Chapter 137 [True or False]

The master and servant stood and spoke for a while, and then Qi Jingtian left first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Standing in the huge earthen building, Chen Ruolan also felt a little novel. This house was already strange-looking, and what Qi Jingtian had just said about Tai Chi gossip and the like, she was even more curious in her heart.

The girl looked left and right, touched the newly built solid wall with her hand, and walked to the well, looking into the well.

This place is very close to the river, and the underground water source is abundant, so the well was dug less than two feet before the water was seen, and the water quality was still very clear, reflecting her face very clearly.

From time to time, she turned her head to look in the direction of the gate, but the person who was waiting was delayed.

"What do you have to talk to them...... "The girl muttered quietly, and then walked slowly up the wooden staircase of the outer building, carrying the hem of her skirt, alone.

The sound of footsteps sounded softly, and the girl walked from the first floor to the fourth floor, stopped and watched for a while, and then looked all the way down from the fourth floor, and carefully inspected almost every room. The new inn will be put into use in a few days, and as the owner, this amount of work cannot be saved.

After inspecting the outer building, her eyes naturally focused on the inner building. Stepping into the low threshold, and about to take a closer look at the room in the inner building, the familiar figure finally appeared.

Li Qingshan had already seen the girl, and called her name affectionately.

The girl's face was slightly red, a little nervous, she looked around, although it was empty, she still said, "Li Gongzi, you ...... Be quiet. ”

"There's no one here, what are you afraid of?" Li Qingshan said something in his mouth, but when he turned around, he bolted the door.

"Now you can rest assured, I also bolted the door outside, and no one will be able to enter."

Hearing him say this, the flush on the girl's face did not seem to disappear, but deepened.

Although the courtyard in the center of the inner building was quite large, there were only the two of them at the moment, which inevitably made her feel a little uncomfortable.

He bolted the inside and outside doors, and it was a very enclosed space. Last time he was so presumptuous under the tree at the edge of the field, hugging her and kissing and touching, today he was blocked here, how is this good?

If he goes up and down again......

As soon as she thought of this, the girl was a little flustered, and the deer in her heart collided. The education she received since she was a child made her reject this from her bones, and the situation under the tree that day was really unexpected, and she secretly regretted it afterwards, so today she was naturally wary.

Seeing that her pretty face suddenly turned red, Li Qingshan was a little innocent, spread his hands and laughed: "Ruolan, I didn't do anything, I just bolted the door so that others wouldn't disturb us, I ...... I'm really innocent. ”

The girl pretended to glare at him angrily, and said shamefully, "Let's talk about it first, you can't ...... today You can't be as presumptuous as you were back then. ”

Li Qingshan pretended not to know what she was talking about: "Which day? What's wrong with me? ”

The girl ignored his words, and glared at him lightly: "If you ...... again, In that case, I'm just- I'll run away! ”

These childish words came out of her mouth, coupled with the vigilance on her face, as well as the shy and timid look, it was really unique, and Li Qingshan's heart was about to melt.

She used to be a little cold, and it was difficult to have a smiling face, let alone shyness. But recently, the situation has improved a lot, and the whole person seems to be cheerful and shy.

"Got it," Afraid that she would really run away, Li Qingshan hurriedly responded with a smile, "Ruolan, I just want to talk to you, you don't have to be so nervous." ”

Seeing the girl's shyness, his eyes suddenly became tender, and he strode up to the girl's side, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Actually, I didn't mean it that day, although I am not Yanagishita Megumi, but I am not a disciple...... It's just that I was really happy at that moment, so I couldn't help it for a while, so I ......"

"Don't say any more!" Thinking of the lingering that day, the girl's pretty face suddenly turned red again, and hurriedly stopped him from talking further.

There were long stone benches in the courtyard, and the two of them sat down afterwards, and as soon as the girl sat down to hide her panic, she asked him about the monkey.

"Monkeys? Why did you suddenly ask about the monkeys? ”

Li Qingshan was a little depressed, he finally had a chance to be alone, what kind of monkey is it, it's almost the same to have a monkey together. However, he knew that women in ancient times were very conservative, so he didn't dare to joke.

