It flashed through his mind that he had escorted Xie Miaoxuan all the way to Kyoto, but he had to endure it silently when he was abandoned in the end.
He has a good temper and can tolerate it.
Now that she has changed her course midway, she does whatever she says, and occasionally makes excuses for her when she goes out of her way. She even feels that he is a bit gentle and considerate.
Including the eleven to fifteen years old in my memory, I can extract from my memory that he was steady and restrained in his behavior.
And Xie Xie, as an endorsement, is... pretty and pretty.
In the income room, it seems to be pretty good.
Xie Miaoxuan couldn't help but two pear dimples loomed on her lips, "Do you have someone in mind?"
Nowadays, people get married very early, and it is human nature for young people to Mu Ai. It is true that her father Xie took the lead in her relationship with him. If he had someone else in his heart, he would just endure it silently because of his father Xie's instructions... .She should be a gentleman and let go.
Xie Yuanju was stunned by her sudden question and looked strange for a moment.
"none."
Wonderful, wonderful.
"What do you think of me?" She arched her eyebrows and couldn't help laughing at his innocent look, like a melon seller. "I think you are very good. If you are willing, I will take you into my room."
He turned his face sideways, covered his lips and coughed lightly.
Why did these words sound so familiar? Yes, Zhang Sou had just mentioned it to him during the day.
But now it's the other way around, she wants to take him in.
Xie Miaoxuan's eyebrows were curved, and her watery eyes were slanted with a light of satisfaction, "I had a bad attitude towards you before. It was because my father passed away. I was helpless and was instigated by Grandma Xie, so I gave up. An engagement between you and me. Don’t worry, I won’t do that to you again. If you are willing, can our engagement continue?”
The man's eyes were deep and his expression was as gentle and calm as ever. It was obviously the same face all the time, but there was a hint of nobility that he dared not take lightly.
Although she knew he was good-looking, she had never caught sight of him.
It has always belonged to the stage of pure appreciation by passers-by.
Now, rather than saying that she was attracted to him because of her beauty, it is better to say that she wanted to keep such a useful person tightly by her side.
Troubled times are about to arise. If someone is handsome and good at martial arts, one person can be used for multiple purposes. It is simply a good deal.
Find someone who is more familiar and more reliable than him. Besides, at least I know it’s not true.
It will be easier for her to get along with him if she talks to him.
Xie Yuanju saw her staring at him with green eyes, and he could tell at a glance that she definitely didn't say this because she liked him.
Although she acted like a lustful person who was seduced by beauty, her face was full of undisguised interest, just like she was drooling over a box of gold cakes just now.
However, she has always followed her own temper. In the past, her father Xie always protected her, and even dared to go to the house to reveal the tiles.
In just two days, she changed again. Now she even discarded the girl's arrogance and self-control, which impressed him every moment.
Reason told him to refuse, but he was speechless for a moment, "..."
A few seconds of awkward silence.
Xie Miaoxuan shrugged, as a smart person would tell the truth, but Xie Yuanju did not immediately nod in agreement.
She understood that he was unwilling.
Well, she touched her nose, thinking that he had been treated as a slave before, and it was indeed difficult for her to let go of this grudge just because of a few words.
Forget it, there is no grass anywhere in the world. As long as he can help her avoid Xie's open attack, she won't force him.
He scanned the face of the person across from him again, his eyes seemed to have been washed once more. The spring scene was so intoxicating that he didn't know what to see. Xie Miaoxuan was heartbroken. He really felt that it was a pity and that he was a bit evil.
In fact, if she thinks about it, she will recruit more talents to protect herself in the future. She is ready to win the loyalty of her subordinates and is willing to put in the effort. Why isn't a talent like him worth her extra effort? !
Her flirtatious thoughts that were about to be put away came up again.
There's no need to rush this matter, you can figure it out slowly.
Holding her tongue for a moment, she continued what she said before and asked, "Did you find out any other information in Kyoto?"
