Qu Qianqiu seemed to be stunned, didn't move, and let her hold on.

It's not that he doesn't know, but he knows in his heart that how can someone be yelled at in front of him and shocked.

Now, he can no longer deceive himself.

His nose was sore, and he felt that he could struggle again: "How can I be worthy of you...... Why should you bother......"

Qu Qianqiu felt that he had no ability, he looked average, and the poor family was surrounded by walls, and the only thing he could do was a handful of splendid words, but unfortunately he couldn't get anything.

Thirty years of life, in vain.

He doesn't deserve her.

He can't promise a girl a splendid future, so he can only restrain his mind and pretend that he doesn't care.

Xiang Yin broke the last sentence after roaring, and the person's momentum was discharged.

She grabbed Qu Qianqiu's hand softly, as if she had lost the strength of her whole body.

"I just want you to ......," she said.

Qu Qianqiu couldn't bear to see her like this, many years ago she was the most bright and flamboyant little girl in the whole Lizhou, relying on her singing voice and beauty to look down on all beings, and he was a depressed and down-and-out literati, just because she liked a few words, and he has been entangled for several years......

She is no longer as fresh and jumpy as she was back then, and the time has precipitated to achieve a unique charm, a smile and a smile are all amorous, and he is still running around in the market, aging day after day......

The matter that the son of the transfer envoy wanted to redeem her made a fuss all over the city, but she just didn't agree, and no matter what others said, they couldn't persuade her. He also went, hoping that the girl would have a safe and smooth life for the rest of her life, but for the first time he saw her so angry that the broken mirror could never be restored......

Qu Qianqiu couldn't hold back any longer and hugged this soft-hearted girl into his arms......

Jiang Yunyu left quietly.

Feel sad.

She tripped over something under her feet and nearly fell. She squatted down to take a closer look, and it turned out to be a severed railing, and the material was fine white marble, but now it was lying randomly among the weeds.

She noticed some uneven marks on one side of the railing, so she rolled up her sleeves and reached out to flip it over, her curiosity was really strong, she didn't care about dirty, and wiped the dust on it one by one with her hands, until a few clear words were revealed: There is no grievance, and it is difficult to calm down.

The handwriting is deep into the white marble, and dark red blood stains can even be seen in the innermost cracks.

It's hard to settle...... Who's upset?

She remembered the rumors she had heard on the road before: the house was haunted.

She didn't dare to think about it any longer, so she tightened her clothes and trotted all the way back.

"Miss, where have you gone again?" Lan Qian greeted her with a big puff in her hand, and complained while draping her on her body.

"I am...... Just walk around......"

"Humph! I'll be angry if you don't take me anymore. "Jiang Yunyu really has no way to take her, this little temper...... Alas, it's not what she's used to. I could only rub her puffed face: "Okay, aren't I coming back?" ”

She wondered if she had always been alone in her previous life to develop this habit of going out alone.

Lan Qianbai died early, Dai Nong was forced out of the palace again, she didn't even have her own person in the big harem, she was alone in what she did......

But sixteen-year-old Jiang Yunyu hasn't experienced that yet, she should have been innocent and lively.

They won't see anything, will they? Jiang Yunyu began to worry about this, Dai Nong Lan is such a sensitive and intelligent person......

Forget it, just take it as a ...... After losing a loved one, my heart has changed dramatically, so it makes sense.

Evening.

Qu Qianqiu waited anxiously to listen to the fate, and he had been imprisoned in this place since that day when he was broken in. - It is not accurate to say that he is imprisoned, he eats and drinks well here, and no one beats and scolds him, the only thing is that he is not allowed to go out.

He really couldn't figure out this master's mind.

However, he also heard the matter from the gossip of the subordinates, but he also heard the matter from the gossip of the subordinates, and learned that Xie Qinglin did not kill on a large scale, and although the officials involved experienced a period of self-endangerment, they all survived in the end. As far as he knew, at most, someone had been taken from power.

Even the salt well exists uneventful.

So does it mean that he also has a way to live?

He originally had the heart of death, and he was already content if he survived.

Several people were sitting around a red sandalwood flat-cornered table, Xie Qinglin was sitting in the main seat, Jiang Yunyu and Song Xingqiao were on his left and right, opposite were the restless Qu Qianqiu and Xiangyin, Dai Nong, Lin Ying and the Song family's little servants were standing behind their masters and waiting, but it seemed that they were outnumbered, and the two opposite were at a loss.

Because of yesterday's "voyeurism", Jiang Yunyu already knew about the grievances and grievances between the two of them in advance.

The original intention of letting Xiangyin stay here temporarily was to protect her, but she didn't know that she later learned that Qu Qianqiu was also here, and she refused to leave.

Xiangyin did not apply powder today, and the green silk such as the waterfall was only loosely pulled up with a white jade plum hairpin, and the complexion looked very good.

I don't know what happened between the two of them after she left yesterday, Jiang Yunyu thought secretly in her heart.

"Mr. Qianqiu" is a person from the west of the city? Xie Qinglin asked.

