After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 131 Designer Xuanji Niangzi

However, she looked very elegant and graceful, and quite refreshing.

She was about forty years old, with a lithe figure, and from behind she looked like a woman in her twenties. She came up to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Are you Su Xiaoxiao?"

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback and wanted to see where Qian Musheng's martial uncle was by looking behind the woman.
When the sedan chair curtain was lifted, only one woman got out. Su Xiaoxiao quickly nodded and looked at Qian Musheng.

Qian Musheng chuckled, "You're a little surprised, aren't you? She is indeed my martial aunt."

If Qian Musheng hadn't introduced her, Su Xiaoxiao would have thought he had invited his teacher's wife.

"She is my martial aunt, the daughter of my grandmaster, and also my disciple. People in the martial arts world call her Lady Xuanji."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized that it was true. She was surprised that Qian Musheng's martial aunt was a woman. Naturally, she was a little surprised, but she reacted quickly and said, "Hello, Lady Xuanji. I am Su Xiaoxiao. It is an honor to have you here today."

Lady Xuanji seemed very easy to talk to. She immediately smiled and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Qian Musheng kept begging me to agree to build this house for you. I thought I'd come and see who is so important to our Qian Musheng?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Musheng quickly changed the subject, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

"Uncle-Master, I just said he's an important friend of mine, please don't make wild guesses."

Lady Xuanji remained smiling and silent, scrutinizing Su Xiaoxiao from head to toe before saying, "Indeed, she's very beautiful. No wonder my Qian Musheng..."

"Uncle-Master, here are the blueprints, please take a look."

Qian Musheng quickly brought out the blueprints designed by Tang Xiaoman to Lady Xuanji.

"Haven't we already seen them all?"

Lady Xuanji held the blueprint and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Miss Su, this young man seems very nervous. I knew you were exceptionally important to him. Yesterday, he came to my place and asked me to put everything aside and come to design your house. He even carefully handed me this blueprint. When I saw it, I was quite surprised. I've built countless houses in my life, but this is the first time I've ever seen such a strange blueprint."

As soon as Lady Xuanji mentioned building a house, she immediately became very interested, which conveniently covered up the rather awkward topic from before.

"Miss Su, please tell me quickly what kind of house you want to build, and where you plan to build it?"

Su Xiaoxiao led them to a clearing in front of the bamboo grove behind the house. Su Xiaoxiao pointed and said, "This is the place. I plan to build a new house here."

Didn't Su Xiaoxiao previously plan to move to the town? Why is she now building a new house for herself in the countryside?
In fact, Su Xiaoxiao had thought about this for a long time. She realized that the jam workshop would not be able to do without her for a while, so the possibility of her moving to the town was not very high.

Moreover, Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Da Bao and Xiao Bao were already adapting quite well to studying at Liu Zi'an's private school in the village.

At this point, transferring Da Bao and Xiao Bao to the town would not actually help their studies at all.

The main reason was that Su Xiaoxiao knew that if Da Bao and Xiao Bao went to town to study, they probably wouldn't be able to keep up.

Moreover, they are still in the early stages of their education, and having the right teacher is especially important at this time. Now, Su Xiaoxiao has a bigger goal: she has decided to buy a house in Beijing in the future and leave this town. When she earns enough money in the future, she plans to develop her career in Beijing.

But before that, she couldn't treat herself too badly. Su Xiaoxiao felt that the house still needed to be built well so that she could live more comfortably.

Moreover, she knew that Liu Qiaomei and her father had been living in the side room, which was unfair to them. If more people came to visit in the future, they wouldn't even have a place to stay.

"Your idea is quite good. Once the house is built, you can see the spring scenery in the yard as soon as you open the door. That would be a wonderful thing."

Su Xiaoxiao blushed at Xuanji's praise, "Draw out the detailed design drawings for me as soon as possible. I'll give you some ideas to see if it's feasible."

Su Xiaoxiao was overjoyed to hear this. She was happy because Lady Xuanji had also mentioned the design drawings. Didn't this mean that she and Lady Xuanji were kindred spirits?
Since someone said they understood her so well, Su Xiaoxiao was naturally very happy.

Lady Xuanji spent half the day here helping to look at the pictures, and then went back to town to stay that night, as Su Xiaoxiao's house really couldn't find a place for her to stay.

Su Xiaoxiao also discovered that Lady Xuanji was a person who paid great attention to the quality of life, which perfectly matched the style of the house that Su Xiaoxiao requested to be built.

In her delight, Su Xiaoxiao prepared roasted lamb racks, roasted vegetables, and other barbecued items to entertain Lady Xuanji at noon.

Qian Musheng was naturally very happy. He thought to himself that he was really lucky to be able to eat such delicious barbecue so soon.

Lady Xuanji had never tasted such delicious roasted lamb rack before, and she could tell that it seemed to have been seasoned with five-spice powder.

Su Xiaoxiao said that she and Xuanji Niangzi have similar tastes, as they are both very particular about food and have their own unique preferences.

While eating, Su Xiaoxiao shared some of her thoughts about the house with Lady Xuanji, and many of her ideas surprisingly coincided with those of Su Xiaoxiao.

Following Su Xiaoxiao's instructions, Lady Xuanji began drawing blueprints, followed by a series of revisions. When the finished blueprints were completed, they completely astonished Su Xiaoxiao.

This was even more beautiful than Su Xiaoxiao had imagined, truly a lifetime spent dealing with buildings and houses.

Lady Xuanji was actually in her fifties, almost sixty, yet she was so intelligent that she could quickly understand Su Xiaoxiao's meaning, unlike when Su Xiaoxiao was telling her the truth and she was completely clueless. This was just Su Xiaoxiao's imagination.

After the two communicated and reached a consensus, Su Xiaoxiao began to prepare the timber and building materials needed to build the house, as requested by Lady Xuanji.

Indeed, this house construction requires a large amount of timber, and the timber needed for the house construction requires a lot of high-grade timber, which cannot be found in a day or two.

Upon hearing this, Lady Xuanji immediately sent someone to fetch wood from outside. Lady Xuanji absolutely refused to allow the use of inferior wood in the construction of her house, and said that her requirements were very high.

From the very first day of construction, a large group of people began transporting timber from outside into Baihua Village, which caused quite a stir in the village.
