Chapter 1164: Budget for the House Chapter 1164: Budget for the House Editor: Henyee Translations Gu Yundong shook his head.

“Uncle Feng is very busy now.

He has a few major businesses on hand that he has to personally keep an eye on, so I didn’t look for him.” Feng Daneng had always been grateful to Gu Yundong.

If the Gu family wanted to build a house, he would come personally without a word.

It was Gu Yundong who stopped him.

He had finally stabilized his footing in the prefectural city and happened to have an urgent job in his hands.

He had agreed with his boss that he would do it personally and had a completion date.

If he ignored it at this juncture, his good reputation would be ruined.

Therefore, Gu Yundong found his disciple, Xiao Gao.

Xiao Gao had always followed Feng Daneng and did not leave when he was down and out.

He was a very patient and meticulous person.

He was also diligent in his work.

Gu Yundong was relieved.

As for the renovation of the shop in the capital that Aunt Ke had mentioned to Gu Yundong, she had also looked for Feng Daneng.

Feng Daneng thought about it for a long time and rejected it.

Even though he knew that this was a very rare opportunity given to him by Gu Yundong, even though he also wanted to go up, he was very clear about his ability.

If he walked too quickly, it would be easy for him to fall down.

It was better to build a solid foundation in the prefectural city before developing to the surroundings.

Didn’t everybody see that Gu Yundong’s shop was only open in the prefectural city and not in the capital?

It was not that she had no money or ability, but it was just not time yet.

The New Tea Pavilion business only dared to take down the shop because of Madam Dai and Nie Shuang.

They had connections in the capital.

Therefore, they were still discussing finding suitable craftsmen for the renovation of New Tea Pavilion in the capital.

Chen Liang nodded when he heard what she meant.

“Xiao Gao is an expert too.

He knows how to be grateful.

He could have finished his apprenticeship long ago.

He has always been by Daneng’s side.

It won’t be a problem to hand him over.” Gu Yundong nodded and told Chen Liang the start date.

Then, she bid farewell to Madam Zhou and returned to the Gu residence.

The next day, the news that the Gu family was going to build a house spread.

At this moment, farming had begun.

Many people were busy, but anyone who had some free time would come and help.

Gu Xiaoxi and Bian Han’s house was at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Yundong had bought the land in their name.

The land at the foot of the mountain became extremely hot because of the newly built road.

Recently, a few families had already built houses nearby.

There were too many people living in the original houses, so they chose this place after splitting up.

Gu Xiaoxi and Bian Han had taken a closer look at the location and were thinking about the shape of the house.

After learning that the Gu family’s brick house was designed and painted by Gu Yundong, Gu Xiaoxi took a brush and paper and stuffed them into her hands without hesitation.

“Help me draw one too.

I don’t need one as big as yours.

Just, just a smaller one.” He tried his best to restrain his gaze from looking at the green brick house in front of him, lest he lost control and wanted to build it bigger.

Gu Yundong was amused by his bitter expression.

“Alright, then tell me first.

How much do you plan to spend on building this house?” Gu Xiaoxi counted with his fingers and gritted his teeth.

“Thirty to forty taels.

At most, it won’t exceed forty taels.” Gu Yundong knew what to do.

“Alright, I’ll draw it for you.” Bian Han’s budget was originally not as high as Gu Xiaoxi’s.

He did not have more than 100 taels of silver in his hands.

However, there was still a fire burning in his heart.

Hence, he gritted his teeth and planned to build a house like Gu Xiaoxi’s.

Gu Yundong nodded and began to draw.

However, the next day, Bian Han returned to Xuanhe Prefecture.
