"When attacking a fortified city, a wise general will encircle three and let one, so as not to provoke the enemy to fight to the death, and recently found that someone is sneakily haunting the construction site, and made some adjustments, so that he can get what he wants, and send him away, so that he will not wander around here all day and be upset."

Lan Duo said curiously: "What you want, Zheng Peng, what do you give him?" ”

The two chatted while walking, and at this time came to the newly built cement road connecting the bridge and the official road, Zheng Peng stomped on the road with his foot: "That's it, county lord, look, that pit was dug by them." ”

"Deliberately let him succeed? Zheng Peng, what's so special about the cement floor here? ”

Zheng Peng pointed to the hoe on the side and said, "County Lord, you can try it." ”

Lan Duo picked up the hoe with some doubts, first knocked lightly on the road, nothing unusual, knocked a little harder, only heard a "bang", and smashed a pit on the road at once.

How so? Lan Duo remembered that after the cement was solidified, it was as hard as iron, how it became like solidified yellow mud, took a piece and put it in his hand, held it hard, and immediately scattered in all directions, and then dug a few times with a hoe, all digging a pit.

"Zheng Peng, what's going on?" Lando said in surprise.

"Simple" Zheng Peng said with a smile: "Use a little thicker sand, and then adjust the proportion, you can achieve this effect." ”

Lan Duo rolled his eyes and said a little speechlessly: "Good end, which one do you want to pit this time?" ”

"Didn't Lu Shu have a gambling contract with her cousin, that generous cousin seemed to want to raise, I just cooperated, it was really not me betting with others."

"Is there a difference, isn't the benefit pulled to your house in the end?"

Zheng Peng said eloquently: "From the Shangyuan Festival to the present, most of the year has passed, nothing has been done, it is all tossed here, how can it be done without any benefits." ”

So many people were waiting to see their jokes, that Cui Yunfang was plotting for Lu Shu's dowry, and wanted to smash Zheng Peng's wedding ceremony, Zheng Peng was really not polite to her.

Gambling with herself will make her lose her temper.

Lan Duo looked at Zheng Peng, and a thought rose in his heart: This guy is a troublemaker, and he can't be at peace anywhere, but it's best not to compete with him.

Time passed day by day, Cui Yuan was in full swing preparing for the scenery and marrying a daughter, and Zheng Peng was busy with the final finishing work of the bridge, and before he knew it, it was the sixth day of September.

September 16 is a good day to go to Cui's Mansion to welcome relatives, and the sixth day of September is also a day worth remembering: after six months of hard work, the bridge was finally officially completed, which is the first bridge built by Zheng Peng, and the first cement and steel bridge in Datang.

Hundreds of people were busy for half a year to finish, this is still sufficient manpower, material guarantee, get up early and rush late to complete, if in the future, as long as a large-scale engineering team, it will not take a month to complete.

There is no way, there is no large construction machinery, and it is necessary to plane the bad weather of wind and rain.

Try on the bridge, Zheng Peng took a long breath of relief, put his hand on the railing carved in white granite, looked at the straight and flat bridge deck, the finely carved railing, each railing is carved with stone lions with different expressions, the most special thing is that there are sidewalks on both sides of the bridge, and flower beds are also built next to the sidewalks, and a lot of flowers and plants are planted on them.

It looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

Standing on the bridge he built, Zheng Peng felt a sense of pride in his heart.

With hard work, the world is a little different because of its own existence.

Li Bai looked left and right, his face was a little excited, walking around like a child, looking very curious.

Half a year ago, Li Bai followed Zheng Peng here, Zheng Peng pointed to the river more than 20 zhang wide, and said that when he wanted to build a majestic and strong bridge here, this was an incompleteable task in Li Bai's eyes, thinking that Zheng Peng was bragging and would give up soon, but he didn't expect that Zheng Peng really succeeded.

At this moment, Li Bai turned into a curious baby and kept throwing out all kinds of questions:

"Childe, there is a white line in the center of the road, what does this mean?"

"We walk on weekdays to follow the left up and right down, and the bridge is the same, draw a line to divide the road into two halves, so that it is convenient to come and go without blocking."

"On the day of leveling, I saw that the bridge deck was obviously going to be leveled, why did it deliberately have some stripes, by the way, there are more stripes on the sidewalk, is this some kind of totem?"

"What totem, you think so much, it's anti-slip, so as not to slip on the road in the rain and fall easily."

"Childe, is this a bridge or a garden, why do you build a good bridge and spend so many flowers to build an altar and plant flowers?"

Zheng Peng said with a serious face: "This bridge is not only a gift to the old folks of Boling, but also a great commemorative value, I want people to know that the benefits of the bridge are not only convenient to pass, but also to become a beautiful landscape, to become a regional label, forget it, it is useless to explain so much, you will understand in the future." ”

Huang San, Zheng Fu, Lao Qi and others who followed Zheng Peng nodded again and again, feeling that Zheng Peng's idea was novel and reasonable.

Unconsciously, after walking back and forth on the bridge, Zheng Peng suddenly spoke: "Huang San, Steward Cui." ”

"Young Master"

"Childe" and the two approached as they responded, waiting for Zheng Peng's orders.

Zheng Peng said with a straight face: "The bridge has been completed, but it can't be put into use yet, and after the young master receives the newlyweds, it can only be officially delivered after passing through this bridge, the two of you send people to guard here, don't let anyone pass, remember, it's anyone, including those cement roads, don't let people use it, understand?" ”

The two nodded in agreement.

This bridge was specially built by Zheng Peng in order to marry Lu Shu, so naturally he waited for Zheng Peng and his party to pass first, and there is no objection to this.

The bridge was built by Zheng Peng, and the land was provided by Cui Yuan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this bridge is private property, and it is not the turn of others to have opinions.

Huang San asked curiously, "Young Master, are you going back to Nanqiao Station?" ”

"That's right, Zhang Sheren, the big matchmaker, arrived at Nanqiaoyi yesterday, it's time to meet him and discuss some details, I will leave in a while, and I will leave it to you here."

Greeting is a very grand ceremony, the groom needs to become a woman to pick up the bride on the day of marriage, welcome home, in order to show the importance of the woman, if the two families are not far apart, it is good to say, Yuancheng is more than 800 miles away from Boling, the day of marriage from the man's house, it will definitely not be in time, only one party can accommodate.

The woman accommodated, found a temporary place not far from the man in advance, and welcomed the man back to the temporary residence on the day of the wedding;

The man accommodated, went to a place not far from the woman in advance to find a temporary residence, and on the day of the wedding, the man went to the woman's place to welcome the person back.

The two families quickly reached an agreement: Zheng Peng went to Nanqiaoyi, which was about ten miles away from Boling, to wait for the auspicious day, and then set off on the day when Lushu left the pavilion.

Yuancheng Zheng and Boling Cui are too disparity, and on the issue of marrying, the most stubborn and decent old man Zheng has a very resolute attitude, fully cooperating with the Boling Cui family, in his heart, as long as the daughter of the Boling Cui family is married, this is the biggest victory.

If the Yuancheng Zheng clan is stronger than the Boling Cui clan, the situation will be reversed.

It's a pity that this can only be thought of.

"Don't worry, young master, it will be done properly."

Cui Er also patted his heart and said: "Son, rest assured, the old slave must be optimistic about this place and guarantee that there will be no mistakes." ”
