Traveling through ancient times, I married an ugly brother

After the pedestrians entered the house, Shen Changjun introduced them.

Shen's father and He's are the heads of the family, so they naturally have to be called master and madam.

Others are called Young Master, Young Madam, Young Master, and Young Miss. Of course, they should be called according to the ranking in the family, such as Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Madam, and so on.

After the introduction, Shen Changjun said to them: "I don't care what you were like in the past, now you are a member of our Shen family when you enter this door. Since you are the Shen family, you must abide by our Shen family's rules. The Shen family's rules are just two words. , loyal. As long as you are faithful, then you will have a good life. If you dare to betray the Lord, then the consequences are not something you can bear. Do you understand?"

All five nodded and said, "Understood."

Shen Changjun asked them to take a bath, and then changed into the family's old clothes.

After they were all packed, they arranged their own work.

Wang Min is the younger brother, and his sister-in-law took him to cook.

Except for Wang Cong, the others followed the big guys to prepare the ingredients. They were all simple tasks, and they basically learned them quickly.

When eating in the evening, the newly purchased servants did not eat at the main table, but opened a table in the kitchen. Although they ate differently, they ate the same food. No discrimination is made.

The original head of Wang Lei's family was a big family in Fuying County. The food was not bad. Although it was not rice, it was also Japonica rice. Sometimes he would be beaten and scolded, and it was common for him to go hungry.

The Shen family was willing to put oil, and the seasoning was complete, and there were some food that they had never seen before. The family was very satisfied with the food, and at the same time, they felt relieved. They felt that they had come to a good family, and they must behave well in the future.

Zhang Hu and Zhang Fei are different. They were sold to the tooth shop by their uncle. Even when their parents were still alive, they had never eaten rice, so this is the first time they have eaten such delicious rice, and they cherish it very much. , At the same time, the two of them secretly swore in their hearts that they must work hard and not be driven away by the master, otherwise they would never be able to eat such delicious white rice again.

The Shen family's guest rooms were in short supply. After the second uncle and third uncle's house left, they imported more, so the vacant rooms were already full of people.

Fortunately, Zhang Hu and Zhang Fei are only ten years old, and Wang Cong is only five years old, so they can sleep in the children's room temporarily, as long as they prepare a room for the couple.

The house is not enough to live in, so Shen Changjun wants to build a new house.

Their family lives in the ancestral house, which has been around for some years. According to Shen Changjun's idea, it is better to rebuild it than to renovate it again. The current house is similar to a courtyard house in Beijing. There are two main rooms in one courtyard, and six rooms The wing room, as well as the utility room, the kitchen, and the living room all look crowded together.

Shen Changjun plans to build a new house with a courtyard with four entrances and a small second floor. He doesn't know if it's cold here in winter. In the memory of the original owner, there are charcoal basins in the house in winter.

Burning charcoal is risky. The charcoal in my own house must be the best smokeless charcoal, but it is not necessarily the case in other houses, so Shen Changjun decided to burn a kang, and to see if he could get another earth dragon.

The amount of work is huge, and Shen Changjun is not going to ask the people in the village for help. Firstly, it is a busy time for farming, and secondly, he thinks that some places still need professional guidance. Experts have always led laymen to get twice the result with half the effort.

If Shen Changjun envisioned four courtyards, then the current homestead occupied by the ancestral home would not be enough, and we had to choose a new location to build a house.

After dinner, the family was busy in the yard, and Shen Zhangjun discussed his ideas with Shen's father. When the family heard that they were going to build a new house, they all pricked up their ears. They all knew that the younger brother's idea was novel. , that must be excellent.

Father Shen, Mother, if we want to rebuild the house, we should choose a good place. We must not be here. One is that there is not enough space, and the other is that we also need a place to live during the construction period.

"If the house is built and we all move away, what will we do here?" The old people are generally nostalgic. They have lived here for decades, and it is hard to bear the thought of moving away, and the old man also lived here before. Pass.

"That's right, Jun'er, when your grandfather separated the family and left the ancestral house to your father, your father has to follow the family rules and pass the house to your elder brother. If we move away, what about the ancestral house?" She didn't continue to talk about it. According to her idea, it is the family rule of the Shen family to leave the ancestral house to the eldest son. As a daughter-in-law, she cannot change it. However, if the whole family moves out of the new house, how will it be divided in the future? There is no division now. Woolen cloth.

Shen Changjun was also a little hesitant. It is said that this ancestral house will be left to the elder brother in the end, but if he moves to a new house, he can't just leave the elder brother here alone.

Shen Changfu was also very conflicted at this time. He knew the family rules of the Shen family, the ancestral house was reserved for the eldest son, but now that the family was going to build a new house, he couldn't just watch others move to the new house, and he could stay in the ancestral house by himself. .

"Father, why don't we ask elder brother for his opinion to see if he wants to stay in the ancestral house or live with us. If elder brother lives with us, then this ancestral house will continue to be used as a workshop. Anyway, I was originally If you plan to build a workshop, you can't continue to make these things in the new house.

Father Shen thought for a while, no longer hesitated, and said: "Okay, Chang Fu, you heard it too, how did you decide."

"Father, I'll live with you." Shen Changfu didn't want to stay here with just their family.

