The next day, a special issue of the Mo Journal was published in Chang 'an. It immediately caused a stir in the city. The front page of the Mo Journal was a picture of the newly completed Wei River Bridge and a young man in a wheelchair.
For these two pictures, Tian Qiong had spent a lot of effort. He had specially invited the most skilled artist of the Mo School, Zi Yi, to carve them into a board and print them out.
After three years, Zi Yi's painting skills had reached perfection. With just a few simple strokes, she had painted Li Yun and the Wei River Bridge so vividly that it was unforgettable.
"The Wei River Bridge will be completed in a year! And the chief engineer of the Mo School who was supervising the construction of the Wei River Bridge actually contracted such a strange disease! "
"This isn't the Mo School, but the Xiangfu branch of the Mo School. I heard that in order to build the Wei River Bridge, the Xiangfu branch lost many people. Now, even the chief engineer has died."
"Li Yun, the descendant of Li Chun. The Old Man saw him once at the Mo School Exhibition. He's about the same age as Mo Jiazi. He was supposed to be in the prime of his life, but he ended up like this."
"I heard that in order to repair the bridge, Li Yun dived into the river many times. In the end, he contracted the same diving disease as the South Sea pearl diver girl. What a pity."
"Although it's a pity, that's the Wei River Bridge. Is it appropriate to give it to a paralyzed patient?"
…
The people of Chang 'an were talking about it. Some felt sorry for it, some sympathized with it, some admired it, some doubted it, and some opposed it.
For a moment, the Wei River Bridge that was about to be completed and a paralyzed chief engineer in a wheelchair became a hot topic in Chang 'an. At the same time, the grudges of the three branches of the Mo School were also gossiped about once more.
In the Ministry of Works, the manager of the Ministry of Works stood respectfully in front of the Minister of Works, Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang looked at the report and couldn't help but frown. "It seems that Mo Jiazi has been dormant for three years and is unwilling to be left out."
"Minister said that this is Mo Jiazi's handiwork?" The manager of the Ministry of Works said in a low voice.
"That's natural. Although Li Yun of the Xiangfu Clan is an outstanding talent, he is cautious and steady in doing things. That's why he has been hiding his illness. Mo Jiazi's way of doing things is unconstrained and unpredictable. Publicizing Li Yun's illness with great fanfare fits Mo Jiazi's way of doing things." Zhang Liang said with rapt attention.
"In that case, Mo Jiazi wants to use public opinion to protect Li Yun's position as the CEO." The manager of the Ministry of Works said anxiously. If Li Yun kept his position as the chief engineer, then his plan would be ruined.
In reality, he had already discovered Li Yun's illness. However, Li Yun knew the construction of the Wei River Bridge like the back of his hand. Even if he forcefully took over, he would not be able to complete it. Instead, he would have to bear the responsibility if he ruined it. Now that the main body of the Wei River Bridge was more or less completed, he was actively squeezing Li Yun and preparing to take advantage of him. Unfortunately, Mo Jiazi had ruined his plan.
"So what if it's public opinion? That is the gateway to the north of Chang 'an. How can they use a seriously ill person? Moreover, the Mo Journal has also admitted that there is no good medicine for Li Yun's illness. He can only recuperate and can barely walk the bridge again. How can he supervise the construction of the Wei River Bridge?" Zhang Liang snorted coldly.
What Zhang Liang really cared about the Wei River Bridge was the huge amount of steel needed to build it. Now that the main body of the Wei River Bridge was completed, it used the most advanced third-generation steel from the Mo Family Village. The steel used to fill the bridge deck was not the same. Although the second-generation steel produced by other workshops was not as effective, it was still usable. In this way, the Ministry of Works, who controlled the purchasing power of the Wei River Bridge, would benefit greatly.
"Since the Mo Family has exposed their dirty linen, then there is no need to blame the Ministry of Works. Immediately write to His Majesty and request that they replace the chief engineer of the Wei River Bridge," Zhang Liang said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Sir!" The manager of the Ministry of Works bowed and replied.
At the same time, when the Ministry of Works was impeaching Li Yun, Meton was also on high alert. Today was the day he was going to send his daughter, Mo Sha, to kindergarten.
A series of sobs entered Meton's ears, causing Meton to look up at the sky with a helpless expression. "Can you not go to kindergarten? Wuwuwu!"
