"It doesn't matter so much, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, let's take one step at a time, hey, these big officials, ......"

Zhou Yi was also very helpless, sighing while making milk tea, he never thought that he would be exposed to these officials like this.

After making a batch of milk tea, Zhou Yi felt that this time it might be the most diligent thing he had done. He couldn't understand what was wrong with this society, as if someone had already said thousands of years ago that all men are created equal, right? But why do you have to make milk tea here for a group of people you don't know at all? I didn't even dare to say anything about collecting money.

The finished milk tea was brought out, first to Zhu Mian, looking at the white and reddish things on it, he didn't drink it directly, but an entourage came up and inserted a silver needle into the milk tea, and after a while, until the silver needle did not change Zhu Mian drank it with confidence, the cold taste made him very satisfied in his heart, and said: "It's really good, come on, let's eat together." ”

After hearing this, everyone was relieved and tasted the milk tea in front of them. Those stout guards made this milk tea into water to drink, and Zhou Yi and the others had to work hard to make it to meet their needs.

Su Jiaming ate slowly and methodically like drinking tea, but his eyes were as sharp as a poisonous snake, and he did not miss any opportunity for himself to show his skillful tongue.

But it's a pity, until Zhu Mian finished drinking the milk tea, he didn't think of anything to say, listening to Zhu Mian praise the milk tea for doing well, he began to wonder in his heart if he did something wrong by bringing these people here. But later, thinking about eating and drinking here, Zhou Yi definitely didn't dare to collect money, and his heart was a little balanced.

As for Zhou Yi, whether it is smoothie or iced milk tea or egg tarts, in order to satisfy the appetite of these people, he does not dare to stop at all, and keeps sending them out.

After eating for almost half an hour, Zhu Mian felt satisfied, and said to Zhou Yi: "Young man, you are doing well, study hard, if you can meet in the capital in the future, the official will have to ask you for a few more glasses." ”

"The grass people are afraid, it is a great honor to be able to enter the eyes of the adult, how dare you not do your best, if you get the auspicious words of the adult, the grass title ring will be set to repay the golden words of the adult." Zhou Yi hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, and said honestly and fearfully.

Zhu Mian stood up and walked outside, and sure enough, he didn't mention anything about giving money at all, and Zhou Yi naturally didn't dare to catch up with him and ask for it. Looking at the plates and cups piled high on this messy table, Zhou Yi couldn't help but lament in his heart: "After working hard for more than half a year, one day back to before liberation." ”

Zhou Sheng didn't think so, he was happier than anyone else to be able to serve these people away, and the loss was all small money, and he didn't care about it at all.

"Finally left, it was so painful just now that I didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere." Zhou Min began to pack up his things, but Zhou Yi found a stool and sat down, leaning against the pillar, looking tired. To be honest, dealing with these people is really not a good thing, and it takes a lot of effort to turn around in your mind before you say every word, and only say it when you are sure that you can really say it.

"yes, hey, but nothing happened, which is very lucky, as long as you're okay, everything else is a trivial." Zhou Sheng still had palpitations when he thought of those people just now.

Zhou Yi showed a smile on his face and said, "Dad, that's good, what is called I'm fine, everything else is trivial, I've never heard you say it, it's quite sensational." ”

"Go, go, work, whatever." Zhou Sheng was teased, his face couldn't hold it, and he kicked Zhou Yi's ass directly, urging loudly.

Zhou Min next to him couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

Whether it is for Zhou Yi or for Zhu Mian, this is just a small episode, but in Zhu Mian's heart, he remembers a unique taste in the world, and then Zhou Yi went to the capital, what kind of intersection will the two have, let's not talk about it for the time being, just say that this Zhu Mian, after eating something, came out and walked on the street, I felt that the sun above my head was getting more and more scorching, and after a few street corners, I couldn't stand it, and went to a courtyard next to it.

This courtyard covers a large area, and it is one of the best carving workshops in this Qingshen County, and many stone bridges and stone railings in this Qingshen County are made by them.

Two large stone lions at the entrance are placed at the entrance, which not only looks magnificent, but also advertises their business, killing two birds with one stone.

The guards rushed in first and informed the family of Zhu Mian's arrival, so a large group of people of all ages came out and knelt on the ground to greet them.

