As soon as Feng Zixuan said this, the originally lively scene suddenly fell silent.
You have to know that in most people's minds, only the rich or the noble can afford to live in a blue brick and tile house.
A blue brick and tile house is an unattainable dream for ordinary people at the bottom of society.
But now, the villagers of Meijiang Village all live in such luxurious blue brick and tile houses, even though they were still worried about food a few months ago.
If even the poorest villagers in Meijiang Village can live in blue brick and tile houses, they will feel that they are fine again.
Su Sijin felt that Feng Zixuan's words undoubtedly dropped a bomb in the hearts of the people present, burning their hearts to a crisp.
Su Sijin probably understood why Feng Zixuan did this, but she planned to stay out of it and watch Feng Zixuan perform alone.
"Sir, please forgive my audacity. We old bones are half buried in the ground anyway, so we dare not dream of a blue brick and tile house."
The person who spoke was an old man with a hunched back, a cane, thin clothes and ragged clothes, and silver hair. He stood up and became the first to speak out.
Feng Zixuan bowed to the old man as a junior and motioned for him to continue.
The old man saw that Feng Zixuan was approachable and was not annoyed by his abruptness.
He gripped his cane tightly and continued, "Sir, a blue brick and tile house has no meaning to us anymore. It would be wonderful if my descendants could live in a blue brick and tile house!"
"Yes! We don't require it to be as luxurious and solid as Meijiang Village, even if it is only half of Meijiang Village, it will be fine." Another old man showed desire in his eyes.
"Even if I only have one or two blue brick and tile houses, I would be content."
"As for me, I don't dare to ask for too much. I just want a place to stay that's sheltered from the wind and rain."
More and more elderly people are joining the 'delusion'.
They dream of living in the fortress that stands in Meijiang Village today, but... it is not theirs!
He is from Meijiang Village!
Su Sijin looked at the lively and eager faces, her brows furrowed, and a flash of worry appeared in her eyes.
Wan'an Fort alone made them envious and jealous, longing for it but unable to obtain it. Wasn't Feng Zixuan's question just adding salt to their wounds?
Who doesn’t want a house made of blue bricks and tiles?
Everyone wants it.
But can it happen just by thinking about it?
As more and more people joined the "demand", Su Sijin didn't want to see the greed in some people's eyes, so she secretly signaled Zheng Jie and Shen Tingyun to go home.
Su Sijin asked Uncle Zhang to help greet the guests, "If anyone comes to visit, Uncle Zhang, please find an excuse to refuse!"
Zhang Bo was in embarrassment: "Where is Lord Feng?"
Feng Zixuan was the prefect after all. He held the highest official position in Ganzhou Prefecture, and he had connections in the government to help him get things done.
"Bring him to the main hall and then tell me." Feng Zixuan naturally wanted to see her, as she had something else to discuss with him.
After Zhang Bochao left, the courtyard gate was closed to block out the noise. Su Sijin returned to her boudoir on the pretext of being tired and needing to rest.
But when I just reached the door, I found that the lock on the boudoir was gone and the door was slightly open.
Su Sijin's eyebrows jumped, she took out a silenced pistol from the air, and entered the room quietly.
Su Sijin held her breath and scanned the room, not leaving out any corner, even under the bed, in the closet, under the chair, any corner where someone could hide.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew towards her. Su Sijin jumped and pointed the gun at the person who came.
But the other party was faster. As soon as he touched her body, the gun was unloaded by his opponent.
And restrained her hands, Su Sijin raised her thigh, hoping to give the other party a killer move.
But the other party, as if aware of her every move, restrained her feet again.
Trapped, Su Sijin couldn't help but say angrily, "Lu Changgong, you subdued me to show that you are capable, right?"
"Ajin, I knew you knew it was me." Lu Changgong was not surprised at all when he was exposed.
He was panicking because Su Sijin didn't know it was him.
"Let me go!"
Su Sijin ordered coldly.
"No, I haven't seen Ajin for a long time, how can I bear to let you go." Lu Changgong hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to embed Su Sijin into his body.
Su Sijin felt like she was about to lose her breath, being held back by Lu Changgong's uncontrollable force.
Su Sijin felt like she was suffocating, and found the right moment to give Lu Changgong an injection in the hand.
Lu Changgong let him go with a 'pain'.
Lu Changgong looked at Su Sijin with a resentful look.
Su Sijin had a cold face and didn't fall for his tricks.
She hasn't settled the score with him yet, so if he wants to take advantage of the situation, forget it.
Su Sijin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Lu Changgong, when did you send someone to 'monitor' me?"
Lu Changgong: "...You know?"
Lu Changgong looked at Su Sijin nervously. When he received the letter, he still had a lucky mentality, thinking that Su Sijin was not such a petty person and would not be angry with him because of such a small matter.
Because, in his understanding, Su Sijin is not the kind of person who would bother with such trivial matters, and his starting point is good, but he just can't find the opportunity to explain it to her.
I always thought that I would find a time to explain it to her, but who knew that Su Sijin would find out so quickly.
Also, Yunyu only reminded him halfway and not completely, which made him feel a little awkward when facing the angry Su Sijin.
"Yes! Don't you plan to explain?" Su Sijin crossed her arms and looked at him coldly. She was very curious about how Lu Changgong would justify himself.
In fact, I was only angry when I first knew the truth, but I was no longer angry or annoyed afterwards.
After all, Lu Changgong's starting point was good.
However, in order to prevent the situation of acting first and asking for permission later from happening again in the future, she wanted him to know the importance and necessity of mutual respect.
Even if she was no longer angry at him for acting without authorization, she still had to make him understand the seriousness of the matter, otherwise he would dare to act without authorization no matter how big the matter was.
Su Sijin would not allow such a thing to happen, even if it was for her own good. Feelings are a two-way street, and if you want to go further, sharing and respect are the basis.
Su Sijin listened quietly to Lu Changgong's explanation, and Lu Changgong made promises and admitted his mistakes.
Su Sijin sighed and took his hand.
Now that he knows his attitude and he knows he is wrong, there is no need for him to be so arrogant. Just let him step down after being given a way out.
Seeing this, Lu Changgong climbed down the ladder, hugged the person in his arms, and repeatedly assured him that he would not make such a mistake again.
Su Sijin responded softly, and the two hugged each other, enjoying the rare tranquility.
Suddenly: “…Gugugugu!”
Su Sijin was startled by the sudden noise and pushed Lu Changgong with a smile, "Go wash up first! I'll get you something to eat."
Even though he was embarrassed by his stomachache, Lu Changgong was still reluctant to let go of Su Sijin's hand.
Su Sijin smiled and coaxed softly: "The shower room is over there. There is hot water inside. Go take a shower first. You can eat when you are done."
