"Then Mr. Xue thinks, how should floods be controlled in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River?" At this time, Zhao Ruoli already believed that Xue Mu in front of him did have two brushes.
Xue Mu recalled that when he was a student, he had some impressions about the management of the Yellow River.
So he explained: "The reason why there are frequent floods in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is mainly because soil erosion in the middle and upper reaches is too serious."
"Soil erosion?" It was the first time Zhao Ruoli heard such a word and she was a little confused: "What is soil erosion?"
"It is under the action of rain, strong winds or other factors that the local land and mud are destroyed. Most of the sand in the Yellow River comes from the middle and upper reaches." Xue Mu replied.
After hearing this, Zhao Ruoli nodded: "So that's it, then I understand."
"Then how to deal with such soil erosion?" she asked.
Xue Mu gave two words: "Plant trees."
"Planting trees?"
"Yes, just plant trees."
Xue Mu explained: “If the water and soil in the upper reaches can be stabilized, planting trees is the best method.”
Seeing that Zhao Ruoli seemed very interested, he said a few more words: "As for the middle reaches, building dams, dredging rivers, straightening bends, creating flood discharge areas, and regulating water and sand are all possible methods."
"As for the downstream, we need to strengthen the dam. In this way, the risk of flooding will be much smaller."
After hearing this, Zhao Ruoli smiled slightly: "Since Mr. Xue knows this method of water control, there are many words that Zhao Li has never heard of. He must have studied under a certain learned master. I dare to ask Mr. Xue who his teacher is. who?"
Xue Mu shook his head: "I don't have any husband. I just listened to the local elders' stories when I was a child and then thought about it myself. Miss Zhao thinks too highly of me."
"No, no, no, Mr. Xue's talents and learning can definitely be used by the Daqing Dynasty. I wonder if Mr. Xue intends to become an official in the court? My daughter is willing to put in a good word for Mr. Xue in front of her father."
"Thank you, Miss Zhao, for your kindness. I won't do it as an official in the court. After all, I'm used to doing things casually. Once I become an official, I may have a lot of choices." Xue Mu declined tactfully.
"In this case, I won't force my daughter to do anything. I will definitely go back and tell my father about Mr. Xue's water control methods. If my father's urgent need can be solved, I will come to express my gratitude." Zhao Ruoli replied.
"No, no, no, it's just a piece of cake. Besides, what I say may not be right. After all, we have to take into account the local conditions and adapt measures to local conditions." Xue Mu laughed.
When he saw that the time was almost up, he was ready to leave.
"Qing'er, go see Mr. Xue off."
"Yes, miss."
"No need." Xue Mu replied: "I am a rough person, so I don't need so many etiquette. But Miss Zhao is alone outside, so it would be better for her to be accompanied by someone else."
After saying that, he left.
Zhao Ruoli kept looking at the direction Xue Mu was walking and muttered: "According to local conditions, cut the crooked and make the straight."
"interesting."
"Go back to the palace."
After Xue Mu left the teahouse, he walked to Xiao Mansion.
At this time, Xiao Qingyue was leaning on the chair, looking out the window, bored in a daze.
When Xiaodie on the side saw it, she couldn't help but said: "Miss, I see that you are really uncomfortable holding it in. How about I invite Mr. Xue over?"
When Xue Mu was mentioned, Xiao Qingyue immediately came to her senses. She quickly shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Xue must be busy. It's better not to disturb him."
"But, didn't he agree to come here every seventh day? It's already the tenth day, why doesn't he come?" Xiaodie complained.
Xiao Qingyue spoke for Xue Mu: "Maybe he is busy with something, and we can't disturb him."
Xiaodie sighed: "But Miss, you have been in your room all day and night, looking out the window, don't you just hope that Mr. Xue will come?"
Xiao Qingyue immediately blushed and hurriedly faltered: "I don't have it, don't talk nonsense."
"Miss, anyone with a discerning eye can see this." Xiaodie said helplessly: "If Mr. Xue doesn't come again, I feel that you will have unrequited love."
Xiao Qingyue didn't know how to explain, so she finally changed the subject: "Xiaodie, go to the kitchen to get some food, I'm hungry."
"All right."
With that said, Xiaodie left the room.
She was just about to walk to the kitchen in the backyard when she saw her servant leading Xue Mu in this direction.
She immediately went back to the room in surprise.
"Miss! Miss."
