Chapter 505: Take Off Your Mask
Liu Qingyan raised his hand and took off the mask on Xuanyuan Yichen's face, and then couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, looking at Xuanyuan Yichen's face, his eyes were even more unblinking, and there was a smile in them. Xuanyuan Yichen was puzzled, subconsciously touched his face, and asked, "What's wrong, is there anything funny on my face?" ”
Liu Qingyan raised the mask in his hand and said with a smile, "What do you think?" ”
What else is there to say, Xuanyuan Yichen simply went to the dresser by himself, leaned in front to take a look, and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that he wore a mask for a day as usual, but unlike usual, he went out to bask in the sun for a day today, although the sun in spring was not very hot, and it didn't feel lethal. But all day long, it still left traces on Xuanyuan Yichen's face, just where his eyes and chin were, and where the edge of the mask was, there were clear black and white traces. The area covered by the mask is still the same white as before, but the place where the mask does not cover it becomes black.
I didn't think it was when I watched it before, but once I took off the mask, this black and white color difference was too obvious, and it really made people feel very funny.
Xuanyuan Yichen smiled bitterly, looking at Liu Qingyan beside him holding the white mask in one hand and not putting it down, but he was still laughing at himself, he didn't agree now, and reached out to remove the veil on Liu Qingyan's face. This is what he is used to doing on weekdays, in the morning, they both help each other put on masks and veils, and at night, when they go to bed, they will help each other unmask and veil, and then put them at the head of their beds, so that they can be picked up and used at any time.
Liu Qingyan didn't dodge it, just stood calmly in place, waiting for Xuanyuan Yichen's hand to stretch out. Slowly, the veil was lifted from her own face. Liu Qingyan thought that he would be the same as when she saw his face, and she thought it was very funny, so she laughed, but what she saw from Xuanyuan Yichen's face was chagrin and surprise, and then it turned into a smile again, but there was absolutely no sense of funny in it.
Liu Qingyan was puzzled, he turned sideways, looked at himself in the mirror, and finally understood why Xuanyuan Yichen behaved like this. Just because, the self in the mirror is no different from the self when I went out in the morning, I still have fair and delicate skin, and there is no sign of tanning or redness. If it weren't for the fact that the husband and wife went out together, came back together, and always worked together on the farm today, I am afraid that Xuanyuan Yichen would think that Liu Qingyan must have hidden somewhere to avoid the sun.
"It's not fair!" Xuanyuan Yichen suddenly shouted, as a dignified man, he shouldn't care so much about black and white, but from Liu Qingyan's body, he was stimulated too much, even if he didn't care before, he couldn't care less now. But he really can't blame him for caring about this, he was also basking in the sun outside for a day, why did Liu Qingyan not change at all, but he had to become such a white and black appearance. Now, even if you don't wear a mask, you can't do it. Isn't that very unfair?
No one would think that this world is full of fairness. Even if there is, it is just what everyone thinks is fair to themselves. But in most cases, I'm afraid that most people think that the world is unfair to them. It's like the current Xuanyuan Yichen, I can only say that I still have to blame Liu Qingyan's "natural beauty is difficult to give up"!
Seeing Xuanyuan Yichen playing a scoundrel like a child's heart, Liu Qingyan was proud, but also felt funny and helpless, so he could only say: "Born beautiful, I can't help it." But don't worry too much, as long as you don't go out to dry like this every day, after a while, you will slowly come back in vain. Nothing can ruin the reputation of the dashing idle king! Speaking of which, it seems that there really isn't any boy who is called "handsome and chic", who has dark skin. For this alone, he can't become a romantic son in the understanding of ordinary people.
Xuanyuan Yichen smiled again, and also felt that he was making a big fuss, looking at Liu Qingyan's face, he touched it lightly, and said, "It's okay, you didn't become like me!" At the beginning, in fact, he thought that they would have to be difficult to deal with, and he became white and black, and Liu Qingyan, who was also half covered face, should also become like this. But now he thought that if Liu Qingyan really became like himself, then how distressed he would be!
