After hearing their story, Zheng Mo also burst into tears.
"You are all very good. You have suffered a lot over the years! In fact, before we met Prime Minister Qin, we were also suffering..."
He never dared to think back to the days back then. Those were simply not the days for human beings to live! Every day was like soaking in coptis water. Today, he couldn't help but think of the past, and he couldn't help it.
Ian patted him on the back to calm him down.
"Master, don't be too sad. The master said that our lives will get better and better in the future. You must take good care of yourself, live a long life, and enjoy more of the good life."
Although he had a hard life in the first ten years or so, he encountered almost no difficulties afterwards. Everything went smoothly for him. His career, family, and love life were all going extremely well. He felt that his life was worth it!
Qin Xingfu was in a very good mood today. He left court early and wanted to find out from Zheng Mo what talents were available. When he walked to the door, he heard Yian comforting him.
"Master, the master is here!"
Zheng Mo's wife quickly reminded him.
"What happened? Is it because of retirement?"
Zheng Mo tremblingly took out his handkerchief to wipe his tears and nose, and prepared to salute.
"No need to be polite, why are you so sad?"
Zheng Mo calmed down and said.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, sir. I'm so happy. Today is a triple blessing. I can retire and I found the complete Mohist Scripture. The Qin family also found it. I'm so happy that I'm crying."
Qin Xingfu then noticed that there were a few children nearby and nodded slightly.
"My lord, this is Qin Shuang and their brothers and sisters."
"Meet Prime Minister Qin!"
Qin Shuang and the others were a little nervous and saluted her!
"Well, it's a happy thing, Qinshuang, you are the one who designed the house."
Qin Shuang didn't expect that she would remember him. She was a little excited, but she still restrained herself.
"It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning!"
Qin Xingfu waved.
"Don't be unconfident. The three of you were selected from 20 submissions, which means you all have good talents. Please sit down? No need to be polite!"
This is not the focus today, he turned and said to Zheng Mo.
"We are going to build an airport now. Do you have any talented kids here? Prepare some names. My school is going to open. It will take at least a year to build an airport. I will teach these people myself."
For a moment, Zheng Mo really couldn't imagine that the children of the Mo family all had their own talents.
"Sir, this is a bit vague. What specific aspects are needed? Why don't you go to various schools to have a look?"
"That's right. I'll go back and sort it out. Basically, they are talents in mathematics and physics. I'll give it to you in a couple of days."
Qin Xingfu got up and went back to sort out the talent conditions and related systems. Everything was not so easy to accomplish. Fortunately, she had read books for twenty years and covered all aspects, which saved her a lot.
"Mom, we still want flowers today!"
Qin Mingqi was pestering her and Zhang Liu couldn't find her.
"Be good, baby. When mommy is done with her work, I'll make you a flower that will never wither, okay?"
Pinching her little face, Mingqi was coaxed into submission immediately.
"Okay, okay! Mom, you go ahead and do your work first. My sister and I will be waiting for you!"
Mingqi never thought that her mother would lie to her. In her little understanding, her mother’s words were always true!
"Sister, mother, who will make us flowers that will never wither?"
Qin Wuji heard it and gave her the meat in his bowl.
"Okay, this is Uncle Wanda's fried crispy pork, sister, eat it!"
"Thank you sister!"
The two sisters were so uncomfortable sharing food in the corner.
Yinghou seems to have fallen in love with painting recently. Whenever he has free time, he starts painting. At first, he painted Qin Xingfu, and later he painted children, flowers, plants, etc.
"What did you draw today?"
Qin Xingfu entered the study and saw him putting the paintings away.
"Today is flowers and plants. I think I'm better at drawing people, not flowers and plants."
"Let me see!"
Queen Ying gave her the painting. Qin Xingfu unfolded it and her eyes lit up. It was an orchid.
"This is so lifelike, it's quite good. The dewdrops are painted so well, and you match the colors very well. It seems that you can become a great painter in the future!"
Yinghou was somewhat happy, but he was afraid that she was just trying to make him happy.
"really?"
"Of course! If you don't believe it, give it another name, have someone take it outside and ask them to give you a price. Don't buy this one at first, try something else first."
Queen Ying was made eager to try after hearing what she said.
"Then let me give it a try!"
Qin Xingfu was struck by his adorable appearance and hugged him and gave him a big kiss.
"Well, you paint here, I'll work over there!"
