Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 354 A misunderstanding

Tao Hongying was angry on the spot, "The Yan family is never finished, right? Time and time again. What do you want to do this time? The beatings you received before are long enough to remember?!"

 The old lady felt that Mr. Zhou would not go so far as to stand up for the Yue family.

After all, when the young and old of the Yan family were beaten before, he didn't even stop them.

She persuaded and said: "Don't be angry yet, let's go and take a look. Maybe Mr. Zhou has something else to do..."

Li Laosi thought the same thing and went out first, followed by others.

Jiayin was not worried either. He hugged the fruit with a smile and ate it while watching the fun.

　　When the Yan family came over to make trouble, she and her grandma were the only ones at home, and they had to protect the pregnant master, so she had to step in.

Today, my parents are both at home, and the foster father next door is even more at home.

Whoever dares to cause trouble will be wiped out before they even take a stand.

 So, feel free to eat...

 No, it’s about eating the fruit with peace of mind!

Master Zhou looked a little haggard, and he was walking around at the entrance of the village with a dozen craftsmen holding various tools in his hands.

He was startled when he suddenly saw the Li family arriving in a "menacing" manner.

The craftsmen behind him were pretty good, so they quickly surrounded him to protect him.

Mr. Zhou quickly explained, "Don't panic, we're not here to fight. Just talk."

Having said that, he stepped forward and saluted the Li family with a gentle smile, "Old madam, I came here today for official business. The emperor previously rewarded Broken Gold Beach with the 'Feng Shui Treasure Land' archway. It's time to start construction."

“Let’s come over and survey and see where it’s suitable to build it. If the old lady and the villagers have any ideas, just let us know and we’ll make adjustments at any time.”

Everyone in the Li family breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little sorry for misunderstanding Mr. Zhou.

Mrs. Li hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Zhou, come home for a sip of tea first. How can anyone come over and start working directly? It's not an urgent job?"

Master Zhou waved his hand, "Thank you, madam, for your kindness, but there are a lot of errands in the Yamen, so I can't stay longer. These dozen craftsmen are all good workers. I will bring them here today to choose the location first, and we can start digging the foundation tomorrow."

“Otherwise, it will be freezing cold for a while. If the archway is only half-built and we have to wait until next spring to continue, it will be too ugly.”

Everyone nodded and did not feel that Mr. Zhou's attitude was deliberately alienating. After all, when he was building the valley, he was also so serious and responsible.

 At first, the village chief and Li Laoer discussed this matter when they came back from offering jade melons. Later, after discussing with everyone, they decided to build the archway in Hexi.

　　It is the place where the main road from Xindu comes down, turns to the small road that leads to Suijingtan, and crosses the small river.

In this way, all people entering and leaving Broken Gold Beach must enter and exit under the archway. This is a shock and the pride of the whole village!

Next year, the villagers will pave the path and build a new stone bridge...

Mr. Zhou also thought that the place was good, so he took everyone there. After working for a long time, he finally decided on the location and pointed it out to everyone.

 At this time, the village chief, Uncle Zhao and others also arrived.

I have to say that Mr. Zhou is indeed quite capable. He explained everything clearly and carefully to everyone, and everyone was happy to hear it.

The village chief shouted to the villagers, "Go and pick a basket of fruits to quench the thirst of Mr. Zhou and the masters!"

Immediately some villagers ran away, but Mr. Zhou couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. "Uncle Village Chief, with this archway, the fruits and melons here will be sold at a better price. Don't let us eat them now." "What a waste!" "How is it a waste?" the village chief said happily, "Not to mention that adults helped build the hot spring valley before, but now they come to help us build the archway, and we can't thank you enough."

“It’s just a few fruits. Mr. Zhou and the masters will taste them and praise them more when they return, so we won’t have to worry about selling them.”

Li Laosi and others also smiled and persuaded: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, we will also follow you and taste the fruits we grow. You know, our village chief uncle treats the fruits as eyeballs, and we usually eat them all." We are not allowed to pick it.”

The village chief uncle took the bag under his eyes and pretended to hit Li Laosi. He laughed and cursed, "You brat, you can open your eyes and tell lies! If you don't dare to pick it off, what is Fu Niu'er holding?"

Jiayin was sitting in her mother's arms. The fruit in her hand had been chewed by her, leaving only a skinny core.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, she immediately threw away the core, shook her two chubby hands, and said innocently: "I didn't eat it, Fu Niu'er didn't eat it!"

 Everyone burst into laughter.

“Fu Niu’er, wipe your mouth first, be careful to attract ants!”

Soon, the fruits were picked, and everyone went directly to the river to wash them. Then they found stones on the roadside to sit down, each holding one in his arms, and chatting while eating.

A master craftsman couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the emperor wants to reward the archway of the Feng Shui treasure land. It's so right. This fruit is sweeter than what I have tasted before!"

“Yes, the fruits grown in Feng Shui land are different!”

Everyone praised him, started gossiping, and it was very lively.

Mr. Zhou, however, privately spoke to Mrs. Li, "Madam, when do you plan to start building the princess's mansion?"

The old lady frowned.

There have been too many things going on at home recently, one thing after another, and I haven’t had time to discuss this matter yet.

 After all, the purpose of issuing the imperial edict was to punish those in the Yan family, but it was helpless when something unexpected happened.

 In fact, the family has no shortage of place to live, so the princess's mansion is not in a hurry to be built.

Tao Hongying on the other side also listened to a few words. She didn't think much about it. She just thought that after the princess's mansion was built, her daughter would have to move out.

Doesn’t that mean leaving home and leaving her? !

How can that work?

Therefore, Tao Hongying rarely took the lead and said: "The village will pick fruits soon, and there is still an archway built. It is not easy to build the princess's mansion again. It is better to wait until next year."

The old lady also nodded, "Hongying is right, let's discuss this next year when the spring flowers bloom and the muddy water subsides. The house is not like an archway, there is a lot of work to do, and it cannot be built in a short time."

Jiayin felt her mother's reluctance and panic, so she hugged her mother's neck and sneezed hard.

Tao Hongying immediately stood up and said, "Mom, the wind here is strong, I will take Fu Niu'er back first."

“Go, if the valley is busy, send Fu Niuer to the Marquis’ place to play for a while.” The old lady told her, and Tao Hongying hugged her daughter and left.

Master Zhou asked smoothly: "Is the Marquis in the village?"

The old lady replied: "Yes, Mr. Marquis has been very busy recently, so he just came back to stay for one night."

Lord Zhou thought for a while and said, "If the old lady decides to build the Princess's Mansion next year, it is best to ask the Marquis to come forward and go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to get the money back. In this way, the construction can be started immediately whenever you want to build it."

 The old lady understands.

It seems that the imperial court has moved to Xindu, and money is used everywhere. The household department is stretched thin, so we can hide when we can, and rely on whatever we can...
