******************
Five days later, Mi Zhu, who came back from a trip to sea on the "Zhushan" fortune boat, was very excited, and once again happily signed a huge order for the purchase of ten fortune ships within two years, each with 180 gold. ~
Reluctantly, Mi Zhu drank the send-off wine purchased by Liu Cun and Liu Ye, sat in the luxury car specially designed by Liu Cun for him and made by ten craftsmen day and night, took the 100 bottles of "Langya Jade Liquid" and two sets of fine porcelain that Liu Cun entrusted him to offer to the monarch, and led a huge convoy composed of more than 170 full carriages, leaving Xiahe City and returning to Xiapi.
Liu Cun, who was relaxed, took the tireless Liu Ye around for ten days in a row, and suddenly received an urgent report from his wife Sun Wan who was about to give birth, and immediately ran back to Zhushan without caring about anything, and immediately hit the horse and ran back to Zhushan, and when he got home, he found a group of stable women blocking the bedroom door, and Liu Cun, who was sweating profusely, immediately squeezed in, holding the hand of his wife who was suffering frequent labor pains before childbirth.
But Liu Cun couldn't say a few words of comfort to his wife, so he was pushed out by several stable women, and he could only return to the front hall to wait anxiously.
In the evening, a light rain hit, which soon stopped in the gentle wind, and then the golden sunset spread half the sky to the west.
More than 28,000 fathers and villagers who had already learned the news had already prepared congratulatory gifts and were anxiously waiting for the birth of the young master.
Soon, a cheer came from the Liu Mansion under the Phoenix Gang, and spread to all directions under the response of the mountain: "The young master is coming, and the master mother is safe!" The young lord is coming, and the master mother is safe—"
With the continuous transmission of good news, more than 28,000 fathers and villagers were so excited that they ran to tell each other, and countless old people prostrate on the ground, chanting words in their mouths, praying to the heavens for the Lord Liu Cun, the main mother, and the young master.
In everyone's minds, the birth of the young master undoubtedly means that the benevolent lord of Tianzong has an heir, and the future of everyone has a long-term guarantee.
In the main hall of Liu's mansion, the chief housekeeper Lu An led the servants of the family and Liu Cun's twenty-eight martial apprentices to prostrate together, and congratulated Liu Cun with joy.
On the low couch in front of him, Liu Cun, who had visited his wife and strong son, sat in the middle, opened his big mouth and smirked, and it took a long time to remember that everyone was still bending over, and immediately stood up to thank everyone.
The eldest brother Wang Qi and the righteous son Liu Zhen arrived quickly, and the two quickly stepped forward to congratulate Liu Cun.
Liu Cun keenly saw a trace of loss on the face of his son Liu Zhenxiao, stretched out his big hand and pulled him to the couch, hugged his shoulders and touched his head, and said with a look of pity:
"Zhen'er, you have a younger brother, from now on, you have to be a good example for your younger brother, you have a lot of affairs for your father, you can't be at home every day, our family will rely on you as a man to support you in the future, from now on, you have more responsibilities on your shoulders to take care of your mother and educate your younger brother!"
The deep worry in Liu Zhen's heart gradually dissipated, he left Liu Cun's side, prostrate under the low couch, and promised loudly with tears in his eyes: "The sky is above, the child will never live up to his father's high expectations, he will definitely honor his mother, love his younger brother, and do his best for the prosperity of my Liu family!" ”
Liu Cun was finally relieved, and Liu Zhen, who was nearly seven feet tall with both hands, hugged him in his arms amid hundreds of pairs of complicated eyes, and announced loudly and emotionally:
"Zhen'er, you are sixteen years old this year, and on the day of the full moon of your younger brother, your father will hold a grand crown ceremony for you, choose a name for you, and officially hand over the highest interests of my tens of thousands of fathers and villagers to you to take charge of the 'Zhushan Gewuyuan', I hope you will not live up to your father's expectations, and make outstanding contributions to the prosperity of my Liu family for tens of thousands of fathers and villagers who love you!"
"Father, wow-"
Liu Zhen, who was so moved that he couldn't suppress it, threw himself into Liu Cun's arms and cried loudly, hugging Liu Cun's waist tightly and refusing to let go.
Wang Qi's heart was like a mirror, and he took the lead in coming forward and hugging his fists to congratulate: "Congratulations to the virtuous brother, congratulations to the eldest son, how can you celebrate for three days when double happiness is coming!" ”
Liu Cun laughed, patted Liu Zhen's shoulder, whispered to wash his face, hugged his fists to the full house of fathers and fellow villagers, and announced loudly with joy:
"From tonight, all of them will have a three-day holiday, and Lu An will be responsible for convening people to kill chickens and sheep, Bao Laosan will not train, take the brothers to fish, and then take out all the five hundred jars of wine in the cellar under the Phoenix Gang, which is not enough to transport it to Chengbei Zhuangzi, by the way, notify all the fathers and villagers in Chengbei Zhuangzi that they will also have a three-day holiday and be drunk for three days!"
