"It doesn't matter." Aunt Tian is diligent and conscientious in helping people diagnose diseases for the sake of the county master's reputation. She also wants to find something to do for herself. She can't just be a freeloader next to the county master every day after she comes back.
Grandma Chen understood what she was thinking and let her go. She came over to help when she was free, and she could share a little bit with her.
Serving is a master, and the goal is to provide for them in old age; they know better than anyone else that only when the master is good can they be good. Naturally, there will be no talk of infighting. They help each other when necessary, which is more comfortable and dignified than in the palace.
Half a month later, the convoy escorting the cement arrived belatedly.
After receiving the news, Xiao Maidong immediately went to the city gate to respond. The convoy of more than 20 carriages was particularly spectacular.
They followed the people into the city, and Xiao Maidong was waiting in the city. The leader of the cement convoy escorted the city guards and walked up to the city guards and took out the Ji family brand.
"We are coming from the capital, please let us go."
"What are you escorting?" The city defender did not let them go immediately. Instead, he stretched his head and looked behind the passers-by, "So many convoys."
The leader said: "We, the guards of the Ji family, are escorting the cement ordered by the Lord of Zhaoyang County to be delivered to Xianyun County. You can check it, but do not destroy the bag, otherwise, our cement will spill."
"Lord of Zhaoyang County?!"
"Yes, Lord Zhaoyang."
The city defender was shocked and asked, "What is cement?"
The leader was silent. The officers and soldiers guarding the city felt that this look was expressing a meaning to them. They were a bunch of country bumpkins who didn't even know what cement was.
Guardsmen: Their fists are strong, but they dare not take action.
"Brother Guards, look, none of us have been to the capital. It's reasonable not to know what cement is, right? What's the use of bringing so many things here?" The chief of Zhaoyang County will never It's a useless thing.
The leader nodded, "Cement is used to build roads."
"Building roads?" Full of doubts, the city guards let them pass, but all kinds of doubts arose in their minds. Did they transport cement all the way back from the capital just to build roads? By the way, he still didn’t understand what cement was and didn’t even take a look at it. He regretted it!
Xiao Maidong saw the leader and hurriedly greeted him, "This elder brother of the guard, I am the son of the housekeeper of Zhaoyang County. My name is Maidong."
"Hello Brother Maidong, we have delivered the main cement in Zhaoyang County. I don't know where to send it? After confirming the location, we have to rush back to the capital to deliver the work."
"I have to ask you to help deliver it to the county head's family."
"That's right, let's leave now."
Xiao Maidong led the leader, and escorted more than 20 carriages into the city behind him; the procession of more than 20 carriages was so spectacular that the people stopped to watch, and even some at home stretched out their heads to take a look.
The people even started talking about it.
"Where did these people come from? With so many carriages."
"I don't know. It looks like he's not from our Xianyun County; he must be from outside."
"It's coming from outside. Could it be that big merchants are coming from our Xianyun County?" Otherwise, there would be so many carriages transporting them?
"What are you thinking about? Our Xianyun County is not a fortress, and we don't have any special products. It is impossible for big merchants to come to our county. I think there may be new officials taking office."….
There are different opinions, you have a guess, I have a guess, but none of them have been implemented.
The long queue passed through Xianyun County and exited the city gate; the carriage walked onto the bumpy road, and the leader suddenly understood the purpose of Zhaoyang County's master of so much cement. He turned to look at Xiao Maidong next to him. This person was The people around the County Lord should know some of the County Lord’s plans, right?
"Brother Maidong, do you, the head of the county, want to use cement to build the roads in your hometown?"
Xiao Maidong was stunned for a moment, and felt that this was not something that could not be discussed, so he nodded, "I heard from my father that the county lord has this plan; as you can see, the road to the county lord's hometown is really difficult."
"Indeed." The leader nodded and asked some more about Zhaoyang County Lord. Xiao Maidong picked up the
Speak up if you can, but don't say anything if you can't.
When the leader saw this, he didn't force it. He shouldn't have inquired about the county lord like this.
However, the Lord of Zhaoyang County was also a legendary figure in the capital. He had just arrived in the capital to become the first assistant, but he was not well-known. He did not want to become famous and become a knight. This ability, it is said, made him curious when he was only eight or nine years old.
As the carriage drove into Xiaojia Village, Xiao Maidong said to the leader: "Brother, guard, wait a minute. I'll go ask the county master where to put these things."
As for the small courtyard where the county lord lives, there is really no way to let it go.
"Okay, you go and come back quickly." The leader said.
Xiao Maidong bowed and hurried to Xiao Minghua's house. When he entered the door, he bumped into Xiao Pingfu. Xiao Pingfu quickly pushed him away, "What are you doing? You are reckless and have no rules. If you bump into the county lord, I will It’s up to you what to do.”
"Dad, am I in a hurry?"
"When you come back now, cement has been delivered?" Xiao Pingfu asked.
Xiao Maidong nodded, "Yes! We have arrived at the outskirts of Xiaojiacun. Let's ask the county master where to put the cement. The guards have delivered the cement and they have to rush back to the capital to return to work."
"Okay, you wait here and report to the county lord for your father. Be more careful next time and don't offend the county lord with big things, you know?"
"I know, dad, please ask quickly."
Xiao Pingfu nodded, turned around and went outside Minghua's room. He lowered his head slightly and asked, "County Lord, the cement you asked for has been delivered. Please see where it is suitable to put it. There is a lot of cement, and it will definitely not be able to be piled in the yard." .”
"arrive?"
Minghua walked quickly.
Xiao Pingfu nodded again, "Yes, we have reached the outskirts of Xiaojiacun, and Maidong personally took care of him."
"Mama Luo, take some reward money out of the box and bring it to the housekeeper."
"Okay, County Lord."
Aunt Luo brought a large purse, which was filled with some broken silver. After walking to Minghua, she received Minghua's instructions and handed a bag of silver to Xiao Pingfu.
Minghua said: "Take the money and go to the clan leader and ask him to arrange a parking place for the cement. Tell the clan leader directly that the cement is going to be used to build roads and pave the roads in the clan. He knows how to do it. In addition, cement Store it in a dry place as much as possible. In a humid place, the cement will easily condense into lumps, making it unusable."
"Yes." Xiao Pingfu took the big purse with both hands, turned around and left quickly. When passing by his son, he called out to his son and left the yard together.
Aunt Luo lowered her head and asked, "County Master, don't you go out and have a look?"
"I'm sorry." What's there to see when you bring cement? If you have that time, why not read a book in the room? The study room was occupied by her father and her eldest and second brothers, but the place was a bit small, and she felt a little crowded in it. Son, I always read in my room when I have nothing to do. .
