Infrastructure masters in the red building

Jia Fang never expected Jia She to be such a high-spirited and unreliable young man, nor did he expect him to be so kind to him.

After the two brothers discussed the name of the eldest son/nephew, Jia Amnesty continued to hook Jia Fang's neck, and talked nicely: "Third brother, I know that the place you live in is a bit small now. Son, I'm a little bit aggrieved. Dad also wrote to me before, asking me to take care of the family's affairs and repair the courtyard behind Rongxi Hall for you to live in...the one with the big screen wall in front of the courtyard gate. Forgive brother, money is really tight these days, and my mother never leaks a penny from her fingers..."

Jia Fang thought about it: the courtyard behind Rongxi Hall has a screen wall at the door... Isn't this the courtyard where Sister Feng and Jia Lian lived in the original book?

Jia Amnesty actually wants to build his son's yard for himself to live in in the future?

Well, this at least shows that Jia She still cares about his concubine brother.

But Jia Fang suddenly remembered another thing: in the original book, the construction of the Grand View Garden was also under the supervision of Jia She, and the garden was completed in a relatively short period of time, which shows that Jia She's execution is very strong.In addition, this person's artistic taste should also be good.

As long as Jia Amnesty doesn't turn on the wrong path in the future, maybe he can be a good helper for him - Jia Anxin thought so, and he also paid more attention to this brother.

For the time being, he did not rush to push Jia She, who was about to push down a handful of Pai Gow, and crossed the courtyard in front of Rongxi Hall to the west of Jia Zheng's outer study, where he met Jia Zheng.

He also didn't expect that Jia Zheng and Jia She had the same mother and compatriots, but their temperaments were very different.Jia She was full of pride and liked to gamble, but Jia Zheng looked like a little old man, with his hands behind his back and no expression on his face, he asked Jia Fang in a flat voice: "The third brother is all right—"

After getting an affirmative answer, Jia Zheng reminded Jia Fang: "Since this is the case, the third brother must not forget to pay his respects to his mother tomorrow morning. The morning and evening are fixed, and etiquette cannot be lacking. Over there, brother Yu will replace you tomorrow. You tell the master that you will go back to study in a few days."

Seeing that Jia Fang agreed to each of them, Jia Zheng buried his head and said, "You go, brother Yu wants to review the book."

The entire answering session took only a few snaps of the fingers. When Jia Fang said goodbye, Jia Zheng's eyes were staring at the book without blinking. It seemed that such a short time also delayed him.

Jia Fang didn't care, bid farewell to Jia Zheng and came out, suddenly saw a maid in enchanting clothes carrying tea in, and Jia Zheng greeted lightly, "Sister is here".

Jia Fang shook his head secretly, thinking that the brothers in this family really have very different temperaments, one is really a dandy, and the other is serious.

He walked around Rongguo Mansion, and really wanted to go to Dongfu Ningguo Mansion again, after all, the predecessor of Grand View Garden - Huifang Garden was there.If he wants to build the Grand View Garden mentioned in the book, he must make use of Huifang Garden.

It's a pity that it was getting late at this time, and Jia Fang still decided to go back to his small courtyard.After he went back, Mrs. Guan Sun borrowed the chalk from tailoring and began to draw lines on the whitewashed wall of her bedroom.

Fuya came in with a food box, saw Jia Fang like this, and asked curiously: "Master, what are you doing?"

Jia Fang said: "You will know when Zhao Cheng comes back."

Before Jia Fang finished his dinner, Zhao Chengcheng came back.When he entered the door, he was full of smiles, and he should have gained a lot.

"Third Master, can you see if these are all right?" Zhao Cheng took out a coil of copper wire from his arms, as well as a small handful of iron nails, a small copper bell, and a roll of thick mulberry paper.

"It's white copper." Jia Fang took the coil of copper wire, looked at the thickness, stretched out his hand to bend it again, tried the toughness, and was very satisfied with the texture of this copper wire. When he asked the price, he was shocked. The two small pieces of silver given to Zhao Cheng are not enough.It was Zhao Chengliang who went abroad as the third master, who shocked people, so he bought the money on credit and brought the things home first.

Jia Fang felt that Zhao Cheng was doing well, so he nodded his head and said, "Go and exchange a bank note for me tomorrow. After cashing the silver, go and settle the account on credit first." He saw Zhao Cheng's smile on his face. Face, quickly added another sentence, "I can't give you all the change this time, I will bring back the one or two that I get. I will reward you with another two hundred dollars."

In the west chamber, Mrs. Sun heard that Jia Fang was going to reward Zhao Cheng with two hundred coins, so she took a cane and slapped it in her hand in a hurry, and when she came out, she beat Zhao Cheng on the buttocks: "This brat, how dare you talk to the third master?" I want a reward. You don't even look at it, what is the identity of the third master, but now he can only nest in this yard as big as a needle eye, how much money does the third master have to spend... How dare you ask the third master for money?"

Zhao Cheng was beaten by Sun and ran around the room, and finally Jia Fang stopped the two.

Jia Fang said: "Mother Sun, I will reward Zhao Cheng for doing a good job, and I will also punish him for doing a bad job in the future. You should let him have two coins so that I can punish him? "

Mrs. Sun was still furious, but Zhao Cheng just hid behind Jia Fang, poked his head out, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Third Master, I will guarantee that you will not punish me in the future."

