Wei Zheng was sitting on the revolving wooden chair. At a casual glance, he discovered that this seemingly lengthy article was actually not complicated at all. It just introduced the British country's supervision system in detail and analyzed it. various advantages.
Among them, there are some similarities with the supervision system of the Tang Dynasty, but if you think about it carefully, it is very perfect.
Wei Zheng suddenly couldn't sit still.
He picked up the paper and walked out, not even hearing Du Ruhui's invitation to stay for tea.
…
That afternoon.
Wei Zheng first went to the palace.
Then I stopped by Dali Temple on my way back.
Then someone discovered that Cheng Chumo had actually come out of Dali Temple.
Early the next morning, Cheng Yaojin personally took Cheng Chumo and brought generous gifts to the Wei Mansion. Someone saw that Lao Cheng was angry when he went in, but his face was red when he came out.
Then news came out one after another that Cheng Yaojin personally came to discuss with Wei Zheng the marriage between Cheng Chumo and Wei Youran, and Wei Zheng actually agreed.
When the news came out, the one who was most hurt was Wei Ting of Dali Temple.
Wei Ting's eldest son, Wei Guangzheng, is seventeen years old. He is of the right age to get married. He is not ugly and can be regarded as a talented person. However, Wei Ting has higher requirements and he does not look down on girls from ordinary families. In addition, Wei Ting is very demanding. Guangzheng and Wei Youran have been in constant contact since childhood, and Wei Ting's aesthetic ability is different from that of ordinary people. Others say that Wei Youran is fat, but he feels that being fat is good for fertility, so he is sure that Wei Youran will become his daughter-in-law. .
Originally, this matter had been discussed with Wei Zheng in private, and they were waiting to choose a good and auspicious day to propose marriage.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Chumo would appear halfway.
This messed up the matter!
When he returned to his house, Wei Ting called Wei Guangzheng over immediately and said in a fierce tone: "You are the traitor. If you hadn't refused and refused, how could Wei Youran and Cheng Chumo get together? It's okay now. Wei Youran is going to marry Cheng Chumo. This matter has been confirmed, and everyone inside and outside the court is watching your father's joke."
Wei Guangzheng was sitting lazily on the chair, but said happily: "Dad, this is a good thing. How many times have I told you that I don't like Wei Youran. If I marry Wei Youran, I might as well go to Pingkangfang I'm looking for a fairy, hehe, now it's better, that big fool Cheng Chumo finally snatched her away, Dad, shouldn't you be happy for me?"
When Wei Ting heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood.
"Sir, get out of here, I don't want to see you again!" Wei Ting was furious and yelled.
…
In the yard of the furniture factory.
Du He was half lying on the revolving wooden chair under the tree, looking relaxed and content.
Beside him were two little maids with distinctive looks fanning him.
The old man stood aside and whispered: "I heard that the day for receiving the lottery has been set. It was Lu Guogong who personally went to Master Li Chunfeng to settle the matter. It seems that Lu Guogong went to Master Yuan Tiangang in the east of the city first, but was kicked out by Yuan Tiangang. Some people say that Yuan Tiangang has been busy refining elixirs recently. Even when His Majesty announced that he would enter the palace, he refused several times before going, and was scolded by His Majesty..."
"Cheng Chumo is not ugly, and he is the eldest son of Duke Lu. When he comes of age, he will definitely be rewarded by His Majesty. He will definitely inherit the family business of Duke Lu's mansion in the future. Everyone says Wei Youran is not worthy. He, Wei Youran, is so fat that when walking on the road, he is equivalent to three Cheng Chumo."
"Ordinarily, this matter is strange. There was a big fuss before. Everyone knows that Mr. Wei Zheng is not easy to mess with, but in the blink of an eye, Mr. Wei actually agreed to this marriage. It is really unpredictable."
"I just heard that the limerick Cheng Chumo recited in the Tai Chi Hall has spread throughout the city, and even three-year-old children can sing it."
The old man, like an old lady, told Du He everything that had happened recently.
Of course, he had no idea that Du He was the driving force behind all this.
As soon as Old Fu finished speaking, several seven or eight-year-old children ran past the door.
"The sea, it's all water!"
"A fine horse, it has four legs."
While chanting loudly, he ran away laughing.
Du He is already a little bit better.
Were the ancients also so fashionable?
The old man said again: "Young master, you said that Cheng Chumo is about to get married. Why is there no news about your marriage to Princess Runan? Do you want me to ask your majesty? Maybe your majesty is too busy recently, so please let me know about this matter." forget."
Du He was a little speechless.
He raised his head, looked at Old Fu, and said, "Old Fu, do you know that there is a long-lived man in the west of the city?"
The old man shook his head.
Du He then said: "This longevity immortal is over a hundred years old this year, but his body is very strong. Even Japanese people come to ask him the secret of longevity. Guess what his secret is?"
The old man thought for a while and asked doubtfully: "Is it because he eats well and sleeps well?"
Du He stretched out his finger, shook it, and said: "No, he lives longer because he meddles less. I advise you, don't meddle too much. Meddling too much will affect your life span."
Lao Fu suddenly felt bad.
While he was talking, a small figure walked in from outside.
Du He turned his head and looked, immediately smiled, pointed at the other person and said: "Boy, your grandfather just paid 500 yuan to redeem you. If you don't stay in Hongwen Hall, why are you coming back?"
The man who walked in was none other than the thin Yan Wentian.
Yan Wentian stepped forward, looked at Du He, and said carefully: "I'm here to report a message."
"What letter should I report?" Du He asked.
Yan Wentian looked at the maids and old man around him, and shook his head.
Du He waved his hand and told Lao Fu and others to leave.
This guy is as big as a brat, but he is also a bit of a ghost. Du He thought to himself.
Of course, he forgot that he was also a fifteen-year-old child, not much older than Yan Wentian.
After everyone around him left, Yan Wencai whispered: "My senior brother Jiang Xian and the others are planning to come to the furniture factory again tomorrow to block the door. There are a lot of people coming this time, so you have to be careful!"
Du He looked at Yan Wentian and asked seriously: "Why did you tell me this news?"
Yan Wentian laughed, showing two small white teeth: "Because you are a good person, you saved me in the heavy rain, but no one took care of me, so I want to help you, and I have a request."
When Du He heard this, he thought to himself, it is true that a child has a good temperament.
Then he asked curiously: "What do you want?"
Yan Wentian said seriously: "I want to learn from Master Dazhu to build a revolving wooden chair. I can already install the revolving wooden chair, but I don't know how to make those parts."
Du He smiled slightly and said: "Kid, didn't your grandfather tell you that these things were all done by the carpenters? As the grandson of the Secretary and Young Supervisor, you only need to study hard and become an official in the court. Why do you want to learn this thing?"
