The grand prince who was also a general now had downgraded to a level only wanting to kiss someone else. If that sovereign person in the impartial city knew this, he’d get so mad and might even implicate the nine generations of his family! Of course, he himself was also among the nine generations…
“Big brother, brother Rui, what are you talking about? What medicine?”
With that pair of curious eyes looking at them, Ling Jingpeng curiously asked. On this kind of thing, he was still too naïve.
“Nothing, you don't need to know.”
He wasn't interested to be his sex enlightenment teacher. As they talked, the carriage stopped at the gate of Xinyuan Restaurant. This time, the three of them all got off, while Song Gengniu was still responsible to watch outside. It was almost noon, and the restaurant reached its peak hour. People kept coming and going, with the waiters’ yo-heave-ho heard from time to time.
“Brother Ling, you are here? Please come upstairs.”
Seeing them from a distance, Shopkeeper Zhang warmly walked to welcome them, took them upstairs while asking the waiter to serve some tea and pastries, and also inform those people he had found for Ling Jingxuan.
Xinyuan Restaurant had a total of three stories. The ground floor belonged to mass consumption. Though the desks and chairs looked grand and luxurious, it was still too tacky. The second floor were all boxes, specially prepared for those rich childes who liked parading their wealth or put emphasis on privacy. Shopkeeper Zhang directly took them to the third floor’s most luxurious VIP room.
“Brother Zhang, would we disturb you?”
As they all sat down, Ling Jingxuan said so politely. Though today was not some big day, the business was not bad. Besides, it was almost noon, as the shopkeeper, he should be quite busy.
“No, it won’t take too much time. I knew you’d come today, so as I came back, I contacted the heads of that few construction teams. They’ll be here soon. You know, they are all pretty good. You can see all of them. as for which team you’d choose, it’s up to you.”
“Hmm, thank you then. To tell you the truth, today I bought some people from Guarantor Liu today. I meant to build part of it, and slowly complete it. But now it’s not enough. So I am thinking, anyhow I’ll build it sooner or later, why not finish it at a time? If they are all not bad, then I’ll hire them all. Each team is responsible for one part, which will make it faster.”
Actually he had already made up his mind in the carriage. Seen from now, the biggest project should be the main house and the walls. The main house was for them to live in. Needless to say, it should be the best. Actually before he went out this morning, he had already done with the architectural drawing. He meant to hand it to any team who could do it. As for the walls, it had not much technical content, just covered large areas. He planned to build walls from Yuehua ditch on the east to the foot of Xiaogong Mountain, in case his unbelievable family came to disturb him again. As for the back, there was no need for the walls. Nothing would be safer than the natural barrier Yuehua Mountain. Those uncivilized villagers might not know. How could he not know? Those beast deep mountains wouldn’t come down, in case there was some kind of horrible disasters or what.
The most important thing is, he had the Crescent Spring in hand, so he was not afraid even if those beasts came down. According to his observation and confirmation recently, The Crescent Spring not only worked on the growing of plants, but also was attractive to animals. Take the two wolflings. They’d howl at him every time they saw him. Only when he went to feed them water, they not only stayed quiet, but also wagged their tails at him, like they had brains! Sometimes, he even couldn’t help thinking if he kept feeding them the spring water, would they be able to understand human language or what?
Ahem, ahem, ahem…well, gone sidetrack too far, the conclusion is there’s no need to build walls on the back.
“It sounds like a big project. It's just as well. The house is going to last a lifetime, so you should spend more money to make it bigger.”
Originally he thought he was just building a tile-roofed house with a few rooms. Seen from now, he did not see him wrong. This guy had great ambition!
“Hehe…you know, I bought over two hundred mu of land today, so I am thinking why not directly build a manor? I can build houses in the front, and raise fish, build a factory and plant fruit trees. I can produce and market all by myself. Isn’t it pretty convenient?”
Smiling, Ling Jingxuan said so as he had an eye contact with Yan Shengrui. As for the specific details, he’d explain it explicitly when the construction teams came.
“You guy..”
Dang~Dang~
Never thought he’d buy so much land at a time, the shopkeeper couldn’t help smiling. Before he could finish his words, there came a knock at the door, and the smile on their faces was gone. As Shopkeeper Zhang answered, the door was pushed open from outside. Five rough men in different heights came in with all smiles. Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly welcomed them to sit, then said as he pointed to Ling Jingxuan, “This is Childe Ling Jingxuan from Ling village. He wants to build a house. As for the specific requirements, he’d explain it to you.”
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ “Childe Ling.”
The five men all cupped their hands at him at the same time. Someone even Shopkeeper Zhang was so polite to, of course they should show respect.
Ling Jingxuan nodded at each other them, smiling, then felt out the drawing he had been prepared and unwrapped it on the table, “I guess brother Zhang should have simply told you. I know your time is precious, so I will get to the point directly. This is the drawing I drew myself. Except the traditional main house, reversely-set house, appentices, stock barns and other things, I still want to build two houses of this style. And, also build a winding corridor in the center of the newly-dug pond for enjoying the cool and strolling. Can you do it?”
On the drawing was a modern-style that united that kind of traditional three-entry yard. Each part was marked with the materials needed. On both sides of the front yard was marked with garden, roads, and where to build what kind of things. The back yard was very large. Except the planned fruit garden, there were two big blank spaces, one was written with pond, one with factory, symmetric on both sides. The winding corridor he asked for was in the center of the pond, linking all those things together. Unlike those common bridge and water below, it was purely a winding corridor, only with an octagonal pavilion in the middle. After seeing the drawing, the five people all had question marks in their head. If you said it’s luxurious, the yards were kind of simple. But if you said it’s simple, no matter its style or materials of the main house, it was new and luxurious. And there were even places they couldn’t understand.