Jia Fang suppressed a smile: "Okay, but today's errands are not over yet, now you have to help me."

He and Zhao Cheng worked together, one nailed the nails on the wall in the bedroom, and the other pulled the copper wire and string between the nails according to the lines drawn on the wall.Jia Fang's bedroom is next to the west wing, sharing a brick wall.Jia Fang easily found a hole in the brick wall to prevent thermal expansion and contraction, and passed the copper wire directly from his bedroom to the west wing next door.

Both Sun and Fuya were puzzled: "What is the third master doing?"

"You will know in a while." Jia Fang said relaxedly.

Not long after, the whole device was completed.Jia Fang pushed Sun and Fuya into the west chamber, then went back to the bedroom by himself, and in front of Zhao Cheng who was standing there stupidly, stretched out his hand and pulled the leash on the head of his bed.

At the same time, the small brass bell in the west chamber rang happily.

This is the first gadget that Jia Fang has made since he came to this world. It has nothing to do with his professional skills, it is just a simple communication device.Jia put it on the head of his bed and gently pulled it, and he could hear it immediately from the west wing.

To put it bluntly, Jia Fang made this bell-pulling device just for his own sleep quality considerations.You know, when he first arrived in this world, when he was still in a daze of illness, he was once taken aback by Fuya—when he was recuperating on a canopy bed in the house, this little girl made a bed and slept on it. On the step in front of his bunk bed.

Thinking about it afterwards, Jia Fang realized that this was not worth making a fuss about.After all, in the original book of the Red Chamber, there is always a big maid waiting in Baoyu's room, who can serve tea and pour water at any time in the evening.What's more, when he was sick, it was normal for someone to stay in the room to take care of him.

But he is a light person, and he is used to living alone.One more person in the room breathing at night can keep him from sleeping.Jia Fang never thought about putting a big girl in the room like the princes and brothers in the original book of the Red Chamber.

Therefore, Jia Fang had repeatedly persuaded Sun and Fuya to go back to their own rooms in the west chamber to rest, but Sun was worried about life and death. He was afraid that when Jia Fang asked for tea and water at night, no one would take care of him. He also said that the old lady was like this when she was alive. It makes no sense that the old lady left, and they started to be lazy as servants.

Jia Fang is quite stubborn in his bones, but when he does things, he will consider the feelings of others, especially those who treat him well.That's why he fiddled with such a simple communication device.

When Sun heard the bell ringing, she took Fuya out of the west chamber in a hurry, sighed at Jia Fang and said, "Pull a rope and hang a bell, if you really don't want us old and young to stick around you You can do it right now—Master, if you have something to do, ring the bell to call us, and when we hear the ringing, we will rush to your room to ask questions."

But Jia Fang raised his eyebrows and showed a bright smile: "Why is it so troublesome? Sun Mama, just wait and see."

So Jia Fang fiddled with each other in the two rooms for a while, and installed a scroll made of mulberry paper on each end of the copper wire leading to the two rooms.He asked Sun Ma to go back to the West Wing and sit on the kang, and then put the mulberry paper roll in the West Wing next to her ear for her to hold.Jia Fang himself returned to the bedroom and said softly to the scroll: "Mother Sun..."

Suddenly there was a huge movement in the west wing, as if a stool had been overturned on the ground.

Jia Fang was startled, he stuffed the scroll into Zhao Cheng's hand, and rushed to the next door by himself, only to see Sun Mama's face turned ashen, and she kicked the stool in front of the kang to the ground.Sun Ma had already thrown the mulberry paper roll away, and after a while she said in a trembling voice, "Brother Fang, I heard a fairy calling me by my ear just now, and the voice is exactly the same as yours."

Facing Mama Sun, an old man, Jia Fang had no way to explain, saying that sound waves travel faster in solids than in air, and copper wires can minimize the loss of sound waves during propagation.

He just waved his hand, and Fuya, the fearless little girl, climbed onto the kang, stretched out her hand to hug the scroll, and shouted loudly at the scroll: "Ah—"

Zhao Cheng, who stayed in the bedroom next door, also let out a strange "ah", and then yelled at the paper tube: "Fuya, you shouted so loudly that it made my ears buzz..."

Fuya heard every word of these words clearly, sitting on the kang, giggling, and said to Sun Ma: "Grandma, you are watching me talking to Uncle Cheng here, just like facing each other."

Jia Fang then said to Mrs. Sun: "You see, that was not some fairy just now, but me. Actually... when I was ill a while ago, the old ancestor entrusted me with a dream, saying that you were in her After serving by your side for so many years, it is really hard to take care of me now. My ancestor told me to follow this method immediately after I recovered from my illness, so that your old life will be easier..."

When mentioning the old lady who had already returned home, Sun's eyes were full of tears, and she wiped it carelessly before saying: "In this mansion, only the old lady is the one who loves the poor and the weak, and knows how to cherish the people below her... ..."

"So I did exactly what the old lady said in the dream. In the future, if I have something to do, I will just ring the bell, and then I will use this electricity... This megaphone will tell me whether I want tea or water, At that time, it doesn't matter if it's you or Fuya, just send it to my house."

"Look, you and Fuya can rest comfortably in your own room, isn't it the same as sleeping in my room?"

Jia Fang talked about racing, but said in his heart: In fact, this is a local phone!
