Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 25: I am so bad!

The stone tables and benches were brought by two oxcarts. A total of four master masons carried them into the gate and placed them in a suitable position under the jujube tree according to Ji Yuan's instructions.

Including tables, stools and labor, it cost Jiyuan 1 tael of silver. It can be said to be the most expensive item in this expense. The four master masons put away the things, collected the balance, and left without saying a word. In Ju'an Pavilion, Ji Yuan wanted to be polite and offer him a drink of water, but he didn't even say so.

Now that Ji Yuan had a place to rest, he sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, watching the people working in the side room of the main house and going over from time to time to point out what should be put where.

‘These ancient market traders actually had quite a professional ethics, and their hands and feet were so nimble! ’

And look at the women and men who are cleaning. They don’t work too hard. Originally they said they would clean it in half a day, but now Ji Yuan estimates that with their sweaty working methods, it will only take more than an hour at most. Call it a day!

What's interesting is that some shops come to deliver things but don't come in, such as the one selling bedding. In some shops, the clerks bring the things in, take the balance and leave without saying much or even glancing, as if there is something wrong. It's like an emergency.

The group of people who were invited to clean were relatively normal. They were busy cleaning and the work at hand was unambiguous. Even if someone wanted to chat, the manager would stop them. I don’t know if the working conditions are so strict. .

‘The ancients were hardworking! ’

Ji Yuan sighed in his heart and continued to be in a daze while holding his chin.

The cleaning work is basically a dust removal process, cleaning the dust in each room, and then wiping it with wet towels and mops. Someone also specially re-pasted the paper on the windows.

Ji Yuan was curious, so he went to crush it with his hands and found that the paper used to paste the windows was very tough. It was almost an oil paper used for making umbrellas. It was not like what was shown on TV and could be poked with just a little saliva. Damn it, even if it’s windy or rainy, it’ll be absolutely fine.

. . .

I don’t know how much time passed, but when I heard people in several rooms going about their business, Ji Yuan, who was yawning, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He subconsciously turned his head towards the well and frowned at it for a long time.

Due to the need for water for cleaning, the cover on the well has been removed. Just now, he felt that it was a little cooler in this direction. Now he looked at it, and the entire well surface was dark, and he didn't know if it was because it was shaded by trees.

As Ji Yuan opened his eyes slightly, he seemed to see how awkward the shadows under the well looked, giving him a gloomy feeling.

I don’t know why, but my mind couldn’t help but recall some horror movies I had watched in my previous life, which gave Ji Yuan some goosebumps.

‘I’m really scaring myself! ! ’

Rubbing his arms, Ji Yuan forced himself not to make random associations.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji?"

At this moment, a deafening sound seemed to come from the horizon, which shocked Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan woke up with a tremor, only to realize that he had just fallen asleep lying on the stone table.

When he turned around, he saw that the helpers hired to clean the mansion had already arrived in the yard with buckets and tools. A total of eight of them were standing next to him.

"Mr. Ji, we have finished cleaning. Can you take a look?"

"Is cleaning done? So soon?"

"Uh hey, yeah, take a look, if you're not satisfied we can clean it up again."

Now that he has said that, Ji Yuan also stood up from the stone bench.

"Okay, let me take a look!"

I walked around several rooms, and from time to time I stretched out my hand to wipe the gaps in the window sills, and looked under the bed and in every corner. Basically, they were all clean.

When I went to hire people today, many people refused to come when they heard that they were in the corner of Tianniufang. This team doubled the price because of luck, but now it seems that it is worth the money.

Going out into the yard, the group of people stood there waiting.

"Not bad, thank you for your hard work"

Ji Yuan took out the money bag, put out a pile of five treasures, counted forty in front of them, and then added two more to put on top.

"This is wages. The extra 10 cents will be used to treat everyone to tea!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ji!" "Thank you, Mr. Ji!"

"Then let's leave first?"

As everyone expressed their thanks, the leading man hurriedly picked up the money and said goodbye.

"Okay, walk slowly and don't send me away!"

Ji Yuan put on a gentle look, smiled and nodded. After all, he had not yet tried to show off his new outfit today, so he had to practice it anyway.

However, the reactions of these helpers were similar before and after, and they were all very enthusiastic. It was hard to tell whether it was because of money or the demeanor of seeking fate.

It wasn't until the footsteps of a group of people were walking a little further away that Ji Yuan could vaguely hear some vague and detailed discussions.

“This house is really nice!!”

"Hey, Mr. Ji is quite a nice person, he seems to be a knowledgeable man!"

"The name of this house always sounds familiar..."

The leader just urged when he heard this.

"Stop talking, walk faster, walk faster!"

“You can’t tell how old that gentleman is, but he looks so good-looking!”

"He also said, hurry up and leave, what's the use of looking good?"

……

Okay, after hearing the last few sentences, Ji Yuan was satisfied, but I just couldn’t see what age meant. Is it possible that I could still think of myself as old? What's the use of looking good? Better than not looking good!

At this time, the sun was setting in the west and it was still close to dusk.

Although Cheng She in the several rooms was still relatively simple, it was still complete. Ji Yuan was sitting in the yard, feeling lost in thought.

It's a pity that there is no Internet, no mobile phone, and there are no innocent young heroes who come to Mr. Ji from time to time.

"Hey, I'm a little lonely...hiss..."

Sighing, Ji Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at the well nervously. He stood up and walked to the edge, grabbed the wooden cover and covered the well mouth again with a bang.

"Huh... I feel more comfortable. I should have watched less horror movies in my previous life and scared myself!"

. . .

In the middle of the night, the watchman's voice spread far in the silent night, and also reached Ji Yuan's ears.

“Dong…dong dong…”

"It's safe and sound~~~~"

“Dong…dong dong…”

"It's safe and sound~~~~"

……

I don’t know why. I turned to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com Jiyuan and couldn’t sleep tonight. I tried various tricks such as counting sheep and doing exercises, but it didn’t work.

As soon as the watchman knocked the clapper, Ji Yuan, who had his eyes closed, realized that it was already the third watch. He still understood this after he knocked the clapper three times.

Although it is actually just after 11 o'clock in the evening, it gets dark early now and there are no entertainment activities. Going to bed early and getting up early is the right thing here.

‘Is it possible that I tricked someone into claiming my bed? Or are you too excited about owning a house? ’

Just as he was thinking this, Ji Yuan suddenly felt that the temperature had become a lot cooler without even realizing it.

"Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak..."

The creaking sound of an old wooden board came from the yard outside the door. It was very soft, but it could not escape Ji Yuan's ears.

Ji Yuan paused, keeping absolutely quiet and listening carefully, hoping that it was just an auditory hallucination.

"Creak..."

The wooden planks at the wellhead that were holding down the stones were lifted up little by little, making the sound of being overwhelmed by the wood.

Ji Yuan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. All the associations during the day flashed through his mind. A chill ran down his spine, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead like magic.

"Creak..."

"Bang..."

The stone on the wooden board fell to the ground, and Ji Yuan's heart beat hard as the stone fell to the ground.

The wooden cover was pushed aside, and dense hair overflowed from the well mouth...

"Gulu..."

As the chill grew heavier, Ji Yuan took a gulp of water, pulled the quilt on the bed, and quietly covered his head with extremely slow movements.

‘Damn it… I don’t think fate will be so unlucky! ! ! Damn broker, I'll kill your mother's ancestors! ! ’
