161.Chapter 161: Temptation
Autumn Tiger is just a paper tiger in Shunyang.
Not long after the autumn harvest was in full swing, the weather was getting colder day by day.
After an autumn rain, Ruan Bai was already wearing a sweater. The sweater you make by yourself is put inside the clothes, you don't need any tricks, and the speed of the fight is very fast, and you can play the sweater while having a meeting.
After Ruan Bai mobilized the enthusiasm of the officials who came to investigate, he felt that he had nothing to do with himself. He also spread out all his weaknesses before them.
In terms of experience, the rice he eats is not as much salt as anyone else has eaten; In terms of familiarity with the local area, he is even more unbeatable. So, what's left with him? It's completely wooden!
Ruan Bai squinted his eyes, yawned heavily, paused for a moment, and slapped the fat ball's impatient paws down, preventing the fat ball from playing with yarn - that was the daily activity of cats, fat balls and a dog mixed with something.
In the huge conference room, one person and one dog are out of place. The officials and officials were all crowded in front of the wall, looking at the huge map hanging on it, and whispering from time to time.
Seeing that Ruan Bai was a little sleepy, a little official was very eye-catching and poured hot tea for him again.
Ruan Bai picked up the teacup, the warm mist steamed, and his eyelashes were raised......
The fat ball stood up from Ruan Bai's lap and put his front paws on the table: "Huh? "Give it some too?
Ruan Bai didn't understand dog language, took a sip of tea, put the wool on his legs on the table, pushed away the teacup, put the fat ball on the table, buried his head in the soft and hot belly of the fat ball, smashed his mouth, and fell asleep in an instant.
The officials discussed until it was dark, completely unaware that Ruan Bai had been asleep for a while.
The servant asked in a low voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to continue at night?" ”
The officials had to leave in a hurry before the road closure in Shunyang, and there was not much time left, and they had been working overtime to discuss recently, and one letter of intent for cooperation was signed in an orderly manner.
The officials paused as if they had just woken up from a dream and looked at the sky: "It's all at this time?" ”
"Keep going."
"I'm going back in a few days, why don't you continue?"
"Just make a bowl of noodles and deal with it."
"I'm going to go to the latrine."
There was a jumbled sound, and Fat Ball was woken up and got up from the table. Ruan Bai, who had no pillow, slammed his head on the table: "Hey." ”
Ruan Bai woke up and was still a little ignorant, gathered the blanket on his body that he didn't know when it was covered, and when he looked up, he just saw Chu Hao stepping into the door: "Have you eaten?" ”
Chu Hao saw the blanket on Ruan Bai's body, walked over two steps quickly, helped him wrap the blanket tightly, and pulled the person into his arms with a smile: "Asleep again?" "This has been happening for days on end. But it was precisely because of this that he allowed Ruan Bai to "hold a meeting" like this. It's time for the change of seasons again, and he doesn't want Ruan Bai to lie down for a few days when he gets sick again.
"Hmm." Ruan Bai was a little embarrassed, and buried his head in Chu Hao's chest, "I'm hungry, go eat." ”
The officials are used to the same thing. They went from being embarrassed and surprised at the beginning, to being accustomed to it now, and adapting quite quickly. The husband is affectionate, there is nothing wrong with it, but I miss the wife of the family a little.
During the day, they were able to press Ruan Bai in the conference room, but after dinner, they didn't want to drag Ruan Bai to work overtime. All they could do was to put the preliminary conclusions discussed the previous day in front of Ruan Bai for him to review during the daylight of the next day. This time usually takes less than an hour.
Dinner in Shunyang is simple. The housekeeper has also been refined from the beginning, and now he is becoming more and more in accordance with the local customs.
A large bowl of braised beef noodles, if not enough, there are also golden pancakes.
Ruan Bai wanted to eat beef noodles, but his bowl was mutton. The bowl was as big as a basin, and the chunks of mutton were piled high. Ruan Bai was stunned just by looking at it.
Chu Hao looked at him holding the chopsticks and couldn't help laughing, he didn't need to take a new bowl, he stretched out the chopsticks and flicked the mutton and noodles into his bowl a little: "I told the housekeeper to get a bigger bowl and let you eat more, but I didn't expect it...... Eat it, I'll eat the rest. ”
Ruan Bai rolled his eyes: "I know you're worried about my body, but I'm really not that weak." ”
He knew that Chu Hao was worried about him. The doctor is too, a little bit of a problem, not even sub-health, just this has to be regulated, that also has to be regulated, so that he still thinks that he is Sister Lin, not an athlete who runs laps for a few kilometers every morning.
Besides, mutton is a big supplement, and now he will start to paste autumn fat, and he is not a Michelin in winter? Hey? No, he's still older! According to the per capita height in the Shunyang area, he can still run around. So, nutrition to keep up!
Chu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then said "um" softly. He didn't seem to feel that he was indulged by Ruan Bai, and he was only a little ashamed, and more of the sweetness that almost overflowed his heart. He didn't feel that he had eaten his beef noodles, and he had wiped out most of Ruan Bai's remaining mutton noodles, but he didn't eat it, but made up for it a little.
