He Jinyu also knew what kind of person he was, but there was nothing he could do. He still had to consider interpersonal relationships. The person in charge was the old lady's man, so it was not easy for him to move.
"Then why not increase the stakes? There's no point in being on guard against him every day. It's such a waste of energy."
"what do you mean?"
He Jinyu's eyes lit up, this seemed to be a good idea. Instead of worrying that he would do something desperate, it would be better to force him to do it so that he could take action himself. He would have a reason and no one could say that he was doing anything wrong.
"You have already saved his face. As for whether it is necessary to keep this person, why not give it a try? No one else can say anything."
"Miss He always brings me surprises. By the way, I have taken care of the county school. The county school will open in September, and Luo Chen can prepare now."
Lan Luochen's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with anticipation. For the first time, he felt that He Jinyu was a little more pleasing to the eye, but only a little.
"Thank you, Mr. He."
Lan Luochen had learned gentlemanly etiquette from the village chief, so he already looked somewhat decent in front of He Jinyu.
"You have learned etiquette well. There is no need to be polite between you and me. Your sister and I are friends. You can call me Brother Jinyu."
Lan Luochen couldn't utter these three words at all, and her face turned red.
"Don't be shy, call someone. Call Brother Jinyu, and I will feel more at ease when Young Master He takes care of you in the county."
"Brother Jinyu."
Lan Luochen felt a little awkward, but he still listened to Lan Wangshu. Now he just believed and obeyed her mindlessly. His sister must have her reasons.
"Wangshu, you should also call Jinyu brother."
"Brother Jinyu."
Lan Wangshu thought about it and decided that since this was an opportunity to make friends, it would seem petty if she continued to be shy. Now that she was receiving his support, it would be enough for her to make money with him in the future. It would not be considered as a debt.
However, she still felt a little embarrassed to call someone who looked like a high school student brother, and her cheeks unconsciously turned slightly red.
He Jinyu was a little curious. It was the first time she saw her like this, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"Sister, we should go home."
Lan Wangshu silently took the one or two taels of gold from He Jinyu's hand without answering.
"Brother Jinyu, can you help us find a small yard in the county town and rent it for a while?"
"Don't bother. The He family does have an empty courtyard. You can just go and live there. There is a well and a mill in the courtyard. You can have some peace and quiet behind closed doors."
Lan Wangshu agreed. Since she had ready-made connections, she didn't want to go to the trading house to ask. It would be better not to waste time on these trivial matters.
When she got home, she bought paper and pencils in the system and began to draw a rough sketch of her new home. The main house was hers, with a bedroom, study, kitchen and bathroom. The three rooms in the east wing were used as bedrooms for the Lan brothers, and a large study and a utility room were planned for the west wing.
In this era, the technology of building a kang had already been developed, which saved her the trouble. She could heat up the kang when cooking in winter, and also store a pot of water for bathing, which was very convenient.
The only difficulty is how to deal with the restroom. She plans to separate an extra area next to the bathroom as a restroom. She understands the working principle of a flush toilet, but it is very difficult to put into practice. If it relies on flushing, it seems feasible. She can just store a bucket of water in the room. But she really can't stand this dry toilet.
This is the general framework of the room. We will deal with the rest after it is built.
"Luo Chen, come here."
Lan Luochen obediently stood in front of her and looked at the drawings of the new house. He was very happy. He reached out and touched the paper and felt even more amazing.
"Sister, is this our new home?"
"Yes, take this blueprint to the village chief later and tell him that we have done business with the He family and will be living in the county for a while. Let the village chief pay more attention to the house construction."
Her fingers wandered over the drawing as she spoke carefully, checking to see if he understood. After everything was arranged, she took out an ounce of gold that she had just earned today and gave it to Lan Luochen.
"Give this gold to the village chief. If the silver is not enough, you can use it from here. If it is enough, it will be used as village fees to help families like us who have no labor force, and it will also save the villagers from subsidies."
"Isn't this too much?"
"We will have more money to earn in the future. Don't just look at the little gold in front of you. Giving flowers to others will leave a sweet fragrance on your hands. After receiving our kindness for many years, the village chief will surely understand what we mean."
Lan Luochen wanted to say something, but the look in her eyes made him speechless, so he nodded obediently and walked out.
She sat alone in a chair, continuing to think about the possibility of a flush toilet. The biggest technical difficulty lies in the absolutely smooth inner wall, otherwise a vortex cannot be formed.
It would be nice if there was a cement countertop. This was really a bit difficult for her. An idea suddenly occurred to her mind: what did her charming and domineering ancestor use when building the Great Wall?
It seems that they used lime slurry containing clay, and used the viscosity of glutinous rice water to increase the strength of the lime slurry. That's great, now we have the method, but I don't know if there was lime in this era.
