In the twilight of spring, the entire Chang'an City is enveloped by heat.

Because most of the roads in Chang'an are paved with bluestone, as soon as the sun shines down, the stone slabs are hot and hot, and shoes with thin soles feel hot on the road.

The weeping willows on the roadside also hung their heads and pulled the branches, showing listlessness.

The sky was blue, almost white, and a few white clouds drifted by, avoiding the hot sun, not daring to block it.

In the midst of this heat, a carriage entered Chang'an City.

This car entered through the south gate, and after entering the road, I saw a large open space when I walked for a short time, and there were digging earth and mountains on it, and there were many roads paved, and I didn't know what to do.

After walking a little further, I saw the neat streets, the streets seemed to be elevated, there were drainage channels on both sides of the road, and the channels were covered with bluestone slabs, although they looked the same as the road surface, but after a short time, a hole was left so that pedestrians could be told that this was a drainage channel, so that people would not step on it.

Behind the drains are neatly built small unfinished houses.

There are many people crowded around, and some go in to see, and when they don't see much, they come out with a happy face.

There are also many people who rushed over and quarreled with the people in official clothes, and the faces of the people who were red and the ears were red, and the people in the official clothes looked stubborn, and finally the people began to accompany them.

Feng Da, who was driving the car, didn't understand what was going on, so he turned around and said to the eldest son who was sitting in the car guarding the objects: "Xiao Jia, why did you say that this Chang'an City has changed so much, when we came here last winter, there were many broken sheds and thatched houses in Nancheng, how can it be ...... now?" It looks so beautiful and neat. ”

Feng Xiaojia didn't understand either, and smiled at his father: "Who knows, Chang'an is the capital, and nothing is uncommon, so let's send something over and ask the people of the Qi family about it." ”

Feng Da nodded: "Then let's go quickly." ”

The two of them laughed while catching the car, and went to Suzaku Street from Nancheng, and then arrived at Ping'an Fang after a short time, and after entering, they were familiar with the Qi family.

Feng Xiaojia jumped out of the car and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a porter poked his head out, obviously, this porter recognized Feng Da and his son. When I saw them, I was happy: "Drink, you are here, come in quickly, and I will report to the master." ”

The concierge said that the porter invited Feng and his son into the small ear room on the side to sit down and drink tea and rest. He trotted to the backyard to report the news.

After a while, the steward came over to question, took the gift list handed over by Feng Da, and asked someone to settle Feng Da and his son.

When the goods on the car were unloaded, the steward came to take Feng Da to the upper room.

As soon as Feng Da entered the upper room, he felt a burst of coolness, and the heat on his body dissipated a lot, he didn't dare to raise his head, and saluted respectfully: "The little one has seen the old lady, the wife." ”

But it turned out that Qi Laoniu and Qi Jing were not at home. Qi Gu was worried about the eldest girl Jin Zhi who stayed in Qijiazhuang, so he hurriedly summoned Feng Da to come over for questioning.

Yun Yao sat beside Qi Gu's side, looked at Qi Gu's face full of worry, and hurriedly said to Feng Dadao: "Steward Feng is tired all the way. ”

"Don't dare." Feng Da smiled: "Uncle Lao's wife is worried, I'm not tired, this work is not tiring, and it's good to spend flowers and see the scenery all the way." ”

Yun Yao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "You sit down and talk back." ”

Immediately, a girl moved a stool to Feng Da, Feng Da thanked him and sat down, Yun Yao took the gift list in the girl's hand and looked at it, but Qi Gu was asking Feng Dahua: "Did your old lady explain anything when you came?" ”

Feng Da smiled: "Confessed." After explaining, our wife said that everything in the family was good, told the old lady not to worry, and said that the second aunt and grandmother in the family were married. By the way, there is another big happy event, our wife gave birth to a big fat boy. ”

It's okay for other things, as soon as he heard that Qi Jinzhi gave birth to a fat boy, Qi Gu happily recited the Buddha: "This is really a great joy, okay." Good. ”

Then Qi Gu asked again: "How much was your little young master born?" How's your wife's body? Which one did your second aunt and grandmother order? ”

Many questions were asked one after another, Feng Da didn't know what to do, and thought for a long time before saying: "Our little young master was born eight catties and eight taels, such a big man, he looks exactly as white and clean as the old man, and his wife has a good body and bones, what to eat and what is fragrant, and now he is asking the long-term worker to remove the grass in the field, and the old lady of the second aunt's wife should also know that it is the young master of the Hong family who opened the silk and satin village in the town." ”

Qi Gu listened carefully, and when he heard the young master of the Hong family, he nodded and smiled: "It turned out to be his family, his family is really good, the family is rich, the old couple of the Hong family are both kind people, his kid looks very good, and his character is good, he is indeed a good family." ”

Feng Da also grinned and said: "But isn't it, thanks to our wife, that day the little master of the Hong family and his friends went to the mountains to play, but he got lost, and turned to the deep mountains for a while to meet the wolf, thanks to our wife who saved the little master Hong, the old lady of the Hong family then brought gifts to the house to thank him, and the little master just happened to see our second aunt and wife, this look, it is ...... to the eye."

Qi Gu and Yun Yao were quite happy for Zhou Xiuying when they heard this, and they were also happy for Qi Jinzhi.

