172 Respect
In the evening, Ah Chou sat in the study, holding his cheek with one hand, and sorting out what happened during the day today.
Because of Qin Ye's affairs, Sumire Hall took the lead, and was the first to start free clinics, and the first to open the originally vacant Yonghe Hall to take refuge for the victims.
Rong Qinglan followed closely and opened the Four Princes' Mansion.
Next, there is the Longyu Princess Mansion.
Then, Xu Tai opened a free clinic in the Four Princes' Mansion, which was equivalent to a fight with Jin Tang.
Ah Chou was thinking that tomorrow he would move the free clinic to the territory of Yonghetang, so that several projects could form a dragon, and he was thinking about what new tricks the Four Kings Party would come up with tomorrow.
A note was handed to Ugly.
Ah Chou was stunned for a moment, tilted his head slightly, and the apricot-colored sleeves came into view: "What news?" ”
"Quzhou's." Xia Yichen was concise and to the point.
Ah Chou opened the note and glanced at the contents, roughly saying that the embankment of the Qujiang River had been repaired, but the victims had not been properly resettled. The main problem is that the things of the household department have not yet arrived.
"Isn't Hubu Shangshu Yu Zexuan's father," Ah Chou wondered, "How can this be?" ”
"The household department has already put things out, and it is the Ziwei battalion in charge of escorting them." Xia Yichen explained.
"So what is your purpose in sending the news to me?" Ugly is outspoken.
Xia Yichen stood behind her chair, her eyes locked on her thin but curvaceous shoulders, and the curvature showed the arrogance in her bones.
She's not someone to give in easily, he's always known.
"I plan to let people snatch things directly and escort them to Quzhou as soon as possible." Xia Yichen said his bold thoughts.
Ugly turned his head in surprise. looked at Xia Yichen, who looked at him with a comfortable look: "You want to pretend to be a thief to grab food first, and then pretend to be a giver?" ”
But when you think about it, it's the most straightforward and quickest solution.
Ziwei Camp specializes in such errands. Escorting food and wages, escorting royal families, and handling some special cases.
The captain of the Ziwei Battalion, who was responsible for escorting the food and salary this time, was the person of the fourth prince, Mu Tianzhuo. Discussing with him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. It is also unrealistic to temporarily stab his boss and ask for a replacement. After all, they are already on their way, and there is such a thing as a trip deadline. No one can say for sure, and if we make a fuss about this matter, it will take time to investigate. The arrival of food and wages is even more distant.
In fact, sometimes, the most domineering and unreasonable method seems to have the best effect, such as the bloody executioner staged by Xia Yichen at the gate of King Yu's Mansion today. This guy's ridiculous name. It's not for nothing. It doesn't matter if you have a bad reputation, as long as you can do good things.
Xia Yichen's peach blossom eyes were rarely bright: "Isn't this the best strategy?" If there are too many bends, people will be annoyed. However, it was not my intention to go head-to-head with the people of Ziwei Camp. Killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000 is not a good deal. ”
"You're here to ask me for the medicine?" Ah Chou understood Xia Yichen's intention.
"You are the one who knows me," Xia Yichen nodded, "What medicine can reduce combat effectiveness?" ”
"This kind of trivial matter, you can just take croton. And you don't need to be undetectable. Ugly replied lightly.
"Croton," Xia Yichen walked around to the ugly table. He found a chair and sat across from her, "I remember." ”
Ah Chou glanced at Xia Yichen's movements, and said quietly: "Do you have anything else?" ”
Otherwise, why are you sitting so upright, looking extremely serious. Xia Yichen is very serious. But faintly, she felt that she was afraid that he was serious. If he is serious, I'm afraid no one will be able to hold him back......
Xia Yichen looked at her for a long time: "There are some things that I feel necessary to explain." ”
Ugly spread his hands: "I don't understand anything, so there's nothing to explain." ”
"You don't understand," Xia Yichen sighed softly, "but you understand, Ugly, you know very well in your heart, but you would rather pretend that you don't know anything, never look back, and never turn sideways." You only see what lies ahead of you. ”
"You're right," Ugly bowed his head and quickly took his words, "I only see what is ahead of me, and I don't care about the rest." If you understand, why bother with yourself? ”
The two extremely transparent people looked at each other, but no one moved. On the quaint desk in the middle, on the left are the account books and inventory details of the Jianye branch of the Jianye branch of that day, and the middle is empty, and on the right are a few books.
Xia Yichen understood Ugly's thoughts.
She has been trying to get rid of all relationships with the outside world other than cooperation with interests, or rather, she is escaping. He knows that human emotions can bias judgment, make you lose your mind, make you lose your original direction, and make you go from being rich to having nothing.
But he also knew that Ah Chou was not just cold because of this reason.
