Jiang Shi led Lu Liang, Liu Mao, Zhou Fang and other officials from Tanzhou and Ningyuan to the stone monument.
Lu Fang naturally followed.
As he approached the stone monument, Jiang Shi coughed twice.
Lu Liang understood and immediately pressed his hands towards the crowd.
The crowd quickly quieted down and became quite cooperative.
"Dear fellow citizens of Ningyuan, I am Jiang Shi, the governor of Tanzhou..."
Jiang Shi started to talk about the scene.
It’s just that Ningyuan County’s outstanding performance in fighting floods is inseparable from the support of the people. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and support the county government.
After saying that, Lu Liang took the lead in applauding.
There was another wave of applause.
This made the smile on Jiang Shi's face become even stronger.
Not to mention whether he is a good official, but as long as he is an official, he will probably enjoy the feeling of being praised by the people.
"Now, I would like to ask the governor to unveil our first merit monument in Ningyuan!"
The applause dissipated and Lu Liang took over the conversation.
The applause started again.
At the same time, the gong and drum team also started beating hard.
The lion dance team worked hard to dance the lion in a lifelike manner.
Speaking of removing the color, it means just taking off the big red flower covering the stone tablet.
It's actually a bit boring.
At least Lu Fang found it boring.
But the people who came to watch the excitement obviously didn't think so.
Not to mention anything else, just seeing the governor of Tanzhou and watching the lion dance is not a wasted trip.
Their daily life is really boring, and there is not much excitement at all.
Then, Lu Liang started talking again.
When he had finished speaking, two government servants came forward carrying calligraphy and paintings.
This surprised Jiang Shi.
Then I heard Lu Liang say: "In this disaster relief, our King Ningyuan, the Xu family took the lead and donated generously, and we should set an example. When Master Yu, the former Hanlin scholar, heard about this, he specially wrote two words, asking me to send it to the king, Xu
The word "two families" represents Master Yu's praise and encouragement to the Wang and Xu families. He hopes that the two families can continue to lead the people of Ningyuan to fight against natural disasters and make a fortune in the future."
Then he looked at Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun, "Master Wang, Miss Xu, please come forward and take over the words!"
Wang Sidong swallowed his saliva directly.
Xu Ruoyun was also full of surprise.
Is there another one?
Even they didn't know about it beforehand.
The faces of the Wang family and the Xu family present were all shining.
Mother!
This time my face is exposed!
Even Bachelor Yu was given the title!
Who in the entire Ningyuan County has such an honor?
Immediately, Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun stepped forward quickly.
Jiang Shi glanced at Lu Fang without any trace.
To give Ningyuan a title just for this little thing, it seems that Lu Fang holds a lot of weight in Yu Yuanwei's heart!
He didn't believe that Yu Yuanwei took the initiative to write this word.
If Lu Fang hadn't mentioned it on his own initiative, would Yu Yuanwei know that the Wang and Xu families had donated the most money?
Moreover, Lu Fang took the lead in raising funds, and he knew this well.
Obviously, the Wang and Xu families are die-hard supporters of Lu Liang and Lu Fang brothers. Lu Fang is deliberately building momentum for them.
From now on, the reputation of the Wang and Xu families in Ningyuan will definitely be difficult to shake.
Lu Liang personally handed the plaque to Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun.
Both of them were so excited that their faces turned red.
What is given to the Wang family is "goodwill and charity".
What was given to the Xu family was to "help those in need".
This gold content is not low.
Suddenly there was thunderous applause.
Wang Sidong's face flushed instantly.
He used to be a character similar to an unlucky guy. When had he ever been so supported by others?
Jiang Shi suddenly spoke up and said with a smile: "As far as I know, Mr. Lu played a major role in fighting the flood this time! This shelter was Mr. Lu's idea, right?"
Lu Liang nodded quickly, "Exactly."
Jiang Shi said again: "Not bad, not bad. You are lucky, Magistrate Lu, to have such a brother..."
This was also a deliberate attempt to mention Lu Fang in front of the crowd.
Anyway, Lu Fang received a lot of admiration points instantly.
Maybe, there are still people in the crowd who don't know that it was his idea to build the shelter.
Speaking, Jiang Shi waved his hand.
Soldiers brought from Tanzhou came up holding a plaque covered with red cloth.
Jiang Shi said to the crowd: "Ningyuan County has set an example for other counties in this flood. I, on behalf of the Tanzhou Prefecture, will give you a plaque."
There was thunderous applause again.
Jiang Shi unveiled the red cloth amid such applause.
"Model County for Flood Control".
The applause was even more enthusiastic.
This plaque is the common honor of the people of Ningyuan County. Among the crowd, only Liu Huafeng and Li Zhaonian looked a little gloomy.
Lu Liang received the plaque on behalf of the people of Ningyuan County.
At this point, the monument erection and unveiling ceremony is coming to an end.
Jiang Shi waved his hands to the crowd and walked towards the carriage.
A group of officials he brought from Tanzhou also followed.
Lu Liang, Liu Mao and others naturally got on the carriage one after another.
This time, Lu Fang and Lu Liang did not take Jiang Shi's car. Instead, they boarded the county government carriage.
…
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Some got on the carriage, and some walked. They were in small groups, talking and walking.
Flood fighting has become a hot topic again.
Lu Fang received a lot of admiration points from this.
Of course, there is also hatred value.
Liu Huafeng and his gang are probably still itching their teeth with hatred right now.
A few carriages came from the Wang and Xu families. At this time, they also followed the crowd towards Ningyuan County.
But Wang Ye sat in Xu Zhilou's carriage.
"well……"
They were originally talking about Yu Yuanwei's plaque, but suddenly, Wang Ye sighed softly.
Xu Zhilou wondered: "Why did you sigh suddenly?"
Wang Ye said in a waning mood: "In the end, I let you, an old boy, get the advantage."
Xu Zhilou was puzzled, "Why am I getting a bargain? What? It's just that your Wang family gets a plaque, but our Xu family gets it, so you're not happy?"
"Is this the kind of person I am?"
Wang Ye was a little depressed and said: "I just think about how that brat of mine behaved in front of Mr. Futai, and he laughs like he has never seen the world! In the future, Ruoyun will be the one to take over all the business of our Wang family.
Just an idea. This brat is not a big business guy."
"Ha ha!"
Xu Zhilou was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You old boy can have a daughter-in-law like my Ruoyun, just enjoy it secretly! You can get an advantage and behave well!"
"Be good?"
Wang Ye said with cross eyes: "Why do I feel that all the foundations I have worked so hard to build in my life are all named after you, Xu?"
As he spoke, he laughed again, "But this brat of mine should have a sensible woman to take care of him. Otherwise, my family business will be ruined by him."
Xu Zhilou glanced at him and said: "That bullshit surname is Xu. When Ruoyun gives birth to a child, why not take your Wang family surname?"
"hey-hey."
Wang Ye suddenly smiled even more happily.
Seeing him like this, Xu Zhilou was a little annoyed, "I know that boy of yours needs to be taken care of. When Ruoyun of our family gets married, you will take more care of him. Don't always think about helping your son. This girl of mine must know someone."
Generally speaking, if you are bullied in your family, don't blame me for falling out with you."
"Don't worry!"
Wang Ye said: "I treat Ruoyun as my own daughter. If they have any conflicts in the future, I will definitely deal with this brat in my family first!"
Xu Zhilou hummed twice and stopped talking.
Wang Sidong obviously didn't know that his father sold him out in just a few words.
