Chapter 147: Adopted daughter?

At this time, the supervisor trotted over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "My lord, according to the scale of the expansion of the wharf and the calculation of the construction period, there are quite a lot of masons and construction workers needed. look… "

"You come to ask me for advice on such a trivial matter? Then what do you supervisors need to do?" The house has a straight temper, and has never pretended to be a villain who only flatters and does not do practical things.

The supervisor is not useless, he just can't understand the temper of the imperial envoy sent by the above, and he dare not be good at it! Since the higher-ups are willing to delegate power to him, what worries does he have

When Yu Xiaocao heard that masons were needed for the port construction, she thought of her uncle. The little uncle has no other skills, and the work skills of a mason are still excellent. Since Brother Han's uncle is in charge of this matter, if it has something to do with it, don't use it, it will become invalid after the expiration date!

"General Fang..."

"What General Fang! You call him so outrageous!! Considering your family's relationship with my junior brother, you should call me Uncle Fang!" Fang Fangzhen still had a temper for this young and eccentric little girl. .

Yu Xiaocao was not polite to him, and smiled even sweeter: "Uncle Fang! Xiaocao has a small matter, I would like to ask you to do me a favor..."

"What a small thing?" Fang Fangzhen teased her.

Yu Xiaocao glanced at the supervisor, and deliberately pretended to whisper in his ear, but the volume was actually loud enough for the few people around him to hear: "Uncle Fang, the new port must require a lot of manpower? Did you come here, or are you recruiting now?"

Fang Fangzhen also deliberately lowered the volume, and said mysteriously: "The Ministry of Industry sent a few people over, and other than that, they were all recruited from the local area. What? Someone in your family wants to work on the dock?"

The supervisor has many doubts about the acquaintance between the imperial envoy and the fisherwoman who sells stewed vegetables on the pier. But seeing the imperial envoy's attitude towards the little girl, as if treating his own nephew, the slick supervisor naturally knew what to do.

He listened with his ears sideways, and heard Xiaocao said with a little embarrassment: "Uncle Fang, my little uncle is doing a good job of masonry! There is no one who doesn't know about our village! I heard that he also came to the pier Find a job...how about you test him?"

Fang Zizhen raised his eyebrows and gave a look in the direction of the supervisor. The supervisor said obediently: "What else is there to test? Girl Xiaocao recommended it, can there be any mistakes? Have you seen the new shed over there? Let your uncle go there directly later, and I will register there !"

Yu Xiaocao waved in Liu Zhiwei's direction, and said to him who trotted over: "Cousin, do you know where little uncle is? Tell him to come over quickly and register with this lord!"

"Registration? What registration?" Liu Zhiwei carefully glanced at the official uniforms of General Fang and his party, unable to turn his mind for a while.

Yu Xiaocao glared at him and said, "Of course it's the registration for recruiting masons... If you're told to go, go ahead and ask so many questions for what? If you miss something, see if my uncle can spare you!"

Liu Zhiwei took another look at the adults present, his eyes widened: I am so good! Sister Xiaocao actually got in touch with the adults in charge of the wharf renovation. Tsk tsk, Sister Xiaocao is so courageous, she doesn't change her face to the adults, if it were him, she probably wouldn't even dare to say a word! And what surprised him the most was that Sister Xiaocao was able to speak in front of adults? What is going on

Although there were thousands of questions in his heart, Liu Zhiwei suppressed the confusion in his heart, and ran to find his uncle like a fly. He knew very well what this job meant to his uncle and to their family.

It is difficult to complete the port construction within three to five years. That is to say, in the next three to five years, my brother-in-law will have a stable income, and the income will be guaranteed in drought and flood! I heard that the emperor attached great importance to the construction of the port, and even sent imperial envoys to supervise it.

There have been rumors on the pier for a long time that the workers involved in the construction of the pier will earn no less than the wages of the porters on the pier! Many dock workers have moved their minds and are going to the recruitment office to have a try!

Liu Zhiwei dug his uncle out of the crowd before the shed where workers were recruited. Liu Hao is exerting all his energy at this time, trying to squeeze to the front, the more he is in the front, the more hope of being admitted. But those who came to apply for the job were all big men who were used to rough work. With his not-so-burly body, how could he squeeze through others

Unable to defend himself, Liu Hao, who was pulled out by his nephew, said with displeasure on his face: "Zhiwei, what are you doing? I finally squeezed into the middle, and being dragged by you like this, all my previous efforts were wasted! What the hell is going on? Say it quickly!"

"Uncle, don't crowd these people! Sister Xiaocao has separated you and asked you to meet directly with the person in charge of recruiting!" Liu Zhiwei pulled the uncle away from the crowd, whispering excitedly typical.

