Chapter 18: Ditch Repair

The carriage rolled by, and last night the rain was pouring down, and the mud on the river stalls was slippery, and the wheels pressed over and left deep and shallow ruts in the road. :Music:Text:Novel 3wしw0

The driver stopped shouting, the curtain of the car was lifted, and the two of them came down, Chen Bao picked up his trouser legs and trotted up to meet him: "Hey, Mr. Shen, you can come, let Your Highness wait, and please go to Your Highness to persuade you a little, this day is poisonous, which is the place Your Highness should stay." ”

Before Shen Di answered, a person next to him said: "There is no shady land at the head of the river beach, so naturally it should not be a place for nobles to stay."

"Your Highness's daughter has been waiting here for a long time, isn't Your Excellency still insincere?" Shen Di spent a lot of time to invite people, and at this moment, listening to his disrespectful words, his heart was displeased.

The face of the person who came was still disdainful: "It's not the old decay to support the big, the old decay is living at this age, and the embankment construction project has also seen a lot, but unfortunately the old adults only know how to strengthen and guard, as soon as they heard the old decay say that they want to repair the canal and divert the route, they shook their heads and waved their hands, if this noble man is just to strengthen the embankment, find a river worker with some experience at will, and there is no need to invite the old man to come." ”

This is really not very polite, Chen Bao squinted his eyes and looked at the person who spoke, he was about to know his fate, he was short in brown clothes, wearing a hat on his head, dressed as a river worker, with dark skin, a slightly rickety back, a strong body, a big waist and a round waist, especially a pair of eyes when he spoke.

Shen Di was helpless: "I have said it again and again in my late life, and Mo Na compares those corpse vegetarian people to our Highness. ”

The "old gentleman" in Shen Di's mouth only "hummed" and said no more.

has always been temperamental, and has many real skills, Chen Bao didn't dare to take out the style of the prince's close attendant to confront people, and bowed down and opened his mouth to interrupt the two of them: "Don't let Your Highness wait, the two gentlemen are here, please." ”

The prince is sitting on a big stone by the river stall staring at the river quietly out of his mind, waiting for a few people to approach, get up and hold the old man from worshipping, the old man received this support, and after standing still, he looked at the person in front of him, his face was fair but not feminine, his body was thin but not weak, his appearance was handsome and rare in his life, and he also made a fisherman's dress, only did not bring a hat or bare-chested, still wrapped in long clothes and trousers, only this dress could not cover the noble atmosphere of the whole body, just this glance, the mustard that had just quarreled with Shen Di had disappeared mostly.

The prince also noticed the similar dresses of the two, and said with a smile: "It seems that Gudong has followed suit." ”

The old man replied: "Your Highness is indeed not suitable for this body. ”

Shen Di almost lifted his forehead and sighed when he heard it, and he didn't know how to restrain his temper in front of His Highness. The prince was not annoyed, but found this person upright and funny, and asked him about his name.

"Back to Your Highness, this is the best river worker within a radius of 100 miles, and Yu is quite proficient in water conservancy." Shen Di hurriedly answered, for fear that the old man would say something shocking. ”

"The people who work in the river don't dare to be a gentleman, but I don't know what to do with such repeated requests?" It's a pity that the old man didn't appreciate it, and as soon as Shen Di's words fell, he grabbed the white way.

The prince turned around and pointed to the turbulence of the river: "I don't know about water conservancy, and I don't know how feasible it is to divert water here to solve the trouble of the Yellow River?" ”

Yu Tong was shocked: "Divert water to drain? Didn't the nobles want to strengthen their guards? ”

The prince smiled: "Which one told you that Lone should be strengthened and guarded against?" ”

This time it was Shen Di's turn to "snort", he didn't say it.

The old man's arrogant expression went for most of the time, carefully examined what the prince was pointing at, shook his head and said: "This place is not good, the terrain is too high, there is farmland nearby, it is not easy to destroy the peasants and hurt people, you need to go west thirty miles away to see again." ”

"Thirty miles west, that's?"

Yu Tongying said: "Puzhou." ”

The prince looked west with him, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Lone and Puzhou are really related." If this is entrusted to you, what will be the construction period? What about recruitment? ”

Yu Tong replied after a moment: "There are about 2,000 people, and the construction period is about half a year." ”

"Lonely don't want to be about anything, within five days, it is possible to draw up a detailed charter?"

Pressed the excitement in his heart, Yu Tong hurriedly replied: "The grass people take the order." His Highness's foresight is a blessing to all people. Please bow down to the old man. ”

The prince accepted this worship, helped him up and said, "If it can be done, it will not be too late for Mr. to thank him." ”

After the old man left, Shen Di said, "Your Highness has really thought it through?" ”

The prince did not answer and asked: "Zhong Ming, you are well-read and knowledgeable, you have read all the history books, and you can see the prince who was deposed for repairing canals to benefit the people?" ”

Shen Di, who was called to the table, heard the words: "That being said, but ......" but being in the storage position, he is not seeking merit but seeking no fault.

The prince Shi Ran turned around, at this time, the sun was three poles, and he was in the white and dazzling sunlight without a piece of tile, and the beads of sweat on the prince's forehead rolled down from his cheeks, but his expression was indifferent as if he was in the place without half discomfort.

"Zhong Ming, Lone is already a person who has died once."

