The workshop stopped working for three days, but Zhao Jun and Qing Liu were not idle.
Especially Qingliu, she took over the job of recruiting workers for the workshop and has been conducting recruitment interviews everywhere these days.
Determined to make up for previous mistakes.
Zhao Jun no longer took charge of the workshop's affairs and handed it all over to Qingliu.
She herself had something more important to do.
There was news from the Internal Affairs Office that Qi Min came to look for her two days ago, but went back when he heard that she was not there.
Zhao Jun then remembered that in addition to the Neishi Mansion and the papermaking workshop, she had not yet inspected the fish pond.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun hurriedly led his men towards the Wei River.
"But how did you catch up?"
Zhao Jun glanced at Meng Yi who was sitting in the front of the carriage and felt speechless.
"I had my day off today and was planning to visit some of the newly opened shops in Xianyang, but then I saw you driving out of the city with your group. Out of curiosity, I followed you."
Meng Yi sat in the front and narrated gently.
"Speaking of which, where are you going? You can't be going out again just after coming back, right?"
He turned his head and asked.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you just followed me without knowing anything. Really?"
"However, you have actually been to the place we are going this time. I was with you the first time I went there."
"On the banks of the Wei River?"
Meng Yi immediately remembered that the first time he was ordered to help, she dragged him to the Wei River and he didn't return until dark.
"Yes, since you are here now, why not come with me to see the changes along the Weishui River?"
She smiled as the carriage slowly moved along the track.
I remember that the last time she came was a little later than now, at the end of summer.
It is almost midsummer again. I wonder if the breeze and sunset by the river are still the same as before.
A year later, Zhao Jun and Meng Yi came to the banks of the Wei River again.
The breeze and green trees by the river are still the same, except...
"What's that big area? I didn't see it the last time I came here. And why are there so many more people?"
This is also Meng Yi's second time here.
The last time he came here, there was clearly only wind, trees and people fishing.
But why are there several rows of houses and a large fenced area not far away?
What is that for?
"Come on, I'll take you to see the world. That's the fish pond I raise in Weishui."
Zhao Jun smiled broadly, patted Meng Yi and walked straight over there.
She had just reached the fence and had not yet called Qi Min to open it for her when she heard a noise coming from inside.
"Who let you sneak in? You are thieves."
"I'm telling you, these are all our steward's things. How dare you steal them? I'll turn you in."
Zhao Jun recognized that the loud voice belonged to Sister Wang Ni.
No way, she just happened to see a thief when she arrived.
"No ma'am, you misunderstood. We just wanted to take a look, not steal. We can pay for the fish we caught."
A gentle male voice explained anxiously.
What was going on? Zhao Jun listened and then called Wang Ni to open the door.
Wang Ni was arguing angrily when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
As soon as she opened the door, before she could react, she saw Zhao Jun standing outside.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled widely.
"Sir, you are back. Come in quickly."
Wang Ni was so happy that she was at a loss, not knowing where to put her hands and feet. Suddenly, she saw Zhao Jun looking at the two men opposite.
Wang Ni's heart skipped a beat and she quickly explained.
"Sir, these are the thieves we just caught. There are very few thieves in the past few months, and they have all been caught by the guards. I just caught these two as well."
Wang Ni stood by and pointed at the two men and glared at them.
As soon as Zhao Jun came in, he glanced at the two young men opposite him.
The man was not too old, probably in his early twenties, but she felt that he looked familiar when she took a look at him.
They look familiar to me. Have I seen them somewhere?
Zhao Jun observed silently without saying a word.
One of the men couldn't bear it any longer.
"You don't understand me, we just stumbled in by mistake, you know that? Besides, I didn't catch many fish from you, so at most we'll just give you some money. Why are you calling us thieves?"
The man kept on talking like a machine gun.
The initially gentle man couldn't help but scold him.
"Alright Liu Ji, stop talking. You barged in without asking. This is our fault."
Xiao He pulled Liu Ji, who was shouting beside him, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
He was so unlucky to have such a trouble-making brother.
I was having a great time fishing by the river before, and when I saw something here, I came over to take a look.
Not only that, he didn't keep an eye on anyone and the guy climbed over the fence and ran in.
Not only did he run in, but when he saw the fish people were raising, he insisted on going into the water to catch two, saying that such fish were easier to catch.
Nonsense, I know that this kind of fish is easy to catch, but it’s obvious that someone is raising it.
Sure enough, he had just entered the water and I was about to pull him out.
The people came out and were caught red-handed.
Xiao He shook his head and didn't want to think about what had just happened.
Zhao Jun, who was standing opposite and watching silently, remembered Liu Ji's name when he heard the man call it just now.
No wonder they looked familiar. Aren’t these the two young men she saw by the Wei River last time?
However, apart from the face, the name Liu Ji also seems familiar.
Zhao Jun couldn't remember it for a moment.
Xiao He glanced at the girl who had just walked in.
This lady calls her "Sir", could this person be the one in charge?
He took a step forward, bowed, and smiled gently.
"Excuse me, sir. My name is Xiao He, and this is my brother Liu Ji. We really came here by mistake. I hope you can forgive us. We are willing to compensate you for any losses you have suffered."
The man said apologetically.
Xiao He?!
Now Zhao Jun finally remembered who this person was.
Is this the famous Xiao He who said, "Success and failure are both due to Xiao He"?
Then there is Liu Ji next to her.
Isn't that right?
Liu Bang?!
Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
For a moment, Zhao Jun wanted to faint.
Why didn’t I think of it when I saw them playing by the Wei River before?
"grown ups?"
Xiao He felt a little strange.
Why did the lady's expression suddenly change? Did they really get into big trouble?
Meng Yi, who had been following her, also silently pulled her.
Only then did Zhao Jun come to his senses.
She stared silently at the two people opposite for a moment, her eyes especially focused on Liu Bang.
Suddenly, an inappropriate thought came to my mind.
If she told Ying Zheng about this.
How long would it take for Liu Bang's body to appear in the well?
It should be soon.
