Chapter 256 Villa Construction
Chapter 256 Villa Construction
The group passed through this mountain road and soon arrived at the villa under construction. However, the road did not lead to the main gate of the villa, but to the tallest building in the villa.
Master Zheng was building here with a group of craftsmen at the time. After someone reported that people were coming from the other side of the valley, Master Zheng came to meet them.
"Madam Su." Master Zheng clasped his fists and bowed to Su Tang.
Since there are many people working in the villa, it is not convenient to publicize Su Tang's identity as a princess for the time being to avoid causing confusion.
"Well, that road is very well built."
"That road will be the passage between the villa and the valley. Visitors from outside will take the road down the mountain. The attic here was originally agreed upon with you and is only for the main family to live in."
Su Tang had already agreed on the planning of the villa with Master Zheng long before. The villa is divided into three floors.
The bottom floor is where the servants of the villa live and where distinguished guests are received. It is also used to park carriages and sedan chairs.
Going further up, the middle floor is used to accommodate visitors to the villa. This area is the largest and has independent courtyards for separate living.
There are only five independent courtyards, and they are separated by natural forests. Even if people in one courtyard make a big noise, it will not disturb the rest of people in other courtyards. It can be said that a lot of thought has been put into this.
This was inspired by Su Tang's study of the high-end villas where modern wealthy businessmen live.
In this way, these courtyards have the tranquility of the mountains and forests, and the courtyard itself is an independent small space with everything needed, forming a small world of its own.
I believe that those who come here can also experience a novel sense of living.
As for the highest level of the forest, there are several small courtyards where Su Tang's family and Professor Tian are temporarily staying.
These courtyards are not as big as the one in the middle, but they are all separated from each other so as not to disturb each other.
There is also a pharmacy on top. The original intention of building this valley and villa was that Su Tang wanted to create a place that relies on curing diseases and saving lives, as well as a place for people to recuperate.
"Now, the construction of the mountain top is almost complete, and only some finishing touches are left."
Master Zheng accompanied Su Tang to look at the top few houses. The shapes of the houses and courtyards in these houses were all different, which showed that Master Zheng and his team had indeed put a lot of thought into it.
"Is there enough money?" Su Tang had already paid in full for the materials and workers' wages, which was why the construction of the villa was so fast.
However, the villa itself was extremely expensive, and Su Tang was also afraid that Master Zheng would spend more than the money he had left.
At the beginning of construction, Su Tang told Master Zheng that the villa must use good materials and have good workmanship. As for the money, she would pay enough and would never delay the workers' wages.
"Enough, enough, enough. Mr. Zhao just gave me some money a few days ago. If there is anything missing, I will definitely inform you in advance." As he said this, Master Zheng patted his waist, which should be where he put the silver bills.
Su Tang smiled and said, "It's good enough. Don't skimp on materials and labor. I want to leave this villa to future generations a hundred years later."
"Even if I had eight hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to cut corners. Don't worry, I've been doing house repair work all my life, and I'm counting on this job to brag to my children and grandchildren in the future."
The people in the yard were amused by Master Zheng's words. While everyone was happy, they also praised Master Zheng and his craftsmanship.
“In the autumn mornings, fog will rise from this layer, and the scenery will be breathtaking.” Zhao Youtian said, pointing to a forest below.
“Has the water problem been solved?”
"There is a natural spring over there. I had it enlarged and built a few reservoirs underneath. There is no shortage of water in this villa even in the dry season." Master Zheng replied.
"Sure enough, Master Zheng has thought it through very carefully." Su Tang praised.
"We plan to build the house in the middle last. Now we have built a circle of walls outside the villa, and planted castor beans outside the wall. It can prevent theft and is also a medicinal herb. It kills two birds with one stone." Master Zheng continued to introduce.
"Well, we can grow a circle of poisonous plants on the inside of the wall. Whoever insists on coming in will be poisoned," Tian Ningxue suggested.
"This is not good."
"They have climbed over the wall, so what's wrong with that? Who knows if they came in to steal things or to kill people and rob goods?"
"Hehehe...you can plant some plants that can paralyze people." Su Tang smiled and patted Tian Ningxue's shoulder.
"Su Tang is kind-hearted. Ningxue, you should have fewer such thoughts in the future..." Professor Tian taught.
"Sometimes not killing someone outright is a form of mercy. Wouldn't it be better to let some people live a life worse than death?"
Su Tang's words stopped Professor Tian's unfinished sermon, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"Mr. Tian, let's not talk about this topic for now. I will explain the reason to you later."
"Okay." Professor Tian nodded in agreement.
Everyone accompanied Su Tang for a tour in the valley. Finally, Su Tang left with everyone and went down the mountain alone.
Zhao Youtian and the others did not ask Su Tang what she was going to do, but Su Tang was dressed simply today, not the silk and satin she usually wore. Everyone just thought that Su Tang was going to the valley today and was dressed like that for convenience.
Su Tang walked all the way down the mountain, and after a while she was already far away from the villa under construction.
She released Thirteen from the space.
"Master." After Thirteen came out, he subconsciously looked around, then clasped his fists and bowed.
"Well, I'll ask you to do something later." Su Tang said with a smile on her face.
"Yes." Thirteen agreed.
Half an hour later.
Thirteen left and returned again.
Su Tang, who was waiting in the mountains, saw Shisan nodded to her and knew that the thing she had just asked Shisan to do was done.
"I'll take you back first." Su Tang raised her hand, wanting to send Thirteen back to the space.
"Master, Thirteen hasn't come out for a long time. Can he stay with you for a while longer?" Thirteen spoke out to stop him.
As soon as Thirteen came out, he found that Qi Lingheng was not with Su Tang, and she didn't bring anyone else with her.
Although this is Dahe Village, when his master asked him to do something just now, he found that there were quite a few outsiders in the village.
How could he feel at ease letting Su Tang walk outside alone when it was so dangerous?
Su Tang didn't know what Shisan meant, she just thought he was bored in the space and wanted to go outside for some fresh air, so she nodded in agreement. "If you want to leave to do something, just tell me where you're going."
"Yes." Thirteen agreed, but he didn't say that he didn't want to leave.