The hall suddenly thundered with joy, and soon there was a cheer of "thank you, congratulations to the Lord" outside the compound.
Liu Cun laughed, called Lu An, who was smiling with wrinkled faces, to give a few words, and took Wang Qi to the backyard to drink, and when he was drunk, he also performed a set of powerful boxing techniques for Wang Qi and more than 20 disciples, which made the disciples' hearts shake and they were fascinated.
Liu Zheng stayed in Zhushan full of festive atmosphere for ten days before bidding farewell to his increasingly charming wife and lovely children, and returned to Xiahe City with a group of apprentices with a spring breeze on his face, once again welcoming the heartfelt blessings of his colleagues and villagers.
After two days of drunkenness, Liu Ye, who volunteered to be the director of the construction of Langya Academy, pulled Liu Cun to the construction site under the Langya stage.
Entering the independent courtyard of the office that had just been completed, Liu Ye pointed to the large design drawing of the main building on the desktop and asked Liu Cun: "Thirty-six supporting columns have been poured to the height of five zhang required by the drawings...... It's just that the craftsmen have never done such a big project, and they can't make up their minds about how to connect the prefabricated steel bar keel as a whole, and they all want to hear your opinions. ”
Liu Cun scratched his head: "What is the opinion of the craftsmen?" ”
Liu Ye, who was in the dark, introduced: "There are two opinions, one is to ask the ironwork workshop to make a batch of steel connectors, which are in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, which are closely connected with the steel bar vertical keel reserved for the 36 cylindrical main house, and then support the formwork mold and implement the overall pouring; The second is to directly tie the horizontal and vertical steel bar keel of each intersection interface tightly with wrought iron wire, and then cast it as a whole, and maintain it for ten days and nights in accordance with the prescribed procedures, so that the main construction of the second layer can be carried out. ”
"What do you think?"
Liu Cun has never built such a large building, according to the memory according to the most reliable estimate to come up with the main frame design, and then after dozens of experienced craftsmen collectively discussed and modified, it was finally determined, but the specific construction, Liu Cun did not know, can only be handed over to the very talented Liu Ye and craftsmen.
Liu Ye thought for a moment and truthfully said his choice: "The younger brother really understands the construction method and effect of reinforced concrete in the previous paragraph, and the experience cannot be compared with the craftsmen who have built four bridges and dozens of high platforms. ”
Liu Cun immediately made a decision: "It doesn't matter if you spend more money, this is a century-old plan!" ”
Liu Ye smiled with satisfaction: "To be able to follow my brother's side to study, my younger brother is extremely lucky, as if he has seen hundreds of famous and famous students from all over my Han Dynasty, standing in front of this unique majestic and magnificent heavy eaves platform in the world, his heart is surging, and he is happy, haha!" Brother, the younger brother has made up his mind, after the completion of this high platform, he will immediately return to his hometown in Huainan Shou County, bring his wife and children, and settle in Langya in the future, and spend the rest of his life as a professor in the academy is also extremely happy, I wonder if the elder brother is willing to give the younger brother a small courtyard? ”
Liu Cun was very happy: "There is no small courtyard, but the courtyard can be built for you, just under the Crouching Tiger Stone on the north side of Bihu Lake." ”
Liu Ye was overjoyed: "A word is a certainty? ”
"It's a deal!"
Liu Cun suddenly remembered: "You and your younger siblings, nephews and nieces have moved here, what should Lord Ling Zun do?" Why don't you invite the elderly to live together? ”
Liu Ye explained regretfully: "My father will not leave his hometown, and the younger brother and eldest brother are in a good situation now, he was just promoted to the county magistrate of Shou County last year, and for a hundred years, his father has followed his son-in-law, so follow him." ”
Liu Cun pondered for a moment: "It's better to build a bigger yard for you, Huainan is the land of fish and rice, the granary of the Han Dynasty, if there is a war in the future, it will be a place where soldiers will fight, and then you will have to take your uncle to Langya, which is relatively remote and stable, to avoid trouble, even if you don't come, you have to consider that your two children will grow up, and the house is bigger and convenient for friends and students to come to the door!" ”
"Thank you, brother!" Liu Ye's eyes turned red.
Liu Cun patted his arm: "Let's go, let's go to the construction site together, discuss it with the craftsmen again, and listen to it." ”
"Good!"
