Earthmoving tools, cranes, city wall construction, dragon-carved chariots, relief carvings... Zheng Quchi, how much do you still have that I don't understand?
Yuwen Sheng, dressed in ethereal white robes, seemed to blend seamlessly with the pristine elegance of the Thousand Trees Palace and the exquisite white stone carvings. Without careful observation, one would not immediately notice him hidden behind the large Buddhist niche.
He had already gotten his hands on the item, just as she was sparing no effort to create opportunities for him.
He evaded the guarding monks and entered the Five Ancestors' Platform in the Thousand Trees Hall, where he successfully found the "Shōda-bu-lüe-tā" (a map of the lower fields) hidden by Miku.
He saw that the final of the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" competition had ended and she had won the championship, but in order to continue to cover for him, she deliberately found an excuse to keep everyone behind.
Seeing how devoted she was to him, fearing that something might happen to him, Yuwen Sheng felt a sweet sensation in his heart, like eating candy. A faint smile appeared at the end of his wicked eyes.
But then he thought of the "Shimoda Bu Lue Tu" (a map of Shimoda), and his handsome face instantly darkened.
Julu Kingdom is truly cunning and has never given up its evil intentions. It secretly plotted and planned to launch a surprise attack on Ye Kingdom in July or August by taking advantage of the number of troops and equipment prepared according to the "Xia Tianbu Lue Tu". It can be said that Ye Kingdom has no power to fight back.
Xiatian is a secret military camp in Julu Kingdom. It connects the Nan Chen and Hong Sheng regions. If you go down the canal, you can reach Hushen County in Ye Kingdom, which is known as the "granary of the country".
They had a good plan. Once Husang County fell, the economy and food supply to large parts of the south would be cut off. If war broke out, how would Ye Kingdom survive?
He gazed intently at Zheng Quchi. She had now won the title of the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild". Even if her identity was exposed in the future, with the promise from the Gongshu family and the mediation of Gongshu Jiruo, she could still get away unscathed.
Thinking of the burnt candy bag, he slowly lowered his weak eyelashes, concealing the turbulent emotions in his eyes. Once thrown high, it vanished like a dream, shattered into pieces.
——
After the final, the Gongshu family will hold a grand ceremony to announce the winner of the final during the night of releasing the Seven Star Lanterns.
That night will surely be ablaze with the light of the stars, and various auctions of exhibits will be held within the temple grounds. Yongchun will also be invited to perform acrobatics, and there will be food vendors, people buying and selling goods, flower viewing, and other recreational activities, making it a lively and extraordinary occasion.
At that time, thousands of Seven Star Lanterns will float above the dark Cuiping Mountain, illuminating the entire summit of Yongfeng Mountain. The sky will be as bright and colorful as a burning cloud, a magnificent sight.
When the top team announced the results that night, Zheng Quchi was somewhat bewildered when she was informed that she would serve as a promotional ambassador and deliver a speech in celebration of winning the championship.
It wasn't that they were confused about what they were supposed to do, but rather about the series of procedures that Gongshu family had in place. No wonder Gongshu family had made the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" so successful, attracting countless craftsmen to compete fiercely for each session.
Look at these avant-garde ideas! Ancient methods have always won people's hearts. The propaganda techniques and ability to create momentum of the ancients should not be underestimated.
Since she was in that position and seeking her own interests, she naturally couldn't refuse even a small request from the organizers, but...
"I've heard that if a famous business hires a well-known person to endorse its products, they will receive a reward. I wonder if this is true or not?" Zheng Quchi asked with a curious expression.
At that time, they had already left the Thousand Trees Hall and returned to Wujue Temple. The other master craftsmen and finalists had all dispersed, but Gongshu Jiruo left Zheng Quchi behind to explain to her the arrangements for the winners of the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild".
When Gongshu Jiru saw that she looked upright, but her eyes betrayed her greedy intentions, he turned his head slightly, suppressed the uncontrollable upturn of his lips, and replied, "Although the Gongshu family is not a merchant family, we still have this custom. Afterwards, I will have someone send you your payment for your endorsement."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi smiled and said, "The Gongshu family can be called a family of conscientious craftsmen in this era. Then Zheng Qing will not refuse this kind offer. Thank you."
She was never stingy when it came to money. Even though she was so poor, she still had to support her family and provide food for the soldiers in the camp. No matter how few mosquitoes there were, she would try to earn as much as possible.
Mi Ku looked at Gongshu (the sucker) and said, "..." How come he didn't know that the Gongshu family had this custom?
He then looked at Zheng Quchi, his eyes filled with deep regret.
What a pity! Such a talented person, such a prodigy, not only possesses unparalleled skill in craftsmanship, but also has endless potential to be a shrewd businessman.
It's a real pity that we can't take it for the benefit of Wujue Temple.
Gongshu Jiruo rearranged a room for her and left people to serve her. He said, "I have already asked someone to prepare your change of clothes and accessories. After you have bathed and changed, someone will come to take you to the Star Gazing Platform."
"Do I need to change clothes?"
"After a long day, changing clothes can relieve fatigue. Besides, since you have achieved excellence, you should be dressed appropriately to be admired and to showcase the spirit of the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild in the best possible way..."
“Okay!” She stopped his long-winded speech and concluded directly, “I am dressed in rather shabby clothes, but I will change into your clothes and do my best to promote the Jichun Craftsmen’s Guild. Don’t worry.”
It's normal for a boss to make demands when you're paid to do something; she understands, she complies, and she just follows through.
——
As dusk fell and the last rays of the setting sun were about to disappear from the horizon, Zheng Quchi entered the bathroom, but instead of bathing, he casually splashed the water in the tub, making a sound...
Because the clothes sent by Gongshu Jiruo were too complicated and complicated, with three layers inside and three layers outside, she only put on her inner garment, and then the maids helped her change into this set of formal and luxurious clothes. They combed her hair, put on her crown, and applied a light layer of makeup...
