Infrastructure masters in the red building

Since Jia Fang agreed to meet Xia Sheng in the south, it meant that he would have to stay at home obediently for a while, and it would be inconvenient for him to walk around in Beijing.

So Jia Fang chose a day to go to Shuixian's Beijing Palace, firstly to say hello to Shuixian, and secondly because Shuixian had contributed a lot to Jia's affairs before, Jia Fang felt that he must come to express grateful.

Arriving at the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, there is still no one in front of the Palace, and no one comes and goes.Jia Fang recalled that he had heard about the King of Beijing from the officials in Beijing earlier, and whenever he mentioned it, he would always criticize him as a "merchant and philistine". Those industries that are making money every day are admired by everyone, and they put on a posture that as long as the other party is willing to recruit, they will immediately join the sect.

In addition, Shui Xian has always lived in isolation, except for a few close friends, he doesn't like to associate with people in the officialdom.Therefore, although this Beijing Prince's Mansion is well-built, there is always such a deserted atmosphere in front of the door - but it is relatively similar to Shui Xian's temperament.

The concierge of the palace had already known Jia Fang, so needless to say, he led Jia Fang all the way through the buildings in the front yard of the palace, leading to the Chuihua Gate, and invited Jia Fang to enter by himself.

"Are you in the 'Wuzhu Secluded Residence' or 'sitting with someone' today?" Jia Fang asked casually.

The concierge replied honestly: "It's in 'sit with'."

Jia Fang thanked him with a smile, and followed the way he came back last time, passing through the corridor through the mountain, passing by "Wuzhu Youju", and far away is "Sitting with someone".

It's just that this time there is no cook and other people in the hall, and there are no delicacies such as bean curd.Only Shui Xian was alone, sitting facing the water, meditating on his thoughts, which made Jia Fang feel deeply touched: This is really "Who is sitting with? The moon is clear and the wind is me".

He called out: "Ziheng!"

Shui Xian moved his body, turned around and saw Jia Fang, his face immediately showed joy, got up and stood in front of Xiaoxuan's gooseneck chair "Beauty Leaning" by Linshui, the pool of clear water under his feet clearly reflected him figure.

"Sit with me when you come." Jia Fang came to Shui Xian, and Shui Xian pulled him to sit next to the beauty by the water, and sat lazily beside Jia Fang, resting his stomach on his hands and leaning on his side. Looking at Jia Fang.

"Why do you think of coming to my place today?" Shui Xian asked.

"I came to say hello to you. Mr. Xia Shengshen has already left for the south. I will concentrate on dealing with the affairs in the south in a few days. I am afraid that I will not have the chance to go out... I will not see you for a while."

Shui Xian leaned on the gooseneck chair and stared at Jia Fang from the beginning to the end. After staring at Jia Fang for a while, he smiled, "So that's how it is!"

"However, just like you, in a day or two, I'm going to visit my fief."

Jia Fang's eyes widened immediately, and he asked, "Your fief?" He had never heard of Shui Xian having his own fief, and he had never heard of King Jing of Beijing leaving Beijing to go to his fief.

"Yeah!" Shui Xian nodded, "You have yours, and I naturally have my fief."

Jia Fang was taken aback, feeling that there was something in the other party's words——Jia Fang's fief is in Taoyuan Village, and the "shortcut" from Beijing to Taoyuan Village is in the Grand View Garden he is building. When Jia Fang said "go to the fief", it meant from Daoxiang Village , through the "Shrinking Whip", arrived at Taoyuan Village.

And Shui Xian knew all this early on, otherwise he would not have arranged for someone to help him transport the hundred thousand shi of grain out of the Grand View Garden.

Now the other party mentions that "there are also" fiefdoms.Is this implying that Shui Xian also has the same secret as the Grand View Garden, or that the garden that Shui Xian is looking at now is a place with a story just like his Grand View Garden?

Jia Fang was uncontrollably surprised, and immediately began to look around, re-examining the elegant and unique private garden in front of him.Shui Xian knew that he understood everything, and immediately turned his head away, looking at the inscription on the inscription "with whom to sit in the pavilion", and softly recited: "Who to sit with? The moon is clear and the wind is me... To be honest, I can I never expected to find someone like you in this world..."

