Chapter 138: Time
The sun was shining brightly, falling on the black table, and it was warm.
The climate in Shuzhong is pleasant, although it is early summer, the backyard garden of this mountain is just right.
Jiang Chengzi sat in front of the desk, holding a pen and writing a hairpin on the paper. She has an indescribable grace in writing, and the words are also extremely beautiful, and there is a kind of fullness and elegance in Wen Wanjuan's beauty.
However, after all, she is from modern times, and she always writes in simplified Chinese from time to time. The man reclining on the desk had his long hair swept down and his pale blue robe scattered. Ah Nian, who had just washed his hair, leaned on the desk to dry his black hair.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, his expression was languid, and his eyebrows were sideburned. Lazy, he seemed to be pretending to sleep, but when Jiang Chengzi made a mistake, he immediately pointed it out.
In this way, Jiang Chengzi wrote a few words wrong, and felt that it was too wasteful of paper (you must know that in this era, paper is a luxury, and most people still use bamboo slips), so he put down his pen and muttered: "If you don't write it, it's a waste." β
"I don't say it's just. Ah Nian Shi Ran sat upright, his voice was gentle and doting.
Jiang Chengzi glanced at him and said, "I just don't want to waste paper." β
"I brought a lot of them, all of them are the best Qingjiangbai. Don't worry. His tone was still doting, like a thin feather brushing over his ears.
Jiang Chengzi's heart trembled, his eyes lowered with shame, and said, "Don't write, or else, you come?"
"I don't know what Ah Zi is going to write. His tone was still very good, so good that Jiang Chengzi wanted to jump over and pinch him.
She lost her mind and did not answer him. He whispered again, "Ah Zi?"
"Ah, I dictate, you take note. She said.
These days. Those who get along with her are accustomed to her incoherent sentences from time to time, only if she learned them on Never's Island. After spending a few days with her, Ah Nian also understood the meaning of her every sentence.
"Okay. He replied with a smile, and then with a flick of his wide sleeves, he sat up straight, smiled and asked. "Ah Zi, can you sharpen the ink for me?"
"Good. She replied crisply, then moved, knelt in front of the desk and slowly sharpened the ink.
The daylight in the afternoon is just right. The cicadas and birds are chirping, and the breeze is coming slowly. She added fragrance to her red sleeves on the side of the case, slowly grinding ink. He put down the pen slowly, on the expensive Qingjiang white paper. The ink is rendered. But it's a picture of a beauty.
The blue screen window, the banana bush, the girl standing against the window, the fan half covers her face, her eyebrows are naughty, as if she is eating and smiling at people.
"How?" he asked.
Jiang Chengzi frowned in surprise and said, "In the past, I didn't know that you were fighting other than fighting. And this kind of talent. β
"How do you speak? Can you still have a good conversation? What do you meanβ" he asked, earnestly, learning her spoken language. But he lowered his voice and stepped forward and continued to ask, "You mean that you only thought that the husband you used to think was just a martial artist?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. My husband is a hero in my eyes. She smiled.
Ah Nian squinted at her, pretended to be angry, pursed his lips, and said, "Hero of the world, isn't that a martial artist scolding me at a bend?"
"You're unreasonable. Jiang Chengzi pouted coquettishly, but couldn't help but look at the painting carefully. Obviously, the ink is only one color, and the shade is diluted with water, but the ink painting he painted made her feel that the plantain was green and verdant, and the whole picture was colored.
"Wonderful. She couldn't help but admire.
"Would you like to send you?" he chuckled, and took a paintbrush to slightly trace the eyebrows of the woman in the picture, the woman's facial features were more prominent, and it was clearly Jiang Chengzi.
"This naturally has to be mine. Who else would you like to give it to?" she asked rhetorically.
He teased her and said, "That's not necessarily, I can give more people." Guo Niangzi in Pingkangfang is famous in Chang'an, well, she asked for my paintings in her early years. I didn't give it to her, or would I send this one to someone?"
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he frowned coldly, and then smiled and said, "Go ahead." With that, she stood up and straightened her clothes to leave.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Help you call Che Hu to come over to do errands, and by the way, my father will take a look at the young talents, and pay attention to them for me, but there is a good son-in-law." She replied generously.
He went crazy, and even if he knew that the woman was joking, he couldn't hear her leave him and find someone else to match. Even if she had the slightest thought, he couldn't stand it.
