What about the stepmother dressed as three villains?

Uncle Lizheng didn't say a word, "Okay, tell me which place you like, and I will approve it for you mother and son."

Dabao then interjected, "Grandpa, there is a large open space right next to the house where we live in Xiucai's house. Can we build a new house there?"

"Middle, I want it! I can do it!"

Uncle Lizheng agreed, and the villagers also thought it was okay, and no one raised any objections.

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "Thank you, old man, thank you folks."

Uncle Lizheng asked with concern, "Have you thought about what kind of house to build? Have you hired the master? Have you hired all the masons?"

"Uncle, you have asked me what's on my mind, but I haven't found anything. I want to ask you to introduce me. I will pay for the labor cost. I don't know what materials to buy. I would like to ask you to give me an introduction. If you will, help me out, and I will pay you according to the market price."

Uncle Lizheng smoked a big dry cigarette, "What money do you pay for artificial labor? There are so many people in our village, I will let them all help you. I just want to recruit masters who can build houses, find some masons and so on, you If you can trust me, I will help you find the master, and you can tell them your requirements, and they will be able to build a satisfactory house for you, mother and son."

Other folks also patted their chests and promised, "Yes, yes, we will help you do free work. Everyone helps each other to build houses in the village. We don't need wages, we just take care of the food."

Jiang Lianzhu thanked her first, "Thank you so much! Thank you uncle, thank you folks..."

If you don't want wages, then you should make good food, and the hospitality for every meal is the same.

The folks will never be treated badly.

Regarding the matter of building the house, Uncle Lizheng immediately told Jiang Lianzhu some precautions. There is no master builder in Wangjia Village, but there are several masons.

The first step is addressing.

According to the tradition of the countryside, some feudal and superstitious operations should be carried out before site selection.

Although the site has been selected, it is best to invite a Taoist priest or sorceress to conduct a survey, bury some five emperors' copper coins, and accumulate blessings and virtues.

Even though Jiang Lianzhu didn't want to believe this, she decided to respect the tradition.

Do as the Romans do.

***

In the early morning of the next day, the Daoist Mr. Lizheng, who helped Jiang Lianzhu, and the master who built the house, arrived.

The villagers also learned that Jiang Lianzhu's mother and son were going to build a new house, and they also expressed their support.

With the new house built, the old house of the scholar's family can be vacated, and there is hope for other families who are more difficult.

Let's all watch the fun.

Jiang Lianzhu's gate was full of people.

Mr. Taoist also invites famous people around, Jiang Lianzhu doesn't care, anyway, he just goes to do as the Romans do, go through the motions, and try to make auspicious, how can there really be any surprises and miraculous things happening?

Since Jiang Lianzhu had already chosen the location, the Taoist priest pretended to walk around a few times, back and forth, left and right, and finally said that this place was a treasured place of geomantic omen.

"Ding ding ding dong..."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't know the way of this Taoist priest, but he was quite imposing. He was wearing a gossip robe and a Hunyuan scarf on his head.

Anyway, all the villagers praised this person for his level.

Well, Jiang Lianzhu believed it for now, it was just a symbolic meaning anyway.

Not to mention ringing the bell, Taoist priests sometimes asked Jiang Lianzhu to bury a few copper coins in a certain place.

Jiang Lianzhu asked what does this mean?The Taoist replied that he was praying to the God of Wealth, and if he did it sincerely, he would have inexhaustible glory and wealth in the future.

Jiang Lianzhu thought, could it be that the people in this village were not willing to give up a few copper coins to build houses before?

Although she complained in her heart, she didn't dampen everyone's interest. On the contrary, she asked if she could draw some Wenchang talismans of fame and fame, and bury them in the same way, so that all the three cubs of her family would be successful in their studies and fame in the future?

The Taoist nodded repeatedly and said yes, yes, but he had to pay more.

Money, it's just a trivial matter!

The Taoist was happy, and took out a few pieces of yellow paper from the package, on which some crooked symbols had already been drawn.

"This is the ancestor of the poor Taoist, oh no, it was passed down from generation to generation by the elders of the poor Taoist school. It shows that there is a predestined relationship with it, and the poor can't go against God's will and obstruct it..."

Ba la ba la, said a lot.

The central idea is that you have great vision!Choose it, yes!

Therefore, these talisman papers were also buried one by one.

It's over, Jiang Lianzhu donated two taels of silver to the Taoist priest. Generally, this kind of ritual is usually given at most one tael of silver.

Mr. Taoist was overjoyed and said a lot of compliments before leaving in satisfaction.

……

After sending off the Taoist priests, it was the master who built the house that was serious and honest, and Jiang Lianzhu communicated with Jiang Lianzhu about what kind of house to build.

Jiang Lianzhu said her request, the front and back yards, the function of the front yard, the function of the back yard, how many houses, etc., the master immediately understood, and drew a sketch for Jiang Lianzhu, whether it was building a house in the past or Modern houses all have blueprints, and unless they are too simple, any countryman like Ming Sanjian can do them.

Jiang Lianzhu still needs a design drawing for the yard that Jiang Lianzhu asked for a second entry.

As soon as the sketch was drawn, Jiang Lianzhu knew that this master could do it. He was indeed the master that Uncle Lizheng sent someone to ask for from the town on his behalf.

After carefully discussing some details and making revisions, the general plan was finalized.

In order to save trouble, Jiang Lianzhu handed over all the materials to the master. She didn't know where to buy construction materials, and such materials were plentiful and heavy. The master in the town asked him to help buy it on his behalf, she only needs to recognize the silver.

As for the quality of the material, when it was transported to Wangjia Village, there were so many eyes from Uncle Lizheng and the villagers to help her watch, so she was not afraid of others shoddy.

At that time, when the house is built, she will carefully supervise the work, and it will be done.

After such a discussion, the estimated silver tael is around 100 taels.

Jiang Lianzhu is a straightforward person. He paid a deposit of 50 taels and signed a simple contract. Uncle Lizheng is the guarantor. After a few days, the master said that the materials can be delivered tomorrow.

After everything was settled, Jiang Lianzhu politely asked them to eat, "It's time for dinner, stay here for a light meal! I'll cook..."
