"well--"
Shi Hong sat in the yard and sighed.
"Brother, you're sitting here in a daze again."
When Shi Yu walked in from outside, he saw his elder brother staring at the sky with lifeless eyes.
Fortunately, she was in a good mood today, otherwise she would have scolded him again.
"Um...where have you been?"
Shi Hong responded mechanically with an expressionless face.
"Oh, I just came back from Lord Zhao's place. She was feeding her cub with goat milk. I didn't expect that the iron-eating beast, which looks so fierce, actually likes to drink milk when it is young."
Shi Yu couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
"well--"
Shi Hong sighed again. Sure enough, he was talking about that little thing again.
Seeing him like this, Shi Yu shook his head and moved a chair to sit next to him.
"Brother, do you really like her?"
Shi Yu asked seriously.
"Nonsense, I don't like that I can spend so much time chasing after you."
Shi Hong glanced at her sideways.
"Really? Are you sure it's not your pride that's getting in the way?"
"Brother, you used to like a lot of girls. All you had to do was beckon them, spend some money and say some nice words, and they would come to you. But after a while, you stopped liking these girls."
"Besides not having a wife, look at how many people are already in your yard. You don't like those girls anymore, right?"
Shi Hong said stubbornly.
"But I haven't treated them unfairly. I still give them money and have servants to serve them. Their lives are much better than before."
Shi Yu ignored him and continued.
"But Lady Zhao is different. She is indeed very special. Isn't it her specialness that attracts you to her? Your usual tricks to pursue her are no longer effective."
"So your self-esteem is hurt. Are you desperately trying to get her to prove your ability? Do you still like her?"
"Once you really catch up with her, won't you stop liking her after a while?"
"But Lady Zhao is different. She won't be trapped in the harem like your other women. She's a court official. If that day ever comes, she can just walk away and won't be controlled by you at all."
Shi Hong was silent, not knowing whether this had hit the nail on the head.
As Shi Yu spoke, she even became a little angry. Her elder brother was good in every way except that he was too casual in terms of feelings.
She shook her head to dispel the anger and sighed.
"Brother, give up. I don't think Lord Zhao will like you."
After saying that, she ignored Shi Hong's expression, waved her sleeves and left.
Only Shi Hong was left staring at the sky in silence.
Shi Hong murmured for a while.
"Is that really what I think?"
At this time, more than a month had passed since Zhao Jun and others left Xianyang.
Ying Zheng didn't expect that the letter from King Zhao would come so quickly.
According to his speculation, Zhao Jun would not be able to remember this for two or three months.
Why did it change so quickly this time?
Ying Zheng suppressed the corners of his mouth and opened the rather thick letter with some excitement.
Three seconds passed.
He slammed the letter on the table.
"Go and call Fusu."
Sun Cheng was standing nearby and was about to ask what was going on when he heard the king's order and immediately walked out.
It took Fusu half a day to rush over from outside the palace.
"Father, what happened?"
Fusu rushed into the palace with an anxious look on his face and asked.
"Nothing. Lord Zhao sent me letters from Ba County. There's one for you. I've read it."
Fusu finally felt relieved and took the envelope with some joy.
When I opened it, I found that it recorded some daily life and also described the scenery of Ba County, which was very interesting.
Fusu glanced at the letter briefly, put it away and stood up.
He glanced at the obviously thicker envelope left on Ying Zheng's desk.
That must be the letter you wrote to your father. Why is it so thick? It’s much thicker than your own.
Fusu silently complained in his heart.
But soon he no longer felt aggrieved because Ying Zheng gave him the remaining thick letter.
"This is what she wrote to Juzi. It seems to be some drawings. You can take it to the Mo family later."
Fusu looked at his father's unhappy face and smiled awkwardly.
Oh, it’s for the big guy…
Juzi was originally studying the steam locomotive drawings that Zhao Jun gave her before he left.
After so much effort, we finally have some clues, and now we have received a blueprint of the ship mooring.
Fortunately, the principles of these two things are similar, otherwise Ju Zi might not be able to win.
This is such a sweet trouble.
Juzi sighed, and then devoted himself to research even more frantically.
On Zhao Jun's side, the panda cub's injuries have almost healed.
I can already run and jump around in the yard by myself.
Chai Wu has already led people to pave most of the roads in Linjiao County with cement.
Chai Wu and his team have been really popular during this period.
Ever since the first cement road became known to everyone, all the people in the county have respected them very much.
Building such a road in the mountain city has brought convenience to everyone, and many people are very grateful.
Chai Wu was somewhat proud, but he did not forget that this was mainly due to Zhao Jun's contribution.
So after Chai Wu and his workers spread the word, the people of Linjiao County all knew about Zhao Jun, a female official from Xianyang.
I am also very grateful to Mr. Zhao.
"Sir, Chai Wu is almost done with the project in Linjiao County. Now it's time to have them build those sections of gravel roads that aren't too difficult, as planned."
Xiao He sat aside and asked.
Zhao Jun held the cub in his arms and kept stroking its furry head.
