The stone tables and benches were pulled by two bullock carts. 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.

Together with the tables, stools and labor, it cost a tael of silver, which can be said to be the most expensive item in this expenditure. The four master stonemasons finished putting away the things and collected the balance, and left Ju'an Elementary School without saying a word. Pavilion, Ji Yuan wanted to be polite and asked for a drink of water, but didn't say anything.

Now that Ji Yuan has a place to rest, he sits on a stone bench in the courtyard, watching those people in the side room of the main house busy at work, going over from time to time to give pointers on what to put where.

‘This ancient city merchant was actually quite professional, with such quick hands and feet! '

And take a look at the cleaning women and men, don't work too hard. Originally, it was said to be cleaned in half a day, but now I estimate that with their sweaty working methods, they will finish work in more than an hour at most!

What's interesting is that some shops don't come in when they come to deliver things, such as the shop that sells quilts. Some shop assistants move in and take the balance and then leave without talking or even glancing around, as if there is something urgent.

That said, the group of people who were invited to clean up were normal, and the work in hand was not ambiguous at all when they cleaned up. Even if someone wanted to chat, there were some managers who stopped them. I don't know if the working conditions are so strict.

'The ancients were industrious! '

With a sigh in his heart, Ji Yuan propped his chin and continued to be in a daze.

The cleaning work is basically a process of dust removal. The dust in each room is cleaned, and then wiped with a wet towel and mop. Some people specially re-paste the paper on the windows.

Out of curiosity, Ji Yuan rubbed it with his hands and found that this kind of paper for pasting windows is very tough, almost belonging to the oil paper used for making umbrellas. Wind and rain are absolutely no problem.

…………

I don't know how long it has passed, but Ji Yuan, who was yawning when he heard the people in several rooms busy going up and down, suddenly felt trembling, subconsciously turned his head to the well, and frowned for a long time.

Since water is needed for cleaning, the cover on the top of the well has been removed, and he felt a little cool in this direction just now. Looking at it now, the entire surface of the well is dark, and I don't know if it is because of the shade of the trees.

As Ji Yuan opened his eyes slightly, he seemed to see the shadow under the surface of the well, no matter how awkward he looked, there was a feeling of gloom when he looked at it.

I don't know why, but I can't help but recall some horror movies I watched in my previous life, which makes Ji Yuan get goosebumps.

‘I’m really scaring myself! '

Rubbing his arms, Ji Yuan forced himself not to think about it.

Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji?

At this moment, a deafening sound seemed to come from the sky, which directly startled Ji Yuan.

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

Turning his head, he saw that the helpers hired to clean the mansion had all carried buckets and tools to the yard, and a total of eight of them were standing beside him.

Mr. Ji, we finished cleaning, can you take a look?

Cleaning finished? So fast?

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

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

Okay, let me see!

I walked around a few rooms, reaching out to wipe the gaps in the window sills from time to time, and then looking under the bed and every corner, basically everything was cleaned.

When I went to hire people today, many people shied away from coming when they heard that they were at the corner of Tianniufang.

Out in the yard, the group of people stood there waiting.

Not bad, you guys have worked hard

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

This is wages, and the extra ten cents should treat everyone to tea!

Thank you Mr. Ji!

Thank you Mr. Ji!

Then shall we go first?

Amidst the sound of thanks from everyone, the leading man hastily picked up the money and bid farewell.

Okay, walk slowly!

Ji Yuan put on a gentle look, nodded with a smile, after all, today's new outfit has not been pretended yet, so he has to practice anyway.

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

It wasn't until the footsteps of a group of people walked a little away that Ji Yuan vaguely heard some vague and small discussions.

This house is really nice!!

Hey, Mr. Ji is quite a nice guy, he seems to be a learned man!

The name of this house always feels familiar...

The leader heard this only as a urging.

Stop talking, hurry up, hurry up!

That gentleman can't tell how old he is, but he looks really good-looking!

Also, hurry up, what's the use of looking good?

…………

Yes, I am satisfied after hearing the last few sentences of Ji Yuan, but I don’t know what age means. Is it possible that I can still see myself as old? What's the use of looking good? It's better than not looking good!

At this time, the sun was slanting westward, and it was already approaching dusk.

Although Cheng She in a few rooms is relatively simple, but at any rate it can be regarded as complete, and Ji Yuan is a little lost in thought while sitting in the yard.

It's a pity that there is no Internet, no mobile phones, 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 his head to look at the well nervously, stood up and walked to the side, grabbed the wooden cover and bang to cover the well again.

Phew... It's much more comfortable. In my previous life, I should have watched less scary movies and scare myself!

…………

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

Boom...boom...

It's safe and sound~~~~

Boom...boom...

It's safe and sound~~~~

…………

I don't know why, but Ji Yuan tossed and turned tonight and couldn't fall asleep. He tried various tricks such as counting sheep and doing exercises, but it didn't work.

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

Although it is actually equivalent to more than eleven o'clock in the evening, but now it is dark early and there are no entertainment activities, so going to bed early and getting up early is the truth here.

'Could it be that I think someone still accepts the bed? Or are you too excited to have a house? '

Just thinking about it, Ji Yuan suddenly felt that the temperature had cooled a lot unconsciously.

Crack...crack...crack...crack...

A kind of creaking sound of old wooden planks sounded from the yard outside the door, it was very soft, but it definitely couldn't escape Ji Yuan's ears.

Ji Yuan paused and listened absolutely quietly, hoping it was just an auditory hallucination.

Crackling...

The wooden planks at the wellhead pressing the stones were turned up little by little, making the sound of the wood being overwhelmed.

Ji Yuan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes at once, all the associations of the day flashed through his mind, the chill on his back went straight to the top of his head, and the fine sweat on his forehead appeared like magic.

Crackling...

boom!

It was the stones pressed on the wooden plank that fell to the ground, and Ji Yuan's heart jumped violently as the stones fell to the ground.

The wooden cover was pushed to one side, and dense hair overflowed from the mouth of the well...

Gulu...

As the chill became more and more severe, Ji Yuan swallowed, pulled the quilt on the bed, and covered his head quietly with extremely slow movements.

'He... Mom... Damn... I guess fate won't be so unlucky! Damn broker! '
