The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 61 Starting construction and causing trouble

Director Xue was very surprised when he saw Su Yanli taking out some drawings: "Is the Imperial College still teaching this?"

Su Yanli shook his head and said with a smile, "In order to buy a dowry for my daughter, I bought a burnt shop and wanted to renovate it, so I drew a few repair plans and asked Mr. Xue to help me revise it."

Xue Changcheng clicked his tongue with emotion, "Dr. Su, Dr. Su, the size and proportion of your drawings are better than those of my apprentice. I really can't fault you."

Su Yanli smiled, "Mr.

This time it was Manager Xue's turn to shake his head, "No, no, you are both a painting and a drawing, and you will never tilt the walls or columns."

  It is impossible to draw this drawing without even ten years of skills!

Xue Changcheng smiled and said, "Can I draw a copy of this drawing?"

In his previous life, Su Ruojin worked hard to decorate his shop. He learned all three-dimensional views, planes, and sections, so drawing a floor plan was not a problem.

Su Yanli didn't think about anything else except that he was impressed by his daughter's talent. After all, her daughter took a ruler, a level and other tools and sketched in the dilapidated yard for three days. She used eyebrow pencils and charcoal pens to draw an uneven sketch for him. , he repainted it as if it were a painting.

As expected, Su Yanli didn’t think deeply about the daughter he raised by himself. If a person doesn’t understand these things, even if he is given a bunch of tools and asked to compete for ten years, he still won’t be able to figure it out!

Su Yanli is secretly proud that my daughter is smart.

On his face, he smiled modestly, "This..." Su Yanli really didn't know if her daughter was willing to give her hard-earned things to others.

ˆ ˆ Ancient formulas and professional things are all passed down by family units or individually to sons. Xue Changcheng nodded understandingly, looked at the drawings carefully, and found that only some layouts were unreasonable and pointed out.

Su Yanli thanked me and said, "Mr.

Xue Chang was honest and got benefits from Su Yanli. When people asked him to show up to calm the scene, they thought highly of him as a sixth-rank director of the Ministry of Industry, so he nodded readily.

With Manager Xue helping to look at pictures and recommend craftsmen, Su Ruojin and his daughter saved a lot of trouble and quickly started buying materials.

Su Ruojin discovered an important problem, "Who is going to look at the materials when they are placed in the shop?"

Decoration construction takes more than a day or two. If no one is there to keep an eye on it and it gets stolen, all the money will be wasted.

The two brothers, Dashi and Ershi, rushed to see it. Su Ruojin shook his head, "You have to do business, so it can't affect your sleep."

Mao Ya stood up and said, "Let me see it."

Shu Tong also said: "I will go."

 Hands are really needed everywhere.

Su Ruojin thought for a moment. Although Mao Ya has skills, her age and gender are inappropriate. Shu Tongshu has a lot to do. If he is asked to look at the construction site, wouldn't there be no one to use her?

Suddenly, she thought of someone, "How about asking Uncle Hua Ping!" "Yes, why didn't I think of him?" Shu Tong agreed, "I'll go find him right away."

When Huaping heard that he was asked to look at the construction site, he almost jumped when Shutong patted his shoulder and pressed him down. He looked like he was doing good for his little brother, "You hang around in the teahouse all day and don't have any real business. Now help us look at it." At the construction site, when the shop is ready, I will ask the second lady to be the shopkeeper for you. "

 Huaping: ...I thank you, thank you second wife!

“Brother Hua, we in the Su family really don’t have anyone, so I’m asking you to do me a favor.”

 Hua Ping almost cursed, "I'm so big, I can't admit that I'm your brother. It's you who insisted on calling me Hua Xiaodi."

Who asked him to show favor to others? In the end, Hua Ping was shamelessly dragged over by Shu Tong to look at the construction site management materials. Twenty taels a month, "Our second wife said that if Hua does a good job, there will be additional rewards."

Huaping looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle: ...I drank almost two taels of tea in the teahouse a day. Damn it, he must have been in debt to the master and servant of the Su family in his previous life, so now he is asked to work as a cow and horse. .

Su Ruojin ignored Hua Ping's resentful look and first finished the small room where he kept the door and looked at the materials. Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs, making it clean and refreshing. "Uncle Hua, don't worry, Mother Dong will leave the stall every day." I will help you clean your room and wash your clothes when you pass by. Just help me take care of the construction site. "

That's pretty much it. Huaping, who was restless, finally felt more comfortable being served.

 Everything was ready, and Su Ruojin chose a day when the Imperial Academy was resting to start construction.

In order not to attract attention, the opening was very low-key. No firecrackers were set off, and only a few red papers were posted to express auspiciousness. However, all the required craftsmen came to identify the construction site and explained at what stage they would enter the work.

So many people came to the burnt house at once. It seemed that the owner was preparing to start renovations, which attracted people from around to watch. Su Ruojin was prepared and asked Mao Ya to give out sweets to the children who came as a lucky celebration.

Su Yanli and Mr. Xue began to draw the lines. The ink fountain was held just right. Before the first line could be flicked, the crowd of onlookers was squeezed and staggered. They stepped on it and screamed: "Who is it? Don't squeeze or push!"

A fat man in red and flowers, swinging his big sleeves and swaggering, stood in front of the gate of the Qi family's dilapidated courtyard, shouting at the onlookers, "I--"

Everyone in this section of Xiqiao Lane knows this naughty Dou Wangcai, the son of Mrs. Xu. He is domineering in this area because his aunt and uncle are the stewards of the Jin Palace. The people have long wanted him to be hit by a carriage when he went out, but recently, there has been a lot of He stopped for half a year and rarely bullied others on the street. I heard that he had done a lot of harm to the private prostitutes in the West Street and Alley area. The people secretly covered their mouths and laughed. The bad guy was a perfect match for the bully, and no one sympathized with the private prostitutes.

 Why did it appear again today?

The common people didn't understand why Dou Wangcai hadn't appeared on the streets for a long time, but Su Ruojin knew very well. It was because from the winter solstice to the Chinese New Year last year, the officials caught corruption, which led to the punishment of everyone including the King of Jin. Of course you have to restrain the people below.

 Unexpectedly, when summer comes, these guys will come out of their holes to sting people like hibernating scorpions.

Su Yanli and Chief Xue looked at each other and felt extremely headaches. As the saying goes: The king of **** is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. After all, they are eighth- and sixth-grade court officials. Even if King Jin comes, as long as they have not committed any crime, he will treat them. I'm being polite, but this is the son of the girl in charge, and this is going to be difficult.

 Because they are clearly here to blackmail you and bully you, what should you do?

The store clerk’s house on the first floor was taken away, and even her breakfast stall business was taken away. What does this mean? This shows that the rumored Princess Jin’s stewardship is just that! If there was a way to make money, I could still run a small stall like hers.

If Mrs. Xu’s arrogance is not curbed today, how will the shop still make money in the future?

Doesn’t Dou Wangcai want to make trouble? Very good, then let’s make trouble with him!
