Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Said and smiled: "I and Bitao are like sisters. They can\'t be counted as men\'s side. Listen to this, I\'m not wronged!"

All three laughed.

I found a middle-aged man and looked after the house very soon.

Lian Fangzhou chose three of them and ordered them to take Mrs. Zhang and Bitao to see them together with steward Qian. Finally, he decided to enter a house with a small courtyard and a small garden of more than one mu in Huaihua alley.

The main room is divided into five rooms with two entrances, which are connected with a slightly shorter ear room on the left and right. There are East and West rooms on both sides. The former courtyard passes through the hall and enters the hanging flower gate, and there are two reading corridors on both sides which are connected with the main room through the East-West wing room. In the front yard, there are main hall, side hall, external study, inverted seat and back cover.

The kitchen is located in the weeping flower gate. It is reserved for the servants in the yard and the servants in the duster. The servant girls live in the back cover. One or two rooms of family can be arranged in the small cross yard nearby.

The horse shed and sundry warehouse are arranged in another small cross hospital. There is a place in the garden for Xiao Mu to practice martial arts.

This courtyard is not small, but it\'s not big. The two of them and eight or nine servants just live full.

The house is made of blue bricks, the beams and columns are OK, the foundation is very solid, and the gutter and gutter to dredge the rain is also reasonably designed, but all the doors and windows have to be replaced, and the tiles on the roof have to be picked up.

The floor tiles in the yard are also loose. Under the wall are either moss or vines and weeds.

In addition to weeds such as Dogtail grass, there are some petunias involving vines in the garden. Sometimes there are several wild trees with a copper thickness of one or two meters.

In the northeast corner, a bunch of pink roses are in full bloom. They are charming and beautiful. In this mess, they are lonely and lonely.

Rao is such a house. It will cost thirteen thousand liang of silver to buy it.

Weighing and comparing again and again, green peach is too expensive. It\'s Mrs. Zhang who decides this place.

The house is finished, and then it\'s repaired, like the warehouse and the horse shed, which have to be demolished and rebuilt.

Fortunately, there are enough people. Steward Qian is familiar with it again. He has arranged it skillfully. Half a month later, it has changed a lot!

This item cost another six thousand silver.

After that, Lian Fangzhou asked Xiao Mu and Bitao for a talk.

When this pattern is completed, they have to see how to arrange the details, such as what flowers and trees should be planted in the garden, how to distribute the layout, whether to build a pavilion, whether to store a pool, what colors and patterns should be used for the curtains and curtains of each room, how to arrange tables and chairs, how to design the screen frames, how to arrange the study, how to arrange the bedrooms, etc. after all, they will have to see to it. After all, it will be him in the future People live. No matter how well others do it, it may not accord with their wishes.

Xiao Mu still said: "green peach is satisfied!"

Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, "yes! I asked you. If you are not satisfied, you can change it yourself. Don\'t blame me! Then I\'ll talk to Bitao! If you have more than 30000 liang of silver left here, I\'ll give it all to you. If it\'s not enough, I\'ll help you pad it first, or will you pick some things and sell them to me? "

Xiao Mu can\'t help being happy! Talking to a person like my sister-in-law is pleasant and efficient, and it\'s not sloppy at all.

Then he said with a smile, "please help me to cushion it first! How much do you need to return to my sister-in-law and sell those things! "

Lian Fangzhou smiled and nodded.

Another way: "it\'s time for you to prepare the bride price. If you need our help, just say it.". There\'s no place to put things back when I buy them. It\'s nothing to put them in our house first! I asked steward Qian to clean up a room and come out. "

Xiao Mu said thanks with a smile.

Bitao and Mrs. Zhang listened to Lian Fangzhou\'s words. Of course, the place they lived in was more agreeable, so they smiled.

Even Fang Chau didn\'t interfere in this matter. He said he would come to see her if he wanted help.

After all, there are housekeepers, stewardesses and servants in Zhangjia. Mrs. Zhang doesn\'t know nothing about it. She is required to intervene in everything?

For Lian Fangzhou, it\'s a big achievement.

When buying furniture, Bitao habitually wants to hear Lian Fangzhou\'s opinion and ask her.

Fortunately, I didn\'t get confused and finally thought of my mother!

If I go to ask my former master over my mother, I don\'t know how sad she will be!

The layout of the small garden in the backyard is stacked. Neither Bitao nor Mrs. Zhang can understand it. Mr. Zhang is a rude person, not to speak of it.

Mother and daughter went to Li\'s mansion specially.

Lian Fangzhou discussed with them and left them for lunch at home. In the afternoon, he asked an old craftsman to come here. He asked the craftsman about the idea of discussion one by one and adjusted it slightly. It was almost settled.

Mrs. Zhang and Bitao saw that the craftsman looked quite honest, and said that they were right. They decided on the spot to let him take charge of it.

Later, after the small garden was repaired, Lian Fangzhou went to see it again. The rockery is located in the middle of two-thirds of the whole garden. The half covered and half exposed part roughly divides the whole garden into two parts.

The foot of the rockery is densely planted for the Spring Festival. Soft strips of paper arc down to the ground. There are red, white and yellow climbing roses and mountain tigers climbing the rockery. There are two crape myrtle trees on one side.

It can be seen that with the help of mind, the rose can bloom early in the spring, from April to the end of June, the rose is falling, the crape myrtle is blooming again, and it is not lonely for half a year.

Looking over the rockery, you can see the cornice Pavilion corner. On the other side of the rockery, there is a generous and simple Square Pavilion, surrounded by a chiseled pool, in which water lilies are planted and carp are raised.

In front of the Square Pavilion is a rectangular flat ground paved with square green bricks. There are bluestone roads connecting other places.

Two osmanthus trees were planted on both sides, and two or three clusters of peonies were planted in front of fangting terrace.

Along the flower fence made by Gao Fusang, half of the people in the area, the bluestone road leads to the front. Along the way, there are magnolia, pomegranate, rose, Begonia, plum blossom, etc. planted. The density is appropriate and just right.

To the south of the garden, there is a lawn, on which two purple locust trees are planted. To the north, there are three or four peach and apricot pear trees scattered. The place where Xiao Mu practices his kung fu is next to the gate connecting the backyard and the garden. When he enters the gate, there is a stream of green bamboo.

The layout of the whole garden is ingenious. Although it is not big, it is also circuitous. Seeing the scenery step by step, it is neither empty nor crowded. Mrs. Zhang and Bitao are also very satisfied.

Xiao Mu ran to Li\'s mansion diligently again. Even Fang Zhou had to talk to him about the house and the dowry. No one in the mansion didn\'t know about it, and no one didn\'t envy Bitao.

Lian Fangzhou obviously felt that, especially those little girls who were waiting beside him, they were more and more devoted.
