Two days later, the craftsmen of Qufu had not yet arrived, but the people sent to greet them had already sent back the news, saying that they had missed the itinerary in the rain on the road, and they would arrive at the latest, not that the road was not quiet and was robbed, Mrs.
Chengbi and Qingji received the news, and their hearts were determined, at this time the recruited workers were ready, and they could not be allowed to gather in the mansion for idle dinner, so Qingji took these people to the Flying Fox Valley outside the north gate of Philadelphia, and set up camp directly in the mountains.
Since the craftsmen had not yet arrived, and the specific plans for the new city were uncertain, Qingji only asked them to level the valley where it was going to be used for camps and training grounds, cut down trees, clear weeds, level the land, and build temporary houses.
These little things can be done without the need for skilled craftsmen, and the workers who have been recruited can do them, and in just one day's work, these basic works are done, and the second day is to cut down more timber for the construction of the city.
Although the country of Lu is a weak country militarily, it is a place where the Chinese of the countries is quite developed, and there are many skilled craftsmen, especially good at carpentry, and most of the ordinary people of the country of Lu also know carpentry skills, these people apply for jobs on the mountain, knowing that the work is to build a city, and logging and sawing is indispensable, so they all bring tools such as axes and saws, and the preliminary preparations for cutting wood and beams are well organized.
Qingji carefully looked at the saws used by those workers, the saw is a bronze saw, and the hand-sawed of later generations looks roughly the same, at this time Lu Ban was not born, this saw was not invented by Lu Ban, Qing Ji remembered the sawgrass in the Chinese textbook when he was a child, so Lu Ban invented the story of the saw, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Among the hired workers were many able-bodied women, who were as hard-working as the men, and who were more docile and manageable.
For women, Qingji always has some care intentions, so he doesn't want them to do some heavy work of cutting trees and digging ditches.
There are about 100 of those women, most of them are young women, they are said to be healthy women, but they are physically strong, not like men, and there is no lack of handsome and outstanding people in their figures, which has become an eye-catching scenery in the construction team.
Those men were doing their work, and from time to time they would look at them, and say a few meat jokes, and Qing Ji saw it in his eyes, fearing that someone had other thoughts, so he specially asked people to build the wooden houses built separately for men and women across the lake in the valley, and built a row of houses at the end of the small lake near the mountain forest to separate the male and female wooden houses, and the houses in that row were inhabited by the servants of the Chengfu, and they were in the middle, and if there were those with bad intentions, they had to weigh and weigh.
Qingji was busy on the construction site, and Mrs.
Chengbi was sitting on a flat wooden platform resting by the lake, and her beautiful eyes kept spinning with Qingji for a moment.
To say that this woman, whether she is reserved and reserved, or cold as frost, once she is emotional, she is as passionate as fire.
Since the previous year, a happy meeting by the pond outside the effect opened a new page between the two, and the two Mrs.
Chengbi were quite obsessed with him.
Every night, Qingji certainly wants to show his outstanding skills and pretend to be a silver thief who steals incense and jade, but in vain, Cheng Bi is reluctant to let him out of his sight.
That enthusiastic drama made Qingji a little unbearable.
This command of the construction of the city was originally done with the big steward of Qingji, but Cheng Bi rushed to Flying Fox Valley to supervise the construction on the grounds that he could not rest assured, but she didn't ask about serious things, but her hot eyes were not away from Qingji for a moment, where was she really focused on building the city.
In fact, Mrs.
Chengbi is a very smart woman, how do she not know that she is just a person who has just sprouted love, and her demeanor is always a little strange, not to mention that she can't help but be bitter and happy since she was a child, until she is nearly thirty years old, when a flower is in full bloom, it is not utilitarian, regardless of fame, and she really likes someone.
Although she intends to restrain herself, how can her demeanor not show flaws, ordinary workers will not pay attention to these, and in the eyes of those who have a heart, you can see the clues.
The cronies and family members of Chengfu did not need to mention it, and the fictitious affair between Cheng Bi and the big steward of Yang had already been privately spread by them, and they only couldn't do it at this time.
But Xiao Ai, who disguised herself and mixed into the workers, had a preconceived idea of her relationship with Qingji, and then looked at it at this time, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the rumors were true, the more she looked at it, the more she hated, Mrs.
