Chapter 661: Three Lives and Three Promises (24)
Long live the tenth day of the first month of the first year of Dengfeng, the night banquet of the princess's mansion.
This date was not set by Princess Qianjin, but set by Quan Ce according to all aspects of the situation, and this date directly led to the defeat of Princess Qianjin's Mansion in the competition with Princess Gao'an's Mansion.
The birthday of the trade-off is on the twelfth day of the lunar month, and the little marquis of the Prime Minister's Mansion must be grand, that is, the servants of the princess's mansion are like clouds, and they are familiar with the way to organize banquets, and it is impossible to redecorate the mansion within two days, from the night banquet style to the childlike and festive top, and the princess herself is also worried about mistakes, so she took the initiative to give up and help Princess Gao'an.
For this, the princess complained about the power strategy for a long time.
Shendu Garden, the construction site of the Crane Mansion.
Zuo Yu Lin Wei General Quan Zhu drove his horse to patrol the construction site.
I have to say that being rich and powerful can really make ghosts grind.
After an arson of the control of the crane house, the progress of the project is rapid, it is no longer on the plane, the outer wall rises from the ground, the project inside, many heads go hand in hand, look messy very much, there are several feet deep foundation soil pits, there are also dotted walls, some buildings of load-bearing stone pillars and stone ladders have begun to take shape, wood flowers and stones, piled up like a mountain.
Quan Zhu tapped the horse's belly with a stirrup, sped up a little, and went around the fixed inspection route, dismounting and stopping at the corner of the outer wall in the gap between the timber and stone piles on the outer edge of the earthen pit to confirm the concealment of these positions.
The last location is behind the shed.
The shed is only the simplest, with thick thatch on it, supported by a few thick locust trees, and the curtain hanging in front of it is made of coarse cloth with duck feathers, which is used to carry the wind, and the sheets and bedding are messily placed inside, and the original color can no longer be seen, they are all black and dark, and they are shining with an inexplicable luster.
There are more than 60 craftsmen living in this shed, which is relatively few, and the ordinary people's sheds are twice as much, they are stone carvers or flower gardeners, and they handle the most precious flowers and stones in the world, and the stone chips that are chiseled down, and the flower branches that are cut off, I am afraid that they are more expensive than their food and lodging.
Quan Zhu's horse's hooves paused here, and a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes, which was finally hidden in perseverance.
He is of royal blood, a nobleman, his brother's backbone is like a mountain, covering all the wind and rain, and the growth of a person probably lies in self-denial, and his nature is mellow and warm, which does not prevent him from hesitating for the sake of the family.
This realization, he once awakened in Lantian in Chang'an, and personally killed the fake third brother and his father's concubine.
Speaking of Lantian, this realm is related to the Quan family, he was reborn there, and the title of the eldest nephew is also the Marquis of Lantian.
It's also interesting.
Thinking of the chubby tsundere nephew, the corners of Quan Zhu's mouth overflowed with a warm smile, and his eyebrows were proudly raised.
When he is a year old, the preference of weighing becomes more and more prominent, close to the older woman, the younger man, at home, the youngest man, naturally, he is, how heroic the elder brother is, in the weighing, it is still to be ranked behind him.
Traveling all the way, he had a number in his mind.
In winter, the days are short, and it is just too late, and the sunset is already dusk, and the sky is hazy, and the construction cannot be continued.
The officials of the prison officers walked back and forth, shouting loudly, and the craftsmen and men left the construction site like swarms of ants, dragging heavy steps.
The hustle and bustle of the construction site has stopped, and it is the beginning of another time, with the scrap residues produced today, the tools and building materials needed for tomorrow, all being brought in during the night.
"Zhang Langzhong, when it's time to deliver materials, why are you still here?"
Quan Zhu stepped on the time to the tent where the overseer officials were resting, which was much more luxurious, with all kinds of furs and a bonfire burning in it.
Zhang Tongxiu was inside, stretching his body, showing his newly purchased clothes, and he wore all kinds of precious things.
Seeing Quan Zhu coming in, standing by the door with a slight smile, Zhang Tongxiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "General Quan is smiling, the lower official is a small family, and he suddenly ascended to the hall of elegance, and he had to make some preparations in advance, and it was difficult for him to control his behavior, and he laughed when he saw a smile."
