Chapter 183: Wood Carving and Gilding

Two people got out of the carriage, one was the Guozijian, a middle-aged and elderly man with a handful of goatees; The other is a young man who is handsome.

"The Ministry of Industry is still the secretary of the Gonglong."

The other person is his son, Gong Rong Ruo.

"What are they doing here?"

Just thinking about it, Wu Zhaoyi came to the door warmly to greet him, and when he saw him, his face was completely different.

Princess Nanyang behind her had a smile on her face.

"In-laws, please inside." Wu Zhaoyi warmly invited.

Oh yes, they're married.

The son of Princess Nanyang and Shangshu is a match made in heaven in the eyes of outsiders.

After they entered the mansion, Xiao Wuxin left.

Along the way, he was thinking about a problem, that is, how the enemy could find the water dragon veins under Jinling.

If you want to flood Jinling, you must find a rich source of underground water.

It's like killing a chicken, if you want to seal the throat with a knife and cut off its major arteries, the chicken will slowly die in pain.

If you want to understand Jinling's water conservancy and water veins, there is a department that you can't bypass.

Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Engineering was in charge of the affairs of mountains, water conservancy, and tuntian, and was responsible for the construction of projects throughout the empire. It stands to reason that the Ministry of Engineering is the most aware of the underground tunnels in Jinling.

Princess Nanyang, as the biggest suspect, is married to the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, which can't help but make people suspicious.

In the Princess's Mansion, Xiao Wuxin tried Xiao Yanxuan, but she was only an eighteen-year-old girl in the flower season, and she had no skills to reach the sky with her hands and eyes at all.

What's more, it is to do tricks and feet on the tribute ship of the Ministry of Rites.

Walking on the street, Xiao Wuxin stopped and looked up at the shops on the side.

"Gilded Wood Workshop"

Four large golden letters attract attention.

Isn't this where Princess Nanyang's sweetheart is?

Just take a look at which kid has such a blessing and is favored by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Entering the hall, a black and thin white-haired boss greeted him and said, "Guest officer, you can watch what you like, if you are not satisfied, you can also customize it privately." ”

"Our wood carving skills are handed down from our ancestors, and even the furniture in the palace is also customized by us."

The boss followed behind Xiao Wuxin and patiently introduced every wooden object.

"Boss, do you have any hairpins here?" Xiao Wuxin asked.

The boss was startled, a little scared, and said, "There is no hairpin, but if you want it, we can make it for you, but the price?" Slightly more expensive. ”

"The price is no problem, you follow this pattern and make me two hairpins."

Xiao Wuxin took a pen and paper and wrote and drew on the paper.

When he saw the pattern, the boss was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand in fright: "Guest...... Official, the shop can't make a wooden hairpin, so please go back. ”

"Didn't you just say ......"

"It's all I said just now, and the shop really can't do it."

Xiao Wuxin grabbed the boss and sneered, "Can't you do it?" Still afraid to do it? ”

The boss "Puff" knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sir, you can spare our family, my son has never seen the princess since then, I swear." ”

There's a story...... Xiao Wuxin asked, "Talking inside." ”

The boss closed early.

When he came to the back hall, Xiao Wuxin revealed his identity, but the boss still didn't believe it: "You...... Really not sent by the princess's mansion? ”

took out the belt to prove his identity, and the boss exclaimed: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Han, please ask His Highness to save my son." ”

Now Xiao Wuxin is also a household name in Jinling City, especially some of the things he has done in the past two years, which have won the support of the people.

"I want to know about your son and Princess Nanyang." Xiao Wuxin asked.

Two years ago, in order to open a mansion for Princess Nanyang, the royal family commissioned Mufang to create a batch of customized furniture. And the boss took his son to the princess's mansion to measure the measurements.

In the house, the boss's son met the underage princess by mistake, and the two young people talked happily and were very deed.

The princess did not dislike the young man as a carpenter, and every time she came to the house to prepare hot water and towels for him, every time the young man was working, the princess always watched quietly from the sidelines.

The young man was shy and did not dare to look at the princess, so he had to work hard.

Since then, the two have been sticking together all day long with the topic of wood carving, and they have been in love for a long time.

The princess likes the poor boy, and the poor boy is also fond of the princess.

But the good times didn't last long, and the princess's mother was furious when she found out about their affairs.

In order to cut off the princess's thoughts, Wu Zhaoyi tried to find a way to get her daughter engaged to her father-in-law, and take the two to get married when they became adults.

At the same time, Wu Zhaoyi sent someone to arrest the boss's son on trumped-up charges and put him in a quarry for forced labor.

Half a year ago, Jinling was going to rebuild the waterway, and there was an urgent shortage of carpenters, and his son happened to know carpentry, so he was sent to work for the Ministry of Works.

Wu Zhaoyi sent someone to threaten the boss that he was not allowed to tell the matter, otherwise he would take his son's life.

For the sake of his son, the boss didn't dare to say that he was wronged, so he had to endure it, how could he fight the royal family as a small boss.

At this point, the boss was several years old in his words, and he burst into tears.

"It's another story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai." Xiao Wuxin sneered.

Repair of waterways...... Xiao Wuxin suddenly asked, "Where is your son cultivating the waterway?" ”

The boss shook his head: "I don't know, this time the water path is mysterious, according to Wu'er, every time they go to the place they are blindfolded, they don't know where it is." ”

"What's your son's name?"

"Mu Qing."

"Good! I'll find a way to save him. ”

Xiao Wuxin left the wooden workshop, and he could go to the imperial city, and if he made a major discovery, he had to face Emperor Zhou.
