Chapter Forty-Nine: You Can't Afford to Walk on This Foot
On the construction site, the migrant workers are in full swing.
The entrance road is paved with cement and marble, wide enough to line six horse-drawn carriages, and on both sides of the road, stone lion statues are erected, and the visual effect is extremely magnificent.
This corridor is the third building designed by Li Ran.
Named, step by step lotus!
Walking on it, every step of the way, a lotus flower will appear, full of creativity, absolutely opening the eyes of the group of turtles in Datang.
The secret lies in placing a piece of glass engraved with lotus patterns on each piece of marble!
When the light is not strong, the pattern is not visible, but once the light is intensified, the color and pattern are immediately revealed.
With the experience of lighting the statue with candles, Li Ran is very handy on how to control the bright light to make the glass shine.
The point is to make glass with a lotus pattern.
Li Ran experimented many times, found the material formula, and after putting it into the advanced automatic workshop for processing, he mass-produced a lot of glass for backup, but he always claimed that this was an auspicious thing given by the gods...... Scarcity is expensive, so that Emperor Wu has more face.
And today, I just used this glass to clean up Wu Qingying.
"Uncle Cheng, send someone to place this god-given auspicious thing, but you have to be careful, if you break a piece, you can't afford to pay for it, and it's also a bad omen!"
Li Ran deliberately shouted loudly, looking like he was in trouble, Cheng Bo was stunned for a few seconds, cooperated with the acting, and instructed the workers to spread out pieces of glass on the road.
Wu Qingying followed behind him, her eyes widened, obviously she had never seen such a special material.
"Xian Hui'er, you walk on it and see if it is loose."
After the glass was laid, Li Ran took the hand of the little daughter-in-law, she stood on the glass, and a gust of wind shook the skirt, like a fairy.
"Da Lang, this thing is so comfortable to step on."
With such a clean and tidy mirror, how can there be a girl who doesn't love it, Li Xianhui jumped up and down, very happy.
"That's good, this auspicious thing also depends on people, if it's a good girl, you step on it, it's still willing, if it's a bad person, one foot up, it's better to be broken than broken."
Li Ran glanced at Wu Qingying, and the voiceover was obvious.
“…… Who are you talking about? ”
This girl really couldn't stand the provocation, and her eyebrows sank and said, "Pretending to be a ghost, I don't believe it will divide people!" ”
"Oh? Do you dare to stand up and try it? Li Ran waited for her to be fooled, and said, "Anyway, you are responsible for supervising the work, and it is within your duty to inspect the quality of the construction, but I can remind you that if you damage these auspicious things, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford to pay for them." ”
"Joke, my father is the king of Liang, what can't I afford to lose!"
Wu Qingying was enraged again, and she really wanted to try.
Come, let my brother see how confused you look like you're crying without tears.
Li Ran asked Xian Hui'er to come down, secretly went to the model corridor on the sand table, lit a fire to heat it, and poured cold water on it......
Hot expansion and cold contraction, fry my brother!
"Bang bang bang!" , A series of cracking sounds, centered on the soles of Wu Qingying's feet, the glass was scattered and shattered into fragments, which was completely broken.
"Oh no, Xiangrui is gone!"
Li Ran shouted badly, glared at Cheng Bo, and asked him to follow, and after a while, all the workers sighed and looked at Wu Qingying on the glass waste like a monkey.
"Alas, sure enough, this auspicious thing cannot be used by non-virtuous and capable people, some people, hehe."
Sprinkle salt on the wound and poke the heart professionally.
Just one sentence made Wu Qingying's face flush, and her fingertips were tightly pinched into her palms, and she was about to drip blood.
"Come, prepare the carriage and horses, I will enter the palace to face the saint and report that a certain overseer has damaged the auspicious thing."
"Wait, wait!"
Wu Qingying woke up like a dream, hurriedly walked towards him, only took one step, and almost knelt down with a sigh.
The woman wore embroidered shoes with thick silk soles that could easily be cut by broken glass.
Her socks and shoes quickly dyed red, and she struggled to her feet, endured the pain, and walked out step by step.
“…… Da Lang, do you want to help her. ”
Li Xianhui returned to the construction site, and when she saw Wu Qingying's pitiful embarrassed appearance, most of the resentment in her heart disappeared, but she sympathized.
"No, she's made her own." , Li Ran shook his head decisively.
At a distance of twenty meters, Wu Qingying walked out step by step, leaving a long trail of blood.
"Don't tell the emperor, I'll clean up my own trouble." , her face was distorted and crumbling in pain.
“…… All right. ”
Li Ran is not hard-hearted after all, although he didn't plan to help, but he has a good impression of this girl's stubbornness...... A woman with a strong personality is not without merit.
"I will pray to the gods again in the form of divination for this auspicious thing, but you should know that forcibly asking the gods for blessings will annoy the gods, and sacrifices must be made."
The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, don't give this girl a profound lesson, how to teach her to be a man.
“…… What sacrifice? ”
Wu Qingying was immediately overjoyed, as long as she could find the materials again.
"Silver!"
Li Ran raised two fingers, "Two thousand taels." ”
The earthquake relief left his family empty, just looking for an opportunity to make some extra money.
"This ......", Wu Qingying was instantly dumbfounded, she was not a person who did not understand the world, and she knew what kind of huge sum of money two thousand taels of silver was.
"You can't afford it, forget it, I'll tell the emperor clearly."
Li Ran smiled and turned around to leave, but his sleeve was pulled by Wu Qingying again.
“…… Who said I can't afford it! She gritted her teeth hard, "Tonight, I'll send it to you!" ”
Heroic enough! Sure enough, it was Sister Qian who was related to Wu Zetian.
Wu Qingying did not break her promise, and in the evening, a silver ticket with a denomination of two thousand taels was delivered to Princess Taiping's mansion.
"Li Jialang, what happened to Qing Ying?"
Princess Taiping's gossip soul was burning, "In the afternoon, like a demonic barrier, I borrowed my martial relatives one by one, and pawned my dowry." ”
“…… No, isn't she very rich, how can she make it look like she almost sold herself. ”
Li Ran looked dazed, with Liang Wang Wu's three thoughts about scraping the people's fat and people's ointment, just two thousand taels of silver, and he could take it out by pulling out a hair.
"Hehe, she is a yellow flower girl who has not been out of the cabinet, what kind of money can she have, I asked her father to ask for money, but she refused, so she made up the money by herself, and I don't know what kind of madness she had."
Princess Taiping was surprised again and again, and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
As he was talking, Menzi came in and spread the word, saying that Wu Qingying was visiting, and he wanted to see Li Ran by name.
Isn't it, this girl's feet are injured like that, and she still dares to jump outside?
People can't be seen, but in order to avoid suspicion, Li Xianhui was called, and Princess Taiping also came to join in the fun.
“…… If you are hurt, go home and lie down. ”
Li Ran saw her on crutches and was carried down from the sedan chair by someone with her pitiful appearance, swallowed the prickly words back into her stomach, and said lightly, "Over there for the Zen sealing project, I will arrange it properly." ”
Wu Qingying's expression darkened, and after hesitating for a while, she suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "I have something I want to say to you alone." ”
Individually...... Does this know what she's talking about?
