Chapter 39: The Smile of a Mortal

When I came out of the palace, it was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the street of Chang'an, and there was a sound of street drums in the distance, and the street was full of people hurrying home.

Most of these people came from Li Chengqian's construction site and the construction site of the Xue Palace, with a tired look on their faces, but what is rare is that their faces are full of happy and contented smiles.

On the street, a group of naughty children were waiting early, and when they saw their father and brother appear from the other side of the street, there was a cry of surprise.

A gust of wind came up, took the tools in the hands of the adults, carried them on his shoulders as if showing off, followed behind the tired adults, stepped on the afterglow of the sunset, and walked in the direction of home.

Sunrise and sunset, this is the ancestors of the people of Chang'an, but in the past, they went to their own fields, but now, they are going to the two construction sites under construction in Chang'an.

Whether it is the school palace or Li Chengqian's construction site, white flour steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable soup floating with oil and water will be served for lunch every day.

And Li Chengqian's construction site, there is no one to gossip, this is discussed early in the morning, from before he went to Shuofang, Zhao Chen had such an idea, so later the money village appeared, real estate appeared, and the money of the school palace appeared.

The people of Chang'an are very poor, the poor only have a few bags of rations, and in the eyes of Chai Lingwu, the two young men, they don't bother to pick it up when they fall on the ground, for fear of losing face.

However, for the people of Chang'an, a penny can eat a full meal at a critical moment.

The weather in April is already very hot. The sun hangs high in the sky every day, releasing heat. Since the beginning of spring, there has not been a drop of water in the entire Guanzhong.

What this means. In fact, many people already understand it in their hearts!

Therefore, Zhao Chen hopes that whether it is the school palace or Li Chengqian's construction site, they can help the people get through the difficulties when they really need it, which is why Zhao Chen couldn't wait to let Li Chengqian meddle in the real estate at the beginning.

The construction period on the side of the school palace is progressing very quickly. All the foundations have been dug up, and these days, I am busy filling the foundations with grout!

The carriage came out of the imperial city, Mu Qiu was waiting outside early, and as soon as Zhao Chen saw Mu Qiu, he handed the reins to Mu Qiu, and he shrank into the carriage.

What happened last time, Zhao Chen's carriage has been specially treated. The inside is reinforced with a layer of steel plate, and the safety performance is excellent.

Counting it, it's actually a little helpless, and those people haven't been caught yet. Moreover, listening to Li Er, Zhao Chen felt that it would be a long time in the future. He's got to be safe.

A bunch of crazy people who want to mess up the world!

According to Li Er, these people are all from Hebei. belonged to the people who used to be Dou Jiande, and later Dou Jiande was defeated. As a result, these people were unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and once again instigated Liu Heimin to rebel.

When Li Er was in Youzhou, he fought with these people on the battlefield and killed a large number of them. This matter, when Cheng Chumo was in Nanfuzhou, he also mentioned it to Zhao Chen, and when he fought with Liu Heimin, Li Er once ordered a group of people to be killed.

Youzhou fought very fiercely back then, and Li Ji's brother Luo Shixin died in the hands of Liu Heimin on the battlefield in Youzhou, and the culprits were naturally these crazy guys.

There is also last year's Youzhou Governor Wang Junkuo, who was previously because he suppressed the rebellion of Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, in time, and as a hero, he was once the Duke of Jue County by Li Er.

But later it was found out that Li Jun was Wang Junkuo secretly instigating a rebellion, Wang Junkuo in turn killed Li Jin and pretended to be rewarded, and after being found out by Li Er, Wang Junkuo was guilty and fled, but on the way to the Turks, he was killed by a group of mysterious people.

To the outside world, Wang Junkuo died at the hands of a group of savages, however, in fact, he died at the hands of those madmen, and Li Er still can't understand what Wang Junkuo has to do with those people.

And this time, those people reappeared in Chang'an again, and directly targeted Zhao Chen, according to Li Er's guess, it may be related to Zhao Chen's trip to Shandong for disaster relief last year.

These people are people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the drought in Shandong last year obviously made them see the hope of chaos, but because Zhao Chen went to Shandong to solve the drought in Shandong, they lost the opportunity.

Therefore, he became angry and put the blame on Zhao Chen, and did not hesitate to sneak into Chang'an and assassinate Zhao Chen madly!

This reason sounds infuriating, but this is the case, and Zhao Chen also feels that Li Er's analysis is not unreasonable.

Because, back then, the bearded guest was one of them, and when he was about to withdraw, he was chased and killed by this group of people, and in the end he almost took the life of Old Man Ji.

A real bunch of crazy people!

Li Er's people have already chased down Chang'an, and there is also a bearded guest, staring at Chang'an all the time, once those people appear, they will immediately notify Zhao Chen to take precautions, but Zhao Chen is still a little worried.

was targeted by a group of crazy people, especially after an assassination, even with Li Er's assurance, Zhao Chen did not dare to relax his vigilance, so he strengthened the carriage.

Not only that, Zhao Chen also asked for an offering from Li Er, and he has been hiding in the dark to protect him, double insurance, Zhao Chen doesn't believe in those crazy people, and he can hurt him like before.

