Chapter 24: Thoughts
Faced with Bai Ying's sudden displeasure, Cangzhu was even more worried.
"What's wrong with you?"
He asked again, only to get Bai Ying's number as soon as his words fell.
"What's wrong with me, you're still asking? Obviously, he was injured, but not only did he not have a good rest, but he was also dancing and writing here. Doesn't it matter what your own body is? ”
She said angrily, looking like she hated iron but not steel, so angry that she wanted to curse.
Cangshu grabbed her hands and comforted her, and said, "This king is originally a small injury, and it doesn't matter anymore after taking the medicine." Besides, with Ying'er here, how could this king not take care of his body? This king is still waiting to marry you home. ”
This remark made Bai Ying's face turn red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at the other party.
Bai Ying, who suddenly became reserved, softened Cangshu's heart.
He leaned closer to her and asked gently, "Tell this king, are you feeling better?" ”
Obviously, he was the most seriously injured, but he came to ask her if she was better?
Is this how Uncle Thirteen puts her first? Caring for her more than for himself?
Bai Ying, who was moved by Cangshu, gathered up her previous shyness and looked at his face intently, as if she didn't feel enough at this moment.
"Uncle Thirteen, I'm much better, you don't have to worry about me." She said calmly and affirmatively.
The thirteenth uncle, who has always been calm, will only have the look that a man should have when facing himself.
Is this a sign of self-love?
Although she said with such certainty that she was fine, Uncle Thirteen still had an expression that I still didn't believe.
Bai Ying, who was helpless by his appearance, sighed lightly, returned to his previous eccentricity, and said, "It's that in the dinner you prepared, the smell of medicine is too strong." Although it tastes delicious, I still feel like I have taken the medicine for dinner! ”
Bai Ying said, still pouting angrily, blowing the bangs on his forehead.
Cangshu, who was infected by her appearance, finally gathered her worries, breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the arm of the chair, and reached out and gently touched her forehead.
"You little girl."
His tone was full of his affection for him.
Soothing Cangshu's worries, Bai Ying excitedly held his hand and asked, "Thirteenth uncle, I have a few questions for you." ”
"Tell me, and tell you everything the king knows." Atractylodes put his arm around her and replied happily.
"That's right. On the way here, I saw a piece of abandoned land not far from the garden, do you have the right of first refusal? ”
After hearing this, Cangshu did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically, "What do you want to do?" ”
"You answer me first, and I'll tell you what I'm going to do."
Bai Ying said angrily, because he didn't get an answer immediately, he punched him directly.
It's just that the force seems to be hitting cotton, useless, and in the eyes of Atractylodes, it looks like a coquette.
Cangshu grabbed her moving hand and pulled her up, then turned around and sat down in the chair, and then held the person in his arms.
The action is very neat and done in one go.
Suddenly, being held made Bai Ying blush, and hurriedly staggered his eyes that were looking directly at Cangshu, and hung down, not daring to move.
Bai Ying, who suddenly became well-behaved, made Cangshu very satisfied.
He stroked her head, his eyes softly looking at the person in his arms.
"This garden is a treasure of feng shui found by the emperor when he was alive, surrounded by mountains and rivers, full of aura, and is best used to escape the heat. Due to the remote location, there was no need to dismiss the surrounding people, and the construction was completed relatively quickly......"
From the words of the thirteenth uncle, she learned that when the garden was built, the land of the first emperor's circle was unusually large.
After the garden was built, half of the remaining land was used for planting trees, and the remaining half was completely abandoned and left untended.
After the garden was given to the thirteenth uncle, the first emperor was in poor health, and the thirteenth uncle had no energy to pay attention to the garden, so he only handed it over to Basil to take care of.
And Basil didn't have the order of the thirteenth uncle, so he naturally didn't dare to build a large number of buildings.
It wasn't until this garden came into contact with her that she had an idea.
They had only arrived this evening, so naturally they did not have time to appreciate the beauty of the garden.
Now that I know the general situation from Uncle Thirteen, I have a lot of expectations for the garden.
"You gave me the waist card of the garden, does it mean that I am also the owner of this garden, and I also have the priority of land use?"
Bai Ying took out the waist card that Basil handed to him, hooked his fingers on the lanyard on the waist card and turned it around, looking at Cangzhu expectantly, hoping that he could get the most satisfactory answer from him.
Cangshu took the waist card in Bai Ying's hand and said with a smile: "Of course, this garden was originally meant to be given to you." Girl, you haven't told this king what you're going to do. ”
Cangshu looked at his question and was almost confused, and reached out to pinch Bai Ying's nose.
Bai Ying slapped Cangshu's hand away and rubbed his nose.
Her eyes were rolling as her mind tried to sort out her thoughts so that she could answer naturally.
