Chapter 147: Righteous Daughter?
At this time, the overseer trotted over, wiped the sweat drops on his head, and said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, according to the scale of the expansion of the wharf and the calculation of the construction period, there are many masons and construction workers needed, you can see ......."
"Ask me for this little thing? What do you overseers want to eat? "The house has a straight temper, and it has never been a minus to the villain who can only flatter and not do practical things.
The overseer is not useless, he just can't figure out his temper with the Qin Cha sent from above, and he doesn't dare to be good at it! Since the above is willing to give him power, what else does he have to worry about?
As soon as Yu Xiaocao heard that the construction of the port needed a mason, he remembered his brother-in-law. The little uncle has no other skills, and the work skills of a mason are still excellent. Since Brother Han's master uncle is in charge of this matter, it has nothing to do with it, and it will be invalid after expiration!
"General Fang......"
"What General Fang! It's so out-of-the-box!! Based on the relationship between your family and my junior brother, let's call me Uncle Fang! "House Town is still quite angry with this young and eccentric little girl.
Yu Xiaocao was not polite to him, and smiled even sweeter: "Uncle Fang! Xiaocao has a small matter, I would like to ask you a little favor......"
"How small?" House Town teased her.
Yu Xiaocao glanced at the overseer, and deliberately whispered in his ear, but the volume was actually loud enough for a few people around him to hear: "Uncle Fang, the new port must need a lot of manpower, right?" Did these people come from above, or did they recruit them now? ”
The house town also deliberately lowered the volume, and said mysteriously: "The Ministry of Engineering above sent a few people over, and in addition, they were all recruited from the local area. How? Someone in your family wants to work on the docks? ”
The overseer had a lot of questions about the acquaintance between Lord Qincha and the fisherwoman who sold braised vegetables on the dock. But seeing Lord Qincha's attitude towards the little girl, just like treating his own children and nephews, the eight-sided and exquisite supervisor, he naturally knew what to do.
He listened sideways, and heard Xiaocao say with a little embarrassment: "Uncle Fang, my little uncle's masonry work is good!" There is nothing we don't know about in our ten miles and eight villages! I heard that he also came to the docks to find work...... Or do you put him to the test? ”
Housetown raised an eyebrow and glanced in the direction of the overseer. The overseer obediently said, "What else is the test?" What the little grass girl recommended, can there be a mistake? See the new shed over there? Later, let your brother-in-law go there directly, and I'll register there! ”
Yu Xiaocao beckoned in the direction of Liu Zhiwei and said to him who was trotting over: "Cousin, do you know where the little uncle is?" Let him hurry up and register with this adult! ”
"Registration? What do you do? Liu Zhiwei cautiously glanced at the official uniforms on General Fang and his entourage, and his mind couldn't turn for a while.
Yu Xiaocao glared at him and said, "Of course, the masons are registered...... If you want to go, you will go, ask so much what to do? If you make a mistake, see if your uncle can spare you! ”
Liu Zhiwei glanced at the adults present again, and his eyes widened: I'm obedient! Sister Xiaocao actually got into a relationship with the adults who were in charge of the renovation of the dock. Tsk, Sister Xiaocao's courage is also bigger, and she doesn't change her face in front of several adults, if she changes him, she probably won't even dare to speak! And the most strange thing for him is that Sister Xiaocao can actually speak in front of adults? What the hell is going on?
Although there were thousands of questions in his heart, Liu Zhiwei still suppressed the confusion in his heart and ran to find his uncle. He knew very well what this job meant to his uncle and to their family.
It is difficult to complete the construction of the port within three to five years. This means that in the next three to five years, Uncle Xiao will have a stable income and ensure income during drought and flood! I heard that the emperor attaches great importance to the construction of the port, and also sent a messenger to supervise the progress.
There have long been rumors on the wharf that the workers who participated in the construction of the wharf are paid no less than the porters on the wharf for a day! Many dock workers are ready to give it a try at the recruitment office!
Liu Zhiwei dug out his uncle from the crowd in front of the shed where he was recruiting workers. Liu Hao was trying all his strength at this time, wanting to squeeze to the front, and the more he was in the front, the more hope he would have to be admitted. But the people who came to apply were all big men who were used to doing rough work, and his not so burly figure could be squeezed past others?
Unexpectedly, Liu Hao, who was picked up by his nephew, said with a displeased face: "Zhiwei, what are you doing here?" I finally squeezed into the middle, and I was dragged by you like this, and all my efforts were wasted! What the hell is going on, hurry up! ”
"Uncle, don't squeeze with these people! Sister Xiaocao left the relationship for you, and let you meet directly with the person in charge of recruitment! Liu Zhiwei pulled the uncle away from the crowd, but said in a low voice with excitement.
