Shen Xihe's slightly raised eyebrows made Xiao Huayong's hair fluttering in the wind become gentle. He looked at her without blinking, as if he was under a spell.
There is no burning gaze, no affectionate gaze, no lingering eyes.
Just looking at her quietly, she felt that his whole body seemed to be shrouded in the light of sunset, and there was infinite warmth between heaven and earth.
If it weren't for the wet wind blowing around the small window, causing the green leaves in the long-necked vase beside him to tremble gently, he would look like a still painting at this moment.
"You... why are you suddenly looking at me like this?" Shen Xihe was puzzled.
Xiao Huayong seemed startled, and quickly came back to his senses. He seemed to have thought of something, and a tender smile flashed across his lips. He raised his eyes to meet Shen Xihe's puzzled gaze, and his voice was exceptionally gentle: "I just thought of something."
Shen Xihe must not have noticed that her expression at that moment was exactly the same as his own.
In this way, subconsciously and unconsciously, the shadow of another person appears, which is the beginning of putting a person in your heart.
This realization made Xiao Huayong in a good mood!
For several days, his eyes seemed to be glued to Shen Xihe. His gaze was gentle and contained no distracting thoughts, making Shen Xihe unable to start talking even though she wanted to say something to him.
She tried hard to reflect on what she had done to make him happy, but after thinking for a long time she still couldn't figure it out, so she simply put it out of her mind.
After four consecutive days, the first batch of grain was finally safely delivered to the county, and then supervised by Xiao Changqing, it was delivered to various towns through the stationed military guards.
This batch of grain has solved all the current needs in the county, but the continuous heavy rain has caused increasingly serious waterlogging, which has become the biggest hidden danger now.
Many people had difficulty draining the accumulated water in their homes, so they braved the heavy rain and went to the government office to ask the county magistrate for help.
The county magistrate was very glad that Prince Xin and Prince Jing were here at the moment, so it was not his turn to make the decision, and he didn't have to scratch his head!
He doesn't have to take responsibility if he doesn't do it well, and he can just ask Xiao Changqing and Xiao Changyan for instructions.
The two had no choice but to gather together to discuss countermeasures. They did come up with some methods, but they were all temporary solutions and not fundamental solutions. Xiao Changqing had no choice but to seek advice from Tao Zhuanxian and the others. Tao Zhuanxian did not hide anything and said, "The fundamental solution is to dig channels and divert the water into the sea."
Xiao Changqing was shocked. He did not doubt that since Tao Zhuanxian had proposed this, he must have no other way or was very confident. However, this method was too dangerous and no one dared to propose it.
"Has Lord Tao reported this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Xiao Changqing asked.
"I dare not hide it and not report it." Tao Zhuanxian replied.
Xiao Changqing seemed to be thinking about something, then he clasped his hands and bowed to Tao Zhuanxian, then left silently.
On this day, Tao Zhuanxian and Zhong Pingzhi came and handed over the final excavation plan to Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong. Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong were not as well versed in this as they were. They listened carefully to what they said and raised some of their concerns. The four of them discussed carefully and made sure to minimize possible accidents. After most of the day's heated discussion, they finally decided on this method.
The next morning, Shen Xihe brought a bowl of medicine to Xiao Huayong.
The man in front of him was smiling, with ill intentions mixed with a hint of joking. Xiao Huayong simply leaned back and asked, "Is this what you were thinking?"
