priority to do the work. Carpenter Mo and his staff only do the foundation, and the craftsmen of the Liang family are partly dealing with wood and partly building houses. In just a few months, the whole house and the courtyards and pavilions have been completed."

As he spoke, he pointed to a rockery in front of him and said, "These rocks were sold to us by the Liang family and helped to transport them here. Otherwise, we would still have to ask around to buy rocks. Ordinary people build gardens, Although mountain stones are used, the amount is not large, so the craftsmen will not have many mountain stones in their hands. Our consumption is three or four times that of ordinary people. If the Liang family has special channels to purchase mountain stones, we I don’t know how long it will take to get it together.”

"This is a tribute to the great affection of the Liang family." Du Jinning said with emotion.

The houses in this era are all wooden structures. If Mo Jingming's craftsmen were to do it slowly, it would take two or three months to make these houses alone.Now that the craftsmen of the Liang family have made a move, it will naturally be fast.Fix the footing here, and knock the falcon on the other end. As long as there are enough craftsmen, a house can be erected in a few days.

She asked again: "When did Master Liang come back?"

"A month ago."

Du Jinning nodded.

Liang Xiankuan's father was imprisoned in the capital. Although Liang Xiankuan was very concerned, he couldn't help him even if he went to the capital. Moreover, before his father went to prison, he was told to do a good job in scientific research, so he patiently stayed in his hometown. After passing the government test, he went directly to Beijing after the government test.Before going to Beijing, he told Du Jinning that if the situation in Beijing was not good, he might wait for the next college exam before coming back to take the exam; if the situation improved, he would rush back to take the college exam.

Now it seems that the situation of his family should be very good.Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back so early, and he still had time to take care of Du Jinning's matter.

Thinking of what Liang Xiankuan said before, Du Jinning turned his head and asked Qi Muyuan, "Liang Xiankuan has always said that he wants to partner with me to open a teahouse in the capital, and I plan to agree to him. You can also invest in a stock, and then I will call Guan Jiaze into it." It just so happens that Guan Jiaze is going to Beijing, so you can ask him to take care of you when the time comes."

"Okay." Qi Muyuan didn't refuse.

Du Jinning pointed to the garden in front of him again, and confessed his plan: "After the garden is built, I will publicize it in the city. If someone invites me to build a garden for them, I plan to take over the business. When the time comes, I will Make a design for the garden and let Liang Xiankuan's craftsmen build it. Do you want to join in?"

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "I won't participate in this. You don't need any capital to build this, and I can't help you much, and the profits won't be divided at that time. In the future, if you have any good ideas for making money, call me, this one Never mind."

Du Jinning didn't force it, and said, "Okay."

Originally, she also intended to talk to Mo Jingming, to see if they could partner in this garden business.After all, Mo Jingming can understand her designs, which is very rare.When the time comes when she wins the project and asks Mo Jingming to do it, the profits will naturally favor her side.But now that Liang Xiankuan is back, he has helped her a lot, and she has to do this business with the Liang family no matter what the situation is.On Mo Jingming's side, I can only say sorry.

With this thought in her mind, Mo Jingming over there heard the news and rushed over. After entering the door, he saluted Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan respectfully: "The two young masters are here?"

"The progress of the house is very fast. Carpenter Mo has worked hard." Du Jinning returned a salute.