Qin Xingfu was a little reluctant to leave. She had been wanting to be kissed recently. Queen Ying looked at her with loving eyes and continued to hug her and kiss her. She hadn't kissed enough just now!
"Well……"
After the kiss, the two of them went about their own business, glancing at each other from time to time, both feeling very satisfied.
After writing the personnel selection system in one afternoon, Qin Xingfu remembered what she had promised her daughter, so she asked Fu Yuan to find a few bundles of silk thread. She found copper wire and began to make velvet flowers slowly.
Lingjuan was annoyed by his daughter's noise at home, so he came to see if Qin Xingfu had any good ideas. After all, he would be exhausted after just one day.
"Sir, what kind of flower is this? Why haven't I seen it before? Eh? This is a fake flower. It looks just like the real thing!"
"Auntie, look! These are the flowers my mom made!"
Ming Qi happily ran to her to show off. Ling Juan touched it and knew it was made of silk.
"Amazing! You are truly amazing! I want to learn from you too."
Qin Xingfu smiled.
"It's a very simple thing. Look, Jiaojiao can do it by herself."
Qin Wuji held up what he had made and showed it to Lingjuan.
"Wow! Jiaojiao is awesome, this is a plum blossom."
Qin Wuzhi's face was red and she was very proud. Ming Qi was a little discouraged. She didn't do it well. Qin Xingfu touched her head and said.
"It's okay, Qiqi is great too! Your hands are too small, when you grow up you will be able to do beautiful things!"
"Yeah, Qiqi isn't feeling bad anymore! Thank you, mom!"
Seeing Dan Yao and others coming back, she started showing off again.
"My mother made this for me! Hehe..."
"Sister, mom made it recently, you have one too!"
Mingqi pulled Queen Qin and said.
Qin Yue felt a little sour, and ran to Qin Xingfu and said.
"Mom, don't you love us anymore? Why are only my sisters and the others receiving presents recently?"
Qin Xingfu teased him on purpose.
"Because you sisters gave me kisses! You guys won't give me hugs and kisses anymore."
After saying this, he pretended to be very hurt. Qin Yue was a little conflicted and looked at Qin Ni. He still wanted the beautiful Huahua, so he gritted his teeth and said.
"Then give me a kiss and a hug, mom!"
Qin Xingfu was amused by his little look, and she kissed him on the forehead and said.
"Good boy, mommy will make something suitable for you."
Qin Ni also shyly moved his face closer. In fact, he really liked his mother's kiss, but his eldest brother said that they were grown up and couldn't kiss casually.
"Bo'er..."
Qin Shan and Qin Chuan were kissed as soon as they came back. The two little ones blushed with shyness. Qin Xingfu touched this and that, feeling very proud that such good children were hers!
She touched her belly, not knowing what kind of trouble the two babies in her belly would cause to the country and the people in the future, but she was quite looking forward to it.
Unconsciously, she thought of Gongshu Yuan again. She wondered how he was doing. Yian had returned, so when would they come back?
Liaodong
"Ah!"
The rainfall has returned to normal recently, and Gongshu Yuan was inevitably caught in the rain and caught a cold.
"Sir, drink a bowl of ginger soup quickly. The drought in Liaodong should be over now. We can go back to Xianyang."
It was the first time that Xiahou Mei had been away from home for such a long time, and he was very worried about his wife and children.
"Well, the spring ploughing has been solved recently, and we can go back tomorrow."
Gongshu Yuan looked at the tillers in the distance. People had smiles on their faces, no longer as desperate as before.
Liaodong is very large, with flat terrain and sparse population. A family can cultivate hundreds of acres of land, and some families with large populations can cultivate thousands of acres. It is one of the main grain-producing areas of Daqin. However, all this is thanks to the machines she made.
A lot of fertilizers were delivered yesterday, said to increase production. If he were still alone, he would definitely wait and watch the crops mature. He has never experienced the joy of a good harvest. However, the most important thing is to marry her quickly. There will be plenty of time for other things later.
Thinking of the wedding, Gongshu Yuan frowned, wondering if she had arranged it. He seriously suspected that the heartless man had not even thought about it.
Qin Xingfu had indeed forgotten, and it was only after Yue Xin reminded her that she remembered.
"Sir, before Gongshu Yuan left, he said that he would look at the date on June 18th, so why is there no movement yet?"
It's almost May. If I don't leave time to prepare, I'm afraid things will be very rushed later.
Qin Xingfu felt a little guilty for a moment. Thinking about how exhausted she was the last time she got married, she didn't want to make things that complicated again, so she frowned.