"I don't really like to share with others, I don't like to share the scenery in front of me with others, and I don't want to share secrets with others. But you are different." Shui Xian turned his head again, looked at Jia Fang with deep eyes, " Ever since I saw you for the first time, I wanted to tell you that you are very different to me..."

Jia Xin's head moved quietly, seeing you for the first time?

He also remembers the first time they met very clearly. At that time, the identities and circumstances of the two were very different. Who would have expected that the two would slowly get closer and closer to where they are today?

His heart softened in an instant, as if he had drunk wine, he was a little bit erratic, thinking that even if he was destined to leave this time and space in the future, would he still have the right to enjoy such a, A perfect relationship with someone who understands and who is accompanied by someone?

But the premise is that he can explain clearly to Shui Xian about his origin and future, otherwise it would be too cruel for the other party.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, footsteps could be heard in the distance, and a woman's voice said anxiously: "Young master, young master, run slowly and be careful!"

Jia Fang: ...Young master?Shui Xian's child?

Shui Xian... also has children?

He has never thought about this issue before, Shui Xian has always shown himself as a lonely family, and the only friends he gets along with on weekdays are the Fourth Prince, Lin Ruhai and a few friends.Therefore, Jia Fang never thought that there is actually a young master in Shuixian Mansion? ! ——But after all, there is still a prince to inherit in the family, and it is natural to have an heir.

But this is unacceptable to Jia Fang.He is a person with a certain "cleanliness" mentally. In the early years, his mental cleanliness once broke out in front of Shui Xian, in this garden-that time it turned out that Jia Fang had misunderstood, and he immediately said Sorry, but this time...

Shui Xian was too kind to him, so good that he had no way out, so he had to face up to the relationship between the two that had gradually surpassed the meaning of friendship.

But now it seems that it is very important to keep a safe distance. He can't sink like this anymore. If he sinks deeper, he really can't get out.

So Jia Fang laughed a bit self-deprecatingly: "I was the one who was abrupt today—I didn't expect to meet the young master when I came to the mansion. I didn't prepare a meeting gift, so what should I do?"

Saying this, even Jia Fang himself felt very hypocritical, so he lowered his head to cover it up, reached out and fumbled for the purse accessories around his waist, to see if there was anything that could be used as a gift, and when he stretched out his hand, he touched Shui Xian. The "Heavenly Life" seal that was given to him was cool, which made him feel a little sad suddenly - it turned out that it was not so easy to get out.

Shui Xian suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist tightly, without any room for him to break free.

"Jia Fang!" This time Shui Xian called his full name, with a serious tone and sharp eyes, almost reminding Jia Fang of the time when he misunderstood Shui Xian in this garden last time.

"Come, meet my nephew." Shui Xian seemed to finally realize that he had frightened Jia Fang, let out a breath, and let go, but his expression was still serious, and Jia Fang should not be misunderstood.

"Shui Rong, come to meet Uncle Xian's friend." He greeted the garden, then turned to Jia Fang, and whispered, "It's a child from another branch of my family, an orphan left behind by my cousin and sister-in-law... ...This title of the Shui family should have been inherited from that branch, but I never thought that that branch made a mistake and transferred to my branch..."

"I took him under my knees, and prepared that one day in the future, the prince of Beijing will return to the eldest house of the Shui family. And I have no worries about the future, and I can do whatever I want in this world."

There are people in this world who are keen on fame and fortune, and there are people who regard the prince as a burden. Shui Xian is the latter, and he actually made preparations early in the morning to raise his nephew, retire to the mountains, and live the life he really wanted to live.

Jia Fang then saw a lovely snow dumpling, accompanied by an elderly woman, slowly coming towards this side.The child was about three or four years old. When he saw Jia Fang, he grinned, smiled and bowed his hands, and said like a little adult: "I have seen... I have seen Uncle Xian's friend."

Jia Fang couldn't help smiling, and greeted him seriously: "My name is Jia Fang, and Uncle Jia Fang has seen Shui Rong."

