After Hongtao bought the house, Qingyu also finished the drawings. On this day, she took the drawings to Daquwanmu Lane and looked for Jiang Mutou as usual.
Jiang Mutou's family is now in awe of the people in Taoyaju in Jiuquli. Therefore, when they see Qingyu, even if she looks like a child, the family does not dare to be indifferent in the slightest.
Jiang Mutou was a little cautious and invited Qingyu to sit in the main room. Jiang's wife then brought out tea and snacks.
"There is only coarse tea in the house, Miss Third, please don't dislike it." Putting down the tea cup, Jiang's wife said with an apologetic smile.
Qingyu smiled slightly and said, "Uncle and aunt are so polite."
She smiled sincerely. Jiang's wife glanced at Jiang Mutou and sat down with a tray. She also wanted to hear what the Xian family would do if they came to see them.
Qingyu took out a thick stack of drawings and said bluntly: "The mountain pavilion needs to be expanded. Here are the drawings. I want to ask Master Jiang to see if it can be built." She spread out the drawings.
Jiang Mutou walked over and took a closer look, but his eyes suddenly widened, "This..."
"Can it be built?" Qingyu flipped through another page.
Jiang's wife also came over. Although she didn't know how to do carpentry, she could still read the front view. Like Jiang Mutou, her face was full of shock.
Jiang Mutou held the drawings with trembling hands and flipped through the pages. As he turned, he exclaimed, "It's so exquisite. I've never seen it before." Can this still be called a house? Jiang Mutou was very excited and thought to himself: This is probably it.
Fairy Mansion.
As a carpenter, in addition to his daily simple carpentry work, building a house is also an important task. However, Jiang Mutou has few opportunities to build a house in the city. After all, the houses in the city were all built a long time ago, unless one of them wants to demolish and rebuild.
Most of the opportunities are in the countryside. Some local squires need to build houses and will come to the city to find carpenters.
Jiang Mutou turned the drawings over and over obsessively, and when he saw some subtleties, he subconsciously asked what they meant, and Qingyu answered them one by one.
Half an hour later, Jiang Mutou had understood all the drawings. The more he understood, the more frightened he became. This was not a simple project.
"There are still nine months until next year's vernal equinox. Can we make it in time?" Qingyu asked. "It doesn't matter if there are more people. The labor and money are easy to talk about. What's important is that it must be built well and completed before the vernal equinox."
Jiang Mutou was grateful and moved that such a large project was entrusted to him. This was the trust the Xian family placed in him. How could he dare to live up to it? He handed over his hand and said, "As long as it can be built, I will promise to complete it on time.
This... house, at least in Yinzhou, I have never seen anything like this, and it is not an ordinary house. I am not sure whether the Yamen will allow it to be built. I am afraid that it will have to get the consent of the Yamen."
Qingyu thought about it for a while and nodded: "I understand, we will go to the Yamen to get permission. I will go back today, and I will come back to you when I get permission." She was about to put away the drawings.
"Miss Third, you can leave the other drawings and take the front back with you. The yamen can determine whether it can be built just by looking at the front view.
I'll go find other carpenters later, and I can discuss this drawing with others in the afternoon. I can't do such a big project by myself. Not counting the craftsmen, I have to find at least fifty master craftsmen."
Since they were from the Immortal Family, Jiang Mu was certain that the Yamen would definitely agree, but this formality still had to be done to avoid criticism later.
And he can actually start preparations now, recruiting workers, selecting people, selecting materials, etc. For such a large project, nine months is not enough time, and he does not want to delay it for a moment.
"That's fine." Qingyu took out the front view, handed the others to Jiang Mutou, and then said goodbye to Jiang Mutou.
After Qingyu left, Jiang Mutou immediately got busy excitedly.
He is a craftsman who pursues the ultimate in craftsmanship. The Phoenix before made him feel great, but now this pile of drawings has brought his understanding to a higher level. He can't wait to start construction immediately.
