Xue Tingxiang didn't expect her to be like this, and was very stunned.
Zhao'er was also a little stunned, and at the same time, she realized what she had done, and she shouted in a guilty conscience: "How can you be like this!"
As he said that, tears spilled out involuntarily.
Realizing that she was crying, Zhao'er seemed a little flustered, hurriedly wiped her face, turned around and hid herself under the quilt.
These days, she has also realized that she has done something wrong, and she feels very guilty.
Because she focused her attention on business, she did ignore Xue Tingxiang and her son, but she didn't want to.
People's horizons gradually grow with their knowledge. Zhao'er often thinks that she has done a good job, but soon reality will tell her that she has not done enough. Just like in Xia County, like in Beijing, like in Nanzhili this time.
Others always think that running a business seems to be very simple, and she can always handle all situations with ease, but in fact it is not the case.
There are not so many shortcuts in this world. There is no reason for Gao Sheng to struggle in Nanjing. In order to get a large amount of silk, she traveled a lot. If this one doesn't work, she will switch to another one. In order to convince the boss, she once stood guard outside a large silk store for a few days.
There are people who are willing to listen to what she has to say, and there are many people who are unwilling. She has seen them cold-eyed and cold-faced. She also thought about giving up, but thinking about Dinghai's situation and the hidden worries, she gritted her teeth and forced a smile without giving up any hope.
Even drinking flower wine, could it be that as a woman, she doesn't know the kind of place where her daughter can't go. But if you want to make a business, it shouldn't be someone else to accommodate you, but you to accommodate others.
In the past, among women, Zhao'er had a very good amount of alcohol, but now it is a huge amount, and even many men are not as good as her. Naturally, these are not achieved overnight, but are honed after drinking and vomiting again and again.
She will also miss her husband and son, especially Hong'er. Every time she thinks that her son is still so young and her mother is not around, she will feel ashamed and saddened.
But she didn't have time to think about it at all, and the sense of urgency in her heart kept pressing her. Maybe other people don't know, how could Zhao'er, as a bedside person, not know that the situation is all bluff.
There is no so-called backer, no so-called talisman. If so, in those nights, she wouldn't wake up every time, no one was around, but the light in the study was on.
It's just that he didn't say it, she didn't dare to ask, she could only try to help him.
So she suggested that everyone else is doing it, why can't she do it herself, so all the people she can call are transferred to Dinghai.
But she knew it wasn't enough.
Money can make you grind and push ghosts. Doesn't the court need money? As long as there is a lot of money, the difficulties in front of you will naturally be solved.
The three million taels reported to the court, even if the deduction for the shipbuilding amount was deducted, was very empty, because the first time came, there were no people, and the so-called momentum building was nothing more than throwing money at it.
Where does this silver come from? Where does the money distributed to the people below come from
But it is a steady stream, one truck after another of goods shipped to Dinghai in exchange.
Everyone thought that the following people were making a lot of money, and Xue Zhixian must have made a lot of money. No one knew that part of the silver in the county government's silver treasury was actually filled in by Xue Tingxiang with his entire net worth.
Finally, everything rained and the weather was fine, Emperor Jiacheng was happy, the court was happy, and everyone below was happy, but as a trick to manage the accounts, it was hard to say.
But after thinking about it, silver is a bastard, you spend it today and earn it tomorrow, so let's earn it again.
Zhao'er wanted to set up the business, so he could take a rest at home, and he didn't have to run out every day in the future. Who ever wanted to rush back, first was scolded by her sister, and then Xue Tingxiang was stingy with her.
Zhao'er's growth experience has caused her to swallow herself bitterly and tiredly, with a smile on her face. But this time, she couldn't help it!
She thought that the tears would be gone when she wiped them away, but unfortunately she ignored the anger in her heart, which blocked her eyes and felt aggrieved, and the tears flowed continuously like a never-ending river.
Seeing her shaking shoulders, Xue Tingxiang was immediately dumbfounded.
After being silly, I was a little flustered, so I couldn't help reaching out and pulling her: "Don't cry, it's all my fault."
"Don't talk to me now, I don't want to talk to you."
"You don't want to ignore me, but I want to ignore you."
He cheekily came behind her and wrapped her around her. She didn't push him, but he insisted on wrapping his arms around her waist. The two of you were pulling back and forth, and Zhao'er was so angry that he couldn't stop crying.
"go away!"
"I do not go!"
Zhao'er was defeated by his shamelessness, and cried angrily: "You will bully me!"
You will bully me!