The girl immediately took out Boss Sun's letter and showed it to him, and Li Qingshan laughed out loud while reading it.

"Ruolan, do you remember? That Boss Sun heard me say that monkeys can cure horse diseases, and he couldn't wait to see me eat those monkeys with my own eyes, but I didn't expect it, but now I finally believe it. ”

"Of course I remember," thinking of the scene at that time, Chen Ruolan also wanted to laugh a little, "But, what is going on with those monkeys?" Have you domesticated them? ”

"Where is there any need for domestication," Li Qingshan shook his head, and when he saw that she was puzzled, he patiently explained, "...... Monkeys are naturally fond of catching lice or bugs from each other. When they arrived in the stables, they were left alone and had to catch them from the horses. So as long as they are around, those horses basically don't have any skin diseases, and even if they do, they will get better quickly. ”

Regarding the benefits of raising monkeys in the stables, it has been very popular since the Song Dynasty, and this method has even spread to distant Japan.

There is often such a mutually beneficial relationship between animals, and monkeys and horses are prime examples. In addition to helping the horses clean their bodies, the monkeys are active and often disturb the horses when they are tethered in the stables, so that the horses can move more and can also protect them from diseases. The reason why Sun Monkey was named Bi Ma Wen by the Jade Emperor was because the monkeys in the stable could "avoid horse plague".

"I see......"

The girl listened with relish, and then thought for a long time with her chin propped up.

Since monkeys are so helpful to horses, it is worth promoting......

Hearing what he said for a while, and seeing that he was really quite regular, the girl relaxed her vigilance, thought about it, and turned her head sideways and asked: "Then what about the words you wrote to Miss Gao in front of the post house just now, what kind of worker ants, soldier ants, what is going on?" ”

Li Qingshan was about to explain to her, but the girl suddenly covered his mouth with her hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about it yet." ”

"Why?" At this time, Li Qingshan was a little curious, and looked at her with wide eyes.

The girl bit her lip before she whispered: "Miss Gao will definitely ask you about this matter later, since Lord Gao asked me to accompany you to learn painting, I must be present when Miss Gao asks, so let's listen to it together." ”

"Clams? Why is that? Li Qingshan wondered.

He really couldn't understand what was going on in a woman's mind. Other women are okay, but now he only has Chen Ruolan in his heart, so he is inevitably a little curious about her thoughts.

The girl turned to look at him sideways, and replied with a heartfelt voice: "In this way, my reaction is natural." That tall girl is a careful person at first glance, and if I had known earlier, she would have seen it by then. ”

What kind of reason is this? Li Qingshan was a little speechless for a while, looking defeated.

"As for being so particular?" After a long time, he finally asked weakly, "You just know this before her, what can you mean?" I really don't get it. ”

"It shows that our relationship is not ordinary." The girl said without thinking.

"And then?"

The girl's body stiffened slightly, as if she regretted saying too quickly just now, and was silent for a moment before lowering her head and saying softly: "I don't want Miss Gao to know about our relationship." ”

Li Qingshan had been giggling just now, thinking that she was teasing herself, but when she heard her say this at this time, she realized that she was not joking.

He pondered it carefully and felt that this reason was really ridiculous, so he also turned around, sat cross-legged on the stone chair, gently grabbed the girl's hands, and said with a straight face: "Ruolan, you and my man and my unmarried woman are unmarried, even if the relationship between us is known to Miss Gao, what does it matter?" We can't just keep sneaking around like this, can we? ”

"This ......" the girl retracted her hands slightly, frowning, not knowing where to start.

Li Qingshan saw that she looked like she wanted to say something, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Ruolan, you don't want me to soak her, do you?" ”

The girl looked up at him: "What do you call a bubble?" ”

Li Qingshan was speechless for a while, so he had to explain a little bit what bubbles were. Although this verb is simple, it is really difficult to explain, but fortunately, Chen Ruolan is very smart, he only said a few words randomly, and the other party already understood.

