The intersection of Qingping Street is a bridge, under the bridge is a shallow stream, about two feet deep, there are soft aquatic plants in the water, the people are also commonly used to use the water source in this river, this river is also an important waterway for flood discharge during heavy rains.

At this moment, those soft aquatic plants have been uprooted to the embankment on both sides, and a lump of mud crushes these soft aquatic plants under the body, and occasionally a line of emerald green can be revealed. The originally clear water of the river was stirred into a muddy soup, and dozens of servants stood in the middle of the river in their crotch pants, struggling to dig pools of mud.

The first one on Qingping Street is a pharmacy, because of the clear stasis digging the river, there are few pedestrians walking around the bridge, I wish the shopkeeper nothing to do, so he came out and chatted with Su Xuntian, who supervised the project. Zhu shopkeeper said to Su Xuntian: "Su Tou'er, what kind of journey do you plan to clean up this river?" ”

Su Xuntian said: "This river is the main channel for flood discharge. According to the engineering department, this river was originally four feet wide, two feet wide at the bottom, and seven feet deep. ”

I wish the shopkeeper a happy look and said, "That feeling is good, it's just ...... I don't know how long it will take to clean up this section of the river, as you can see, the stasis has affected my family's business, if it is delayed for too long, then I will have to drink the northwest wind. ”

Su Xuntian said: "I wish the shopkeeper rest assured, it won't be long, don't you see that we start cleaning up from this intersection first, in order to clear this place as much as possible, so as not to affect the people to enter." It can be as little as three days, as much as five days, and this piece can be cleaned up. ”

I wish the shopkeeper heard that it would be delayed for three or five days, although he was reluctant, but he could afford to delay it for three or five days, so he smiled and said: "Then it's hard work, you take care of it, the sooner it is completed, the better." Ah, the sun is getting more and more, is it okay for Su Touer to go down and have a cup of tea? ”

The other side of Qingping Street is a culvert. This culvert also has a flood discharge effect. However, it is a daily discharge outlet for all kinds of domestic water. After the river was built, it was covered with stone slabs, which were covered with earth and turned into an ordinary street.

For hundreds of years, many people who lived on both sides of the street didn't even know that there was a culvert that was constantly flowing beneath their feet. But at this moment, the ground has been planed, and the stone slab covering the dark river has been rediscovered, and the dark river is very tightly blocked, and the gurgling stream can still pass through guò, and the water flow is a little larger and will inevitably be blocked, and it can no longer play a role in flood discharge.

As soon as this culvert was opened, it stinked. Most of the pedestrians have covered their noses and hurried by, and there are many taverns and tea shops on both sides of the road, which were originally very prosperous, but this time the business has plummeted, not to mention that there are no customers coming to the door, and even the shopkeeper and his men can not swallow in the stench that fills their mouths and noses.

The shopkeepers of the restaurant complained one by one, and they went out to inquire one after another, and learned that the big man surnamed Mao was the supervisor of this section of the road. hurriedly stepped forward to complain to him: "Maotouer, this is not good, why did you expose the entire street at once, our business can't be done." ”

Mao Wenzhi glared at the bull's eye. He shouted, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" It's against you, this is the grace of the prefect, it is for the benefit of the township and the people. Do you understand, do you dare to disagree with the prefect? ”

The shopkeeper explained in a low voice: "That's not the case, the prefect wants to clean up the river." We are naturally grateful. We just want to know how long it will take to clean up this river, and we still have to do business, so we can't afford to delay. ”

Mao asked Zhidao: "What's the hurry, this dark river built in the Song Dynasty took five hundred years to clean up once, I plan to build a flood canal that can still be used after a thousand years, so that people after a thousand years will remember the grace of our prefect. ”

Build a culvert that can last for a thousand years? The shopkeepers secretly screamed bitterly, and immediately the nimble businessman took out a stack of big money and stuffed it into Mao Wenzhi's hand, and said with a smile: "A little meaning, not a respect, Mao Touer and the brothers worked hard, take it to have a cup of tea." I don't want anything else, I just hope that Mao Touer can do his best to repair this road, and I am grateful. ”

As soon as the shopkeepers saw him behaving like this, they came back to their senses, and immediately touched their sleeves, arms, and purses. Hurry up and give me back the money, or I'll do you a crime of bribing an errand official, hehe, my old hair's big stick has long been hungry and thirsty......"

At this time, a soap servant ran over, pushed away the shopkeepers and squeezed to Mao Wenzhi's side and whispered a few words, Mao Wenzhi immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Little ones, call it a day!" ”

"Gah?" All the shopkeepers were shocked, and the businessman who had just intended to bribe Mao Wenzhi stammered and asked, "Mao Tou'er, it's still early at noon, why did you call it a day?" ”

Mao Wenzhi glared at him and shouted: "The prefect has an order to ask us to go to Xicheng first and repair the flood canal for his relatives, what's the matter, are you not convinced?" I don't accept and reason with the prefect. ”

The shopkeepers of the hotel asked with sad faces: "Mao Tou'er, you are leaving, what should you do here?" ”

Mao asked Zhidao: "Wait until we finish repairing Xicheng, let's go to Xicheng!" ”

Mao Wenzhi ordered the people to plant the official flags in half of the project area, and then led a group of bare-backed, trouser legs and servants to leave in a stinking mess.

The same scene is staged in the most prosperous part of the third street and six lanes......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the evening, the lady of the Hua family was sifting old rice in the courtyard, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a guest in the courtyard next door, dressed brightly, dressed outside, carrying two boxes of gifts in her hand, knocking on the door and answering a few words with the lady of the Jiang family, and then she was introduced into the house.