In that dream, Zhao'er also said the same, but it was completely inconsistent with the current situation.
In fact, on second thought, he wouldn't just bully her.
Knowing that she felt guilty and guilty, he bullied her intensified. It was obvious that he was not angry, but he wanted to see her take care of himself, to see how she dared to be angry but not to speak out, so as to explain why she was at home after these days. A cold gloom.
He was finally affected by that dream, maybe that's what he was in essence, and there was still the shadow of the willful and arrogant teenager from a long time ago, relying on her to let her take whatever she wanted, so he bullied her unscrupulously. It just stemmed from the fear of that dream, so he carefully hid it, but inadvertently revealed his true form.
He wrapped her tightly around her and buried his chin in her neck: "I was wrong, I won't do it again." He said it very solemnly.
"You're shameless, I'll ignore you." Zhao'er pushed him hard, but couldn't push him away, a string in his heart suddenly burst, and he pushed him a little while crying: "You're too much, you are like that."
This 'that' naturally means that Xue Tingxiang used Zhao'er's hand to solve it every time in order to show that he was angry, but turned a deaf ear to her.
When Zhao'er said this, Xue Tingxiang also felt that it was shameless and boring for him to do so.
"I'm actually just kidding you."
"Just kidding me? Are you kidding me like that every night? Pretending to be hurt in front of my sister, and letting me be scolded by my sister's nose, are you kidding me too?" It seems that Xue Tingxiang did nothing before Concealed. The more considerate and tolerant he behaves, the more he will reprimand her for the sake of her sister.
These words made Xue Tingxiang lose face. He put his face on her shoulder and rubbed, muttering, "I'm just mad at you for not coming back. I miss you every night. I'm going crazy thinking about you. If you want to make trouble with you, your mind is not on me, and then make trouble..." and became addicted.
These words made Zhao'er push him, and suddenly it disappeared.
Obviously Xue Tingxiang has not said similar things before, but Zhao'er has never been so uncomfortable. A little embarrassed, a little shy, and a lot of inexplicable emotions, reverberating in my heart.
"I miss you, I miss you so much, I can't wait to find you and throw everything away. There is no Dinghai, no imperial court, nothing, just to find you."
In fact, Xue Tingxiang was too tired, no one knew what kind of pressure he was under before. No matter how calm he is, everything is under control, but in fact he is just a kid in his early twenties.
His opponents are none other than the old cunning and cunning who have been in the officialdom for many years. And what about that dream, after all, it wasn't him. Those measurements seemed to be incomparably brilliant, one link after another, but if one made a mistake, they would die without a place to be buried.
So after all the wind and rain, the thing he had been pressing in his heart broke out.
People always like to hurt the people closest to them, all because they know that no matter what, they will not leave them.
Just like Xue Tingxiang in that dream, like him now, and like Zhao'er.
It all comes from the confidence in my heart.
"Zhao'er, I miss you very much."
He was too close to her, so close.
The catharsis of these emotions, this miss, is like a flood that bursts a dyke, coming in the face.
She had no cover and was doused thoroughly.
Zhao'er suddenly stopped moving, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Actually, I miss you too. I originally planned to come back this time. When everything is on track, I will stay at home for a while."
"Really? Zhao'er, do you miss me too?" Xue Tingxiang's eyes suddenly lit up, shining brightly.
Zhao'er was a little surprised by his reaction, but because of his questioning over and over again, he didn't bother to think about it, and nodded. But she nodded, and Xue Tingyan insisted that she say it again, twice, many times.
At the same time, his kiss came like a storm.
It wasn't until the two were intimately bound together that Zhao'er realized that Xue Tingxiang had been beaten with blood. It seemed that every word she said made him very excited.
It was bright outside, and the two of them hadn't woken up yet.
Xiaohong had already come to ask, Zhao'er wanted to talk about it, but was stopped by Xue Tingxiang.
Said to be tired for so many days, today I have to take a good day off.
The two of them just lay on the couch, doing nothing, just lying there.
Xue Tingxiang looked very energetic. He touched Zhaoer's hair, pinched her ears, poked her face, or lay on top of her and kissed her forehead and cheek.
To Zhao'er, it felt like Heizi had just brought him back when he was a child, wagging his tail desperately, and circling around her feet. The slap is bigger, and he likes to hang on her trousers, or lie on her shoes and stop her from going.
"Get up quickly."
"What's the panic?" Xue Tingxiang lay there lazily, not moving.
"Maybe Hong'er will come soon. And my sister, seeing that we are not up, I will definitely ask someone to ask."
