Chapter 20: Developing Industries
Li and Xi Laoer's eyes are only on small cheapness, and the most despicable and inferior are the best to deal with.
Xi Duyun also has to thank them for not being as resourceful and scheming as they are on TV or in the novel.
Otherwise, Xi Duyun may not be able to cope with the two heads, so he can only say that he is glad that Xi Lao Er and Li are stupid.
"Twilight." Qi Lichen stood beside Xi Duyun and spoke coldly. Xi Duyun rarely heard her call her by her name, and looked at Qi Lichen in puzzlement, coldly bumped into Qi Lichen's inquiring gaze, and her heart tightened.
"What's wrong? Looking at me like this, my face is spent? Xi Duyun couldn't laugh or cry at his burning gaze, and joked.
"After getting along these days, you have made me feel that I have changed a lot, in the end, I was preparing for the autumn exam a while ago, and I couldn't come to see you from time to time, the Li family must have been embarrassed by you, so it caused your temperament to change greatly."
The autumn exam is particularly important for scholars, and Qi Lichen almost didn't leave the study for the autumn exam, so he naturally neglected Xi Duyun's side. When he came back to his senses, the Xi Duyun in front of him was no longer the Xi Duyun he had known.
Xi Duyun was frightened for a while when he knew something, and then his heart was relieved after listening to his words. Xi Duyun secretly scolded himself for being stupid, the matter of crossing was nonsense for ordinary people, how could Qi Lichen think of it.
"What am I doing when you are here, it turned out to be for this. Qi Daju has a lot of hearts, I just don't want to endure it anymore. ”
The wind blew the headband around, Xi Duyun grabbed the headband, his eyes were deep, Qi Lichen glanced at it, something took root in his heart. The woman's face is thin, so the silhouette is three-dimensional and neat, but not mean, but rather heroic.
"It's time for you to change your name to me, always calling Qi Daju, weird yin and yang, and not close to listening." Qi Lichen stared at Xi Duyun for a long time, and said.
Xi Duyun's body stiffened, and he turned his head to look at Qi Lichen stiffly, Qi Lichen had a cold face as always, he couldn't see joy or anger, but his tone was serious.
Qi Lichen bit the word "close" very hard, obviously deliberately reminding Xi Duyun.
Xi Duyun shouted that he was used to "Qi Daju people" and didn't think so, Qi Lichen couldn't help but feel a little yin and yang in his ears when he heard it.
The person in front of him looked at himself without blinking, and Xi Duyun raised his eyes, is this guy serious?
"Cough" Xi Duyun faked a cough to avoid Qi Lichen's eyes: "I'm not used to calling people by their names, so let's call them Qi Gongzi." ”
Xi Duyun grinned, the wind was very strong, and the hairband on her head danced wildly in the wind, as if blowing through the mountains behind her, and also into a person's heart.
"The subordinates of the pavilion master have done what they ordered, and they will do it as if they were robbed, and the on-site handling is very neat, and no one will find out about it." The oil lamp in the room was dim, and the sound of the white night did not have the slightest wave, standing in the corner like a ghost.
Qi Lichen added some lamp oil to the oil lamp, and the flickering flames on the wick were reflected in his eyes, which was strange and cold.
"The child was also dealt with?" The indifferent voice seemed to ask how many leaves had fallen outside, and it didn't matter.
"Yes, there is no living mouth." The color of the white clothes on Bai Ye's body today is lighter, not the bright and glowing color of the past.
"Very good, from today onwards, you have forgotten about this matter, you don't know who the second Xi is, let alone seen it."
The moonlight outside the window came in, and the silver-white moonlight dyed the moonlight a little cool. A ray of moonlight fell on the jade pendant placed on the table, the jade pendant was emerald green, hollowed out into a peony flower pattern, and in the middle was a Qi character.
Qi Lichen's eyes darkened, he got up and closed the window, sat back in front of the desk and continued to look through the book in his hand.
"My subordinates understand." Bai Ye glanced at the jade pendant on the table, and a complicated emotion flashed in his heart, after so many years, the pavilion master still couldn't let go of the things of the year, but Qingyu Pavilion was originally set up for the ambition of the pavilion master.
"Qi Lichen!" A voice sounded from outside the courtyard gate, Qi Lichen glanced at Bai Ye, the position of the window was facing the courtyard gate, and now don't think about going out of the window.
Qi Lichen glanced at the only place in the room where people could hide: "Go in." ”
"Huh?" Bai Ye looked at the place indicated by Qi Lichen's eyes, and his scalp was numb.
"Are you going to sleep this hour? It's been so long to come out, but I woke you up? ”
As soon as Qi Lichen opened the door, Xi Duyun asked, caught a glimpse of Qi Lichen wearing neat clothes, and silently took the words back.
"It's more dewy, why come here at this time." Qi Lichen frowned and closed the courtyard door.
"Is Gongzi Qi still a mustard for men and women to kiss? The left and right have been engaged, I came here on business, it's a little cold outside, let's go in and talk. Twilight was shivering in the wind, and walked straight to the door.
Walking to the door, Xi Duyun stopped, turned around and asked, "Can I go in?" ”
Qi Lichen's face was slightly stiff, and just as he was about to speak, a gust of wind blew on the ground, Xi Duyun shuddered, Qi Lichen didn't speak, she thought he agreed, so she hurriedly hid in the house.
The window was closed, the bright moon hung in the sky, Qi Lichen sighed and followed into the house.
"Do you remember the day you were hired?" Xi Duyun leaned over to the oil lamp, wondering if it would be warmer.
Qi Lichen took out the hand stove in the cabinet, went to the kitchen and put a few pieces of charcoal that were still red in the hand stove and gave them to Xi Duyun.
"Naturally, I remember." Qi Lichen sat down in front of the bed and pushed the quilt in his hand.
Although Xi Duyun was not suspicious of men and women living in the same room, it was not the same thing for a lonely man and a widow to sit on a bed in the middle of the night, so he consciously moved the bench and sat down opposite Qi Lichen.
"I happened to get a map, and I looked at the place it pointed out and found a sugar cane forest."
Qi Lichen's eyes flashed when he heard the map, but he didn't ask, he was more curious about the sugar cane forest than the map.
"Sugar cane? What is it? Qi Lichen thinks that he has seen the world, and he has never heard of what sugar cane is.
"Well...... It's a crop that hasn't come out yet, in short, it's a good thing to make money, how can you be without this kind of thing, I came to ask if you want to join me? ”
Xi Duyun said with her eyes shining, and smiled secretly in her heart, half of her words were true, mainly because of the lack of coolies, she had no money to hire people to work, so she naturally had to pull Qi Lichen in.
"Since it's not out yet, how can you be sure you're going to make money?" Qi Lichen joked that Xi Duyun was measured in his actions, and he just intended to ridicule.
"Hehe, don't you know, sugarcane can be made into sweet food and condiments, such as cane sugar, candy, etc., let's go back to the back mountain to chop some sugarcane and come back, I'll show you you you will know."
Xi Duyun's gaze inadvertently swept over the jade pendant on the table, and the jade pendant was not an ordinary thing at first glance, and it was not something that ordinary people could get.
"Words ......"
"Chirp!"
Xi Duiyun was just about to say something, when a sneeze suddenly sounded, and Xi Duiyun and Qi Lichen were both stunned.
