The two sisters were happily nodding to each other in affirmation.

But Cheng Jing suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him, and his face immediately turned ugly.

"Big sister, how can you say that? Who says that Lu Jing definitely doesn't have that intention? Aren't feelings something that can be cultivated? Besides, our third sister is beautiful and has a good family background, so how can she not be worthy of Lu Jing?"

Chengyu was the first to start arguing back.

"That's right."

He deliberately hid behind and agreed loudly.

"And then there's that female official. How come I've never heard of such a thing? How could a woman be an official? I think she's probably just a liar using chicken feathers as a token of authority."

"Besides, I don't intend to do anything to them. They came from afar, so what if I, as the host, greet them and try to gauge their attitude? It's nothing."

Cheng Yu said this nonchalantly, not even taking a female official in name only seriously.

Didn’t the previous county magistrate lose his job because he offended her family?

In Shu County, there is no one they are afraid of.

"Anyway, you two should be careful. I've been busy with the matter of finding a son-in-law and don't have time to take care of you. You'd better behave yourself and don't cause trouble."

Cheng Jing sighed and gave earnest instructions.

"Oh don't worry sis, we've never caused any trouble."

She deliberately retorted, and then the two sisters went back to the house hand in hand.

Cheng Jing looked at the backs of his two sisters helplessly.

These two little girls are really too spoiled.

"Little brother, I'm busy these days, so when you have time, pay more attention to my two sisters."

Cheng Yi, who had been sitting next to him, didn't say a word from beginning to end.

It was not until Cheng Jing told him this that he nodded obediently.

Lu Jing and the others, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, naturally had no idea what the Cheng sisters were thinking.

The next day, after discussing for most of the day, Zhao Jun and his colleagues had already come up with a preliminary plan.

It’s the same routine as in Ba County. First, find a basic repair team, and then spread out step by step from the prefectures and counties.

Xiao He and his colleagues were already quite experienced in these matters, and with Lu Jing's help, the recruitment of workers went smoothly.

Cement roads in the states and counties were the first to be paved.

There is one good thing about Shu County: there are not as many county towns here as in Ba County.

And they are mainly concentrated in several large areas. The roads within the county are relatively easy to travel, but the roads leading to the prefectures and counties from each county are a little complicated.

However, with the example of Ba County, the mountain roads in Shu County are not that complicated.

The road construction progressed very quickly, and Xiao He was able to take on a lot of responsibilities.

She and Lu Jing assisted on the side, which made the work more efficient.

Zhao Jun was enjoying the peaceful days of road construction, but the third young lady of the Cheng family was about to explode.

"Second sister, second sister, have you seen that? They are together every day."

Chengxin pulled Chengyu to stand on the street corner to peek at the three people who were having a heated discussion with the workers not far away.

"They have been together every day during this period. Look how nice Lu Jing is to that female official. Could it be that he has fallen in love with her?"

"Then what should I do, second sister?"

She deliberately twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly and complained with a sad face.

"It's okay, don't worry. I asked someone, and they're repairing the road. And they're not alone together. There are so many workers with them."

Chengyu secretly peeked over and patted his little sister comfortingly.

"That won't work either. What if that female official develops feelings for Lu Jing over time? She might even force him into doing it in private."

"Haha, that shouldn't be the case..."

The idiom was a bit awkward. My younger sister's imagination of the county magistrate was too much.

"That can't completely rule out that possibility."

He deliberately pursed his lips in rebuttal.

"Anyway, Second Sister, we still have to find an opportunity to meet that female official."

The idiom is a little hesitant.

"This lady official is repairing the road. She's doing a good thing. We should not make things too difficult for her."

Idioms still understand the basic principles.

"Oh, I know. I didn't say we had to make things difficult. We were just testing the waters."

She deliberately pulled her sister's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I'll find an opportunity as soon as possible."

Chengyu couldn't stand the little sister's coquettishness and quickly agreed.

Many people outside were unaware of what was happening in Shu County.

However, after wandering around for more than a month, Meng Yi finally returned to Xianyang and brought them news about the former Ba County.

As soon as Meng Yi returned to Xianyang, before he had time to enter his home, he received a summons from the king in the palace.

Well, now I don’t have to go home.

Meng Yi entered the palace with his bags of Ba County specialties.

Ying Zheng and Fusu had already been waiting in the front hall.

When they saw him coming in with bags, there was joy in their eyes.

However, Ying Zheng only curled his lips slightly, while his eldest son smiled and took Meng Yi's pocket and started to pick it.

"Wow, there are so many things, all of them are specialties of Ba County."

Fusu was extremely surprised and moved things out one by one.

Ying Zheng could only stand by and watch.

Meng Yi was stunned for a few seconds before he saluted and greeted Ying Zheng, and then repeated the basic details of the trip.

"Well, Lord Meng, thank you for your hard work on this trip. However, this trip also shows that the Xuanlong is indeed very convenient for sailing on the river."

"Go to the Mo family later and tell them about the situation. We must build more ships like this."

Ying Zheng returned to his seat and chatted with Meng Yi for a long time.

Fusu was still squatting there, flipping through the pages, completely different from his previous extremely reserved look.

"Father, look at how big this ginseng has grown. The master even sent back more than a dozen roots."

Fusu was so excited that Ying Zheng couldn't help but glare at him.

Fusu calmed down a little when he received the gaze, but he still looked very excited.

"Yes, those were all brought back by Lord Zhao. Ba County is very mountainous, so thousand-year-old ginseng is not rare in the deep mountains."

Meng Yi explained respectfully.

"Hey, what is this tightly wrapped thing?"

Fusu turned over something wrapped in several layers of cloth and asked.

As soon as he saw Meng Yi, he ran over and took the package from Fusu.

This is something that Zhao Jun asked him to deliver with great importance, so there must be no mistakes.

He carefully opened the package, revealing the intact bottle inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he respectfully held the bottle and handed it to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, this is the first bottle of wine that Lord Zhao produced at the Ba County Winery. He specifically instructed me to bring it back for Your Majesty to taste."

Meng Yi told a little lie very respectfully and without changing his expression.

Anyway, the things were brought back.

The first bottle and the last bottle have similar meanings.
