Dong Lang hurriedly cleared up: "I didn't mean that. I...... I just think it's too ...... for you to spend all your money on people you don't know."

"You're really a straight man." Qu Xiaobai was not angry, she understood Dong Lang's thoughts, up and down Zixuzhuang, about seventy or eighty percent of the people had this kind of thought, she couldn't say that their ideas were wrong, everyone just had different ideas.

After a pause, she continued: "Sometimes, we can't just look at the immediate benefits. Some investments have fast returns, such as opening a shop, fast in and out; Some businesses are slow to return, such as building a college, and it takes at least three or four years for the college to train a talent, and in these three or four years, there is only no return on investment, and there is a risk that it cannot be used by me. ”

"So why take such a risk?"

Qu Xiaobai replied to him very seriously this time: "Because, to put it mildly, we are all in a relationship of supporting each other, they pay for their labor, and we guarantee their lives." To put it mildly, don't we only have the present, and don't all of our generations want the next generation to live better? Only when everyone gets better, can the younger generations live better. Just like her world, how many generations of reproduction and inheritance have given rise to modern civilization.

Dong Lang didn't seem to understand, Qu Xiaobai glanced at him helplessly, "Let me tell you this, I need them, I have such a big piece of land, I need to use manpower to cultivate, I also need all kinds of talents to help me do things, I don't treat them well, can they work for me?" ”

"I get that. But wasn't it good? Why do you have to change the way you do business? ”

This is not like what Dong Lang can say, he must have been provoked by the manager of Zixuzhuang.

Qu Xiaobai was unhappy and said angrily: "Who dares to question my decision, just go, you don't have to stay here." Dong Lang, I'll tell you the truth, I have already planned the medical school, and it will start construction soon, and after it is completed, I will start recruiting medical students. ”

Dong Lang was stunned and muttered weakly: "I didn't say I couldn't come." ”

Qu Xiaobai lowered his head to tease An An, who was being held by the nurse, and ignored him.

Dong Lang has never been a small-bellied person, he often makes mistakes, but he will change them when he knows his mistakes, "I just said my opinion." As long as your medical school is built, I will definitely come, I will definitely be more active than Lao Yun! ”

"Whether you come or not, I'm going to do it. I can't be a doctor, but I hope to teach what I have learned to more people. "Qu Xiaobai didn't say a word, maybe, this is my mission in this world.

She couldn't tell Dong Lang this sentence, so she could only sing in front of him.

Qu Xiaobai couldn't tell Dong Lang that when she was in that world, she set up her own fund to specialize in charity.

She couldn't explain to him that charity is also a kind of career, and people live for a lifetime, and they must always do what they can to be considered in vain.

Qu Xiaobai lowered his head to tease An An, and Dong Lang looked at her inquiringly.

It's not that he doesn't know that the realm of people is different, but when he really saw how big the gap was, he finally realized the distance between himself and the little master.

Such a distance made his heart unspeakably uncomfortable and indescribably awkward.

After walking a little further, Qu Xiaobai pointed to a piece of land with a good foundation and said: "This is the address of the medical school, the soil around here is too reluctant to grow crops, suitable for growing medicinal materials, I have asked Lao Yun to take people to the other side of the mountain to dig a lot of medicinal materials and transplant them here, and in the future, this place will be used as a medicinal material base." ”

"I said, why haven't I seen Lao Yun these days." After a pause, he felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Why did you let him go and not let me go?" ”

"There must be a doctor in the house, in case someone gets sick or injured or something, it's easy to deal with it, isn't it?"

"Oh." Dong Lang had nothing to say.

The carriage stopped in front of a cornfield, Qu Xiaobai told the nurse and Luoluo to hug An An, and not to get off the car, she straightened her cloak, put on her hat, got out of the carriage, and asked Ah Wu: "Is she in this field?" ”

Ah Wu nodded: "I've inquired clearly, it's here." ”

Qu Xiaobai stood on the ridge and looked into the field, in the endless field, the corn seedlings were already two feet high, and they were growing very well.

A young woman in a cloth dress carried a basket of grass to the ridge, and a few feet away, the woman suddenly raised her head, and Qu Xiaobai on the ridge suddenly broke into her sight.

The woman was stunned for a moment.

Qu Xiaobai also saw her clearly.

His fair skin was a healthy wheat color, his long hair that used to be tied under the official hat was braided into a braid, hanging down behind his head, and his eyebrows and eyes were less arrogant and more indifferent.

If he didn't recognize this face too much, Qu Xiaobai really didn't dare to recognize it, this was Rong Guifei, the palace maid who was arrogant and arrogant in the past.

