Before leaving the palace, I stopped by to visit the old man Zhong Shan. He saved me time and time again, but I was afraid that there would be no chance to repay.
Qin Tianjian was still deserted and quiet, I walked in, and the old man Zhong Shan was cultivating soil for a few orchids.
"Old Zhongshan!" I stepped forward to help him.
"Hey! Don't move!" Elder Zhong Shan stopped me and pushed me back, "Little boy, stand farther away!"
I took a few steps back suspiciously, waited for him to wipe the dirt off his hands, and entered the house with him. The room was much warmer, but he added a charcoal basin, fiddled with it and moved it to me, I stretched out my hand to bake, and my cold body immediately warmed up.
"Are you warm?" he asked with concern.
I smiled contentedly and nodded vigorously.
"How does the old man Zhongshan know that I'm so cold?" I couldn't help but wonder.
"Your body—" He suddenly cut off the conversation again, "Why did Shaoyuan let you out?"
"I—" I don't know how to describe my falling out with Beichen Shaoyuan.
Anyway, people are inherently dead, so why force it, in the Xie Wang Mansion, it is more comfortable to die.
I was silent, and the old man Zhong Shan also accompanied me. The two of them stared blankly at the beating sparks in the charcoal basin, and occasionally made a "crack" sound, which would not be too dull.
"Children, do you miss home?" Suddenly, the old man Zhong Shan asked me.
I was startled and looked at him, he was still staring at the red glowing charcoal, his face was indescribably strange.
How can I miss home! Alone in a different world, fearing for life safety, intriguing among men, and there is not even a person to talk to, even if I have a hard heart, it is inevitable that I will have moments of loneliness and helplessness.
Now that my life is coming to an end, it is time to stop. As for home, my heart can't help but tremble, how far away that is, and that kind of warmth can only be recollected in my memory, and I can't help but feel a little moist in my eyes.
"Think." I said softly, for fear of choking my voice.
The old man Zhong Shan raised his head and saw that my eyes were red.
"Then what wishes do you have yet to achieve here? Maybe the old man can help."
The old man Zhong Shan has superb medical skills. He knows that I will die soon, so he wants to help me realize my wish.
All I think now is that the corrupt officials have not been eliminated, and my wishes are not balanced.
If there is any resentment, it is to think of my Wang Izumo, the beauty doctor has not yet become rampant in the world, and he has ended up with a bad life. The most hateful thing is that there are so many top-notch beautiful men, so that I can't even talk about a love!
But this, I don't think the old man Zhong Shan can help, so I shook my head at him.
"Alas!" He sighed unexpectedly, turned his back, couldn't bear to let me see a look of grief.
The tears I held back finally rolled and fell, thinking that I would just walk away cleanly, as if I had come quietly, but it still caused sadness here.
"Old Zhongshan!" I wiped away my tears and forced a smile, "Everyone here is very kind to me, I won't be sad."
The old man Zhong Shan sighed at me again, and it was worth it to get the two sighs of an expert in this world!
"I'll do my best!" He patted my thin shoulder with the utmost kindness.
Knowing that I have no medicine to heal, and yet so comforting me, I am so grateful that I can only give him a deep hug.
He obviously didn't expect my action, his body was shocked, I leaned on his shoulder and smiled, and said softly:
"It's our etiquette!"
When I came back from Ziwei City, regardless of my exhaustion, I immediately brought a pile of accounts and began to bury my head in sorting them out.
These were the ones I was a conscientious person when I was the minister of household, and brought back some old official documents. At that time, I was just curious about the ancient official documents, so I brought them all back, and I didn’t care about them. I didn’t expect to send them here today. Great use.
Using my poor statistical knowledge, I recorded tax revenue, expenditure, etc. year by year, classified them by category, and drew them in a table, which was clear and clear at a glance.
I don't know if I don't know the statistics, but I'm startled by the statistics. The grain tax alone is levied indiscriminately, and the misappropriation has no bottom. Even a layman like me can see the clues.
Looking at the pile of data on the table, I can't help but be shocked. Behind these cold numbers are how many families are broken up, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
In the state of Xi, there must be hidden worries in the prosperous world.
Mo Xichen is right!
After finishing finishing, I felt tired, so I gave Yi a rest for a while, and there was a lot of noise outside.
"Master!"
People are outside, and the voice has penetrated in. I know without looking, it must be Xiaojia.
I don't know what "big event" this time is for!
I was waiting for Xiao Jia, but it wasn't just this little girl who came in. She dragged one person and pulled in, followed by Yin Yi and Qiu Qiu. Qiu Qiu had a vigilant look on his face. As soon as he came in, he stood beside me, secretly posing a protective stance.
What character makes everyone look like a big enemy? Suddenly there were four more people, and my study couldn't help but look crowded.
"Come on!" Xiaojia impatiently pulled the man's sleeve.
When he came in, I was surprised to find that he was also an acquaintance!
"Cang Mu?" I looked at him suspiciously, what's the situation? How could Cang Mu be dragged in by Xiaojia's hand like a thief
"Huh? Young master, do you know him?" Xiaojia pushed Cang Mu and said proudly, "I said a long time ago that there was a thief in the house, but I caught this guy in the middle of the day!"
Cangmu is a thief? There is a misunderstanding. I wrinkled and looked at Yin Yi, who also told me that he didn't know.
Cang Mu ignored Xiao Jia and looked straight at me.
"Cang Mu, what's going on?" I had to ask him.
"I'm not a thief," he said briefly, without wasting a word.
"How dare you make excuses!" Xiao Jia heard the words, raised her eyebrows, and shouted with her hands on her hips, "Why are you sneaking around outside my house if it's not a thief?"
"I'm just protecting Master Jun on the orders of the lord." Cang Mu still looked at me and said lightly.
Cang Mu's disdain angered Xiao Jia, and she stomped her feet angrily.
"Humph! It turned out to be the same group with the dead ordinary!" Xiaojia pointed at him and said, "I noticed it since the flower pot was broken, and I was almost misled by the dead boy at first, and then the tiles on the house were broken several times. I just felt something was wrong, and after squatting for several times, I finally caught you, how dare you say that you are not a thief?"
Cang Mu didn't admit or deny, his silence made Xiao Jia even more unhappy, and he almost got into trouble with him with a stack of sleeves.
I hurriedly stopped Xiaojia, and Cang Mu also gave Xiaojia a surprised look. He probably didn't expect any girl to want to fight with him, but our little Jia was not that one under my influence. The soft, weak, submissive and gentle little girl!
"Xiao Jia, let him go." I instructed lightly.
"But Master—"
I glared at her, and she had no choice but to watch Cang Mu leave angrily, but Cang Mu, who had always been cold, unexpectedly glanced at her, but she had a look on her face that "only women and villains are difficult to support".
Naturally, it was impossible for Yi Cangmu's skills to smash the tiles, let alone be caught by Xiaojia, and the reason should be figured out sometime.
However, even if this matter is over now, Beichen Shaoyuan's subordinates will not be against me. Yin Yi nodded to me clearly, without questioning.
Immediately, when he saw the form I had arranged on the table, he raised his head in surprise.
I took a look and saw the tables full of paper and the numbers and formulas that were absolutely ghost-like to him. Even Ah Xing took a long time to learn to accept Arabic numerals and Latin letters. Although Yin Yi is also very smart, he is more In the line of strategy, mathematics... let's forget it.
I was very tired at this meeting and couldn't explain it completely, so I smiled apologetically, he nodded sympathetically, and left behind the scolding Xiaojia
