Chapter 394: Secret Craftsman

On the twenty-second day of the first month, Lan Sheng was the east, and invited the Industrial and Manufacturing Division to buy He Min for dinner in the Linglong Water Pavilion. This person has set up an online line for her from Jing Di, and it has been very useful so far, as long as he is satisfied with the benefits, he will do his best.

There is a little benefit to treating guests in the exquisite water pavilion, which is not available in other houses, that is, it is quiet.

The hall and the box for entertaining guests are well separated, and there is either water, a forest, or a rockery garden, and then use the beautiful scenery to create some surprises and some features, so that you can focus on it, and you don't care who your neighbors are. Therefore, He Min eats with peace of mind, and Lan Sheng treats with peace of mind.

And He Min is not a woman, which is also one of the reasons why Lan Sheng is willing to give him benefits.

She doesn't like to deal with officialdom or aristocrats, and she has almost no connections that she can trust, because there are too many men who come up with singers and dancers and hairy hands, and she doesn't want to entertain this kind of person, and she is not pimping.

However, she knew the rule of not talking about business immediately at the banquet table, so she invited the piano to come and listen to the sound of flowing water through the curtain.

At the end of the song, He Min took the initiative to send people away, moistened his throat with good wine and food, and said openly, "Miss Lan has a countermeasure this time?" ”

Lan Sheng knew what He Min was referring to, smiled lightly, and said indifferently, "No, the Industrial Construction Division has an imperial order to escort me, and I am a civilian, so I can't say no." If the Ministry of Engineering refuses to change the list, it will only serve. ”

He Min shook his head in sympathy, "In order to stay alive and enjoy the blessings of retirement, Lord Si Zheng didn't even dare to fart in front of An Shaoxiang, who was more than thirty years younger than him. Anyone thinks this move is arrogant, Darong has been founding the country for hundreds of years, and he has never heard of the conscription of women to serve. However, now it seems. Unless An Shaoxiang changes his mind, the list will not change. Holding a silver ticket with a large denomination in her arms, she didn't hesitate to care, "Otherwise, Miss Lan will dredge up An Shaoxiang directly, and there may be a turnaround." ”

"An Shaoxiang is high-minded, I'm afraid I can't afford to give him the benefits he wants." Lan Sheng didn't even think about bowing his head.

He Min smiled dryly, "It turns out that it's not that An Shaoxiang is high-minded, but that Miss Lan is ambitious." Well, I'll just talk about it casually. Don't take it seriously. Jing Shaodong once asked me to take care of Miss Lanta. People are gone, people are there, and I won't sit idly by and watch this. Don't worry, Miss Lan, I can say a few words to the battalion officer of the service camp. I'll be sure to help you out. ”

Although it is a favor in exchange for benefits. But this kind of official who takes advantage of the benefits and does practical things. There are very few of them, Lan Sheng has no ideological baggage, and he is sincerely grateful. "Then there's work. I was afraid that the officials would crush people to death, and An Shaoxiang deliberately found fault, and the battalion officials didn't dare to help me. ”

That's a bad word. Although An Shaoxiang is the chief inspector of the new capital, he is the main one, and everything big and small has to go through the cabinet department, so it is impossible to run to the construction site every day to stare at and bully you. Hades is easy to be, the little ghosts are difficult, and if you fight a good little ghosts, your life is still comfortable. The big deal is that the little ghost is pretending to be evil in front of the king of Hades, I think, with the ability of Miss Lan, that little grievance can still be endured. He Min had already thought very concretely.

Lan Sheng toasted and thanked him, and said, "Lord He hasn't forgotten what I asked you to help with, right?" "She knows the matter of service, it is tricky, but she is not afraid.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, otherwise I would dare to accept Miss Lan's invitation?" He Min took out a picture scroll box with green water patterns from behind him, "However, you have to return it to me after you finish reading, I borrowed it secretly, and I will put it back today." ”

Lan Sheng took it, took out a scroll from the box, and immediately spread it out on the long table next to him. The painting is a picture book for the construction of the five princesses' northern mansions, but what she wants to see is the name of the person who signed it.