Although he didn't understand the purpose of his question, Qu Qianqiu still replied respectfully: "That's right, I grew up in the west of the city since I was a child, and when I became an adult, I traveled all over the world for my family, and then I felt that I was old, so I came back. ”

Song Xingqiao interjected: "When you are established, are you already old?" ”

Qu Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "Since I can't compare to the son's unbridled manner, I am still a person who is tired of mundane things after all." ”

Song Xingqiao is eighteen years old, the serious teenager does not know the taste of sorrow, for the age of the new word to say sorrow, he has been pampered since he was a child, Song is biased towards this little son, a young man of his age in the capital has already begun to help share the family's affairs. It's just him, and the biggest thing every day is to eat, drink and have fun.

He pursed his lips and said no more.

Xie Qinglin said again: "No wonder, I don't think your care for the people in the west of the city is fake. ”

"I'm alone, and I have nothing to worry about, so if I give up my life, it's good for them to have a place to stay." After saying this, he secretly glanced at Xiangyin, and was relieved to see that her expression was as usual.

Jiang Yunyu secretly scolded him, he was really unconscionable, and he didn't know what Xiangyin had taken a fancy to him.

"However," Xie Qinglin still had one more thing to do, "Do you know why there are so many displaced people in the west of the city?" No one is willing to do farming? ”

Xie Qing thought of this afterwards, under normal circumstances, there should not have been so many people to work, after all, the people take food as the sky, and the land is the foundation of people's lives.

Qu Qianqiu let out a long sigh after hearing this, "My lord, it's not that the villagers are lazy and don't do anything about farming, but that the land in the west of the city is barren, and if the seeds are planted, if they are unlucky, they won't even sprout; Even if it grows, it often doesn't harvest all year round. ”

When Jiang Yunyu heard this, her heart twitched.

The overwhelming memories poured in again, in the previous life, there was a great drought in Jianghuai, there was no good harvest for three years, and in the first year, people could still live on surplus grain, plus the relief of the imperial court, but there was no big accident; In the second year, there was still no rain, and Xie Qing ordered all over the country to donate grain to Jianghuai, but unfortunately it was only a drop in the bucket, and people had to tighten their belts and live with rice soup; By the third year, the wild vegetables in the field were all dug up, the court was at a loss, countless people starved to death, and in some places there was even a tragedy of cannibalism.

Hell on earth, nothing more than that.

She endured her headache and asked in a low voice, "May I ask what is the cause of this, and why is this land not suitable for farming?" ”

"At first, no one knew about it, but it was just to annoy the god of the land, and we have always had the custom of worshipping the land, but it didn't work...... It took me a few years to speculate that it might be caused by salt water underground. ”

The soil is salty, and crops cannot grow.

Jiang Yunyu understood, she had read in a book that the conditions for crops to grow were extremely harsh, water, salt, and sand, and the slightest mistake would affect the harvest.

Qu Qianqiu's talent is indeed worthy of his reputation.

Xie Qinglin rubbed his chin: "I see, it is precisely because of this that the salt well here is so prosperous." ”

Qu Qianqiu nodded slowly: "My lord is wise." ”

That being the case, it's a bit tricky.

"So they've been living on food?"

"Exactly." Qu Qianqiu replied slowly. "So the salt wells can't be stopped, and once they stop, they won't be able to live. That's why I had the courage to propose a plan to Lord Zhizhou. ”

"Sir has a heart." Xie Qinglin said, "Would you like to go back to Beijing with me?" To tell you the truth, there is still a lack of pen and ink literati in my house. I wonder what Mr. thinks? ”

They are also here to talk about where Qu Qianqiu and Xiangyin will go in the future, and there will definitely be no place for them in Lizhou.

Xie Qinglin really admired his talent, so he couldn't help but want to recruit people under his command, so he asked.

Unexpectedly, he was refused, "The villain is not talented, just an idler who sells words for a living." I'm afraid I can't afford the love of adults. Qu Qianqiu said with a wry smile.

This is completely unexpected by him, he is here in Xu Guanhai, he is also eating and barely getting by, it seems that this adult is much more difficult to fool than Xu Guanhai.

Of course, he is also a little unconfident.

Xie Qinglin seemed to have guessed that this would happen, and he looked at Xiangyin again: "What does that girl think?" ”

Xiangyin had no expression on his face, and said lightly: "Wherever Mr. Qianqiu goes, I will go." ”

It seemed that she had expected such an answer, and no one was surprised.

Only Song Xingqiao seemed to be a pity.

Xie Qinglin asked with a smile again: "Mr. Qianqiu is so ruthless, can you really bear to watch Miss Xiangyin accompany you homeless?" ”

Qu Qianqiu was speechless, but Xiangyin spoke for him first: "Even if it's a meal and sleeping, Xiangyin is willing." Her complexion was as indifferent as ever, as if what she said did not determine the rest of his life.

Song Xingqiao exaggerated and shouted: "There is a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for!" ”

Qu Qianqiu didn't know what to say, Xiangyin had already confessed his heart to him yesterday.

He began to ask himself, what kind of affection did he have for Xiangyin?

The answer is self-evident, he can't deceive himself after all.

He still wants to take Xiangyin to live a stable life, and following this Lord Xie seems to be the best choice.

So he left the chair and knelt down with Xiang Yin, "Then it's troublesome for adults." ”

"Two of you, please." Xie Qinglin stood up and floated for a moment.

At this time, Qu Qianqiu didn't know that the person in front of him was the crown prince of the dynasty, and when he learned the truth in the future, he couldn't help but congratulate himself on what a wise decision he had made.

And Xiangyin finally fulfilled the dream of her girlhood.
