The people below agreed very much and secretly praised Adjutant Wang's decision.
But because I was frightened by the general before, I didn't dare to quack and make noise underneath again this time, and the ducks rebelled.
This is not possible. If they really lose to Fu Changfeng, will they still have a good life in the future?
Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong looked in crisis, and were about to discuss it with Adjutant Wang. If they couldn't count all of them, then half of them would be fine.
Although they also knew that it was very unlikely that Adjutant Wang would want to bargain.
Unexpectedly, at this time, one of them responded "very naively and simply": "Yes, no problem."
This voice is... Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong both looked at Zheng Quchi with frightened expressions, their faces looking like marmots screaming.
——Ah Qing, my ancestor, how could you agree so readily? !
The other craftsmen in the team also turned their heads mechanically and stared at her in confusion.
——Do you know what you are talking about?
Zheng Quchi said to Wang Zebang: "We agree with Adjutant Wang's proposal."
Wang Zebang heard what she said and glanced at the people on the same team as her.
He thought that the others would definitely object and even rush to scold her for overstepping her authority, but they all just looked at Zheng Quchi in a daze.
She is a small first-class craftsman who is currently serving as a handyman. Logically speaking, she should not even be qualified to speak.
But he was surprised to find that other people were not happy to lose their voting rights in this round, because in this way, their former advantages would directly turn into disadvantages.
But the strange thing is that they just glared at her sadly and made no more protests in public.
Just... she told her, and they had no choice but to accept it.
Wang Zebang suddenly felt incomprehensible.
But since no one objected, Wang Zebang naturally no longer wasted time: "Let's get started."
"Wait a minute." Shi Hetong hurriedly called out.
After being told to stop twice, Wang Zebang immediately lowered his face and said coldly: "Why do you have so many things?"
Zheng Quchi pulled Shi Hetong, who was frightened by Wang Zebang's cold face, and met Wang Zebang's eyes and said: "What he wants to say is that our woodenware is not convenient to display on a high platform, so he would like to apply for a more spacious one." place."
Wang Zebang looked at Zheng Quchi's pair of light brown eyes and lowered his eyes slightly.
Naturally, he did not dare to lose his temper with the general's wife. After all, the general was still watching from behind. The general's high-pressure gaze was slowly cast towards her, with a strong sense of suppression and warning.
When Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong saw that Adjutant Wang had been restrained by Ah Qing, they restrained their fierceness and impatience. Their eyes lit up, and they immediately gained the upper hand with the villain. Usually he quickly hides behind her and lies down.
Ah Qing, you are a god!
Wang Zebang took a deep breath and was about to speak, but he heard Yu Wensheng from the stands behind him smiling and saying: "Okay, Zebang, clear the place for them."
Wang Zebang knew this would be the case.
He was not surprised, turned around and bowed: "Yes."
The other craftsmen looked at each other in confusion, and they all saw the confusion in the other's eyes.
No, General, are you too... partial to this handyman named Ah Qing?
And he personally ordered Adjutant Wang to clear the place for them? !
Originally, she only requested a spacious display area, but once it became a clearing area, it meant that the general had specially cleared away all obstacles and only created a comfortable venue for them to perform.
Isn't this called paying attention? What is this called, is it called the highlight?
Ah, they were all jealous and confused, and even gave Mu Gaoyi and the others a ladder to lift.
The corners of Wei Yao's mouth were sour from smiling, and he raised an eyebrow at Fu Rong, but Fu Rong looked worried, his brows were flat, and he did not laugh or play with him.
Instead, he cooed at Runtu behind him and exchanged glances with each other.
It's over. The general doesn't know what kind of wasteful thing the general's wife has created. She doesn't take any responsibility at all. Now that he has created such a big momentum for his wife, what if the carriage breaks apart or overturns? Isn’t it that you can’t get off the stage?
There are only four words in Runtu's eyes - cold and ruthless - with, me, nothing, and nothing to do with.
Damn, this cold-blooded thing!
Yu Wensheng and the others got off the high platform together. The design of the school field below was square and square. Once the surrounding guards were cleared, as well as the archery targets, training tool racks, etc. on the school field, there was a spacious enough space.
Fu Rong knew that Madam and the others must be planning to show the horse-drawn carriage yesterday in public.
