I have to say that the time to build a cemetery for Ye Ziyuan is really uncomfortable for everyone, just in time for the arrival of the New Year.

These household and industrial officials and craftsmen could not go home to reunite with their families and spend the New Year together, but as a result, everyone had to rush to work non-stop during the New Year, which would inevitably cause some people to complain.

But this matter was decreed by the saint, and complaining is complaining, but no one dares to say anything on the surface.

Xu Maocheng also felt very embarrassed as the person who hosted this event, this Spring Festival should have a stable year for everyone according to tradition, but he can't do it himself.

If the construction of the cemetery was delayed because of the Chinese New Year, not to mention that it was not easy to explain to the saint, he would not be able to say anything to Shao Xi.

Originally, this was his chance to perform, and if he messed up, he wouldn't have to have advanced ideas in the future.

However, the people under him have emotions, and this work will naturally not be so smooth, and various problems will arise from time to time.

Although Xu Maocheng didn't tell Shao Xi about this matter, Shao Xi also found out that something was wrong when he went out of the city to worship Ye Ziyuan.

Shao Xi called Xu Maocheng over to ask, although Xu Maocheng didn't dare to say too clearly, Shao Xi had already guessed a few points.

So he asked Xu Maocheng to inform all the officials and craftsmen that they would stop working and rest on Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and that he would hold a banquet in the restaurant in the city to show his gratitude.

At the same time, everyone will receive a New Year gift from Shao Xi, which is to put it bluntly, it is silver.

As soon as this news came out, it was more effective than Xu Maocheng saying 10,000 words to them, and all the people were immediately full of energy, and there was no need for Xu Maocheng to supervise them.

Originally, it was planned to complete the construction of the cemetery before the Shangyuan Festival, but if it was delayed for so many two days, the matter might be postponed to after the Shangyuan Festival.

Xu Maocheng was also worried that the progress of the construction would be delayed because of this, and it would be difficult to explain to Xiao Changyi when he went back, but Shao Xi said that he would take care of everything, which dispelled Xu Maocheng's concerns.

Even Shao Xi himself arranged it like this, so he naturally had nothing to say, and it was easy to explain when he turned around to see the saint.

As a result, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone not only ate and drank in the restaurant in Qingshan City, but everyone also received a full reward of one or two silvers.

Not to mention those craftsmen, even these officials of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry were happy when they got these two pieces of silver.

You must know that with their official rank, there is not much money per month, and this tael is not a small amount.

Not to mention the craftsmen, who don't earn much more than that in a year.

Shao Xi's action so generous naturally has his intentions, building a cemetery for Ye Ziyuan is not a trivial matter for him, if these people are all emotional, I am afraid that they will not be so attentive to doing things.

Now that there is good food, good drink, good hospitality, and money, I don't have to supervise myself when I get to work.

As the saying goes, eat other people's soft mouths, and take other people's hands short.

I ate my own wine banquet and took my own money, if I don't do it well, then I can't say anything, and even if I have black hands, no one can say anything.

Everyone understands this truth, so the next thing went smoothly as Shao Xi expected.

The two days that were originally delayed were driven back by them in the next few days, and the cemetery was really completely built before the arrival of the Shangyuan Festival.

A few days before the completion of the project, officials from the Ministry of Rites of the DPRK and China had already rushed to Qingshan Castle.

They were to hold a worship and conferral ceremony on the day when the cemetery was completed, officially establishing this place as the cemetery of the four daughters of the dynasty, hanging the monument, and conveying the will of the saint.

In the future, the cemetery will be taken care of by the officials of Castle Peak County, and if there is any misconduct, it will be regarded as a dereliction of duty.

To put it bluntly, that is, taking care of this cemetery will be one of the responsibilities of the officials of Qingshan County in the future, and it must be done as a matter, but anyone who slacks off will be held accountable, which is not a joke.

On the day of the conferment, the whole cemetery was solemn, and the plaque given by the Holy Emperor and the merit tablet of the inscription of the imperial pen were draped with white silk.

Whether it was an official who came to Aoyama County from Kyoto Daliang, or a local official in Aoyama County, all of them came to the cemetery.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites read out the holy decree and the sacrificial text in public, they handed the edict to Shao Xi's hands, and then all the officials present had to come forward to worship one by one.

At this time, what they worshiped was not an ordinary folk woman, but a serious lady of the four grades of the dynasty.

In terms of rank, except for Shao Xi, all the people present were not as high as Ye Ziyuan's in terms of rank, so every official's worship did not dare to be sloppy and perfunctory.

After a complicated worship ceremony, all the officials came to Shao Xi to salute to show their condolences, and Shao Xi also returned the salute one by one.

Originally, according to tradition, Shao Xi should not have come to the cemetery at this time, but because Ye Ziyuan was born alone, there were no other relatives in this world except Shao Xi, so Shao Xi couldn't care so much.