The girl looked at him, blinked, and under her long eyelashes, a pair of eyes were full of incomparably complicated looks, and then asked, "What if—what if I just want you to soak her?" ”

After she finished asking, she stared at the young man nervously, hoping that he would agree, but also hoping that he would refuse, and her heart was really complicated to the extreme.

Li Qingshan was a little caught off guard for a while, looking at her blankly, not knowing how to answer.

Woman, what's going on in your heart?

"Well, I've been defeated by you." After being stunned for a long time, the young man shrugged his shoulders and said, "But, you have to give me a reason for such a strange request, right?" ”

"Of course there are reasons," the girl sighed softly, and said quietly, "It's those licking bricks, and now, there are more monkeys......

"What is this? Why don't I understand what you're saying at all? Li Qingshan was a little anxious, and asked loudly, "Why do you want me to soak her?" What does she have to do with licking bricks and monkeys? ”

He really couldn't figure out what kind of play this was playing, Beauty and the Beast?

"Don't worry, I naturally have my reasons." The girl's tone was very calm.

"Okay," Li Qingshan took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down, "What reason?" Tell me about it. ”

"You know better than me the effect of licking bricks, if this thing is popularized on a large scale, the combat effectiveness of the horses of the Great Sui will definitely be greatly improved. And the role of the monkey, as you just said, can greatly reduce the disease of horses, and this method is also very worthy of promotion, and it is not complicated at all......," the girl explained slowly.

But Li Qingshan was a little anxious: "Yes, aren't we doing these things now?" Licking bricks has gradually opened up a market in the area, and as for the monkeys, although it will be difficult at first, once the owners understand what they do......"

"It's too slow!" The girl interrupted him, "Relying on our own strength to do these things will be very slow. And these things can't be pushed forward as quickly as ladybugs, because I don't want Chen Guoren to know about them. If they also knew, we would have done useless work. ”

There is some truth to this, Li Qingshan couldn't help but nodded, "But what does this have to do with Miss Gao?" Why did you want me to soak her? ”

The girl's heart tingled faintly, and she was silent for a long time before she suddenly asked, "Do you know who Miss Gao's uncle is?" ”

"Who?" Li Qingshan's eyes were blank.

"Gao Gong!" The girl said loudly.

"Gao Gong?" Li Qingshan's two eyes suddenly opened a little wide.

How could Gao Gong not know that a generation of famous ministers, Yang Jian can dominate the world, and Gao Gong is absolutely a great contribution. To put it mildly, if you want to select the top ten famous ministers in the long history of China, there must be the name of Gao Gong in it.

"Yes," the girl nodded with great affirmation, "the current Shangshu Provincial Left Servant Gao Gong is Gao Ji's clan brother, that is, Gao Ji's uncle. ”

Hearing this, Li Qingshan already understood her thoughts a little.

It is feasible to use market means to promote these things, but the process is long, but if the current imperial court can be allowed to use administrative orders to promote brick licking and other things from top to bottom, then this process that originally lasted for several years will be greatly shortened, and the goal can even be quickly achieved in just one or two months.

Sure enough, I only heard the girl continue: "Miss Gao has been beautiful since she was a child, and she is ice and snow smart, I heard that Gao Gong loves her very much, and regards her as if she is out, and loves her even more than his own biological daughter. If you can ......, you can soak in Miss Gao and capture her heart, maybe as long as she writes a letter, this matter can come true immediately! ”

Her expectations for this matter are obviously far more than that, "Also, in addition to licking bricks, there is also your idea of an automatic irrigation system, if it is really feasible and led by the imperial court to vigorously promote it among the people, the effect is really amazing, and the national strength of the Great Sui will be ...... soon."

She gushed about her longing, not noticing that Li Qingshan's face had become a little ugly.

At this moment, his heart was a little cold.

Thinking of the fact that in the Gaoqi Mansion just now, Chen Ruolan tried her best to promote the study of painting, and then thinking of what she said just now, he had a huge doubt in his heart.