The next morning, officials did not see Nguyen Bai. At noon, I saw the housekeeper giving Ruan Bai something and stopped to ask.
The housekeeper picked up the burden in his hand and replied: "The second young master is unwell today, and the doctor ordered not to blow the wind." ”
The officials were helpless.
I have to say that Ruan Ershao's sick and weak image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is almost completely impossible to connect with the image of the young hero who bravely killed the enemy back then.
The housekeeper didn't see Ruan's white figure for a day today. The bedroom was firmly guarded by Chu Qianhu, and not a single ant could get in.
The housekeeper knocked on the door twice in a low voice: "Master Shizi, Young Master Tian has something to hand over to the second young master." ”
Chu Hao opened the door without speaking, and after taking the burden from the housekeeper, he immediately closed the door, walked quickly to the bedside, and handed the burden over: "Lao Tian gave it to you." ”
After the opening of the field, there were a lot of strange goods coming and going. But if Tian Kaifu thinks it's easy to use or doesn't know it, he will pack some and let people take Ruan Bai. Anyway, since the cement road was repaired, it took less than an hour for the carriage to go back and forth from Guancheng to Yongchang.
Ruan Bai raised his chin and told the prince: "Open it and let me take a look." "The mutton is really a big supplement. In the future, you can't let Chu Hao's animal eat mutton!
The wrapper is fluffy and soft, and when you open it, there is a woven carpet full of flowers, which shows that the craftsmanship is exquisite. There was also a letter in the baggage, Chu Hao read it again, and couldn't help laughing: "Dare to love, this is still a bribe." ”
The inside of the letter is simple. A Hun who was doing business in Rongchang, his wife was about to give birth, and it was inconvenient to travel, and now seeing that the weather was getting cold, he wanted to stay in Rongchang for the winter.
The establishment of the field was in the interests of Zhou and Hungary, and it was established very quickly. But such a speed also means that there are many things that have not been taken into account behind it. For example, the closing time of the field did not take into account the migration of the Huns.
Winter closures are for sure. At the beginning, in the minds of the Hun officials, there was a fixed time for the annual migration anyway, and when the time came, they would just collect their stalls and leave, which would definitely be earlier than winter, and there was no need to agree on this and that. Zhou people also think the same way.
Now there is an extra pregnant woman who is not fit to travel......
Ruan Bai smiled: "Can't wait for the temptation so soon?" "The new construction is new, and both sides are still in a state of mutual distrust. Don't care how lively it is when buying and selling, who doesn't have a scale in their hearts?
"Hmm. They won't have the patience to wait until next year. "Grasslands are scarce. In previous years, the Hungarian people wanted to get some daily necessities, and it was much more difficult than that of the Zhou people. Now with the opening of the farm, ordinary herdsmen can also exchange some exquisite daily necessities at a lower cost.
Some Hun merchants, representing large tribes, experienced the benefits of settlement during this time.
Even among the Huns, not everyone loves herding. For them, herding is more of a way of life, not bad or good.
And living in a sturdy, warm house, surrounded by a high and sturdy wall, does not have to worry about wild beasts coming to take their livestock, and gives them a new sense of security. The experience was not profound, it was just a thought in their minds, and they felt that it was not bad to live like this.
This valuable carpet, if Ruan Bai accepted it, it would be the winter accommodation fee for the Hun merchant's family.
As a result, Ruan Bai didn't look at it at all: "Let Mr. go back." It is okay for a pregnant woman to stay in Koshizawa to give birth, and she can also leave a maid, but no one else can stay. "Even if he wants to slowly and peacefully evolve the Huns, he can't take too big a step at once, and this initiative must be in his own hands.
His plan has only just begun now, and the Huns want to stretch their legs first? No way!
On this day, a caravan departed, followed by a long wagon of donkeys.
This is very common in the field. The big businessmen are always pompous. From the beginning of the field to the present, similar convoys have come in and out every day.
The carriage that started stopped slightly, and a slender and white hand lifted the curtain of some thickness, and handed a large food box to Tian Kaifu and Fang Yu who were passing by.
Tian Kaifu was surprised: "Li Niang, are you leaving?" As a student who once skipped classes, Tian Kaifu has a deep memory. In particular, this girl is still the only businesswoman in the field, and her wrists are as smooth as those old businessmen.
Li Niang smiled: "Yes, we have few people, and the goods are enough, no matter how much we do, we can't do it anymore." Originally, I planned to take a detour to Mr. Tian's house, but now I don't need it. There were two other girls in the carriage, and they each handed him two large burdens.
Fang Yu held the things in his hand for Tian Kaifu, the corners of his mouth were a little bent, and he didn't like his Tian Tian to be close to other girls.
A girl said softly: "A few sweaters and pants, for Mr. Tian and ...... Master's. ”
Master? The convoy had been walking for a while, Fang Maomao was still frowning and pondering, and was led by Tian Kaifu to the field, before he asked uncertainly: "Master, do you mean me?" ”
