Jin Qianqian took out the courtyard sketch she had "hastily drawn" just after their meal. "Master Ding, this is the kind of house we want to build. Do you think it can be done?"
Ding Er looked over the entire drawing, then glanced up at Jin Qianqian in surprise. "This drawing is quite marvelous. All the details are so clear. It can certainly be built, but aren't these surrounding walls a bit wasteful?"
'After all, this house is being built in a village. Is it really a good idea to build the walls as high as the house itself?'
"This way, the walls will require a considerable amount of materials. It will cost a lot more in silver taels."
Ancient Wen Heng said, "I generally prefer peace and quiet. Building the walls a bit higher will not only provide more security but also block out some noise.
It's just that, as you know, we've just arrived and are unfamiliar with the area. We'll likely have to rely on you for many of the materials."