Taking out a brochure, Jiang Mutou began to list carpenter candidates. After much deliberation, he finally selected more than thirty people, all of whom were famous carpenters and people he had worked with before. Of course, his apprentice Congtou was also among them.
After selecting the person, Jiang Mutou excitedly went out to look for the person with the drawing in hand. Although the person was not fifty, other people could recommend him, so he was not worried.
...
An hour later, Jiang Mutou returned home with a group of people.
Jiang's wife was busy making tea for a group of people, while Jiang Mutou took out the drawings and discussed them with the carpenters. In the whole day that followed, there were intense discussions, bursts of exclamations, and even occasional arguments in Muxiang.
Never stopped.
As for Qingyu, after leaving Muxiang, she communicated with Wenya using telephony.
After Wen Ya received the letter, he immediately rushed from the mountain pavilion to the gate of the inner city. After meeting Qing Yu, he rushed to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.
Cao Shen was very happy for Wen Ya's arrival. He had also sent people to inquire about Shange these days. He even went to Guohuai Street privately to find out how Shange practiced. However, just like the rumors, he did not find it.
Mountain Pavilion.
But he also knew that the mountain pavilion was on Guohuai Street. It was this incident that made Cao Shen more and more in awe of Wen Ya's magical powers. So when he heard that Wen Ya wanted to build a mountain pavilion, Cao Shen agreed.
Wen Ya still handed the drawings to Cao Shen according to the rules, "I heard that there are strict restrictions on house construction in Yinzhou. I don't know if Shange can build this house?"
Cao Shen wanted to say that he could build anything, but when his eyes fell on the drawings, he was shocked. He stared at the drawings for a long time without saying a word.
Wen Ya asked: "Sir, I wonder if it can be built?"
Only then did Cao Shen come back to his senses. The shock was still in his eyes. He thought about it and said: "The mountain pavilion is an unusual existence, so naturally it cannot be judged by common sense. This house can be built. But I have a question in my mind.
, I wonder where the immortal master wants to build it?"
There is no open space in the city. If we want to build such a fairy mansion, where can we build it?
Wen Ya had already heard from Qing Yu, so she pointed at a location on the map in front of Cao Shen, "Is this okay?"
Cao Shen looked at Su'er and was surprised again, "Master Immortal...here..."
"There is no place in the city that can accommodate the next mountain pavilion. Only this place, that open space, is just right."
"But here..." Cao Shen frowned and thought for a while, "In this way, the immortal master and I will find a place in the city."
After all, next year Shange and even Yinzhou will open their doors to all countries. It can be said that Shange's face is his Cao Shen's face. He cannot let other states, counties or even other countries come to see his jokes.
Wen Ya added: "If we occupy other people's houses because of the construction of the mountain pavilion, the people may be resentful. Your reputation will also be damaged, sir."
Don't worry, my lord, I chose this place because I had other plans. Even if there is open space in the city, the mountain pavilion cannot be built in the city. Only this place is the most suitable. I hope you can give me your permission."
"But..." Cao Shen frowned, pondered for a long time, and then asked: "Must the immortal master have to be here?"
Wen Ya nodded slightly: "This is the only suitable place."
Cao Shen pondered for a long time before nodding with great embarrassment, "Since Master Immortal asks for this, I will not deny it."
"In that case, thank you so much, sir." Wen Ya stood up, gave a blessing, took the drawings, and left.
Then, Qingyu brought the news and drawings to Jiang Mutou's house.
Jiang Mutou was having a heated discussion with the carpenters. After learning that it was going to be built, everyone clapped and jumped for joy. However, after learning about the site selection, a group of people were dumbfounded.
Jiang Mutou even doubted whether he had made a mistake, and checked it several times. After getting the confirmation, he was completely confused. Qingyu, leaving all the dead people behind, came to the location and set up a blindfold.