Liu Qingyan smiled, I don't know if I heard it, I didn't speak, I just looked at the two people in the mirror, thoughtful. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yichen raised the veil in his hand that had not yet been put down in front of her, and after attracting her attention, he asked, "What are you thinking, so engrossed?" ”
Liu Qingyan took his hand and came to the table next to him and sat down, and the two of them put the masks and veils they were holding on the table. Liu Qingyan even poured two cups of hot tea, one in front of one person. Playing with the cup of tea in his hand, Liu Qingyan said: "I remember, when we chatted with the people, they talked about it, they worked hard to cultivate and sow seeds every year, but it may be the weather, rainfall and other relationships here, and their harvest will not be too much." Add to that the fact that the militia comes over from time to time to rob them, and the rest of them is not much. ”
This is when everyone is busy and tired, and they stop for a short break. Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan didn't know what the situation was like before, but after coming here, they had heard and seen a lot of actual situations. Now that the country has lost these two major battles one after another, I can believe that for a long time, the common people and soldiers should not come here to rob again. However, the climate, rain, and various objective conditions mentioned by the common people are not something that Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan can solve.
"That's a real problem. I know you'd love to help them, but this place has been like this since it existed, so what can we help? Xuanyuan Yichen said, perhaps, it was also because of the cold-bloodedness in the bones brought out by the royal family members since birth, so he didn't want to care about these things. And, in fact, as he himself said, this place has not been like this since it existed, and they are just ordinary people, so what can they help.
Isn't it possible to send things from places in the south of the Yangtze River where the economy is prosperous and the products are abundant? If Xuanyuan Yichen were the emperor, maybe he could really do this kind of thing that would cost the people and money, but he was just a prince, and he was a very unpopular prince whose life was in danger at any time. No matter how you think about it, he really can't help much!
Liu Qingyan shook his head lightly and said, "Not only to help the people here, but also to help ourselves!" "If you just stay here for a short time, as long as you win the war, you can return to the capital, with Liu Qingyan's temperament, she is not a person who likes to meddle with these things. Or to put it simply, maybe even if someone starved to death, was beaten to death, or died in front of her in any form, she could just watch in silence without blinking her eyes. The previous Sword Nine was the first and only one.
It's just that the situation in front of you is not like this, and it is not so simple. They will stay here for at least three years, and if the emperor is not happy and makes another holy decree, it may be extended for how long. Then, it is necessary for them to do their best to improve the living conditions here. As Liu Qingyan said, it is for the people who were born and raised here, and also for themselves who are about to spend a long time here.
Xuanyuan Yichen doesn't understand this truth, but in addition to their different identities from the people here and some skills, in fact, for the sky above their heads and the ground under their feet, they are just ordinary human beings, what can they do and what can they change?
What Liu Qingyan thinks about is not so simple, in fact, he can think more long-term. The reason why they are bent on revenge, but they have always stood still and have not taken any action, even when they are about to be forced to the guillotine, they still think that they can wait a little longer, because they themselves know that their strength is still worse after all, even if it is a gamble, it is a gamble with a small probability of winning, so they are unwilling and cannot do it. But what if they could develop this border into another base for them?
Human, material, and financial resources are absolutely indispensable, and the more the better. In this border with a small population and even fewer products, these three can be said to be the same, and there is no hope at all. However, what if they have the means and ability to completely change this place, so that this place can become a place that will provide them with a steady stream of human, material, and financial resources in the future? At that time, I am afraid that their plan of revenge will not be too far away from them.
Just beside this table, under the reflection of the burning candles on the table, as well as the curling heat and the fragrance of tea rising from the teacup in front of her, Liu Qingyan said all the thoughts in her heart gently, slowly and methodically.
Xuanyuan Yichen didn't expect that she would think so long-term. While he was shocked and moved, he himself thought about it seriously, but he could only sigh secretly and said, "Your idea is very good, but don't you think this kind of operation is too difficult?" Here, you see, what exactly is there? The small population, the elderly and children still make up the majority, and the young adults who are slightly capable and younger have left this place a long time ago. Material resources, financial resources, you are talking about those worlds that can't grow anything, even if they are provided to the people here to eat, they have to save a little, what else can we expect? ”
"That's why it's up to us to change this place! Failure, everything is just the way it was, and it can be said that it has no effect on us. But once we succeeded, it was a huge help. Why not give it a try? Liu Qingyan disagreed, this place is indeed very bad in all aspects, but things are man-made, people will win the day, as long as you think and do it yourself, you will definitely be able to change, and it will definitely help!
