Chapter 053 Chapter 53
Wang Dahu continued to talk about the situation at that time. This time, the village chief did not convene a village meeting, but went door to door to lobby.
The village chief knew the people of Xiashi Village best. They loved
their hometown, but it was nothing in the face of absolute interests. He himself was like this. The conditions proposed by Yong Wang were really too generous. Xiashi Village was originally poor, and there were only a few good fields in the whole village that could be counted on one hand. For them, the field was their life.
As long as they moved to another place, they could not only own a better house, but also get their own fields, and no longer have to pay a high price to rent the landlord's fields.
Not surprisingly, Wang Dahu was tempted, and everyone in Xiashi Village except him was tempted.
Yuan Ming listened to his words carefully and memorized them all silently. Ji Qingyue was still here, so he couldn't take out a pen and paper to expose his identity as Brother Jin.
"Except for the twenty taels of silver and two acres of land you got from moving the village, you have nothing. If you don't marry Miss Liu, many families in the town don't need so many betrothal gifts." Yuan Ming said.
Wang Dahu shook his head firmly: "No matter how good others are, they are still others. I only want to marry Miss Liu. Even when I had nothing before, I wanted to try hard, not to mention now that I have the opportunity."
Hearing him say this, Ji Qingyue's expression eased a little, and the look he gave Wang Dahu became much kinder.
"I want to know why you are sure of Sister Ruyan? Sister Ruyan said she has never seen you at all." Ji Qingyue asked.
Wang Dahu scratched his head in embarrassment, and said shyly: "Miss Liu is a famous tofu beauty in the town. She doesn't know me, but I have known her for a long time. Half a year ago, I hunted a deer and went to the wine shop in the town to sell the game, and I happened to see Miss Liu. There were many people on the street at that time. People who were hurrying on their way did not notice that they had tripped over an old lady who was selling wild fruits on the roadside. It was Miss Liu who bent down and helped the old lady up, and also picked up the wild fruits that she had scattered on the ground."
"Just because of this?" Ji Qingyue's tone was picky: "There are so many kind-hearted girls in the world. If you see other girls helping the elderly or others in the future, will you fall in love with someone else?"
"Of course not!" Wang Dahu glanced at Yuan Ming quickly and said, "You two have such a good relationship, I'm sure you can understand my feelings. The reason why I fell in love with Miss Liu because of that little thing is only because she is her. If it were someone else, it would be different."
Ji Qingyue choked. There was really no way to refute this.
He was the same at the beginning. He knew that he and Yuan Ming were not compatible in all aspects, but he still plunged into it and was willing to give up everything for him, just because that person was Yuan Ming, and no one else would work.
After leaving Wang Dahu's house, Ji Qingyue lay on Yuan Ming's back again.
"I think this Wang Dahu is good." Ji Qingyue said.
Yuan Ming hummed.
Ji Qingyue continued, "He has no parents above him. Although it is inconvenient at times, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Sister Ruyan as she will not have the trouble of her parents-in-law. Wang Dahu is tall and strong, and he is a good hunter. He will definitely take good care of Sister Ruyan."
Like Liu Ruyan's family members, he evaluated Wang Dahu from various aspects. Yuan Ming did not think he was unsuitable, and even helped him to choose and talked about it all the way.
Climbing onto the carriage, Ji Qingyue's eyes were very bright: "Tomorrow I will tell Sister Ruyan that Wang Dahu is a reliable person and worthy of trust, so that she can worry less.
Yuan Ming looked at him and did not say yes or no.
After getting along with Yuan Ming for a long time, Ji Qingyue could also taste something else from his silence.
So he asked, "What's the matter? "My husband, do you think I shouldn't tell Sister Ruyan?"
Yuan Ming said, "I know Qingqing and Miss Liu have a good relationship, and I am very worried about her future and fate, so I can understand your idea of telling Miss Liu all this to reassure her. You can say it but don't mix too much personal emotion."
Ji Qingyue was stunned, and her eyes full of water looked at Yuan Ming quietly.
