Agui returned to Prince Xian's Mansion and reported to Lu Bochu's study.
There were herbs, steamed buns, and pastries in front of Lu Bochu. He put down the book in his hand, picked up a white steamed bun, and took a bite.
Before taking the buns, Agui had already had them heated up. The steaming buns were fragrant and contained meat and vegetables. But Lu Bochu didn't know what the vegetables were. They should be wild vegetables dug by An Qi'en from the mountains.
The buns were tender, juicy and delicious. Lu Bo took a first bite and couldn't help but take a second bite. He praised it full of praise: "Good craftsmanship!"
While talking, Lu Bochu took a hot bun and handed it to Agui.
Agui smiled and bent slightly to take the bun: "Your Majesty, I'm not welcome."
Lu Bochu's lips curled up slightly, and he continued: "I have never eaten such special buns. You can go again in two days."
Agui took a bite of the hot buns and said while eating: "Bai Lu said that buns are not available every day. It was just a coincidence that I went there, and I don't know if there will be any in the next two days."
Lu Bo first thought that An Shi'an had said that An Qi'en liked to study food and often made weird and delicious things.
When he was growing up in the palace, although he ate all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, they were all the same and nothing new.
Now an ordinary steamed bun can give him a long-lost sense of happiness.
"Just go there from time to time and you can always bring back some good things."
A Gui happily agreed again and again. He liked to go there the most, especially the little girl Bai Lu, who always made him feel happy.
.........
Years ago, Lu Bo first inspected the place where the canals were being built. The terrain in Jingyang was high, so digging the canals had to be deeper and more difficult. The work process was decided before the year and construction started directly after the year.
On this day, all civil and military officials from Jingyang came. The construction of canals also required the cooperation of various departments. Lu Lubochu stood at the front, followed by senior local officials in Jingyang.
Lin Zhehua stood beside Lu Bochu, and Lu Bochu turned a blind eye to his attitude along the way.
He occasionally interjected words, but Lu Bochu didn't answer them, which made Lin Zhehua extremely embarrassed.
After Lu Bochu took a look at the terrain, he told the officials behind him: "The length, width and depth of the canals in Jingyang are higher than those in other provinces, which requires a lot of labor. The Ministry of Water Resources must have enough manpower. In addition, don't be too small in official positions." , the spectrum is quite big, if I let you know that you are setting up a false position, I will definitely punish you severely."
Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Water Resources clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will work in compliance with the law and work conscientiously."
Lin Zhehua then recommended himself and said: "Your Majesty, I am humbled by my position and am willing to do all the hard work for you!"
Lu Bochu glanced at Lin Zhehua with cold eyebrows, and said in a strange tone: "In Master Lin's words, should we prepare more manpower to stand guard? If we don't have enough people to wait, if something goes wrong, then wouldn't it be my negligence?" ?”
Lin Zhehua blushed with shame, and felt a chill running down his back. He said uneasily, "I dare not do this because of my humble position. I will deal with my wife well if I am humbled by my position in the temple. I hope that the prince will forgive me."
He didn't expect that the prince would lecture him in front of so many people. He originally thought that the prince would only have opinions about the Lin family, but he didn't expect that the situation would become more serious.
Lu Bochu looked solemn and solemn. He glanced at Lin Zhehua and led the people away.
Lin Zhehua broke into a cold sweat silently. If he was ignored by the wise king, all the civil and military officials in Jingyang would isolate him!
Whether his career will be smooth sailing or not depends on him!
Lin Zhehua followed at the end of the crowd, not waiting for the show to end. Now everyone was isolated from him.
Finally, the work process of inspecting the topography of the river channel was completed. Lu Bochu explained a few things about the start of construction in a few years and then returned home.
As soon as Lin Zhehua returned to the house, he scolded Mrs. Zhu and even made her kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night!
Mrs. Zhu didn't expect that the wise king would embarrass her husband because of such a trivial matter. She felt aggrieved and couldn't explain why.
She could only kneel down in the ancestral hall obediently. Lin Yanyun always felt that An Qien was a fox and must have secretly hooked up with the Xian Wang, otherwise the Xian Wang would not vent his anger on her behalf.
She asked people to find out that the wise king loved to listen to books. She always had a headache and felt sleepy when she heard about books. After dressing up carefully, she went to the teahouse.
Sure enough, she saw the wise king there, and she happily walked over to say hello.
"Hail, my lord."
At this time, there was a storyteller on the stage. Lu Bo was listening enthusiastically when a person appeared in front of him for no reason. He raised his eyelids and looked away, then looked away indifferently.
Agui immediately whispered: "Miss Lin, Your Majesty doesn't like to be disturbed while listening to a book."
Lin Yanyun smiled coquettishly and glanced at Lu Bochu, who was not looking at her at all. Lin Yanyun stood aside awkwardly.
It wasn't until the storytelling on stage was over that Lu Bochu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea before looking at Lin Yanyun lightly.
"What's the matter with Miss Lin?"
Lin Yanyun was delighted: "I just happened to see the prince, so I came over to say hello to him."
"An has already invited me, so please step aside." Lu Bochu's expression was indifferent.
Lin Yanyun smiled awkwardly and responded disappointedly: "Okay."
She retreated with a lot of discomfort in her heart. There were many men in Jingyang who coveted her beauty, but the wise king didn't even look at her.
This is already the third time that she has deliberately appeared in front of the wise king, and there has been no good progress at all.
Lin Yanyun came out of the teahouse glumly, and saw the four masters and servants of An Qien not far away.
An abandoned woman had three maids to serve her. It was because of her that the prince had a bad impression of her and the Lin family, this broomstick woman!
Lin Yanyun is getting angry because of An Qi'en! An Qien was in high spirits, and the three maids were all carrying things in their hands, which seemed to be buying new year's goods.
An Qi'en also saw Lin Yanyun. Her expression did not change, and she did not even bother to say hello. She was not familiar with her, and Lin Yanyun looked aloof. An Qi'en despised such a lady.
Seeing An Qien ignoring her, Lin Yanyun felt angry. She walked directly in front of her and said with a strange voice: "Ms. An is so cheerful today. She is not afraid of the cold and went out to the market."
An Qi'en calmly said: "Yes, I am in a good mood today."
She was too lazy to argue with people like Lin Yanyun, and she felt tired even if she said another word.
Lin Yanyun looked at her and said, "You must be in high spirits. My brother is still lying on the bed. Madam An's revenge is very good."
"Miss Lin praised me too much. The prince also thought this method was feasible that day. Is Miss Lin talking about the prince taking revenge on the Lin family?"
Lin Yanyun was choked for a few seconds before saying, "You are using such forceful words to make sense!"
After saying that, he angrily left with the maid.
After just a few steps, she came back and looked at An Qien, who was dressed in simple clothes. She looked at the bright and attractive one she was wearing, and suddenly felt that the prince might not like luxurious people. She immediately had the idea of changing her look. ........