In the summer of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the southern part of Luoguo was hit by the most serious locust plague in history, and the people's crops were not harvested, and a large number of victims flocked to the capital.
The grain allocated by the imperial court was privately withheld by officials, and some were sold to the people at a high price.
It can be described as trading with life-saving food!
Bandits and bandits also know that rabbits don't eat grass next to their nests, and thieves don't steal life-saving money.
Those officials are simply unconscionable and vain as parents and officials!
At that time, although she only learned some truths from Xu Jiang's mouth, it was enough to make her extremely angry.
The thirteenth uncle is even more for this matter, from a carefree prince to a desperate San Lang, and even more because he is tired from that matter, he is still running around on the front line.
In short, that drought formed an indelible scar in the hearts of the people of Los Angeles.
Although they did not hate the officials to the core, they were also wary of three points.
Now she saw the vast wasteland, and it was fertile land, but it was abandoned by people, and it did not serve its proper purpose.
If she can reclaim the land and plant crops, it will come in handy by this time next year, saving many people.
She didn't want to have a good reputation, she just didn't want the people to lose their lives because of corrupt officials.
Life is so precious, how can it be lost because of the greed of others?
"I want to reclaim that piece of land and plant crops, can I do that?"
She asked cautiously, for fear that the thirteenth uncle in front of her would give her a negative answer.
Because her current request is different from usual, not on the spur of the moment, but also after careful consideration.
Cangzhu thought that she would say what it would be for, it turned out that she was just going to plant crops.
"If you just want to plant and play, this king has people find a piece of land in the garden and reclaim it for you to play with, why run outside, how tired."
She knew that Uncle Thirteen would definitely refuse this matter.
Uncle Thirteen didn't let her play with the dirt in the field since she was a child, not to mention that now that she has grown up, it is estimated that she will have to educate herself with all kinds of etiquette.
"I don't want that, I want to reclaim that land. Besides, there's no way out that land is deserted! ”
Bai Ying, who said this, got up directly from Cangshu, her expression was slightly excited, and her tone was much higher than usual.
Such a Bai Ying had never been seen before, and the firmness and persistence of those eyes fascinated him.
He walked up to her, bent down to meet hers, and clasped her shoulders with both hands.
"Ying'er, I know you won't make such a request suddenly, you didn't reclaim that piece of land to pass the time, let alone play. Tell me, what the hell are you for. ”
Bai Ying closed her eyes and said in her heart: What should come will come.
She didn't plan to hide anything from Uncle Thirteen, but if she said it directly, it would cause a lot of trouble.
After all, who can see what will happen in the future, such a thing made out of nothing, it will only be regarded as a joke when it is said.
In desperation, she lowered her head, looked at the tips of her shoes, took a deep breath and raised her head to look at Cangshu, and said, "Uncle Thirteen, if I say that I have a hunch that there will be natural disasters at this time next year, and the harm is something we never expected, would you believe it?" ”
"I believe it!"
The sentence "I believe" moved Bai Ying's heart.
From the very beginning, he claimed to have changed from "this king" to "me" again, which is clearly the greatest respect for himself.
Now that he believes in himself unconditionally, the feelings for Uncle Thirteen in his heart are even more complicated.
Is it love, gratitude, or guilt?
Perhaps, it's the former.
"I knew that Uncle Thirteen, you were the best."
Bai Ying hugged Cangzhu excitedly, then mischievously let go, and reached out to pat the other party's shoulder.
"I'll come back to you tomorrow to discuss the matter of reclaiming wasteland, it's late, Uncle Thirteen, you have to rest early."
After saying that, she turned around and left quickly, not giving Cangshu a chance to speak at all.
Looking at her departing back, Cangshu smiled helplessly, "What an eccentric lord!" ”
Seeing Bai Ying leave, he turned back to the desk and sat down, looking at the flickering candlelight on the table, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
Ying'er used to make some incomprehensible requests to him, and whenever he asked why, she would always give herself the same answer, which was fun.
This time, he treated her on a whim, but he got an answer that was beyond his expectations.
He doesn't know if there will be a big natural disaster at this time next year, but since Ying'er said it, he will naturally satisfy her unconditionally.
He may have doubts about her, but in the end he believes unconditionally.
Not for anything else, just because I can't see the other party's disappointed look.
Regardless of whether there is a natural disaster or not, he should reclaim the wasteland and plant plants to give Ying'er a chance to accumulate virtue and do good.
Thinking of this, he stood up and retrieved the map from the bookcase behind him.
Gently blow the dust off the map, open it, spread it on the table, and start thinking about the implementation plan.
He took the pen and drew in circles on it, but as the number of strokes increased, the final delay became more and more delayed, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.
After all, there is still a big problem!
