Chapter 165: A thousand miles in a day
Although the hurricane passed through the border for a short time, the wind was high and the waves were surging and deep, and the power was terrifying.
The newly built stone embankment in Kunshan remained unmoved, and Kunbei was safe and sound!
The news spread and the morale of the whole county was greatly boosted!
The next day, the rain stopped and the people couldn't help but resume work.
The men, led by the inner chief, rushed to their respective work sections. They wanted to make up for the progress they had fallen in the past two days!
The old women and half-baby boys also quickly rowed out of the city in the drizzle and headed towards the west mountain along the Lou River!
They guarantee the sufficient stone on the construction site!
Moreover, there were more than 10,000 more civilians this time than before; there were also a thousand more ships leaving the city than before!
That was the Kunshan people who rushed back from various counties to support them, which allowed the Kunshan Development Company to allocate completely!
The dike is progressing rapidly day by day, and it is late July, and the days when all the construction sections are about to merge.
~~
It was already in a state of hiding, the sky was stuffy and hot, and the cicadas on the trees were screaming in despair.
Mr. Zhao was wearing a red sleeveless jacket on the upper body, a pair of blue sparse gauze shorts on the lower body, and wearing a pair of black-belt wooden clogs under his feet.
He also wore a yellow straw hat surrounded by a circle of red ribbons on his head.
He walked into Nanshan Temple with a small covered barrel in his hand and lazily looked.
The soldiers guarding at the temple gate were already used to his recent dress of a farm boy, so they quickly saluted the yamen.
"Young Master, come to see the master again?"
"Haha, yes." Zhao Hao greeted them in a angrily and walked into the temple.
After taking a look at the Main Hall where my father was, he turned around and entered the West Side Hall.
This made Mr. Zhao, who was waiting for his son to express his condolences in the palace, feel much more difficult to breathe.
"This brat, I've been going very frequently!"
"Brother should be happy, this means that the nephew has grown up." Fan Datong comforted with a smile: "Come on, let's go."
"Hey, you don't understand..." Mr. Zhao shook his head, feeling like a big head.
~~
Zhao Hao didn't know yet that he had hurt his father's heart, so he walked to the door of the West Side Hall and knocked on the open door.
Then pick out the green gauze curtain and step in.
Jiang Xueying was sitting behind the table, quickly dialing the abacus to the account book.
She is here, so she can't wear cool clothes like Zhao Hao. She is still wearing a pink lace with a light purple iris embroidered collar, a white pleated skirt, a white bead hairpin on her head, and dresses meticulously in a ladies.
But seeing her holding the Ropa in her hand, Xiao Yun'er was fanning her from the side, obviously it was very hot.
Seeing Zhao Hao coming in, Jiang Xueying stopped to settle the accounts and stood up to greet him, and said softly:
"Brother should wait until the heat is gone before coming back."
"I'm OK with wearing this." Zhao Hao smiled and took off his straw hat, and while the wind was flashing, he placed the small wooden barrel on the table:
"Sweet gifts, hurry up and eat them, otherwise they will melt."
"Thank you brother." Jiang Xueying smiled sweetly, opened the wooden barrel, and a cool feeling immediately came to her face.
She saw that the wooden barrel was filled with ice cubes, and there were several silver bowls pressed against the lid.
"Is there a smoothie inside?" Jiang Xueying curiously picked up a silver bowl, wrapped it in a veil, and put it on his forehead to cool himself down.
"You'll know when you open it." Zhao Hao said as he helped her open a silver bowl, which was filled with a pure white and plump cold drink, and sprinkled a little raisins to decorate.
"What is this?" Jiang Xueying blinked her eyes and asked in a delicate voice.
"This is the Sushan Mountain that the Gu family passed down from their ancestors. Haven't Gu Dadong sent you food before?" Zhao Hao pulled out a cold silver spoon from the bucket.
"No." Jiang Xueying shook her head and took the silver spoon handed over by Zhao Hao.
"This old man is quite particular." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "This is something I asked Qiaoqiao to improve. Try it and see if it tastes delicious."
"Yes." Jiang Xueying nodded slightly, scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. She was immediately conquered by the cool, smooth, sweet and comfortable taste. There was a light in her eyes and she said softly: "It feels cool down in a moment."
"Of course." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "How can you be in a good mood without ice cream in summer?"
"Send two to your master quickly." Jiang Xueying immediately ordered Xiao Yun'er to swallow his saliva secretly.
"It's still thoughtful girl." Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel ashamed, and hadn't given her father a taste.
~~
In the Grand Palace, Zhao Shouzheng was drinking with Fan Datong to cool off the heat.
As the project is almost completed, the cooperation between various departments has become very skilled and morale has increased to the extreme.
Now that Mr. Zhao is wandering around the dike every day, it is a negative effect. Because when the civilians see him, they will excitedly throw down their work and surround him to kowtow to him. Listen to him nonsense, which seriously affects the construction progress.
In the end, Pan Jixun ordered him to stay in Nanshan Temple honestly and not be allowed to go to the dike without any special circumstances.
Zhao Shouzheng finally got free and had time to drink some wine every day.
"Oh..." Zhao Shouzheng sighed with a wine cup, as if there were other emotions inside.
"Why is my brother sighing? But today's dishes are too frigid?" Fan Datong asked hurriedly.
"No, I suddenly became idle and I was still uncomfortable." Zhao Shouzheng said with his arms moving: "I was so idle every day back then, why didn't I feel uncomfortable?"
"Brother, people will change." Fan Datong smiled and poured wine for him, "I'm used to it when I'm idle."
"Hahaha, it makes sense." Mr. Zhao smiled and clinked a glass with him. Just as he was about to drink it, he saw Miss Jiang's maid come in and serve the two silver bowls. After Daming the whole story, he took the blame.
Fan Datong never knew what kind of politeness was. He gave Zhao Shouzheng one, picked up another one and scooped a spoonful to eat.
"Um, it's delicious." Fan Datong praised Zhao Shouzheng without any worries, "Brother, try it quickly, it's really a relief."
"Oh, is that?" Zhao Shouzheng also dug a spoonful to taste, and praised it, "It's delicious!"
Unexpectedly, after halfway through the meal, he put the ice cream bowl down again. "The little brat made delicious food. If you don't give it to me first, you have to let me give it to me."
"Oh, brother is jealous." Fan Datong advised: "You should be happy if your future daughter-in-law is so filial."
"Don't talk nonsense in the future." Zhao Shouzheng whispered to him.
"Why, my brother is not satisfied with Miss Jiang?" Fan Datong couldn't help but be surprised: "A daughter-in-law who is so beautiful and capable, she has nowhere to look for her while she is lanterned."
"Well. The Jiang family's niece is indeed one in a million." Zhao Shouzheng smiled bitterly and said, "But what I said doesn't count, and even my son doesn't count."
"You have the final say, it's not even simpler." Fan Datong smiled and said, "This is his own favorite granddaughter-in-law."
Mr. Zhao held his arms and said with a frown: "The problem is that the old man said it, but it may not be counted."
"Oh, I understand!" Fan Datong slapped his forehead. "Why did I forget that person!"
