In less than two days, Tan Xiao finalized a large courtyard in the north of the city.

It is said that a rich family was planning to build a new house, but unfortunately they offended someone in Bianjing, so they were forced to move their family.

The previous owner had just built a general appearance, a spacious courtyard, three large empty rooms surrounded on three sides by the entrance, and two smaller rooms, the entire layout is clear at a glance.

In the house, only a small part of the limestone was plastered on the walls, the floor was not paved, and the decoration appliances were piled up in a mess, and they were sold in a hurry without cleaning up.

This is in line with her requirements. The library doesn't need any elaborate and luxurious decorations, just simple and elegant. If she really wants to buy a finished product, she has to remove a lot of decorations that get in the way.

It was precisely because of her haste that she won this yard, or rough house, which covers an area of ​​about five or six hundred square meters, at a very low price.

Wu Qing was a little free today, so he came with her.

After going around in a circle, Tan Xiao had a preliminary idea of ​​how to arrange it, so he told him one by one.

"These three rooms are used as a library. After the walls are painted, they can be decorated a little bit. Just put a few large bookshelves, tables and chairs. The other two are small, one can be used as a cafeteria, and the other can be used as a hut. What do you think? Sample?"

Ruthlessly nodded and smiled: "Very good, you are very thoughtful."

She walked slowly back and forth in the house, looking around, thinking about the decoration as she went.

The wall and floor must be removed first. The wall is easy to handle, just apply blue lime on the whole, but the floor is more troublesome.

Right now there are two choices, wooden floor or blue brick floor, both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The former is expensive, and wood treated with tung oil and paint cannot resist fire at all. The advantage is that it looks better.

The price of green brick floor is low, and it is the first choice for ordinary people to decorate their homes. It is definitely not as beautiful as wooden floor. The disadvantage is that it is easy to get damp and wears out quickly. It has to be replaced every three to five years.

There were still many odd and small questions. Thinking of these, she seemed to realize how big a deal she had taken on, and let out a long sigh.

And most importantly, the purchase of books.

She can't do this at all, which are useful and which are useless miscellaneous books, except for the well-known Four Books and Five Classics, she doesn't know anything else.

Therefore, this matter must be done by someone who is full of knowledge.

Ruthless is the best candidate, but the procurement is trivial and troublesome, and he needs to keep running around in various libraries. He is already busy enough, so he definitely won't be able to spare so much time.

She glanced at him tangled up, feeling sorry for herself.

Wu Qing, who was always paying attention to her, discovered her embarrassment immediately, and asked in a gentle voice: "What's the matter, what problem did you encounter, do you need my help?"

After Tan Xiao said this, he ruthlessly frowned his slender eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "That's a problem."

She was right in thinking, she has really run out of skills recently, while worrying about wedding preparations, she has to go to the new house from time to time to see the progress of the decoration, and spend two hours every day doing rehabilitation exercises, new martial arts and sword skills, etc. Wait, there is also the youngest son of the servant of the household department who was beaten to death in a dark alley for causing trouble outside. The murderer has not yet been seen. As a member of the Cai Party, the officials will order it from time to time. The pressure from the top and political opponents is also quite high. of.

Tan Xiao suddenly thought of a person, she said: "I know who to ask for help in this matter, but whether it will work depends on whether you are willing to let him go."

Wuqing thought for a while, and knew who she was talking about: "You mean Brother Gu?"

"Yes, is there a better candidate than him?" Tan Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "He is knowledgeable, talented, knowledgeable, and gentle and humble. As a friend, he will definitely be willing to help me with this favor." of."

she thought with great confidence.

As Wuqing listened, his complexion gradually faded. Although he knew that she said these words purely from the standpoint of a friend, it was the first time he heard that she had such a high opinion of any man besides himself. How much did he feel? Some taste.

"You think highly of him." He said lightly.

Tan Xiao nodded, and said with a serious face: "Brother Gu is very kind, and he is very polite to me. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and couldn't express his ambition. And when I first came, I was entangled by hooligans, and he even helped me." And me."

Wu Qing had never heard her mention this matter before, so he couldn't care less about being jealous for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on here?"

Tan Xiao patted his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, but when I passed by Tianshui Lane, a gangster said something frivolous. Before he had time to do anything, Brother Gu appeared."

The slight hostility toward Gu Xichao in Wuqing's heart instantly turned into gratitude, and he said softly, "I should find a chance to thank Brother Gu."

"Then tell Shenhou to give him some time off." Tan Xiao grabbed his cuffs and looked up at him expectantly, fully showing his big Kazilan eyes of Bulling Bulling.

Wuqing clenched his fists on his lips and laughed twice, saying: "When I see Brother Gu, I will tell him about this, and I will trouble him for a while."

She went on to say: "You have to find some reliable workers for me. I want to order a lot of bookshelves, tables and chairs, and I also need masons."

As one of the local snakes, Wuqing's way is definitely much wider than that of Tan Xiao. With him in charge, no one would dare to fool her with shabby projects, or be charged extra fees.

These are all trivial matters, and he agreed with them.

Then she dragged Wuqing around, excitedly telling him what the future library would look like and what she wanted to do.

"At that time, several rows of large bookshelves will be placed on both sides of each room, with a distance of two body positions between each bookshelf, and tables and chairs will be placed in the middle. Use that kind of big rectangular table. The table can seat more than a dozen people, so each study room can accommodate about 50 people..."

