Chapter 040 Spoil

In less than a week, the hot topic in the streets and alleys of Anhua City was the imperial court's construction of a water conservancy project in Qingyang Prefecture. In the past, the front of Che Zijin's house was a sparrow at the door, but now it has become crowded. After all, they all want to get benefits from his master. In addition to the merchants from all walks of life, his seven aunts and eight aunts also came from their hometown to get attached to this relative relationship when they heard the relevant news, in order to get a good job.

The happiest person is the wife of the Che family. After all, she felt that she really didn't marry the wrong person and finally saw her father-in-law's day of prosperation. At the same time, Che Zijin is no longer without a backer and * in the eyes of his colleagues. He is already a man of Lin Zimo, so many snobbish people have changed from their cold attitude in the past to become closer and closer to him. Che Zijin knew that all this was given by Lin Zimo, so he vowed to follow the governor all the way.

Lin Zimo, who had something in his head for a long time, knew that the bigger the government project, the more oil and water there was in it. The budget for the water conservancy project I gave to Chezijin is 100,000 taels of silver. He knew that the silver actually spent on the project would never be the same as the budget. Lin Zimo really doesn't mind that his subordinate earns two more. After all, he has been poor for more than ten years, and his family is really poor. However, he clearly told Cha Zijin that he must ensure the quality of the project. If something goes wrong, he will be buried alive in the accident area with his whole family.

Che Zijin had seen Lin Zimo's means and knew that his boss was the best master, so he swore to God in front of him that he would never dare to cut corners. Lin Zimo, who knows his timid personality, believes that he will not build a tofu dregs project for himself. If it really happens, I will definitely beat him.

It's dinner time again this day. Yang Mengqi ordered the maids to set up dishes in the room in her yard. In special cases, Lin Zimo all eats at her place. Chu Hanlu, who didn't feel any inappropriate, also came a moment in advance. Although the two of them are not sisters, their relationship is so good that they can't even catch up with many sisters. Lin Zimo sat in his own position as usual, and the two of them habitually sat around him separately.

Yang Mengqi, who looked very happy, showed pride and pride in his expression. The biggest expectation in his heart is that his man can benefit the world more. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Fair, you have done a great good thing for the people of Li people. Building water conservancy projects is a great thing for the benefit of children and grandchildren. I have a toast to my husband."

"Brother Zimo, it's amazing." Chu Hanlu, who had just picked up a piece of braised pork ribs with chopsticks, put it into Lin Zimo's bowl, followed her with a smile and picked up the glass and said, "I also have a toast to you."

Lin Zimo, who knows some basic modern hygiene knowledge, knew that Yang Mengqi, who was pregnant, would not drink a little wine, so he followed them to take the glass and smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to be ashamed of the two ladies' comments on me."

Then he clinked glasses with the two people one by one, and then drank without a drop left in the glass. Lin Zimo put down the wine glass and picked up the chopsticks to eat the dishes that Chu girl picked up for herself. After all, he understood that the way she liked was to send her favorite food. He, who was very attached to Chu Hanlu, praised the braised pork ribs that she had pinched, which tasted more delicious.

"Master, two ladies, the third lady's personal maid, Ulan, asked to see you." The picking moon that came slowly over reported truthfully.

Yang Mengqi took a look at Lin Zimo beside him, and then smiled at his personal maid and said, "Let her in!"

He agreed to pick a moon with the word 'yes', turned around and walked straight out of the door, came to the door of the small courtyard, and told Ula that he could go in. She followed Caiyue and slowly stepped in.

Seeing Lin Zimo's Ulan, he stood three steps away and said respectfully, "Miss asked the maidservant to invite the master to dinner."

I feel that it is not the moon but the sun hanging in the night sky tonight. I haven't been to her yard since I parted with Nalan Zhen on my wedding night. In the house, there are few opportunities for both of them to face each other. Even if they meet, they don't talk to each other, go their own way and do their own personal things.

Lin Zimo didn't blame her for the injury. After all, it was not her fault. He knows that the two are a political marriage, and the purpose of leaving too much space for her is to make her feel better. As for whether you "get on the bus and buy tickets" like Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu, it depends on the future situation. Getting married first and then falling in love is the characteristics of this era, and it is really hard to say whether love can be bred.

