Qi Mo raised his eyebrows, and without asking, Song Lingyue couldn't help but tell Qi Mo about Lu Li's slippery performance when he was serving her just now.

Qi Mo smiled when he heard this: "It seems that you have really found a treasure." I was worried at first, he is a mountain baby, even if he follows you, I am afraid that he will not be able to go long, I didn't expect him to adapt so quickly, and he will definitely be your right-hand man in time. ”

"However, you didn't see the mature and sophisticated appearance of him when he just said those words, which is completely different from the stubbornness and simplicity I saw him for the first time." This is where Song Lingyue really feels uncomfortable.

Qi Mo also sighed, but his voice was very steady when he spoke again, with the power to soothe people's hearts:

"People always grow up. Lu Li has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he must mature and grow up faster than his peers, only then can he carry the burden of the family. I think this just shows that he is a man with a sense of responsibility and knows how to take responsibility. ”

"Don't regret your choice once it's been made, regret will only make you more miserable." Qi Mo looked at Song Lingyue's eyes and replied word by word.

"Can you really make a choice and not regret it?" Song Lingyue wasn't very sure.

Qi Mo said: "The reason why I regret it is because I can't afford the consequences of my choice, if everyone can bear the consequences of my choice, then there is no regret in the world." ”

Song Lingyue's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "How did I not know that you were quite philosophical, so ......" She suddenly approached Qi Mo, and the faint medicinal fragrance lingered on Qi Mo's nose.

"Do you have anything to regret? Is there something you have chosen but can't afford to live with? ”

The girl's cold voice swirled in the silent air and fell on his ears, her eyes shining with curiosity, and she tilted her head to look at him.

Qi Mo looked away and pursed the corners of his lips: "No." So far, no. ”

Song Lingyue's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this: "No?!" You haven't had a single thing in your life that you regret until now? I don't believe it. ”

"Not really, I don't lie to you." Qi Mo replied lightly, "I have always believed that all choices are destined, what is there to regret if they are destined?" ”

"That being said, but when you dream back in the middle of the night, don't you wonder what the future would have been like if you had made the opposite choice?" Song Lingyue tilted her head to look at him, stirring her fingers, "I can't, I always think about what I would be like now if I made another choice." ”

"But there's no other option." Qi Mo said lightly, "Every choice you make is the choice you think is the most beneficial for you at the moment, so you can't predict how this choice will affect and change your life in the future." It is only in the future that you will know what this choice will do for you. Again, that outcome may not be better than the current one. ”

Song Lingyue half-understood: "Then this shows that no matter how you choose, you may regret it." Because, the moment you choose is not the same as what you want at that moment in the future. ”

Qi Mo said lightly: "That's not right. What we really need to do is to fix the results that we might regret, rather than be afraid to make a choice. In fact, it wasn't you who chose Lu Li to change him from a rustic mountain baby to the shopkeeper who is now sleek and accidental, and he also made the choice. ”

"It seems to make some sense." After listening to Qi Mo's enlightenment, Song Lingyue let go of most of the small entanglements in her heart, and she also had a long-lost smile on her face.

"Whew! Hearing you say that, I don't think I'm so stressed. Still, I really didn't expect you to be quite comforting. Song Lingyue bumped Qi Mo with her shoulder.

Qi Mo lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled without answering, only whispered silently in his heart: I don't comfort people, I just comfort you.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival, the heat is getting stronger, the cicadas are not aware of the sound of the ears, and the pedestrians on the road are gradually decreasing.

The shops on both sides of the street are almost all in a state of crowding, and the taverns and teahouses are still in a state of bustle, and the apricot and peach trees planted on the side of the street are almost curled by the scorching sun.

Jizhou Mansion is located in the south, and the air naturally has a humid smell, hot and stuffy, even if the window is opened, there is no wind coming in.

Song Lingyue was already afraid of heat, and since the beginning of summer, she has begun to burn out, and her whole person looks wilted.

If it weren't for the opening of the medical hall, Song Lingyue wouldn't even want to get out of the door, this movement was sweating, the air was stuffy and damp, and occasionally a gust of wind blew but it couldn't send a moment of coolness, I only felt that the wind was stuffy and hot, and it was sticky and wrapped around the body, which was even more uncomfortable.

"Air conditioning, WiFi, ice cream, I miss you!" Song Lingyue wailed in her heart for the three hundred and sixty-fifth time.

Song Lingyue wanted to get some ice cubes for use more than once, but there were only three places in this realm where there were ice cellars for storing ice.

One is a medicine hall, which is used to preserve precious medicinal materials.

The second place is Lin Jinlan's house, Lin Jinlan invited Song Lingyue to move in with her and enjoy the ice cubes to cool off, but Song Lingyue is so embarrassed.