The craftsmen all know it, but if they were a little nervous, expectant and curious before, now they are just bored, ridiculous and ridiculed.
It was obvious that everything failed yesterday. Just that old car, which was heavy, tall, rickety, and made noise as it ran. Today, you still want to show off in front of the general and make a fool of yourself?
They didn't think that the other party could do anything new, they just thought that the other party would not die until they reached the Yellow River.
Seeing that the current position was far away from the general and they were not paying attention to their own side, these mouth-breaking craftsmen became active again.
"Look, we probably showed mercy on what happened yesterday. They are still shameless and plan to embarrass themselves in front of the general. I am standing here now, feeling embarrassed for them."
"There were dozens of them, working for so many days, and they just produced such a pile of waste wood. I really don't know what they were thinking. If they failed, they failed. They have to do it again. What do they want to do?"
"If you don't want to be unwilling, if it were you, you would see such a superb car map and finally made it. Even if it looks glossy but cannot be used in practice, how could you be willing not to show it? However, I will definitely not give it to them. Those who voted, now they can’t vote for themselves, and if they get zero votes in a while, they will be laughed to death.”
"Who is smart enough to vote for their broken car? It is estimated that their broken car will break the minimum score of one vote and become the only exhibit with zero votes, hahaha..."
——
Although Mu Gaoyi and the others could not hear the private exchanges between the other craftsmen, looking at their non-stop chatter, coupled with their obscene and contemptuous expressions, you knew that a dog could not spit out ivory. Definitely not talking nice.
Dozens of handymen were busy cleaning the place for them, and the craftsmen from Mu Gaoyi's side also came to drive the horses and trailers.
And now during this free time, the remaining car-building group had nothing to do, so they glared viciously at the more idle craftsmen opposite.
If looks could kill, they try to tell the other person to shut up with their looks.
Zheng Quchi also wanted to avoid a certain line of sight, so she approached Mu Gaoyi and the others and followed their line of sight. She asked, "Do you know what they are talking about?"
Mu Gaoyi snorted: "I don't want to know."
Shi Hetong frowned and said sullenly: "Who cares about them? Just say what you say. Are you still afraid of them?"
Zheng Quchi chuckled. Her eyes were like the brightest stars. The darker the night, the more brilliant they became.
"Believe me, they are spitting fragrant feces at us now, but we can definitely ask them to put the spit back into their mouths with our own hands... and swallow it."
Seeing that she was so confident and the words she used really hit their sweet spot, after everyone listened, their previously aggrieved and indignant expressions couldn't help but relax a lot, and they started laughing.
Although their hearts were still heavy, at least they had the courage to face it.
Shi Hetong didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Is it really possible?"
Zheng Quchi met his eyes, without moving away, and only replied: "I can appear here, don't you still understand the answer?"
He looked at her blankly, the grayness in his eyes jumping like stars. Although there was no light that would turn a prairie fire into a galaxy, there was hope after all.
"Okay, we get it!"
"Come on, it depends on whether the front is glory or hell!" Mu Gaoyi's middle soul also burned.
Shi Hetong said disgustedly: "Shut up."
The others burst into laughter.
——
The craftsmen on the opposite side noticed the change in the expressions of the car builders and didn't know why.
"Why didn't you stare at us? Instead, you laughed to yourself?"
"Silly or crazy?"
"I feel like you suddenly figured it out and don't want to talk to us anymore?"
When they said this, they were not happy: "Hey, it sounds like we are willing to fight them forever."
——
"What did Madam say to them? These faces filled with bitterness and hatred suddenly felt relieved?" Fu Rong was so curious that he scratched his heart and lungs.
Wei Yao felt the same as him: "That's it, it's a pity that we are far away and can't hear it. It must be something very interesting."
"Being curious about everything will only harm you!" Wang Zebang sneered.
But Yu Wensheng knew lip language, and he clearly understood every word she said. Therefore, he smiled particularly warmly and pleasantly, but his dangerous red eyes flashed across Mu Gaoyi who was close to her. Others, some thoughts have slipped.
It's only been a few days and she's already so close to others?
She can obviously get to know others so quickly, chatting and laughing without restraint. Could it be that in her mind, he is the most special one? Otherwise, why would she treat him differently?
