Chapter 75 Going Home and Looking in the Mirror
Fu Danjun couldn't help but look at her and asked, "You are..."
Wang Kang quickly came over and said, "It's my younger sister. I just asked her to buy some food."
Fu Danjun suddenly realized: "Oh, then let's go together. We can save time by taking a shortcut."
Xie Changsheng had originally wanted to spend some time alone together, but seeing Fu Danjun's happiness, he had no choice but to agree. "Why don't you hurry up and get the car ready, Captain Wang?"
He thought that Wang Kang would follow him as he left, but it turned out that Wang Zhiyao was standing there motionless.
She glanced at Fu Danjun and said, "This lady's clothes are a bit outdated."
Fu Danjun was about to talk about the riverbank when she suddenly interrupted him: "Oh? You mean my clothes?"
Fu Danjun looked down in surprise and said with a smile, "I left in a hurry and didn't have time to change."
Wang Zhiyao corrected her again: "And your bun doesn't really suit your face."
Fu Danjun didn't know why she was targeting him at first, until he noticed that the way she looked at Xie Changsheng was unnatural, then he understood what was going on.
But she just laughed it off. After all, the little girl was young and she thought she was just ignorant.
Xie Changsheng was very annoyed with Wang Zhiyao, but he didn't want to hurt her self-esteem.
After they had lunch and drank tea, Wang Kang came in and said, "Master, the carriage is ready."
Xie Changsheng took Fu Danjun's hand and stood up, but when they were going out, Wang Zhiyao squeezed in between them and forcibly separated them.
Fu Danjun felt like laughing, but Xie Changsheng was getting really angry: "Captain Wang, take your sister to another car."
What he meant was that he and Fu Danjun would not bring Wang Zhiyao to play.
Wang Kang sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled his sister away.
Not only did Wang Zhiyao refuse to obey, she also became angry: "Master, I have to lead the way."
Xie Changsheng frowned and said, "Three people in one car is too crowded."
Wang Zhiyao's temper flared up, and she said to Fu Danjun, "Go to the other car."
Fu Danjun was surprised, smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that she didn't move, Wang Zhiyao pushed her anxiously: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"
Fu Danjun was pushed several times and couldn't stand steadily.
A bullock cart was coming from behind. Fu Danjun's body tilted, scaring the bull, which almost stepped on her foot with its hoof.
Fortunately, Xie Changsheng was quick enough to come over and hug Fu Danjun.
This time, he would no longer tolerate it.
"Captain Wang, take your sister away quickly. I don't need to lead the way."
Wang Zhiyao hadn't expected this to happen, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean it, Master, don't be angry."
Xie Changsheng sneered, "I hope you go home soon and take a good look in the mirror!"
Wang Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then she covered her face and ran away crying.
Fu Danjun had already straightened her clothes and hair and advised, "Let's forget about it and go."
Xie Changsheng was still sullen and angry. Wang Kang came over and bowed to apologize: "My sister is young and naive. I won't ask her to come over to disturb me in the future. I hope the master and Miss Fu will not bear grudges against me."
Naturally, the two of them couldn't bother with him, as he was just a hired constable.
So, the two of them got into the car without any reason.
Unexpectedly, Wang Kang felt resentful, thinking that this damn woman was interfering.
The master would never scold his sister like that. Where did this damn woman come from?
Xie Changsheng's subordinates kept their mouths shut and never talked about Xie Changsheng's private affairs, so Wang Kang didn't know any inside information.
In the car, Xie Changsheng comforted Fu Danjun: "There's no need to bother with that ignorant woman. Even Captain Wang is only a temporary hire. We won't ask him to follow us when we leave."
Fu Danjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that petty."
The car stopped, and Xie Changsheng took Fu Danjun by the hand and walked for a while to the river bank.
Fu Danjun was shocked by the bustling work scene in front of him.
“Wow, so many people.”
Xie Changsheng pointed and said, "They are all repairing the river bank. I must make it as solid as a rock, otherwise I will not return to Kyoto."
In an instant, Fu Danjun felt the resolute aura in him and began to admire him a little.
Then, Fu Danjun walked along the riverbank and discovered the problem: "As the saying goes, water management relies on drainage, not blocking. No matter how high the dam is built, there will come a time when it can no longer hold water."
Xie Changsheng nodded quickly: "That's right, continue."
Fu Danjun continued walking forward and said, "I think we should dig a few more ditches nearby. When the flood comes, it will be discharged into these small ditches first, and then the water will be evacuated slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in charge of the embankment engineering sneered: "You are a woman, what do you know about repairing the river embankment? You are talking without any pain in your waist."
Xie Changsheng said, "She's the woman I brought with me, so she's naturally different. Hurry up and observe the surroundings to see if you can dig a small ditch."
Fu Danjun was quite embarrassed after being criticized, but felt a little grateful after Xie Changsheng saved his face.
And he actually respects my own ideas, which is really rare.
Soon someone came to report: "There is a wide area nearby, and we can dig a small ditch.
Xie Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Then mobilize the manpower and dig!"
Fu Danjun was so happy that his eyes became gentle when he looked at Xie Changsheng.
The two walked around for a while and found that clouds were gathering and it was going to rain again.
"Let's go back."
Fu Danjun smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
Xie Changsheng also found that he got along particularly well with Fu Danjun today. It can be said that they were in harmony with each other and respected each other.
In fact, Xie Changsheng had never been so harmonious with any other woman except that cousin.
On the way back in the car, Fu Danjun was a little tired and leaned on him naturally.
Fu Danjun himself didn't even notice that Xie Changsheng didn't move at all during the whole process.
"If we dig more ditches to disperse the floodwaters and build stronger embankments, people won't be troubled by floods anymore."
Fu Danjun kept harping on about this matter, then smiled and said, "I'm so happy that you can do it according to my idea."
Xie Changsheng was amused: "It's just a small matter, and you've been nagging about it all the way."
Fu Danjun retorted seriously, "It's not a small matter, it's a very big one. If you have this attitude, you won't have to worry about not being able to be a good emperor."
Xie Changsheng suddenly became irritated: "Okay, you talk too much."
Fu Danjun was stunned, wondering why he suddenly got angry.
Just then the driver outside said, "We're here."
Fu Danjun lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that they had arrived at the door of the inn.
"Actually, I'm happy that you value my words. It makes me feel that I'm very important in your heart."
Before Fu Danjun got out of the car, he smiled and said this.
Xie Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then got out of the car and asked, "Is that all? Is there anything else?"
Fu Danjun burst out laughing: "Also, you are a good person sometimes, not always evil."
As soon as the words fell, Wanyan Qi's voice rang out: "Dan Jun, you are back?"
For a moment, both of them were stunned. They never expected Wanyan Qi to appear.
To ease the awkward situation, Fu Danjun quickly said with a smile, "You've come just in time, Wanyanjun. Let's have dinner together."