Besides, she can only go to the Lin Mansion alone, and the others don't want to be hot here, so they can only choose to give up.

Needless to say, the third place is naturally the Northern Hebei Palace. It should be the place where the entire Jizhou Mansion has the most ice cubes, and it is also the place where she is least likely to get ice cubes.

"Hot, hot, hot!" Song Lingyue pulled the collar with one hand, and shook the fan with the other, the wind from the fan was warm, with a sticky feeling of dampness and heat, which not only did not relieve the heat but made people feel uncomfortable.

The clothes of this ancient person are thick and long, and there are many rules, and the woman can't even show her arms, Song Lingyue feels that she is only afraid that she will suffocate the prickly heat of her body if she continues like this.

Although she can't store ice cubes, she still knows how to make ice.

As long as there is saltpeter, there is a constant supply of ice.

The problem is, however, she can't get saltpeter!

"Alas......" Song Lingyue sighed again, and threw the fan in her hand aside, this fan that does not relieve heat, the fan is useless.

"Qi Mo, is there a way for you to get saltpeter." Song Lingyue's eyes were straightened by the sweltering weather, and half of her body was stuck on the table, and she didn't have any image at all.

"Saltpeter?" Qi Mo was also a little lazy, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his neckline had been damp with sweat, "What do you want saltpeter for?" ”

Song Lingyue rolled her eyes angrily, "What can I do?" When it's so hot, of course, saltpeter is used to make ice. ”

It is no secret that saltpeter can be made of ice, and in such a summer, the dignitaries and dignitaries of the capital are indispensable to eat ice products made of saltpeter.

It's just that these ordinary people are more miserable, unless they have an ice cellar and can hide some ice when it snows in winter, otherwise they can only watch with their eyes.

"Saltpeter?" Qi Mo held his chin and thought slowly, "It's not that there are places where saltpeter is in Jizhou Mansion, but the saltpeter mines are all controlled by the imperial court, and they are easily not sold to the outside world." ”

As soon as Qi Mo's voice fell, Song Lingyue's little face immediately collapsed.

"However, if saltpeter is found in private territory, it will be owned by a private person, and only one layer needs to be handed over to the imperial court."

Qi Mo's words lit up Song Lingyue's eyes like a ray of light, but in the next second, his words extinguished the light again.

"However, it is not enough for private use, and it will not be easily sold to the outside world."

Song Lingyue glared at Qi Mo viciously: "What's the difference between you and not saying this, I feel even hotter now!" I'm going to have a fire in my head! ”

Song Lingyue waved her hands and made a gesture with her head on fire, staring at Qi Mo's gaze even more fiercely.

Qi Mo touched his nose helplessly, this is Jizhou Mansion and not the capital, if it is the capital, he still has a way to get saltpeter, and even ice cubes directly.

It's a pity that this is Jizhou Mansion, and he can't do anything.

Qi Mo spread his hands helplessly.

"I do know who has saltpeter." Liu Liang, who had been grinding medicinal herbs, opened his mouth coldly.

It's really embarrassing for him, he hasn't given up his work in such a hot weather, and he is diligently grinding medicinal herbs.

Song Lingyue turned her gaze to Liu Liang with a look of longing.

Liu Liang was almost embarrassed by Song Lingyue's hot eyes, and his two earlobes were so red that they were about to drip blood.

"Actually, you all know this person." As soon as Liu Liang's words came out, Song Lingyue suddenly raised her head: "Who?" ”

"Song Xuanran." Liu Liang spat out these three words on his thin lips.

Qi Mo's face sank, and his eyes slashed through Liu Liang.

Liu Liang shook his head and hurriedly staggered Qi Mo's gaze.

Song Lingyue was even more curious, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know that Song Xuanran will have saltpeter over there?" ”

Liu Liang looked at Qi Mo and then at Song Lingyue, cleared his throat, and said stubbornly in the face of Qi Mo's sight that was about to poke him to death:

"Wasn't it my turn to go to Xihe Village last month to check on the condition of the farmland? I heard that the Song family mined saltpeter in Fairy Peak, and I heard that there is a spring that sprays hot water. ”

Song Lingyue's eyes lit up, this Song Xuanran's luck is too good, mining mountains can actually mine saltpeter and dig out hot springs? This is simply a self-contained cheat buff!

"Wow! There are hot springs in winter and ice cubes in summer, it's simple! Don't you want to be so lucky! Song Lingyue's tone was already full of naked envy.

"Isn't it just a hot spring? Isn't it saltpeter! When I get back to the capital, I'll ......" Qi Mo muttered dissatisfiedly to the side, his voice was so small that he couldn't tell what he was saying unless he listened carefully.
