Liu Suqin didn't expect that Lu Xiaocheng, who was working in Beijing, would return to Beijing so soon. She originally thought that when Lu Xiaocheng returned to Beijing, the marriage with the Ren family had been decided. Even if he was angry, he would not be able to drive her and his son out of the mansion.

If her son hadn't been begging each other, and had retreated from Xiao Yunyi's marriage because of her own initiative, she had resentment towards her, and she had never been willing to look at her. Seeing that she had all the children of a concubine, how could she not be in a hurry?

But his son's temperament is just a stubborn person. Even if he believes that nine-headed cows can't get back, what can he do?

The mother and son thought about waiting for the matter to be settled, and even if Lu Xiaocheng came back, he had to admit it.

Unexpectedly, before the matter was settled, Lu Xiaocheng returned to Beijing and heard about it from other colleagues. When he returned home, he asked his servants to call the mother and son over.

Lu Chengfeng had already made a mental preparation: "Father, you retired the marriage of the second wife of the Xiao family without discussing with me. This time, my son finally had someone he liked, and I hope his father can fulfill it."

Lu Xiaocheng knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would probably affect his relationship with Ren Shangshu.

But if he was asked to compromise, he would not accept it in his heart.

His son was so outstanding, so why did he become a divorced woman? This made him worry about how he faced his colleagues.

In the end, Lu Xiaocheng did not respond, and just said that he should think about it carefully.

Lu Chengfeng knew that he couldn't force him, so he had to give him time to accept it slowly.

On the edge of the Wei River embankment thousands of miles away, Xiao Chenrui was looking at the letter in his hand.

The letter was sent by Mr. Shen from the mansion. He knew that his grandmother spent all the money he had in his hand and bought a yard for the big house.

My grandmother mentioned this before, but she was not surprised, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw it.

The rebuilding of the river embankment on the Wei River has started, and my brother-in-law has sent someone to deliver the newly invented cement. It is really a good thing. With cement, many things can be solved, and the newly built river embankment is still sturdy and durable.

I and Lord Yao from the Ministry of Works will leave tomorrow, head to Luning City, investigate the route, and see where the Wei River is best to dig a river channel out.

This matter is not careless. If the location is not selected well, it will probably cut off the original water in the lower reaches of the Wei River, so you must be very cautious.

Once this matter is done, the Wei River water will be divided into two parts when it reaches the Luning boundary, half will be followed by the original route, and the other half will flow into the newly dugouted river channel and into the water-scarce Luning City.

This not only solves the domestic water and irrigation water for the people of Luning City, but also solves the situation where the Wei River floods during the rainy season. The lower flow has branches and will not let the flood flow back into the fields on both sides of the straits. If this project is completed, it will be a great thing to benefit the people.

This time, not only were the prisoners who had committed the crimes recently in Pingzhou City and Qingcheng City serving labor service, but also the strong servants of these two governments, but because the new emperor ascended the throne and had a general amnesty for the world, there were not many prisoners in Laurie.

Thinking that it would be cold in the next few months and the construction of the river embankment would have to be stopped. After discussing with Xiao Chenrui, Lord Yao wrote a memorial to the court and recruited a group of young and strong hard laborers, but these people had the money to get it.

Once the notice was posted, the people in Hepingzhou City, Qingcheng, saw that the wages were very good, and many people were moved. Some even went to the recruitment office on the other side of the river bank to inquire. When they knew that the wages were paid every five days, someone signed up on the spot.