Wuqing followed behind her, with a warm smile on his face all the time, being a conscientious listener, and when asked some questions, he expressed his opinions without any perfunctory.

The delay was a bit long, and when I came out of the yard, the sky had already turned dark, and lanterns were hung here and there in the street.

There was light snow in the sky, and before the thin snow fell and spread a layer of white on the ground, it was trampled by the passing pedestrians.

Tan Xiao suddenly became playful, and walked to a place where no one had passed by, where the snow had not yet melted.

"Watch me make a magic trick for you, hey-hey-"

She jumped up and down and stepped on a little rabbit with long ears on the snow.

The big red cloak fluttered lightly behind him, like a ball of dancing flames, and the hood was covered with a cloud of beautiful hair. Looking from the back, one could only see a circle of thick, soft and fluffy rabbit fur. Following the master's movements, trembling slightly in the night wind, pitiful and cute.

After standing still, she turned her head triumphantly, and asked him with a bright smile: "Look at what this is, there will be a reward for guessing right."

The smile on Wuqing's face deepened. He looked at the funny and incomprehensible pattern on the snow, and pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Isn't it something I've seen before? Could it be some kind of embroidery pattern?"

"No, no, take a closer look, what do the two above your head look like?"

After a long while of ruthless observation, he replied with certainty: "I know, it must be some kind of strange beast recorded in the Shan Hai Jing."

Tan Xiao rolled his eyes at him with hatred: "Why are you so stupid, what kind of strange beast, this is obviously a little rabbit! Look at the ears and limbs, isn't that obvious!"

Although he had already guessed what it was, Wuqing was still silent for a moment after hearing her say it.

Is there a rabbit that walks upright like a human in this world... She can do whatever she says.

Tan Xiao put his hands on his hips and proudly announced: "Since this classmate failed the exam, I announce that your reward is gone."

Wu Qing approached, and asked with a low smile: "Excuse me, Master, what was my original reward?"

Tan Xiao rolled his eyes, saw a seller of candied haws not far away, and pointed out: "That's the reward."

She ran over to buy a bunch, then ran back, bit off one in front of him, with an intoxicated look on her face, "Oh, how can there be such delicious food in the world, I'm going to be so delicious", while Chewing with a click.

After eating a candied haws, she licked the candy stains on the corners of her lips, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, it should be shared between the two of us, it's a pity that you didn't guess the answer, so now you just You can watch me eat."

Wuqing bent down, his forehead was about to touch her, and said in a low voice: "It's because I was too stupid to guess the correct answer. Master has a lot, I hope you will be more generous, give me a bite."

There were circles of ripples in his eyes, and his light and gentle smile was like starlight falling into the stream, bright and resplendent.

Tan laughed, and pretended to be serious with a stern face on purpose: "How can you change what you say so easily, don't treat me differently just because of my special relationship."

"However..." She looked at him smiling so beautifully, and sighed softly, with a look on her face that she really couldn't help you, and said: "Although you are a bit stupid, your attitude is commendable, so I will reward you." You have one."

She laughed mercilessly twice, and her deep magnetic voice was like a small hammer hitting her heart lightly, making her face a little hot unconsciously.

She muttered a few words: "Why are you laughing, you bastard."

Wuqing lowered his head suddenly, a few strands of icy cold hair fell on her hand, his face was close to the candied haws, he opened his lips and bit half of one, chewing slowly, his fiery eyes as bright as stars were always tight Keep an eye on her.

Tan Xiao blushed from being stared at, she had the illusion that she had turned into the bunch of candied haws in her hand, and was eaten by him bite by bite.

She moved uncomfortably, and ate the half by herself, forgetting that it was bitten ruthlessly.

Seeing this, Wuqing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he approached slowly, so close that the breath of the two of them sprayed on each other's faces.

Suddenly a faint sigh came.

His ruthless eyes immediately became sharp as a knife, he looked to the side, and saw a tall and strong figure standing in the shadow of a low wall not far away, and he hadn't been spotted just now.

The man came out and frowned mercilessly: "Chasing life? What are you doing here?"

Zhui Ming's face was full of vicissitudes, and he let out another long sigh, and said: "Brother, I have been looking for you for a long time..."

Wuqing and Tan Xiao stood apart a little, he coughed and said, "Is Uncle Shi looking for me, or is there something urgent?"

Zhui Ming said helplessly: "It's something urgent, I have to go back to you to discuss it, otherwise I really don't want to disturb you, who would want to be so annoying every day..."

Wuqing looked sideways at Tan Xiao: "Since that's the case, I'll take you back."

On the way back, the snow slowly fell and grew bigger. When he walked to the door, Tan Xiao leaned into his ear and whispered, "Don't be too tired."

Wu Qing glanced at Zhu Ming, who immediately looked up at the sky, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.

He squeezed her hand gently, and said with a smile: "Go in, I will take care of the things you said as soon as possible."

After saying a few words, Wuqing followed Zhuiming and walked in the direction of Shenhou Mansion.

Tan Xiao looked at the backs of the two walking further and further away on the snowy ground, pursed his lips and smiled, and entered his bedroom.

The author has something to say:

There was a sudden power outage at ten o'clock last night, and I wrote more than 1000 words. I came back from get off work tonight and read it. I didn't save it, and my heart was bleeding...