Shen Di was silent, and no longer persuaded him, but said: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not agree." ”

"Lone never counted on him. As early as when the fold of repairing the canal was handed over, it was expected that it was a mud cow entering the sea, and sure enough, it was unexpected. ”

Shen Anqi said: "Your Highness expected it a long time ago? So how did it happen? The two students who started the work alone were at a loss. ”

The prince's gaze moved to the turbid river water, tumbling the dead branches and leaves that went down with the stream, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that the two embankment silver allocated by the court a year ago only used three or four tenths?" For the rest, it's time for these cysts to spit out. ”

Xu Lian smelled the smell of lotus root cake on weekdays and didn't have a little appetite, but wanted to vomit a little, at first it was a reaction to early pregnancy, so scared that she was about to break out in a cold sweat, the medical conditions in the world are too poor, giving birth to a child is basically stepping into the ghost gate, she is young, if she is really pregnant, it is basically equivalent to looking for death.

The most frustrating thing is that there is nothing to do in the East Palace, even if the prince has not mentioned the matter of the heir in half a sentence, she doesn't dare to mention it at all.

Fortunately, it came to the red after noon, and every month when the aunt came, there was always a little willfulness, unlike other people's menstrual cramps and other reactions, her only symptom was that she couldn't eat, and she would be able to eat cumin on weekdays.

She didn't think much of a big deal herself, just a few days, she couldn't eat anything, but she was virtual, and she was too weak to support it, and she was very calm when she saw the steamed buns, and she was ready to let the kitchen boil some porridge to deal with the past, but Chun Tao was in a hurry, she was responsible for serving the meal, and the master couldn't eat anything, and then she thought it was a big deal, and then she made a few dim sums that didn't stick to the oil and meat Xu Lian was still not interested, and Chun Tao hurriedly went to the dining room to find Master Gao's idea.

A few days ago, the steamed buns came to the dining room to get a snack and was deducted by him and punished to knead the noodles, knead it, not to say that the noodles she made were a mallet, and the steamed buns were hit so that the aisles were around the dining room.

Master Gao has been in the palace for decades, and he is used to it, and he has long lost the heart of the master Fei Huang Tengda, and he has already figured out this age, and then Fei Huang Tengda is still a cook, and it is easy to lose his life when serving nobles in the palace, so Xu Lian ordered food, and he made two when he was in a good mood, and when his temperament came up, he shook his hand and handed it to the apprentice. Xu Lian also loves to come up with tricks and toss new dishes, Master Gao also has a lot of complaints about this, every time Chun Tao asks for a few words, the people in the dining room and Chun Tao will let him listen to him too much, and don't pass it in front of Xu Lian.

Because Xu Lian is good for him, there is no chili pepper in the world, Master Gao can choke the dogwood out of the spicy taste, Xu Lian belongs to the kind of super spicy and level of vegetables, every time he eats a spicy meal out of several mouthfuls of acne, he swears never to eat again, and after a few days, he ordered it again, since the prince recovered from illness and the two of them ate and slept together, I don't know how many times the prince has been trained, and almost punished the palace people, Xu Lian swore to reform and restrain the appetite of the stomach, but Master Gao's craftsmanship is still on the list of Xu Lian.

When Chun Tao arrived, Master Gao took a purple clay pot and lay on the rattan chair to be cold, the herbal tea was beautiful, Chun Tao's words were probably listened to and replied: "This is easy, Niang Niang loves to eat the most, taking advantage of the absence of His Royal Highness today, secretly let people go to a pot, sweat and have a good appetite." ”

As soon as Chun Tao heard it, she knew that the ears of this old thing had fallen into the oil pot again, and she said angrily: "What kind of pot to eat in the big summer, Niangniang is not happy today, you let Niangniang eat this heavy mouth, there is a good highness to blame, is it the slave or the master you are responsible?" ”

Although Master Gao's temperament is a little weird, how can he be a person who can't distinguish between the important and the heavy, hearing that it is so unpleasant, he got up from the chair with a bone, beckoned to fire, and said to Chun Tao: "Okay, you can take care of this matter, and someone will send it over later, and the lady is satisfied." ”

Don't have an appetite for the good ones?

Xu Lian looked at the half-empty plates on the table and said in her heart, saying that she couldn't eat it, but her body was too honest.

The steamed bun brought people in to clean up the table, Xu Lian was helped to the side by Chun Tao to stand and eat, and suddenly remembered Zhang's and asked, "How is Zhang's injury?" ”

"The slave has already sent the medicine in person, and it is not very strict, but it hurts the muscles and bones for a hundred days, and you have to keep it." Chun Tao hid the day when Zhang saw her and wanted to stuff silver into her hand and beg her to help say good things in front of her mother.

I think she is the one who loves to drill camps, you need to know how can any silver be touched?

The prince ignored it, Xu Lian thought that all she could do was to send some medicine over, if the Zhang family had any other expectations, it would be better to rest. After asking, he felt that there was nothing to say, so he learned the prince's words and said: "Then let her take care of it, food, clothing and medicine are indispensable for her." ”

Chun Tao said yes, at this time, Liu Shen asked to see him outside the door, Xu Lian agreed, Liu Shen came in and said a thousand words: "Niangniang Jin'an, the slave is here to ask Niangniang, do you need to choose a few people from the west corner of the palace?" ”

Xu Lian was surprised at first, who lives in the West Corner Courtyard and wants to be selected? Seeing Chun Tao's face, he immediately reacted.

The moon is unlucky, she is popular, naturally she can't serve the prince, tonight she has to take her should live and get out, this huge palace, there is always someone who can serve, but she has to arrange