Sure enough, before the words fell, Xiaohong came again outside.
"Madam, my aunt sent someone to ask when it's up."
"Look at you, get up quickly." Zhao'er said anxiously.
"What's the panic? Go and tell my aunt, my wife and I will get up in a while."
When Xiaohong outside heard what the master said, she hurriedly replied yes and left.
"Look, this isn't the solution," he said to her proudly.
Zhao'er wanted to cover her face.
It was so shameful that I threw it in front of my sister, and Zhao'er didn't think there was anything.
"You are making a fuss and don't let it go. Today, there are still guests in the mansion. What do you do?"
"Make them wait."
"Then let me sleep for a while, don't make trouble with me." Saying that, Zhao'er went to the bed and wrapped the quilt tightly, lest the ignorant person come to provoke her again.
Zhao'er wrapped the quilt tightly, like a cocoon, not even showing her face, only the top of her hair. She was right. Sure enough, Xue Tingxiang came over after a while. He pulled her quilt and didn't pull it off, so he walked around in front of her again, but unfortunately it was Fading.
Even so, he didn't give up and pulled Zhao'er's face out of the quilt.
Zhao'er closed her eyes tightly, pretending to be asleep, and poked her in the face with his fingertips.
One, two, three or four.
Zhao'er lifted the quilt, opened his eyes and stared at him: "What on earth are you trying to do?"
But looking at his face, I don't know why I remembered last night that he forced her to tell her that she missed him and liked his nonsense. His face immediately turned red, and his voice became weaker at the end.
"I don't want to do anything, what do you want me to do?"
Xue Tiju is acting like a hooligan!
Zhao'er really wanted to rush to the street and shout and let people come and see. Of course, this is only limited to thinking. She really can't do anything about such a rogue man, so she can only beg him softly: "Please let me sleep for a while, I didn't fall asleep last night."
"You sleep with you, I won't recruit you."
Believe you are a ghost!
Why don't someone come and call him away!
Zhao'er was thinking about it when someone came again.
This time it was Geng Qianhu, no, now he has been promoted to commander, and he came to Xue Mansion to find Xue Tingxiang for something.
Commander Geng acted in a hurry, saying that there was something important to discuss.
Seeing this, Xue Tingxiang hurriedly got up and went to see him.
Shuangyu Island was attacked.
Because of the rush to work, after the fifth day of the new year, work started on Shuangyu Island.
The wages are naturally doubled, and the laborers recruited from the county are also willing. In the past, he was recruited by the government for no wages, but now the wages for work are not worse than when he usually goes out to do odd jobs by himself, and anyone is willing to leave it.
Therefore, hurry up and hurry, and now Shuangyu Island has changed a lot.
Rows of houses stand up from the ground, and in the center are shops, which are divided into four areas. There are houses, restaurants, inns, etc. to the outside. There are two warehouses in the warehouse area, one large is in the center of the island, next to the shipping department, and the other is small at the port of the port.
They are all blue bricks and gray tiles. At first glance, it seems that there is a gray city on the island out of thin air.
Naturally, there is a city wall, but unfortunately this city wall project is too large and can only be built slowly by quarrying. According to the current progress, Shuangyu Island could be used before March, but now it has been attacked.
Xue Tingxiang and others had already taken precautions against this, so there were ships patrolling near Shuangyu Island, but this time the other party was too cunning and unexpectedly attacked when no one was prepared. Labour was injured.
"It's a group of people. You can't tell which side is from the clothes. There are not many people, and the boat is also a light boat, so we didn't catch up." After getting on the boat, Commander Geng said with a gloomy face.
While Shibosi was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, Guo Juwei was not idle. Now that Geng Ronghai was promoted to commander, he was naturally like an arm.
Reorganizing the old department, training new recruits, busy in full swing. Geng Ronghai knew what his mission was, which was to assist the Shipbuilding Division to build a port for Dachang to the outside world.
Xue Tingxiang once told him about his idea, and this idea made Geng Ronghai shudder every time he thought about it.
is excited.
If such a grand scene can really be presented, it is the credit of Splashing the sky, and it is not a problem for Fenghou Baijun.
Things have been going very smoothly, who would have thought that something would happen at this time.
"You know how many people's money we have blocked. Why did the imperial court only open this city ship division instead of several, that is, someone in the court stopped it. If we mess up here, those people have more excuses. Block, so you shouldn't be surprised that someone will get in the way."
"Is there some negligence?" Geng Ronghai said with a wry smile.
