Chapter 55: The Nominal Husband and Wife
Qu Xiaobai couldn't tell whether Yang Ling's eyes were hurt or hot, that kind of color seemed to be able to freeze all the heat, and it seemed to be able to melt all the ice.
Qu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak.
Yang Ling smiled at the corner of his mouth very casually, took her hand, and pulled her into the house, "Okay, do what you want to do." ”
Qu Xiaobai didn't dare to look at him anymore, so she climbed onto the kang in a panic and lifted the pen, but her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to draw.
Yang Ling took out her book "History of the Great Liang Dynasty and the Wild" from under her pillow, sat cross-legged opposite her and read it.
Qu Xiaobai peeked at him, he couldn't take his eyes off it, it seemed to be quite interesting, she pursed her lips and continued to draw.
But his shadow always lingered in his mind, lingering, so that she couldn't concentrate on thinking about things, and finally she simply put down her pen and put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Yang Ling put down the book and looked at her: "What, don't you draw?" ”
"I can't draw anything without something in my head." Qu Xiaobai sighed, in fact, she could ask Du Niang for help, but Yang Ling's influence was too great, so she forgot about Du Niang at all.
Yang Ling put down the book, moved the small table under the kang, Qu Xiaobai let go of the futon, and still pushed Yang Ling's quilt to the other side, but tonight was not like last night, throwing him into the corner.
Yang Ling went back to bed and slept on his side in a regular manner, but that side was only a stone's throw away, and the unique aura and heat of a man on his body seemed to be around him, Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could he get through the long night?
Qu Xiaobai didn't have the habit of going to bed early, so he picked up "Da Liang Chao's Upper-Class Social Network" and flipped through it, turned two pages, and couldn't stand it, so he looked at Yang Ling, "Shouldn't we turn the house over?" ”
"Huh?"
"This house is too cramped, and two people can't sleep on this kang."
Yang Ling glanced at the earthen kang, it was a little smaller, but if it was two people, it could still be slept, and it was more than enough. If she hadn't stopped him, he would have preferred to sleep under the same bed with her, so that he could save some space to come out.
Qu Xiaobai's meaning, he saw through it at a glance. Thinking of flipping over a big house, so that I can sleep separately from him, and kick him away!
The house still has to be rebuilt as soon as possible, and you can't wronged your own woman. As for her to sleep separately from him...... Then try to sleep with her before the house is built.
Yang Ling thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Well, okay." I can't give you anything else, but a house can still be given to you. ”
Since he knew that he was not stupid, Qu Xiaobai naturally understood that his identity was so mysterious, and it was not surprising that he had silver on him. She wanted to refuse his money, but now she was really short of money, and after buying the land, there was not much left. She nodded, "Hey, you go down and bring me the little desk, and I'll draw a floor plan of the house." ”
"......" Yang Ling got off the kang, moved the table, and picked up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Qu Xiaobai spread out a piece of rice paper and threw the question to Du Niang: "Du Niang, Du Niang, give me a few structural drawings of the bungalow, the kind that is ancient, and the kind that has entered the courtyard several times." ”
Du Niang's search for the map immediately showed in her mind, she chose to choose, selected one of the three courtyards, on the rice paper first sketched the floor plan, the rest, is to use their imagination, add their favorite style.
Yang Ling sat opposite her, watching her painting intently, and many of the things she painted actually had a royal style. It's false to say that she wasn't surprised, but since she moved out of Yang Xingmao's house, she has given him countless "shocks", and she is not surprised.
There are still some things in the painting that do not belong to any architectural style, Yang Ling can see it, but he does not point it out. His gaze swept over Qu Xiaobai's face from time to time, adding some doting to the depth.
He also gave her some pointers, rubbed her head and told her that some places were not reasonably structured, and that there might be a danger of collapsing if they were built.
Qu Xiaobai said casually: "I'm not omnipotent, there are some things that I haven't learned, okay?" When the words fell, he found that he was speechless, and hurriedly covered it up: "I...... I'm a relatively studious person, I have been in the county for the past few days, and I have observed the houses in those counties, but I can see a general idea, many details, I can't understand it. ”
Yang Ling didn't demolish her, but just rubbed her head dotingly again, and said, "Good observation." ”
Qu Xiaobai felt that Yang Ling was not so easy to deceive, but she had no better excuse to cover up, so she could only lie to herself, Yang Ling believed her words.
Yang Ling took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, put it on the drawing paper in front of Qu Xiaobai, and said: "You are my Yang Ling Ming Media is marrying into the door, that is my wife, originally, it is my responsibility to give you a stable life, but I am inconvenient now, I can't help you more, you take this silver first, if it is not enough, come to me again." ”
Qu Xiaobai's gaze fell on the silver ticket.
It was a silver ticket with a denomination of 1,000 taels, Qu Xiaobai looked at the silver ticket, and then looked at Yang Ling, Yang Ling's face was faint, and there was a faint smile in his eyes, such a gentle smile seemed to be able to melt the ice in an instant, Qu Xiaobai originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as he touched his eyes, he couldn't help but change his mind: "Okay, I am also using the money now, I will take this silver ticket first, and then when I earn the silver, I will return it to you." ”
Yang Ling was unhappy when she heard her say that she wanted to "return", but she endured it without having a seizure.
