Li Yi got up and flew away.

Pei Qing didn't wait for him until he fell asleep after washing his white.

However, when she got up early to inspect the progress of the ferry, her face was very bad.

But there is something worse than her face - Huang Gongzi, who was in a wheelchair watching the construction of the ferry, even had a blanket on his body, and he seemed to be sick.

At first, neither of them spoke, but silently watched as the workers spread the stones on the rammed very flat ground, and finally another layer of cement was laid on top of them.

Knowing Huang Gongzi's ventriloquism, he broke the solemnity between the two: "The princess doesn't look very good, doesn't it matter?"

Pei Qing said casually: "I made a lot of noise last night, and I didn't sleep well."

What she didn't see was that Huang Gongzi's hands under the blanket instantly tightened.

"A friend has a cicada slave at home, and he just gave birth to a litter of kittens, so it's okay to give one to the princess?" The ventriloquist voice of the flat plate implied a gentle taste, Huang Gongzi did not show it on his face, but the words he said were really concerned.

Pei Qing glanced at him a little surprised: "Cicada slave?"

Huang Gongzi nodded almost imperceptibly: "The princess of the previous dynasty raised cats, the white one was called the cicada slave, and the black one was named Kunlun Daji, so the royal tribute cat of this dynasty is also known as the cicada slave."

Chinese people began to raise cats on a large scale, as early as during the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the people's pockets were bulging, and their living conditions were improved, so everyone gradually began to pursue spiritual happiness. At this time, the number of people who have cats as pets has gradually increased. Li Shangyin wrote "The civet slave sleeps on the mandarin duck tile", the raccoon slave is a cat, the houses in the palace are all wooden structures, and the cats are raised for the rat-proof of the major halls in the palace.

"Tribute cat?" Pei Qingrao is soft intestines all night, and she can't help but smile at the moment, what girl doesn't love cats?

- Even the female overlord always loves it!

"What's so embarrassing about that?" She hesitated a little and said, "Tribute cats are too rare, and they can't be bought with money, so they still can't." ”

Huang Gongzi didn't start, leaving her with a sick and beautiful side face: "The princess is so anxious to break off the relationship with someone?"

Pei Qing blinked his eyes and said innocently: "How can this be regarded as a clear relationship?"

The trade relationship of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year can't be cleared up if you want to.

"Then don't refuse what someone gave you," Huang Gongzi's ventriloquist was soft but firm, "With cats, there must be no more rats in the house." ”

Pei Qing didn't really want to refuse, but he was just worried that he would have a backhand.

"It's okay, this princess can change her residence." She said lightly, and finally did not respond to his kindness.

Huang Gongzi's hands hidden in the blanket were clenched tighter, almost tearing the blanket to pieces, but his face was still light, and his ventriloquist was even lighter: "That's it."

The cold field hit again, and the two involuntarily turned their attention to the ferry construction project.

Now except for those people in the mine who can't come back, as long as the people in the whole county can come, all come to work at the ferry, with enough wages, enough materials, and cement that can be called immortal, so that the ferry construction is very fast.

Now eight of the ten ferry crossings have been completed, and the last two intersections are left, and only the concrete surface is left.

"Speaking of which, I don't know how to thank Huang Gongzi, the caravan in the former county has now gone through the experience of the border pass and the mutual market, plus the northern trade route map that Huang Gongzi gave to the princess, you can set off as soon as the farm is over," Pei Qing said at the right time, breaking the cold field, "But the products in our county and the products of the Huang family caravan will not conflict, but will complement them, Huang Gongzi, please don't worry, this palace will not only not rob your family's resources, but will even cooperate with your family for a win-win situation and build brilliance." ”

Huang Gongzi listened expressionlessly, his hair covered his pale handsome face, and his face under the light veil was almost transparent.

"There are losses and gains, gains and losses, these are all known." He replied without leaking any emotion.

The corners of Pei Qing's mouth were slightly hooked, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "Huang Gongzi is transparent, this princess still has to ask you for more advice."

Huang Gongzi didn't speak, in the shadow covered by his hair, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, faintly like candlelight swaying in the wind.

"Now that the ferry is almost built, isn't it time for the shipyard to go to the project?" Pei Qing felt that the foreshadowing was almost the same, and immediately showed up in poverty, "When does Huang Gongzi plan to get a shipyard and dock for Xixian County?" ”

Huang Gongzi replied without emotion: "It depends on when the princess prepares the cement and meteoric iron bow."

Pei Qing, who entered the business cooperation mode, paid a high degree of concentration, and said unhurriedly: "Now I can only get out a thousand bags of cement and fifty meteoric iron bows, and Huang Gongzi can ask for it whenever he wants."

As long as he's ready to deliver on his promises.

"If everything is ready to stop, someone can leave now," Huang Gongzi looked excited, "Zuo is just a trip to the border pass, and you can go at any time." ”

Seeing him wrapping the blanket tightly, so sick that he couldn't get up but had to hold on, even Pei Qing, the iron-hearted boss, couldn't help but be moved.

"It's all to blame for the princess's persecution of Gongzi too much, and if Huang Gongzi wants to blame, blame the former county for being too backward." Her rare conscience found out, and apologized in disguise.

Huang Gongzi gently pulled the blanket all the way to his chin, knocked on the wheelchair sullenly and said, "It's good that you know."

Pei Qing: ???

Pei Qing: Are you polite?

Pei Qing: That's a kind word from me! Can't hear it?

The entourage pushed Huang Gongzi's wheelchair and turned away, and his ventriloquist came from the air: "Prepare something and send someone to inform so-and-so, and so-and-so will go back first."

*

Two hours later, Pei Qing stood on the dilapidated city tower of Xixian County, watching the trainees of the Xixian regiment who escorted a thousand bags of cement and fifty meteoric iron bows go away with the Huang family's carriage and guards, and somehow suddenly sighed heavily.

Ah Xing asked tentatively beside her: "Is the princess Niangniang worried about Huang Gongzi's itinerary?"

Could Huang Gongzi be the thief who sneaked into the princess's boudoir at night?

It looks completely unimaginable!

How could he be so weak?

I only heard Pei Qing's leisurely answer: "It's not that this princess is thinking that when the demolition and transformation of the city is completed, it will be time to renovate our city wall, which is such a big project."

Sun Miaomiao next to her somehow sighed.

Pei Qing hummed softly and tenderly: "If you have mouth sores, treat them as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to eat barbecue."

Sun Miaomiao originally complained seriously in her heart about the person who touched the princess's boudoir, and when she heard that there was barbecue to eat, she suddenly forgot everything, she held Pei Qing with her eyes shining, and asked attentively: "Are you tired, princess?" Do you want to carry you back? The barbecue is hard work, so I'd rather save some energy~"

The master and servant left the city tower and returned to the manor outside the city.

Not long after he came back, the female guard guarding the door came to report: "Princess Niangniang, the king shopkeeper of Xinglong Qianzhuang has come to ask to see you."

Pei Qing's eyes lit up: "It's finally here, are you here to give me a loan?"
