Qi wang ye, wang fei, she is crazy again

Chapter 222 Mr. Shen said he hurt his eyes

In the early morning of the next day, there was a nervous atmosphere in the palace. Looking at the pens, inks, papers and inkstones that had been set up, the servants who were a little too nervous wished they could faint.

A steward said: "Come on, everyone, think about what it's like for a scholar to enter the examination room. What are we?"

The servants said weakly, "We are not scholars, and we don't know how to hold a pen."

"What are you nervous about? Even if it doesn't work, I won't punish you."

When these people saw Mr. Shen coming, their hearts were already in their throats. Mr. Shen looked up at the sky, "What are you waiting for, go in and sit down."

"It's just a silent book today, and I don't ask you to write articles, why are you nervous?"

The servants of the first class of exams dragged their heavy steps and walked in one by one as if they were going to the execution ground. Those who watched the excitement behind were even more nervous.

Wen Mianmian delivered a speech in person, calling this the first talent competition in Annan Palace, the winner will be the talent of the palace in the next year, the appearance, so they must test their demeanor, test their level, and go all out.

The nervous servants felt less nervous, and began to think about being the face of the palace, and they would be prestige when they said it.

As soon as the time came, Mr. Shen announced the content to be silently written today, and the exam officially started.

As the initiator of this exam, Wen Mianmian and Hua Jingyun left the palace after admiring it for a while, and they had to go to the Ministry of Industry to check the files.

Mr. Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who had just returned to the yamen, received the two in person, and took the time to look through the files to offer his opinion: "The new streets involve all aspects, and the drainage is the first. Some streets in Kyoto are being It’s because it was not considered perfect at the beginning, and the open ditch drainage used now is not only easy to be blocked, but also has become a place for people to dump waste water, which is difficult to clean and unsightly.”

"Since the new streets need to be paved with stone slabs, drainage is more important. If the later maintenance is not timely, it is recommended to combine underground channels and open channels."

Wen Mianmian nodded in agreement, "What Master Wei said is very true, we have already thought of this situation and are planning to drain the water into the river according to the terrain, but the final blueprint has not yet been released, and the final drainage layout map has not yet been released. "

"There is a shortage of high-level people in hand."

Mr. Wei rubbed his hands, and said tentatively, "When it comes to drainage, I have someone who can recommend it, but I don't know if the princess can take a fancy to it?"

Wen Mianmian took a step back and cupped his hands, "We are in short supply of such people, and it is naturally desirable for Mr. Wei to recommend him. I wonder who is an expert?"

Master Wei was a little embarrassed, and laughed twice, "That man is my old man."

Mr. Wei's father, the previous Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was in charge of the construction of several streets in Kyoto, and he can be said to be the most experienced person in Kyoto.

"When my old man took office, he deeply regretted the unreasonable layout of the existing drainage in Kyoto. He also actively tried to re-arrange the drainage. However, the resistance was too great, and he couldn't get it when he stepped down."

"Although he has been raised at home these years, he has never rested. He has been concentrating on the urban drainage layout. Now he has found out how to build a large drainage ditch with bricks on the top, bricks to spread water, seepage wells, and how to burn paper drainage pipes, etc. , I have always been interested in the matter of Yanzi Lane after hearing about it, but told me several times, telling me to mention him to the prince."

His old man's original words were, 'You bastard is useless, if you don't dare to mention it, the old man will recommend himself. '

He didn't dare to be this unfilial son, and he didn't dare to let his old man come forward to beg in person, "To tell you the truth, my father has already visited Yanzi Lane several times, and he is very concerned about this matter."

Hua Jingyun said: "I remember that Zhenbao Street was built by Master Wei."

"Exactly."

Lord Wei cupped his hands, "Zhenbao Street was the last time my father presided over the new street before he became an official. Due to the terrain and some remaining problems, it did not achieve his ideal result."

Wen Mianmian, a layman, can't help but hear it in a cloud. What kind of brick-roofed drainage ditch and fired drainage pipes sound very advanced, and Mr. Wei still has experience, and he sums up his own experience again and again, yes, good!
Then Lord Wei boasted about his old man brazenly, and finally asked anxiously: "I don't know if the lord and princess think my old man can do it?"

"If it is possible, when the prince and concubine are free, my old man will come to the door and explain his method in detail for the reference of the prince and concubine."

Wen Mianmian waved his hand quickly, "Since we are inviting someone, it is natural that it is appropriate to visit Boss Wei in person."

"We won't bother Mr. Boss as the new year is approaching. I will visit the door personally when the year comes."

The main reason is that I couldn't do much before this year, and everyone was busy.

Lord Wei heaved a sigh of relief, smiling all over his face, "Thank you, my lord and concubine."

Wen Mianmian did not show her big white teeth in a smile, but nodded very politely. Then, under the introduction of Mr. Wei, the husband and wife opened the file again. Every time Mr. Wei saw it, he could explain everything in detail. , including the analysis of this person's strengths and weaknesses, it can be seen that he worked very hard to successfully give his father a chance.

The two had a fruitful trip. On the way back home, Wen Mianmian asked about Mr. Wei, and Hua Jingyun also gave a positive evaluation, saying: "The original layout of the capital city is not reasonable. The drainage layout is even more problematic. It took several ministers of the Ministry of Industry to rectify it to the current situation, and it would be a big deal if it were to be changed again, and the cost would be quite high, so there has been no conclusion."

Wen Mianmian had a clue in her mind, so she didn't agree to Master Wei just now because she wanted to know more, "In that case, let's invite Master Wei sometime."

It was just noon after returning to the mansion, and the exams in the mansion had already ended, and the servants seemed to lose their vitality suddenly, and they were very anxious.

Lingguo shrank his neck and stepped forward, "Mr. Shen said he hurt his eyes, and he will come back to find the girl later today."

"Mr. Shen hurt his eyes?" Wen Mianmian quickly understood, and then smiled happily, "I thought Mr. Shen was really invulnerable to all poisons."

Maybe he was too happy, maybe he was anxious to see Mr. Shen's joke, and went to find Mr. Shen without taking a break after lunch. At this moment, Mr. Shen's eyes fell on the paper, and his brows were tightly frowned.

Wen Mianmian laughed when she saw him, "Sir, I heard your eye was injured?"

Mr. Shen had a look of resentment in his eyes, "The ancients said: guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

He thought, these servants are flexible in their daily work, even if their handwriting is not good, where can it be difficult to see?

"I'm being arrogant."
