Chapter 519: Building a House, We Need to Find Someone
Now that every family has no shortage of money, Ran Qingxuan gave up the idea of sending food.
Originally I thought it wouldn't be too conspicuous if we transported it back from the dock, but after thinking about it I decided not to take too many risks. After all, it would be difficult to explain how much food was transported.
Qian Lizheng's family was dealt with, and the sound of firecrackers in Yongfeng Village never stopped all day long.
Without people causing trouble, the families were finally able to settle down. Everyone worked with a smile on their face, and the yard and the streets were filled with joy.
After the Marquis of Zhenbei asked indirect questions, County Magistrate Tang made it clear that all the carpenters in the county town were willing to take on the job of building houses.
But he had been turned down when he went to the county town to look for the Zi people before. Ran Qingxuan said he didn't believe that the people he found would honestly build a house for their family.
Who knows, County Magistrate Tang might be up to something bad, so they are not at ease with the people they have sent for.
Fortunately, Gu Yanchen asked Zhao Zihui to take a message, and Zhenbei Hou got it in the air and sent him a letter in the morning.
The content of the letter was to ask him to go to the dock to find someone who would be of great help to their family in building a house.
only……
"I know the man mentioned in the letter from the Marquis of Zhenbei. He was a rare talent in the Ministry of Industry."
"But because of his personality, he offended Concubine Zhong's mother's family and was dismissed from office a few years ago. I didn't expect him to be here."
"What's wrong with my personality? Why did I offend Concubine Zhong's mother's family?"
Gu Yanchen said helplessly: "This man's name is Yang Shuo. After he joined the Ministry of Works, he specialized in building houses for the royal family."
"The houses he built were both beautiful and sturdy, but he had a weird temper and offended many people, both openly and covertly."
"Once, Concubine Zhong asked him to expand the manor for her mother's family. He insisted on using the drawings he provided, saying that it was strong and durable..."
"But Concubine Zhong's mother's family thought it was not beautiful enough and insisted that he build it according to their own requirements."
"Yang Shuo didn't like others interfering with his construction plans, and he didn't fear the emperor's power, so he just quit."
“This is what happened…”
Ran Qingxuan was almost speechless. He had seen stubborn people before, but he had never seen anyone as stubborn as this one.
Even if you are not afraid of imperial power, you still have to act within your means. Only the fittest will survive. Even if you have to change the blueprint, you can still do it.
"Then according to what the Marquis of Zhenbei said, this person is so...special, can we invite him?"
"Let's try and find the person first."
After lunch, the two drove the carriage towards Los Angeles. If they were lucky, they might be able to find someone today.
According to what Gu Yanchen said, Yang Shuo used to build houses for royal relatives, so his ability is naturally beyond doubt. I'm afraid he can be found by just asking around.
Not long after the two men drove the carriage out of the village, they passed by Guo Zhanxi who was in a hurry.
The two had a good impression of this young scholar. Gu Yanchen, who was sitting in the front seat of the car, took the initiative to greet him.
"Guo Xiaoxiucai, where are you going?"
Guo Zhanxi turned around and saw that the person talking to him was Gu Yanchen, and immediately grinned.
"So you are the sixth brother of the Gu family. Please stop teasing me by calling me Little Scholar. It's embarrassing. Just call me by my name like the villagers do."
He just heard yesterday that his sister and brother-in-law had separated, and that his sister was diagnosed as pregnant after being beaten, and was treated by the new member of the Gu family.
He also heard that the Gu family was familiar with the soldiers of Beiguan, so before going home, he asked the teacher if he knew which officials with the surname Gu were there in Northern Qi.
The Master was knowledgeable and experienced, and when he heard the Master's question, the first person he thought of was General Gu who was guarding Linxi Pass.
After learning that Gu's family had been ransacked and exiled to Zixi, Guo Zhanxi returned and told the Master what he had said.
The Gu Yanchen in front of him was the former god of war of Northern Qi, His Highness King Chen!
But he also didn't expect why such a brave and respected general who was dedicated to the people would be exiled.
There is limited information about the Master. We only know that his family was exiled, but we don't know the reason.
Although Guo Zhanxi did not understand why the Gu family was exiled, he respected the Gu family members who swore to defend Northern Qi to the death from the bottom of his heart.
His Highness the King of Dust, who once had such a noble status, now showed no airs at all when facing little people like them, which made him admire them even more.
"Brother Gu Liu, I hurried over to write the divorce agreement with the soldier brother for the villagers."
"Originally, the divorce agreement only needed to be checked by the village officials and stamped before it was sent out to be considered a divorce."
"But now there is no village head, and the women in the village cannot wait to go home, so they have to send them to the county government office to have the county magistrate confirm and stamp their seal."
"Can you give me a ride? I want to do it quickly so that the women can go home."
Gu Yanchen patted the place beside him and said, "Come up. We just happened to be going to the dock, so we'll drop you off on the way."
Guo Zhanxi thanked him and sat on the other side of the carriage.
It would take at least half an hour for the carriage to get into the city. Ran Qingxuan thought about finding a place for the children who would be arriving, so he stuck his head out to ask.
"Zhanxi, are there any larger houses in Yongfeng Village?"
Guo Zhanxi didn't expect that there was someone else in the carriage and was suddenly startled by Ran Qingxuan.
Being in close contact with Ran Qingxuan, Guo Zhanxi subconsciously dodged to the side, his cheeks slightly red, which was enough to prove how nervous he was at the moment.
There was no reason for Gu Yanchen to be jealous of a child. After all, everyone knew that his wife was beautiful.
"Zhanxi, my wife is asking you a question!"
"oh oh…"
"There are some larger houses in Yongfeng Village, but they have been abandoned for a long time."
"Where?"
Guo Zhanxi thought the house they were living in was a little small, and said in confusion: "Although your family is large, it would be lonely if you live in a bigger house."
Seeing that he misunderstood, Ran Qingxuan explained: "It's not for us to live here, but I want to find a big house for the children from the Salesian Bureau who are coming soon to live here."
Guo Zhanxi turned his head in a daze, thinking that Ran Qingxuan was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted.
"That doesn't matter. The big house I mentioned belongs to Patriarch Guo. It's at the foot of the mountain where we live."
"Later, because the place was too big and difficult to manage, Chief Guo moved away, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years now."
"Also, opposite the house is a large flat area, where children from the village usually like to play."
The threshing ground in the center of the village was too close to the Qian family. The villagers were afraid that their own children would be bullied by the Qian family’s children if they went there to play, so they only allowed them to play in the open space at the foot of the mountain.
“If there are many children in the Salesian Bureau, I think it would be convenient for them to play if we set up a place there.”
Ran Qingxuan became excited when he heard this: "Then can your clan leader sell the house and the land to me?"
Guo Zhanxi smiled when he heard this and said, "Your family is a great benefactor to both of our tribes. As long as you ask, our tribe leader will definitely sell it to you."
"Then, go back and inform your clan leader later, and we will go to discuss it with him after we finish our work."
After calculating the time, I'm afraid the children will arrive before the Chinese New Year. I don't know how big the place is yet, but she can afford any price...