"Father, why aren't you persuading Mother!" Mo Sha struggled to break free from Princess Changle's embrace and begged her father for help. Today was the day she went to kindergarten. She had not cried yet, but Princess Changle was hugging her and crying non-stop.
"You are the Eldest Princess. Wouldn't it be bad if others saw you?" Meton tried to persuade her.
Princess Changle's eyes were red as she said, "So what? For the past three years, Mo Sha has been with Mother day and night. Now that we are suddenly separated, how can Mother bear to part with you?"
"Be good. When school is over, I will come home to accompany you," Mo Sha said in a childish voice.
Seeing that the other children had already entered the school, Meton and Mo Sha finally comforted Princess Changle and walked to the entrance of the kindergarten hand in hand.
"Young Master, Madam, Little Miss!" Zi Yi and Gongsun Yue's eyes lit up when they saw Meton and the other two. They quickly went up to greet them.
In the past three years, Zi Yi had already become an adult and had become more natural and graceful. Gongsun Yue, on the other hand, often interacted with children, which made her even more motherly and had a strange charm.
"Auntie Zi Yi, Auntie Gongsun!" Mo Sha said naturally and gracefully.
Meton looked at everything in the kindergarten with satisfaction and nodded, "You have done well in the past three years!"
Zi Yi and Gongsun Yue had opened a kindergarten in Village Mo. It could be said that it was very successful. After three years of growth, the concept of kindergarten had been deeply ingrained in people's hearts. As long as the children in Village Mo were three years old and above, they would choose to go to kindergarten. Moreover, the children taught in the kindergarten were very different from the children raised at home. This made early childhood education very popular.
The kindergarten opened by Zi Yi and Gongsun Yue was specially opened in the market where Mo Manor was located. Most of the children were rich and powerful. Once it was opened, the number of students would naturally be endless.
"Thank you, Young Master, for your affirmation," Zi Yi said with a smile.
"Alright, I will leave Mo Sha to you from now on," Meton waved his hand and said.
Gongsun Yue said proudly, "Rest assured, Young Master!"
The purpose of opening the kindergarten was to let Mo Sha enter the school today. Naturally, they would do their best.
"Princess Jinsha is really smart. She is so sensible. She is not like my son who is crying all the time!" After sending Mo Sha to school, the neighbors greeted Meton familiarly.
"It is always like this when you just enter the school. After a few days, when the children are familiar with each other, they will be fine," Meton replied to them one by one.
After Meton walked for a long distance, he saw many women complaining to their husbands, "It is all your fault. The child is only three years old. Why should she go to school?"
The husband snorted, "Women have long hair and short eyes. Didn't you see that Mo Jiazi and the Elder Princess sent their daughters to the kindergarten? With Mo Jiazi's personality of doting on his daughter, how could he let her go to kindergarten if there are no benefits? Besides, even if he finds a playmate for the child, it will be good for the child to be familiar with Princess Jinsha in the future. If our son and Princess Jinsha are childhood sweethearts, when they grow up …"
The woman's eyes suddenly lit up. Only then did she stop objecting to Mo Sha entering the school. Suddenly, she remembered the way her husband looked at Gongsun Yue. She couldn't help but snort, "In the future, I will pick up the child. You don't have to come anymore!"
In the Mo family's carriage, Princess Changle said the same thing.
"Ah!" Meton couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Didn't you see how Gongsun Yue looked at you? Hmph! "Princess Changle said unhappily.
Meton couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that in the future, a woman wouldn't allow her husband to pick up his child.
"Tie An, turn around and go to the palace!" Meton suddenly ordered.
"Yes, Young Master!" Young Master! "Tie An answered.
Princess Changle was surprised, "Why are we going to the palace?"
"Today, the Ministry of Works is impeaching Li Yun. As your husband, I naturally have to support him. Since Mo Sha is going to school today, I will go to the palace to meet the Emperor. You can go to the palace to accompany the Empress. Isn't that perfect?" Meton laughed.
Princess Changle couldn't help but roll her eyes at Meton. She had to admit that without the child by her side, she was indeed a lot more relaxed.
The carriage kept moving forward and soon arrived at the palace. Meton stepped into the palace and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Tang dynasty, I, Meton, am back!" Meton said proudly in his heart.
