The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 441 Reunion of old friends

Chang'an, Qingyun Pavilion.

To be precise, it is still just a half-finished Qingyun Pavilion.

It was still under renovation at this time, but it had already taken shape. The craftsmen were busy at work, and Cuicui led Qiao Yu to inspect various places.

"What's going on? These railings aren't right?"

When they reached the second floor, Cuicui saw that the newly installed railing was obviously inconsistent with the blueprint. Many carved details were omitted, which clearly showed that they had cut corners. She was immediately displeased.

She immediately walked up to the craftsman who was painting the railings and frowned, "Master, isn't this railing too different from the drawing?"

As he was speaking, he took another look and saw that even the paint was mottled and uneven, which made him even more angry.

"Master, this isn't how painting should be done, right?"

The worker was very impatient. He threw his hands and didn't even bother to refute the accusation. He just said, "Young lady, what do you know? Why are you still pointing fingers and making trouble?"

Cuicui got angry immediately after hearing this and said angrily: "I am the shopkeeper here!"

The craftsman didn't care at all and replied lazily: "So what if it's the shopkeeper? We only listen to our foreman."

At this moment, the foreman heard the noise and rushed over, asking, "Boss, what happened?"

"This man of yours clearly didn't follow the blueprint carefully, so how dare he talk back?" Cui Cui said coldly.

"Young lady, you may not understand the work of craftsmen. It's okay if these drawings are a little flexible. The key is the money you gave. I can't make it so detailed..." said the foreman with a smile.

Cuicui got even angrier: "Master, you said the money was not enough. I have already added money twice, and you still say it is not enough? Do you think we are easy to bully?"

Qiao Yu nodded silently behind him, clenching his fists until they made a crackling sound.

The foreman glanced at the strange woman who was like an iron tower, shrank back, and continued to speak tactfully:

"Boss, you are from Qinghe, so you probably don't know how expensive things are in Chang'an! We also founded Hongfutang, and they are now the leading weapon refinery in Chang'an. The amount they gave us is five times what you gave!"

He stretched out five fingers and gestured, and saw that Cuicui's face had become colder, so he quickly put his hands away and continued to persuade her.

"Anyway, you have no one to rely on in Qingyun Pavilion, and you are destined to be taken over by Hongfu Hall... Hehe, there is no need to be so serious about it. It is better to save some money for the dowry and find someone from Chang'an... Don't you think so?"

This is clearly stated. Since Qingyun Pavilion cannot continue to operate in Chang'an anyway, it is better to just muddle through.

After hearing this, Cuicui became so angry that her face turned pale.

Everyone knew that they came from Qinghe.

But naturally no one knows who is behind this. They think it is just a small workshop from a small place with no backing and no background, so everyone dares to bully it.

Qiao Yu felt Cuicui's anger and her fists were itching, but she held back and didn't take action.

She had seen it all these days, and every time she wanted to take action, Cuicui would persuade her to stop, saying that it was for the sake of Tang Lu.

Shengsheng also told her to listen to Cuicui, so she had no choice but to obey.

But I also feel that this society is too depressing.

If it were in her original world, people would just fight if they disagreed with each other.

Seeing that Miss Cuicui was full of anger, Qiao Yu had no choice but to secretly use two bad luck talismans.

Seeing that the craftsman and the foreman suddenly fell flat on their faces, Cuicui couldn't help laughing, knowing that Qiao Yu was venting her anger.

The two men fell down and were very angry when they saw Cuicui making fun of them, but they only dared to say a few sarcastic words because the fierce and strange woman standing behind Cuicui was obviously not a pushover.

Cuicui crossed her arms and said coldly, "If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. It's not like we can't find someone else to take it over!"

The foreman quickly apologized with a smile and said he dared not.

He just wanted to be lazy and cut corners, and he didn't want to get away with the money.

Just do it anyway. Isn't it him who decides how it turns out?
It's not a shop owned by any nobleman, so even if he doesn't do a good job, this little girl has no way to complain.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the little girl shouting loudly: "Sister Shengsheng!"

Everyone looked and saw a young woman in scholar's clothes walking into Qingyun Pavilion.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary scholar's uniform.

These craftsmen have been working in Chang'an all year round and have also renovated mansions for many nobles, so they can recognize at a glance that this is the scholar's uniform of the National Academy!
The foreman was even more frightened and thought to himself that something was wrong.

This is a great scholar!
……

Liu Sheng had some free time today, and after coming out of the Weaving General Administration, he went to Qingyun Pavilion on the way.

As the employer, I always have to pay attention to the progress of the renovation and submit the work orders of the past few days.

However, as soon as I stepped through the door, I felt the strange atmosphere.

A dozen sturdy men stood together, while two weak women, Cuicui and Qiao Yu, stood on the other side. The two sides confronted each other, and it was obvious that something had gone wrong.