He Min poured himself a drink for a while, and walked over to watch with Lan Sheng, thinking that she was just admiring the construction of the Princess's North Mansion, and there was no doubt about it, "If you want to say that the Fifth Princess's North Mansion is indeed atmospheric and unique, if it weren't for the fact that the Five Princesses' Mansion strictly prohibits idle people from entering and leaving, it should also be famous and become a scenery admired by others." Mr. Xuan Long is one of the great craftsmen before the division of the Industrial Manufacturing Division, and he is also very talented and learned, which is not comparable to ordinary craftsmen. Haha, of course, now the master craftsmen in Ju'an are also excellent, compared, compared. ”

Lan Sheng didn't say anything, because he couldn't understand the traditional Chinese characters of the seal, and he was studying hard, He Min inadvertently gave her a literacy, and calmly continued, "Lord He just said that the Industrial Construction Division was separated?" ”

Miss Lan listened very carefully, before the Industrial Construction Division, there were Baigongfu, and later Baigongfu was dismantled into several divisions, and the Industrial Construction Department was in charge of water conservancy, roads and government mansions and other large-scale projects. When I was looking for a picture, I inquired about this Mr. Long by the way. The official positions of the division of the Ministry of Industry are all newly established, but the people in the picture library are recommended by the old officials of the Hundred Workers' Mansion, so they know some of the past. I heard him pull a bunch of miscellaneous, but I don't understand at all, Mr. Xuan Long returned to his hometown 30 years ago, but the drawings were drawn 20 years ago, did the old gentleman go back to the imperial capital? I asked him, and his statement was that probably the Ministry of Engineering and Construction invited the old man to go out of the mountain and set up the North Mansion. But he never saw him, and only received drawings from his predecessor, the general of the war. "That one general offended Lan Sheng, and he was at odds with Si Zheng, so that a group of colleagues, including him, were squeezed away.

Lan Sheng thought for a while, "Mr. Xuan Long is so highly regarded, why are there no rumors of his deeds in the Minzao Bank?" "The famous craftsmen of Daiei will be more or less praised by their peers.

He Min suddenly showed a mysterious expression, "Miss Landa, don't be surprised when you say it, Mr. Xuan Long is not a person who builds an ordinary mansion, he builds a yin mansion." ”

Lan Sheng felt a bright light suddenly hit in his confusion, "Yin House?!" ”

"That's right, the mausoleums of famous families andβ€”" He Min didn't finish.

Lan Sheng said, "Emperor Mausoleum." ”

He Min tightened his mouth and nodded again and again, "I really don't know what the reason is, the living man's mansion asked this old gentleman to draw the map, aren't you afraid of bad luck?" It is still the princess's mansion of golden branches and jade leaves. This may be because everyone doesn't know who is the main creator, plus the previous general did something sneaky. Ah, could it be that he wanted to take credit for himself and pretended to be his creative skills, but found that there was a payment and had to give up? ”

"Does Mr. Xuan Long have any disciples or descendants?" Lan Sheng thought differently.

"No, the treasurer said that the old man was very eccentric, he didn't go out during the day, he liked to be active at night, and he was alone."

"Where is his hometown?" Lan Sheng asked again.

He Min shook his head and said, "About this, it is also mysterious, the old man left a text message to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and it is gone." ”

It's mysterious, and it's quietly reappearing after ten years of vanishing.

Seeing that he couldn't ask any more, Lan Sheng started chatting again and didn't continue the topic. Until she left the table, He Min didn't figure out her true purpose.

After Lan Sheng saw off the guests, he walked to the wing house opposite the curved bridge. There were also guests in the neighboring door, Mu Lin and Brown Laosi, two people who drank a lot of alcohol and drank a few jars, but they were in good spirits, and when they saw her, they grinned and asked her if she could get some clues.