The lady of the Hua family hurriedly put the dustpan on the stone roller, twisted her ass and entered the house, and said mysteriously: "Master, just now I saw a member of the family who entered Jiang Shi's house and brought a gift. ”

Hua experienced running around the construction site for a day today, making overall arrangements, dispatching personnel, and inactive bodies for a long time, and I was a little unbearable for a while, and now I just feel like I am going to fall apart. was lying there lazily resting, listening to what the mother-in-law said, she said indifferently: "What do you do in charge of other people's affairs." ”

"!" The flower lady slapped him hard on the ass and scolded: "He is an experience, and you are also an experience, why does someone come to the door with a generous gift to beg him, and no one will come to you to send you benefits?" You don't have a good thing......"

The more the flower lady talked, the more angry she became, and when she saw her husband lying there still looking half-dead, she twisted his ears and lifted him up: "Are you pretending to be dead, do you hear me talking?" ”

"Bump. You tap, tap, tap......" Hua Dalang sat up with a bitter face, and then he heard someone call at the door: "Is Hua Shi at home?" ”

The flower lady let go of her husband's ears, walked over and opened the door, and saw an old man in a brocade robe with copper coin patterns standing outside.

The head shop sells hair accessories, ear ornaments, neck ornaments, arm ornaments, hand ornaments, hairpins, and mirror combs. These things are expensive and cheap, a few pennies are also it, and thousands of taels are also it, and the materials are different. Prices can make a world of difference. As the largest noodle shop on Qinglang Street, "Shu's Head Noodle Shop" sells all valuable things.

Grip said, if you want to talk about the strange value of treasures, only the "tycoon grocery store" on Qinglang Street is three points better than Shu's family. However, the "tycoon grocery store" only sells rare things, regardless of category, and is called groceries. This is not a place where women like the flower lady like to wander.

Hua Niangzi often goes to Shu's head noodle shop, looking at those precious heads and faces that are fascinated by the five colors, but unfortunately she is shy in her pocket, and she can only live by the eyes, she can't afford it, so the Shu shopkeeper is also very cold to her. But at this moment, the shopkeeper Shu was carrying a gift box and smiling all over his face.

The lady of the flower family looked at Shu Dongzhu dreamily, Shu Dongzhu smiled at her, and asked politely: "This lady should be Mrs. Hua, right?" The owner of Shu's head noodle shop on Qinglang Street, I don't know if Lord Zunfuhua can be at home? ”

The flower lady is like a dream for the first time, and Ai Ai said: "Ah! He...... He's here, please come in outside Shuren! ”

The flower lady let the shopkeeper Shu into the house, at this time the flower experience has come out of the back room, the shopkeeper Shu hurriedly stepped forward to see the ceremony, after all, the flower experience is an official, although a little poorer, it is not as if it is a wife, and calmly let the guest say: "The snail house is simpler, let the Shu staff laugh outside, please sit down." ”

The flower lady poured a cup of tea for her husband and Shu Yuanwai, and still went to stand in the yard, and kept secretly looking into the house, and saw that Shu Yuanwai, who was usually invincible, sometimes laughed with him, sometimes gave his hand, and his attitude was very humble. And her husband, who usually doesn't even dare to say a word back when she scolds her, sits upright, brushes his beard and his head, and his expression is calm, and the flower lady can't help but have a strange feeling in her heart.

After the Shu Yuanwai said goodbye and left, the flower lady hurriedly returned to the house and asked, "Master, what is the matter with Shu Yuanwai looking for you?" ”

Hua Shi said lightly: "It's nothing, just ask me for something." As he spoke, he handed her the gift box, and still said lightly: "This is delivered by Shuren, you can keep it." So saying, he went back to the back room, and still lay down.

The flower lady hurriedly opened the gift box, and saw that there was a whole set of head and face jewelry in the box, delicate earrings, sparkling necklaces, and trembling steps, and the flower girl's heart immediately jumped up.

The flower lady put away the jewelry with a smile, and was about to run back to the house to tell her husband what she had sent, when she heard someone outside the door ask, and when she opened the door, she was still a person dressed as an outsider, followed by a small servant, and picked two baskets of silk.

After this encounter with the flower hall and the guest, the flower lady avoided the back room, listened through the curtain, and listened to the person who seemed to be begging her husband for help, what business could not be delayed, and so on.

Hua Shi lifted the door curtain and saw the inner room, and handed the two baskets of silk to the lady, and the flower lady said with bright eyes: "Oh my God, the best Huzhou silk." ”

Flower experience is still calm, today "faint" has become the look he most often hangs on his face, flower experience glanced lightly, and said lightly: "Isn't it just a few pieces of silk, just put it away, make a fuss and don't see it, it's a joke." I've been busy all day, and I'm really tired, so let's rest first, and you can go and prepare dinner. ”

Hua Shi said, faintly fell on the couch, Hua Niang heard him say this, first raised her eyebrows, but looked at the husband lying on the couch in a large shape, and suddenly lost the courage to attack.

Hua Cheng closed his eyes and was pretending to sleep, a pair of hands suddenly put on his shoulders, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the flower lady was like a bride with her cheeks dizzy, and said tenderly: "Xianggong is tired, and people will pinch you." ”

Hua Shi closed his eyes and forced himself to be calm, his face was still as calm as ever, but in his heart, it was like 10,000 grass and mud horses whistling by, and he was really excited: "Master Li is not wrong, with this Lord Ye, it is really fragrant and spicy." ”
