"Oh?" Zheng Quchi was amused, and then said: "If you can't answer today, I will report to His Highness the Crown Prince truthfully, remove you from the post of official craftsman, and send you back to the country. You can go do whatever you want."
"What a strong tone. You care about heaven and earth but you can't control us. Without us, your Ye country won't even be able to repair the burned-out Zichen Palace, let alone the Canngling Weir!" Nan Lin The people in the garden are very arrogant, and they are pretentious when they open their mouths.
The people in Hualin Garden couldn't hear it, so they hurriedly defended Zheng Quchi and said back: "You guys are so loud! Why do you have it? What works have you built over the years that are worthy of boasting? You can't do anything. Just like the rest of us, we repair what is broken and mend what is missing, but we are still talking about it without any shame."
This eloquence is quite good. Zheng Quchi turned around in appreciation.
I saw a tall, thin, but somewhat hunchbacked young man emerging among a group of middle-aged people.
He stood among the people in Hualin Garden with bulging eyes. Although his ordinary facial features were inconspicuous, he was a little more showy and energetic than those who didn't know how to argue and quarrel.
Just as the two sides were arguing, a figure slowly stepped in. As soon as he came in, he touched the long beard beside his mouth and shouted in a long tone: "Why are you making such a fuss? It's you who are making trouble in Nanlin Garden." Where is the trouble going?"
Zheng Quchi frowned slightly, and when he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man with a fat figure and a square face walking in. The hair on his head was thick, and the beard on his lips was also curly and curled. At first glance, Zheng Quchi thought I saw Afanti who had gained weight.
"Come here, it's Chen Daohao." Someone in Hualin Garden curled his lips.
Sure enough, he was from Qiuchi, and he looked a bit like Hamu, but his name was different. Instead, he looked like an out-and-out Central Plains person.
"Mr. Chen, you're here. Hey, this is the man who came here with the people from Hualin Garden to cause trouble." The people from Nanlin Garden immediately stepped forward to complain.
Chen Daohao looked at Zheng Quchi a few times, especially on his official uniform for a moment, and then said calmly: "Who are you?"
Chen Daohao's tone has an indescribable awkwardness, which is normal. I heard that Qiuci dialect is different from Central Plains dialect. Although he speaks Central Plains dialect, he still cannot avoid bringing in the unique accent of his country.
Zheng Quchi thought that it was time to reveal her identity, and she said: "I am——"
"It doesn't matter who you are." Chen Daohao directly interrupted her "casting". He looked at the people in Hualin Garden and said with a proud face: "It's useless for you to ask anyone to come. The project of Canngling Weir is... After discussing with me, the two young craftsmen who will serve as supervisors have decided to kick you out of Hualin Garden. You can just go about building the dormitory hall with peace of mind. How can you participate in such a major project with your level? Already?"
When the people in Hualin Garden heard this, they immediately became excited: "You have gone too far! Why did you kick us out? What did we do wrong?"
Chen Daohao touched his beard, raised his chin and said: "I blame your newly appointed chief craftsman. She gave you a thankless job as soon as she came here, which made others think that you are doing more than you want. If you don’t have enough energy to do two things at once, you might as well just stop doing it.”
No, can this also involve her? They, Nanlinyuan, were clearly planning to drive a wedge between her and Hualinyuan, causing a gap between their superiors and subordinates.
The fire in Zheng Quchi's heart suddenly came to her eyes. She slapped her hand on the table, making everyone jump.
"You are sick, why are you banging the table for no reason!"
"Ha." Zheng Quchi sneered, looked at them and said, "You say I have no ability, and you also say I'm sick, right? Are all of you people in Nanlin Garden so disrespectful and insulting your superiors?"
At this time, everyone in Nanlin Garden looked like she was seriously ill: "When did Mr. Chen say that you have no ability? He is saying-"
Their retorts stopped abruptly, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in their hearts.
However, Chen Daohao thought about the situation and realized what was happening. He opened his mouth wide and said, "Are you the newly appointed Master Craftsman Zheng Quchi?!"
Nanlinyuan and Hualinyuan were frightened by Chen Daohao's conclusion. They all looked at Zheng Quchi, their eyes widened, waiting for her answer.
Zheng Quchi slowly took out the fish charm from his waist and waved it in front of their eyes: "Do you recognize this?"
Then he took out her appointment letter and showed it: "Do you recognize this?"
They quickly came over and took a look. The letter of appointment was genuine. The fish talisman plus the official rank were combined with the rumors that the newly appointed Master Craftsman was a woman. The boy-female look in front of them, no, she was clearly a woman, so Everything corresponds.
"I've met Mr. Zheng."
The people in Hualin Garden felt their scalps bursting, and they quickly came forward to greet him and introduce themselves.
"My subordinate is Liang Tian, who will be the Yuan Cheng of Hua Lin Garden."
"My subordinate, Hua Duo, will serve as the chief supervisor of Hua Linyuan."