"Uh... I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. I see Yingbu has already taken action."
Yue Xin felt that if they were not there, the adults would not care about anything in the harem, but he could make arrangements. These things were very easy for him to handle, but it felt quite strange, just like other wives taking concubines for their husbands. Yue Xin smiled to himself.
"it is good!"
Seeing that he was so well behaved, Qin Xingfu threw him down.
"Kiss~"
Yue Xin happily hugged her.
"Slow down and be careful."
………………
Gongshu Yuan led his troops back to the capital early the next morning. They originally planned to leave quietly, but the news of their return became known, and many of the villagers in Liaodong took out the best things in their homes to give them.
"Sir, this is the cake made by my wife. It tastes very good. It will help you to fill your stomach during the journey."
A simple and honest man handed the basket of cakes to the soldier beside him, then left in a hurry.
"Sir, these are our eggs, they are already cooked."
An old woman handed them the boiled eggs. Gongshu Yuan felt complicated. He had been here for so long and knew the situation of these people.
"Auntie, this is too much. We may not be able to finish it all. We can just take a few."
Even though each household only took a little bit of what they sent, their carts were still full. Xiahou Mei, Liu Hui and others said to the people reluctantly.
"Let's all go back! Don't send me off."
They turned around and got into the car. Each of them picked up an egg and started eating. They cried as they ate and secretly swore in their hearts that they would do a good job and not let down these lovely people.
When they passed by the county magistrate's mansion, the county magistrate had already gone out to help with plowing the fields. The person on duty stopped them and went to notify the county magistrate to come back.
Liaodong County Magistrate Cong Fei rushed over covered in mud.
"My Lords, would you please rest here today? Let me thank you on behalf of the people of Liaodong!"
People have been traveling non-stop in Liaodong, but he hasn't even treated them to a meal.
"No need. We have to go back quickly. This is a map of all the water sources and rivers in Liaodong County. It rains a lot in summer, so we must be prepared to prevent floods. Some drainage ditches must be built in advance..."
Gongshu Yuan assigned these tasks to Xiahou Gui, and he gave clear instructions on each item, fearing that Cong Fei might miss something. After all, this also involved a lot of his hard work.
Cong Fei listened very carefully and wrote down some of the things he didn't understand.
When County Magistrate Wandai saw that he had no time to make arrangements, he asked someone to order the best food from the restaurant. It took half a day for the few people to hand over the matter, and when they had almost finished explaining everything, they were about to leave.
Bandai salutes.
"My Lords, it is already noon, why don't you have a light meal first?"
Xiahou Mei looked at Gongshu Yuan, and Gongshu Yuan nodded.
"Thank you!"
"It should be."
After a simple meal, Gongshu Yuan and his party set off. Even though the sun was scorching, it could not stop them from wanting to go back.
As they got along together, Liu Hui, Xiahou Mei and others found that Gongshu Yuan was relatively easy to talk to, and he even took the initiative to mention the matter between him and Qin Xingfu.
"Is it possible that good things are about to happen when Lord Gongshu returns this time?"
Xiahou Mei asked first, and Gongshu Yuan nodded with a smile on his face.
"Well, on June 18th, please come over for a drink at the wedding!"
"Of course! It's rare to drink the wedding wine of Prime Minister Qin's family. We were not qualified enough to drink the wedding wine of the master before."
Xiahou Xiu was still in the local area at that time, in Sichuan County, and was promoted only in the past two years. He kept up with the pace of the times and had outstanding political achievements.
"The clothes you wore at that time were the most beautiful in the Qin Dynasty. No one has surpassed them in all these years. This time, it will surely amaze the world."
Liu Hui was still an unknown person at that time. He was working as a waiter in a restaurant. He happened to see them passing by from upstairs. Just one glance at them stunned the people of the whole city for a long time.
When they got married, it was still the royal family that arranged the wedding, but this time it shouldn't be the case. I wonder how she will do it? To be honest, Gongshu Yuan was also looking forward to it. He would feel at ease only after she officially entered the family. Otherwise, he always felt that she would dump him at any time. Although she had a child, she was not an ordinary woman. He must hold on to her and not let her have any chance to regret.
On the way, several people talked about their wedding procedures and some etiquette. Gongshu Yuan listened very carefully and even took the initiative to ask about some details, fearing that he would be impolite and make a fool of himself.
Xiahou Mei and Liu Hui were both married, and they had some experience, so they shared their experiences with him.
