Chapter 441 The fifth family in Beijing?
Shen Zheng could be considered a qualified "tour guide" today. She and Yu Zhengqing walked at the front of the group, talking incessantly to everyone about the calcination and wonderful uses of limestone.
"Not only Lord Yu, Lord Ba and Lord Yang, remember to send people to explore the county carefully after returning to the county. Limestone is not a rare mineral. I have discovered limestone in Tongan County, so it is likely that there is limestone in the surrounding areas."
Ba Lezhan and Yang Zhou nodded repeatedly and took note of it.
Shen Zheng then brought them to the cloth workshop and introduced them to Sanhe clay.
"This kind of floor has many advantages and will surely become popular in the future. When the floor of the cloth shop is paved, Lord Ba and Lord Yang can come and take a look first."
Balezhan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling since he arrived in Xiahe Village.
He looked at Shen Zheng with admiration, and when his eyes glanced at a certain place, he was suddenly stunned.
"What..." He whispered to Ning Zhubu, "Look at the fifth Zhubu, she's a woman, right?"
What was the problem? Ning Zhubu was a little confused.
Although the Fifth Chief Book looked a little cold, how could her appearance be fake? Whether from her figure or appearance, isn't she a proper woman? It can only be said that this person is cold and hard-eyed, not easy to get along with, even the Yang County Magistrate didn't get a good look from her.
When he followed Balezhan's gaze, he was suddenly stunned and took half a step back as if frightened.
Looking at it this way, he seems... a little uncertain?
He swallowed, and slowly moved his gaze downward, finally stopping at the throat of the fifth chief clerk.
fine......
Ning Zhubu reached out and patted his chest. The fifth Zhubu had a flat throat, and her Adam's apple did not move when she spoke or swallowed, proving that she was indeed a woman.
But, but why did she look at Lord Shen with such an intriguing look?
Ning Zhubu pulled Ba Lezhan's sleeve and moved away from the people in front. He rubbed his arms and whispered, "Sir, I think the fifth Zhubu is creepy..."
Bale Zhan showed an expression that said "You really understand me" and rubbed his arms with him, "You saw it too, right? How can a woman look at another woman like that? Isn't that the same expression as looking at a loved one?"
He looked at Shen Zheng and whispered, "Although Lord Shen is indeed born with bright eyes and white teeth, and is kind-hearted, he also has a broad mind and loves the people like his own children. Oh, and Lord Shen is also very smart. Look at this limestone mortar and the cloth workshop..."
When Balezhan said this, his brows furrowed and his expression became complicated. He felt that his stubborn ideas of decades had begun to crumble.
"In that case...it seems reasonable that such a good man like Shen would attract the attention of a girl?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhubu's eyes widened and he cried out in surprise, "That makes sense? How could you think so?!"
He felt that the Lord must be crazy with joy today, otherwise how could he have such a shocking idea?
"Speak softly!" Ba Lezhan glared at him and put himself in his shoes and began to speak: "If one day, the girl in my family came to me and said that she liked Lord Shen..."
He coughed lightly, and with a look of uncertainty in his heart, he cast his eyes on the shoulder of the fifth chief clerk, "It seems... it's not that hard to accept."
As he thought about it, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
Lord Shen is a woman, so he probably won't have anything to do with his daughter, but who says he only has daughters? It takes a thousand days to raise soldiers, but it only takes a moment to use them. It seems like it's time to send out troops!
Ning Zhubu's eyes widened with disbelief flashing in them. This sudden shock made him speechless.
"You... your subordinate... you'd better not say anything. Lady Shen will definitely not agree. If these words get to Lady Shen's ears, she might even be unhappy."
"What do you think I am?" Ba Lezhan waved his hand lightly, "Don't worry about it, I know what's going on. As for a girl, we can just be friends. As for the fifth chief clerk..."
He glanced at her back and pursed his lips and said, "I was just wondering why she glared at me before we got on the carriage. I guess it was because when we were in the county, I was too excited and wanted to hug Lord Shen, and she saw it."
Shen Zheng, who was walking in front, pricked up her ears and finally confirmed that Ba Lezhan and the other man were talking about her.
How rude! The real owner is here, yet you are talking behind his back!
She turned her head suddenly, wanting to catch Balezhan and the other man in the act, but unexpectedly she was met with a pair of unfamiliar eyes.
The eyes were clearly black and white and so close that she couldn't help but take a step back and put some distance between them.
"Uh...you." Shen Zheng steadied herself and asked, "Are you the new county magistrate of Yonglu County?"
She had noticed this cold-faced woman who came with Yang Zhou before, and had guessed her identity in her heart. But Yu Zhengqing kept talking to her, and she temporarily forgot to ask.
The fifth chief clerk did not answer immediately. Instead, Yang Zhou, thinking of her cold and hard temper that was difficult to deal with, hurried forward to act as a peacemaker.
"Lord Shen, she..."
"In reply to Lord Shen, I am Diwu Tanwei, the newly appointed chief clerk of Yonglu County." Diwu Tanwei introduced herself in a gentle voice with a slight smile on her face. It was not difficult to tell from her expression that she did not think it was wrong to interrupt her superior.
Yang Zhou's eyes suddenly widened and he reached out to pick his ears in disbelief.
What did he hear?
Although he and Diwu Tanwei had only been together for a few days, when had she ever given him a good look, or spoken to him in such a gentle voice?
"Your surname is Diwu?" Shen Zheng had a liking for Diwu Tanwei, who was also a woman, and pulled her to walk side by side.
"The surname Diwu doesn't seem to be common in our Great Zhou. Where are you from?" she asked with a smile.
Diwu Tanwei looked at the place where her sleeves were pulled and chuckled, "In reply to Lord Shen, I am a person from Shangjing."
"City people..." Shen Zheng whispered.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said as she walked, "I am a native of Shangjing, but I seldom went out before, so I don't know much about the people of Shangjing. It's strange to say, but I always feel that your special surname shouldn't be unknown in Shangjing."
Yu Zhengqing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "From the Fifth Family of Shangjing? Do you know the Fifth Nazheng?"
This time, Yang Zhou and Diwu Tanwei were on an urgent mission. They only carried with them the documents for taking up the post. The official household registration information had not yet been delivered to Liuyang Mansion, so he did not know who the Diwu Tanwei was.
But as far as he knew, everyone in the Fifth Family of Shangjing had a strange temper, so he had never thought that the Fifth Tanwei was really from Shangjing.