"Ugly, haven't you really thought about your future?" Xia Yichen asked solemnly.
"I've thought about it, and I'm going to make a mistake. If there is no suitable one, it will be spent in the last years. She was concise and to the point, not interested in the topic. She has long looked down on many things, and this kind of icing on the cake is useless for her to live a stable life or break into a career. Not only is it useless, but it also carries risks.
There is no need to say much about the fact that there is both prosperity and loss, not to mention conspiracy and deception.
Xia Yichen shook his head slightly: "I have vaguely guessed your thoughts a long time ago, so I have been holding back." I know your attitude towards these things, and from Ding Juwen's matter, I understand that even if you say it, it won't do any good. ”
Ugly raised his eyebrows slightly under the veil: Early in the morning, how early was then? With the appearance of her previous life, she was not surprised to have such a result. But in this life......
Heh, isn't that ridiculous?
She remembered what Qi Ziyou said before she died, love your face, or love your money?
I have no face and no money in this life, but I ......
Ding Juwen, Xia Yichen, I hope there will be no one else in the future. Their affection for her can't last long, because they can't withstand the years and reality. Whether it comes from her detachment and courage that does not match the women of this world, or from her calmness and calmness beyond her age, those can only be reduced to three words after all - freshness.
However, these three words are the most useless impulses, and they all seem so pale and powerless in the face of reality that is gradually revealing its cruel face.
Rather than believing in ethereal feelings, she would rather choose a reality that can be seen and touched. It's not a monetary identity, what she asks for is a suitable, as long as it's suitable. So she would rather choose to recruit a person, and when there is no suitable candidate, she might as well be a happy unmarried woman.
What's more, how can she drag others down with such a crippled body?
"Since the prince guessed early in the morning that there was no need to say it, then why should he say it? I said that I have long forgotten what Shizi said in that space. "The meaning of the ugly is very clear, that is, when nothing has happened, continue to maintain political cooperation.
"Do you know," Xia Yichen put his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling, "Everyone will persuade me to stop drinking when they see me drinking, but you never." You're going to pull me up and nudge me to solve the problem that made me drunk. So, later, every time he was drunk, he would come to her, and she would always get him to throw away the glass himself.
"You're calm, even a little cold. But when everyone is holding back, you're often the only one standing up. You've always known what you're doing, and you've known that your power is limited, but you don't seem to care about your own life. Ugly, I know, you may not die so easily, even if you are injured, you will recover quickly, but you will be in pain......" Xia Yichen closed his peach blossom eyes and stopped his sad tears.
She was in pain, he was sure, including heartache. But she is too cruel to herself, and she can't even care about heartache.
It's just that he cares.
"You're the only woman who ignores the so-called dogma of etiquette, you don't treat me like a fool, you can understand what I'm doing. Ugly, maybe you don't feel it, but I have, you are above the soul, let me see hope, because someone can understand my ......" He said lonely, it seems that he has been lonely for many years, and finally found a soulmate, but it is only a soulmate.
"My heart is like a mirror, but I also know I can't say it. Before that, like you, my plan in this life is to listen to my mother's arrangement, marry a woman with the right family background, or just be alone for the rest of my life. Later, I found out what I thought, and I also knew that you would not accept it, so I chose to be silent for the rest of my life, and also lonely for the rest of my life. But at that time, I suddenly changed my mind. Xia Yichen sighed and lowered his head.
The ugly closed his eyes under the veil, and his expression was very complicated.
The corners of Xia Yichen's lips hooked up a bright smile, and his peach blossom eyes were as bright as stars: "I thought at that time, if I didn't say it, maybe I would be buried here like this, maybe there would be no chance." I don't want to leave regrets. Later, I realized that life is too short, so why am I so desperate? If there is still a chance, if you can still grasp your own path, why can't you go back with your heart, at least, don't have regrets! ”
"Ugly, I just want to make it clear to you that what I did was not frivolous, nor was it a whim. I'm honest and clear, just to show my respect for you. ”
"That jade pendant is the order of the Blood Alliance, I don't want you to have only one person when facing the enemy in the future, even if I can't appear in front of you in time to help you resist the danger, there can be other people who can help you."
"I don't want to put pressure on you, you just have to take it in stride. You just need to do what you want now. If you still don't get used to my company in the end, can you refuse me again? His supplication, with a rare softness, faded away from all his insolence and weirdness, and only the truth remained.
Admittedly, Ah Chou sighed and did not respond.
Xia Yichen stood up and left, returning the space for thinking to Ah Chou.
Looking at the crystal white drop-shaped jade pendant on the table, Ah Chou's thoughts were a little diffuse.
The Blood Alliance ordered that the other one should be in the shape of a blood-colored blood droplet, and the two jade pendants together were a blood-colored Tai Chi. (To be continued......)
