Chapter Seventy-Three: For Yang Ling
Yang Ling didn't have any temper, and silently shoveled down the second shovel soil.
Qu Xiaobai saw that he had finished shoveling, so he also joined in the fun, shoveled an iron shovel, and finally handed the shovel to Yang Zhuzi, "Uncle Zhuzi, I will leave the rest to you." β
Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling Mu Nanyun finished their business and went to Zhao Yuan's house by the way.
"General Mu, see if the clothes they are making now are to your liking." Qu Xiaobai picked up a finished dress and showed it to Mu Nanyun.
Mu Nanyun looked at it for a long time and asked, "Mrs. Yang, I want to know, how did you have so many clothing styles in your mind, it's like an inexhaustible cornucopia." β
He looked at Qu Xiaobai's face.
Qu Xiaobai smiled calmly, "I don't know." That is, when I thought of it, I drew it. Perhaps, this is what people call talented? β
I'll go to your talent, I have the blessing of a super mother.
But the thing about super Du Niang must not be known. Especially this extremely dangerous Mu Nanyun!
The corners of Mu Nanyun's mouth twitched: "Mrs. Yang is really smart." β
Qu Xiaobai gave the picture drawn last night to Zhao Yuan's family, explained the quantity, and was just about to leave, Mu Nanyun suddenly approached her and said something inexplicable: "Mrs. Yang's painting is also very good, is this also talented?" It feels like I'm doing a good job. β
Qu Xiaobai's heart is another one.
Who is this Mu Nanyun? What do you want to do?
"Oh, I just drew it according to what I saw. Is there anything hard about this? Qu Xiaobai pretended to be relaxed.
"That's really talented. Oh, I envy Brother Yang so much, married to a beautiful lady like you. β
"I've heard that today's fifth princess is your fiancΓ©e."
Mu Nanyun glanced at her, "Do you think it's a good thing to marry the daughter of the emperor's family?" β
Qu Xiaobai spread his hands: "All men in the world dream of it, right?" β
Well, she didn't think there was anything good about marrying a princess at all. That's not a wife, it's a God. If you meet a good-tempered person, it's okay to say, but if you meet a bad-tempered person, it's certain that you will be bullied.
It seems that princesses don't have a good temper, right?
She was a little sympathetic to Mu Nanyun.
At the same time, I also understand why he would rather stay here for three years than return to the DPRK.
Mu Nanyun glanced at her, "Or, you ask your stupid husband, is he willing to be a colt?" β
Qu Xiaobai turned his face away, "He's a fool, he doesn't even know what a colt means, right?" β
"Oh? Is it? β
Mu Nanyun's tone is somewhat meaningful.
Qu Xiaobai chuckled in his heart.
"General Mu, it's too cramped here, now that it's lunchtime, let's go back to town."
When Zhao Yuan's family heard that she was leaving, she hurriedly went to the vegetable garden to pull out some vegetables she liked, filled a basket full of them for her, Yang Zhuzi's family also brought her some eggs, and several other working daughters-in-law also brought food from home for her, and one even caught two old hens for her and asked her to go back to stew soup to replenish her body.
She didn't refuse, but when she left, she left some money for Zhao Yuan's family and asked her to share it with everyone, Zhao Yuan's resignation, Qu Xiaobai said: "Everyone's life is not easy, now my life is better than everyone's, and I can't let everyone lose." β
She insisted on staying, and Mu Nanyun also said: "With General Ben here, you can't lose Mrs. Yang, so you can collect it for them." β
Qu Xiaobai glanced at him fiercely.
What does it mean that Nima's you are out of this head? I'm afraid I can tell you about my relationship?
In order to clarify her relationship with him, she went straight to hug Yang Ling's arm and called out sweetly: "Brother Ling, let's go, what do you want to eat at noon?" Is it okay for you to drink chicken soup? I thought your brain was working after taking the medicine I gave you last time, so I'll give you a few more pairs when I go back, and maybe you'll be cured. β
Yang Ling nodded matter-of-factly: "Take medicine." β
It's going to have to be a bit of foreshadowing to get his brain up. Qu Xiaobai thought.
But things are not the same thing as she thinks.
Yang Ling's situation is even worse than she thought, and it is no longer as simple as recovering her identity.
At this time, Yang Ling didn't realize that the danger was approaching him step by step.
Back at home in the town, Qu Xiaobai asked Chen An to kill the hen, personally cooked a big pot of chicken soup, and made a few vegetarian dishes with the dishes given by the villagers, and the dishes were served on the table, she said: "Mu Gongzi, this is the first meal I paid back to you, but I made it myself, the craftsmanship is not good, you will taste it." β
Seeing the hesitation on Mu Nanyun's face, she added: "If Mu Gongzi thinks that the food I cook is not delicious, next time I invite you to go to the big restaurant in the county, and you can go to the county." β
Mu Nanyun picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup, tasted it, and did not comment on whether it was good or bad, but said: "It's Mrs. Yang's intention, I think it's very good." The focus is on the mind, not the craft. β
He looked at Yang Ling, "Brother Yang really thinks last night's duck paw was delicious?" β
Qu Xiaobai felt that what he said was wrong, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and tasted it, he couldn't help but glance at him, and said: "Mu Gongzi is the son of the general's family, he is used to eating brocade clothes and jade, and he is not used to eating the dishes made by peasant women in the countryside. Eat it. β
Obviously, she felt that the taste was okay, much better than the first few meals.
