Datang New Giants

Chapter 209 Change of Attitude
Lu Ting immediately said: "What conditions does Zheng Wailang have, but it doesn't matter."

Talented people usually have a strange temper. Lu Ting has heard many people say that Zheng Cheng is not easy to get along with, so he has already prepared in his heart.

Zheng Cheng said bluntly: "It's okay to ask the old man to help you design and build the house, but I don't like other people to tell me what to do. From the design to the construction, the old man has the final say. Without the old man's consent, even if it is you, you can do it yourself." It cannot be changed anywhere.”

For the house, Zheng Cheng has a mentality of pursuing perfection. Every house in his own hands is like a work created by himself, and he does not allow others to judge his work.

I am most afraid of those who don't know how to pretend to understand, who don't know anything, and just like to command indiscriminately. If the house they make is ugly, it will be their own signboard. Zheng Cheng doesn't want his reputation to be damaged.

Zheng Yanzhi turned her head and gave Lu Ting a wink, signaling him to agree quickly.

Zheng Yanzhi is very clear about the clan uncle's temper. In order to convince this stubborn clan uncle, Zheng Yanzhi has been running here a lot recently, and finally pestered him to agree that if Lu Ting rebelled against him and made him unhappy, the previous efforts would be in vain. up.

Seeing Zheng Yanzhi's gaze, Lu Ting hesitated, and quickly said, "Of course, Zheng Wailang, if you have any ideas, can you mention them?"

A house is for living in, not only to live well, but also to be pleasing to the eye and to live comfortably. Lu Ting is most afraid of the generation gap in aesthetics.

Zheng Cheng's age is far behind his own, and besides, he is a second generation man, and his aesthetics are also different from ordinary people. If you want to create a style that only old men like, then you might as well do it yourself.

Zheng Cheng's face was a little displeased, but for the sake of his niece, he reluctantly said: "It's your house, if you have ideas, of course you can mention it."

The Lu Ting in front of him is very good at talking, he doesn't say opinions, but uses ideas, which is much more tactful.

Of course, it is one thing to mention it, but another to disagree with it.

"That's natural." Lu Ting said with a smile.

Zheng Cheng didn't say anything, he turned around and took out a circled drawing from the drawing tank at the side, put it in front of Lu Ting, and said with some pride: "Look, this is the design drawing for your house."

"No way, so fast?" Lu Ting's eyes widened in surprise.

I have just entrusted him to build a house, the requirements have not been clarified, and the land has not been measured, so I have a plan?

The efficiency is not amazing, it is scary.

Zheng Cheng said calmly: "The homesteads in Chang'an City are allocated according to the number of people. The size, height, roof truss, and door orientation are all regulated in detail. The copy is the graffiti of the old man in his spare time, just in time."

Among the many cities in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City can be unique. It is most appropriate to use "a hundred thousand houses are like a game of Go, and twelve streets are like a vegetable garden". Quantity is fine.

It seemed that he didn't pay enough attention to it. After all, the relationship between Lu Ting and the Zheng family in Xingyang was unusual, and he might become his niece and son-in-law. Zheng Cheng thought about it for a while, and quickly added: "The old man of your house has seen it, don't worry, you can't be wrong. "

It turned out that this was the case, Lu Ting suddenly realized, and responded, and after getting Zheng Cheng's consent, he quickly opened the design drawing.

As soon as he opened the design drawing, Lu Ting's eyes lit up. On the paper was a very beautiful house, pond, rockery, back garden, door walls, halls, corridors, pavilions, etc. were all clearly drawn. Marking notes, Zheng Cheng used the floor plan to intuitively show Lu Ting what it will look like in the future.

The painting is very delicate, as exquisite as a work of art.

When Lu Ting was watching, Zheng Yanzhi, who was standing aside, also stretched her head over with great interest, looking at the design drawing that Zheng Cheng took out.

Even Lu Ting didn't notice, Zheng Yanzhi looked at it, thinking of something, her ears turned red.

Lu Ting nodded secretly. This master craftsman who is known as the best in the Tang Dynasty has a well-deserved reputation. He can see his skills as soon as he makes a move. His land is not big, but Zheng Cheng has done enough work. From the design point of view, within the limited space , using the "connected houses and wide mansions" style of garden layout to surround two relatively open inner court spaces, the sight line is not blocked, and there is a sense of space and distance, creating a pattern of a small garden.

just
After reading it, he looked up at Zheng Cheng, and saw that Zheng Cheng was adding vinegar to his tea in a leisurely way, without even glancing at Lu Ting from the corner of his eyes, obviously confident in his design.

