Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

"Yao girl, these two are the house builders I told you about. Their craftsmanship is among the best in Ruyang City."

Wanniang led her to the flower hall in the backyard. The two middle-aged men sitting inside stood up quickly when they saw the visitor.

"Is this the little friend that Wan Niang was talking about?"

"That's right. Don't underestimate this girl because she's young. She's a very successful businessman."

Wanniang praised her and asked everyone to sit down and chat.

The embroiderer outside brought tea.

The village head nodded politely. He knew it was good tea just by smelling it.

"Sister Wanniang, this is my Uncle Xu, the village head. I'll need Uncle Xu's help to oversee the construction of the house in the future. You also know my father..."

Qu Jingyao introduced Xu Lizheng to everyone. The two builders put down their teacups and looked at Qu Jingyao with more sympathy when they heard it.

"Okay, okay, girl, these two Master Lis are brothers, you can rest assured that they will be your assistants."

"Master Li, I want to build a two-story courtyard. I wonder how much money it will cost."

Qu Jingyao handed the blueprint to the two men and asked them if they could do this job.

The two looked at each other and carefully examined the so-called two-courtyard house on the drawing.

The two of them watched and muttered: "Great, great!"

"Girl, this is different from the usual two-courtyard house. Did you draw this yourself?"

Qu Jingyao smiled and nodded, then asked the two masters if such a house could be built and how much money it would cost.

"Of course I can do it. A typical two-story house would cost around two hundred taels. This one should be a bit more."

Qu Jingyao and Uncle Lizheng looked at each other and saw that he took a deep breath when he heard the price. Two hundred taels of silver was not a small amount.

He looked at Yao girl worriedly.

"Master Li, no problem. I'll have to trouble you two uncles with these. I just don't understand the other things, so I need to talk to the village head uncle."

Master Li laughed out loud and told her not to worry, he guaranteed to do a great job for her. They discussed some matters regarding the materials with Xu Lizheng.

Qu Jingyao smiled and nodded at the two of them.

"But girl, uncle has a request. Can this blueprint finally..."

He opened his mouth embarrassedly, but in the end it was his younger brother who spoke frankly:

"Girl, we will only charge the workers' wages for building this house, and we won't charge anything else. So one hundred taels will be enough. But can you give this blueprint to your uncles for use in the future?"

Qu Jingyao blinked and raised the corners of her lips, revealing a shallow arc: "I wonder what the uncles mean. Since the two uncles have spoken, then I will do as they say."

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Xu Lizheng, who was standing beside him, also showed a look of joy on his face.

This is really great. Now the girl’s family can breathe a sigh of relief.

After they had discussed everything, they agreed to go check out the location tomorrow and also ask someone to choose an auspicious day for the groundbreaking ceremony.

"Then I'll leave it to the two Uncle Lis."

Qu Jingyao bowed respectfully.

The two Master Lis were also straightforward people. They just smiled and reassured her.

Wanniang watched everyone stand up, and she smiled as she escorted the two of them out of the yard.

Xu Lizheng also said that he had to go to the grocery store, so he let the girls choose first and he would come to pick them up later.

"Okay, girl, let's go. Your mother and the others are still ahead."

Qu Jingyao nodded and followed Wanniang, telling her that they had to buy new bedding, clothes and shoes this time.

"Okay, okay, Sister Wanniang will take you to choose."

As they were talking, the two came to the front of the shop. Liu and Yue Niang were choosing fabrics, thinking that it would be more cost-effective to make the clothes themselves.

"Mom, little aunt, where are my brothers?"

"Are you done talking, Yaoyao? Your brother is taking your two younger brothers to the grocery store."

Liu said helplessly that there were too many things to buy this time.

Wanniang asked them if they had a place to stay at night since their house had burned down.

"Don't worry, sister. We have a place to stay for now."

Only then did Wanniang feel relieved.

Qu Jingyao watched her mother and the others choosing, then turned to her stepmother and said that she would have a surprise for her sister when the house was built.

But she also needs to be mentally prepared. This is a surprise, but it may also bring disaster...

Wanniang pursed her lips slightly, her face full of question marks, her expression curious and solemn.

"Girl, what do you mean..."

"To be honest with you, Sister Wanniang, this is really hard to do without some ideas and support..."

Her words made Wanniang even more suspicious and curious. What on earth was it...

The two chatted for a while and found out that there was a customer coming. Qu Jingyao asked her to go and greet the customer first and she would choose by herself.

"Okay, you choose first. If you like any stepmother, I'll give you a discount."

Wanniang said with a smile.

Qu Jingyao came to her mother's side and looked at the fabrics they had selected. The distressed look on her face made her shake her head helplessly.

"Mom, little aunt, we still have money, so feel free to choose."

Qu Jingyao called the embroiderer nearby to help her take two pieces of silk brocade, two pieces of silk cloth, bedding, and finished clothes and shoes for each person.

Otherwise her mother would have stopped her and she would have bought two more.

But it doesn’t matter. There is still a lot of fabric among the things I looted from the Wu family before, which can be used.

The embroidery frame and embroidery frame I bought before were also burned, and I have to buy new ones.

Silk threads of various colors and embroidery needles are needed.

In the end, when Wanniang paid the bill, it turned out to be more than sixty taels of silver, and Wanniang still rounded off the change.

"Thank you so much for today, sister Wanniang. Mother and I will go back first."

"Okay, girl, and Madam Qu, I won't keep you all here. If there's anything, just let me know."

Qu Jingyao smiled and blinked playfully, knowing that she would have to trouble her a lot in the future.

Wanniang sent the mother and daughter out of the shop, and then Baiguo and Xiu Niang loaded all the things onto the ox cart. The ox cart was so full of things that passers-by were surprised.

Xu Lizheng and his son just happened to rush back.

"Did you buy all this, girl?"

Xu Lizheng was surprised that his mother and daughter bought so many things in such a short time.

Dashan looked at the car full of things, swallowed his saliva, and gave Qu Jingyao a thumbs up.

Several people got on the ox cart and slowly drove towards the market.

The three brothers Qu Qingchen were carrying two large baskets, which were also filled to the brim.

"Brother, here!"

Qu Jingyao stretched out her hand and waved at him.

The three brothers smiled and ran quickly towards the ox cart.

Yue Niang yelled at the two brothers to slow down.

Mrs. Liu asked her son who had returned whether he had bought everything.

"Mom, I've bought everything. How's the discussion going with my sister?"

"Don't worry, it's all settled. The builder of the second courtyard said he'll only charge one hundred taels for the work."

Qu Qingchen was surprised that this second courtyard house only cost a hundred taels. When he and his father helped build houses in the town before, the price was much higher than this.

"Indeed, they collected more than half less. The two masters took a fancy to the drawings drawn by Yao girl."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Qu Jingyao explained that there was no point in keeping the blueprints. All the good designs were stored in her head, so she might as well give them to them. It would be nice to be able to exchange them for some money.
