Chapter 8 Autumn Forest
"You still owe me a punishment, don't you remember?" He said. On that day, in order to calm the prince's anger, Yuan Qing promised him that he could punish himself as much as he wanted.
"Yes." Yuan Qing said, she faintly felt that something was surrounding her head.
"Just remember." He said.
"Then lord, how are you going to punish me?" Yuan Qingdao, anyway, he has memorized this punishment to this point, it seems that he can't hide from it, drag it out, it's better to solve it as soon as possible, I believe he won't really want his own life.
"Well, let's talk about it later, I haven't thought about it yet." He said.
Wouldn't you, haven't you thought about it for so long? "Lord, just say it, anyway, I'm not the only one who writes the newspaper......"
"I'll tell you when I'm ready." He didn't care in the slightest about how many newspapers there were.
"Oh, then tell me, will my life be in danger?" This is what Yuan Qing is most concerned about, his life is gone, so he has to go.
"If you really want your life, will you give it?" He raised an eyebrow and said in a light tone.
"Yes." Yuan Qing nodded, she said that as long as it wasn't something that made her too embarrassed, she would agree, so speaking of which, there was nothing terrible about that punishment.
"By the way, you didn't finish your meal the day before yesterday and left in a hurry, what the hell is going on?" He asked her.
"Well, Lord Wang, you think you also heard what Cousin Ling said, I was worried about Xiaobao, so I left first." Yuan Qingdao.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Xiaobao got into a fight with a man who was taller than him, and he was wounded."
"What is the reason?"
"Alas~~~ This is this kid, he saw that person bullying Xiaoli, so he fought with him." Yuan Qingdao.
"Is he alright?" He seemed to care about Yuan Bao's appearance.
"Thank you for your concern, Xiaobao, he's fine." Yuan Qingdao. She couldn't figure out why he was asking her this.
Li Chen seemed to understand very well and did not continue to ask.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the autumn is clear, and in this garden where the two are located, the plants and trees are fragrant and intoxicating.
"Lord Wang, is there anything else you want to ask me?" Yuan Qingdao.
"Not yet." He said.
"Okay, lord, I haven't finished asking yet, what color do you like?"
"Xuanxi." He replied. The dark color is the kind that is black.
"Oh, lord, what animal do you prefer?"
"Horses." He grew up and the horse was the closest animal to him.
"And what do you like to eat?"
"I don't know." He replied very casually, since he was a child, his meals were prepared by others, and everything was delicious anyway, and he had no fixed preferences.
"That means you're not a picky eater." Yuan Qing said, "Then what do you hate to eat the most?" ”
He seemed to think for a long time, and slowly replied, "I haven't eaten it yet, I don't know." ”
Well, he has never eaten anything very bad, and it seems that the people around him understand the likes and dislikes of this prince, and they serve him very well.
"Lord Wang, you ...... Since you were a child, have you ever had someone you like? Yuan Qingdao said.
"Why do you ask?" He looked at her, noncommittal.
Yuan Qing thought for a long time, and it was indeed inappropriate to rashly ask people such a ** question, but his love history was also something that people were more concerned about, "Lord Wang, if you don't want to answer, you can automatically ignore it, just because I haven't asked." "It's hard to evoke his sad memories, and he can't eat and walk around.
"Nope." He replied lightly.
"Really?" Yuan Qing expressed doubts, this is unlikely, everyone grows to nineteen or twenty years old, even if they have never been in love, they will be very fond of someone.
"What about you?" He threw the question at her.
"This, there used to be, but now I'm too far away from him, and it's gone." Yuan Qing said, she is not an easily emotional person, she did like someone in her previous life, but now they are separated not only by distance but also by insurmountable time and space, and Yuan Qing is not the kind of person who will be like for love, so forget about it.
"How far?" He asked, his tone faintly unpleasant.
"In short, I may never see him again in this life and in this life." Yuan Qing seemed to be a little melancholy, and his expression couldn't stop showing sadness.
"Why?" He pressed again.
"If I really want to tell the truth, I can only say that the two of us are not in the same time ......and space at all," Yuan Qing sighed and said quietly. Actually, it's nothing, even if I'm still with him, maybe I won't be with him. ”
"Who is he?"
He ...... "Yuan Qing is not easy to say, after all, they are not in the same time and space, and saying more will only increase the sadness."
"Isn't that the name you called in the valley that day?" Li Chen asked, that day, Yuan Qing cried inexplicably in the valley, and shouted a name that was extremely similar to his name "Ah Chen", you know, Yuan Qing didn't know what the boy's name was at that time.
"I ...... Yes. Yuan Qing nodded, she couldn't deny it, she was just surprised that he still remembered what happened at that time.
"Why do you call me that?" He said.
"I ...... Thought you were him. Yuan Qing looked at his handsome face and said slowly. Lord, I'm sorry, maybe I was dizzy at that time, and I mistook you for that person...... Don't get angry. ”
"I'm not angry." He said, in a flat tone.