Quan Zhu smiled kindly, took a few steps forward, looked at it carefully, and nodded again and again, "Zhang Langzhong is too modest, but this outfit is well chosen, it is very good to foil Zhang Langzhong's capable temperament, these pieces of jade are very well chosen, the gentleman is like jade, worn on Zhang Langzhong's body, it can be said to complement each other."
Quan Zhu's praise was very serious and sincere, and Zhang Tongxiu waved his hand again and again, "General Quan is overrated, overrated"
"Hehe" Quan Zhu laughed, and then got down to business, "By the way, Zhang Langzhong, I'm here to remind you that the convoy transporting materials has entered Shendu Yuan, do you want to guard and check one or two?" ”
Zhang Tongxiu was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he shook his head, "No need, the material transportation is under the supervision of Yang Palace Supervisor, why should I bother?" ”
Quan Zhu was slightly puzzled, and looked at Zhang Tongxiu's subordinate officials around him, but they didn't dare to avoid his gaze, and laughed awkwardly, but they didn't move at their feet.
Since being whipped by Zhang Yizhi in public, Zhang Tongxiu's mentality has changed suddenly, it is not a matter within the division, and he definitely doesn't bother to ask, among his subordinates, some people want to hug Zhang Yizhi's big thick legs and act on his behalf, but after a few hours, he was retaliated by Zhang Tongxiu and made an excuse at will.
"That's true, it's me who has a lot of trouble" Quan Zhu quickly changed his tone and looked at the drip on the table, "Seeing that the time is coming, I will go to gather the soldiers and horses and prepare for rotation, Zhang Langzhong, do you want to go along?" ”
Zhang Tongxiu was a little moved, but he pressed it down, what Zhang Changzong said in this regard is still reasonable, the difference in identity is like a moat, even if he mixed in behind Quan Zhu, he only ended up embarrassed, no benefit, and said sincerely, "I am grateful to the general, but it is not suitable, the official position is lower, I have to go to His Royal Highness Qianjin to ask for peace and ...... earlier."
"It's okay" Quan Zhu didn't force it, and smiled inexplicably, "Then, see you in the princess's mansion"
Seeing Quan Zhu lift the curtain and stride away, Zhang Tongxiu suddenly had little interest.
Shen Shi has arrived, and Li Chongfu, the general of Ping'en County's right Yu Lin Wei, led the army forward.
"There is the king of Laojun" Quan Zhu arranged the queue, rode on the horse, and bowed his hand.
"Where the duty lies, I dare not say that I am hard, I wish Luntai Hou what he wishes tonight, and find a good couple" Li Chongfu prayed well, but he couldn't beat the spirit, the opening of the mansion has been a long time, and his communication has not been opened for a long time, except for the people on the Zhang family's side, there is only the Taiping Princess Mansion, and it is not a contact, but he goes, and the Taiping Princess has never come.
"Thanks to Jiyan" Quan Zhu thanked him with a smile, and saw that Li Chongfu's clothes were a little thin, so he took off the snow-white fox fur on his body and gave it to him, "The night is heavy, and the king of the county is good at protecting your body"
Li Chongfu held the fox fur and was stunned for a long time.
Outside the Shendu Garden, there was a long string of carts of people carrying materials, and they came in a hurry.
Yang Siqiao led the soldiers of the Blue Silk Army to check at the gate of Shendu Garden, and when he arrived, the sky was already dark, and there was still a long queue, which was still piling up outside.
Captain Lan Ying asked next to him if it could be changed to a spot check, but Yang Siqiao did not allow it, and strictly ordered that it must be checked in turn, and no omissions should be made.
Another hour passed, and the soldiers of the Blue Silk Army were exhausted and dazzled.
Several large carts came over, swaying and filled with liquids.
"What's in there?"
"Stone lacquer, paint"
The sergeant casually lifted the lid, glanced at it, and muttered, but the royal family was different, this black paint, I don't know where to apply it, but he didn't bother to delve into it, and the long queue behind him made people desperate.
"Hurry up, hurry up" waved his hand and let go.
