Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 43 Is It Like Xiaoli?

Mrs. Wu went back to her room angrily, and got angry at Zhao Chengde, who was enjoying the rich court food.

After Zhao Chengde listened, he finally realized that his lawless daughter ran away with her third cousin.

He couldn't care about his foot injury, so he struggled to get down on the bed: "This stinky girl, what are you doing! No clothes, no clothes, let Chang Le come in!"

But Wu Shi covered his mouth: "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Chengde looked at his wife in disbelief.

Wu said in a low voice: "Are you yelling so loudly that you want people from the third room to come to us to settle accounts?"

That's right.

Zhao Chengde blinked quickly, indicating that he would not yell any more.

Wu let go, but sat down in front of the dressing box and began to dress up: "I have invited my three siblings to Baoxiang Temple to burn incense. Let Changle serve you today."

Zhao Chengde was puzzled: "The third sibling is still in the mood to burn incense?"

Wu stared at him: "The older you get, the more confused you become. If I don't go out with the third sibling at this time, then others will have to suspect Yi'er?"

Zhao Chengde was a little sad, why did his wife think he was old?
Mrs. Wu went out in a hurry, and before leaving, she told Zhao Chengde: "If Yi'er comes back first, you should arrest her first!"

Zhao Chengde agreed with a sad face.

Just as Mrs. Wu went out, Changle came in.

Zhao Chengde doesn't really want to see Changle.He just wants his little wife.

But Chang Le said: "Second Master, Mr. Song, who sent you back that day, is now negotiating with Mr. Chen and the others, saying that the gate can be rebuilt before nightfall."

Although Doctor Song swore the day before yesterday that he would find out the truth about the collapse of the door of Kanglefang within two days, Zhao Chengde didn't believe it.

Why did the door of Kanglefang collapse, as long as it was a normal person, it would not matter.

Isn't it caused by the Ministry of Industry cutting corners and poor workmanship!

The Ministry of Industry has done a lot of things like this over the years.For example, the river breach case five years ago... But even Zhao Chenghuan, a young man, was involved in it, suffered the anger of the Holy Majesty, and was demoted from office.

Mr. Chen is an old man who retired from the household department. He must have received instructions from the household department to lead people to guard the ruins of the square gate so that the people from the Ministry of Industry cannot destroy the evidence.

In fact, if the people from the Ministry of Industry can kill such a person, what evidence are they afraid of?

But I didn't expect that the young Song Langzhong was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and wanted to rebuild the Fangmen.

Is this his own meaning, or the meaning of the Ministry of Industry?Rebuilding the Fangmen can appease the people in Kanglefang.But will the people in the household department agree?

Zhao Chengde still had a good impression of Song Jingxing in his heart.When dealing with the collapsed houses in Kanghuifang, Song Jingxing was very familiar with the structure of the houses. If the Ministry of Industry has a clean and honest atmosphere, such Song Jingxing will definitely be reused.But today's Ministry of Industry...

Zhao Chengde said: "Let Steward Hu send a sedan chair!"

The Zhao family was not far from the gate of Defang, Zhao Chengde rode in a sedan chair, Changle carried a chair, and soon came to the gate of the workshop.

At this moment, Lin Wei also got off the horse not far away and strode towards Song Jingxing.

Song Jingxing was tall, standing upright under the thin spring light, with handsome features.

Perhaps he had communicated with Chen Lao, the guard, before, and Chen Lao was sitting by the wall and drinking tea.Zhao Chengde saluted Lin Wei from a distance, and Lin Wei waved to him, signaling that he didn't need to go there.

Mr. Chen beckoned to Zhao Chengde, and Zhao Chengde obediently asked his servants to carry him over.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chen Lao said: "Compared to other people in the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Song is pretty good."

Mr. Chen was very disdainful of the people from the Ministry of Industry before, and Song Jingxing... was really good to get such an evaluation from him.Zhao Chengde's eyes fell on Song Jingxing.

I saw him standing side by side with Lin Wei, his expression as usual, without any flinching.

With him like this, it really makes people unable to see that he is just a small official of the sixth rank, or a small official who has just been in office for a month.Su Bo's vision is really good.

Zhao Chengde heard that Song Jingxing was only in his early twenties.

And his son Zhao Xiuyuan, who is only three years younger than Song Jingxing, has accomplished nothing, if not for his daughter's control, he would have been walking birds and fighting crickets every day, just like those dudes.

The more Zhao Chengde compared, the more angry he became.Obviously he and his beloved wife are not stupid in their brains, and they didn't spoil their son too much when they were young, but how can they raise their son and become a good-for-nothing?

Look at Song Jingxing, who was born as a craftsman from a poor family, and became an official with his own skills, so he did well!
Zhao Chengde began to think, how about throwing Zhao Xiuyuan to a poor place and only giving him a scoop of grain every day, starving him half to death, maybe he would work hard because of it.

Song Jingxing didn't save himself from becoming the source of Zhao Chengde's dislike of his son.

He was convincing Lin Wei at this time: "Xiaguan has the confidence to rebuild the Fangmen before nightfall."

Lin Wei stared at him: "Mr. Song, the gate can be rebuilt, but the truth of the collapse cannot be covered up. If the Ministry of Industry wants to use the reconstruction of the gate to cover up the fact that it used to cut corners and poor workmanship, Lin will not Allowed."

Song Jingxing smiled slightly: "Master Lin, please rest assured, after the lower officials rebuild the gate, they will definitely tell Minister Lin the truth about the collapse of the gate, and will never hide it."

Lin Wei looked at him.

The young man stood right in front of him, without a trace of humility, his face was full of confidence.

Lin Wei admired Song Jingxing very much.

This Song Jingxing is very similar to him when he was young.

Lin Wei's majestic expression did not change: "If Song Langzhong is unable to fulfill his promise at that time, don't blame me and go up to the sage, and handle this matter fairly." He was reminding Song Jingxing that this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place. If he withdraws at this time, It won't hurt him.

Song Jingxing still smiled slightly: "Okay."

Rebuilding the Fangmen is the top priority of Kanglefang.The old and young men who came after hearing the news hid far away under the wall, watching the strong craftsmen standing in front of Song Jingxing.

A young man who has been in poor health since he was a child was envious: "Looking at this group of craftsmen, the morale is really high."

Another young scholar who thought that "everything is low-quality, only reading is high" was very disdainful: "It's just a bunch of stinky craftsmen, which is very interesting. Besides, the man who built the workshop door didn't even have a sketch. Another illiterate. Isn't this a joke with our lives?"

Even so, his eyes never moved away from Song Jingxing's body.

But I saw Song Jingxing standing there, talking carefully with the craftsmen.After a while, the craftsmen nodded in unison and split up.

He had to admit that these people who were engaged in lowly industries actually had some skills.

At the beginning of the construction of the gate, the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry were unorganized, and it took a full three months to build the gate.Now Langzhong Song has said that he will build the Fangmen within half a day, isn't he waiting to slap himself in the face?

Everyone was waiting to see the joke.

However, the craftsmen erected the huge frame in an orderly and quick manner. Among them was a young craftsman with incomparable strength, who moved the seemingly heavy materials with ease.

Chen Laozheng was watching with great interest, when suddenly someone poked him and whispered: "Do you think that person looks like Xiao Li?"