"Okay." Yuan Ming gave up and said it more simply and clearly: "We only met Wang Dahu once, and talked for no more than half an hour. What we learned was very one-sided. I don't want Miss Liu to have more expectations for the future because of your words. "
Ji Qingyue is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, but most of the time he is simple. He doesn't want to think too badly of people, and doesn't want to think too complicatedly about things.
He and Yuan Ming are simply two extremes. Yuan Ming has been calculating every step he has taken and every person he has met since he was a child, trying to get the greatest benefit from it.
Many times he felt that a person who was full of revenge in his previous life would fall in love with Ji Qingyue just because he was too simple.
Ji Qingyue has many qualities that he will never possess.
"My husband means that I only need to tell her everything I see and hear, but not to comment on Wang Dahu. "Ji Qingyue said.
Yuan Ming nodded.
Seeing Ji Qingyue frowning, Yuan Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it, and said softly: "Everyone has many sides. We don't know what Miss Liu and Wang Dahu will become after they get married. I don't want to blame you when their marriage is a mess."
Ji Qingyue subconsciously retorted: "Sister Ruyan is not that kind of person."
Yuan Ming pursed his lips and was about to say something else when he was hugged by Ji Qingyue.
"I know my husband is doing this for my own good. I'm very happy that you think so much about me." He buried his head in Yuan Ming's chest, his voice a little muffled.
"No one has ever taught me these before. Everyone says that I am willful, but in fact no one tells me what to do is right. "
Hearing him say this, Yuan Ming's heart felt like being pierced by needles.
He hugged Ji Qingyue's head tightly and kissed the top of his head with his lips.
"I'll be here for you in the future."
"Yeah." Ji Qingyue closed his eyes and hugged him tighter.
When they returned to Shifang Town, Ji Qingyue had fallen asleep. Seeing the tears in the corners of his eyes, Yuan Ming's heart ached.
He did not wake Ji Qingyue up, but gently held him back to the room.
The next day, Yuan Ming went to the mountain again, bringing his half-written manuscript to King Yong for review.
After reading it, King Yong sighed and said, "As expected of Brother Jin, who became famous all over the country with just one storybook. Just a manuscript makes my heart itchy and I want to read it all in one breath."
Yuan Ming said, "Your Highness, you are kind. ”
As he spoke, he took out another stack of pages from his sleeve and presented it to King Yong.
"This is the version I want to write in Ten Days Easy Reading."
King Yong cast a puzzled look at him, but still took it.
The content of the story written in the two versions is almost the same, but the perspectives are different. The perspective of the former is the imperial guard, and the perspective of the latter is the protagonist of the book Dangerous Guard.
One is a person in a high position, and the other is an ordinary citizen.
They look at problems in completely different ways. Even if it is the same thing, their thoughts and ideas are completely opposite.
King Yong raised his head and looked at him with a complicated expression: "Sometimes I really want to knock open your head to see what's inside."
"Don't scare me, my lord. I'm a coward."
Although he said so, his expression did not change at all, and people could not see any fear at all.
Prince Yong smiled and didn't want to argue with him. He returned both copies of the manuscript to him: "Just write it as you said. Two copies is two copies."
Yuan Ming nodded.
After putting the pages away, he didn't leave in a hurry.
Prince Yong retracted his gaze from the distance and looked at him leisurely: "What's the matter?"
"I'm brave and want to know the process of the negotiation between the prince and Mr. Liu to buy the land." Yuan Ming said: "To write a story from the perspective of a courtier, it is inevitable to describe his psychology. I dare not speculate on the prince's thoughts in vain."
"Bold!" Xiao Wu said in a low voice: "What the prince thinks is not for everyone to know."
Prince Yong raised his hand and pressed it down, indicating Xiao Wu to be patient.
"Since I asked Yuan Ming to write this briefing, there are some things that should not be kept from him."
"What do you want to know? Just ask." Yong Wang said.
Yuan Ming bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
More than an hour later, Yong Wang went to the back room to rest. Yuan Ming still sat in the pavilion, sorting out his scattered notes.
When he saw the words he had written on the paper, his mind was filled with the scene when Yong Wang said these words just now.
