Chapter Seventy-Two: The Land of Dreams
Sending away the third uncle and Chen Dayou, who came excitedly and left satisfied, Xiao Quzhi hugged He Keer again in the office in the middle to talk about opening a money bank, and there was also the matter of building a house with cement.
Although the cement block that Chen Dayou took just now that had already condensed was broken into powder by Xiao Quzhi with a slight pinch, Xiao Quzhi did not think that it must be that the cement was not burned well, or it could be that the concrete formula was not done well or the time had not come.
Anyway, the cement has been burned, how to formulate the standards for cement firing, as well as the standards for concrete formula and construction, Xiao Quzhi has already said that he will probably hand it over to Chen Dayou and them to do.
It is believed that in less than ten days, the cement that can really be used to build houses and roads will be mass-produced. As for the research funding and the upfront investment in the construction of cement kilns, it is not a problem at all. After confiscating Wang Jie's property, he can now be regarded as the one with the most cash in Chang'an City.
"Xiao Lang, how big a career do you want to do? Why do you want to build such a workshop (factory) and arrange the lives of so many people in addition to the Four Seas Trading Company? Don't you want to think about yourself? ”
He Ke'er was hugged by Xiao Quzhi and sat on her lap, twisted her body and asked Xiao Quzhi with a serious face, her face was flushed, and she sucked her little nose.
"Huh? Lady, you're right, where is the thing done all at once? These are things to do later, and I can get someone else to do it for me. I'm in charge of making the rules, speaking the idea, pointing the way, and they're in charge of doing things. When the time comes, you and I will supervise and manage these leaders who help me, okay? ”
Xiao Quzhi said with a smile, Ke'er is right, if you have to do so many things by yourself, or let Ke'er help you do it, even if you are busy with two people, you can't finish it.
"Of course that's good." He Ke'er's smile was like a flower, her eyes were like water, and the faint fragrance of orchid and musk on her body became stronger and stronger, Xiao Quzhi obviously heard it, and her heartbeat accelerated a little: "Let's say goodbye, right?" ”
"Say what?" Xiao Quzhi said curiously.
He Ke'er lowered her head slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her face turned red again: "Ke'er has always been very curious, you always said that you fell in love with me at first sight when you first saw me......
After hesitating for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he continued: "But Ke'er has always been very strange, what is there about Ke'er that makes you fall in love at first sight?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her whole face and neck were red as if they were about to drip blood, and it was obvious that this question had been in her mind for many days.
In the past, she was actually extremely confident in her appearance, because she was relatively independent since she was a child, and the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, in He Keer's subconscious, she did not have the idea of pleasing people with color, and she didn't care much about appearance.
And she is indeed beautiful in all aspects, her skin is even more snow-white and delicate, except that her body is not plump enough and her face is not round enough, but as long as she is willing to gain weight, in the eyes of most people, her appearance is immediately better than Yang Guifei.
I didn't care if I didn't have a sweetheart before, but since she privately established a relationship with Xiao Quai, He Keer has not thought about changing her mind for her beloved, even if she rejects plump body shape in her heart.
If Xiao Qu'er told her now, I like Yang Guifei's body shape, He Ke'er is willing to gain weight for him, but Xiao Qu'er didn't say anything, and then He Ke'er has been troubled by this problem from time to time in the past few days.
"Huh?" Xiao Quzhi smiled when he looked at her like this, hugged her tightly, and gently stroked her pretty face with his hand: "Why did you think of asking this?" Actually, I can't say ......."
"Anyway, I saw the right eye at first sight, that day in the West Market, I first heard your soft and soft voice, and I thought it sounded good. I really want to know if the owner of this voice is good-looking, so I will look for it, look for it, and I will find you in the crowd. Then I was amazed, I thought you were the best-looking person I had ever seen since I came down the mountain, especially your clear, smart, talking, big eyes, which attracted me at once! ”
He Ke'er smiled shyly, charming and moving, smiling like the first bloom of a spring flower, but tried her best to make an extremely serious expression: "You didn't lie to me? Do you think I'm too thin and not rich enough? ”
Xiao Quzhi was stunned for 0.1 seconds, and laughed out loud: "It turns out that this is what you are thinking in your heart, I think you are not thin at all, and your figure is so good." I have always believed that the aesthetics of most people in Datang are problematic.
You don't know, when Master and I were practicing in the mountains, we once went to a dream country, where girls were looking for lightness, slenderness, and slenderness. In order to lose weight, many girls have been losing weight all their lives and are afraid to eat anything. If they know that you eat every day when you want, and you are in such good shape, they will be jealous to death! ”
Xiao Qu'er is 1.81 meters tall, the two stand flat and hug each other, Xiao Qu'er just happened to be able to kiss near Ke'er's eyes, and he Ke'er is about 1.73 meters tall and weighs about 110 pounds, and his figure is really good.
"Aesthetic? The land of dreams? He Ke'er's eyes lit up, obviously very interested in the dream country that Xiao Quzhi said.
"Aesthetics is the evaluation of beauty and ugliness, for example, I once met a woman whose face was full of fat and ugly enough, but she still had to put a thick layer of powder. The eyebrows are drawn thick and short, like an inverted figure-eight, and the lips are drawn like monkey butts.
