The next day, Cui Weizhen went to the Yamen early.
Recently, he got up earlier than usual, because after finishing his daily official duties, he had to go to the ditch to inspect and patrol. After a busy day, he rarely had free time. Sometimes he couldn't even eat lunch at home.
The servant brought it to him.
Let’s talk about Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming’s two children.
Although it was Xiu Mu, the two children were not lazy. They got up according to the time set by Cui Weizhen and practiced boxing and archery. Finally, they added Cuju to their exercise program.
It was originally a team of two people, but since Ning Kang moved in, he has been added to the training team. The three children played back and forth in the martial arts field, and they were in good spirits.
Ye Zhenzhen has been determined to exercise since she came back from her last trip to the countryside. Unfortunately, after persisting for a period of time, she spent three days fishing and two days netting. Cui Weizhen was already used to her temper. Seeing that she could persist in studying the Four Books
For the sake of the classics, I turned a blind eye to this.
Although Ye Zhenzhen failed to insist on boxing, she did not fall behind in yoga.
As soon as she finished practicing a set, Cui Zhiduan and others ran to Mingxi Garden happily, followed by Ning Kang. Ning Kang also looked excited and said with a silly smile: "I heard from brother Zhiduan that Madam, you want to take them there."
I also wanted to watch the Cuju competition, so I begged Grandpa to let me go out."
He was supposed to have a medical course this morning, but Mr. Ning took pity on his grandson and finally agreed.
After hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen smiled mysteriously: "Okay, it's good that you're here, you can help me."
Ningkang: "???"
He scratched his head and asked the good brothers next to him in confusion: "Brothers, my wife has a favorite Cuju team. Do you need me to come and cheer for it?"
Cui Zhiming shook his head: "My aunt doesn't like watching Cuju competitions."
That would be strange.
Cui Zhiduan felt vaguely uneasy when he thought of his mother's temperament. Yesterday, her mother only said that she would take them out to play tomorrow, but did not say to watch the Cuju competition.
What’s more, my mother’s next instructions were even more strange: “Go and change into clothes that are more convenient for movement. Just wear the Hu clothes you wear when you play Cuju.”
It is true that wearing loose clothes and wide belts is like a son of aristocratic family, but the place to go next is inconvenient.
Cui Zhiduan and others were confused, but they still changed their clothes obediently. When they went to Fuxi Yuan to pay their respects, when they came back they saw Aunt Qiuwu leading a large food box to put it in the carriage. Cui Zheduan couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that we
Are you going for an autumn outing?"
"No, I won't be back at noon. There is our lunch inside."
Everyone became more and more curious about the purpose of this trip.
The carriage went straight out of the city, getting more and more remote. Cui Zhiduan and others leaned against the window and watched the autumn scenery around them slowly retreat. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Just when they thought they were going to the countryside, things suddenly became lively in front of them.
When I looked closer, I saw a group of young men in short brown shorts working hard. They were digging ditches with shovels, surrounded by piles of mud and sand.
This should be the place where government labor is located, but the strange thing is that the person overseeing the work is not a government official, but a person who looks like a steward of a certain mansion walking around, shouting: "Please pay attention."
Yes, this section of the canal was dug with the silver donated by my Duan family. The name of the river section should also be named Duanjia Canal. We can’t cut corners. Of course, our Duan family will not treat you unfairly. Today’s lunch not only includes Dabai steamed buns, but also
There is bone soup, I hope you can eat enough."
The men digging the ditch suddenly burst into cheers, no need to urge them, and their movements became more agile and vigorous.