When all the rituals were completed, the officials of the Ministry of Rites came to Shao Xi and saluted him to say goodbye.

Shao Xi originally intended to invite them into the city for a reception before letting them return to Kyoto, but because of the emperor's order, the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to delay, and wanted to hurry back to Beijing to resume their lives, so they politely thanked them.

Now that he has decided to leave, Xu Maocheng and these officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Household and Industry will also go back with him.

Then Fu Biao, Long Qitai and Xuanjiawei were also accomplished, and they were arranged by Shao Xi to return to Daliang with them.

When they came, they were mighty, and when they returned, they were also mighty, but Shao Xi, Lao Wu, and Wu Qiu'er did not return with them.

The order received by the officials of the Ministry of Rites was only to come to Qingshan County to confer the title on Ye Ziyuan, as for whether Shao Xi would go back or not, and where he planned to go, the saint did not explain, and he had no right to ask, so these things were all arranged by Shao Xi.

Watching the large group of people gradually walk away until they disappeared, Shao Xi turned his head and said to Xing Wenxin: "Lord Xing, we are going to leave for the Western Regions in the next two days, and in the future, this cemetery will ask Lord Xing to take care of it more."

"If Lord Xing has any difficulties, he will say to the official that he will try his best to solve them, and we will not know when we will return to Qingshan County when we leave, and Lord Xing will have to worry about everything in the future."

Xing Wenxin and all the officials in Qingshan County have seen Shao Xi's methods of dealing with Chen Mohuai and others, and they said in their hearts that your wife's cemetery, even if you don't say it, no one dares to slack off.

This Lord Shao can't afford to offend, if something goes wrong, he may not be able to deal with it in the future!

Xing Wenxin hurriedly bowed respectfully to Shao Xi and replied: "Lord Shao, you are really too polite, taking care of Mrs. Zun is a matter within the responsibility of the lower officials and others, how dare we neglect the four-grade Lady of the Holy Lord's personal seal?"

"Lord Shao can rest assured, the lower officials will specially arrange people here to clean the cemetery every day and worship Mrs. Zun, and they will never dare to make any mistakes.

Shao Xi is still very relieved about Xing Wenxin's affairs, and he believes that he will not look at the wrong person.

It's just that it looks a little ironic now, a year ago, Xing Wenxin was still following his own idea and arranged for Qingshan City to arrest Ye Ziyuan everywhere.

Now that Ye Ziyuan has become the wife of the fourth grade, Xing Wenxin has to turn around and take care of Ye Ziyuan's cemetery carefully, and the change of identity before and after will make people feel a little abrupt.

The matter is almost explained, Shao Xi took Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er and Xing Wenxin and other officials to return to the city, and they are going to leave Qingshan City in the next two days.

Before going to the Western Regions, they still have to go to Wanxian, after all, they have all come, Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu's two boys are now serving in Wanxian, it is better to just stop by and have a look.

It's been a year, and I don't know how Zhang Chong's kid is now?

Before returning to the city, Shao Xi finally gave Ye Ziyuan another incense.

During the days when he stayed in Qingshan City, Shao Xi would come almost every day, but now that he was leaving, the reluctance in his heart unconsciously came up again.

The last time she left, it was just a lonely grave, and the only name Shao Xi could give her was to recognize her as his wife.

This time, it looks different on the surface, but Shao Xi still feels that Ye Ziyuan is lonely, as long as he is not here, even if someone comes to clean and worship every day, Ye Ziyuan is still lonely.

"Purple kite, I'm leaving again, the last time I left was a year, and I don't know how long it will be this time.

"There are so few things I can do for you when you are alive, and now no matter how much you do, you can't make up for the regrets you left behind, I have done everything I can, I hope you won't blame me anymore.

"If possible, I hope to see you again in the next life, I promise you that at that time I will definitely take you to travel all over the world, and I will never be separated from you hand in hand until I am old, and I only owe you in this life to make up for you in the next life."

After speaking, Shao Xi raised his hand and touched the tombstone in front of him again, his eyes were full of sadness and reluctance.

Lao Wu stepped forward and patted Shao Xi on the shoulder, which was not only to comfort him, but also to remind him that it was not too early and it was time to go back to the city.

Shao Xi got up and left the cemetery with everyone, and before leaving the cemetery, he still turned his head and took one last look at the stone tomb where his beloved was buried.

In the end, he finally turned around and left as if he had made up his mind, and walked in the direction of Qingshan City with Lao Wu and the others.

When everyone saw that they were about to come to the south gate of Qingshan City, they suddenly heard someone calling behind them.

Shao Xi turned his head and looked, he was also very surprised, it was no one else who came, it was Fu Biao who had left Fu Biao with Xu Maocheng, Long Qitai and others.

Which one is he going to make trouble again?