Liu Hao was overjoyed, and lowered his face again and said, "Don't make fun of my uncle! How could Xiaocao know Supervisor Zhang? Even if he did, why would Supervisor Zhang give her face as a little girl?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Liu Zhiwei said anxiously: "Uncle! How could I make fun of this matter? Is it true? Don't you know when you go? Hurry up, the adults can't wait to leave! "

Liu Hao dubiously followed his nephew to Lao Liu's noodle stall, and saw a high-ranking official in official uniform, sitting on a stool like a sword, chatting and laughing with his niece. Overseer Zhang, whom he recognized, was by his side, laughing with him.

How had he ever seen Supervisor Zhang look so humble? Supervisor Zhang holds the right to recruit workers, and he always bosses the applicants around, and doesn't look at them at all. At this time, the person who always had eyes on the top of his head was actually smiling and listening to his niece. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it!

"Hello, my lords! Greetings to my lords!" After all, Liu Hao has helped the town, and he has more knowledge than the farmers who only know how to face the loess and back to the sky. He doesn't care about the doubts in his heart, so he will greet the adults first. !

Fang Fangzhen took a good look at him, nodded and said, "Yes! Not bad! You look very talented. I heard that you are good at masonry?"

"Caomin is terrified and should not be praised by adults! Caomin began to learn how to work with a mason in the town at the age of fourteen, and it has been fifteen years now!" Liu Hao also saw that he was the biggest official among the three, and replied respectfully.

Fang Fangzhen applauded and said: "Never arrogant or impetuous, and dealt with it properly! It looks like a practical person! Xiao Zhang, what do you think?"

"My lord's eyes are like torches! I admire you so much!" Overseer Zhang didn't forget to flatter him again, and asked a few questions about the construction in a show-off manner, and Liu Hao answered them all carefully.

Supervisor Zhang was also quite satisfied and said: "The person recommended by Miss Xiaocao is really good! Okay, follow me in the future! Can you write?"

"When I was young, I went to school for several years. Although I didn't read many books, I could read a few words. As for writing, it might not be so beautiful!" Liu Hao said modestly.

Supervisor Zhang seemed very satisfied with his knowledge, and said with a smile on his face: "We are not taking the imperial examination, why do we need such beautiful characters? Let's go, help me to register for recruitment... Xiaoliu, do you know any masons who are familiar with you? You can introduce it! After all, it is much easier to use experienced hands than those who have never been in contact... "

The little uncle's matter was settled so easily! For the sake of General Fang, the supervisor should not make things difficult for the little uncle anymore, right? Yu Xiaocao looked at the backs of Liu Hao and Supervisor Zhang, and smiled comfortably.

House Town has a smile on his face from the beginning to the end, this little girl who is an excellent cook, has a good temper with him! House Town has passed the year of destiny, and after settling down, he also married a wife. It may be the hidden wounds left by years of fighting. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he has no children under his knees. His wife persuaded him many times to accept several concubines, but he refused.

The emperor had sent an imperial physician to examine his and his wife's pulse many times, but they all came up with an answer. The reason was not with his wife, but with him! Although the imperial doctor reassured him that if he took care of it carefully, he should be able to get better. But after so many years, he gradually gave up...

Fortunately, the younger brother got married early and had a son. From now on, the younger nephew will be just like his son, and he will definitely use all his contacts to cultivate him! With his nephew's talent, his achievements in the future will never be inferior to him!

He has no children, so he will inevitably pay more attention to some sensible and interesting children. For example, his little nephew, or... this little grown-up girl in front of me!

"Little Grass! Be Uncle Fang's daughter, okay?" House Zhen felt moved and made a decision.

Wu Yun's eyes widened, feeling rather anxious. The general is a dignified third-rank official, and he is trusted by the emperor. As long as he opens his mouth and says he wants to adopt a adopted son and daughter, many officials in Beijing will line up to send the son and daughter. How could... How could it be possible to adopt a small peasant girl as a foster daughter just because of a bowl of noodles and a plate of stewed vegetables

He winked and cocked his mouth again, and made a clear statement when the hint failed: "My lord! This matter... Do you want to wait until you return to Beijing to discuss it with your wife before making a decision?"

House Town looks majestic and majestic, and makes the enemy fearful on the battlefield, but at home, he is a little afraid of guilt. It is said to be fearful, but it is not. It's just that he is more considerate to his wife and has a little more respect than others.

Fang Fangzhen squinted at his confidants, and said, "My wife wants a foster daughter more urgently than I do! Xiaocao is smart, sensible and well-behaved. Madam, she will definitely like it when she sees her!"

If it were someone else, when she heard that she was chosen as a foster daughter by a third-rank official, she would have nodded in ecstasy and agreed. But Xiaocao is not someone else after all! When the Supreme Emperor asked to accept her as his granddaughter, they could calmly refuse, let alone a third-rank military general

In other words, during the blind date, the two strangers were relatively speechless, and said embarrassingly...

Today is April Fool's Day! Beware of being deceived!
