"Su Yushi, you don't have to worry." The expert waved his hand, Su Qiange's concerns, they had already thought of it, "In the past two days, we have already explained the precautions and operation methods to everyone in detail, and we will be present throughout the whole process at that time, and there will be no problems." ”

The water conservancy experts are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they also think of the problems that may be encountered in the middle in advance, and they will definitely not let Xue Chen and Su Qiange worry.

"That's great, everyone's bothered!"

"Su Yushi doesn't have to be polite, if there is nothing wrong with the two, then we will step down, and start work early tomorrow morning, I hope the two can be there."

There are still many things to explain on the side of the Grand Canal, and it is inconvenient for the water conservancy experts to stay here, so when the matter is finished, they are ready to leave.

Tomorrow's groundbreaking ceremony, the people want to see Su Qiange more, and the experts also specially reminded them for this, hoping that they can go.

"Don't worry, we'll be there on time!" Xue Chen nodded and sent a few people out of the door.

When he entered the door, Su Qiange was standing in front of the table, staring at Xue Chen's face seriously, he met her eyes, and the two smiled tacitly, hiding all their emotions in this smile.

A rare good night's sleep, until someone knocked on the door, Su Qiange snorted dissatisfiedly, "Who!" ”

"Miss Su, Master Hou asked me to come over and invite you, saying that I would leave in an hour!"

It was the voice of the maid, thinking that Xue Chen was afraid that Su Qiange had slept, so he came over to wake her up.

"I see!" Su Qiange answered, lay down again, and then opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The hour was still early, and the moon had not completely set, so Su Qiange rolled around the quilt several times before getting up and washing.

Xue Chen had already arranged for the cook to prepare the meal, and as soon as Su Qiange served it, the cook brought the steaming porridge.

It is Su Qiange's favorite purple potato and red bean porridge, which is sweet and glutinous, which is very in line with her appetite, "Eldest sister, this porridge is really good today." ”

Su Qiange was so satisfied that she couldn't help but praise her.

"I learned a few tricks from Miss Su, if you like it!"

Su Qiange in the post station these days, the cook often followed behind her, unconsciously, cooking skills have also improved a lot, these days, people often praise her for cooking delicious, she didn't take it to heart, today heard Su Qiange personally praise, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Naturally, I like it, it's okay these days, I'll teach you a few more tricks, otherwise we won't be able to teach you when we leave."

At the mention of leaving here, Su Qiange actually felt a little sad, and his mood was also a lot lower.

"Is Miss Su leaving?" The eldest sister was obviously reluctant, she wanted to grab Su Qiange's hand and say something considerate to her, but thinking that the difference between the identities of the two was too great, she still silently withdrew her hand, and her body also took several steps back.

"It's still some time." Su Qiange realized the eldest sister's crampedness, hurriedly put down the bowl, and pulled the eldest sister's hand over, "If you want to know anything, just ask me at any time." ”

"Good, good!" The eldest sister was very grateful, but she couldn't speak.

It wasn't early, Su Qiange didn't say anything more, and left with Xue Chen after eating.

The eldest sister looked at Su Qiange's back as she left, her face was full of joy, "It's really our blessing to have someone like Miss Su appear in the north." ”

Of course, Su Qiange, who had already left, did not hear these words.

The opening of the canal is also a big event for the north, for this reason, they deliberately built a platform overnight, just hoping that this matter can have a perfect beginning, and as soon as Su Qiange and Xue Chen appeared, they were invited to the platform.

There is a table on the stage, covered with a big red flannel, and on top of the flannel is a cardboard box, in which there are drawings of the newly opened canal.

"I didn't expect them to prepare so formally!"

Su Qiange was standing at the table at this time, whispering to Xue Chen next to her, she had never liked such a high profile, and she was really a little embarrassed today.

"After all, it's a big deal, and you can't deal with it hastily!" Xue Chen understood the people's thoughts very well, and comforted Su Qiange in a low voice.

The water conservancy experts were standing under the stage directly opposite Su Qiange at this time, looking at her expectantly, "Miss Su, you can say a few words to everyone." ”

"Yes, yes, say a few words."

This should be the link that the people are most looking forward to, they raised their arms and shouted in the audience, and the cheers were higher and higher, and they stopped for a long time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that everyone came voluntarily to participate in the construction of the canal, and I, Su Qiange, on behalf of the imperial court, thank you for your kindness, and I hope that you can do your best and protect yourself."

After Su Qiange finished speaking, she bowed seriously to the audience, this is the truest thought in Su Qiange's heart, all the people who appeared in front of her at this moment were the people she wanted to thank.

"Miss Su is polite!" There were bursts of chanting from the audience, and the scene was very lively.

Su Qiange just smiled, then didn't answer again, just looked at Xue Chen's body, and motioned for him to say a few words as well.

