After returning to the backyard, He Yuzhu went to the main house to take a look. It was not small, about 70 square meters. The old bricks had been taken away, and the trash in the house had been cleaned up. It looked empty.
Because it had been transformed into two rooms, there was no wooden carved partition door in the east wing, which lacked the ancient charm. The door was also reduced in size by half. Fortunately, the original frame was still made into a new door.
He walked around the house again and didn't find anything he was dissatisfied with. He called his wife and sister over to clean up again.
By the time he finished cleaning the room, the sky had already turned dark. He Yuzhu stood in the veranda at the entrance of the main room and carefully sized up the layout of the backyard.
In his previous life, when he watched the original drama, he found it strange that this courtyard house did not look like an ordinary three-way courtyard house.
First of all, the gate of the courtyard house was the Guangliang Gate, which was ranked second in the courtyard house. It was only second to the gate of the royal palace used by the royal family. It was a little stingy for a family to live in a three-way courtyard with such a door.
Then there was the front yard, middle yard, and backyard. There were also the main rooms and the east and west wing rooms. These were not the layout of a three-in-one courtyard.
In an ordinary three-entry courtyard house, the first and third entrances were the front and back courtyards. There were only inverted rooms and back rooms, and there were no side rooms or main rooms. This was also inconsistent with the current situation.
Now that he was in the courtyard house, he was even more certain of his thoughts. This should be a large courtyard with four or five entrances. It had been rebuilt into a three-way courtyard with three one-way courtyards.
As long as he added a courtyard door to the backyard, the backyard would become an independent standard courtyard house.
This was also the reason why he had racked his brains to move into the backyard and get the miscellaneous people out.
A small independent courtyard house in the courtyard could not only reduce the troubles in the big courtyard house in the original drama, but it could also protect him safely in the next few years!
Now that the backyard was completely his, he would take this opportunity to find a few masters who knew ancient architecture to renovate the backyard.
The privately built small kitchen on both sides of the cross-shaped corridor was demolished and restored to a green space. Peonies, peony, and other flowers were planted along the corridor and corridor. In the middle, jujube and persimmon trees were planted.
A kitchen and a toilet were built behind the south veranda of the east and west wing rooms.
Hmm, the toilet should be in the south of the east wing, next to Yi Zhonghai's room.
Since Liu Haizhong was so cooperative this time, he would just put the kitchen in the south of the west wing. He smelled the fragrance of his own cooking!
It was just that he did not know where to find a master who knew ancient architecture! It seemed that he would have to trouble the raggedy Marquis, this local snake who wandered the streets.
He was pondering about it when he said that everyone had arrived. The raggedy marquis walked in with a young man.
The raggedy Hou introduced the 20-year-old young man to He Yuzhu. He was the owner of the old furniture.
The old man was no longer around, and this young master who had lived like a prince when he was young did not have the ability to make a living. Unable to survive in Beijing, he decided to sell his family property and return to his hometown!
The young man didn't talk much. He Yuzhu exchanged a few pleasantries with him and asked the raggedy marquis and the others to move the things to the main room in the backyard and arrange them properly.
As Liu Haizhong had also found a few workers to build the walls in the courtyard today, the courtyard was already in a mess due to the people coming and going.
The people that the raggedy duke had brought were all nimble. After two or three trips, they were done moving the things. Other than the third uncle in the front yard, no one paid attention to the new furniture that Silly Zhu bought.
After the furniture was placed in the room, it immediately gave off a different feeling. It immediately looked magnificent.
The more He Yuzhu looked at it, the more he liked it. He happily paid for the furniture.
The young man took the money, counted the amount, and left.
He Yuzhu counted out another 130 yuan and gave it to the raggedy marquis. The raggedy marquis only wanted 100 yuan, but seeing that He Yuzhu insisted and heard that he still had something to trouble him with, he happily accepted it.
Seeing that the raggedy marquis had accepted the money, He Yuzhu asked directly,
Do you know a master who knows about ancient architecture? I want to renovate this courtyard and restore it to its original appearance. I want to add a kitchen and toilet.
The raggedy marquis smiled and said to He Yuzhu,"
What a coincidence that the person you're looking for is far away and right in front of you. There's probably no one in the vicinity who knows more about ancient buildings than me.
After saying that, she walked around the courtyard and ran into the house to take a look.
This was the third courtyard of a four-room courtyard house. There was a small row of back houses behind it, but they had been demolished. There were still traces of the original house.
After saying that, he led He Yuzhu to the back of the main house and pointed at the empty space.
He Yuzhu followed the instructions of the raggedy marquis and took a closer look. It turned out that behind the main house in the backyard, there was an empty space that was more than 30 meters long and nearly 4 meters wide.
He Yuzhu's vegetable cellar was right in front of the corridor in the northwest corner. The other places behind it were filled with a mess of junk. Looking up along the tattered courtyard wall, there was also the opening where the beams of the original house were built.
After carefully looking through the backyard, the raggedy marquis said to He Yuzhu,
There's no need to make a big move. The area outside the courtyard wall is Jade River's Edge, so you can't pass through it. I suggest you build the toilet and kitchen in the original position of the back shelter. The pile of broken bricks and tiles can be used to build the kitchen and toilet. The rest of the broken bricks, tiles, and wood can be directly thrown outside the courtyard wall.
It was also convenient to build a kitchen in the northwest corner next to the vegetable cellar. In the northeast corner, there was a small window on the toilet wall. Instead of building a dry toilet, they dug a small drainage ditch and placed a water tank beside it. After using the toilet, they would flush it directly into the Jade River. It was clean and tasteless.
