On the way, Zhao Hao asked about his husband's illness again.

Xu Bangrui said that his father was fine during the New Year, but a few days ago, he suddenly fell and began to be bedridden, and his consciousness was not very clear, and there were even signs of incontinence.

Zhao Haoxin said that this is almost cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction and other brain diseases. The accurate memory of his previous life told him that the old man should have returned to the West in February of the fourth year of Longqing. There is less than a year of longevity......

Of course, there is no need to tell Xu Bangrui about this, and there is no need to persuade him to accompany Xu Pengju more, and the father and son try to reconcile without regrets.

In Zhao Gongzi's view of right and wrong, forgiving others is a virtue, but persuading others to forgive others is purely a matter of having nothing to do when he is full, standing and talking without backache, and he is disgusting.

So he just asked again, does Jiangnan Hospital need to send experts to visit him?

Xu Bangrui hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "There are several imperial doctors in Jinling City, and I am afraid that it will be too much to invite someone from the outside." Let's see how effective they are first. No, bother Dean Wan anymore. ”

"It's fine." Zhao Hao nodded and said no more. Xin said that it was fortunate that he did not persuade him to reconcile with his father......

After a short silence, Xu Bangrui said again: "By the way, Mrs. Zheng has been crying a lot in front of her father's bed recently. ”

Zhao Haoxin said, I also saw Chang Wei call for blessings. But he said solemnly: "I'm sorry, the law is unforgiving." If the sentence is not satisfied, the county will not release the person in advance unless the court grants an amnesty. ”

"I don't force you." Xu Bangrui took a deep look at Zhao Hao, and it was simple to talk to smart people.

He shook Zhao Hao's hand and said in a low voice: "My father is seriously ill and can't accompany you to Longjiang Factory." If you need help, just ask, although my father has fallen, the Wei Mansion will never fall. ”

The domineering spirit contained in this bland tone is simply beyond the reach of Zhao Gongzi.

There's no way, hereditary recklessness is like this......

~~

The carriage stopped Xu Bangrui at the Jiangdong Gate, and then continued to drive towards the stone camp next to the Yangtze River.

Looking at the fine rain outside, Ma Xianglan suddenly whispered: "The concubine doesn't like this person. ”

Zhao Hao smiled and stretched out his hand, held Sister Ma's Rouyi, and said slowly: "There are hundreds of thousands of families in Jianghuai, and they are in despair. ”

Ma Xianglan has a blue heart, and she has been with Zhao Hao for the longest time, so she naturally understands what he means. In the face of some overwhelming grand issues, personal likes and dislikes do not matter at all.

Even good and evil don't matter. The decision is between friend and foe, and it is only the position of both sides......

"Why did Childe carry these on his back?" Ma Xianglan stretched out her fingers distressedly and gently rubbed his slightly frowning brow. Finally asked the question that had been weighing on my mind for a long time. "You shouldn't have to worry about these things."

"Because who else is me." Zhao Hao grabbed Sister Ma's little hand domineeringly, and made her face beat enthusiastically, and the son seemed to have grown up a lot.

It's a pity that at this time, the Longjiang Shipyard arrived.

Seeing a convoy approaching in the rain, the officers and men of the lifting division guarding the camp gate hurriedly shouted loudly and interrogated.

After the guards revealed their identities, the officers and soldiers of the Lifting Division hurriedly ran in to pass the ceremony, and the God of Wealth came.

After a while, the closed gate of the shipyard slowly opened, and the convoy rushed in from the downstairs of Shuiguan Castle.

Pulling the window, Zhao Hao looked at the mottled vicissitudes of the stone wall, the incomplete watchtower, and the vicissitudes of perseverance in the rain curtain.

Well, purely the psychological effect of his over-agitation at the moment.

~~

Zhao Hao ordered the guards to park the carriage by the pond, and then got out of the car in the rain.

Ma Xianglan hurriedly got out of the car and stood behind him with an umbrella.

Zhao Gongzi looked at the rows of five-masted boats neatly placed in the pond, and his excited heart was about to jump out of his chest.

It was not early, it was raining again, and the shipbuilders had naturally finished their work, and there was silence in the huge shipyard.

Suddenly, the sound of clogs lapping the water sounded, and it was Yang Fan who was lifted by Longjiang Factory and rushed over panting.

"Didn't Childe say that he would come tomorrow?" After the salute, he asked with a breath.

"Can't wait, I can hear them shouting." Zhao Hao looked at these ships excitedly with the gaze of a general inspecting the soldiers under his command, and whispered in his mouth: "Go to sea, go to sea, don't wait for a moment......

Ma Xianglan behind her only felt distressed, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly turned her head away.

Yang Fan is not as sensitive and delicate as Sister Ma, and he eliminated Zhao Gongzi's lyricism with the thinking of a later generation engineer:

"Childe, I'm in a hurry. These boats are finished with carpentry, there are no hemp and tree oil to paint the walls and twists, and there are no dry oilers on the hulls, as well as cables, sails, and decorations...... I didn't do a lot of work. It will take two months to get into the water at the earliest! ”

"Didn't you say that forty ships had been built?" When Zhao Gongzi heard this, his excitement disappeared immediately, and he almost fell into the pond.

"The main carpentry work is really done." Yang Fan hurriedly explained: "The carpenters have already prepared materials for the other forty ships, and the construction will start in a few days." ”

The treasure shipyard built for the Western fleet is so capricious.

"I want a boat to get underwater!" Zhao Gongzi was so angry that his nose was crooked.

"It's not usually that urgent." Yang Fan lowered his head in fear, and muttered quietly in his mouth: "Even if you can go into the water, you have to test the sea for two months first, and then you can go to sea after the inspection is safe." ”

"Two months? That's four months? "Zhao Hao has the heart to eat this guy.

"This is already the fastest speed, and the ships customized by the imperial court are delivered in one to two years." Yang Fan lowered his head and rubbed his two fingers together: "Xia Guan has to be responsible for the two-hundred-year-old signboard of Longjiang Factory." ”

After a pause, he reminded in a low voice: "Besides, Childe, even if you give you the boat now, do you dare to go to sea?" This is a thousand sea ships, and the imperial court does not allow the people to own the ......"

"Uh......" Zhao Gongzi was speechless, only then did he realize that he was so excited that he actually forgot about this stubble.

The first voyage he planned would not have needed these ships.

Zhao Gongzi's arrogance disappeared immediately, glared at him and said, "Just let me get drenched in the rain?" ”

"Oh, please go into the government office to take shelter from the rain, the lower official has already prepared dinner, please be sure to enjoy the light." Yang Fan hurriedly said respectfully.

"That's pretty much it." Zhao Gongzi turned around and got into the carriage.

~~

The Lifting Division is a small two-entry courtyard, with the Yamen office in front and the Yang Fan's family living in the back.

The family was noisy, and Yang Fan was embarrassed to take Zhao Hao back. set up a table of wine in the lifting hall to entertain Zhao Gongzi.

"The food is good." Under the service of Secretary Ma and Qiaoqiao, Zhao Gongzi had dried his hair, changed into a robe of wool and green cloth, and came out of the side hall to sit down.

"It's all the blessing of the child." Yang Fan finally smiled: "The life of the craftsmen in the factory is better, and I, who should be promoted, dare to enjoy it a little, and I don't have to worry about being poked in the backbone." ”

ps. The fourth is more for a monthly pass, and it's gone today.
