Chapter 76 What is Acting Within One's Capacity?
Because of this, he was even more grateful that he had chosen to come to Yongcheng. Not only did he make a group of friends, but he also met such a good person as the Queen Mother.
The two of them were talking happily. Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang couldn't help but be dazed.
The aristocratic education he received since childhood made him never think that he needed to farm, let alone that there was a group of people who could have enough food and clothing, but were willing to bend down for the common people who were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the nobles, and spend all day with the loess.
Zhang Liang was surprised and at the same time he couldn't help but admire them.
Most people in the world live for fame and fortune, but there are always some people who have the world in their hearts.
Zhao Yuanxi was puzzled as she saw him working even harder. Could it be that he was still angry with her? This guy was quite stubborn!
Zhang Liang worked hard because he felt something in his heart, and was labeled as a stubborn person by Zhao Yuanxi.
The sun was almost overhead, and Zhao Yuanxi was about to go back to rest. Seeing Zhang Liang still busy, he was about to call him back when he saw him stagger and fall down.
!!!
Xu Yi was closest to him and immediately went forward to check on him.
"Empress Dowager, he's been burned out!"
Sunstroke is also known as heatstroke.
Xu Yi worked in the fields all year round and was accustomed to this kind of situation. Although the weather was hot now, it was not to the limit of his endurance, which was why he did not notice that something was wrong with Zhang Liang.
He quickly moved Zhang Liang to the pavilion, tore a piece of cloth, dipped it in the pool water next to him, and wiped his neck. Zhao Yuanxi plucked a lotus leaf and fanned him.
Xu Yi wanted to unbutton Zhang Liang's clothes and wipe his body.
Zhang Liang, who had just woken up, was so frightened that he was completely alert. He grabbed his collar, his face red as if it was about to bleed, and said in a panic, "No need! I'm fine!"
Xu Yi made sure that he was really fine, then handed him a wet cloth and let him wash his face himself.
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the young man squatting by the pool, reluctant to get up, with his ears red, and couldn't help laughing.
He can eat and fight, and he can explode at the touch of a button, and his skin is crispy. This is really different from the Zhang Liang that Zhao Yuanxi knew from literary works before. However, based on his performance in his first time farming, Zhao Yuanxi tentatively recognized his perseverance.
"It's time to go back." Zhao Yuanxi reminded.
"Oh!" Zhang Liang hung his head, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy.
Seeing his listless appearance, Zhao Yuanxi consoled him, "Xu Yi and I are already used to this kind of environment. You've been working here for so long since it was your first time here, and you've done quite well."
Zhang Liang moved his ears but still said nothing.
"And you should tell me earlier when you feel unwell, and know to rest when you are tired." Zhao Yuanxi stopped and said seriously.
"I understand." Zhang Liang listened to the lecture obediently. What he didn't say was that the Queen Mother's tone of voice was too much like his mother's.
However, Zhang Liang felt that he might be crazy to regard the Queen Mother of Qin as his mother.
Zhao Yuanxi added: "From now on, you should stay by my side!"
"I don't have to farm anymore?" Zhang Liang's eyes lit up. Although he admired the Queen Mother and others, after this incident, he felt that he might never forget this sad day in his life.
"You wish. When I come to work, you have to come too, but you don't have to come every day."
But she still has to take care of the fragile boy, otherwise if he dies accidentally, where will she find another person like him?
It would be better for him to follow Xu Yi! At least Xu Yi is easy to talk to. Following the Queen Mother, Zhang Liang feels that his future will become more and more difficult.
He couldn't sleep at night. Every time he moved his arms, his hands would ache severely and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Zhang Liang lay on the bed looking at the moonlight outside, and couldn't help sighing. He didn't know how his mother and uncle were doing.
The King of Qin was determined to conquer Han. What other ways could he use to save Han?
Zhang Liang's eyes were dark, and there was an incomprehensible coldness in them.
There was a knock on the door.
Zhang Liang was puzzled. He lit a candle and opened the door. "Brother Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Yi was a little embarrassed, "Is it convenient to come in?"
Zhang Liang stepped aside to let Xu Yi in.
"I saw you had quite a few more wounds on your body during the day. This is your first time doing this kind of work, so it's inevitable that you'll feel a lot of discomfort. This is the ointment I personally mixed. It's very effective for these external injuries. If you don't mind, please accept it."
The bottle was sealed with a cork and still emitted a strong medicinal smell, which must have been made not long ago.
Zhang Liang pursed his lips slightly, his long eyelashes trembling, and accepted the medicine bottle, "Thank you, Brother Xu."
"Don't thank me. The Queen Mother handed you over to me, and it's my fault for not taking good care of you." Xu Yi felt a little guilty. Fortunately, nothing happened to Zhang Liang today, otherwise he would not be able to forgive himself.
"Brother Xu, why do you say that?" Zhang Liang said in panic. "If you're worried like this, it's my fault. Although I'm not very active, I still have some strength. Today's situation was entirely due to my own negligence. Brother Xu, you look down on me like this, and you're also looking down on me."
Xu Yi stood up quickly, his expression very serious. "I have no intention of looking down on you. I am much older than you and have more experience. I should have considered many things more carefully."
The two men agreed that it was their fault and woke up Zou Heng, who lived next door to Zhang Liang.
Zou Heng stood at Zhang Liang's door with a gloomy face. "How about you each kowtow to each other and apologize?"
Seeing that the two were silent, Zou Heng snorted, "Stop arguing? Then go to bed!"
Xu Yi was a little afraid of Zou Heng. Every time he heard him scold Ling Yin, he was very blunt, which made people feel nervous and frightened. It was only because Ling Yin was thick-skinned, otherwise he would have run away long ago.
However, although Zou Heng spoke bluntly, he did not mean any harm. After being interrupted by him, Xu Yi's guilt was somewhat alleviated.
After assuring Zou Heng that he would not disturb him again, Xu Yi looked at Zhang Liang again and encouraged him, "Then rest early, my dear brother. You will work hard with the Queen Mother tomorrow!"
In fact, Zhang Liang had no confidence at all about being with the Queen Mother. Except for the first bad encounter, every contact between Zhang Liang and the Queen Mother did not end well.
But now, he had a reason to get close to the Queen Mother.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Xu, what kind of person is the Queen Mother?"
"Don't worry! The Queen Mother is a good person and won't make things difficult for you. As long as you work hard, the Queen Mother will not treat you unfairly."
If it was before today, Zhang Liang would have just scoffed at this, but now——
Zhang Liang frowned and thanked Xu Yi solemnly.
On the second day, Zhang Liang entered the Liyang Palace on time. Zhao Yuanxi was sorting out experimental data. When he saw him coming, he asked him to wait on the side.
"There are some books on the shelf. You can read them if you are bored."
Zhang Liang casually pulled out a book with a slightly strange cover.
With a click, the originally open pages of the book were immediately closed.