Why, the Zhou family is nothing else, Zhou Hongwen is a personality Zhou Zheng and has a sense of responsibility, now that Jin Zhi gave birth to all the boys, he will definitely not be wrong with Jin Zhi in the future, the eldest sister Zhou Shuying has a cowardly temperament, plus those things that happened in the early years, she has no right to speak at home, only Zhou Xiuying's temperament is cool and sharp, and she loves to pick thorns, and she can toss things at home at any time.

Now that Zhou Xiuying has decided to have a family, she is not young, she will definitely not be married for long, she marries out, the Zhou family has finally stopped, and the golden branch will definitely be better day by day in the future.

Yun Yao was happy to see Qi Gu's patronage, so she simply went to Qi Gu's joy, she asked Feng Da a lot of things by herself, and Feng Dadu answered honestly.

After asking, Yun Yao asked someone to take Feng Da down to rest and eat, and she went to the treasury to rummage through the good objects with Qi Gu's family, planning to ask Feng Da to take it back to make a gift for his nephew, who had just been born.

Yun Yao and Qi Gu drilled in the warehouse for more than two hours and sorted out a number of objects.

As for how they packed the boxes and how to explain to Feng Dazi, he only said that now that the construction of Nancheng has begun, Qi Jing found many old craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry who have accumulated many years of experience, as well as many young craftsmen who are smart and clever and very good at work, and asked them to brainstorm and make a lot of equipment.

The drawings of this instrument were drawn by Qi Jing and Qi Bao Box.

Speaking of which, both of them are extremely intelligent characters. There is also Yun Yao, a mechanical master at home, not to mention anything else, just a little bit of learning from Yun Yao, which is enough for them to be proud of the world in this era.

The drawings of the equipment drawn by these two men are advanced. But many things compared to this era are not much advanced, but they are just used by craftsmen to improve efficiency, save time and effort.

In order to save land, the houses that Qi Jing built for the original residents in Nancheng were all small buildings, most of which were two-story buildings. In order to make it convenient for the people to live, he personally consulted Yun Yao again, and asked someone to lay the water and sewer pipelines before building the foundation.

In addition, two tall water towers were also built, and the residents of Nancheng were asked to take turns to send people to use water trucks to load water on the towers, so that everyone could use water conveniently.

After these constructions were completed, the foundation was laid to build the house, and the houses were built small, but the usable area was not small.

It turned out that the poor people in Nancheng were all in tears when they saw it, and many of them knelt down to give Qi Jing a snort, and even the people from other places were envious when they came to see it. They are clamoring to move in and move in, and they are also going to exchange their houses for houses in the south city.

It's just that most places in the southern city have to be used to build gardens, and there is less land that can be used to live in the vacant land, and some of it will be given to the residents around the palace.

Emperor Chengping has also been paying attention to the progress of Nancheng, seeing that Qi Jing has done this matter well, and he still appreciates Qi Jing's talent in his private heart.

It's just that every time I think about Qi Jing's face. Emperor Chengping couldn't stand it, he didn't want to reward Qi Jing for letting him enter the Hanlin Dynasty in the future, and he felt that Qi Jing didn't have any reward for working for him so hard, and it seemed a little unkind.

On this day, the horse Qi Zhen entered the palace. Talking about the matter of the Twelve Princes Han Xin, he mentioned that the Twelve Princes' Mansion is much better than the original, many dilapidated houses have been repaired, and he helped the Twelve Princes rebuild the back garden, and in addition, he asked the Twelve Princes for some things that they deserved from the Internal Affairs Office.

Emperor Chengping listened to Qi Zhen's words. There was some shock in his heart, but he had always been a submissive and selfish person, and he was only slightly touched.

Seeing Qi Zhen gushing about the Twelve Princes, Emperor Chengping smiled and said: "Well, I also know what you are here for, just to help the old twelve ask for some money to open the mansion, so let's allocate 100,000 taels from my private treasury to send it to the old twelve, I think there are few people in his mansion, it is enough for him." ”

Qi Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately thanked Emperor Chengping for Han Xin.

After he saluted, he looked up at Emperor Chengping, still embarrassed.

This made Emperor Chengping curious: "What's the matter, didn't you give the old twelve money?" Why do you still have this virtue, didn't you quarrel with Changle? ”

Emperor Chengping was a little joking, but Qi Zhen had a solemn face, not joking at all, he sighed and said: "Father, the eleventh brother had two sons last year, but the twelfth brother is still alone, should the father give the twelfth brother a family matter?" ”

To be honest, Emperor Chengping really forgot that he also has a son who is still unmarried and single.

Qi Zhen only remembered when he mentioned it, but when he remembered it, he was really embarrassed.

With Han Xin's appearance, virtue, and poor appearance, what kind of daughter-in-law does he have to point him to?

It was when Emperor Chengping was embarrassed, and it happened that Qi Jing entered the palace to report the progress of the project.

He smiled before Qi Jing spoke: "Qi Aiqing, I remember that there is a sister in your family who has not decided on a family matter, is that the case?" ”

Qi Jing was stunned for a moment, and then replied honestly: "The eighth sister of the minister's family has never said that she is married, but she is young......

Emperor Chengping waved his hand: "I'm not afraid of anything when I'm young, I can wait for two years, it just so happens that I am still thinking about what kind of daughter-in-law I will marry to the old twelve, and I think about the ability of the sisters in Qi Jiaqing's family, and it is just right to match the twelve, so let's do it, I will make a decree to marry, you can rest assured, I can't treat your sister." ”

Qi Jing and Qi Zhen were speechless for a while, and said in their hearts that you can even treat your own son badly, and you can't treat other people's girls badly, tell jokes. (To be continued.) )