Lin Zimo, who knows that he has nothing to do and is either a traitor or a thief, can feel that Nalan really has something to tell himself, otherwise he will not invite him to her room for dinner for no reason. Since it is not a Hongmen banquet, what kind of banquet will it be? He knows more or less about her temperament and knows that she is not a woman who can easily bow her head.

Lin Zimo, who couldn't stand up and walk with Ulan, didn't want Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu to feel that they liked the new and hated the old, so they smiled gently and said, "I've just eaten here. I'm afraid I'll have to wait for your daughter for a long time."

Lan Xinhui's Yang Mengqi knew his intention and deliberately set up a ladder to give himself a father-in-law: "Since Miss Nalan has been invited, it's better for her husband to go to her side. The slave family and Chu didn't feel lonely when they ate together. On the contrary, she ate alone, which seemed a little lonely.

Lin Zimo, who admired her virtuous heart, was determined to stay and eat with them as a reward for his wife, saying, "You go back first. I will go in half an hour. If she can afford to wait, I can have another dinner with her. However, I still think she should eat on time. After all, this is more in line with the way to nourish herself.

Ulan, who can hear it clearly, naturally can't be entangled unreasonably, so she has to bend her knees and retreat after salute. Lin Zimo, who covered his chopsticks with his right hand, first picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it into Yang Mengqi's bowl, and then picked up the thigh of a crispy duck and put it into Chu Hanlu's bowl. The maids present saw that the third lady in the family was far inferior to the eldest lady, and the second lady's status in the master's mind. Some of them don't have to start snickering at Nalan.

Chu Hanlu, who picked up the crispy duck leg in his left hand, was not in a hurry to bite it, and blurted out: "Does the new sister want to compete for favor?"

Lin Zimo and Yang Mengqi's attention was attracted by her sudden words. They didn't think it was her temporary childish words, so they asked with one voice, "Who told you?"

Chu Hanlu, with clear eyes, turned his head and stared at them and said, "No one told me, which came to mind from the play. The struggle of the concubines in the harem is just to be favored by His Majesty the emperor! Although Brother Zimo is not the emperor, there is another woman beside him besides his sister and me. She can't be with Zimo all day, so..."

Before she finished speaking, Yang Mengqi interrupted her theory and said, "Don't talk nonsense and eat the duck leg in your hand."

Lin Zimo, who smiled, could see that his wife was protecting the little girl and didn't want her to leave a result of attracting Nalan's hatred. Chu Hanlu said casually, although it was not directly targeted at Nalanzhen, it was easy to be associated with others. If the words reach the other party's ears, there will definitely be some trouble. After all, it will be easily understood that the little girl is ridiculing herself for being out of favor. She has no status in the house and is not favored by Lin Zi.

Yang Mengqi frowned slightly. For the sake of Wanquan, he immediately ordered to hear what the maids Chu had just said: "You all give me ears and listen clearly. Don't spread what you just said. If you let me know who dares to talk about right and wrong, just take care of the skin of your body. Do you understand?"

The maids answered in unison, "I understand."

"Madam, you are too cautious. According to her husband, Nalan really heard this and should not argue with the little girl. Lin Zimo said what he thought.

Yang Mengqi, who was born as a daughter, doesn't look like his father-in-law. After all, women know women best. Moreover, she knew that many of her servants were at the helm of the wind. Usually, in order to please themselves and Chu Hanlu, they have deliberately alienated the people on Na Lanzhen's side. If any of them want to take the little girl's words seriously again, they will definitely stand up to show loyalty and run to provoke the master and servants of the third room. Although Yang Mengqi didn't really have a sisterhood with Nalan, he carefully paid attention to the past and knew that the other party was not the kind of person who swallowed his anger and calmed things down.

"Third lady, you can't go in like this. You have to wait for the maidservant to spread it to you. A second-class maid in Yang Meng's chess room was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and did not dare to take the initiative to stop Nalan Zhendao.

Na Lanzhen, who ignored her, went straight into the room, stood opposite Lin Zimo and asked, "I asked Ulan to call you over for dinner, but why didn't you come over?"

The second-class maid wanted to say to the eldest lady, 'I wanted to stop the third lady, but I couldn't stop her, but Yang Mengqi quickly motioned her to leave for a second. Unable to say anything more, she bowed her knees respectfully and gave a blessing, and then slowly retreated.

Lin Zimo, who did not feel unexpected at all, believes that Nalan will really do this. He does not intend to repeat what he said before or explain, "Would you like to sit down and eat with us?"