"So you didn't hesitate to push me to Miss Gao for this matter, didn't you? Learning to paint is just an excuse, your real purpose is to buy me time with Miss Gao, right? ”

The girl nodded, lowered her head and sighed: "It's a pity that I am a daughter, and this matter can only be ...... by you."

Hearing her say this, Li Qingshan's face was even more gloomy, and the doubt in his heart became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh softly.

"Ruolan, I thought I knew you, but it wasn't until this time that I realized that perhaps, I didn't know you as well as I thought I did."

The girl seemed to finally notice the change in his tone, and looked at him nervously, "I, I'm ......, did I embarrass you by doing this?" ”

"I can't say it, I'm just a little ...... Smell a rat. ”

"Suspect what?"

Li Qingshan didn't answer her question, and fell into a long silence, and the girl seemed to be a little uneasy, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Neither of them realized that at this moment, on the fourth floor behind them, a man was pricking up his ears and listening nervously to the conversation between them.

"What's wrong with you?" The girl finally broke the silence and asked, "Are you angry because I didn't consult you beforehand?" ”

Li Qingshan sighed: "Ruolan, Gao Ji, Gao Xueling, the relationship between the two of them and Gao Gong, you must have found out before coming to Orange Xiangyi, didn't you?" ”

The girl looked at him and nodded, her heart even more uneasy, because she rarely heard Li Qingshan speak to her in such a strange tone.

"I used to be a little curious, why did you come to Tangerine Fragrance Station to take root? Although the orange fragrance post is a big station, when it comes to business conditions, compared to any county, I am afraid that it is still much worse. Now that I think about it, you're here because you're afraid you're here because of their relationship, right? ”

The girl didn't deny it, nodded and whispered: "This is indeed an important reason, what's wrong?" ”

"Do you want me to get close to Gao Xueling, did you have this idea before that day?" Li Qingshan finally asked, his voice trembling slightly at this moment.

The girl was stunned: "Which day?" ”

Li Qingshan Huo Ran raised his head and looked deeply at her face, his eyes were like blades, as if he wanted to see through her elusive heart, "It was the day I hugged you, kissed you, and told you that I liked you on the day under that tree!" Before that day, you already wanted to borrow my hand to get close to Gao Xueling? Or, was it after that day? ”

This question was a little strange, and the girl was suddenly a little surprised, "Does this matter?" ”

"It may not matter to you, but to me, it does...... You tell me, okay? ”

"I ...... I don't remember, I really don't remember. The girl seemed a little frightened, and said in a trembling voice.

Li Qingshan was a little disappointed, he wanted to hear her say that this idea was only available today, but she said that she didn't remember, which means that she had this idea for a long time.

She is thoughtful and calculating, and in order not to expose their relationship in front of Gao Xueling, she even counted herself. If she was already planning all this at that time, it can only show that her feelings may also be fake!

She uses him and calculates him, and he doesn't care about it, but if even this relationship is fake, he really can't accept it.

Looking at the girl's beautiful face, Li Qingshan felt so strange for the first time, why was the woman who made him think about it so elusively?

After thinking about it for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and asked: "That day under the tree, you hugged me, is it sincere, or ...... Hypocrisy? ”

Although this question was a bit cruel, he had to ask it.

The girl didn't expect him to ask such a question, and she was stunned for a while.

Wholehearted?

Hypocrisy?

Looking at the young man in front of her, thinking of the obsession with revenge in her heart, she couldn't tell the difference for a while.

In her heart, which is more important?

"If you really have me in your heart, how can you push me to other women with your own hands?"

The girl still didn't know how to answer, but there were already faint tears flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, there was a clear sound in the floor behind them.

"Who?" Li Qingshan turned his head abruptly and shouted loudly.

He didn't expect that there were still people hiding here, and it was really not good for outsiders to hear what he said just now.

A familiar face crept out from behind the guardrail on the top floor, its expression like that of a child knocking over a dish, waiting for its parents to scold loudly.

Chen Ruolan was also a little surprised, "Tang'er, you ...... How did you end up here? (To be continued.) )