The kitchen and toilet were built in the style of the backyard house to ensure that it was beautiful. It was just that it was not easy to find a foundation stone at the bottom. However, if one did not want a foundation stone, it would easily get wet in the rain. If it was too much lower than the main house, it would not look good.
However, if you are willing to spend money, I will hire someone to go to Fangshan quarry to pull some back. I guarantee that the building will be the same as the original one.
The veranda was well preserved. The hanging lintel above and the lintel below were basically intact.(The lintel was the long wood between the pillars of the veranda for people to sit and rest.) There was no need to move much. There were only a few small places that were originally used to build the kitchen. It would be fine with a little repair.
Inside the house, I saw that the east wing room was preserved quite well and didn't need to be moved. In the main room, there were two partition doors in the middle and a new door in the middle. It was the same as before.
The floor of each room is made of fine wood. You don't need to move it. I've also arranged the green space under the foundation stones of the main room and the east and west wing rooms for you. I can bring you all the jujube and persimmon trees that can bear fruit.
He planted a circle of peonies along the pathway. It was guaranteed that it would be no worse than the inner courtyard of the former prince's residence.
It will only take 3 days for everything to be done. You only need to pay 200 yuan. I will take care of the accessories, the table, and the foundation stone.
He Yuzhu was moved by what the raggedy marquis said. Who wouldn't want to live in such a courtyard? He would be a fool not to have the chance to do so now that he had the chance.
He immediately gave 50 yuan to the raggedy marquis on the spot.
The raggedy Marquis did not hesitate either. He immediately arranged for the people who moved the furniture to start tidying up the trash piled up in the small courtyard behind the main house. After tidying it up, they tore down the small kitchen that Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao had built for themselves.
Looking at the backyard that had instantly become a construction site, He Yuzhu did not want to add to the mess. He returned to his kitchen that he had temporarily reserved and began to prepare dinner.
He had just taken out the ingredients from his space to prepare a stewed beef with potatoes and stir-fried two vegetarian dishes today. He saw Qin Huairu walking over in an ordinary shirt.
He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huai, who was wearing a loose shirt that couldn't hide his impressive figure. He couldn't help but feel his nose heat up. He said,
Why are you here? She quickly returned to her room. I'm going to cook for a while and the smell of oil and smoke will cover you!
Qin Huairu's eyes reddened as he looked at He Yuzhu, who was about to push him away. It was fine that she was like this, but He Yuzhu was shocked. He hurriedly asked,
What's wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason? Who offended you? Are you homesick? Why don't I take you home next week?
However, the more she spoke, the more Qin Huairu's tears could not be stopped. He Yuzhu was extremely anxious by the side and could only say that she was angry because she was crying! As expected, Qin Huairu quickly held back her tears when she heard that. She looked at He Yuzhu with her big watery eyes and said,
I'm crying because I'm happy. You're too good to me. I'm afraid I can't bear it. You're so good-looking, so capable, and so good at doting on people.
I don't know how many girls will like you in the future. I'm so stupid and I'm from the countryside. I'm afraid that you won't like me in the future.
I wanted to serve you, cook for you, and make you happy, but I've never seen those things you took out before, and I don't know how to cook them. I'm afraid that if I don't cook well, I'll waste such expensive things.
Seeing that she was serious, He Yuzhu did not dare to tease her anymore. He could only pull her into his arms. He lowered his head and gently kissed her tender red lips.
Qin Huairu did not run away shyly. Instead, she wrapped her arms around He Yuzhu's neck and responded enthusiastically.
After a long while, the two of them separated and looked up at each other. He looked at Qin Huai's face that was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out. He Yuzhu said softly,"
I don't know what other families are like, and I don't know what your mother told you. I only know that you're the wife I spent so much effort to marry. I just want you to be happy every day.
We're husband and wife, and we'll be living together for a long time. If there's anything wrong with me, please correct me. If there's anything wrong with you, I'll correct it.
What's wrong with me? Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu in confusion.
He Yuzhu smiled and explained,"
How could my wife do anything wrong? If I think my wife is wrong, then I'm wrong!
Qin Huairu immediately burst into laughter after hearing that. She punched He Yuzhu lightly with her small fist.'You're a bad guy!'
Zhu Zi, can you teach me how to cook? I want to cook for you personally. I know I won't be able to catch up to your cooking skills in my entire life, but I still want you to have a hot meal to eat when you get home.
He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's serious face and felt a sweetness in her heart. He nodded and said,
Alright, I'll teach you. I'll just be a boss and do nothing when I go home in the future, alright? After saying that, he turned Qin Huairu's body around and stood behind her. He hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder as he taught her how to cook.
Qin Huairu's face was flushed red from embarrassment. She really wanted to learn how to cook from He Yuzhu, but her mind was in a daze and she couldn't remember anything.
He Yuzhu's big hand covered her small hand and she could only let him do whatever he wanted. She felt her entire body go soft, but she liked this feeling very much.
After the meal, Qin Huairu did not remember anything. She could smell the fresh soap scent on He Yuzhu's body the entire time, and her entire body went limp.
Soon, the meal was ready and brought to the Deaf Old Lady's room. He Yushui pouted and said,
I'm starving! Why did ge take so long! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked Sister-in-law to help. Why is it that the two of them are slower than you cooking alone?
Seeing that Qin Huairu was so shy that she could not even lift her head, He Yuzhu walked over and gave her sister a good smack on the head. He said,
You're so talkative that you can't even shut your mouth when you eat. Tomorrow, you'll move in next door to Grandma. I've found a few people to tidy up the backyard. It'll take a few days.
The Deaf Old Lady looked at Qin Huiru with a smile. She picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Qin Huiru's bowl.
Eat more to replenish your strength. Zhu Zi is young and strong. You've worked hard ~
Qin Huairu's face turned even redder!