She looks like this, in my opinion, she is almost like a monster, but in the eyes of many Tang people, they will probably think that she is very good-looking. That's the difference in aesthetics, I think it's them that have a problem. ”
Xiao Quzhi guessed that this may be caused by the Tang Dynasty's too heavy Hu Qi and too strong folk customs. The Tang Dynasty did not advocate too delicate beauty, and was more influenced by the nomads of the steppe, advocating a more robust body. Whether it is a person or a horse, or even the writing of the brush is like this, all of them pursue fat and vigorous.
By extension, the flowers that the Tang people like are such noble and plump peonies, Chang'an City is the largest capital city in the world, the roads are the widest, and the palace is the highest and magnificent. It's not so much a liking for fat or big, but rather a cult of strength and a display of confidence. Because generally speaking, a stout body always has more strength than a thin one.
He Keer laughed: "That's a kind of lady's makeup, but I don't like to look at it, I like to have a clean face." ”
Let's take a moment, Xiao Quzhi quickly kissed her on the face, and said with a smile: "That's why your skin is so good, I just liked you at a glance."
Don't you know, all fat powders contain lead, which can indeed make the skin look whiter when used at first, but over time, it will make the face dark, yellow and dry. ”
He Keer said shyly: "I don't know this, I just feel uncomfortable on my face after applying powder, and I quickly washed it off after rubbing it once." ”
Xiao Quzhi smiled, how much God treats him. He likes He Keer because of He Keer's nature, independence, and freedom. He has his own opinions, does not change his heart because of the opinions of most people around him, and is an independent and confident individual.
This made Xiao Quzhi respect her very much, but she was still so beautiful, with this face, snowy skin and big eyes; This figure is slender and slender, convex where it should be, and concave where it should be. Especially the upper circumference is extremely impressive, Xiao Quzhi doesn't know much about it, but judging from the fact that he can't hold it with one hand, it should be D, right? At least it's bigger than Richie's.
Thinking of the wonderful feeling of being fascinated and happy like a fairy before, Xiao Quai's heartbeat and breathing accelerated a little, and he wanted to continue. He Ke'er saw his thoughts, reached out and held Xiao Quzhi's hand on his cheek, and his subordinates rubbed it on the back of Xiao Quzhi's hand, and murmured: "Xiao Lang, tell me about what happened before you went down the mountain, and the country of dreams." ”
Xiao Quzhi had no choice but to give up that charming idea, and began to whisper in her ear: "This is my biggest secret, can He Ke'er keep this secret for me?" It's rotten in the stomach forever, and I can't say anything to anyone, including Xiao Yao, including your aunt, including anyone but me. Even if you can't dream about it, can Ke'er do it? ”
He Ke'er nodded very seriously, and after 0.5 seconds, he quickly shook his head: "It's so important, then Xiao Lang still don't say it." ”
"I'm sure you can keep this secret for me." Xiao Quzhi smiled and kissed the hair on her ear: "As for me, I have indeed been sick since I was a child, so I was named Qu Sick and was sent to a mountain to practice martial arts and strengthen my body." As for my master, he is not a Taoist priest, but a warrior, and in addition to practicing martial arts every day, we can also enter a dream country through a method......"
Good time is always short-lived, when Xiao Quzhi told He Keer about how advanced the science and technology of the dream country is, everyone can take a kind of iron plane and fly in the sky, from Chang'an to Yangzhou, and even to Anxi Qiuzi, which is a morning time;
And even if you are far away, you can talk through something called a mobile phone, and you can see each other; And in that dream country, women have the same status as men, and some families even have the final say......
It's very uncomfortable to keep a big secret alone, Xiao Qu is sick and ready to wait for the marriage, depending on the situation, he gradually handed over his mobile phone and laptop to He Keer for safekeeping. Just when He Ke'er was stunned, Xiao Yao outside ran over again and said loudly: "Master Hou, the general supervisor Li Shishilang has arrived." ”
"Tell him to wait a minute, I'll be right there." Xiao Quzhi smiled bitterly, kissed He Ke'er on the mouth, and said apologetically: "These two days will be very busy, tomorrow I will escort Your Majesty and Niangniang back to Chang'an, and the day after tomorrow I will leave to pick up my eldest brother Gao Kaifu, and when the Anxi Army enters the city ceremony, it will go on an expedition again, this matter is extremely secret, and now even Your Majesty does not know." ”
"Ah...... However, it's the New Year! He Ke'er's face became nervous, although she admired Xiao Quai's strength very much, but since it was a war, how could she say it accurately. What's more, it's the New Year soon, and after the New Year, it's the wedding of the two. Why do you still have to go on the expedition at this time?
Xiao Qu put his arm around her and comforted: "It's just some little thieves, let's go and go back quickly, and we must come back before Chinese New Year's Eve." Believe me, I've planned it before. I'm not worried about your safety, I'll leave Yue Mufeng and Linghu Liuyun and a few Louguan Taoists to protect you. When you get married, you can practice martial arts with me. ”
He Ke'er wrapped her hands around Xiao Quai's back, hugged him tightly, and whispered in Xiao Quai's ear: "Xiao Lang, you don't have to worry about me, I won't go out during this time." It's just Xiao Lang, you must take care, don't always rush too far alone. If you want to think of me in your heart, I am waiting for you to return in Chang'an! ”