Liu Hao was overjoyed, then pulled down his face and said, "Don't make fun of my uncle!" How could Xiaocao know Supervisor Zhang? Even if they know, why did Supervisor Zhang give her a little girl's face? ”
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Liu Zhiwei said a little anxiously: "Uncle! How could I possibly joke about this? Is it true, don't you know when you go? Hurry up, other adults can't wait to leave! ”
Liu Hao suspiciously followed his nephew to Lao Liu's noodle stall, and saw a senior official in an official uniform, sitting on a stool with a golden knife, talking and laughing with his niece. Supervisor Zhang, whom he recognized, was by his side, laughing with him.
Where had he ever seen Supervisor Zhang grovel like this? Supervisor Zhang has the right to recruit workers, and has always been arrogant to those who apply for recruitment, and does not look at them seriously at all. At this time, the person who had always had eyes on the top of his head actually listened to his niece with a smile. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it!
"Hello adults! Greetings to all of you! "After all, Liu Hao has helped in the town, and he has more knowledge than the farmer who only knows how to face the loess with his back to the sky, so he doesn't care about the doubts in his heart, and he will give the adults a salute first!
House Town looked at him carefully, nodded and said, "Hmm! Not bad! It looks like a talent. I heard, you do a good job of masonry? ”
"The grass people are terrified, and they don't deserve the praise of adults! It's been fifteen years since the grass people started learning to work with the town's masons at the age of fourteen! Liu Hao also saw that he was the biggest official among the three, and replied respectfully.
House Town approvingly: "Don't be arrogant or impatient, deal with it properly!" At first glance, he is a practical person! Xiao Zhang, what do you think? ”
"Your eyes are like torches! The villain admires it so much! Supervisor Zhang didn't forget to slap the ass again, and asked a few questions about construction as if playfully, and Liu Hao answered them one by one cautiously.
Supervisor Zhang also said with satisfaction: "The person recommended by Miss Xiaocao is really good!" Okay, just follow me in the future! Can you write? ”
"When I was young, I went to school for a few years, and although I didn't read much, I recognized a few words. As for writing, it may not be so beautiful! Liu Hao said modestly.
Supervisor Zhang seemed to be very satisfied with his knowledge, and said with a smile: "We are not taking the imperial examination, why do you want such beautiful words?" Let's go, help me register for the job...... Koyanagi, do you know a mason, you can also introduce me! After all, it's much easier to use familiar hands than those who haven't......
The matter of the little uncle was handled so easily! For the sake of General Fang's face, the overseer shouldn't be going to trouble his uncle again, right? Yu Xiaocao looked at the backs of Liu Hao and Supervisor Zhang, and showed a comfortable smile.
There was a smile on his face from beginning to end, this little girl with excellent cooking skills was very angry with him! The house town has passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and after settling down, he also married a wife, probably a secret wound left by the perennial war, although he is nearly fifty years old, but he has no children under his knees. His wife persuaded him many times to accept a few concubines, but he refused.
The emperor has sent the imperial doctor to check the pulse of him and his wife many times, but he has come up with an answer, the reason is not in his wife, but in him! Although the doctor comforted him and said that if he took care of it, he should be able to get better. But after so many years, he gradually gave up......
Fortunately, the junior brother became his own son early, and in the future, the junior nephew will be like his son, and he will definitely devote all his connections to cultivate him! With the talent of his master and nephew, his future achievements will never be below him!
With no children and no daughters, he will inevitably pay more attention to some sensible and interesting children. For example, his little nephew, and then ...... This little adult-like girl in front of her!
"Little grass! It's okay to be Uncle Fang's daughter? "The house town moved and made a decision.
Wu Yun's eyes widened, and he was quite anxious in his heart. The general is a dignified three-grade official, and he is trusted by the emperor, as long as he opens his mouth and says that he wants to accept his righteous sons and daughters, how many officials in Beijing line up to send their children to them. How can it be ...... How can you accept a small peasant girl as a righteous daughter because of a bowl of noodles and a plate of braised vegetables?
He squeezed his eyes and crooked his mouth, and if he couldn't hint at it, he came to make it clear: "My lord! The matter ...... Do you want to wait until you go back to Beijing to discuss with your wife before making a decision? ”
The house town looks majestic, and it also makes the enemy fearful on the battlefield, but it is a little afraid at home. It is said that it is afraid of guilt, but it is not. It's just that he is more considerate of his wife and has a little more respect than others.
Fang Zhen squinted his eyes and glanced at his cronies, and said, "My wife, I desperately want a righteous daughter than I am!" Xiaocao is smart and sensible, and she will like it when she sees it! ”
If it was someone else, when he heard that he was favored by the Sanpin master and accepted as a righteous daughter, he would have nodded ecstatically and agreed. But Xiaocao is no one else after all! When the emperor opened his mouth to accept her as his granddaughter, he could calmly refuse, let alone a third-grade general?

In other words, when going on a blind date, the two strangers were relatively speechless and embarrassed......
It's April Fool's Day! Beware of being deceived!
