Therefore, Gu Yundong quickly had some ideas in her mind. She drew quickly and steadily, and it did not take long for her to draw the rough blueprint.
Then, she began to adjust and modify where she was not satisfied.
After the painting was done, Shao Qingyuan happened to return.
Gu Yundong quickly showed him the blueprint. “How is it? Do you feel that there’s anything that needs to be changed?”
“There are even more madams and young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital. Most of them have their own circles or people whom they don’t like. They care more about their status. They have clear ranks and might need too few rooms.”
Gu Yundong pondered for a moment. That was indeed the case.
These madams of aristocratic families valued their privacy. They were still a little different from the Xuanhe Prefecture. There were too many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.
Gu Yundong pointed at the blueprint. “So, the second floor should also be private rooms?”
“Yeah.”
Gu Yundong was about to draw another one when Shao Qingyuan pulled her over. “It’s late. You should draw tomorrow. Let’s eat first.”
“Okay.” Gu Yundong immediately put down the brush and paper in her hand.
The next day, Shao Qingyuan didn’t go out again. After Song Dejiang’s rest days ended, he still had to be on duty at the Imperial Hospital.
Gu Yundong sat in her room and started to paint again on the design of the second floor.
In the afternoon, she went to look for a carpenter with Shao Qingyuan. She had been familiar with Uncle Feng. Now that she had to find an unfamiliar carpenter, she would probably have to explain what she had drawn again.
The carpenter they found was introduced by Nie Cong. His surname was Pang, and it was said that his craftsmanship was very good. He was also reliable and had a fair price.
When Gu Yundong and the other man went over, Carpenter Pang was making a box cage.
There was a lot of demand for carpenters these days, so there were also many people in this industry. Naturally, the competition was equally intense.
According to Nie Cong, Carpenter Pang’s business was mediocre. He took on the work of his neighbors because he worked slowly and had a stubborn temper. One of his two disciples was mute, and the other was a taciturn person.
But it had to be said that there was a reason for slow work to produce fine work.
Carpenter Pang was slow because he was meticulous. If there was anything wrong, he would rather restart the work. He was very responsible when doing things. Even if you urged him to hurry, he would not hand it over casually.
In Gu Yundong’s opinion, this should be considered Carpenter Pang’s obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Therefore, no one came to look for him for urgent work. In addition, there were some competitors who did not like Carpenter Pang and ruined his reputation outside. He and his two disciples were people who worked hard and did not know how to explain.
As time passed, business naturally decreased.
Fortunately, his neighbors knew his personality and craftsmanship. Most of them were relieved to leave it to him.
Carpenter Pang’s current work was also recommended by his old clients.
For example, Gu Yundong.
Nie Cong knew him because when he got married previously, he had seen an exquisite makeup box from Yan Ya. He knew that Aunt Hu had gotten someone to get Carpenter Pang to make it a few years ago. After using it for a few years, the makeup box was still very sturdy and beautiful.
Later on, Nie Cong also asked Carpenter Pang to make a few things. They were all very good. This time, Gu Yundong wanted to renovate the shop, so he directly introduced him to her.
Carpenter Pang was in his thirties and was not good with words. When he saw Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan enter, he quickly stood up and let them sit.
Then, that was it. He didn’t want to pour them a glass of water.
He turned around and continued to make his box.
Gu Yundong had heard that he had gotten married a few years ago. Later, his wife had passed away and he did not even have a child.
