"This wine is much more refreshing than the fine wines I drank before. I wonder where Madam Gu bought it from? I'll ask someone to buy some later."

"It is a blessing for this wine that the young master likes it. However, it cannot be bought outside. It is made by the cook at home. I will have someone send some to Fu Yue Tower when the time comes."

"In this case, I will accept Madam Gu's kindness."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business.

"I heard that everyone in the streets and alleys is talking about the things happening in the east of the city. Master Yan is very capable. He has easily ignited the enthusiasm of this place."

"Speaking of this, I would also like to thank the Gu family and the Su family for their help. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where I would be reborn as a human being now!"

After saying that, Yan Zhiqing raised his hand, picked up the wine glass, and toasted the two of them.

Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi also returned a glass, speaking in a calm tone with a hint of guilt.

"Please don't mention this matter again, young master. After all, it was our decision that forced you to leave your homeland."

Gu Shaoyu's words were suggestive, and even if outsiders heard them, they would probably think that he was asking Young Master Yan to leave Jinling and come to Cezhou, and nothing else.

When Yan Zhiqing heard this, his hand paused.

Then I felt relieved. I thought about how my life over the past twenty years had not been as exciting as these two years, and I felt very emotional.

"General Gu also said that we should not talk about the past. Now that I have accepted this name, I should do my best to serve the Daxing Dynasty. I will not think about the rest."

At this point, the three of them raised their glasses, and after drinking them all, it was just as Yan Zhiqing said, there was no need to mention the past anymore!

"By the way, young master, when do you plan to start the construction of the east part of the city? Everyone outside is watching with wide eyes. I'm afraid the three-year construction period cannot be delayed."

"No hurry, I'm still one person short of arriving. Once that person arrives, I'll take action immediately!"

There was a certainty in Yan Zhiqing's words, which made Du Jingyi a little curious.

"Do we recognize the person you are talking about?"

"Of course I recognize it."

"who?"

"Su Jilang."

"Brother-in-law?"

After these words were spoken, not to mention Du Jingyi, even Gu Shaoyu felt a little strange. The Su family had never been involved in construction, so even if Su Erlang came, he might not be able to get involved.

Seeing that both of them looked a little confused, Yan Zhiqing smiled.

"Brother Su brought back a few blond and blue-eyed people the last time he went out to sea. I have communicated with them a bit and unexpectedly learned that they are quite good at using small forces to achieve great things. If we want to use a large number of manpower to build it, the land in the east of the city will probably be too much. But if we can use this ingenuity, it will be much simpler."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu reacted quickly.

"You mean like a trebuchet?"

"That's right, but Hengli has basically only been used for military purposes before, and rarely involved in construction. If I can take this opportunity to study this process thoroughly, then in the future, no matter where in Daxing the city is built, it will become faster and better!"

After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's eyes were filled with admiration.

As for being an emperor, this "Yan Zhiqing" lacks decisiveness and ruthlessness, so it may not be a good thing for him to take the throne. However, he was instilled with the idea of ​​putting the people in his heart since he was a child, which made him more benevolent and righteous than others. Therefore, when he does things, he will think more about how to benefit the people.

This is a good thing!

Du Jingyi had never seen a catapult in the army, but he understood the general meaning, so after thinking about it, he felt that this method was very good, so he asked a question.

"When will my brother-in-law arrive?"

"Brother Su wrote in his letter that we can reach Cezhou in half a month at most!"

Half a month is neither long nor short, but since the east of the city has become famous, it is better not to let it die out.

Thinking of this, she suggested.

"The place in the east of the city should perhaps be renamed. Otherwise, offering a large sum of money to change the name of this place can help maintain its popularity!"

"This is a great idea. Madam Gu is indeed a capable person."

Du Jingyi and Yan Zhiqing hit it off immediately, so the two of them started discussing the matter, and her words reminded Gu Shaoyu of something that happened a few days ago.

After the ice and snow melted, every household in Cezhou City became active again.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Although there are not many officials in Cezhou, there are many merchants, so the ladies in the city love to hold banquets.

Sometimes this family is the host, sometimes that family comes out for an outing. It's really lively and bustling, but there is one thing: wherever there is a table, there will be Du Jingyi.

Invitations were sent one after another, and Du Jingyi never tired of attending the banquets. He never went alone, and most of the time he would bring his two nieces Jin'er and Nianjin. Sometimes, if his aunt and others wanted to go out, he would go together.

Therefore, people say that although she is the wife of a "powerful and high-ranking" general, she is not arrogant and is a noble person that everyone wants to "fawn on".

At first, Gu Shaoyu felt it was strange. In the past, the number of banquets in Sui'an City was three times more than that here, but she basically turned them down again and again. Why did she like attending banquets after coming to Cezhou?

Now it seems that it is probably still to build momentum for the east of the city.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyu looked at the lady in front of him with great admiration. The flying brows and gentle temperament when she spoke were always so appropriate that if he looked at her for a while longer, he would be deeply attracted to her.

After Zhiqing and Du Jingyi had reached an agreement, he glanced at Gu Shaoyu.

Yan Zhiqing had seen General Gu in various ways, including bravery, courage, fortitude, severity and cruelty, but she had never seen him as gentle and affectionate as he was today.

Thinking about the fact that he had been married to Madam Gu for more than ten years and there had never been a concubine in the backyard, Yan Zhiqing began to understand a little.

Some people are born to be fascinating.

For example, the Mrs. Gu in front of him had just had a thought for a moment when she was awakened by the shocking look of Gu Shaoyu, and immediately dispelled the thought in her mind without a trace.

When he looked at Du Jingyi again, he had no other thoughts except appreciation and admiration for his friend.

Only then did Gu Shaoyu feel relieved.

He thought that it would be better for his wife to have less contact with outsiders, otherwise everything about her from head to toe would be a source of endless speculation. Then he would not have to do anything in the following days but just stay by his wife's side and swat flies!

Unfortunately, Du Jingyi didn't find out about his complicated thoughts, otherwise, tonight would have been another sleepless night!
