Nowadays, there is no planning in the village. Everyone builds a house based on their mood. Generally, they just find an open space and build it if they think it is suitable.
Therefore, the houses in the village have no standards at all. They are neither neat nor beautiful, nor have any regularity.
Many alleys have twists and turns. The only one that is straight is the main road in the village.
Of course, it doesn't matter to Chen Xiaobei whether it's beautiful or not, and besides, he doesn't have the ability to take care of it now.
For him, the top priority was to think about where he could get a piece of land and build himself a decent yard.
My current house is on the outskirts of the village, so if I want to build another one, it's best to go further in. This can also give Cui Hongyu and Qiaoer a greater sense of security.
After thinking about it over and over again, Chen Xiaobei thought of a place. With this idea, he hurried to find Lidong.
Lidong listened to his thoughts. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Hey, Hetou Village is not big. If you want to live there, it's really hard to find a place."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "Isn't there an empty space in front of our ancestor's house? How about I clear it out?"
Upon hearing this, Lidong immediately shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no, no, that place is definitely not okay."
"Why? Isn't there no one living in that place?"
Lidong sighed, "No one lives there, have you forgotten? The original family in that place was also our grandfather's generation. It was passed down for three generations, and then there were no children. The people were gone, and the home was deserted. Where It’s unlucky, unlucky, and very unlucky.”
Chen Xiaobei laughed and thought to himself, what am I afraid of?
When you travel to such a poor place, how can you care about these things?
"It's okay, it's settled. You can bring people to clean it out for me later and build the house as soon as possible. By the way, I'll give you the labor and material money later."
While they were talking, Chen Xiaowen came back with Yang Zhi.
As soon as he saw Chen Xiaobei, Yang Zhi expressed his thanks again, "Brother Xiaobei, thank you so much. The place is very spacious. It's perfect for us to live there together."
"By the way, can you help find some craftsmen to build us a few houses as soon as possible?"
Chen Xiaobei glanced at Lidong.
Lidong immediately smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you are right to find me. Summer is the slack time for farming, and there is a lot of labor in the village. Don't worry, I will build your house for you in less than half a month!"
Yang Zhi took out a silver note from his sleeve, it was five hundred taels.
"I'll give you this money first. Use good materials. Don't be stingy about the wages. You must hire the best craftsmen."
Lidong was a little surprised when he saw it, five hundred taels, how big a yard would we have to build?
Yang Zhi was stunned when he saw Lidong, thinking that the silver was not enough, so he stretched out his hand to take out more, but was stopped by Lidong, "Brother Yang, you'd better send someone to tell me first, where are we going to build? How big is the building, and the money is enough?" not enough."
Yang Zhi then patted his forehead in embarrassment, "Hey, look at me, I forgot all these things in a hurry. Come on, let's go now."
Just when Yang Zhi took Lidong and Chen Xiaowen to the four acres of land again.
Da Laohei appeared in Xiaojia Town with Yang Chun.
The two drove a donkey cart to a separate yard on the roadside.
Yang Chun stepped forward and gently clicked the knocker on the courtyard door.
It didn't take much effort, and it made a squeaking sound.
One door was only half open, and Xiao Cui stuck her head out to look at Yang Chun.
"Oh, isn't this brother Yang Chun? Please come in quickly."
Yang Chun didn't go in, but stepped to the side. Only then did Xiao Cuier look up and saw Big Lao Hei not far away smiling at him.
"Oh, the leader of the village is here. I'm sorry, please come in."
As he spoke, Xiaocui stepped forward and took the reins from Da Laohei's hand.
Da Laohei laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Cui's face.
Xiao Cui'er didn't show any sign of anger, she just said in a deep voice, "The buyer has arrived and is in the main house. You two can go in."
Da Laohei nodded and entered the yard with Yang Chun.
Arriving in front of the main room, Da Laohei raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.
"Come in." There was a pleasant female voice in the room.
Upon hearing this movement, Da Laohei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He raised his hand and gently pushed open the door. The light in the room was a little dark. After getting used to it for a while, he saw clearly that there was a woman sitting on the main seat.
Yes, it can only be said that she is a woman, because her face is covered with white gauze and her appearance cannot be clearly seen. Naturally, her age cannot be seen. The only thing that can be seen clearly is that she may have a very good figure.
Da Laohei laughed and sat down directly in the guest seat without being polite to the other party.
"Have you brought anything?" The woman got straight to the point.
Da Laohei raised his hand, and Yang Chun carefully took out a piece of cowhide that was only as big as a palm from his arms.
Da Laohei took it, held it in his palm, slowly placed it on the table, and then pushed it in front of the woman, "Please take a look."
The woman picked up the piece of cowhide, looked at it carefully, and looked at Da Laohei in surprise, "Why is it so small? The painting is incomplete."
Da Laohei smiled slightly, "Master Lianhua has a good eye. This is just the first step into the mountain. Please go and inspect the goods first."
The leader of Lotus Flower suddenly burst into laughter.
The laughter was so high-pitched and powerful that the ashes on the beams of the house fluttered and fell down.
This is completely different from the soft and frail look she had just now.
"Since you know my identity, I don't think you will lie to me."
As he spoke, the Lotus Master took out a banknote from his sleeve and put it on the table.
Five thousand taels of silver.
Seeing this number, Da Laohei almost shed tears.
If Chen Xiaobei knew about it, his intestines would probably turn green.
He also entered Qingniu Mountain, and people also reached the top of the mountain, suffering hardships and suffering.
But this old man, Hei, can exchange five thousand taels of silver for just drawing a picture, but he has no hair at all.
Da Laohei put away the banknotes, and then took out a folded cowhide from his arms.
Then, he gently pushed the cowhide in front of the Lotus Leader, "Please forgive me for talking too much, but I don't know what the leader does with this picture!"
The Lotus Master smiled slightly, "Since you know you are talkative, you shouldn't ask."
Well, Da Laohei smiled awkwardly, stood up, and hugged the woman with a fist, "In that case, let's meet again later."
Lao Hei and Yang Chun left, and Xiao Cui walked in.
Xiao Cui'er bowed to the Lotus Leader, "Leader, now that the matter is done, can I withdraw as well?"
Leader Lotus shook his head, "You can't leave yet. No one knows your true identity now. People of all kinds will come here to trade information. This is a channel for us to understand the movements of Sun Yuliang, the master of the country, and the prince."
Xiaocui paused and bowed slightly, "I understand, I didn't think carefully."
"You don't have to blame yourself. You've done a good job. By the way, before I came, Her Royal Highness the Princess specifically said that we must find a way to provoke a conflict between the Crown Prince and the Imperial Master, so that Her Royal Highness can take advantage of the chaos to take action. "
