Chapter 48: Preparation for the Construction of Siheyuan



After Lin Ximan left, Rong Jingchen was also waiting. He wanted to see if Lin Ximan was on Minister Liao's side. When he arrested Zhang Zhenhua before, he knew that Lin Ximan was not a spy from Country M. If Country R was ruled out, then her problem would be much smaller.

Forgive him for being suspicious. Although he likes Lin Ximan, Lin Ximan has too many loopholes. She is skilled in martial arts, smart and courageous, and has a superb makeup technique.

Everything was normal before the age of 13, but his personality changed drastically after his parents passed away. Not only did he snatch back his house, but the old lady of the Song family mysteriously disappeared the next day.

The second year after learning of his mother's death, Song Lianqing also disappeared. Rong Jingchen didn't believe that she had nothing to do with this, but there was no evidence, and to this day the bodies of the two have not been found.

Before the age of 13, Lin Hongmei's academic performance was average, but after taking a year off from school, her grades soared. It was incredible that she was able to skip a grade while still being full-time.

However, through investigation he was sure that this person had not changed, and his appearance was still the same. With current technology, it is impossible to perform plastic surgery on a child to look like another one, because children grow up.

The possibility of Li Dai Tao Jiang being used as a substitute has been ruled out, so the key point is what happened to her after she was kicked out of the house by Old Lady Song. This is also the easiest thing to check.

Lin Ximan doesn’t care how Rong Jingchen is doing here. She is still concerned about which province she is going to this time.

Just like that, more than ten days later, she got on the train to Kyoto again. She wanted to go directly to her destination, but in fact it was not allowed!

She could only sit in Kyoto and tell Zhao Kui to wait for her call at a fixed time and place one month later, and then she went to the west with peace of mind.

This time I have visited all the provinces that I missed before. I will not go further west. The land there is vast and the population is sparse, so I can't make much money. This time I came out mainly to find and fill in the gaps.

After visiting all the provinces in the west, she returned to Jizhou Province. She didn't visit many cities here last time, so she would make up for it this time. It happened to be close to Kyoto, so she could go there directly if she had anything to do.

Two months later, Zhao Kui reported that the house had been cleaned and only the finishing touches were left, so he asked her to go back and see how the house should be decorated.

As for how to decorate the courtyard house, she had some idea in her mind. The appearance must not be changed, otherwise the original flavor of the house would be lost. The main decoration should be the interior.

After returning to Kyoto, she first found a place for herself to live, put her things away, and then rushed to her home in Kyoto without stopping.

A group of people have almost finished cleaning up the house near the Imperial City, and they can officially start repairing the house in the next few days.

When the workers in the house saw a fairy-like girl coming in, someone came forward to ask, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"I'm the owner of the house. Is Zhao Kui here? Or is your boss here?"

"Brother Zhao is at another house. The demolition hasn't been completed yet. The person in charge is here. Please wait a moment." When the young man who asked the question heard that it was the owner of the house, his tone of voice became much better.

"Go find your boss, and then find Zhao Kui, and tell him that Miss Lin is back."

"well"

Xiao Qingqing turned around happily to look for someone, and Lin Ximan started to look around her future house. Now that the extra houses have been demolished, this house is somewhat worth seeing. However, the mottled walls and the dilapidated house made her feel a little lonely.

This house seems to have been glorious in the past. It looks grand and spacious overall. Unlike some houses which only have length but no width, this house has both length and width.

When she strolled to the third courtyard, the young man came over with a master in his fifties. When he saw Lin Ximan, he turned to the master and said, "Master, she said she is the boss."

The old master nodded and said, "I understand. Go find Zhao Kui and ride my bike. Hurry up."

"Oh" the young man happily responded and left when he heard that he could ride a bike.

"Miss Lin," the master called out tentatively.

Lin Ximan has never been used to being called Miss Lin. It always makes her feel like she has traveled into the Dream of the Red Chamber and become Lin Daiyu.

"Hello, Master. I'm Lin Ximan, the owner of this house. You can just call me Xiao Lin. How about Master?"

"My last name is Wang, and everyone calls me Wangtou."

"Hello, Master Wang. I see that the house has been almost demolished. Can we start the renovation now?" Lin Ximan chatted with Master Wang while walking around the courtyard with five entrances.

She went into every room and looked carefully, measuring the length, width, doors, and windows of the house, and took photos. She used a Polaroid camera, which is much cheaper nowadays, and she collected a lot of it when she collected things.

There is a container of goods at the port. The reason why it is not sold now is that it looks too fancy. She dare not sell it and will wait until next year or the year after.

The back room was a two-story building, a proper embroidery building, which matched the two-story building in the second courtyard. She went up to the second floor and looked forward from the eaves of the corridor, and she could get a general idea of the whole house.

The two returned to the Chuihua Gate, and Zhao Kui just happened to walk in. Seeing her, he hurried forward to greet her: "Miss, you are back, how is this courtyard?"

"Very good, you did a good job. We'll talk about it later. I'll talk to Master Wang about the decoration of the house first."

"Okay." Zhao Kui has changed a lot in the past two months. He is no longer the second-rate guy he was at the beginning. He looks more serious now.

Lin Ximan turned to Master Wang and said, "I have some requirements for the decoration of the house. I wonder if Master Wang has any ideas so we can communicate and learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses." After saying that, she took out a piece of paper from her bag, on which was written some plans she had summarized based on the courtyard in the future.