Zhu Mian just nodded casually, and walked around them inside, there were a few trees in this yard, and the vine branches were wrapped around the built shed, which didn't bask much sunlight, and it looked very shady, and those workers were working under such an environment. At this time, there are unfinished stones on the ground, which seem to be in the shape of a turtle.

Sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard, Zhu Mian looked around, and the owner of the house hurriedly asked people to make tea and get something to entertain.

Suddenly, Zhu Mian's eyes lit up, and he stared at a big stone tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Everyone followed his gaze, but saw a pool in the courtyard, there is a rockery in the center of the pool, the shape is very chic, a small fountain at the top flows down, washed a stone is very smooth, the sun shines, reflects the light, as if a jewel. The pattern of flowing water on it is extraordinary, but on the other side, the craftsmen have carefully carved out the pavilions, and the whole stone is full of curiosity.

Zhu Mian said "Huh", stood up and walked over there.

Seeing this, the owner of this house suddenly felt a whirlwind of the world, since ancient times, as long as the things of the common people are seen by the officials, the things basically no longer belong to themselves.

Besides, this Zhu Mian, this time he went out for the first time to transport all kinds of strange stones for the construction of Long Live Mountain, and he only collected three boats when he arrived at the destination, but he also found a lot of good things along the way back, so he moved them all. I didn't expect to see such an interesting stone in Aojin Prefecture today. The main body of this rockery is a whole piece of limestone, such a stone texture is soft, it is very easy to be eroded by flowing water, and it is also easy to carve, although it is not a precious stone, but it is interesting, which makes Zhu Mian look at it.

This stone was two or three people high, and Zhu Mian looked carefully around it, and was full of praise as he looked at it.

After a full half an hour, he said to the head of the family: "This stone is exquisitely conceived and quite elegant, and it will inevitably seem to be a little pearl in your family. ”

"My lord, this thing has been placed here for more than 100 years, it was placed by the ancestors when they started their business, and the descendants did not dare to move, for fear of disturbing the ancestors, and I hope that the adults will raise their ......noble hands."

Before he finished his words, Zhu Mian's face turned dark, and he said in a cold voice: "What do you mean by this that you are not willing to pay tribute to the official family?" ”

Usually when he says such a thing, he means that he is already angry, and then he doesn't want to hear any words that go against his will, Su Jiaming next to him, as an official, naturally knows that the officials basically have this temper, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and smiled: "My lord is angry, he doesn't mean that, it's just that this thing has been here for hundreds of years, and he is also respecting the ancestral teachings, if he can enter the eyes of the official's family, it is their ancestral tomb with green smoke, how can there be a reason for reluctance?" Wait for the lower official to come and talk to him, enlighten him, and ask the adults to sit down. ”

Zhu Mian snorted coldly, and then sat down, Su Jiaming secretly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, quickly squatted on the ground, and said to the head of the family who was still kneeling on the ground: "Hey, I said what are you doing with all this?" It's just a rock, think about it, if you upset adults because of this thing, what would you lose? Is it just a stone? No, it's your neck's head, as well as the surnames of dozens of people in your family, which is more important, don't you want to be clear? ”

"This ......"

"What is this, I've told you so much, it's all because I'm the parent official of this Qingshen County, so I told you, and I don't want anything bad to happen in my Qingshen County, he is a big official from the capital, I am even afraid when I talk to him, for fear that there is a word that makes him a little unhappy, then I am looking for death." What's more, it's you, or honestly admit it, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, your business is preserved, can you still get a stone? ”

Zhu Mian waited for a while, and said impatiently: "Have you discussed it clearly?" ”

Su Jiaming hurriedly came to him, clasped his fists and said: "It's clear, my lord, he was confused for a while just now, and he didn't think clearly about the stakes. ”

Zhu Mian looked at the person who was still kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Oh, in this way, then he is still an acquaintance, yes, very good, Li Shi, you take your brothers to move this thing to the ship, put a seal, remember not to damage it in the slightest, otherwise you will all know the methods of this official." ”

The man named by him, Li Shi, nodded yes, and selected a dozen strong brothers to come out, and asked the family for rope and wood, and carefully tied the stone to a strong one, and carried it outside. When they arrived at the gate, they found that the lintel was low, and the stone could not be left out at all. Li Shi hurriedly reported the situation to Zhu Mian.