So, he got up suddenly, gently straightened his robe, blocked her way, and said viciously: "Don't go, you can only be mine." β
His voice is changing, and sometimes he is slightly hoarse when he is not well controlled. She was shocked when she heard this, but she still lowered her head and muttered: "I am allowed to send paintings to the top lady of Pingkangfang, and I am not allowed to see if there are any young talents? β
She was originally coquettish, and even if she said this, she was not really annoyed. The sound was as soft as the sound of a piano. When Ah Nian heard it, he only felt that the sound was intertwined with the intoxicating summer time around him, making him only feel that the tip of his heart was itchy.
"I will not be reasonable, you are mine, so you are not allowed to look at others or think about others. He was insolent.
She took a step back, grimaced at him, and said, "Ah Nian is unreasonable and unfair. β
"Hmph, I'm just talking. The women of this world, except for my mother, only carry the pen for you. In the future, maybe I will pick up a pen for my daughter. He said slowly, every word was like the previous year's aging, and it went straight into her heart.
Jiang Chengzi only felt sweet in his heart, but he still tried his best to hold back a laugh and retorted: "You don't paint, how can Guo Niangzi know that your painting skills are excellent, and you have to ask for it?"
"Ah Zi, you really wronged me. Once upon a time, I went to Pingkangfang, and the people who traveled with me said to Guo Niangzi that I had excellent painting skills, and Guo Niangzi joked that I would make a painting for her, and I said that I would only paint for my mother and wife. Guo Niangzi joked that she really wanted one. I'm just joking with you, look at you like this. Ah Nian joked and tsk.
Jiang Chengzi's mouth flattened and said, "Look, everyone has confessed like you." β
"It's her business to confess, and I'm not an object, whatever you want? What do you want me to do? I was wrong, Zi, Zi. Don't be annoyed. He lowered his voice.
He didn't feel ashamed of bowing down to his beloved woman like this, and he even felt that this was the real man.
Jiang Chengzi couldn't hold back when he saw him like this, and he snorted and said, "Okay, don't make trouble." Write it down, write it down. This detailed report is for everyone today. Be careful with your wording. β
"Well, it's time to be cautious. It's your father-in-law, after all. "Ah Nian is serious.
"Death. Jiang Chengzi glanced at him obliquely, and his eyebrows were cold.
Ah Nian disagreed, and gently dipped the pen and ink, Jiang Chengzi paced in the room. Coming and going dictated. Ultimately. At dusk, the two of them prepared a report to Li Shimin, including planting and storage skills for potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as possible yield calculations per mu. In addition, the "Shennong Plan" was also reported to Li Shimin in detail.
"This plan has just been formulated, so it's going to be reported to everyone today, isn't it?" Yang Qingrang, who hurried over after reading the book, frowned.
"There's nothing wrong with that. This kind of thing must be reported to the imperial court first, and give everyone an early impression first. Our Metropolitan Governor came to Shuzhong for the benefit of the people, and our Metropolitan Governor may have even greater ambitions. Other than that. Reporting this to the imperial court will also make our plans smoother, and when the time comes, we will look around for seedlings, and if there is a special approval for today, it will be easier for us to walk. Besides, even if everyone picks it again, the funds are interesting, even if he doesn't mean it. Hehe, as soon as he said it, he wants to support our plan, so there are not many dignitaries and nobles who want to contribute to us?" Jiang Chengzi said with a grin.
Ah Nian listened to it from the sidelines, and then joked dotingly, and said, "Brother Qingrang, have you seen it? Your sister is more suitable to be a profiteer than you." β
"I'm kind enough to plan for you, hmph, and say it's treacherous. Jiang Chengzi pouted.
Ah Nian and Yang Qing laughed, and the three of them had another fight, and it was only time for dinner. Because Zhang Jia wanted to join the "Shennong Plan", he also stayed to eat. Yang Shuyue was busy because there was something going on in the yamen, and the imperial court wanted to count household registration. Yang Wang's body was also unwell and went to bed early. There was only a group of young people left in the family, so they had a night banquet in the side hall.
Jiang Chengzi invited Yunzhu and Yang Ruyu over, and even the two sisters from Xiuhong also shouted over. The two of them will look at each other, since they were taught a lesson by Yang Ruyu, and after the incident of Dusk Cloud Villa, the two of them have learned a lot, and they are also quite afraid of Jiang Chengzi.
Jiang Chengzi also tried not to have anything to do with them, and made people stare at Xiuhong's mother and daughter everywhere. After all, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change.