The carriage went all the way from Suzaku Street, and when passing through the cross street, someone among the people recognized Zhao Chen and greeted Zhao Chen in the carriage.

So, he asked Muqiu to slow down and walk to Xinghuafang, chatting with people he knew.

These people are all in the same workshop as Zhao Chen, and they are all neighbors, and this time on the construction site of the Xuegong and Li Chengqian, the people from Xinghuafang naturally went to a lot.

Zhao Chen even found that there was an old man in the crowd, and the old man Zhao Chen also knew, an old man surnamed Zhang who lived behind the Hou Mansion, and it was also a family of several people.

Usually, when Zhao Chen is in the back house, he often sees Old Man Zhang through the wall, and sometimes chats with the old man across the wall, but he is idle anyway, and Zhao Chen doesn't have any Hou Ye's shelf, and he comes and goes, but it makes Old Man Zhang not feel raw.

Fang was in the crowd. It was Zhao Chen, who was called by Old Man Zhang, and saw Zhao Chen slow down the car. Talking to him all the way, Old Man Zhang glanced back at his companions from time to time. A face with the vicissitudes of time showed a smug look.

chatting all the way into the street, on the street, there is naturally a group of crazy children, as soon as they see their adults coming back, they scream, and they rush at their adults.

"Master!" A child of about three or four years old with braided hair, covered in dirt. Lao Yuan held two dirty hands and ran in the middle of a group of crazy children, screaming, and rushed to Lao Zhang's head.

"Look at this baby's dirty!" The old man took the tool off his shoulder, handed it to the child, and said disgusting words in his mouth, but the mouth was almost cracked to the base of his ear.

"You're old, don't go to the construction site, it's good to take your good grandson at home!" Zhao Chen looked at the old face of the old man with a smile and satisfaction. Sitting in the carriage, he smiled and said to the old man.

"So that Master Hou knows!" When Lao Zhangtou heard this, he smiled at Zhao Chen honestly, and looked at the tools in front of him. The grandson, who ran home with a group of crazy children, said: "Little Lao'er's body is still hard!" While the little old man can still move, give his children and grandchildren more hands! ”

"That's not too tiring!" Zhao Chen understood Lao Zhangtou's words. This is basically a microcosm of many people's lives, living to old age and suffering to old age. I closed my eyes that day, and this life stopped.

"Master Hou. Can the little old man ask you for something? When he was about to enter the door, Lao Zhangtou suddenly looked at Zhao Chen with some twists, his expression was very hesitant, and he stammered for a long time, and Zhao Chen understood it.

It turned out that Lao Zhangtou's youngest son got married at the end of this month, and Lao Zhangtou hoped that Zhao Chen would be able to go to his house to participate.

"Yes!" Zhao Chen understood Lao Zhangtou's words, and he didn't think about it, so he agreed.

Isn't it just a wedding party? It's not a difficult thing, what's more, Datang at this time attaches great importance to good neighborliness, extremely neighborly, no matter how big your identity is, if people have red and white happy events, they must send the greeting post.

Of course, who will go when the time comes, it is not necessarily. Like Lao Zhangtou, it is said that Zhang Lu, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, can go at that time, but since Lao Zhangtou has proposed it, Zhao Chen has no reason to refuse.

As soon as he heard Zhao Chen's promise, Lao Zhang's mouth immediately smiled, and he grinned to the root of his ears all of a sudden, and his smiling eyes were almost gone.

Saying goodbye to Lao Zhangtou in the workshop, when he was about to arrive at the door of the house, Zhao Chen couldn't help but look back, but found that the children had gone and returned, and they were surrounding the adults, and each child was carefully holding half a steamed bun in his hand.

When Zhao Chen looked back, it happened that Lao Zhangtou also raised his head, and the two glanced at each other from a distance, and then they both laughed silently.

When he returned to the house, Zhang Lu had already arranged dinner, but Zhao Chen ate this meal tastelessly, the table was cold, and even the food had no taste.

Qin Yuyan went back, usually at this time, Qin Yuyan had served Zhao Chen and eaten, and then went back to the house, but now that Zhao Chen's injury has healed, Qin Yuyan has no reason to stay.

Jiang Chao also went outside the city, and it is estimated that he sent something to the bearded guest again, a typical loser, Zhao Chen has not seen the bearded guest until now, and he has not investigated why, when those people appear, the bearded guest will also appear.

Moreover, how did the bearded man come back from Nanyang Island!

There were only two people at the dinner table, he and Ji Ning'er, and they were in a bad mood, but as a result, Zhang Lu and the others also had a sad look on their faces, although they didn't say it, but Zhao Chenna couldn't guess it.

In the past, they were also accustomed to Zhao Chen being the shopkeeper, but since Qin Yuyan came, this mansion has become a lot more angry, and now, as Qin Yuyan left, the mansion immediately returned to its previous appearance.

This is a silent protest to him!

"I'm full!" This meal can't be eaten, Zhao Chen pushed the half-eaten rice bowl inside, dropped the chopsticks, and got up and left the dining room. (To be continued......)
