The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Old Zhao looked outside from time to time to see if his husband had returned.

He had already drunk two cups of tea.

He looked outside again.

Seeing a familiar figure in the yard walking towards the hall, Old Zhao stood up from his chair.

Du Gou was also confused by Old Zhao's move. He stood up from his chair carefully and looked outside following Old Zhao's gaze.

"My husband."

Old Zhao bowed his hands.

While the two stood up and waited in the hall, Li Fu had already come in from the door.

"Du Wenjian pays homage to His Royal Highness King Jingyang." Du Gou bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite, please sit down." Li Fu replied with a smile, then looked at Lao Zhao: "I have asked the kitchen to prepare food, and I will clean up the side hall and invite Mr. Du to have a meal." Li Fu said with a smile: "I dare not say anything else about the manor, but the food is unmatched by other places in Chang'an City. Wen Jian, come and try it."

Li Fu greeted Du Gou with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Fu took Du Gou to the side hall.

Came here from Chang'an, set out in the morning, and waited in the hall after arriving here, and didn't even have lunch. This kid is really an honest person.

After the two sat down, Li Fu accompanied Du Gou to eat. When they were almost done, he asked Du Gou about his intention to come to the manor.

Du Gou bowed and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has granted me the honor of being promoted to the position of Chief Craftsman, and has specially asked me to come to the manor to help you with your work."

"Chief Craftsman?" Li Fu smiled, "This is a hard job, especially when you have to work on the manor. Did you see this manor when you came here? There are many people, all of them are craftsmen, and they do physical work on the construction site. The people who are in charge of the craftsmen come here to manage the craftsmen on the construction site, and there are many other chores to do."

"Over in Chang'an City, the Chief Craftsman is recruiting workers, and the construction of the competition hall has begun. Why don't you stay in Chang'an City?" Li Fu asked curiously.

"My father said that I should come to the manor to gain more experience. I can learn a lot here. Although there is a competition hall under construction in Chang'an City, the drawings of the competition hall are all from your manor. If I come here with a learning mentality, it is most appropriate to come to the manor." Du Gou bowed modestly and said.

"I see." Li Fu smiled.

As for Du Ruhui's idea, it was clear now.

It was probably because His Majesty had revealed some news to Du Ruhui, so Du Ruhui arranged his eldest son to live in this manor.

Anyway, I will go to Cuiwei Palace in two days. I will confirm with Li Erfeng at that time, and then I will understand everything.

"If that's the case, I will take you around the manor in the afternoon to meet Yan Shaojiang and others." Li Fu smiled and said, "You have just become an official of the Craftsmanship Supervisor, and you are also a colleague of Yan Shaojiang and others. Go and say hello. At present, the most important part of the manor is managed by Yan Shaojiang."

"Yes, everything will be arranged by His Highness."

The biggest impression Du Gou had after this meal was that the food in Jingyang Palace was really well-deserved.

I was hungry all morning, and when I encountered the delicious food in the palace, if I hadn't been thinking about the etiquette of the son of aristocratic family, I'm afraid that the way I ate would be as good as those in the army.

After lunch, Li Fu took Du Gou to the construction site. Although the sun was still hot and uncomfortable, it was much better than noon.

"Working on the construction site is the most miserable. Even in this hot sun, you still have to work on the construction site. In the past, we rushed to level the foundation and build the framework. The purpose is to work in a cool place when it is the hottest time." Li Fu explained: "Look outside, the framework is built outside, so there is shade. Working under the shade will not cause sunburn and peeling. Otherwise, after a day, it would be miserable to go back and take a bath."

"Wait until the evening, the sun sets, and it is not so hot "I'll go outside and do the work outside."

"This kind of thing sounds insignificant, but this kind of ingenuity also protects many craftsmen. There is mung bean soup every day on the construction site to prevent craftsmen from getting heatstroke."

"Wen Jian, in the whole manor, whenever you work, whether it's physical or running errands, my requirements are only four words, that is, people-oriented."

"Others are ranked behind, and talent is the most important."

Li Fu must make these words clear to Du Gou.

All young people from aristocratic families in Chang'an City have been educated since childhood to think that they are superior to others. They look down on the common people and those who are mediocre and ordinary.

People are born into different classes.

In this eraLi Fu couldn't say that their views were wrong.

But in his manor, human life is valuable.

Working for the manor and creating value, they are precious.

"Money is something that can be earned again if it's gone, but people are different. Once a person is gone, it's gone. No matter how much effort you make later, it can't be brought back. Therefore, when you arrive at the manor, you will see that there are many expenses, all for the purpose of making the craftsmen live more comfortably here and to ensure their health." Li Fu said: "Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is not necessary to do this, but in the manor, it is not possible."

"Wen Jian, you were born in the Jingzhao Du family. You have never experienced the life of ordinary people. You may not have seen the hardships of ordinary people's lives. You have been working hard since you were a child. The education is the strict education of the aristocratic family for the heirs. They teach you how to learn talents for the prosperity of the family, display these talents, and put the interests of the family first. Everything else can be sacrificed. "

"You can achieve this premise, but only for yourself. If you work on this farm, put these things away. "Li Fu said: "Because here, many things are not impossible, but I, the landlord, will not allow it."

Li Fu does not want the aristocratic family to come here and treat the craftsmen as non-human beings with their arrogant attitude.

In this case, let alone Lao Du's face, even Li Erfeng's face will not work.

"Wen Jian will follow the teachings of His Highness." Du Gou said respectfully.

"If you really listen, understand, and even have a compassionate heart for the country and the people, then in the future, you may not be worse than your father." Li Fu looked at Du Gou with a smile.

Hearing this, Du Gou also smiled.

Follow in the footsteps of my father, become my father, surpass my father?

Stand on my father's shoulders, stand higher, see farther.......

My father is right.