This child was born quite well, with a small snow-white face, picturesque eyebrows, and baby fat on his face, as if he had walked out of a New Year picture.Jia Fang was overjoyed when he saw it, and said, "Your Uncle Fang didn't bring you a gift today, would you be unhappy?"

The kid shook his head and said, "Of course not! As long as Uncle Fang keeps it in his heart, it will be the same any day."

Tongyan Tongyu, extremely cute, diluted Jia Fang's previous unhappiness and depression a lot.He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Fang must keep it in his heart, and he will give it to you one day."

The older woman who followed Shui Rong was very terrified when she saw Shui Xian, she blessed Fu Cai and said: "Young Master said he wanted to take a look in the garden, he never wanted to disturb the lord and the guests."

Shui Xian only said: "It's okay. It's fate that Rong'er is here." Let him have a chance to clarify the matter, and at the same time test the other party's mind——

Today Shui Xian really didn't expect the child to appear suddenly in his garden, but he just appeared, Shui Xian just took this opportunity to see how Jia Fang reacted.

Jia Fang was indeed as he expected, a misunderstanding occurred, and his mind was instantly confused.But Shui Xian found that Jia Fang was very decisive, and almost immediately wrote on his face "I want to cut the mess quickly, and then withdraw", followed by sadness.

The effect of the temptation was achieved, and Shui Xian clearly saw that the other party was slightly injured.

Then Shui Xian only felt that his injury...may have been more severe.

When she was young, the woman pleaded guilty and took Shui Rong to play elsewhere. Shui Xian then turned her head to look at Jia Fang, and said, "I was in a hurry just now... Don't blame Zi Fang."

He hit too hard just now, and now Jia Fang felt a little uncomfortable in his wrist, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand to move his wrist.Shui Xian showed apology on his face, and said in a low voice: "I don't know how to explain it to you, I just hope you can understand—"

I hope the other party understands something... But Shui Xian was at a loss for words immediately, and couldn't find the right words, so he couldn't speak.His face was slightly flushed, there was a little sweat on his forehead, and a pair of beautifully shaped phoenix eyes were round and slightly flushed at the moment——I don’t know, I thought he had just swallowed a sea pepper.

Jia Fang blinked suddenly, nodded and said, "I understand—"

In other words, I am afraid that no one else in this world can understand this whole matter better than Jia Fang: he knows that in the future, Shui Rong will indeed inherit the King of Beijing, which means that Shui Xian keeps his promise and has no love for power and position at all. He left the entire palace to this nephew.

And Shui Rong is indeed close to the Jia Mansion, which is recorded word for word in the original book.Jia Fang couldn't help but not believe it.

Jia Fang wasn't just moved by the other party's frankness and sincerity - he had predicted what would happen next, so there was no reason to doubt Shui Xian's sincerity.

In short, the person in front of him, for some unknown reason, left everything behind.

"Why are you so kind to me, why do you always reach out to help me when I need it most... I understand now." Jia Fang smiled at Shui Xian, "I feel very honored."

Jia Fang suddenly became so frank, Shui Xian suddenly panicked, he seemed to have foreseen what the other party would say, what decision he would make, and said quickly: "Zi Fang, don't rush to talk, don't rush to make a decision—— "

The situation took a turn for the worse, the tempter was tempted, and the people who thought everything was under their control suddenly began to doubt themselves.

Sitting with someone A sudden gust of cool wind blows through the pavilion, and the mirror-like calm water surface in front of the pavilion is patterned with a layer of fine and dense water waves.

In the affairs of the world, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.Sometimes the direction of the wind also switches quickly.

"I'm here today just to tell you that I'm going to the south for a while, and thank you for taking care of Rong Mansion." Jia Fang's tone was so calm that he seemed to be sitting here with someone just now. " Zhong sat down, nothing had happened before.

Shui Xian has completely lost the previous laziness and ease, with a somewhat slumped face, he reached out to rub the center of his eyebrows.

"I heard that you also have a fief." Jia Fang continued with an unusually brisk tone, "I really want to make an appointment with you—let's compare and see who can make more noise in our fief and do it. How about making greater achievements?"

