Chapter 33: Vinegar
Zhao Xu listened and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, fragrant flowers are made. I'm going to see how the levee is going. ”
Qian Manguan volunteered to be a guide, Zhao Xu took a look, and felt that although it was simple, it was not easy to do it in a short time, so he didn't say anything, only praised the village chief and the villagers a few words, saying that they were knowledgeable.
When she returned to Xianghua's house, Zhao Xu told her about it.
Xianghua smiled: "Little general......"
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Okay, call me Brother Zhao." ”
Xianghua had no choice but to smile and said, "Brother Zhao, you can also see that our dam is simple, but if you want to build a good one, you have to spend a lot of money." Not to mention our family, even our village, we can't make up so much for the time being. ”
Zhao Xu nodded, he followed his father to the north and south, and knew a lot of things, and it would cost a hundred taels to repair this embankment.
"I thought, since I brought this up, I should do my best." "The hardest thing is the money." I had a bold idea. ”
Zhao Xu raised his eyes and looked at her radiant little face, and said with a smile: "You say." ”
Xianghua said as she sorted out her thoughts: "I want to buy Xiaoqingshan, I am now raising quails on the mountain, and I have already made some profits." I also thought about one other thing, that if I did it well, I would make more money. I will use the money to build the levee first and then dredge the river. ”
Zhao Xu patted the table and exclaimed: "Okay! In this way, Qingshan Village does not have to worry about flooding, and the people in the village can find other ways out except farming, which is the best of both worlds! Do you want to borrow money? How much do you need? ”
Xianghua shook her head and said seriously: "I already have a way to deal with money." What I want is a letter of recommendation from General Zhao. ”
"Recommendations?" Zhao Xu is really not sure about this, if it is money, he doesn't need to ask his father, he can take it out himself, but the recommendation is not necessarily.
Xianghua said: "I know this is difficult, thank you Brother Zhao for not doing it." I am also going to write a letter to General Zhao and tell him what happened. ”
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "This is more appropriate." Have you written your case? ”
Xianghua smiled, her eyes drooping: "...... I haven't written yet, I can't write. ”
Xianghua didn't lie. She doesn't talk to others on a daily basis, but the words here are all crooked, I don't know which dynasty it is, she can neither read nor write. Taro has a special identity and cannot be exposed for the time being.
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Blame me, blame me." I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be able to write. So be it, you say, I'll write it. ”
Xianghua looked at him with sparkling eyes and nodded with a smile.
When Taro and Cheng Linchang came back, Xiangmiao and Donglin were playing in the yard, and Xianghua and Zhao Xu walked out of the house with a smile.
Xianghua smiled sweetly and said to Zhao Xu: "Then please Brother Zhao." ”
Taro raised his eyebrows: Brother Zhao?
Zhao Xu smiled and waved his hand: "You are hiding all your birds, and if you entrust me with something, you will drive me away." ”
Xianghua couldn't cry or laugh: "Where are you going to drive you away?" I'm going to make you quail eggs! ”
Quail eggs?
Taro looked at Zhao Xu, who was smiling heartily, and felt a little eye-catching.
In the evening, because he ate more quail eggs, Zhao Xu went to the river to walk to eat, and before he went far, he noticed that someone was following him.
"Come out and do something in the back quietly."
Taro emerges from the night.
"When are you leaving?" He asked.
Zhao Xu rubbed his stomach and said, "Xianghua, the master, is still talking, what are you doing in a hurry?" ”
Taro said unceremoniously: "There are some things that she can't say as the master, so I'll say it for her." ”
Zhao Xu heard the meaning of the words, frowned and asked, "Where did I provoke you?" ”
Taro said coldly: "I don't like to sleep in the same room with you." ”
"You've got a big temper." Zhao Xu didn't take it seriously, and turned around, "If I hadn't known that you were a relative of Xianghua, I would have thought you were a son-in-law from somewhere-"
Before Zhao Xu finished speaking, a strong wind came towards him from behind, and he turned around to block it, and the man's other arm had already come up.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already made a few moves.
Zhao Xu squinted at the taro: "Do you know martial arts?" ”
Taro didn't answer, a sweeping leg attacked him directly, and Zhao Xu also cheered up and talked to him.
The two of them fought for a cup of tea, but they couldn't tell the difference between up and down, but they were a little out of breath.
"Good fellow...... You, you're hidden. Zhao Xu said to the taro with a smile.
The taro adjusted his breath, and attacked again without saying a word.
The two were fighting inseparably, when suddenly a cry of fragrant flowers came from the riverbank: "Brother Zhao, where are you?" ”
At this time, the taro had locked into Zhao Xu's throat, and Zhao Xu also slapped his palm on the taro's chest, which seemed to be indistinguishable, but both of them had their own way out.
But when Xianghua saw the two of them, Taro suddenly put his hand away, and the whole person was beaten out by Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu was stunned for a while, and he didn't even take back his palm.
"Taro!" Xianghua was taken aback and hurriedly ran over to help him.
The taro barely stabilized his body, but he didn't hold on, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Xianghua was startled, looked up and asked Zhao Xu: "Little general, why did you beat him?" ”
Zhao Xu didn't expect the taro to suddenly stop, and he couldn't say three or two sentences, so he could only say: "Xianghua, it's not what you see, I didn't mean it." ”
Deliberately or not, aren't people beaten like this?
Xianghua glanced at him with some reproach, put Taro's arm on her shoulder, and helped him up: "Let's go back and talk about it." ”
Chenggang took the pulse for a while, and then turned back to Xianghua and said: "The taro is an internal injury, but fortunately, it is not serious, and it will be good to recuperate for a while." ”
Xianghua asked: "I'm vomiting blood, isn't it serious?" ”
Cheng Gang smiled: "No, don't worry." I'll prescribe medicine, and you can give him a drink when you're ready. ”
Xianghua followed Chenggang to get the medicine, and when she saw Zhao Xu in front of her, she didn't say a word to him, her eyes swept over him and went out.
Cheng Linchang looked embarrassed next to him, and said with a haha: "Little general, Xianghua is this temper, and she values the people around her." That time, her uncle and mother hit Donglin twice, and she rushed up to ask for justice. ”
Zhao Xu smiled bitterly: "Hey, I didn't expect it to be like this, she should be angry with me." ”
Cheng Linchang saw that Xianghua was back, so he hurriedly said: "Xianghua, I'll send you Uncle Chenggang, you can accompany General Zhao Xiao well." ”
Xianghua glanced at Zhao Xu and walked back to the bed without saying a word.
The taro was still asleep and didn't wake up.
"Xianghua, I really didn't mean to. I was sparring with him before you came......" Zhao Xu explained clumsily.
Xianghua turned to look at him: "Little general, taro is a bit of a three-legged cat kung fu, but how can he compare with you?" ”
Zhao Xu was surprised: "How can he call the three-legged cat kung fu?" He's on par with me! ”
Xianghua pointed to the pale taro and asked him, "No matter how big or low, as for being beaten like this?" ”
Zhao Xu was speechless for a while, and said hurriedly: "He did it on purpose!" ”