Yang Ling poured himself a big bowl of chicken soup for himself, held the bowl and took a big sip, "Daughter-in-law, it's delicious." β
"If it's delicious, you can eat more."
Qu Xiaobai felt that Yang Ling was too understanding tonight, so he hated to put all the dishes in his bowl, and Mu Nanyun ate a whole meal of dog food.
Panic.
A fool can stuff him with a belly of dog food, this world is true.
After dinner, Qu Xiaobai went to the embroidery room to guide the embroidery girls to make clothes, and Mu Nanyun also chased after him.
After watching the embroidery girl work for a while, Qu Xiaobai asked Mu Nanyun: "Mu Gongzi, what is the difference between leading soldiers to fight and watching women sew clothes?" β
Mu Nanyun said seriously: "Leading soldiers to fight also uses their brains and physical strength, and I can use my fingers to sew clothes." β
Qu Xiaobai was silent for a long time, and replied with two words: "Incisive." β
"I see that Mu Gongzi either wanders around the song house and wine shop every day, or wanders around the street, I guess this time to use his brain and physical strength, isn't it?"
"Recently, Di Yi has been afraid of my power and has not dared to attack, so it has been easier recently."
"Congratulations. Is it that Di Yi has repulsed, and the emperor should edict you to return to Beijing to complete the marriage? β
"Qu Xiaobai, I didn't offend you, did I?"
"Nope."
"Then are you poking my sore feet everywhere?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Okay. I'll go back tomorrow to find something to do, lest the emperor and his old man edict me to go back to Beijing to get married. β
Qu Xiaobai glanced at him lightly, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Mu Gongzi, what should be yours is yours." Can you get rid of it? β
Mu Nanyun clasped his hands to his chest and stared at Qu Xiaobai, "Is this considered a persuasion to me?" β
"Don't dare. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. My scripture is Yang Ling's second fool, is your scripture...... I think it's the fifth princess. β
In fact, although she and Mu Nanyun have been dealing with each other for so many days, she has always felt that to her, he is just a tiger skin that can be pulled and used at any time, and he is not even a friend. But today's events have changed her somewhat.
Although it may not be possible to make friends, it is not necessary to use each other all the time.
Mu Nanyun looked at her inquiringly, and after a while, a sentence came out: "Your attitude towards me seems to have changed." β
Qu Xiaobai didn't deny it.
"Maybe." She looked at Mu Nanyun and smiled, "Forget it, you have helped me so much, I haven't thanked you properly." Mu Gongzi, I sincerely thank you today. β
She saluted him very formally, "Although my words of thanks are really empty for you, I don't know how to repay you now." I will keep in my heart what I owe you, and I will repay it in the future. β
"Look at you, suddenly so serious, I don't even know what to say." Mu Nanyun was embarrassed, and there was a little shame on his face, "I said that there is a fate between us, and this sentence is not to persuade you." Maybe in the future, we will all know what this fate is. Xiaobai, can I call you that? β
"No, you can't." It was Yang Ling who spoke. The urn is angry, stupid.
Qu Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders and couldn't hold back his laughter, "The fool doesn't agree." You go and get his permission first. β
Mu Nanyun spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "Who would have thought that my dignified general would be defeated at the hands of a fool?" β
Qu Xiaobai couldn't help laughing, "You should be kind to the fool, otherwise he will hold a grudge." After that, I went to see the embroidery girl working.
Mu Nanyun was here with Qu Xiaobai all afternoon, and after Feng dealt with Chen Jiu and Zhu Changsong, he came back to report to him, saying that one person was punished with 30 boards, fined for one year, and stayed in his post to check his performance.
Mu Nanyun asked Qu Xiaobai: "Are you still satisfied with the result of this disposal?" β
Qu Xiaobai said: "Dealing with it impartially is." I can't represent the law. β
"By the way, Yang Xingmao's land, you can pay 20% of the harvest to the army every year. When I was in Yangshutun, because there were many people, it was inconvenient for me to say more. β
Qu Xiaobai was naturally happy in her heart, it was true that in addition to joy, she was also quite heavy, the better Mu Nanyun treated her, the more she felt that the problem was a big problem.
"Well, I'm going to talk to you about it. As for those fields, I plan to change to vegetables when the harvest is over. β
Mu Nanyun immediately understood what she meant, "It's okay, the soldiers in the army are short of vegetables, no matter what vegetables you grow, I will cover them." β
"Thank you very much. I owe you a favor again. β
Mu Nanyun looked at her, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she had something to say, but she stopped talking, and finally only said one sentence: "Don't say anything to me and thank you." General Ben is happy to help you, this little lady, and does not ask you for anything in return. β
He looked out of tune again, and the little gratitude that Qu Xiaobai had finally given birth to was gone.
Mu Nanyun finished dinner with her before leaving.
Admittedly, she never did anything to test his unique taste in the meal again.
She suddenly had an intuition now that it was extremely dangerous to test him, both for her and for Yang Ling.
For the sake of Yang Ling, she must be careful in her actions.
