The next morning, there was a nervous atmosphere in the palace, looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been placed, some of the overly nervous subordinates wanted to faint.

A steward said: "Cheer up, think about what it is like for other scholars to enter the examination room, what are we?" ”

The subordinate said weakly, "We are not readers, and we don't know how to hold a pen." ”

"If you are nervous, even if you can't do it, I won't punish you."

When these people saw Mr. Shen coming, their hearts had already risen to their throats, and Mr. Shen looked up at the sky, "What are you waiting for, go in and sit down." ”

"It's just a silent book today, and I don't ask you to write articles, what are you nervous about."

The people of the first class of exams dragged their heavy steps, and walked in one by one as if they were on the execution ground, and those who watched the excitement behind were even more nervous, knowing that they would enter the first class, so they had to worry more for a while.

Wen Mianmian personally came forward to deliver a speech, calling this the first talent competition of the Annan Palace, the winner will be the talents of the palace in the coming year, the façade, let them be sure to test their style, test the level, and go all out.

The nervous subordinates felt less nervous in their hearts, and began to think about being the face of the palace, and they would be majestic when they said it.

As soon as the hour came, Mr. Shen announced what he was going to write silently today, and the exam officially began.

As the initiator of this exam, Wen Mianmian admired it for a moment and left the palace with Hua Jingyun, and they had to go to the Ministry of Industry to check the files.

Master Wei of the Ministry of Works, who had just returned to the Yamen, personally received the two of them, and took advantage of the efforts to rummage through the archives to take the initiative to put forward his opinion: "The new streets involve all aspects, and this drainage is the most important, and some streets in Kyoto are precisely because they were not considered perfect, and the open ditch drainage used now is not only easy to be blocked, but also becomes a place for people to dump wastewater, and it is difficult to clean up and unsightly." ”

"Since the new street needs to be paved with stone slabs, drainage is more important, and if the maintenance is not timely, it is recommended to combine culverts and open channels."

Wen Mianmian nodded in agreement, "What Master Wei said is that we have already thought of this situation and are ready to let the water be discharged into the river according to the topography, but the final drawings have not yet come out, and the final drainage layout has not yet come out." ”

"There is a lack of high-ranking people in my hands."

Lord Wei rubbed his hands and said tentatively, "Speaking of drainage, there is someone in the official's hand who can recommend, but I don't know if the princess can take a fancy to it?" ”

Wen Mianmian took a step back and arched his hand, "We are short of such a person, Lord Wei can recommend it, naturally I can't ask for it, I don't know which master it is?" ”

Master Wei was a little embarrassed, and laughed twice, "That person is my old man." ”

Lord Wei's father, the previous secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was in charge of the construction of several streets in Kyoto, and it can be said that he is the most experienced person in Kyoto.

"When he took office, the old man deeply regretted that the existing drainage layout in Kyoto was unreasonable, and he also actively tried to re-lay the drainage, but the resistance was too great, and he could not fight for it when he stepped down."

"Although Rong Yang has been at home for many years, he has not rested, has been concentrating on the study of the layout of urban drainage, and now he has found out the method of the brick and shoo drainage ditch on the top of the voucher, the brick paving water, seepage wells and how to burn paper to drain the pipes, etc., I have always had a heart to hear about the matter of Swallow Lane, but I have ordered me a few times, so that I must mention him to the prince."

The old man's original words were, 'You rabbit cub is useless, if you don't dare to mention it, the old man will go and recommend himself.' ’

He didn't dare to be this unfilial son, and he didn't dare to let him come forward in person to beg, "Don't hide it from the princess and princess, my old man has already gone to Swallow Lane several times, and he is very concerned about this matter." ”

Hua Jingyun said: "This king remembers that Zhenbao Street was built by Lord Wei. ”

"Exactly."

Master Wei gave up, "Zhenbao Street was the last time my father presided over the new street before Zhishi, but due to the topography and some remaining problems, it did not achieve his ideal result. ”

Wen Mianmian, a layman, listened to the clouds and fog, what kind of coupon top bricks and drainage ditches, and also fired drainage pipes, it sounds very advanced, and this Wei boss still has experience, and he also summarizes his experience again and again, not bad, not bad!

Next, Lord Wei cheekily boasted about his old man, and finally asked worriedly: "I don't know if the prince and the princess think my old man is feasible?" ”

"If you can, when the prince and the princess are free, my old man will personally come to the door to explain his method in detail for the reference of the prince and princess."

Wen Mianmian hurriedly waved her hand, "Since we invite someone, it is natural that it is appropriate to visit Boss Wei in person." ”

"We won't bother the boss when the New Year is approaching, and I will personally visit the door after the New Year."

The main thing is that I couldn't do anything this year ago, and everyone was busy.

Lord Wei breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Lord and Princess." ”

Wen Mianmian didn't smile and showed his big white teeth, nodded very politely, and then under the introduction of Lord Wei, the husband and wife opened the file again, and every time they saw a Lord Wei, they could make a detailed explanation, including the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of this person, it can be seen that he was very careful in order to successfully get a chance for his father.

The two of them gained a lot from this trip, and on the way back to the house, Wen Mianmian asked about the old man Wei, Hua Jingyun also gave a positive evaluation, and said: "The original layout of Kyoto City is not very reasonable, and the entire drainage layout is even more problematic. ”

Wen Mianmian had a number in her heart, so she didn't immediately agree that Lord Wei also wanted to know more, "In that case, let's go and invite Master Wei when I find a time." ”

After returning home, it was just noon, and the examination in the house had ended, and the people seemed to have suddenly lost their life, and they were very worried.

Lingguo shrunk his neck and stepped forward, "Mr. Shen said that he hurt his eye, and he will come back to find the girl later today." ”

"Mr. Shen hurt his eyes?" Wen Mianmian quickly understood, and then smiled heartily, "I thought Mr. Shen was really invincible." ”

Xu was too happy, maybe he was in a hurry to see Mr. Shen's jokes, and went to find Mr. Shen without resting after lunch, and at this moment Mr. Shen's eyes fell on the paper, frowning.

Wen Mianmian laughed when she saw him, "Sir, I heard that your eye hurts?" ”

Mr. Shen had a look of resentment in his eyes, "The ancients said: guard against arrogance and rashness. ”

He thought, these subordinates are also flexible in their daily work, even if the handwriting is not good, it is difficult to see where to go?

"It's me who is arrogant."