Seeing her whirring, Xiao Qingyue frowned and said, "Don't be surprised. What's wrong?!"
"Master Xue is here!" Xiaodie explained quickly.
Xiao Qingyue was very surprised when she heard this.
She stood up immediately, holding up her skirt to take a look outside the room.
But as soon as he took a step, he accidentally missed the step, and his foot suddenly sprained.
"ah"
Xiao Qingyue responded with some pain.
Xiaodie hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
At this time, Xue Mu, led by the servants of Xiao Mansion, arrived outside Xiao Qingyue's room.
Originally, he wanted to wait outside the door, but when he heard the humming inside, he asked, "Miss Xiao, what's wrong?"
After Xiao Qingyue was helped up by Xiaodie, she told her not to mind her feet and signaled for Xue Mu to come in.
Xiaodie immediately came to the door of the room and said to Xue Mu: "Mr. Xue, you are here, come in quickly."
Xue Mu walked in, held his hands and said, "Miss Xiao, I was a little busy the past few days, so I couldn't come to my house to give a lecture to Miss Xiao. I'm really sorry."
Xiao Qingyue was sweating coldly, her mouth slightly pursed.
Apparently the pain in her ankle still prevented her from speaking normally.
She could only pretend to be strong and said: "It doesn't matter."
Xue Mu heard her tone and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Miss Xiao?"
Originally Xiao Qingyue didn't want to tell her about her sprained foot, but Xiaodie on the side was quick to speak and said it all at once: "Mr. I missed the step and sprained my foot."
"Xiaodie!" Xiao Qingyue pretended to be serious and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you shouldn't."
"That's right," Xiaodie muttered, "Mr. Xue hasn't been here these days, but Miss Xue really wants to study."
After hearing this, Xue Mu smiled awkwardly: "I'm really busy these days, there are a lot of cases."
Xiao Qingyue quickly comforted him: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Xue, as a Qianhu member of the Divine Catcher Division, naturally has to do things for the imperial court."
Listening to her tone, Xue Mu knew that the pain must be serious, so he said to Xiaodie: "Xiaodie, go get cold water and a towel."
"Yes, Mr. Xue." After saying that, Xiaodie ran out quickly.
Xiao Qingyue asked in confusion: "What happened to Mr. Xue? What do you want these for?"
"If your sprained foot is sprained, you should apply ice to it." Xue Mu replied: "You can apply ice to your sprained foot while it's not long now, and it will feel better. If you apply hot water to your foot tomorrow, it won't be so painful." ”
"So that's it." Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but admire: "Master Xue is not only talented, but he can even be so detailed in his daily life."
"Practice makes perfect." Xue Mu smiled.
Not long after, Xiaodie brought the basin and cloth.
She asked Xue Mu: "Mr. Xue, do you want to take off the lady's shoes?"
"Yes."
Xiaodie took off Xiao Qingyue's shoes.
In Xue Mu's vision, a pair of small feet appeared in front of him.
Judging from this shape, they are simply the little feet of a typical beauty.
Then, Xue Mu squatted down.
At this time, Xiao Qingyue was a little nervous.
In fact, she was a little shy at first.
After all, taking off one's shoes in front of a man and exposing one's feet was strictly forbidden in the Daqing Dynasty.
Looking at the feet means two consequences.
Either the woman has to commit herself to him.
Either the man died.
There are only two methods.
Xiao Qingyue was naturally unwilling to let Xue Mu die, but she hinted in her heart that since his eyes could not see, to a certain extent, this bad habit should not count.
So Xiao Qingyue asked Xue Mu: "What's wrong with Mr. Xue?"
"I'll give you a massage to relieve your foot injury." Xue Mu replied.
Xiaodie looked like a wolf on the side. She was very excited and wanted to see her young lady being touched.
But how could Xiao Qingyue let Xiaodie get her wish.
She blushed and looked at Xiaodie and said, "Xiaodie, please go out first."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie said to her in an almost pleading tone: "Miss~~"
"go out."
Xiaodie had no choice but to go out obediently.
After closing the door, Xiao Qingyue felt better. After all, no one was prying at her.
But she was still a little nervous when she thought that Xue Mu would press her feet later.
After all, growing up, the only man she interacted with on a daily basis in her life was his father.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyue's little feet couldn't help but curl up.
Xue Mu slowly stretched out his hand and first touched the basin.
Then he put his hand in again.
Water ice is cool, which is a good way to relieve pain for sprained feet.
