The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Okay, I like the gift very much, I will cherish it." Li Fu smiled and said, "You go back and rest quickly. I will ask Lao Zhao to send some ice cubes here in a while. If the room is hot, I will ask someone to send ice cubes up."

"Okay." Li Shao nodded.

Li Fu waved his hand, holding the box with the belt and went out the door.

Shitou was already waiting outside with the horse.

Li Shao watched Li Fu leave, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and then turned and walked upstairs.

Li Zhen, who was lying on the stairs and secretly watching downstairs, saw his sister walking back, and hurriedly ran upstairs happily.

When my sister marries King Jingyang in the future, won't she have all the delicious food and drinks?

It's great, and King Jingyang is really good to his sister. No wonder my mother is so satisfied with this marriage.

It's just that my father's attitude is not very good. I have to help talk to him when I go back.

Li Fu rode his horse and returned to the house quickly with Shitou.

The weather was not gloomy at this time. The sun was hanging in the sky. It was noon again. It felt hot after going out for a while.

Li Fu held the box like a treasure. After returning home, Lao Zhao came to greet him and wanted to take it from Li Fu, but Li Fu held it and refused to give it to him.

"This is made by your future mistress." Li Fu had a smile on his face.

Lao Zhao smiled and said nothing more.

"By the way, Lao Zhao, send someone to the inn to send some ice. The weather will be better in the future, and it will not be much cooler than in the hot summer." Li Fu urged.

"Yes, don't worry, my lord. I will arrange for someone to send the ice cubes over in a while."

In the house, ice cubes are not valuable and do not need to be stored. Just make them when you need them.

The people in the kitchen of the house are familiar with it.

Shitou was sent by Li Fu to wait at the inn. Whenever the people there wanted to go out, Shitou would come back to deliver the message. Li Fu would ride on his horse and arrive in a quarter of an hour.

In the afternoon, the maid of the Duke of Ying told Shitou that he didn't need to go back to deliver the message. No one would go out in the afternoon. The women would just get together, drink tea, eat some snacks and sit down.

The men should do what they should do, and they don't have to waste all their time here.

Yan Lide and the others also left the inn. Thinking that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, the Yan brothers went back to the construction site.

As for Jiang Que, he had finished cleaning up the river channel, so he went to the new house with Yan Lide.

They were busy with their own things on the farm, and he hadn't seen how the new house of King Jingyang was built.

When they got there, Yan Lide took Jiang Que for a walk.

He proudly explained the differences between the new house and other places.

This is all their hard work, how can we not be proud?

"This new house will take another year to build, not to mention the academy. After this year's work is completed, maybe next year, His Highness will have other plans. After all, it can't be stopped. But the work on the river channel has been done, and everyone has been sent back. I have no work to do for a while, and I feel a little empty in my heart. I don't know what to do.

If I go back to Chang'an City at this time, I will always feel a little disappointed."

Jiang Que couldn't help but sigh.

I just suddenly had a feeling that it was better to stay in the farm and be exposed to the wind and sun all day than to stay in Chang'an City and do the things assigned by the craftsman supervisor.

It was hard work, but life was comfortable. Although every day was full of arrangements, there was no intrigue with other people in Chang'an City, which was more comfortable than anything else.

Many people in the Artisan Supervisor come from aristocratic families. When they work there, they really have to be careful in what they say and do every day.

Especially, the Artisan Supervisor works for the palace, so they have to be even more careful.

"If you think that having nothing to do is a problem, then you can rest assured that there will be nothing to do." Yan Lide said: "The manor next door is now under Huairen's control. Whether it is to build a palace or repair a water conservancy project, you can do something for it."

"Didn't I say it yesterday? The plan over there." Yan Lide said: "It is estimated that it will be available after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that you have finished the river work, you can take this opportunity to take a good rest and catch your breath. If you really can't stay idle, take people to the manor next door and take a look at the river channels and canals there. Learn about them in advance. When the construction really starts, you can directly take out the drawings and the pre-prepared regulations. Wouldn't it save a lot of time?"

"Now is the flood season of the river., see how the situation is, wait until next spring, and then see how the dry season is. "Yan Lide reminded: "Right now, what a good opportunity."

"If it is done well, in two or three years, the court will see the changes here, and maybe your majesty will make up his mind to reorganize the water conservancy in the pass, and even consider Hebei and Henan.

The precedent of Linying County is there. "

"The north has been repaired, and there are still the south. A lifetime is so long, can you handle so many things in the world?

You, worrying about nothing, I think you are just idle."

Hearing this, Jiang Que also smiled bitterly.

That's right, I'm just idle.

"I, to be honest, just don't want to go back to Chang'an City and go back to the Craftsmanship Bureau now." Jiang Que said the truth.

"So that's it, you are considering it this way." Yan Lide looked at Jiang Que: "Don't you feel comfortable in Chang'an City? "

"People, no matter what, it's really comfortable here." Jiang Que pointed to his heart.

"Hahahaha." Yan Lide laughed: "You, you."

Looking at Jiang Que's tanned face.

I actually felt uncomfortable sitting in the yamen of the Craftsmen's Office in Chang'an City, drinking water and chatting.

"Do you think the manor is good?" Yan Lide asked again.

Jiang Que nodded.

"Maybe, this mentality has changed since I came back from Linying County. His Royal Highness the King of Jingyang is indeed different. If I can work under His Royal Highness the King of Jingyang and do things that are good for the people, even if it is hard, I feel comfortable in my heart. Old Yan, don't you think that this whole manor is like a beautiful dream? "

"Your Highness, you, me, and your brother, after coming to the manor, all have the same dream, and in reality, we are all working hard for this dream, and we all want to see what it will be like when this beautiful dream becomes a reality in the future." Jiang Cong said seriously.