"My subordinate Jiang Yuan will be the chief administrator of Hua Lin Garden."
"Subordinate..."
After they all paid their respects, Zheng Quchi said: "Zheng Quchi, the new master craftsman who will be the supervisor, although this is the first time I have met you, I have to say that I am really impressed."
Her ridiculing words immediately made everyone in Nanlinyuan look ugly. Unexpectedly, when they started to talk nonsense, they directly hit the muzzle. Although in private they could arrange their discussion however they wanted, but on the surface she He is their immediate superior, and no matter how hard he tries to break up his reputation, it will do them no good.
"Misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding."
Their attitudes immediately changed: "I was just provoked by the people in Hualin Garden to say such nonsense. Please don't believe it, Mr. Zheng."
Chen Daohao didn't know what they said, but it didn't matter what they said. Now the people of Ye State still have to rely on their skills, verbally joking and arguing. Not a crime.
He also smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Zheng to be so diligent and take office today. I am disrespectful and respectful to the subordinates."
They tried hard to maintain a harmonious relationship on the surface, but Zheng Quchi had no intention of maintaining this false superior-subordinate relationship with them. She said: "No need, I'm useless, and I'm just a peasant woman from the country. I rely on showing off my coquettishness." How dare you ask big shots like you to greet the official position obtained by flattering the prince?"
When the people in Hualin Garden heard Master Zheng's self-deprecation, their brains suddenly exploded. They finally remembered what they said when they complained before. Master Zheng must have remembered them all.
The people in Nanlinyuan looked guilty and at a loss. They didn't expect that she had caught wind of the fabricated remarks about the supervisor's dissatisfaction not long ago.
They were a little nervous at first, fearing that she would settle the score when she came, but then they thought about it, wasn't the previous great craftsman also killed by them? How hard would it be to get rid of another one? As a result, their courage became stronger again.
"Master Zheng is joking." Chen Daohao smiled perfunctorily.
Looking at the faces of these people in Nanlinyuan, to be honest, Zheng Quchi's original thoughts had changed, and she did not intend to have a verbal dispute with them anymore.
"Master Chen just said that your Nanlin Garden plans to take over the Canngling Weir project, right?"
"Yes, Nanlinyuan is almost the most capable craftsman in the whole general, so there will be no problem for me and them to supervise the construction." Chen Daohao said with a smile.
"No problem? But they haven't answered me the three questions I asked before. Why don't you, the young craftsman who strongly recommended Nanlin Garden, answer them."
"Oh, I wonder which three questions they are?"
"I won't repeat the question again. You can tell Mr. Chen personally."
Seeing that Zheng Quchi's new official took office, he had to suppress them. The people in Nanlinyuan had no choice but to repeat it in Chen Daohao's ears.
After hearing this, Chen Daohao realized that this Master Zheng was not a layman, at least she had some abilities. However, she couldn't figure out how deep she was. However, based on her age, she was probably not very capable. Where to go.
"These three questions are not difficult, but they have just taken over. They still need time to go on site to check for hidden dangers and make measurements. The specific answers will be presented to Mr. Zheng later." Chen Daohao is responsible for Nanlinyuan. thing.
Zheng Quchi wanted this answer. She nodded: "Then I will be patient and wait for the good news. In addition, His Highness personally handed over the reconstruction of Zichen Palace and Kunning Palace to me. If you have any objections to this, You can go to His Highness the Crown Prince for an explanation, but I don’t want to hear any more baseless rumors, especially those coming from your Nanlin Garden, is that clear?"
"Natural, natural."
After ringing the alarm for the people in Nanlin Garden, Zheng Quchi stopped entangled with them. She had other plans in her heart, so she led the Hualin Garden people back.
They lowered their heads and followed him on the road without saying a word. There was an inexplicable feeling of embarrassment and discomfort spreading over them.
"You don't have to worry about Canngling Dayan. Those people in Nanlinyuan can't pass the test at all. Sooner or later, I will take back this project and seek justice for you."
Hualinyuan was immediately shocked: "..." This is not necessary.
If those people in Nanlinyuan can't pass the test, I'm afraid it will be even harder for them to take the lead alone.
Zheng Quchi thought they were disappointed that they failed to teach Nanlin Garden a lesson this time and vented their anger. She added: "As for the major projects in Shengjing and the palace in the future, they will never get involved. The construction of us Ye people is naturally made by We Ye people can do it ourselves, we don’t need people like them who look down on us and come here to dig for gold.”
Everyone in Hualin Garden was breaking out in cold sweat.
They thought to themselves, Master Zheng, why don't you think about it, why did Ye State spend a lot of money to hire these foreign craftsmen?
Zheng Quchi was surprised that they remained silent. When he turned around, he saw that each of them looked embarrassed. They wanted to speak but seemed to be concerned about it and couldn't open their mouths.
"Can you tell me what you think directly? Do you want to directly ban Nanlin Garden and kick them out of the general prison?" (End of Chapter)