Lu Ting said thoughtfully: "Zheng Wailang is really amazing, once he makes a move, he is extraordinary. This design is definitely a masterpiece, but"

Zheng Cheng put down the vinegar pot in his hand, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said without changing his face: "What advice, Master Lu?"

What I said earlier sounds right. Once you hear the word "just", you know there is more to come.

Lu Ting quickly said: "I don't dare to give advice, but I don't understand a few points very clearly. I want to ask Zheng Wailang for advice."

"Oh, tell me."

Lu Ting spread out the blueprint, pointed to a place in the northwest corner and said, "Zheng Wailang, if this junior reads correctly, this is a stable, right?"

Just glanced at it, Zheng Cheng quickly nodded and said: "That's right, this house is used as a stable. The reason for building it here is simple. It is far away from the wing room, and the smell does not affect people. It is near the door and cleans up the horse manure." It’s also convenient, you can’t walk around the house and carry it out, and there’s another point, it’s located here, the monsoon’s influence time is the shortest.”

For a successful designer, even a small stable must be perfected, taking into account the wind direction.

"This design is very good, but the land is not big, and a stable is set up, so there is less space to use." Lu Ting said.

"Oh, is there any more?" Zheng Cheng frowned and said calmly.

Lu Ting didn't seem to notice Zheng Cheng's frown, pointed to the map and said, "It seems that there are fewer rooms, can the utility room be cancelled?"

"Any more?"

"I want to change the window from the push-open type to the pull-open type. By the way, it's better to make it bigger."

Zheng Yanzhi saw that Uncle Clan had a bad face, and knew that he was upset. If it wasn't for her own sake, she might have scolded Lu Ting for pretending to understand, and it was possible to serve tea to see off guests.

"Mr. Lu" Zheng Yanzhi hurriedly persuaded: "Don't you have a carriage? If you don't build a stable, where will the carriage be placed? You can't stop the carriage at random on the street. Just leave this matter to the uncle. He has experience. I will definitely help you do it properly, right, Uncle Clan."

After speaking, Zheng Yanzhi turned her head and threw the question to Zheng Cheng.

This design is very good, even Zheng Yanzhi was fascinated when she saw it, why Lu Ting was not satisfied.

Zheng Yanzhi believed that with his own face, the clan uncle would definitely do his best, so there was no need to worry.

For professional matters, just leave it to professional people, why bother, if Uncle Ruozu is unhappy and quits, it’s not good for him to speak again, for fear that the two of them will quarrel, so he hastened to make peace.

Zheng Cheng looked at his little niece, and responded with a helpless wry smile.

I've never seen someone help outsiders like this before, if it was someone else, maybe Zheng Chengcheng would see off the guests, but my favorite little niece opened her mouth to save face.

Zheng Cheng shook his head, and said with some doubts: "Master Lu, you mean that you don't want a stable? How to arrange the horses and carriages? Even if they don't exist now, what about in the future?"

Chang'an City is so big, it would be inconvenient to not have a carriage, even if it doesn't exist now, what about in the future?
People who can buy a property in Chang'an City are still in a very good position, and still lack the money for a carriage?
You can't just don't want it now, but if you really want it in the future, it will be demolished and smashed. Wouldn't that destroy the structure and layout of the entire house?

Lu Ting said surprisingly: "Yes, but the place is small. I want to build the stables underground and build an underground garage. No, it's called an underground stable."

Underground stables?

Lu Ting looked around, took a pen and paper from the desk, and wrote down his thoughts.

There are many rules in Chang'an City. The house's structure, height, size, door opening direction, etc. are clearly regulated. Now that Lu Ting has no official status, it is a bit difficult to think of a house that he likes. It is especially small and the height is limited. Find a way to go underground and make an underground layer.

Lu Ting had thought of this idea long ago, to build an underground garage, and then build two basements for storing sundries, so as to make full use of the space.

In addition to the basement, Lu Ting also put in some design concepts from later generations, such as building a small hanging garden, and put a lot of effort into the bathroom.

Lu Ting was drawing while explaining. Zheng Cheng on the side looked disapproving at the beginning, a bit like watching a play, to see what tricks Lu Ting could come up with. Slowly, Zheng Cheng's face gradually became dignified, and he was standing straight Slowly bent down, and finally lay directly on the table, talking more, first asked some things that he didn't understand, and then began to talk more, and from time to time he asked Lu Ting for advice in a tone of shameless questioning.

Halfway through the talk, he felt a little thirsty, Zheng Cheng poured himself a cup of tea, and naturally also poured a cup for Lu Ting.

Could it be that he has always had a higher eye than the uncle of the Ding family, but he took the initiative to pour tea for Lu Ting?

