Chapter 110
Before dawn, Tang Xiucai got up and called Lei Qi, Wu Tiancheng, Xu San, Qian Fatty and others over. Wu Tiancheng had eyes hanging on the corners of his eyes, and he was swaying in anger, walking over like a drunk man. Tang Xiucai saw it, and was angry and said angrily: "Do you know what day today?"
"I know, I know." Wu Tiancheng was startled and said, "Isn't it just that the canal is open to navigation. Is the imperial envoy coming to watch the ceremony?"
"That's the imperial envoy. How many times can I see it in my life? I dare to be so lazy! You're going to anger me to death!"
Seeing Tang Xiucai's angry look, Wu Tiancheng was so scared that he shivered. The Tang family father and son were all very kind people, so there was no need to say that Tang Yi could get along with anyone. As for Tang Xiucai, he was even more like a Bodhisattva. However, remember one thing, don't let Tang Yi know that you made Tang Xiucai angry, and vice versa. If you violate this law of death, just wait for the ecstasy to die!
Old Tang was already angry and could only use his son to suppress me. Wu Tiancheng hurriedly said, "My master said that the imperial envoy has arrived. Just clean up the dock and clean the boat, and there will be no problem."
"You believe whatever he says? Very big man is brainless!" Tang Xiucai immediately cursed: "The last time the imperial envoy visited the imperial envoy in a private visit to a friend, this time he came to attend the ceremony seriously! The rebuilding of the Yantiedang is to be recorded in history. Mr. Jingchuan personally wrote the preface, and the prefect and the prefect are all coming. In front of the gentry and elders in Jiangnan, the imperial envoy was neglected. Where did you let my old face go? Your master is willing to do it, and you will learn from it too. It's really angering me!"
Now the few people were sweating in their foreheads. Thinking about it for a moment, it was true that the imperial envoy was so noble, let alone so many officials from prefectures and counties who had a reputation of inadequate hospitality. Just a spitting star could drown people.
Lei Qi frowned and said hurriedly: "Mr. Tang, don't worry first. The imperial envoy will not come at noon, and it's still time."
"Is it too late?" Tang Xiucai asked in confusion.
Lei Qi nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will arrange for workers to build a colorful shed from the wharf to Taicangzhou City, water-filled street, and loess cushion road."
Wu Tiancheng also hurriedly said: "In this way, I will immediately go back to Changwen Paper Shop, bring the chef, and then go to the carpenter's workshop and winery to bring tables, chairs and benches."
Fatty Qian also said, "Leave the rest to me. The trees along the way must be wrapped in red silk. This girl Zhou can do it, and she can play music and sing, and get a few carriage firecrackers."
Everyone said and said everything, and they actually assigned the huge matter. Tang Xiucai found that there were no loopholes and nodded quickly: "Let's go halfway now, there are still three hours before noon, so you must be ready!"
"Abide by the order!"
The imperial envoy was welcomed elsewhere and prepared a few days in advance. Tang Xiucai was just now in a sedan chair and had his ears and eyes pierced, but it was really true that he had the courage!
After building the canal for several months, the original refugees have become the most powerful group of workers of this era under Tang Yi's training, no doubt about it!
After receiving the order, everyone quickly mobilized. There were wooden shelves that had excavated stones, and they stood together, and the skeletons of the colored sheds were found. Then women and children gathered flowers and herbs and decorated them. This was really the case.
The worst thing is that the wood is exposed, it doesn’t matter. Not long after, Zhou Qinyun came with her friend, and the car was filled with brand new red silk.
"Pack it up quickly."
The guys acted immediately. Soon after, the colored sheds and the viewing tables on both sides turned into a big red area, full of joy. Tang Xiucai saw it and kept nodding, but he was still a little distressed.
"Such a good satin will be useless once, so it's better to use red paper!"
Zhou Qinyun heard it in her ears and thought that she was really worthy of being a father and son, and even the imperial envoy dared to fool him!
"Mr. Tang, the colored shed is the place where the imperial envoy stays. It is absolutely careless. However, many of the trees along the way are wrapped in red paper. Fortunately, there is no wind or rain today, and God is helping."
OK, they are all the same, the difference is just courage.
The colored shed was set up here, and Lei Qi led thousands of workers over there. Each of them was pushing a chicken bus in their hands, filled with loess, and spread all the way from Zhoucheng to the dock. There was an old cow pulling stone rollers behind him. He walked by and passed by. The ground was flat and there was not even a little dust, just like a magic trick.
As for Wu Tiancheng, he ran to the vegetable market, stood at the intersection of the street, and shouted with his waist, "Let me listen to everything, I have packed everything, no matter what, I will deliver it to the dock!"