The night banquet was presided over by Yang Qingrang and Yang Ruyu, and the guests were staggered, so lively.
Zhang Jia drank more heartily at night, and soon fell drunk, fell asleep, and was carried to the wing room by his attendants to take care of him. After that, Jiang Chengzi also said that he was tired and left the table. Yao Ziqiu also came out and talked to her about the results of the previous exchange with Zhang Jia.
"I'm afraid the roots of the Zhang clan are deeper than we imagined. After a few conversations with him, I can see between the lines that Zhang's family controls many industries, and my research must be harmless, but my heart is always unsteady. Yao Ziqiu said directly.
"I know why you're not down-to-earth. But I ask you, what do you think of the Hedong Zhang clan as our enemy?" Jiang Chengzi asked softly.
Yao Ziqiu was silent for a moment before he said, "I have an extremely headache. β
"The lesser of two evils. Jiang Chengzi replied.
Yao Ziqiu said "um", and he didn't pursue the matter, and said directly: "If you say this, I will understand much better." Instead of setting up a strong enemy for the King of Shu, it is better to win over, one less enemy, and increase our strength. β
"But don't take him lightly, you see. You can see it better than I can see it when you go north and south, and if he has any trouble, you have to talk to me. Jiang Chengzi advised.
Yao Ziqiu replied yes again and again, and then said very suspiciously: "I think Zhang Gongzi and Ah Zhi seem to have old grievances. β
"I'll talk to you about this when the time comes, and Brother Yao won't have to ask. Jiang Chengzi stopped.
Yao Ziqiu is also an interesting person, so he changed the topic and said: "It's late at night, you have been busy recently, so you should rest early." β
Jiang Chengzi said "um", but then said: "Ah Nian Gongzi seems to be light and light on the surface, but inside I am afraid that I can't let go." I'll try to persuade you again. β
When Yao Ziqiu heard this, he immediately said that he wanted to go in and drink, and discuss the drinking order with Yang Qingrang.
Jiang Chengzi walked slowly along the path in the backyard. The moonlight was clear, sprinkled from among the tall trees, and fell into an unreal romance.
Since the latter garden became Jiang Chengzi's experimental field, it has been forbidden for idle people to enter here, even if it is a maid who sprinkles and sweeps, it must be a special person arranged by Mama Zhou.
Jiang Chengzi walks around this courtyard from time to time, which has become her office and a paradise for her to empty herself.
She paced back and forth along the forest path, and after a while, Ah Nian came over, stood still in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "I just heard Ziqiu say, do you have something to look for me?"
Jiang Chengzi said "um" and said, "I'm looking for you to admire the moon." β
"If it's moon viewing, how can you make such a big fanfare? There must be something else?" he asked straight to the point.
Jiang Chengzi smiled lightly and said, "You are so boring. Such a beautiful moonlight. β
He didn't speak, just looked down at her on the side, only to feel that she was a little more mellow than when they first met, and no longer so skinny. The eyes were shining brighter and brighter in the moonlight.
He didn't continue to ask, but also stood side by side with her, the cool breeze was blowing, the beauty was on the side, the moonlight was just right, it was really a beautiful day.
After a long time, Jiang Chengzi looked up and saw that she seemed to see the mysterious starry sky running, and her neck was a little tired, so she withdrew her eyes, sat down on the stone bench next to her, and shouted: "Ah Nian." β
"Huh?" Ah Nian looked at her suspiciously.
She laughed and said, "It's okay, I just want to shout to you." β
"Hmm. He replied, then lowered his voice and said temptingly, "Actually, you can also call me Lang Jun, or husband." β
"Dead open. She slapped his paws away, and then muttered, "Zhang Jia said that about you before, you lost your soul and couldn't speak for a long time." Later, I asked Yunzhu to invite you to this courtyard, but you didn't say anything. I'm really uncomfortable with this, and I feel like I need to talk to you. β
"What are you going to say?" he chuckled. He admitted that Zhang Jia's words really hit him, and her tragedy in her previous life was caused by him, if she had nothing to do with him, Ah Zi would not have been involved in this unprovoked fate. For a moment, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and his defeat was like a mountain. In his previous life, the fear and powerlessness that he had when he lost her struck him fiercely, and they joined forces to suppress him.
He once wondered what he was going to do with her in this life, and that she would have to escape the tragic fate if she stayed away from him. Maybe it is also a good choice for her to marry Zhang Jia. (To be continued.) )
