After leaving the Ministry of Household Affairs, Chu Qing still did not enter the palace. Instead, he went for a walk in Bei City and asked about the price of materials. He was not very confident about Fu San's IQ and was afraid that this guy would be cheated again.
Fortunately, unexpectedly, Fusan was not cheated and the price was very reasonable.
Of course, what Chu Qing didn't know was that Fusan always revealed his identity when he went to the engineering materials store, saying that he was the servant of Hiroshi Shang, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and then took out a knife and stabbed it directly into the table, so he didn't get slaughtered.
When we returned to Chu Mansion, it was already night, and Fu San was also back.
Fu San talked to Chu Qing and said that before leaving the palace, the old eunuch Sun An had found the villagers and asked them to tell Chu Qing that the emperor was very angry and felt that Chu Qing was not doing anything serious. From now on, he would have to go to the palace every day to repair the palace and was not allowed to miss work.
Chu Qing looked surprised.
He really thinks that he is the supervisor, and the emperor is not too serious this time, so he doesn't care what he does.
However, Chu Qing didn't think much about it. Just as he was about to go to sleep, the housekeeper Bao Guisheng said that a servant from the residence of the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue was here.
Chu Qing ran out quickly, took the eight hundred silver notes without disturbing his father, and fell asleep happily after returning to the bedroom.
With these 800 strings, even if the Taowu Hall is rebuilt, it won't be a big problem. The only trouble is the issue of time. It will definitely not be completed before the delivery date.
However, Chu Qing was not too worried. He always had to show an attitude in everything and let the prince know that the Chu family was doing their best to do this. Afterwards, the worst case scenario was for Huang Si to go to the emperor to beg for mercy. No matter what, it would be easy to solve.
After sleeping beautifully for four hours, Chu Qing, who had developed a good habit, got up early in the morning. After eating two mouthfuls, he went outside the palace to meet the Tao family farmers, and then entered the palace to continue his hard work.
The fire kiln had been piled up, and thick smoke billowed out after it was lit.
Chu Qing didn't think much about it, but when it was time to go to court at noon, the ministers were shocked.
Someone dared to light an open fire in the palace? !
Huang Laosi, who was about to return to Jingyi Hall, was also dumbfounded.
This Chu Qing, would he be so brave after eating a bear's heart?
Except for torches and lamps at night, it is not allowed to light open fires outside in the palace. Although it is not written in the "Chang Law", everyone knows that this is a taboo.
Sun An saw the emperor's face gloomy and whispered: "Old slave, go and reprimand him now!"
"Wait a minute." Huang Laosi gritted his teeth and said, "There is no hurry, I want to know first how the sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked hero escaped from the Wuzhishan Mountain!"
After finishing speaking, Huang Laosi returned to Jingyi Hall angrily.
Sun An was also convinced.
For the sake of listening to a story, it doesn’t matter if my feelings set fire to the palace, right?
Besides, the ministers didn't say anything when they saw the emperor. Although they felt strange, no one meddle in other people's business.
Huang Laosi was not in the mood to reply to the memorial in the Jingyi Hall. To be precise, he didn't even go to court today and was only thinking about how Monkey King should get out of trouble.
Seeing the emperor's absent-minded look, Sun An said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you first take a look at the collapse of the mountain in Leizhou? The mountain collapsed, making the roads difficult to travel, and the official roads were blocked. The magistrate of Leizhou was thinking..."
"Let him find a golden cudgel to pave the way for him."
Sun An: "???"
"Oh." The upset Huang Laosi waved his hand: "It's already noon. Have those villagers eaten? After eating, let Chu Qing tell the story."
"Your Majesty, please have your meal first, with..."
"No, I want to listen and eat at the same time. It's just boring to eat without listening to stories."
"Old slave, go now."
Sun An discovered that since Chu Qing came to the palace, the emperor has become more and more careless.
When he was approaching the ruins of Taowu Hall, Sun An saw the villagers having lunch.
Sun An, who had the imperial mandate, did not dare to delay and walked over quickly, fearing that he would not be able to update the chapter in time.
Chu Qing saw Sun An from afar, scratched the stubble on his chin and sneered.
Damn eunuch!
Hermaphrodites!
One thing in front of you and another behind your back!
The curse in his heart was in his heart, but Chu Qing didn't dare to say it out loud, so he bowed politely.
"What do you want to do, Eunuch Sun?"
"Nothing, let's just come and have a look."