But he tested it and found that Xiao Qingyue's feet had not been touched.
So he asked: "Miss Xiao, is this basin very big?"
"No, it's not." Xiao Qingyue was a little embarrassed.
"That must be because Miss Xiao's feet are too small." Xue Mu also joked.
Xiao Qingyue knew that he was teasing her, so she had no choice but to move forward slightly.
Finally, Xue Mu touched her little feet.
I have to say, these little feet are very slippery and tender.
Grab it in your hand and even play with it for a while.
Of course, Xue Mu would not do this.
After all, he was a gentleman in front of Xiao Qingyue.
Xue Mu pressed it and asked, "Does this hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"What about here?"
"It doesn't hurt either."
It wasn't until Xue Mu touched her ankle that Xiao Qingyue snorted.
"I'll rub it for you now. If you feel pain, just tell me." Xue Mu explained.
Xiao Qingyue responded: "Okay."
So Xue Mu started his "blind massage".
To say that this trick is really good, at least Xu Ruyan, Leng Mei and Nangong Xue have been massaged by him.
Now with the addition of Xiao Qingyue, it can be regarded as a table of mahjong.
During the massage, Xiao Qingyue looked at Xue Mu's face.
I have to say, this looks really good.
He also looks very handsome while giving a serious massage.
Coupled with the talents and knowledge he displayed in his daily life, Xiao Qingyue felt that if he had not suffered from eye disease, he would have become a figure that made countless women crazy in the Daqing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Qingyue didn't know what happened to herself.
Is this like it?
Is this the love expressed in the storybook?
But
The Xue Mu in front of him is the man that his good sister Xu Ruyan likes.
And they are already together.
Wouldn't it be unethical if I stepped in halfway?
For a moment, Xiao Qingyue also fell into distress.
Now it seems that she really likes Xue Mu.
But I don’t know if I can pass the test in my heart.
Looking at his hands touching his little feet, although his ankles were still a little painful, there was a tingling feeling.
Just when she was distracted, Xue Mu asked: "Miss Xiao, what do you think? Are you feeling better now?"
Xiao Qingyue nodded quickly: "Much better, thank you Mr. Xue."
"You're welcome." Xue Mu immediately warned: "Wait until this point tomorrow and apply hot water on it. It will feel better in a few days."
"Okay." Xiao Qingyue looked at him, her face turned slightly red, and she planned to change the topic: "By the way, Mr. Xue, do you know that the book "Dream of Red Mansions" is very popular recently?"
Xue Mu said deliberately: "I wonder what the main topic is?"
When Xiao Qingyue saw that Xue Mu didn't know about this book, she was happy to learn more about it with him.
While Xue Mu listened, he asked some common questions from time to time.
Xiao Qingyue was also able to answer questions fluently based on the content in the book.
This also made Xue Mu couldn't help but sigh, this Xiao Qingyue is really obsessed with dialogue.
I saw Xiao Qingyue sighing: "The author of "A Dream of Red Mansions" feels the same as Mr. Xue."
After saying that, she looked at Xue Mu's reaction.
Want to observe.
Because she always felt that the only person who could write "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" was Xue Mu.
It is impossible to find another talented person like this in the whole of Daqing.
Xue Mu smiled and said, "Why are you like me?"
"The stories Mr. Xue tells in daily life are similar to those of the people who wrote "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "A Dream of Red Mansions."" Xiao Qingyue explained.
Xue Mu said calmly: "This proves that we have a lot of talents in Daqing."
Xiao Qingyue saw that he still refused to reveal his true identity, and she did not expose him.
As long as she firmly believed that the person who wrote these two stories was Xue Mu, that would be fine.
"Mr. Xue, how about I read you the poem I wrote recently?"
Xiao Qingyue planned to read the poem she had written recently to Xue Mu.
"good."
Just as she was getting ready, the water stains beside the basin overflowed.
The ground was a little slippery.
It turned out that Xiao Qingyue had a sprained foot and had difficulty moving.
As soon as he landed, he immediately lost his center of gravity.
Falling in the direction of Xue Mu.
Based on his vision, Xue Mu immediately reached out and hugged her.
This is close to the plot of a Mary Sue idol drama, and it happened at this moment.
But what was different from the fantasy was that because Xue Mu could not see clearly, he could only judge Xiao Qingyue's position through thermal imaging.
so.
His hands were in places they shouldn't be.
For a moment, everything became quiet.
Extraordinarily peaceful.