Cheng Bi looked at the "Yang Steward" with affection, Xiao Ai's eyes with deep hatred only stared at her, if she didn't want Cheng Bi's hard-earned wealth and status to be in vain, and she would end up with a miserable end that was worse than death to relieve her hatred, Xiao Ai would rush over now and kill Mrs.
Cheng Bi.
"Yingtao, the craftsmen haven't arrived yet, but you can let them cut down some wood and make mud and tiles first, and then go to other places to pick some stones for backup, and prepare the materials as much as possible, so that when the craftsmen arrive, the progress can be much faster."
In front of others, Ying Tao didn't dare to call himself a son, so he said: "Don't worry, the chief steward, leave this matter to me."
Yingtao responded and hurriedly walked towards the group of workers.
At this time, Xiao Jin, the second steward of Chengfu, climbed up from the mouth of the valley and hurriedly walked to this side.
Qingji greeted him and asked, "Steward Xiao, aren't you the presiding officer of the government to continue to recruit workers, what's the matter with coming in a hurry?"
Xiao Jin said excitedly: "Chief steward, the craftsmen from the uncle's mansion have arrived, when I arrived, they sent people and horses into the city to report the news, and the team of men and horses is still thirty miles away from the city." ” "Oh" Qingji rejoiced: "So fast, doesn't it mean that it has just arrived?"
Xiao Jin said with a smile: "Yes, they have a lot of cars and horses, and there is heavy rain on the road, so the trip was delayed, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow, but on the way, Miss Uncle Sun urged them to hurry up, and they arrived a day in advance." ” Qing Ji said: "It was Miss Uncle Sun who personally escorted the team."
"Yes", Steward Xiao glanced at him strangely and wondered, "Is there something wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing", Qing Ji settled down and quickly regained his expression.
At this time, Mrs.
Cheng Bi Shi Shiran came over and asked, "What's wrong" said to Steward Xiao in her mouth, but her wonderful eyes couldn't help but glance at Qingji.
Qingji said: "The craftsmen of the Shusun Mansion have already arrived, and when Steward Xiao arrived, they were still thirty miles away from the city. ” Steward Xiao said: "Moreover, the eldest lady of the uncle's family also came with the car, and she hurried to report to Mrs. as a villain." ” A strange look flashed on Mrs.
Chengbi's face, she glanced at Qingji, and said, "Thirty miles away from the city, since Miss Uncle Sun personally escorted the car, if you don't greet each other, you will lose your etiquette."
But Mrs.
Ben was weak, so she went down the mountain to board the car, and then trekked back to the city, I was afraid that it would be too late to go outside the city to meet her, and Yang was in charge. ” "Humble," Qingji hurriedly stepped forward.
Mrs.
Cheng Bi said lightly: "You go to Mrs.
Daiben to welcome Miss Uncle Sun into the city, and I will arrive later." ” Qingji was stunned for a moment, and just answered, Mrs.
Cheng Bi looked at him, stared at a corner of the green mountain, and said: "Take my car, I can't greet her in person, if the car is no more shabby, I'm afraid that Miss Uncle Sun will lose her temper." ” "Yes, go with me."
Qingji clenched his fists, took two steps back, turned around and left.

Qingji thought all the way, how could Mrs.
Cheng Bi's tone and demeanor be so strange, thinking about it, his heart suddenly shook: "Oops, for such a thing as transporting craftsmen to Philadelphia, there is no need to labor the eldest lady of the uncle and grandson's family, but Shaoguang is here."
At the beginning, Shaoguang was waiting for my stand-in in front of the couch, with a sad expression, I couldn't help myself, with Mrs.
Chengbi's shrewdness, how could I not see the problem.
Could it be that I had already guessed that I was in love with Shaoguang, if it weren't for that, how could she show such a strange look on her face, and excuse herself to avoid it, so that she could meet Shaoguang Thinking of this, Qingji felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't turn around and ask her face to face, so he had to pretend to be confused and strode down the mountain.
In fact, lonely men and widows, if they are happy with each other and have a good feeling, then it is easy to develop further relationships, especially when Cheng Bi is in the prime of physical and mental maturity, and men in this era, climbing flowers and folding willows is a free thing, and there is no moral condemnation, so love comes naturally.