Shui Xian: ——?

What this little guy actually proposed is... the two of them will build together, go hand in hand, and manage their "fiefdom" well?

"You really think so?" Shui Xian asked.

Jia Fang nodded: "I really think so."

They are not hypocritical people, and they don't have the gene to torture each other, so why do they have to get along with each other because of the feelings they have for each other, and force conflicts even if they don't have conflicts?

Besides, it's a great time, why don't you have a good career together?

As for what will happen after he completes the Grand View Garden, Jia Fang believes that time will give him the answer.

Shui Xian immediately got up from the "Beauty Recumbent", and paced back and forth in the sitting-with-who booth.The more he paced, the clearer his eyebrows became, and the more natural his expression became. After walking for a while, he nodded and said, "As you say, as you wish! We've made a deal."

Jia Fang immediately stretched out his hand and gave Shui Xian three high-fives, making an oath.

"Since the game is won or lost, what kind of prize will the winner get?" Shui Xian didn't remember asking this question until he clapped his hands high.

"It's decided by the winner." Jia Fang smiled confidently, "So it will definitely be decided by me."

Shui Xian immediately lowered his eyes, lest the smile in his eyes be too obvious: "You have never been to my fief, and you dare to say so... Bravery is commendable, courage is commendable!"

"Really? You may have only seen the [-] shi of rice I sent from the fief once?" Jia Fang certainly would not show weakness. Master!"

Shui Xian: "Very well, within a year, I will definitely invite you to be my guest on my territory—if you want, you can also be the 'master'!"

It can be seen that Shuixian really let go of a big stone in his heart, and even started to joke.Jia Fang gritted his teeth and smiled, got up and said goodbye: "Don't forget today's appointment! By the way, Mr. Ren of Baigongfang said hello for me. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to his place recently. Craftsmen can come to my house to find a pair if they need something. arts……"

"Let them not forget to take literacy classes..."

Jia Fang thought of one thing and said one thing, and he had already walked out of the seat with whom, and kept turning his head, reminding him in various ways.

Shui Xian stood in the pavilion, agreed, and waved to Jia Fang with a smile on his face.It wasn't until Jia Fang's figure turned a corner and disappeared that the smile on Shui Xian's face gradually faded away, and a little sadness appeared between his brows.

"I just hope that this will allow you to stay here for a while longer."

In Taoyuan Village, Gui Xiaxue, a teacher of the Faculty of Science at Xiaoxiang Academy, received a notice from the Outreach Office asking him to participate in the reception of the government investigation group from Wuyuan County the next day.

Gui Xiaxue pushed the book in front of him and complained: "This will delay my research and teaching work."

The clerk of the Outreach Office is a young man about the same age as Gui Xiaxue. His surname is Qi Yesheng. He is an immigrant from Yujiang. He has just passed the diploma examination recently, submitted a job application, and was allocated to the newly established Outreach Department as a small employee .

Hearing Gui Xiaxue's complaint, Qi Yesheng quickly said: "The main reason is that you have previous experience in Wuyuan County, and the people who came here are all your old leaders and colleagues, so I think it would be more appropriate for you to come forward, and the other party will also Feel lighter."

Wuyuan County is not the first investigation group to visit Taoyuan Village. The other two counties bordering Taoyuan Village have already been there before, but they all came here with trepidation. After learning that Mr. Jia had gone to other places for "investigation", Qiqi, the two county officials, was frightened and said sadly, "This Mr. Jia must have gone to our county for a 'private visit'."

The people in Taoyuanzhai quickly explained: "No, we Mrs. Jia like outings very much, and we have been going to other places for 'private visits' in the past."

The two county venerables were frightened and fainted when they heard this, and sighed after being rescued, "It turns out that Mr. Jia has already visited our county for a 'private visit'!"

The Taoyuan Village Outreach Office summed up the experience and lessons, and felt that there were some differences in communication between the two parties, and the other party easily heard some obvious ambiguities in some terms commonly used in Taoyuan Village.Therefore, the Outreach Office thought of asking Gui Xia to learn from him.

