Chapter 70 Blind date meeting? Starting ceremony? 3

The weather in Shangling the next day seemed particularly good, with clear sky and cloudlessness. Although it was already early summer, due to a light rain in the morning, the air in Shangling seemed to have been washed and looked particularly fresh.

According to the imperial calendar, the best time to start construction was in the morning, but I thought that the high-ranking officials and nobles in Shangling could not get up early in the morning, just dawn, and they could only postpone the ceremony time backwards. Of course, I did not dare to delay. I got up at dawn, put on the same clothes as workers, and planned to sit undercover. My second uncle and others also expressed opposition to my approach. After all, they were the head of the family, and they ran to mix with the workers, which was so unreasonable.

But when I thought that only by getting along with the workers could there be no gap between them and me, and under my leadership, some construction techniques were mastered as soon as possible. Their opposition was only invalid. As for the host of the construction ceremony, I arranged for the old man and Deng Jian to go. Deng Jian would take the exam for the top scorer in the future according to my plan. Through today's construction ceremony, I could meet many ministers of the previous dynasty and some celebrities from Shangling. With these people's tips in the future, I would be able to climb faster in the court.

When I arrived at the construction site, it was already dawn. Some servants from the Deng family were already decorating the site under the arrangement of Uncle San. They had to be in place such as chairs, tables, tea and snacks, etc., and some things used for the construction ceremony also had to be prepared. So the entire scene seemed busy but not messy.

I was led by a Deng family who was temporarily in charge of construction site affairs and introduced me to the workers' team. I was the head of the Deng family, a worker who specialized in managing and guiding them, and my position was a foreman.

After I stood in the second row of the line, I talked to them and bragged. At first, they were a little restrained because I was a foreman, but after a long time, I felt that I was not arrogant and talked a lot, and I didn’t speak like those scholars, so slowly we got together. Some of them were locals, and some were craftsmen hired from other places. In addition, no one would have thought that my head of the Deng family would come and get a group of workers. My head of the Deng family means that the head of the Deng family means, so I am not worried that anyone of them knows me. I have explained in advance to the Deng family’s children who know me, and I will definitely not be allowed to be with the workers.

I was respectful to me and called me Young Master. Even if someone called me the head of my family, they would just call me my name. Through conversations with them, I also knew the young man standing on my left, named Zeng Aniu, a local, and then Chen Tiedan, who was also a local. The two were of the same age and grew up together. On my right side was a middle-aged man from another place. He was simple, talked a lot, and had a cheerful personality. After getting along for a long time, he didn't call him his name. He all called him Uncle He! Originally, chatting was not allowed, but the Deng family members around him saw me in the crowd and I was chatting happily, so they pretended not to see anyone.

The workers and I stood on the right side of the platform, and the guests entered the venue from the left side of the platform. Their location was directly opposite the platform. Behind them, there was a bamboo pole to temporarily build an isolation belt, and the government sent people to maintain the order. The purpose of my arrangement was not to discriminate against the people, but to consider that I was afraid that there were too many people onlookers and too crowded to cause chaos. After all, the guests invited were all well-known figures of Shangling. If our arrangements were inappropriate and caused physical harm, the Deng family would be rude and would also damage the Deng family's face.

The facts proved that my arrangement was too right. The people did not have the habit of sleeping in. Before the dignitaries came, the entire scene was crowded with thousands of onlookers, and the number of onlookers was increasing. When Lord Qian saw this situation, he immediately transferred 90% of the yamen staff from the entire government office to maintain order, but it still seemed that there was not enough manpower. The only thing that was worthy of gratitude was that the onlookers was relatively abiding by the order. Although there were some minor frictions, no major riots occurred. The reason for this phenomenon was that the human nature was relatively simple at that time. Secondly, this project was a new home for the poor, and it did not cost a penny, which was completely considered a people-oriented project at that time. Therefore, the people respected the people of the Deng family, and no one came out to make trouble. Even if there was a little friction, both sides could restrain themselves.

The sun climbed up little by little, and many guests slowly arrived at the construction site. The Deng family arranged the names of guests who had specially registered, and some people were there to sing. The old man and Deng Jian were there, responsible for the reception. After a few polite words to the guests, someone arranged for them to sit in the seat.

"The master of Ouyang's hometown brings his granddaughter!" The servant who sang at this time shouted. In front of him, there were Mr. Ouyang and Feixue.

When the old man and the Deng family heard this, they immediately went up to meet him. Because of my engagement with Feixue, the old man went up and bowed immediately and said, "I wish you a happy uncle after I was young!" Deng Jian simply knelt down on the ground, not knowing what to call, but kowtowed three times.

Feixue was blessed and said, "Fexue pays homage to uncle!"

When Mr. Ouyang saw Deng Jian, he looked handsome and laughed: "This is Deng Long, it seems that Xueer has a good vision!"

Feixue hurriedly said, "Grandpa is wrong. This is Deng Jian, Deng Long's younger brother!" Deng Jian on the side looked embarrassed.

The old man was stunned and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the old man is confused! Where is that boy Deng Long?"

I had already explained to Feixue and the others to me, so she immediately replied: "Grandpa, Deng Long has gone far away for some time, so he is not here for the time being!" Even though she said that, her eyes looked at me.

When Mr. Ouyang heard this, he asked suspiciously: "Is that true?"

The old man immediately returned: "Uncle Qi, Feixue was right. The dog son did go out for a long time today, so he told me to receive you!"

"Oh," Old Master Ouyang said skeptically, and then saw Feixue looking at a group of workers, and he followed him. But in his eyes, there was no one except a group of workers who were dressed in the same way. At this time, the old man also asked someone to take them to the seat, so he had to put down his doubts and follow the person who led the way to the position.

When Feixue saw it, I looked at her, then smiled slightly, and she smiled at me, which meant to tell me to be careful.

"Look! That's Miss Ouyang, it's really as beautiful as a fairy!" Zeng Aniu next to me suddenly said when Feixue looked over.

"She's watching me laugh," Chen Tiedan said with a smile, "It's really beautiful!"

"You're not so stinking and beautiful. Miss Ouyang and Mr. Deng are born with each other. Mr. Deng said yesterday that he wanted to marry Ms. Ouyang!"

"Yes, Mr. Deng is a good person, they are the same couple. After all, my Ruhua is better!" Tiedan looked intoxicated.

"Haha!" His words attracted a lot of laughter around him!