But although his original consciousness restrained his behavior, although it was weakened by the instinctive temptation of men, in such an age when his behavior would have been indulged, it still had a strong emotional influence.
However, to put it mildly, in his heart, until this moment, his favorite is Mrs.
Cheng Bi.
Uncle Sun Shaoguang is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and he is reckless, Qingji is not unmoved, nor does he dislike, but he and Uncle Sun Shaoguang are never able to combine, until now, although because of the agreement with Uncle Sun Yu, the two parties have made a marriage contract, and Na Ji said that it was also after his return to the country.
If the recovery is not successful, and you die on the battlefield, then naturally everything is not tied.
This kind of agreement is, firstly, a concession that must be made in order for Shusun Yu to accept it.
Second, Qingji's approach to Miss Shaoguang at the beginning, although it was not only love, but also a utilitarian heart, but when he understood his uncle and grandson Shaoguang's affection for him, he refused to selfishly let Shaoguang fall too deep emotionally, if it was really a big deal, he didn't want to miss such a good girl as his uncle and grandson Shaoguang.
At that time, when a woman remarried, there was no loss in her reputation, but with the strong surname of her uncle and grandson, if she was too affectionate for him, she didn't know how long she would be sad, so Qingji had a feeling of wanting to get close to her and wanting to escape from her, and with such pressure and concerns, how could he let go Mrs.
Cheng Bi is different, they are actually the same age, words and deeds are more tacit, their cooperation does not need marriage to be guaranteed, and there is no need for other relationships to stabilize, the affection between him and Cheng Bi is natural, and there is no need to restrain the worries of Uncle Sun Shaoguang, let alone have a utilitarian agreement with Uncle Sun Yu, so it is more relaxed to be with her.
Qingji walked out of the valley, then stopped all the thoughts, got into Mrs.
Chengbi's car, and ordered people to speed back to the city.
From the valley mouth to the avenue, a road has been simply cleared, although the car is bumpy, but not serious, when the car turns onto the main road will be stabilized.
Qingji was bored in the car, so he lifted the curtains, looked at the grass and trees outside, but he didn't know where he flew.
At that time, the country road was not very wide, and when the two cars staggered, Keito's car had a long axle, so in order to avoid scratching, Mite drove the car to the side of the road, and the speed slowed down.
Qingji didn't care, he just wanted to retract his head, his eyes swept away, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of something strange, and couldn't help shouting: "Be careful, speed up" The emperor in front of him has limited adaptability, and his reaction is not agile enough, and when he heard Qingji's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in amazement: "Big steward, what do you say?"
At this moment, the car that had been intertwined suddenly stopped, and the farmer who was leading the donkey turned the car sideways, blocking their way of retreat, and the car in front of him was also crossing the road at the same time, and the side car was already billowing smoke, and the farmer who was moving with the car pulled out a fork from the car, and picked up the bundles of burning firewood and grass, and several knights who were guarding the car were taken by surprise, and after the men shouted that the horses were neighing for a while, they jumped off their horses and drew their swords to meet them.
Except for the firewood and grass on the two cars, the other firewood trucks were not on fire, but from the firewood and grass came out of the many big men, holding long and short blades, shouting and rushing up, the target was Qingji's car.
Qingji raised his sword eyebrows, raised his legs and was about to rush out, his hand had touched the sedan curtain, and his heart was suddenly alert, he hurriedly took out a bag from his arms, and took out a mustache made of pig bristles, which was made by the skilled craftsmen in the Chengfu when he went to Cangxia Ridge with Kong Qiu last time, Qingji knew that Zhan Yuan's thieves' nest was in Mengshan, so he left this fake beard on his body in case of emergency, and he just used it at this time.
He pressed the still sticky leather under his chin, kicked open the car door, and jumped out.
Outside the car, several generals and this group of robbers who suddenly killed have been fighting together, the enemy is prepared, and there are many people in this narrow place, several generals have fallen under the haste, at this moment, Qingji jumped out of the car, like a vibrant black panther, the body of a bow and a vertical, the sword under the rib is like a long rainbow through the sky, lightning stabbed towards a big man dancing a copper fork.
