Chapter 76 Bringing people to build a house
The dozen or so strong men brought by Chen Jingzhi stood in two rows obediently.
Mr. Zhao didn't know why, but the visitor was a guest, so he quickly called for people to come in and sit down.
There are enough bowls at home.
"Boss, go get some water quickly."
The two strong men at the head looked at each other and did not dare to go in and sit down.
Chen Jingzhi was in a good mood when he came to Zhao's house again and greeted the strong men with a smile.
"The teachers have invited everyone, please come in and sit down."
The county magistrate said this, and this group of people dared to come in.
When those strong men sat down solemnly, they were all burly men, sitting in an orderly manner, not daring to look around.
Mr. Zhao approached Chen Jingzhi and asked in a low voice, "Jingzhi, what are they here for?"
Chen Jingzhi smiled and replied: "You have been living in a shed. I have been thinking about this. These days, I have found some experts in building houses in the county to repair the house for you. This is also my filial piety."
Mr. Zhao didn't expect this, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he thought it was the student's filial piety after all.
"Good boy, I'm worried that I can't find anyone to help me."
People are here, so why not refuse? I just don’t know if I can afford the wages.
"Since he is an expert in the county, how much is his daily salary? I don't know if I have enough money saved."
Mr. Zhao asked Chen Jingzhi first to avoid being unable to pay him later, which would be a bad idea.
Chen Jingzhi: "How can I ask you to pay for it? Since I invited you, I will naturally take care of everything."
"Can't, can't."
Mr. Zhao was shocked and quickly refused. There was no reason to ask students to pay for building a house. He, a master, didn't teach anything, and he still asked students to spend money.
Chen Jingzhi had long expected to be rejected and had thought of a countermeasure.
"
Master, the student lives in the house every day. When he opens his eyes and sees the wooden beams, he remembers that you still live in the shed. He has trouble sleeping and eating every day. As soon as the matter is taken care of, he immediately arranges for someone to come. "
"I was worried before that building a house for your family would attract jealousy. I heard from Yan Shan that someone has already started building a house in the village. Please bring them over quickly."
"Winter is about to begin. Let's settle your matters first so that students can relax and handle their official duties properly."
"You should think about the students so that I can work with peace of mind."
After saying this, Mr. Zhao, who was always soft-hearted, was a little shaken.
"Well, you can't pay for it."
Chen Jingzhi smiled and said: "Master, after all, I am a county magistrate. Even though he is not a big official, he is still in charge of our entire county."
"If I find someone to build a house for you, and I only look for someone, but don't give you any money, then my colleagues will look at me differently."
"If you can't do such a small thing for Master, you will be ridiculed when you enter or leave officialdom in the future."
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "It's so serious..."
Mr. Zhao was already wavering, and Chen Jingzhi increased his firepower.
"It is said that once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. If Yanshan and the others pay for the construction of a house, you will definitely agree. Why can't it be done here as a student?"
"You don't recognize me as a student?"
Now that the words have come to this point, Mr. Zhao is the worst at arguing, so he deserves a nod.
Mr. Zhao nodded in agreement, and he had to tell Mrs. Zhao next.
Chen Jingzhi glanced at Wu Yang. Wu Yang received the signal and smiled as he picked up a stool and sat down next to Mrs. Zhao.
"Master's wife."
It’s not wrong to put them in the master’s house. Mrs. Zhao saw Wu Yang
He sat down and immediately smiled.
Before setting off, Chen Jingzhi and Wu Yang had discussed it in advance. Chen Jingzhi was responsible for persuading Mr. Zhao, and Wu Yang was responsible for persuading Mrs. Zhao.
Boss Zhao and He Sutong handed each strong man a bowl of water.
The strong men took it with both hands, a little frightened.
They looked at each other, and they almost knelt down when the county magistrate came to see them in person yesterday, thinking that something had happened.
Later I found out that the county magistrate came to ask them to build a house for his master.
They rode a carriage all the way here. This was the first time in their lives that they rode a carriage, which was a surprise to them.
When they came to Zhao's house, it looked like an ordinary farmhouse, and they didn't dare to neglect it.
The master who can be the county magistrate must be a great person, maybe he is a high-ranking official who has retired and returned to his hometown.
After a while, Wu Yang smiled and gestured to Chen Jingzhi.
Said it was done.
Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao looked at each other, feeling helpless in each other's eyes.
After completing a task on his mind, Chen Jingzhi said happily, "Without further delay, we have to build the house quickly. Master, I am still waiting to perform the apprenticeship ceremony in the new house."
Mr. Zhao has almost forgotten this, and he hasn't even performed the apprenticeship ceremony yet.
"Hehehe, I must build the house soon."
After the host family finished talking, the strong men realized that it was time to work, and everyone became excited.
The house must be repaired. This is the magistrate's business!
The strong man in the lead asked first: "Master, how many rooms do you plan to build and what style do you plan to build?"
The Zhao family has not yet agreed on the number of rooms. Now that Chen Jingzhi is paying, Mr. Zhao is embarrassed to say too much.
Chen Jingzhi saw Mr. Zhao’s
Concerns, suggestions.
"Go to the site first and build as many rooms as possible."
So the group went to the Zhao family's original land.
Chen Jingzhi was not wearing official robes today, and his handsome face made many girls peek shyly.
Wang Luni happened to be passing by and couldn't walk when she saw Chen Jingzhi. She also saw Wu Yang in the crowd.
They are all very good-looking.
Zhao Miaomiao was walking behind, and Wang Luni rushed in and grabbed Zhao Miaomiao.
"Miaomiao!"
Zhao Miaomiao was startled, "Liuni, what are you doing?"
Wang Luni was so excited that she could hardly speak.
"That, that person."
"And that boy."
"me……"
Zhao Miaomiao rolled her eyes. They have been sisters for many years and understood what Wang Luni meant.
"Don't even think about it, you can't climb it."
Wang Luni was not convinced, "Tell me first who it is?"
Chen Jingzhi has been here before, and his identity is not a secret.
Zhao Miaomiao didn't hide it, and simply told Wang Luni to prevent her from daydreaming.
"Our Lord, the magistrate of Jiangcheng County, and his disciples."
"what?"
Wang Liuni was stunned in place, as if she had been struck by lightning.
He was actually the county magistrate. Seeing that he was walking with the Zhao family and had a close relationship, I thought he was a relative of the Zhao family.
"You, your family knows the county magistrate?"
Looking very skilled, Zhao Laosan even hooked up with the county magistrate.
When Li Xiuxiu and Li Yuebai said this, they mentioned Zhao Miaomiao and wanted to invite her to chat with them.
It turned out that Zhao Miaomiao was missing. I looked back and saw Zhao Miaomiao at the back.
Li Xiuxiu shouted, "Miaomiao, what are you doing? Follow me quickly."
"Okay, I'll come right away."
The second sister-in-law is calling her, Zhao Miaomiao smiles
Then she said to Wang Luni, "Luni, I have to leave first. I'll talk to you later."
Wang Luni wanted to say something else, but Zhao Miaomiao had already ran away happily, so she had to give up.
The county magistrate is so good-looking. I heard a while ago that the magistrate came to the village in person, but it was a pity that he went up the mountain to collect firewood and didn't see it.
Wang Luni looked at Chen Jingzhi with nostalgia. It would be great if she could go to the county magistrate's house, even if it was...
"Hey, I don't want to anymore." Wang Luni sighed and patted her face, "If I pick up too little firewood today, my father will scold me."
