Hou Kun

Chapter 126 Torrential Rain
When the nine arrived, the wind blew up.The surface of Kunming Lake was swayed by the blowing waves, waves slapping the shore of the lake.Not far to the east, the dragon flags on the city gate of Suyunyan were buzzing, and the momentum was extraordinary.

The snarls of the chief steward Rhubarb at the bow reached his ears verbatim.An eunuch beside him said, "Boss Huang is very powerful. Then, do you want to invite him here?"

Najiu is the deputy chief. Although the two have the same rank, the deputy chief also has the title of leading the eunuch.

Najiu waved his hand, "He is from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so we must show some face. Let him be busy first, let's go to Su Yunyan to watch."

Staring at Manager Rhubarb on the archery tower of Suyunyan Chengguan, you can relax and watch his movements clearly.The wind is like a gust of wind, I'm afraid it will rain soon.

Manager Rhubarb didn't know that he was being stared at, he sat on the chair and waited.The people who brought them went to the construction office to pick up the materials, and it took one or two hours to come and go.The boatman who brought in the repairs began to remove the boards at his urging.The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the craftsmen rushed to the bow of the boat with the lake water, and the craftsmen could hardly keep their eyes open.

An older craftsman was encouraged to come over, and he chatted up with a smile, "Sir, the weather is not good today, I'm afraid it will rain heavily later. This,,, it takes a lot of effort to change the ship's plank, and then I can't wait to replace it." Or in the wind and rain, I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee that this job can be done well. You see, the joints of this board must be firmly connected, and the tenon and groove must not be the same. Wait for it. When the weather is clear, drive it to the dock to dry, you can’t use the sun, you can’t expose it to the sun,,,,, a few words, do you think you can wait for the weather to clear before doing it?”

After listening to his words, Manager Rhubarb smiled sullenly and said, "Hey, my lord, where did you come from, you god! Look at what you said, I understand it, what do you dare to do?" If you don’t do anything, you have to listen to God on weekdays? You are the Lord, dare to stab me like this, how can I go back to the Queen Mother? Otherwise, you just took over the Queen Mother’s property, and I don’t have to worry about it.”

He deliberately messes around and uses a big hat to oppress people. Who dares to be the Queen Mother's house!Isn't this a run on people?

The craftsman was obviously in charge, and he was so ashamed by a few words that he hurried back, only to hear Manager Rhubarb gnash his teeth and say bitterly, "If you don't replace the ship's planks today, you don't even want to eat! Wait!" Take the board!"

The craftsmen saw that he was not willing to accommodate, let alone in the name of the empress dowager, so they didn't dare to say more.Although I know that the kung fu designation for doing this is all in vain, wait for the rain to soak, and then expose it to the sun for a few days, the seam designation will not match.At that time, it will have to be dismantled again, and it will take a lot of trouble, and they will still be scolded.

The decks here are almost demolished, the eunuch who picked up the materials has not come back, and the wind and rain have already arrived.

Tens of thousands of rain arrows shot at the lake, the rain was big and urgent, and a heavy rain poured down.The fierce rain stirred up the lake water like thousands of wild horses, and the white ones ran around everywhere. The wind and rain were violent, and the craftsmen rushed into the sheds to shelter from the rain.

After closing the city gate, Na Jiufu was enjoying the rain scene at the highest point of the archery tower. He saw a few figures running wildly with their heads in their arms. They had already crossed half of the bridge. He stood up and clapped his hands, "Let's go, it's time to meet our Manager Rhubarb."

The eunuch on the side didn't say much, and took out the coir raincoat and cap that he had prepared.Eunuchs are also knowledgeable in serving people. When they felt something was wrong when they first went out, they put on a full set of rainproof outfits.

Manager Rhubarb stared blankly at the majestic lake, how could he be so unlucky, he thought that he only had such a little work, and he came here early to finish his errands, and then he could rush back to the palace.Now that the rain is like this, when it subsides, the work will have to be done later in the afternoon.It is also because he thinks things are simple, but his purpose is even simpler. No matter how heavy the rain is today, he only needs to replace the board.

In the heavy rain, several figures emerged from the rain and mist.

"Master, I can't find it anywhere. Who knows you're busy here." Na Jiu smiled, but it was just a skinny smile, and he didn't look very happy.

Manager Rhubarb was thinking about why those damned people hadn't arrived yet, when a person he least wanted to see appeared.

He is an old Jianghu, with a quick smile, sincere and caring, "Oh, then, why did you get blown here by this gust of wind? It's raining and windy, and you're also on business for Long Live Lord? Come in quickly." Dodge, look at your scatter, it's all soaked." Said while frantically taking off the coir raincoat for Najiu.

The last time he hit the board, it was Na Jiu who interceded for him, otherwise he would have been lying in a mass grave when the hundred boards came down.

Later, when he got better, he also gave Na Jiu a big gift, calling him a savior.It is said that in this palace, the big guys have to take care of each other, everyone has time to walk the narrow road.

But when I came back, I felt uncomfortable. Seeing Na Jiuzhi was awkward.After all, his most shameful appearance fell into his eyes.

Some people are narrow-minded. They used to be desperate to make a living. Why not do it? They have done things like calling a child grandpa because of stuttering.But when things turned around later on, and when he ascended to a high position, he began to dislike those brothers who had gone through hardships together.

Why, just because I was so miserable when I was down, it all fell into the eyes of others.I rub my heart and lungs to forget things, but others remember them vividly.A big lump formed in his heart, and he wanted to kill that person before he could finish it.It seems that all the people who have seen his downfall are dead, and he can smoothly bury that period of history.

That's exactly what Najiu is in his heart.Therefore, even though Na Jiu interceded to save his life, he was grateful on the surface, but he didn't really appreciate it in his heart.The person he least wanted to see, the person he would walk around in the palace, now stood here at this juncture.

Najiu took off the coir raincoat and handed it to his subordinates at the side. He shook the clothes, and his legs were indeed soaked.Sitting down, he unceremoniously took the hot tea handed by Manager Rhubarb, and said leisurely, "Is Manager Rhubarb in good health? I looked a little uncomfortable yesterday."

This is concern, but it's disgusting to Mr. Huang's ears.

But I still want to be grateful, "It's much better, it's just a little inconvenient, and I can't delay being on the master's errand. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, my lord. It was only because of your mercy at that time that I could get better so quickly, right?" He didn't kill him on that day, otherwise, twenty boards would have disabled him, and he would not be able to stay in the palace to serve after he was kicked out.

A gust of wind blew by, sending a cloud of water vapor, foggy.The wind was so loud that he had to growl and speak, which sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.

Na Jiu laughed and didn't care about it.

Manager Rhubarb's background has long been known clearly. This person is not very good-natured. He likes to take power and save face. He is vain and full of morality. He is the person he hates the most.That time, the board hit the butt of the manager, and the face of the manager collapsed.So Manager Rhubarb doesn't want to see himself.