Lan Sheng sorted out the conversation on the wine table over there, told the two of them, and then said, "You go and find out all the Yin Mansion built by this old gentleman, and you also need to find out about the people and things related to him." ”

The brown old man squinted his tongue, "If you want me to say, the old gentleman is letting the dead emperor kill him." In order to prevent those tomb robbers, the imperial tomb must have a lot of organs, and it must be sealed. ”

"Not necessarily." Mu Lin's face was as red as Guan Gong, but he spoke very clearly, "The emperor's tomb buried a total of nineteen emperors, twenty-three queens, and extremely favored concubines and princes, etc., more than a hundred, but I have never heard of the tragic destruction of craftsmen." ”

Lan Sheng thought so too.

At that time, in order to save Yi Ting, who was kidnapped by the three masters and apprentices of Tong Zhenwu, she entered the mausoleum of the prince's eldest son, who died early.

The construction of the mausoleum was quite high, which made her sigh that the dead were no worse than the living, and when He Min mentioned that the old gentleman built a mansion, she couldn't help but think of the secret passage in the mausoleum.

The secret road leads to the mountain, and the mountains just include the mountain where the Xuanqing Temple is located, and the emperor's tomb and the Xuanqing Temple, which seem to be not enough for a day to walk in a carriage, are too close to each other after the two points are drawn into a line. Look at the princess's mansion again -

Finally touched a thread. Silk, can be peeled cocoon.

"Shall we dig that place?" Mu Lin asked.

"Don't dig anymore." Lan Sheng had already considered, "You can't start construction rashly before finding out the direction, in case you startle the snake." Besides, we are short of manpower, and if we really want to find out something, we will sell the news to King Jin, who has a big hand and is an expert in dealing with this kind of thing, and we can dig up the soil and create things, and we can't fight the ambitious sinister villain. ”

"Are you taking revenge on your ex-husband?" Mu Lin laughed, "Tell me how much silver I want to sell for first, so that I don't sell it cheaply." ”

"It's a matter of life, and it should be very generous." Lan Sheng knew that Hyun Jindi's mother was the core cadre of the Shadow Gate, and she was staring at the new emperor and waiting for an opportunity, but the inside of the Shadow Gate was not united, and he might not be a puppet emperor, so he had to find his own way out.

Mu Lin pulled up the fourth brown man, and the two of them also left.

Lan Sheng met Bai Huzhou halfway out, and was not surprised that he appeared, because he was the host and she was a guest. The host invited for an extra drink, and she wanted to save face.

"Has Uncle Bai been out lately? I didn't hear from you, nor did I see you walking around the capital. "Wine, glow-in-the-dark glasses, in the end, the main family, out of the magic weapon, Lan Sheng is happy to enjoy the luxury.

"I went out on a trip, and as soon as I came back, I heard about you, and I wanted to post to invite you to get together, but I didn't want you to be at my house." Bai Huzhou personally poured wine for Lan Sheng.

Lan Sheng loves this slightly sweet grape wine, and he drinks it quickly, and even his eyes are as clear as grapes.

"Uncle, don't believe what you have, in a word, I was punished for what I didn't do, and I was wronged."

Bai Huzhou didn't laugh.

Lan Sheng noticed that from just now to now, there was a kind of affection between his eyebrows.

Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end.

Who's leaving?

In addition to Bai Huzhou's best friends, far away.

She read it, but raised her eyebrows, "Uncle Bai is sentimental, could it be because Yaokong wants to return to Tianxuan Dao?" ”

"Because he decided not to leave, I will never see this dear friend again." Baihu boat sighed.

Lan Sheng was stunned, "Uncle Baiβ€”"

Bai Huzhou finally smiled, "I have decided to enter the mountain. ”

Some people stay for their loved ones, and some people leave their relatives behind, both of which are their own choices. (To be continued......)
