Chapter 121: Deliberation
In her heart, Yuan Baoer wanted to have more contact with the mountain people so that she could enter and exit in the future.
However, looking at Gu Sheng's dark eyes, she knew what to say.
"No, I've been a little tired for the past two days, so you can play," she smiled at the servants she had brought with her, dragging Cui Xin to leave.
Gu Sheng looked at Cui Xin.
Obviously she didn't say anything, Cuixin just felt that her feet were a little soft.
"Lady, otherwise you go back first, I'll eat some more, and I'll go back right away."
Yuan Baoer was speechless, "Mutton is not easy to restrain and eat, eat less." ”
Cui Xin nodded hurriedly and motioned to go first.
Yuan Baoer said goodbye to Xu Xian and Xiying, and followed Gu Sheng.
Seeing the two go out, Xiying sighed.
This time, he clearly knew that his grandson was out of play.
With this aura, it's not something they can compete with.
The market at night was very quiet, Yuan Bao'er and Gu Sheng walked in it, and they could only hear the sound of the soles of their shoes rubbing against the road.
Gu Sheng turned his head sideways and looked at the top of her jet-black hair through the lanterns on both sides, "I'm not married." ”
Yuan Bao'er paused, "What's the matter with me?" ”
At this time, she was very glad that she was reserved and didn't say anything overdone.
The corners of Gu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Before I left, I saw the Fan family's lady marry my younger brother. ”
Yuan Bao'er raised her head suddenly, her mouth slightly open, "You know the Fan family's lady."
Gu Sheng looked at her gently, "I don't know, and I don't want to know." ”
"I just want to know, are you still angry?"
Yuan Bao'er opened her eyes and quickened her steps, "Hurry up, I'm sleepy." ”
Gu Sheng caught up with her, half a step behind, and followed her unhurriedly.
When Yuan Baoer returned to her residence, she went directly into the house, not even daring to turn her head back.
Gu Sheng stood at the door, the corners of his mouth slowly rising.
Yuan Baoer rushed to the inner room, threw herself on the bed, and secretly scolded herself for being useless.
Why did people say two words, and she relented again.
Gu Sheng stood for a while, listened to the delay in the movement, and knocked on the door.
Yuan Bao'er turned over and said vigilantly: "What are you doing?" ”
Gu Sheng was helpless, "Where do I stay at night?" ”
"That's right, it's next door," it used to be Cui Xin's residence.
But Yuan Bao'er was worried that the mountain people would let Cuixin live with her again like last time.
Gu Sheng listened to her stammer, his smile deepened again, and after a while, he said softly: "Have a good dream." ”
His voice was very soft, and he didn't seem to want Yuan Bao'er to hear it.
But he didn't know that Yuan Bao'er had already slipped to the door.
His feather-like wish slipped through the crack in the door and into her heart.
There was a faint sound of the door closing next door.
Yuan Bao'er followed and lay down on the bed.
She thought she would not be able to sleep, but she didn't want to be able to sleep for a while, so she fell asleep.
She didn't even know when Cuixin would come back.
Early in the morning, she got up refreshed.
It's already bustling outside.
Yuan Baoer went out after freshening up, and saw a group of people building something in the open space.
"What is this doing?"
Yuan Baoer asked curiously.
"Set up a room," the officials held bowls, drank porridge slowly, and talked to Yuan Bao's children.
The buildings here, as long as they are not long-term residents, are all made of bamboo, and the roof of the shed is covered with straw and bamboo strips, which is a simple wing.
"Who is this for? It's also too rudimentary. ”
Yuan Bao'er is a little strange, the house here is obviously enough to live in.
Gu Sheng came from behind, "I have a few brothers who are also with me. ”
"They're used to sleeping in the open, so it doesn't matter if they sleep on this."
Yuan Bao'er pursed her mouth, "Otherwise, take down the courtyard next door, so that there will be a place." ”
Gu Sheng shook his head, "The people here are fierce, you and your people are not good at martial arts, if you stay here, I don't worry." ”
Yuan Bao'er was speechless for a moment.
Cui Xin turned her eyes and looked around, although she remembered Gu Sheng's marriage, she still went to the kitchen to serve food.
"You're here for me," Yuan Bao'er said suddenly.
"What do you say," Gu Sheng smiled.
"Otherwise, why did you come to Jiannan in so many places? There are many places in Jiannan, why did you come to Massachusetts? ”
Her voice was urgent and fierce.
Gu Sheng said in a low voice: "If yes, what do you want?" ”
Yuan Bao'er looked at him, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
She wanted to scold him for being stupid, give up his good future, and come here to suffer with her.
But I was very moved.
He has a bright future, but for her, he put aside some and came here to be a little head catcher.
"What can I do, you'll regret it."
Yuan Bao'er said in a low voice.
Gu Sheng smiled, his eyebrows firm, "I never regret what I did." ”
At this time, Yuan Baoer didn't know the deep meaning of his words, and thought that he was a teenager.
After eating, the two went to the mansion.
Xu Xian had a drink last night, and he was having a hangover at this time.
On the contrary, the officials who laughed with Yuan Baoer yesterday were very enthusiastic about her.
It's just that against Gu Sheng, who is like an ice cube, the heat drops significantly.
Yuan Bao'er quickly noticed it, so she smiled and asked everyone to get busy, and she and Gu Sheng were waiting in the lobby.
After waiting for almost three more teas, Xu Xian finally came.
He held a fan in one hand and rubbed his head in the other.
"I said, Lord Yuan, what kind of wine did you buy, why did you still pay it?"
"The best pear blossom white is said to be treasured."
"You must have been deceived," Xu Xian said, "Hurry up and tell me which one it is, I'm going to settle accounts with them." ”
Yuan Bao'er smiled, "You've drunk everything, now you can go to someone else, can you still admit it?" ”
Xu Xian also knew that he couldn't, he just said that.
He sat down slowly, shook his fan and said, "Yesterday Xiying told me that he wanted to come down the mountain. ”
"But I'm worried that our taxes are too high."
"If all the land is received by the government and they are only tenants, he will not be able to accept it."
"Aren't they good citizens?"
Yuan Baoer asked.
Xu Xian shrugged, "They have lived on the mountain for generations, and they didn't communicate with each other in the past. ”
"The only intersection is fighting, do you guess it will be a good citizen?"
Yuan Bao'er pursed her lips, "The situation here is different from that in the mainland, I don't mind special affairs." ”
"It's just that the mountain people here are divided into many ethnic groups, I wonder if we can find a time, invite everyone to one place, and everyone sit down to discuss it and set a rule?"
"I didn't think about it in the early years," Xu Xian said, "But the things here are too complicated, and the slightest carelessness may provoke a fight, and it will be even more difficult to end at that time." ”
"But if you don't agree, it's hard for you and me to do it."
"If there is an entanglement, you and I will not be able to escape the involvement."
Xu Xian nodded his head and sighed, "It is precisely because of this concern that I have not been able to make a proposal." ”
"This is easy to do," Gu Sheng said slowly: "You have been here for many years, and you know the situation here well, so let's draw out the Tao first according to the present." ”
"If you agree, you will sign the agreement, and if you don't agree, you will be convinced."
Sure enough, arrogant enough, domineering enough.