"Don't you think it's strange?" Wang Zebang suddenly asked.
"What's weird?" Fu Rong and Wei Yao asked at the same time.
Wang Zebang didn't know what to say. He glanced at the general's back with concern and whispered: "Madam has only been to the craftsman corps for a few days, but those people seem to be following her lead..."
"Oh, this, what's so strange about this?" After hearing this, Wei Yao said disapprovingly: "Didn't Madam also lead all the masons to complete the city wall fortifications in Guixuanling before? How many people are there? They fell into her hands. Here, he will be treated docilely in a short time."
Wang Zebang wanted to say, can this be the same?
Are ordinary craftsmen and arrogant craftsmen the same?
But when I think about it, it actually counts the same.
Back then, Zheng Quchi was just an ordinary craftsman with no rank. She could make those people surrender happily, so why can't she do it now?
Looking at the lady opposite who was chatting and laughing with the craftsmen, he suddenly asked himself, had he been looking at her with too narrow a vision?
If she hadn't been sent by the Mo family, if she hadn't come from a poor peasant family, if she had good manners, if she hadn't had all the misunderstandings in the past...
He remembered the first time he and she talked alone in the tent. He couldn't deny that talking to her was quite relaxed and comfortable. Later, he saw her bravery when she risked her own life to save others, and he also saw her perseverance and perseverance. Lift the heavy burdens and lift the beams to build the city wall...
He thought that if there was no previous relationship, maybe he would appreciate and praise such a woman.
"Perhaps, my eyesight is not as good as yours." He suddenly said to Wei Yao.
Seeing his complicated expression, Wei Yao smiled and said, "In terms of eyesight, I'm not as good as Fu Rong. Look at him. When we come back this time, haven't you noticed that he seems to treat his wife differently?"
Wang Zebang looked aside and saw that Fu Rong was indeed paying special attention to his wife's affairs. In the past, he had always shown respect and only maintained a superficial appearance, but he did not have such enthusiasm now.
"I understand."
Sometimes, one person can make mistakes, and two people can make mistakes, but if everyone can see the advantages in the other person and change, shouldn't he be too stubborn?
——
The school ground was cleared out soon after, and everyone present stood in their respective positions. An unpopular display was noticed in the most solemn way.
Is it ironic or ridiculous?
Maybe... it can make them shocked?
Zheng Quchi saw that the carriage was approaching, but the horse carriage was no longer covered with the oilcloth before, but a piece of...
Uh, isn't this the curtain cloth? Why was it used to cover the carriage?
I saw a small mountain like a tall car body, which was pulled tremblingly by two old horses and appeared in front of everyone. It had not yet revealed its true appearance in Lushan, but at first glance it gave people the impression of being bulky and rough.
Wang Zebang glanced at it intently, without any unnecessary expression, and just asked: "What is this?"
The atmosphere seemed to be stagnant for a moment, but it broke again in an instant.
"Pfft, hahaha... Did you see that their carriage has a new fig leaf? The previous one is probably not enough."
Some craftsmen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You think this will make a difference?"
In full view of the crowd, there were different looks, mocking glances, and unkind words... Mu Gaoyi did not come forward this time. He was somewhat flinching from the scene in front of him: "Aqing..."
Although his words were not fully expressed, Zheng Quchi understood what he meant.
He was not confident enough to stand in front of the general and the craftsman and introduce the car, so he wanted to leave this matter to her and let her do it.
"Wait."
Zheng Quchi patted his shoulder and walked past him.
She walked from the group to the carriage, and then stood in front of everyone with her back straight.
Before, she was embarrassed and uncomfortable in front of others. She would rather stand at the far side.
But now, she took her car and stood in everyone's sight, but she was not afraid of anyone's words or eyes.
She answered Wang Zebang's question: "This is a carriage that I created together with thirty-three craftsmen. It has not been officially named yet. Let me call it Panlong for the time being."
Wang Zebang savored the name and asked again: "Are we going to start?"
"yes."
Zheng Quchi walked at the back of the car, holding the cloth covering the car tightly with one hand. Her calm eyes swept across everyone's faces and said: "The carriage is coiled, please appreciate it together. We are happy to accept anyone's criticism." and guidance.”
With a "swish" sound, the cloth covering the carriage was pulled and slid down——