Xue Chen stretched out his hand to open the box, took out the drawings inside, and completely unfolded it, at this time, when the sun was rising, the light shone on the drawings, covering the drawings with a circle of light, which looked divine.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court arranged for me to come here, it is for everyone to solve the problem of drought, through the efforts of these days, our water conservancy experts have found the best solution, I think everyone understands, and the amount of work is huge, thank you for your full support, I believe that after seven days, we will see a completely different north, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, then we'll officially start work today!" Xue Chen exhaled at him, Su Qiange looked up at his serious appearance, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, Xue Chen at this time was really charming.

All the people put their minds into the canal, Xue Chen and Su Qiange couldn't help except for a few words, they stayed there for a long time, and were very tactfully persuaded by the water conservancy experts to go back.

After returning to the post station, Su Qiange sat there and laughed for a long time, laughing so much that Xue Chen was a little dazed, "Ge'er, what are you laughing at?" ”

Su Qiange turned his head to look at Xue Chen, and said in the tone of the expert, "Master Hou, you see that you have nothing to do here, why don't you go back first, and we will go to the post station in the evening to report to you on the progress?" ”

"What's so funny about this?" Xue Chen didn't understand Su Qiange's laughter, and to his ears, there was no problem at all.

Su Qiange shook his head, "I'm not laughing at their words, but their attitude, don't you think they are a lot closer to you now?" ”

"Close?" This word was not used very well, but Xue Chen only dared to slander and did not say it.

"Well, you seem to be friends now, and everyone trusts you very much these days." Su Qiange nodded, it was true, compared to the respectful and respectful attitude of the water conservancy experts when they first met Xue Chen, she still preferred this attitude.

"Really? What about the song, is the song closer to me? Xue Chen can always find an opportunity to take advantage of Su Qiange, so he directly found a conversation and asked Su Qiange's intentions.

"I don't think so, I don't think so!" Su Qiange's lips were slightly invisible, and his face was righteous.

"Really?" Xue Chen raised his eyebrows, and his hand gradually approached Su Qiange, just looking at the action, it didn't look like he wanted to hug, but he had other thoughts.

"Naturally!" Su Qiange nodded, and before she could say the next words, Xue Chen began to scratch the itchy flesh on her waist with a bad heart.

Su Qiange has always been the most afraid of itching, where can he stand it, he hurriedly opened his mouth to beg for mercy, and there was a cry in his voice, "Master Hou spares his life!" ”

Xue Chen stopped his movements proudly, but his hand had no intention of leaving, "Then I'll give you another chance, lady, you have to think about it!" ”

"Ah, I didn't hear what you just said." Su Qiange quickly changed his face, pretended to be innocent, and deliberately brought his ears closer to Xue Chen, looking like he couldn't hear clearly.

"Ge'er, when I return to Beijing this time, I will ask the emperor to give me a marriage, can I?"

Xue Chen looked at Su Qiange's eyes, word by word, very seriously.

"What?" Su Qiange really didn't react at this time, didn't he just say whether the relationship was closer, why did the conversation change and become like this.

No, Su Qiange hurriedly got up, took a few steps back, and looked at Xue Chen, who was about to stand up, with an incredulous expression, "Xue Chen, if I heard correctly, you are proposing to me now." ”

"Propose?" Xue Chen didn't understand the meaning of the word too much, but he could literally guess the meaning of the word, "Yes, I am asking at this time, if Ge'er is willing, we will get married after returning to Beijing." ”

"That's too casual, isn't it?" If this is really a marriage proposal, it is really a bit abrupt, not to mention that without the slightest preparation, Su Qiange will never agree.

"Ge'er rest assured, I will ask the emperor to personally ask for marriage, and use eight sedan chairs to let you enter the Hou Mansion in a beautiful manner, and you will not be wronged." Xue Chen hurriedly explained, he has always put Su Qiange on the tip of his heart, and naturally he will not let her suffer the slightest grievance, and when he returns to the capital, he will not be less in the phoenix crown and red makeup.

"That's not what I meant!" It happened so suddenly, Su Qiange felt a little confused, she walked around in place, and thought for a long time before organizing the language.

"Xue Chen, do you know, in our place, not only the wedding day must be grand, but also the day of the marriage proposal must not be sloppy, you ask me to marry you today, you are proposing, just verbally, it is not okay."

Su Qiange is not a vain woman, but she still has her own insistence on such a sacred thing as marriage, not to mention that in her time, marriage proposal was also a very ceremonial thing, so hasty, naturally not.

"I see, I'm abrupt, then Ge'er, what am I going to do?" Diligent and inquisitive has always been Xue Chen's wise words, although he can't quite understand the meaning of Su Qiange's marriage proposal, but he also knows that as suddenly as today as it is, she will never agree to herself.

Su Qiange's face turned red after realizing it, she sat back in the chair, stared at Xue Chen seriously, and then said, "This matter cannot be discussed with me, but I can remind you that a marriage proposal is a very romantic thing, and girls hope to receive a very surprising gift that day, do you know?" ”

"I see." Xue Chen nodded ignorantly, and didn't know if it was really clear, just whispered a few words, and then casually found a reason to go out, and before leaving, he specially promised Su Qiange that he would definitely give her a very surprising gift.

When Xue Chen's figure disappeared completely, Su Qiange couldn't help laughing, and that smile was full of happiness.