"Oh." Yuan Qing nodded to himself.
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?" He said.
"Finally, let me ask you a question, do you have anything to say about being in the newspaper column?" Yuan Qing asked.
"Just don't write too much." He said.
"This, don't worry, I am a responsible newspaper person, and I will never report false information." Yuan Qing swore to the sky and swore an oath.
"Alright, let's go." He said.
"Then the prince, you ......"
"I'll sit down again."
"Oh, then the prince, take good care of your body, don't get sick, I'm leaving." With that, Yuan Qing got up, waved his hand to him, and turned away.
Li Chen looked at her departing back, and her eyes were tinged with a faint sourness. Is it because I look like that person?
As mentioned earlier, Yuan Qing is a privileged person, she walks through the palace, it is an unimpeded one, and after saying goodbye to the concubine, Yuan Qing walked out of the palace.
Even if the concubine was forced to stay, she also made all kinds of excuses, and finally succeeded in refusing.
The next day, the Qiuzhou Daily and the Tangerine Weekly both published Wang Ye's columns. Those who threatened that if they couldn't see the prince's column, they also obediently shut up. The newspaper industry has passed the dangerous period of "life and death".
To make a newspaper is to deal with the masses, but also to deal with the things that the masses are concerned about, in short, to balance in many aspects, so that the newspaper industry can go further and further.
There has been nothing to do these days, Yuan Qing decided to go hunting in the autumn forest, she was born as a hunter in this life, she used to be in the green mountains, basically she had to go hunting in the mountains every few days, and now she hasn't gone hunting for more than a year, and now she has settled in Qiuzhou and doesn't have to travel around, her hands are also itchy, so she made this decision.
Habit is something that can't be shaken.
On this day, the autumn was crisp, Yuan Qing was dressed in simple clothes, and her hair was tied very simply for convenience, without the flower arrangement and hairpin on weekdays, which was very light. There is another person with her, a calm and calm girl, this person has a clear face like a spring, eyes like a deep pool, unfathomable depth, she is Yuan Qing's henchman Qi Yan.
The two men each rode a horse and ran towards the autumn forest.
Qiuzhou is a peaceful and stable city, and it is very convenient to enter and exit the city gates, without too many obstacles.
Autumn forest, a yellow and red state, the aroma of ripe fruit is very strong, the aroma is faintly mixed with the smell of fruit rotten, it is indeed late autumn now, those fruits that have not been sold, can only rot here, it is a pity......
Yuan Qing is not very familiar with horseback riding, she had learned to ride a horse in her previous life, but because she was busy with business, she slowly stopped learning, this life is her first time riding a horse, riding very slowly, she doesn't dare to be fast, after all, she sits on horseback, how dare she be fast?
Qi Yan can ride a horse, she has been trained before, being a high-level slave is also a hard thing, she has to learn everything, miserable ......
"Master, why don't we rest first." Qi Yan looked at Yuan Qing's aggrieved look that he wanted to be fast but didn't dare to be fast, and said.
"It's okay, I'm cultivating a relationship with Chengfeng now, just ride slowly." Yuan Qingdao said, Chengfeng is the horse she is riding.
So the two of them galloped to Qiulin at a super slow riding speed.
I wonder if there will be prey in the forest? Anyway, it won't be long before winter begins, and at that time, not to mention animals, you may not even be able to see a few people, so it is still necessary to try your luck now.
Yuan Qing slowly became familiar with horseback riding, Chengfeng is a more docile running horse carefully selected by her, it is tall and strong, and travels thousands of miles a day, I don't know if it's true, anyway, that's what the horse seller said.
In the autumn forest, all kinds of fruit aromas hit people, yellow leaves fall, and there are few animals. Well, this is the Autumn Forest, the forest is full of artificial fruit trees, that animal is so desperate, dare to come here to wander around?
It seems that the master and servant wanted to take advantage of the excitement and returned in failure.
"Alas, this year's apples really can't be sold." A voice sighed.
"It's like this every year, it seems that we self-employed people have no way, and we really can't compare to those fruit forests with rich contracts......"
Qiuzhou is the hometown of fruits, the autumn forest is so big, the competition is bound to be fierce, every autumn when the fruit is ripe, it is the season to sell the fruit, after that, the fruit will be rotten......
In autumn, people who grow fruits will try their best to sell their fruits, then the competition will come, those fruit forests contracted by the rich, due to the advantages of manpower, material and financial resources, the fruits sell very well, those self-employed people do not have manpower, material and financial resources, can only rely on their own diligence, go to the street every day to sell fruits, try to ask, how many fruits can they sell?
Sure enough, this year, there is a momentum that the fruit will rot if it can't be sold.
In this era, there is no refrigerator, how long does the fruit last when it is ripe? Anyone who has ever bought fruit knows that it takes seven or eight days at most...... Fruit is a seasonal product, and after that, it's gone. To be continued
