Chapter 128: I'll Keep It
For a while, Xu Yi didn't dare to go to Luoshui, and he didn't dare to face Yang Yuhuan's dancing.
For a while, Xu Yi was in a mess, almost to the point of being idle.
For a while, Xu Yi didn't know how he came over, until April of the twenty-third year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Xu Yi heard that Princess Xianyi was going to marry Yang Xun······
After all, history still follows its original trajectory. At this moment, Xu Yi was a little relaxed.
It shouldn't belong to you, and you really shouldn't force it. The so-called coordination and the truth of calamity, Xu Yi understands.
For more than half a year, some of the transshipment ferries along the canal have been put into use, and as for the Luoshui ferry, it has completely replaced the original Dongdu ferry.
The land exchanged for the fertile land in the tidal flat has been completely turned into a market town, and the degree of prosperity is comparable to that of a county seat.
"Brother Yi'er, Old Man Xiao asked the old man to ask, do you have any intention of selling that forest on the tidal flat?"
visited Cui's house again, and after greetings, Cui Sheng told Xu Yi about the forest······
Finally, I still took a fancy to the benefits of the ferry support.
When he was building the ferry, Xu Yi did not fight for anything in the share of the ferry, because he considered the profits of the supporting facilities in the tidal flats.
For the seventy or eighty people who came back from the Western Regions, Xu Yi gave in and retreated.
"Uncle, that's what the kid got in exchange for good land."
"The old man knows, he knows everything. You don't usually pay much attention to that place, what the princes mean is that you can exchange the shares of the ferry. ”
Cui Sheng felt that Xu Yi's excuse was bargaining, so he told his true intentions.
As for whether there are other meanings······ Said another.
"Uncle, the ferry in that forest is far away, and as a supporting facility for the ferry, I'm afraid it's useless. Let the kid keep it to waste. ”
"Brother Yi, how long has it been since you visited the ferry? Today's tidal flat ferry is no less than the size of a county seat in Xia County. Your so-called edge has been completely surrounded by the warehouse. ”
"The warehouse built earlier can no longer meet the needs of the merchants. Due to the convenient transfer of the gantry crane at the ferry, the communication between the inland river of the eastern capital and the transshipment of Caoyun and Luoshui, the ferry has become the hub of Dasheng for transshipment from north to south. ”
"Brother Yi'er, if you need a courtyard, or a forest with peace of mind, without them, the old man can help you touch a place, which is bigger than this, and the pavilions and pavilions are more perfect than here. How is it? ”
To say that Xu Yi was looking for a place of peace at the beginning, it really didn't mean that. After all, at that time, Xu Yi was still poor and white, not to mention that there were dozens of subordinates waiting to make ends meet.
Today, Xu Yi is no longer the Xu Yi when he first entered the Eastern Capital, and the Xu Mansion is not the original Xu Mansion, although it is not more than these families, but in terms of income, it is in the Eastern Capital, which is the top few households.
Therefore, he really has the heart to stay, leaving this so-called pure land.
In his heart, he wanted to keep this place that was connected with Yang Yuhuan, not for love, but for love.
It's just that I don't know if Cui Sheng said this because of Yang Yuhuan, or really because the ferry port needs to be expanded······
"Uncle, the kid doesn't think he can make all the money, the kid thinks that people should do something and not do something. Sometimes leaving a piece of pure land for yourself may leave a piece of tranquility in your heart. ”
"Uncle, the boy didn't say more than a word in the share of the ferry, it was for that forest. Less than 20 acres of woodland, and deviate from the Luoshui River, I hope the princes can let it go. ”
"Cooperation is mutual, but also long-lasting, the kid thinks that it is not only the ferry that can create benefits, the future can be expected, I hope Uncle Weng can help the kid say: That piece of forest, I am not ready to sell."
"In addition, uncle, that forest, Yingniang and I like it very much!"
