Chapter 110 Dandy (2)
The group of people who came were none other than the sons of noble families in the capital who, like him, usually had nothing to do, so they went out to ride horses and walk birds.
The youngest son of the chief priest, although the chief priest is very talented, can only recite some romantic poems.
The nephew of the Guanglu Temple doctor. Although he is not the biological son of the Guanglu Temple doctor, his mother is Princess Heng. He usually relies on his sister Princess Heng and looks down on others.
How come the Minister of Works’ family is here too? With all this fat, does he want to compete?
At the same time Zhu Yi saw them, the other party also saw them.
The expressions on both sides' faces broke for a moment, and then they immediately put on smiles again.
"Oh, my Lord, why are you here too?"
Why is there another competitor?
It was quite a coincidence that they met each other.
They traveled from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River by water, and several people met on the same boat.
When they first met, they all said they were visiting relatives and friends, but when the boat docked, none of them got off.
Although the young masters were not ambitious, they still had some understanding of the relationships within the court.
They had already passed his maternal grandfather's house, but he still refused to get off the boat.
When they arrived in Lin'an, they were in perfect harmony.
But I haven't heard that any of them have relatives in Lin'an Prefecture.
"I heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, so I came here specifically to see it."
"That's right. I was really bored at home, so I came out to relax."
Some people spoke up bravely, and some people immediately responded.
So, everyone relaxed along the way, enjoying the scenery, and met again in Qingshan Town.
Until their carriages met on Renmin Road, they couldn't help but support each other.
"Forget it, since we are already here, let's go and take a look."
"That's right. If my family hadn't really told me not to, I really wouldn't want to come."
"My parents said that I should just come here to make myself familiar with the crowd."
......
Everyone talked it out. They were all playboys who got along well with each other on weekdays, so they had already discussed everything before walking these few miles.
Who knew that there were people who were faster than them.
Shen Tang looked at the wealthy young men standing at the door and wondered:
"Are you guys here to study too?"
study?
"Ah, yes, yes, we are indeed here to learn!"
"I hope the county lord can give us some guidance." Let us go home and give an explanation.
After a while, everyone sat around a table in the Shen family courtyard.
While Shen Tang was looking at them, they were also looking at Shen Tang.
Although Shen Tang was good-looking, she was still somewhat inferior to those top-notch noble ladies they had met.
Take the present for example, those noble ladies from aristocratic families dare not sit at the same table with them to drink tea.
All I drink is bland, tasteless water!
It's so rude!
Shen Tang looked at these people. Among them were young masters from outside the power center of the capital, as well as descendants of powerful families.
For a moment, Shen Tang didn't understand.
But it doesn’t matter. These young men look to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. In later generations, they would be at most high school or college students.
The bowl of water was soon empty, and Shen Tang broke the silence:
"I really don't know why you gentlemen came to Shenjia Village. I'm sure you saw it when you arrived. Shenjia Village and its surroundings are all ordinary farmers. You said you came to study, but Shenjia Village still doesn't even have a school. There really is nothing to learn.
Gentlemen, you have come all the way from the capital, and I believe you have some hidden agenda.
If you don't want to talk, Shen Tang won't ask. But now Shenjia Village and several surrounding villages are under construction. If you want to stay, please take care of yourselves and don't disturb the peaceful lives of the villagers of Shenjia Village and the surrounding ordinary people.
The playboys: Just come straight to the point and say it directly?
You've said it all, so what should we say?
Qiu Zhixue, the son of the chief priest, laughed out loud and said:
"What are you talking about, County Marquis? I'm just a nobody in the capital. I heard about the County Marquis's deeds and was filled with admiration. I came all the way to Jiangnan to learn from him myself, so that my family can also feel that although I lack the ability, I do have the ambition to make progress."
As expected of a family of scholars, these words were very beautiful. Everyone gave Qiu Zhixue a thumbs up in their hearts.
After Qiu Zhixue spoke first, others began to speak, but in the end, they just copied the same reason.
After listening to the speeches of these young masters, Shen Tang looked at their expressions and began to understand a little.
Suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he spoke happily:
"I see that you all have extraordinary bearings. Coincidentally, Shenjia Village and the surrounding villages are working together to build a road. If you want to learn, you can go with me this afternoon and help build the road.
only--"
Shen Tang paused as he spoke, and everyone looked at him eagerly and asked:
"Just what?"
"But this work is extremely tiring and difficult. I'm worried that you can't endure the hardship."
Shen Tang pretended to be reluctant to speak.
"Gentlemen, you are all people of noble status. If you get into any trouble in Shenjia Village, Shen Tang will not be able to bear the consequences."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, wondering what had happened.
He waved his hands and said arrogantly:
"Don't worry, County Lord. Although we are not talented enough to build a road, we have plenty of strength."
"That's right, why wait until the afternoon, you can go now!"
"County Marquis, lead the way."
These young men were full of ambition and those who didn't know would think they were going to do something heroic.
A quarter of an hour later.
Several people stood on the side of the road, and yellow soil was flying all over the sky.
Although it was already autumn, the sun in the south of the Yangtze River was still very scorching. After standing for a while, sweat was already oozing from everyone's forehead.
Looking at the people carrying shovels and digging soil and mud on the roadside, several playboys frowned tightly.
In addition to the young and strong men, they also saw several children carrying small stones in their hands.
For a moment, everyone felt mixed emotions.
"This is what you will do this afternoon, working with the villagers to build a road. However, if you find it too tiring, we can go back and I will treat you well."
Everyone understood the meaning, treated them well, and then let them go home.
Just as Zhu Yi was about to throw up his sleeves and leave, he was stopped by someone;
"Alright, alright, let's work with the people today."
He is Princess Heng’s younger brother, Ke Gaoyuan.
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Gentlemen, you are indeed worthy of being from the capital. Who says you are incompetent? I think you are the ones who truly care about the people. When I plant the late rice and submit a memorial, I will definitely include your contributions in it!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately started looking for stones and more tools.
Shen Tang said he would write a memorial for them!
That way it can reach His Majesty’s ears!
Work! Work hard!
Shen Tang looked at the enthusiastic faces of the few people and curled the corners of his mouth calmly.
And comfort the surrounding villagers;
"These are all nobles from the capital. They are... just like Minister Zhao, they are all good officials!"
Good official!
They are still officials now, and Shen Tang praised them as good officials!
Each head buried deeper.
"Old man, I'll do this job!"