Rong He walked to the ridge with the basket on his back, poured the grass in the basket into the large basket containing the grass, and then walked to Qu Xiaobai with the basket and said hello: "Mrs. Yang." ”

"Miss Rong, long time no see."

"Mrs. Yang is a busy person, and she rarely comes to the fields, so naturally we can't see it. Mrs. Yang came to me on a special trip? ”

Qu Xiaobai smiled, "Miss Rong is really Bing Xue smart. ”

"Don't dare, no matter how smart you are, you are also a defeated under Mrs. Yang."

Qu Xiaobai said: "It was Yang Ling who made you a defeated subordinate, not me." ”

"What's the difference? You and he are husband and wife, husband and wife are one, and what he does is no different from what you do. ”

Qu Xiaobai smiled mildly and said, "This is not the place to talk, Miss Rong, let's talk in another place, okay?" ”

"If Mrs. Yang has something to say, just say it, I still have to go to the field to weed."

Although Rong He is not as arrogant as before, the arrogance in his bones is not so easy to change. She is still the same Ronghe who refuses to bow her head.

Qu Xiaobai looked at the touch of oil green on the horizon in the distance and smiled, "It's okay, since Miss Rong doesn't want to go somewhere else, let's talk here." She shifted her gaze to Rongyou, "Are you okay?" ”

"Isn't that it? Didn't Mrs. Yang see it? ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "I think, you should live better than before, although the work here is hard, but simple and fulfilling, there is no intrigue, no camp, no walking on thin ice, planting a seed, you can harvest a large number of fruits, this is called hope." ”

Rong He's face was unwavering, and he said, "Is Mrs. Yang here to teach me today?" I'm sorry, but I still have work to do......"

Qu Xiaobai interrupted her: "To this day, you still have a grudge against me in your heart, right?" ”

Rong He took a deep breath, "I'm not qualified to say resentment, defeat is defeat, and I'm not a person who can't afford to lose." Yang Ling was able to spare me from dying, I thank him, but don't expect me to repay you, I can't betray the concubine. ”

Rong He turned his head away, avoiding Qu Xiaobai's gaze.

Qu Xiaobai looked at her quietly, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "It is her blessing that Concubine Rong can have a caring person like you." I'm here today, neither to preach, nor to persuade you to switch to me and Yang Ling's disciples, I'm just here to ask you, do you want to leave here? ”

"Get out of here?" Rong He turned his head and looked at Qu Xiaobai suspiciously, "What conditions do you have?" ”

"Conditions? Why should I be conditional? ”

"No conditions, why did you let me go?"

"Not why. I just feel that if you are a bird, you have to soar in the air, and if you are a dragon, you have to be entrenched in the sea. You don't fit me here, I don't want to leave you. Rong You, you go. ”

Rong You's eyes were still full of doubt, "What you said is true?" ”

"It doesn't make any sense for me to lie to you, and your existence doesn't mean anything to me."

"If I leave and return to the noble concubine Niangniang, I will become the enemy of Yang Ling and you."

Qu Xiaobai suddenly sneered, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and looked at Rong You's eyes with a little smile, "You are Yang Ling's defeated general, and you are not qualified to talk about the enemy." ”

She turned around and stepped onto the road, looking condescendingly at Rong He on the ridge, and finally a touch of contempt and superiority appeared in her eyes, "Crushing you to death is like crushing an ant." Yang Ling and I have never disdained to do anything to the weak. ”

Rong He looked at Qu Xiaobai, I can't say what I feel in my heart, resentment? Hate? Dislike? Maybe they all, but she really felt the fear of Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling from the depths of her heart.

"If you want to leave, just come and tell me, I won't stop you. If you don't want to leave, then continue to be your peasant girl, I don't lack you to eat here. ”

After Qu Xiaobai finished speaking, he walked straight to the carriage.

Rong He watched her step on the stool and was about to get in the car and leave, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "Qu Xiaobai, I want to leave here!" ”

Qu Xiaobai stopped, got down from the stool, turned around, and looked at Rong He calmly, "Yes." From now on, you are free. ”

"If I leave, I will go back to the capital and go back to the concubine."

"If you leave here, you can go wherever you want, I won't care. However, I hope you don't come back to Concubine Rong. She may not trust you anymore. Finding a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and spending this life in peace may be the best choice for you. ”

Rong He shook his head, "I have nowhere to go except the palace." Even if he dies, he can only die in the palace. ”

Qu Xiaobai stared at her for a moment, sighed softly, and asked Luoluo to take two packages from the carriage, "Ronghe, you come up first." ”