Can you make a move? Yes. But Xu Yi didn't want to let it go.
From beef jerky, to tidal ferries, to canals and waterways, Xu Yi has never thought of dominating in the past, and has always put himself in a weak position, because he knows that his background is insufficient, and he can't and dare not compete with these families.
The problem is that they have given away a lot, but they have even deliberately taken away their private property.
Originally, the mood during this period of time was depressed enough, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I went back like this.
After finishing speaking, Xu Yi also felt a little reckless: "Uncle Weng, the place north of Cao Qu is very large, the kid can design the ferry and Cao Qu, and even the transshipment hub of that place, I hope that Shu Weng can coordinate with the princes and let the kid stay in that forest." ”
"Although the kid is not a literati, he also has the heart to pretend to be a place for the kid to pretend to be a hermit······"
Cui Sheng's face has not changed, as if he is chatting with Xu Yi, as if he is really passing the word on behalf of others: "It's okay." That's what they say. ”
The next scene was somewhat embarrassing, and Cui Ying was not there, so she couldn't reconcile. After not sitting for a while, Xu Yi left.
Before leaving, Xu Yi told Cui Sheng: "The kid really hasn't been to the transition for many days, and he should go and see it." ”
Maybe this forest can be exchanged for the benefits that Xu Yi covets, but Xu Yi didn't let Cui Sheng say the benefits of the exchange at all, he was really afraid that he couldn't help it.
In fact, compared to the financial gains, how can it be compared with befriending Yang Yuhuan?
The link with Yang Yuhuan is probably just that forest.
seems to have told Yang Yuhuan that the forest was reserved for her······
The ferry port has indeed changed, except that there is no city wall, and the entire tidal flat does not have to be a county town at all.
Even the construction of the supporting facilities of the ferry, because it is completely in accordance with Xu Yi's design, is stronger than the general county town in terms of cleanliness.
The construction of warehousing is no longer the area planned by Xu Yi at the beginning, and has really expanded to that forest.
"······ the Lord"
"Are you Huang Liumao?"
"Lord, it's small."
"Aren't you at the docks? How is it over here? ”
"Lord General, now seventy or eighty brothers are no longer working as coolies, and the master of the ferry is too busy to work, and the brothers are all helping."
"During this time, there have been people poaching trees in the forest here, and the boss asked me to take turns to take care of them. The fence of the whole forest is surrounded by brothers······"
In the end, it was his own family, Xu Yi patted Huang Liumao's shoulder and slowly entered the fence.
Along the pebblestone path, gently blown by the cool breeze in the shade of the trees, Xu Yi became more and more determined to leave this forest behind.
With this forest, you may really be able to have a place for yourself to meditate.
You can already see the pavilion in the middle of the forest, scattered wooden houses, surrounding a clearing, and the dense bamboo makes this place seem quite secret.
The more Xu Yi looked at it, the more he liked it······
"Xu Yi ······"
"Jade Lady ······"
"You ······" You ······ Okay? ”
"That's it, how are you? Do you come here often? ”
"Not really. My uncle doesn't care about me dancing anymore. Princess Xianyi often invites me, and the princess's mansion is quiet, but there is no feeling here. ”
Has she reached the point where she doesn't need to be taboo with anyone? Will you finally go on the same trajectory?
Xu Yi was a little stunned for a while.
Then, the two sat down casually, as if to return to the tacit understanding they had earlier, and naturally sat down on a bench.
Just sit dryly······
"My uncle won't let me be a concubine."
"I know."
"I love it here."
"I'll keep it."
······
I really don't know what to say, and I don't seem to need to say anything. In just these two sentences, the occurrence, development and outcome of the story have been completed.
After sitting for a long time, I don't know when Yang Yuhuan's head rested on Xu Yi's shoulder, Xu Yi's hand was on Yang Yuhuan's other shoulder, just looking at the trees scattered near and far, listening to the babbling stream under his feet, like slipping away time······