The common people were a little stunned, and then looked at him with an idiot, clearly saying that you are crazy!
Wu Tiancheng was also anxious and reached out to take out a stack of silver notes from his arms and held them high in the air.
"Listen, I am the owner of Changwen Paper Shop and the general accountant of Canal No. 1. The imperial envoy arrived at Yantietang, and all the vendors took the goods to the wharf. The price was twice as much. If you dare not go, you will be punished for neglecting the imperial envoy!"
Wow!
What a big charge, it scared everyone. The clerk and chef from Changwen Paper Shop both came over, pulled up the vendors, took the carry and left, leaving behind the stupid people.
Wu Tiancheng was embarrassed to bow: "My fellow villagers, let's eat pickles for a day, and I'll treat you back!"
Fengfeng rushed to the dock, and at this time Zhu Laoshi also brought all the furniture with his friend. The imperial envoy and all used redwood, and the others were yellow rosewood and chicken wenge. The whole southeast was that Tang Yi could bring out so much redwood furniture.
While everyone was busy, Zhou Xun was sweating profusely and ran to the dock. When he saw that it was still messy, his head suddenly became big.
"Master Tang, Tang Zun has already accompanied the imperial envoy to the city and has not been done yet. What should I do?" Zhou Xun was so anxious that he was confused. The basic arrangement was over and over, and the rest was cleaning.
"Brother Zhou, don't worry, there will be no trouble."
Zhou Xun was skeptical and turned around to report. Soon, a pair of knights came over and reported the imperial envoy's itinerary. Everyone's hearts were all in their throats and they stepped up cleaning.
Not to mention that the wharf was so busy that he was overwhelmed, Zhao Wenhua was very excited. He was surrounded by the gentry and officials of Suzhou, and was winding towards the wharf.
What a lively scene!
The road was neat and clean, with the trees on both sides dazzling. During the dragon and lion dance, drums and music were noisy. Every time I walked, firecrackers were ringing. Zhao Wenhua smiled with eyes.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry."
Chen Menghe did not dare to make a contribution, so he hurriedly said: "It's all the inspector Tang who has good arrangements and proper arrangements."
"Inspector Tang? What is his relationship with that prodigy Tang Yi?"
How could he know Tang Yi? Chen Menghe didn't know the whole story, or said: "Inspector Tang is Tang Yi's father. He can build the Yan Tietang. The father and son have made great contributions."
"Okay, the tiger father has no dog son. It can be seen that he is a clerk. After returning to the capital, I will definitely recommend it to the court."
As soon as these words were said, many officials' eyes turned red, and many people struggled for a lifetime but couldn't expect such a sentence. Tang Shen usually looked honest, but he didn't expect to be able to flatter him!
Gradually, Zhao Wenhua came to the dock and looked at the tall colored shed with joy and auspiciousness. In front of the colored shed, Tang Shen was in the middle, and Tang Shunzhi stood beside him. At this time, Tang Shunzhi's thoughts were not on Zhao Wenhua at all, but staring at Tang Yi, and clearly said, "Give me an explanation!"
Tang Yi scratched his head, winked and begged for mercy.
Zhao Wenhua was only about two hundred steps away from the dock. Tang Xiucai walked forward to greet him, saying that he was the imperial envoy, and bowed down to salute. However, Zhao Wenhua was very kind and hurriedly held him, saying, "I am not here or not here to announce the imperial edict, there is no need to do so."
Tang Xiucai said repeatedly: "The courtesy cannot be abandoned!" He still gave a big gift. Tang Yi was unwilling to do so, so he could only follow him.
Tang Shunzhi and Zhao Wenhua were in the same year. As Zhao Wenhua said, it was not a formal declaration, just give in. Zhao Wenhua smiled and took the initiative to pull Tang Shunzhi's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Yixiu, are you willing to follow me to Beijing this time?"
"Thank you for the support from Meicun Gong. I have been lazy for many years, and I am afraid of causing trouble for Meicun Gong."
"Hahaha, you and I have the same subject, why are you polite?" The two of them walked into the colorful shed together and came to the main seat specially prepared for the imperial envoy. Zhao Wenhua flashed his eyes and saw something on the table immediately attracted him.
The ornaments more than one foot tall, the brown and yellow mountain, with a vigorous old tree growing. There is a huge hornet's nest on the tree. Under the hornet's nest is a horse. There is a monkey standing immediately. The monkey holds a bamboo pole in his hand and pokes the hornet's nest.
Whether it is rocks, trees, horses, or monkeys, they all appear vividly and vividly colored, so it looks so beautiful.
"This is Yao Yu's ornaments? I have never seen such a big Yao Yu ornaments. Brother Yi Xiu, but what does this thing mean? Do you understand?"