"Oh." Chu Qing didn't take it seriously. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, he waved his hand: "Keep going, hurry up."
Sun An was dumbfounded: "Chu... Mr. Chu, why don't you take a break after dinner?"
"Why rest? It's only right to get to work quickly."
"Can…"
Chu Qing's face was full of confusion: "Didn't His Majesty say that he is not satisfied with the progress of our project and asked me to come to supervise the work every day? Wouldn't it be delayed again if we take a short break?"
Sun An was speechless.
Yes, that's what the emperor said.
But the problem is that His Majesty asked you to come here every day to tell stories. Who cares how fast your shabby palace can be repaired? Stories, our family wants to hear stories! ! !
"Uh... Mr. Chu." Sun An hesitated and said, "I think we should rest for a while after eating. Don't be in a hurry. Yes, don't be in a hurry."
Chu Qing's expression changed, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
What Huang Laosi said is absolutely correct. This old eunuch is indeed not a good person. He deliberately slows down the progress of my project so that he can report it to the emperor!
"The emperor has already told us how to do it. Please hurry up and do it. I don't dare to disobey the holy order."
"That's right." Sun An smiled awkwardly: "That's the case, that's fine, that's fine."
The old eunuch didn't listen to this, so he could only turn around and leave, thinking that he should report to the emperor first.
It was a coincidence that when the old eunuch walked around the gravel, he accidentally looked back and saw Chu Qing running to a group of villagers and spoke happily.
"Everyone, it's not that I don't want you to rest. It's the eunuch who came to see the progress of the project. He knows that you want to hear the story. You do it while I tell it. Let's not waste any time and don't let the eunuch catch me. "
The dealer's door roared with applause.
Chu Qing laughed and opened his mouth: "Speaking of Wuzhishan..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu San suddenly saw Sun An returning, and he quickly poked Chu Qing with his finger: "Master, that eunuch is back again."
Chu Qing's expression changed, and he pretended to shout: "Everyone, come on, hurry up."
Sun An came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu."
"Eunuch Sun."
"Master Chu."
"Eunuch Sun."
Sun An's smile was a little awkward.
Keep talking, keep talking, why haven’t we stopped talking since we came here?
Chu Qing asked strangely: "Eunuch Sun, is there anything else?"
"I just heard that Mr. Chu is going to tell a story again. Let's join in the fun."
Chu Qing sneered inwardly and waved his hands repeatedly: "Eunuch Sun heard wrong. I just asked everyone to work quickly."
"But our family has clearly heard about Wuzhishan."
"I mean whoever is lazy, Wuzhishan will shoot him to death!"
Sun An: "..."
For a moment, Sun An wondered if he had heard wrongly.
Seeing that Chu Qing really didn't want to continue talking, he could only turn around and leave.
After walking a few dozen meters, a voice came from behind.
"Speaking of Wuzhishan..."
Eunuch Sun ran back immediately.
When Chu Qing saw the old eunuch coming back, he shouted at the farmers: "Wuzhishan specializes in shooting you lazy ones, so hurry up and do it!"
Sun An was too lazy to be polite and walked to the Council Hall with a frown, walking a few dozen meters.
"There was a bald man who saw Wuzhishan..."
Sun An ran back again, fuming.
"You're just telling a story!"
Chu Qing shrugged: "No, father-in-law, you heard wrong."
"you…"
"You really heard wrong."
"good!"
Sun An left, walking dozens of meters away.
"Seeing Xun Wukong at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain..."
Sun An suddenly turned around.
Chu Qing: "Then Xun Wukong was suppressed because he didn't work hard. Hurry up and seize the time."
Sun An almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Sun An, who was extremely angry, stopped looking for Chu Qing and walked quickly back to Jingyi Hall.
Chu Qing turned his head, looked at the old eunuch's retreating back, and sneered again and again.
Damn eunuch, if you want to take advantage of me, just dream!
Speaking of the old eunuch, when he arrived at the entrance of Jingyi Hall, as soon as he crossed the threshold, Huang Laosi couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? How is it? How did Xun Wukong get out of trouble?"
Sun An's face was full of bitterness.
Huang Laosi's expression changed slightly: "You didn't tell me?"
"I told you, it's just..." Sun An was so angry that he didn't care about mercy and was about to complain: "Young Master Chu told me, but he didn't let me listen. Whenever I..."
Huang Laosi yelled: "You're a loser, you're worse than that Roaring Sky Dog!"
Sun An was stunned.
What the hell...