Before going out, she specially asked to find out what the people in Kyoto were talking about after dinner, in order to find out the situation in the court. He was so smart, he should not be confused.
"Three days ago, the remonstrating minister Wen Zheng was assassinated and left at home. The emperor has not been in court for three days."
What!
Xie Miao stood up in a whirl, and Hu stool was kicked to the ground.
Wen Zheng is dead! He died three days ago!
Her heart skipped a beat, the troubled times were ahead of schedule...
She remembered that shortly after the death of the admonishment minister Wen Zheng, the emperor would suddenly die suddenly, and then the Taiwei He Dai would support the young emperor. The wide opening of border borders led to the Xiongnu igniting the first flame of war in troubled times.
What followed was a melee between He Dai and Jiedushi. There were countless independent heroes from all over the country, and the heroes were divided. King Shaoyou, who had been hiding for many years, took the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. Half a million private soldiers also joined the melee.
All of this happened six months in advance.
So will those natural and man-made disasters also follow in advance?
Severe drought, plague, mass migration of refugees...
Numerous bones.
Xie Miaoxuan only felt that for a moment, the sky and the earth were spinning, and his eardrums were bulging. The shouts of death and sad cries from a distant place seemed to be transmitted into his mind through a thousand years of time.
It could be half a year in advance, and maybe even further in advance, leaving little time for her to plan slowly.
How could she survive in this chaotic world of cannibalism with hundreds of people in the manor and a team of less than 200 people?
Where should we go? Where is the pure land?
Cold sweat broke down on Yingying's skin.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yuanju's face changed drastically after seeing her for a moment. The red glow faded from his cheeks in an instant, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his whole body was shaky.
The grip on her arm brought Xie Miaoxuan back to her senses. She turned to look at Xie Yuanju who was walking beside her in a daze.
There seemed to be cotton stuck in the throat, "I...it's okay."
Slowly, a determined light shone in her eyes, and her gaze towards him was scorching, "What's the current price of rice in Kyoto? The finer, the better."
Xie Yuanju held up the stool, pressed her shoulders, asked her to sit down, and poured her a cup of warm tea.
Fortunately, she had told him in the morning that she would go among the common people to learn about the topics they were talking about, and he had listened to everything about money, rice, oil and salt.
Then he said, "Brown rice is five cents, coarse flour is eight cents, fine flour is thirty-five cents, salt is fifty cents, and polished rice is thirty cents."
Xie Miaoxuan asked again, "Do you know how much iron, linen, silk, and silk each cost?"
Xie Yuanju has had a photographic memory since he was a child, and he can quickly filter out useful information in his brain, "Ironware is hard to buy, a horse of linen costs 200 cents, silk satin costs 5 taels, and silk cloth costs 1 tael."
After getting the answer, Xie Miaoxuan sat down and began to think.
Her face gradually calmed down, and Xie Yuanju stood quietly aside without disturbing her, his expression also lost in thought.
He poured the tea into her empty cup, clasped her shoulders and held her down before sitting back on the stool. He suddenly said, "Just now, Daniel told me about your handling of the manor affairs today. He was quite in awe of you in his words." , you handled Cao Zhuangtou's affairs very well, you cleaned up the cancer resolutely, and the tribesmen were all ready to camp in the mountains and forests. You took control of the manor in just one day, and you have a big boss on the side who constantly promotes today's victory for you. Now everyone is devoted to you."
"Huh?" Xie Miaoxuan was a little confused. The topic changed so quickly that she almost couldn't keep up.
I don’t know why he suddenly praised her, although it sounded very happy.
"Whatever you feel is right, just do it. All the subordinates are loyal. You don't have to look forward or backward. If the head of the family can protect you, I can protect you too."
"Do you know what I'm going to do, just support me?"
"You want to be able to defend yourself."
Their eyes met in the air.
She saw her slightly pale cheeks from his glazed eyes.