[Weak woman? ]

The voice in Liu Sheng's heart seemed dissatisfied with a certain word, but it didn't matter. What mattered was, how could her people be bullied?

So Liu Sheng's face darkened and he asked, "What happened?"

"Are you dissatisfied with the shopkeeper's arrangements?" She immediately saw the clue of the incident and asked.

When the foreman was glanced at by Liu Sheng, he immediately felt a sense of pressure and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

The other craftsmen also felt as if they were being stared at by a powerful person, and their hair stood on end when she glanced at them.

This is a student from the National Academy!
Anyone who can enter the National Academy must be a master of cultivation. This has long been a tacit fact.

Now that he felt the pressure of Liu Sheng's realm, he knew even more how huge the gap in power was and that he must not act rashly.

The foreman immediately bowed his head and begged for mercy: "Sir, please forgive me, I just... I feel that the shopkeeper..."

Liu Sheng immediately frowned and gave him a cold look, waiting for what he would say.

Cuicui immediately said in a cold voice: "Shengsheng, they just think that our Qingyun Pavilion has no one to rely on, and we don't know where this small workshop came from, so anyone can bully us, so they want to cut corners and fish in troubled waters."

The foreman quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, that's not the case, we..."

Liu Sheng had never realized so clearly what the National Academy student uniform he was wearing represented.

【Alas, it is a chasm after all. 】

[Let alone saying that we are the top scorers, at least, we are Jinshi. ]

[Being a Jinshi means that sooner or later one will be able to serve as an official in the imperial court. Even if one may not be able to obtain a very good official position, for ordinary people, he is still an official and needs to be respected.]

Although Liu Sheng didn't want to bully others by taking advantage of his power, it was obvious that these people were bullying others by taking advantage of their power from somewhere.

So she said, "I hope you all know that Qingyun Pavilion is my property. Although it may not be comparable to Hongfu Hall, I believe that it will not be much inferior in the future. So I hope you can be more careful and don't let people laugh at you and think that you are careless."

After hearing what Liu Sheng said, the craftsmen felt dissatisfied, but they also knew that now was not the time to refute.

"Yes, yes, you are right." The foreman said hurriedly.

Liu Sheng glanced at Cuicui and saw her nod slightly, indicating that he could let her go.

After all, it is almost completed now, and it would be troublesome to change the batch of people at the last minute.

So Liu Sheng said, "Then hurry up and get busy. I'll talk to the shopkeeper for a while. I hope I won't make him worry anymore."

"Yes!" The workers felt Liu Sheng's pressure disappear and immediately felt relieved, and answered in unison.

The sound was so loud that the dust on the beams seemed to fall down, and it sounded quite sincere.

Liu Sheng then followed Cuicui and took Qiao Yu to the back hall.

The back hall was the first to be cleaned up.

Because it is already ready, there is not much difference in the back hall of any shop, so just a little cleaning is needed.

Cuicui brought over an iced plum drink and asked with a smile, "Sister Shengsheng, how come you have time to come here today?"

"I just happened to go out of the academy to do some things." Liu Sheng replied.

"That's great! The young lady will be here later. You two really have such a tacit understanding!" Cuicui clapped her hands and laughed.

Liu Sheng felt a little weird and tried to hide his embarrassment by drinking an ice drink.

[Humph, who can be so in tune with her? ]

[But I just happened to have something to discuss with her. Since it was related to Qingyun Pavilion, Wen Weilan and Cuicui both knew about it.]

"By the way, how is Sister Qiao Yu these days?" Liu Sheng turned around and asked.

Qiao Yu said in a muffled voice: "I like Miss Cuicui very much, but it's a pity that we can't fight."

Cuicui smiled awkwardly and explained, "Fighting is prohibited in Chang'an City. Sister Qiao Yu, think about it. If you had fought just now, you would have been arrested by the Jinwu Guards. That would have been troublesome."

Liu Sheng also nodded and said, "Sister Qiao Yu, please bear with it for now. You must not be caught by the Jinwu Guards."

Or go to Dali Temple...

At this time, Cuicui raised her head with a look of surprise.

"Miss! You're here!" He grabbed Liu Sheng's sleeve and greeted her enthusiastically, "Miss, look, who is this?"

Liu Sheng raised his eyes slightly embarrassedly, and his gaze met Wen Weilan's.

The two looked at each other, and there was an indescribable awkwardness in the air.

Cui Cui looked around and suddenly felt that the atmosphere between the two people was a little subtle.

Qiao Yu had met Wen Weilan in the past few days and knew that she was Liu Sheng's good friend.

But now it seems that it is not so good...

So, Qiao Yu silently lowered her head and carefully ate the lychee jelly in the plum drink.