And Gui Xiaxue is indeed a busy person, not to mention teaching in Xiaoxiang Academy, he has been helping the "Jinhua Textile Factory" to install waterwheels recently.

The people in Taoyuan Village were very strange at first, wondering what the relationship between the waterwheel and spinning and weaving was? ——Who knew that when the big water wheel was installed, it was rushed by the water, and it creaked and turned, which actually drove all the large machinery in the textile factory to turn, and more than 30 spindles turned together at the same time. To pull the yarn, the women only need one person to look here and take care of that, and when necessary, stop the machine, twist the yarn end, and the yarn can be spun.

The people in Taoyuan Village were dumbfounded when they saw it: How much more efficient is this spinning than doubled?Originally, one person spun one spindle of yarn a day, but now more than 30 spindles can be spun in one or two hours?Textile mills are too late to prepare materials—most of the time, machines wait for people, rather than people waiting for machines.

Gui Xiaxue was not satisfied at all, and instead devoted himself to the study of water-powered looms, and how to move the looms used by women to weave with water-powered transmission devices.

Although he has not successfully developed a hydraulic loom, Gui Yaxue's address among women has changed from "Xiaogui" to "Gui Teacher" and "Gui Immortal".The people in the village looked at the young book office from Wuyuan County next door, and they gradually began to admire him, knowing that it was Mr. Jia who had a sharp eye and discovered a talent.

But at this moment, Qi Yesheng saw that after Gui Xiaxue listened to his words, he was still unmoved, and immediately took out a small stack of circulation coupons from his pocket, held it high above his head, and said: "Mr. Here it is, or you can take it!"

Gui Xiaxue stared at Qi Yesheng, and laughed with a "chi": "If I dare to ask for your allowance, someone from the discipline team will definitely trouble me later, so let's forget it. For your sincerity, I will give you money tomorrow." Follow you to receive Yuan County Magistrate."

In addition to the inspection team, Taoyuan Village has now set up a disciplinary team, which mainly focuses on the financial discipline of the various groups in Taoyuan Village. The Finance Office is the most important inspection object. The disciplinary team will go to the Finance Office every now and then. Chat with Lao Jin and Lao Tu, take stock of accounts and the like.

At other times, the disciplinary team will also go around asking questions and listening to the opinions and complaints of the villagers.If Qi Yesheng contributed all the allowances to Gui Yaxue, and then turned around and complained about it to the disciplinary team, Gui Yaxue would have to suffer. Earlier, the village chiefs of the three villages received too much gifts from the villagers of their own villages. He was also found out by the discipline team, and a public self-criticism was made in the village, so now everyone knows how good he is, and Gui Xiaxue dare not make mistakes.

Qi Yesheng was overjoyed immediately, and said, "Thank you Teacher Gui!" He turned around and ran away.

Gui Xiaxue flattened his mouth: "Those people from Wuyuan County..."

He is now recalling the time when he was a book office in Wuyuan County, and he feels that it is very unreal, as if it is a completely different world, and the difference from Taoyuan Village is very obvious.

But he also remembered that Jia Fang said that sooner or later, Wuyuan County, the surrounding counties and towns...even the whole state, the whole south, and the whole world will change.This made Gui Xiaxue's disbelief: Does Mr. Jia really have such great abilities?

Early the next morning, Gui Yaxue followed the Outreach Office to the side of the road from Taoyuanzhai to Wuyuan County to meet him.Seeing Yuan County Magistrate's sedan chair slowly approaching from the opposite side, Master Li walked beside the sedan chair while talking with the people in the sedan chair.

As soon as he saw Gui Xiaxue over there, Master Li immediately threw down the sedan chair, with a smile on his face, he ran all the way and rushed over, rushed to Gui Xiaxue, stopped, and held Gui Xiaxue's hand affectionately There was a shake.

Gui Xiaxue immediately felt a heavy silver ingot stuffed into his hand, and in front of him was a flattering smile of Master Li: "Xiao Gui! With you here, Master Yuan can rest assured!"

"You must point out Master Yuan a lot!"