Qu Xiaobai put away the silver ticket, sandwiched it in the book "Da Liang Chao Upper-class Social Relationship Network", put it under the pillow, picked up the drawing and measured it carefully, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Well, I'll ask Brother Da Yuan tomorrow to see if he can help me deal with this flipping house." He smiled, and then a sad face came to him: "Alas...... The house has been overbuilt, the road is not yet there, and the road to the village has to be repaired, but it has to occupy some land, some of which is still Yang Xingmao's, and you have to deal with Yang Xingmao. ”
Yang Ling stared at her: "Actually, you can choose not to flip the house, let's move out of here and go to the county seat to buy a yard, if you don't like the county seat, let's go to the county government, or, move to another place." ”
Qu Xiaobai shook his head, "I don't want to go to live in the county seat." She propped her elbows on the table, leaned forward, and looked at Yang Ling, "Fool, I had a dream before. ”
Yang Ling was interested, "Dreams? You talk about it. ”
Qu Xiaobai pursed the corners of her lips, the candlelight reflected in her eyes, and there were two small flames burning in her eyes, "I actually like the pastoral life, I used to think about being a manor master one day, there are mountains and rivers in the manor, Yang Xingmao gave me these five acres of wasteland, I can't do anything, but do you know why I still accept it?" ”
Yang Ling stared at the small flame in her eyes: "Because this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is good, and the location is good." Daughter-in-law, you are not very ambitious. ”
"What's your daughter-in-law's name, didn't you say your name?"
"Okay, Xiaobai." The vigilance of the daughter-in-law is really everywhere, Yang Ling is convinced, "Qu Xiaobai! He gritted his teeth in anger and accentuated his tone.
Qu Xiaobai was immersed in her drawings again: "What you said is right, I just had an idea from the beginning." When I have saved enough money, I will buy the mountain in front of me, open up the wasteland, expand the land, and build the manor of my dreams. ”
Wow, this ambition. The big mountain in front of the house stretches for dozens of miles to the mountains on Diyi's territory! Yang Ling sighed secretly in his heart, and said lightly: "Okay, if you need help for your husband, just ask." ”
"I found that you are really thinking about how to take advantage of me all the time, and call yourself a husband if you don't call your daughter-in-law, you remember, now you are just my nominal husband, we have no husband and wife, two, I don't want to be husband and wife with you, so I still have to pay attention to the title in the future."
Again. Yang Ling looked at her, thinking about whether to forcibly turn her into a little daughter-in-law who was a husband and wife. Of course, that's just thinking about it, it's a bit difficult to implement, and the little daughter-in-law is too resistant to this matter now, which annoys her and makes it difficult for her to clean up, "Okay, let's discuss this topic later." Say something else. ”
"Say something else? Why do you have so much silver? Qu Xiaobai suddenly pulled the topic to him, "Haven't you been stupid all the time in the past few years?" I was a kid before I was stupid, and I didn't have much ability to make money, right? ”
Yang Ling didn't hide it: "My master gave it." ”
"Your master? Who? Qu Xiaobai looked at him and asked casually, and suddenly waved his hand again: "Forget it, I don't want to know about you, who your master loves, but, fool, I can warn you, don't involve me in your affairs." As for me, I just want to earn money, live a comfortable life, and realize my dreams. ”
Although Yang Ling never thought of involving Qu Xiaobai, and would never let Qu Xiaobai be involved, when Qu Xiaobai said this indifferently, he was still a little lost in his heart, "Don't worry, it won't affect you." Just do what you want, remember, I will only be your back, not your bondage. ”
The calm tone was mixed with a little bit of loss that was not easy to detect, like a needle pierced Qu Xiaobai's chest, a little painful.
"Alright, let's sleep."
Qu Xiaobai got off the kang, put away the small desk, jumped up, blew out the candles, and fell asleep with his head covered.
Yang Ling looked at her quietly for a while, she covered her head, curled up like a kitten, and Bo was covered by her gasp.
She is obviously such a delicate little person, but there is a terrifying energy in her body, so that the protective desire in his heart has nowhere to put it.
"Qu Xiaobai."
Yang Ling suddenly broke the silence and spoke coldly.
The tone was so cold that Qu Xiaobai was full of excitement, Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but lift the quilt, revealing a suffocated red face, and looked at Yang Ling: "What?" ”
"You get up."
Yang Ling's tone was unquestionable, Qu Xiaobai was frightened by his tone, and sat up in a panic, "What's wrong?" ”
Yang Ling suddenly leaned towards her, pulled the quilt on her body through a corner, pulled her into his arms, and couldn't help but resist, hugging her and lying down.
"Yang Ling! You bastard! What do you want? ”
Qu Xiaobai struggled twice in the crook of his arm, but his arm was like steel, the more she struggled, the tighter he strangled, and she could only protest with a wild roar.