Zheng Yanzhi on the side was dumbfounded.

At the beginning, I was afraid that the two would quarrel, and I didn't know how to persuade them. I never dreamed that Lu Ting would become the leader instead of customers. Instead, the uncle asked Lu Ting to ask questions like a student, and even told Lu Ting himself. Tea.

The blueprint that was so precious just now, he said that without his consent, he could not modify a single stroke. Now let Lu Ting directly change the drawing on the blueprint, and I didn't see him getting angry at all, painting in Lu Ting At the time, I was still saying things like "good change" and "yes, yes, this is more interesting".

"Hong Ling, am I not dreaming?" Zheng Yanzhi asked in disbelief.

When did the clan uncle who never let others change his drawings become so easy to talk to?

Hong Ling was also a little surprised and said: "Miss, the maid also felt like she was dreaming, just pinched herself twice, Mr. Lu is so powerful, why does he seem to understand everything."

After Zheng Yanzhi agreed to Lu Ting's help in persuading Zheng Cheng, it took a lot of effort to persuade Zheng Cheng to make a move. Hong Ling followed the lady all the time, knowing how stubborn Zheng Wailang was, before Lu Ting took a pen and paper, he was still so arrogant , took a pen and said some of my own thoughts, and in a blink of an eye, the two seemed to have become friends who forgot their years.

It's amazing.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Zheng Cheng said with some insatiable intentions: "Nephew Lu Xian, you said that the cement is so magical. It was as soft as mud at the beginning, and it could be molded arbitrarily, and then it became harder and harder. After a few days Solid as a rock, is there really such a miraculous thing in the world?"

Lu Ting's idea is not only novel, but also difficult to construct. For example, laying stone slabs on the interlayer, and building with the current materials, the firmness may not be able to bear it. After raising this question, a new thing called cement was introduced from Lu Ting The words came from Zheng Cheng's mouth, which aroused Zheng Cheng's great interest.

This word came from other people, Zheng Cheng didn't believe it at all, but the person who spoke was Lu Ting, who was valued even by his clan brother Zheng Yuanxuan, so he had a little more confidence.

If he is not optimistic, how can he let his precious daughter get so close to him.

Good guy, before meeting, he called Mr. Lu a little distantly, and changed his name to nephew.

Lu Ting said with some regret: "Yes, give me some time, and my nephew can get it out. Unfortunately, I have to go to Qianquan the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be too late."

The process of cement is not difficult. Lu Ting knows the formula and the general process, and he can make it in a little time, but he will go to the West Turkic Mission with the mission the day after tomorrow, and he will definitely not be able to make it in only one day.

"Not in a hurry." Zheng Cheng pointed to the somewhat flowery design drawing and said, "According to my nephew's vision, there are a lot of materials that need to be collected, and a lot of materials need to be purchased in the far south of the Yangtze River. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. , After listening to what my nephew said, Xiao Lao has a lot of new ideas, and this design needs to be improved."

Before Lu Ting could speak, Zheng Cheng pointed his fingers and said, "Xiao Lao is in the Ministry of Industry and has some contacts. It is not difficult to get the official documents for the house to be demolished and rebuilt, but to use the underground, a lot of earthwork needs to be excavated. The house site is close to the transportation canal." , if the basement is to be built, waterproofing is also a big project, and it can't be done well in a few months every year. During the time when my nephew went to Qianquan as an envoy, it happened to do these foundations."

Originally, he wanted to send Lu Ting away with a design drawing, but after hearing Lu Ting's new idea, especially Lu Ting said that he could use it freely regardless of the cost, which aroused Zheng Cheng's great enthusiasm for creation, and he became serious.

At his age, this house should be his last work. As long as he handles it well, it is very likely to become his most proud and proud work. Zheng Cheng began to look forward to it in his heart.

Lu Ting nodded and said: "What uncle said is very true, so it's time for uncle to work. Don't worry, uncle will definitely satisfy uncle in terms of remuneration."

Zheng Cheng didn't care about the remuneration, so he waved his hand impatiently and said: "The remuneration is whatever you want, as long as you make up your mind, you will be going on a mission the day after tomorrow, why don't we discuss the plan for the basement, lest you will be dissatisfied and time-consuming when you come back from the mission?" day."

If I can really complete a work that I can be proud of, I am willing to do it for nothing without giving money. If it is for making money, with Zheng Cheng's fame and talent, I dare not say that I am rich, at least I don't need to rent a house in Chang'an, or live with Shared rent by others.

Soon, the old and the young sat on the desk and had a serious discussion, leaving Zheng Yanzhi aside, and could only stare at the maidservant Hong Ling.

My most favored niece seems to be an outsider