Father Shen nodded, and said to Shen Changjun: "Then tomorrow, let's go to the village chief and ask where there is a suitable homestead."

The whole family was full of expectations and yearning for the new house.

The homestead of the Shen family is located at the east end of the village. It is close to the end of the village but not at the end. It is closer to Wang Orhu's house. There used to be a thatched cottage here, but people have moved away, so this place has become Borderlands.

The biggest advantage of this homestead is that there is open space in the front and back, which is very spacious. The Shen family spent 80 taels of silver just to buy this homestead.

Now that the family has bought people, and the new servants are nimble and quick to learn, when they came to work in the exclusive restaurant on the first day, they arranged for Wang Lei to kebab. Unexpectedly, this guy is quite talented, Shen Changfu He just said it once, and he got started.

The grilling is also very good, and it is obviously much easier to grill meat with him.

Zhang Hu and Zhang Fei are in charge of making ice porridge, smoothie and glutinous rice cake, which are very simple, while Jiang Liu is in charge of milkshake and jujube cake.

The jujube cake is prepared once before the store opens, and it is basically baked when the store opens. The second time is at noon, and the limit is 80 per day.

He's responsible for the glutinous rice balls, but now it's mid-July, and as the weather gets hotter, fewer and fewer people eat glutinous rice balls, especially at noon when the sun is at its fullest and the weather is hottest. No one ordered glutinous rice balls, so Mrs. He would make milkshakes for Jiang Liu when he was making jujube cakes.

Everything was arranged properly, and Shen Changjun was busy with building the house in his free time, so he drew the architectural plan at home.

The four-entry courtyard painted by Shen Changjun also adopts the pattern of a courtyard house, but the purpose is slightly modified.

The first is the gate. The gate is made into a barbarian gate. The sill frame, surplus plug, and door leaf are installed between the front eaves and pillars. There is no room for shelter outside the door leaf.

On the west side of the courtyard gate, there is a row of inverted houses, on the right side is a gatehouse, there is a screen wall facing the gate, and a screen door on the left side.

Only through the screen door can you get to the second gate, and after entering the second gate is the inner courtyard.

The two gates are hanging flower gates, which are connected by hand corridors. The east and west sides adjacent to the courtyard gate are the kitchen and the bathroom, followed by the east and west wing rooms, with two wing rooms on each side. The east side is the living room and guest room, and the west side is the dining room and bathroom.

Shen Changjun made the bathroom room into several compartments, which are full of items and convenient to use. There are such bathroom rooms in every yard.

The main building is a small two-story building with three rooms on the upper and lower sides, transparent from the north to the south.

The third entrance is the same as the second entrance, but except for the bathroom and bathroom, the rest are guest rooms.

At the end is a row of rear-covered rooms, which are also two floors above and below, with five rooms on the upper and lower floors.

After the painting was finished, Shen Changjun picked it up to look at it, and painted fruit trees in the four corners of the inner courtyard, and a grape trellis in the middle, and a lotus pond in the middle of the third inner courtyard besides the fruit trees.

Putting down the pen, Shen Changjun picked it up again, looked at it again and again, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

After discussing the drawings with Shen's father, they went to find the workers.

In Fuying County, there is a craftsman's hall dedicated to remodeling courtyards for wealthy families. The craftsmen there are very skilled.

When I came to the craftsman hall, a craftsman named Fang Shan happened to be idle, so Shen Changjun took out the blueprints and talked with Fang Shan. The blueprints Shen Zhangjun took were not difficult from the outside, and the second floor was for the Jin Dynasty. It is not uncommon. The reason why there are not many houses in Fuying County is because the people in Fuying County are poor, but there are no Dilong and Kang. In winter, no matter whether your family is poor or rich, they all burn charcoal.

If you have money, you burn it, but if you don't have money, you can only freeze it.

Shen Changjun is familiar with building kangs, but he is not sure about earth dragons. He only knows that if he wants to lay green bricks, he needs to build a flue under the ground, pass the smoke through the flue, and arrange the smoke windows reasonably to warm the green bricks before laying the bricks. Passed to the room, so that the room has a warm effect.

If the ground dragons in all rooms are connected to achieve unified heating, this requires research and exploration.

Fang Shan is a craftsman, he likes to study, and now he is very interested in this field he doesn't know, and he hates to ask for money.It's for nothing for Shen Changjun, but considering that there are still a group of brothers waiting to eat, it's rare for him to be able to retain a trace of sobriety.

There are two methods of workmanship in Jiangshitang, one is labor and materials, and the other is only labor without materials. In the past, Jiangshitang did work for big families. Steward, there is money to be made in projects like this. If labor and materials are contracted, what else are they going to make.

Shen Changjun didn't have this concern. He felt that Fang Shan was used to doing these things after all, and he knew better about which materials were good and which were not suitable than a layman like himself, so as long as the quality could be guaranteed, it wouldn't hurt to give them the whole package. So the price was negotiated.

The green brick and tile house is still a two-story building, and ground dragons are required, including digging a well. The final price is 800 taels, which can buy a good courtyard in the county.

The start of construction was only two days away, but there was still one imminent thing waiting for them, that is, it was time to harvest the crops. The wheat was already ripe, and it was time to harvest.
