647 Let's Get Out of the House
Xu Kai is really fast here. After he bought a house in Shengpingfang, he quickly started to move the house. In less than five days, he had already vacated a house in Nuo Da. In other words, this time, he made a lot of money. Not only did he make money, but he also made contacts. It is true that Li You has money, but Li You's relationship with China is what he wants to use most.
Li You himself is a holy favorite, and he has a very close relationship with Gao Lishi. Looking at it now, the relationship between Li Linfu and Li Shizhi, the two Xiangguo and Li You is not bad. With so many contacts, Xu Kai definitely knows. Look at it differently.
The housekeeper Xu’s house delivered the deed to Li’s house early this morning, and Gouzi hurried to the Yamen to hand over the matter with the visitor. By noon, the matter was finished. Now, he’s waiting for Li You to come back to see the house. Today is Li You's first day as Habayashi, and he won't be back until the afternoon.
In the evening, Li You finally returned. Before he arrived at the inner house, the dog ran out. When Li You heard the dog said that Xu Kai had vacated the house, and the house had been delivered, Li You could still wait. , Ran to see the house with the dog without taking off his armor.
Xu Kai’s house is a medium-sized house, slightly larger than Li You’s current house, covering an area of close to 20 acres. The reason why this house is expensive is not that it is larger here, but that it is geographically more expensive. It is close to the city gate and next to the imperial palace. It is next to the East Market. When Xu Kai bought it, it cost nearly 3,000 guan. It's really much more expensive than the house where Li You lives now.
The house originally entered the courtyard three times, but the front yard was too large, so it was separated by a flower wall, which looked like a four-entry courtyard. Entering the gate is a large stone wall with a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain. It does seem to be a bit interesting. There are small courtyards on the left and right sides, with numerous houses and complex structures.
Passing through the two courtyards, after a moon gate is the courtyard of the inner house. The atrium is a very large courtyard. Just north of this courtyard is the reception lobby of the main house. The hall is large, which is about the same size as Li You's own lobby. Even if it is seated alone, it can accommodate a hundred people at the same time when meeting guests.
Outside the living room is a curved corridor with eaves, which is connected to various rooms here. There are also many wing rooms on the left and right sides. There are two small gardens behind the east and west wing rooms. In the middle of the atrium is an old locust tree three feet tall, with a crown as big as an umbrella, covering most of the yard's time.
As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw a small river with a width of less than ten feet flowing from under the western wall of the backyard and winding through the east wall. There were a lot of weeping willows and peonies planted on both sides of the small river, as well as **, some unknown flowers and plants, and two pavilions. The towers and pavilions are hidden among the green trees and flowers.
The small river in the house is the water drawn from the canal outside. It runs through the back house. In the backyard, a pond covering almost two acres of land was excavated. The water is not too deep, but The bottom is clear, and from time to time you can see fish swimming among the dotted lotus leaves.
When Li You saw this pond, Li You had a scrutiny. The excavated soil could be used to fill the pond. Even if there is some excess, it is relatively simple to transport it out. Afterwards, Li You went to the main house, where all the furniture was moved, which was much more convenient for inspection.
In the living room of the main house, Li You watched for a long time, and then the dog asked: "Young Master, don't you want to dig from here, right?"
"Nonsense, if you don't go here, do you dig from the outside? Even here, you still need to make a tunnel after the excavation, so that you can't be seen by others."
After saying this, Li You went out of the living room and sat on the guardrail of the corridor. After a long time, he said again: "Doug, Shen Han and others will take a few days before they come? They are familiar, take them here. At that time, you can walk in directly through the back door with a horse-drawn carriage, and you cannot be seen by others. You can ask Anzi to arrange a few people to come over. You must explain it to you, and you must act secretly, and you must not be explored by others."
"The young master I will explain, but whether we have too few people, this job is not easy to do, Qin Feng dug so long, it took so much time, I am afraid that there are not enough people. Or, find some people over, after all, there are quite a few brothers in Chang'an."
"Why Qin Feng only digs a little distance? You should know that every time they haul the soil out, they need to do a lot of things. I can’t take care of these things. There are a lot of things in the barracks. I will come here after I sort them out. Come and stare more when you are fine."
"Understood, Young Master, shall we go back now?"
"You are not hungry, there is nothing to eat here, let's go." After saying this, Li You took the dog and left.
Three days later, Shen Han and others finally came over. Three carriages entered through the back door. No one knew whether the carriage was filled with people or goods. When Shen Han got off the carriage, he saw An Zi. He hurried forward and clasped his fists. Brother Anzi, long time no see."
For these twenty of them, they have been in the capital for so long. Except for Qin Feng, they really haven’t seen any other brothers. Now they are no longer the craftsmen in the inner courtyard, and they can be regarded as leaving and working in the inner courtyard. At the time, it was all day in fear, for fear that something went wrong and hurt others.
An Zi also politely said: "I have been waiting here for two days. Fortunately, you are all here. Now it's almost noon, I ordered people to go back to the East Market to buy some food, wine, and food. Brothers can also drink freely. Fan, work here will start the day after tomorrow. As long as we start here, we won't have this chance."
Shen Han knew what he was doing here, and Qin Feng had already explained it, but he still asked: "Anzi, Brother Qin said that we should continue to excavate from here and connect the tunnels that were originally excavated into one. Many? There are only twenty of us. I'm afraid that time will be delayed."
An Zi pulled him into the living room of the main house, and then said to Shen Han: "In terms of time, the young master gave him half a year. I think it should be enough. I have only eight people here. There are not many people. The Lord meant that we were divided into three groups and kept digging. All the tools were shipped yesterday. I think it shouldn’t take long for you to be familiar with it. Here are the tunnels that you dug under the city. For more than a hundred battles, I don’t know how long it will take to dig."
Shen Han said: "Actually, it didn't take long to dig through the original tunnel. If you really excavate with all your strength, it is estimated that two months will be enough with the addition of masonry reinforcement. I want to dig out of the city from here. It’s a bit troublesome. Even if the lower part of the city wall is opened up, the trenches outside the city need to be prevented from collapsing. This can't be a mistake. The young master gave us half a year, I think, it can be done without accident, but , You need a lot of masonry."
An Zi nodded. Li You also mentioned these words, and he naturally knew them. As for the masonry, he had already contacted yesterday, and a large number of masonry will be delivered in the afternoon today. (End of this chapter)
