MTL - Lanke Chess Edge-Chapter 25 I am so weak!
The stone table and bench were pulled by two bullock carts, and a total of four master masons carried them into the gate and placed them in a suitable position under the jujube tree according to Ji Yuan's instructions.
Together with the table, stool and labor, it cost 1 taels of silver, which can be said to be the most expensive item in the cost. Ge, Ji Yuan wanted to be polite and ask for a drink of water without saying anything.
Now that Ji Yuan has a place to rest, he sits on the stone bench in the courtyard, watching the people in the main room and the side rooms busy, and from time to time he goes over to give pointers on where to put them.
'This ancient market vendor is actually quite professional, and his hands and feet are so agile! ’
Besides, I listened to the women and men who were cleaning. They didn't need to work too hard. Originally, they said they would clean it in half a day, but now I guess that with their sweaty work method, they will stop work in more than an hour at most!
Interestingly, some shops came to deliver things but didn't come in, such as the one that sold quilts. Some shopkeepers took the rest of the money and left after moving things in. They didn't talk much or even glanced, as if there was an urgent matter.
The group of people who were invited to clean was more normal. The cleaning was lively and the work at hand was not ambiguous at all. Even if someone wanted to chat, some of them would stop them.
'The ancients were industrious! ’
Ji Yuan sighed in her heart and held her chin in a daze.
The cleaning work is basically a process of dust removal. The dust in each room is cleaned, and then wiped with a wet towel and mop, and some people specially re-paste the paper on the window.
In addition to being curious, Ji Yuan also went to grind it with his hand, and found that the paper used to paste the windows is very tough, almost like the oiled paper used for umbrella making. Wind and rain are absolutely fine.
. . .
I don't know how long it has passed, but Ji Yuan, who was yawning after listening to the busy people in several rooms, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He subconsciously turned his head to the well and frowned for a long time.
Since water is needed for cleaning, the cover plate on the top of the well has been removed. He felt a little cool in this direction just now. Now, the whole surface of the well is dark, and it is unknown whether it is shaded by trees.
As Ji Yuan opened his eyes slightly, he seemed to see the shadow under the well, how awkward it was, and there was a gloomy feeling when he looked at it.
I don't know why, but I couldn't help but recall some horror movies I've seen in my previous life, which made Ji Yuan have some goosebumps.
'I really scare myself! ’
Rubbing her arms, Ji Yuan forced herself to stop thinking about it.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji?"
At this moment, a deafening voice seemed to come from the sky, which directly startled Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan's body shook and woke up, only to realize that he had just fallen asleep on the stone table.
Turning around, he saw that the helpers hired to clean the mansion had all carried buckets and tools to the yard. A total of 8 people were standing beside him.
"Mr. Ji, we're done cleaning, can you take a look?"
"It's done cleaning? So fast?"
"Uh heh, yes, take a look, if you're not satisfied, we can still clean it up."
Having said that, Ji Yuan also stood up from the stone bench.
"Okay, let me take a look!"
I walked around a few houses, and from time to time I reached out to wipe the gaps on the windowsill, and looked under the bed and every corner with my probe, and it was basically cleaned.
When I went to hire someone today, a lot of people couldn't come to the corner of Tianniufang when they heard it. The team came here after doubling the price, but now it looks like it's worth the money.
Going out to the yard, the group of people stood there waiting.
"Yes, you have worked hard."
Ji Yuan took out the purse, put out a pile of five treasures, counted forty in front of them, and added two more on top.
"This is the salary, and the extra 10 cents should invite everyone to drink tea!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ji!" "Thank you, Mr. Ji!"
"Then let's go first?"
In the sound of everyone's thanks, the leading man hurriedly took the money and said goodbye.
"Okay, walk slowly and don't send it off!"
Ji Yuan put on a gentle and elegant look, smiled and nodded. After all, today's new outfit has not been pretentious, so she has to practice.
However, the group of helpers had similar reactions before and after, and they were all enthusiastic. It was unclear whether it was because of money or their demeanor.
It wasn't until the footsteps of a group of people walked a little farther that Ji Yuan could vaguely hear some vague discussions.
"This house is really nice!"
"Hey, Mr. Ji is a very nice man, he looks like a learned man!"
"The name of this house always sounds familiar..."
When the leader heard this, he just urged.
"Stop talking, go faster, hurry up!"
"That gentleman can't tell how old he is, but he looks so good-looking!"
"Also said, hurry up, what's the use of looking good?"
…
Okay, I'm satisfied after hearing the last few words, but I can't see what it means to be old. Can I still see myself as old? What's the use of looking good? Better than not looking good!
At this time, the sun was sloping westward, and it was still close to dusk.
Although the Cheng She in several rooms is still relatively simple, it is considered complete, and Ji Yuan is a little ecstatic when sitting in the courtyard.
It's a pity that there is no Internet or mobile phone, and there are no naive young heroes who come to Mr. Ji from time to time.
"Hey, I'm a little lonely...hs..."
Ji Yuan, who sighed, suddenly turned his head nervously to look at the well, stood up and walked to the side, grabbed the wooden cover and slammed the well again.
"Huh... I'm much more comfortable, I should watch less horror movies in my last life and scare myself!"
. . .
In the middle of the night, the watchman's voice spread far and wide in the silent night, and it also reached Ji Yuan's ears.
"Dong... dong dong..."
"It's safe and sound~~~"
"Dong... dong dong..."
"It's safe and sound~~~"
…
I don't know why, but UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Ji Yuan tossed and turned tonight and couldn't sleep. He tried all kinds of tricks, such as counting sheep and exercising, but it didn't work.
As soon as the watchman knocked on the bangzi, Ji Fate closed his eyes to realize that he had reached the third watch, and he still understood that after the bangzi knocked three times.
Although it is actually equivalent to more than 11 o'clock in the evening, but now it's getting dark early and there are no entertainment activities, so going to bed early and getting up early is the only reason here.
'Could it be that I think someone still recognizes the bed? Or are you too excited to have a house? ’
Just thinking about it, Ji Yuan suddenly felt that the temperature had dropped a lot without knowing it.
"Squeak... squeak... squeak... squeak..."
An old wooden squeak sounded from the courtyard outside the door. It was very light, but it definitely couldn't escape Ji Yuan's ears.
Ji Yuan's body paused, keeping absolutely quiet and listening carefully, hoping that it was a hallucination just now.
"Squeaky..."
The wooden plank at the wellhead, which was pressing against the stones, was lifted up a little bit, making a sound that the wood was overwhelmed.
Ji Yuan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes all of a sudden, all kinds of associations during the day flashed through his mind, the coolness on his back shot straight to the top of his head, and the fine sweat on his forehead appeared like magic.
"Squeaky..."
"boom…"
It was the stone pressed on the wooden board that fell to the ground, and Ji Yuan's heart also jumped violently with the stone's landing.
The wooden cover was pushed to one side, and dense hair overflowed from the well...
"Guru..."
As the chill became heavier, Ji Yuan swallowed a mouthful of water, pulled the quilt on the bed, and quietly covered his head with extremely slow movements.
"He... Mom... I don't plan to be so unlucky! ! Damn broker, I'm stubborn about your mother's ancestors! ’
