The rushing water went straight into the canal, alleviating the disaster in Shenyang.
Afterwards, the prince brought handwritten letters from the Qiang people and the king of Southern Xinjiang, ordering the construction of three dams in the Ten Thousand Mountains within the Qiang territory, the Ten Thousand Mountains within Southern Xinjiang, and the Ten Thousand Mountains within the Great Zhou territory. The locations of each country were marked on the map of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and each country built its own dam.
Xie Qing sent the two kings' handwritten letters back to the capital by express horse. The three countries agreed that no matter what the reason for the future war, the dam would not be allowed to be moved.
The dam project benefits the country and the people, so the emperor has to agree. Moreover, whenever two countries go to war, they must treat civilians well.
The disaster relief work went smoothly, and Lu Yan's reorganization of the army also went extremely smoothly.
As soon as he returned to Shenyang Post Station from the Nan'an Army, he received a letter from Wu Ziya.
"Pregnant!" Lu Yan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the content of the letter. This is his second child! Ever since Bai Wanyi gave birth to Ping'er, she has not been able to get pregnant again. Now he is finally going to have a second child!
As for the child in Aunt Qi's belly, Lu Yan did not value it. She was just a concubine and was of no help to his career. At most, she could serve as his grandmother's nephew on his behalf.
When Aunt Jia heard the news, her face changed and she quietly threw away the contraceptive soup she had just grabbed.
Jiayue strongly disapproved of her doing this: "You are confused! We..."
"I know what you're going to say. You're going to say we're spies for the Fourth Prince, and having a child means we're tied down and can't make correct judgments." Aunt Jia was incredibly lucid at this moment. "We're spies, like floating duckweed. If we die, we die. If I can leave a little bloodline in this world, it won't be in vain."
Jiayue had no way to persuade him anymore at this moment and could only sigh.
Bai Wanyi in the capital city didn't know that her family was going to have a new baby. She had been detained in the Ministry of Works for more than two months and had no idea what the situation was like outside.
There were many craftsmen and officials in the Ministry of Works, and she was constantly asked to do something every day, so she was as busy as a top.
Finally, now that the matter was over, the emperor released her.
Bai Wanyi looked at the sky outside and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally out! With my achievements this time, let alone a mere county lady, even a princess can be easily defeated!"
The creation of the telescope was such a great achievement. Is it reasonable not to give her the title of a princess?
Moreover, during this period in the Ministry of Works, whether it was the craftsmen or the officials, they all praised her, especially the Minister of Works, who almost worshipped her.
Bai Wanyi really told him everything she knew. She just liked to see the admiration in the old man's eyes.
She likes all the men in the Ministry of Works more, and their admiration for her is beyond words. After she dies, it won't be too much for her to ask for an official position, right?
Before leaving, Bai Wanyi hinted to the Minister of Works. It was a pity that women could not be officials, otherwise she would have many good ideas in her mind.
Can the Minister of Works understand?
She started as a small official in the Ministry of Works, but she didn't believe that she couldn't be in the court?
Bai Wanyi finished her fantasy, feeling relaxed and refreshed. She hadn't been out for over two months and missed her own shops. She immediately said to her maid Chuyun with high morale, "Let's go to Heytea! No, Shuangxi Teahouse!"
Chu Yun saw that no one was there to greet them at the gate, and she felt something was wrong. She pulled Bai Wanyi aside and advised, "Madam, let's go back to the mansion first. Logically, the Ministry of Works would have sent a letter to the mansion after we left today, but the mansion didn't send anyone to pick us up. This doesn't seem right."
Bai Wanyi waved his hand and said, "The Wu family is in charge of the mansion now. Will she let me have an easy time? Forget it, let's go to Shuangxi Tea House."
"Then I'll go find a car." Chu Yun said.
Bai Wanyi took Chu Yun's hand and started walking: "You've been detained in the Ministry of Industry for several months, haven't you gone crazy? I'm almost going crazy. Now let's get out and take a walk, just to get some fresh air."
Chu Yun swallowed his words back into his stomach. No matter how much trouble there was in the mansion, at least nothing would happen to Bai Wanyi. This man was an official in front of the emperor, and his talents were so great that even the Minister of Works would be impressed.
It's this brain...
Chu Yun looked at Bai Wanyi and didn't think any more about it.
Bai Wanyi had had enough of the dishes sent to the Ministry of Works by the imperial kitchen, but he had never expected that the Great Zhou would also have boxed lunches. These were all working meals for officials, just like modern boxed lunches, a mahogany lunch box with five small compartments, three main dishes, one side dish, and a serving of rice. The soup was a pot of soup sent directly to the Ministry of Works, and he had to get it himself.
I didn’t expect to experience the life of a corporate slave in my previous life again in Da Zhou.
Now that Bai Wanyi has come out, the first thing he thinks about is eating.
Passing by Qianxiang Tower, Bai Wanyi directly pulled Chu Yun in and said, "Waiter, let's go to a private room."
The waiter asked with a smile, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Appointment?" Bai Wanyi had never been to Qianxianglou and didn't know this.
The waiter smiled and said, "If you want to go to the private room, you need to make a reservation. If you're in the lobby, there's still one seat available."
The seats in the lobby are not always available, and Bai Wanyi happened to arrive by chance, so there was a seat available.
Bai Wanyi was also hungry, so she went over to order some food. When she saw the fish sashimi, her eyes lit up. She pointed at it and asked, "Is this sea fish?"
The waiter laughed and said, "You're joking. Sea fish is hard to come by. This fish sashimi is made with fresh whitebait."
"How many parasites will that take?" Bai Wanyi muttered and ordered a few hot dishes that would not go wrong.
Chu Yun was standing aside and was about to serve Bai Wanyi dinner, but she pulled him to sit beside her: "There are not so many rules here, everyone is equal, sit down and eat together."
"Thank you, Madam." Chu Yun bowed. As soon as she sat down, she saw a maid come in. She looked at her carefully and said, "Isn't this the maid who served Madam Yu?"
The two of them were sitting in a relatively secluded place. From where they were, they could see what was ahead, but the people ahead could not see them.
Bai Wanyi watched the maid arguing with the waiter for a long time before leaving in a huff. She asked curiously, "Are you here to reserve a table? You don't look like it."
Chu Yun had been in the capital for a long time. Although he usually stayed at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and rarely went out, he had heard people say, "Qianxianglou never delivers food. Judging from his expression, he probably wants to take it home to eat. After all, it's difficult to reserve a private room at Qianxianglou."
"Not delivering yet?" Bai Wanyi was quite surprised, but after looking at the new dishes on the table, she understood: "These river and seafood dishes should be eaten freshly cooked. If they are taken back, the taste will change and it will ruin the reputation."
Chu Yun didn’t understand this, he just thought it tasted good and ate a lot without realizing it.
Bai Wanyi had eaten too much, so after paying the bill, she staggered towards Shuangxi Tea House.
Bai Wanyi saw the sign of Shuangxi Tea House from afar, but found that there was no one queuing at the door!
