Chapter 141: The Empress Dowager Arrives 3

After learning that the Queen Mother was coming to Shangling today, we temporarily changed our original idea of ​​holding a grand check-in ceremony. Yesterday, we issued a notice to everyone in the slums, requiring all residents to move in overnight according to the long-established door signs.

This requirement is not difficult for them. It turns out that all the furniture and other things in their old houses are firewood. I took this into consideration at the beginning and added some carpenters to make some simple furniture for each company, such as tables, stools, beds, etc. It turns out that most people in the slums work at the docks. After the four companies set up ships, their salaries have been improved. After solving the basic meal problems, they also have some spare money to prepare some cheap but clean quilts and other items.

After they moved in, every household was busy pasting couplets and hanging lanterns. When the empress dowager arrived today, the whole community was as lively as a festival. People were wearing new clothes and smiling faces, waiting for the symbolic formal check-in ceremony of the reconstruction community.

Under the leadership of the Eighth Prince, the Empress Dowager and his party walked slowly towards the community along the cement road leading directly to the renovated community. The hard soles stepped on it and made a sound. The Empress Dowager kept staring at the road with small grooves on it. The paving material said it was a stone but it seemed not. There was a gap every 20 steps. How could such a large stone be used to pave the road? You said it was not a stone, but it was like a stone when you stepped on it.

Finally, she couldn't help it and asked the Eighth Prince: "Prince? What head did you use to repair this road? Isn't it like a stone in the Ai family?"

The Eighth Prince was about to answer, but the Eighth Princess Zhou Wu, next to the Empress Dowager, answered first: "When it comes to the emperor's grandmother, this is not a stone, it was the worker who used something called cement, plus stones, river sand, and water. After it was dry, it would become the path you saw now. It is harder than stones! And this cement can only be produced in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and this is a secret recipe for the four families!"

The Empress Dowager was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the road in front of her carefully, and stomped her feet, sighing: "The Ai family didn't expect that there was such a magical thing in this world!"

What surprised the Queen Mother slowly showed it in front of the Queen Mother along this road about three meters wide.

First, the one that appeared in front of her was an extremely exquisite pavilion with carved patterns and patterns painted. Both the writing and craftsmanship were all the best choice. There was a plaque hanging on the pavilion with the words: Remember the word "God" and two big gold words. In the middle of the pavilion, a large monument was erected. When the road called the cement road at her feet approached the pavilion, it was divided into two sides, and two semicircles were drawn on the ground to bypass the pavilion, and then a road was formed behind the pavilion. There were some trees outside the pavilion, and because they were afraid of dying after transplanting, these trees had only trunks.

After the empress dowager approached the pavilion, she first looked at the pavilion carefully, admired the carved patterns on it, and then walked slowly into the pavilion. Since the pavilion was not big, we were the only people who followed her in.

The Empress Dowager looked at the inscriptions on the foundation stele and the strings of names below, gently stroked the stele: Take the eight big words for the people to use for the people, and sighed: "A good sentence for the people to use for the people, the Eighth Prince, this is a great thing. If all the gentry of the Great Zhou Dynasty were like them, then why should I worry about not being able to enrich the country and strengthen the people!"

The Empress Dowager slowly retreated from the edge of the archway and looked up at the archway.

On the top of the archway, there are three big words engraved: Another village. On the side of the pillar, there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers!

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. This sentence is good at that time, and it is appropriate to call this village Youyi Village, but the word is a little bit a little. It is very close to cursive script when she frowned!

When the Eighth Prince and others saw the Empress Dowager's expression, they forced themselves to laugh. They had also experienced this situation at the beginning.

The Empress Dowager was a little confused at first. It was logical that she could write it here, which was a master's pen, but she really couldn't remember the font of the famous artist. When she saw Zhou Wu, the expression on her face was similar to hers. When she saw that the Eighth Prince and others were holding back their laughter, she asked, "Prince, don't you know that this calligraphy is from which master?"

The Eighth Prince pointed at me and said with a smile, "If the Empress Dowager wants to know that this is from the famous master, she has to ask Deng Long!"

The Empress Dowager turned her head toward me. I really had no choice but to say helplessly: "I have a letter from the empress dowager, this word is from the hands of the people! I originally wanted to invite the prince, but they all said that it was built by my master and I had to write it myself. There was no way, I had to do it myself!"

The Empress Dowager was stunned, as if she was quite surprised. She looked at me carefully, then smiled slightly and said, "You might as well, you might as well! Let's go, take the Ai family in and take a look. I heard from the maid that this was designed by you, and you have to tell the Ai family!"

I quickly bowed and said, "The people respect the order!" At the same time, I took a few steps forward and walked to the front with the Queen Mother and the Eighth Prince.

The entire renovated community, now called Youyi Village, under my leadership, showed its appearance unreservedly in front of the Queen Mother and others.
