She is still a woman with picturesque features.
She is still a maid who is as good as a potato.
When Chu Qing arrived at Zhuangzi, Tao Ruolin was sitting on a crooked tree swinging her long legs, which made Chu Qing feel dizzy.
He really couldn't imagine how the Tao family, which had a heirloom of poetry and etiquette, could cultivate such a woman who didn't care about image at all.
Quickly walking into the yard, Chu Qing was disappointed. Although safety pants had not been invented in ancient times, the skirt was too long.
Jumping lightly to the ground, Tao Ruolin still smiled and sat on the stone bench, poured a cup of tea, held it in her hand, and stretched out her arms.
Chu Qing walked over, took the tea, held it in his hand, and shrugged.
"I was knighted, county boy."
"Oh." Tao Ruolin supported her chin with her hands and looked at Chu Qing, as if she wasn't very surprised.
"My fiefdom is in Zhuangzi, the southern suburbs, and I will still have to take care of the refugees in the future."
"That's great. No one will bully the refugees anymore."
Chu Qing shook his head: "I don't know what to do."
This is the truth. On the way here, Chu Qing thought about the difference between doing a good deed once and doing good deeds all the time.
The former can be done by patting the head, gritting one's teeth and stamping one's feet.
But the latter, in addition to responsibility, is more of a risk.
If a person does a good deed, people will praise him.
A person always does good deeds, and people praise him. But one day, this person suddenly stops doing good deeds, or does a bad thing. Then his sins, his faults, and his evil will be worse than that of a person in his whole life.
People who do bad things are more sinful, at least in the eyes of others, because people are used to you doing good things and have already labeled you.
"What don't you understand? Helping the refugees is nothing more than a word."
"money?"
Tao Ruolin smiled sweetly and said, "You can teach me."
Chu Qing smiled bitterly.
It was this word "money" that tortured him for two months.
Chu Qing no longer dared to have the naive dream he had when he "first arrived", to stop being an official and become a merchant, earn a lot of money and become a rich man.
This sentence, thinking about it now, is so ridiculous.
Recently, Chu Qing has been feeling quite useless.
Originally, he thought that as a time traveler, the easiest thing would be to make money.
He can think this way because he is a loser, and in the eyes of a loser, everything he sees is a loser.
The biggest characteristic of diaosi is that they think everything is easy.
Go to the emperor and say that you can increase grain production.
What to use for improvement, potatoes or corn? Do you need a boat to go out to sea to find it?
Go to the Ministry of War and tell them that gunpowder can be researched.
What is the ratio and who will do the experiment?
Opening a restaurant would be even more ridiculous.
Should the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry and the deputy commander of Qianqiying wield a large spoon, or should he find a group of people to teach them how to cook?
Learn how to make wine.
Do you know what koji is? Do you know what a distiller looks like?
Invent the bicycle.
Rubber, chains, steel, iron wire, without a certain industrial base support, even a wheel cannot be invented. Even if it is invented, what kind of road can it run on? After buying it, you can ride it in the palace paved with bricks every day?
Tao Ruolin put away her smile and was very curious: "Why are you frowning? Is it distress? Why are you distressed?"
"I don't know where to start."
Originally, Chu Qing came here to "pick up girls", but sitting in front of Tao Ruolin, he suddenly wanted to say something or share something, but he didn't know what to say or share.
"Let's go for a walk." Chu Qing stood up: "I just want to find someone to chat with."
"OK."
Tao Ruolin also stood up without any hesitation.
Then Fu San and Bi Hua also walked up.
Then, Chu Qing and Tao Ruolin turned around at the same time. The former glared at Fu San fiercely, while the latter kept winking at Bihua.
Bihua was very smart and knew that Tao Ruolin did not want her to be a light bulb.
Fu San should also know, but he pretended not to know, and when he saw Chu Qing walking far away, he followed him from a distance.
Chu Qing and Tao Ruolin walked out of the yard, out of Zhuangzi, and walked side by side along the creek in the northern suburbs.
The clear stream flows along the roadside along the mountain. It is crystal clear and sparkles in the sunlight. Small fish swim happily in the stream. Unknowingly, the towering city behind it gradually blurs.
.
"tired."
Tao Ruolin stopped and stretched.
Chu Qing kicked a pebble away, turned to look at Tao Ruolin, and suddenly felt that his skills were indeed rusty.
In the past, he would have said that he had an orange cat at home that could do backflips, or he would have invited the other person home to appreciate a luminous watch.
But looking at Tao Ruolin's big eyes that seemed to hide a sea of ​​stars, I was so full of dog-licking quotes that I couldn't even utter a single word.
Tao Ruolin saw a red rock platform, sat on it, kicked her legs, and her little boots flew far away, smiling coquettishly.
Chu Qing also sat on it, and the two of them were side by side. For the first time, they were so close. It was natural, as if everything was so natural. There was no etiquette, no relationship between men and women.
Looking at the clear stream, Tao Ruolin swayed her calves and whispered: "If it trickles without being choked, it will eventually become a river."
"Ah?" Chu Qing didn't know why: "What do you mean?"
"Earlier, there were nearly 10,000 refugees in the south of the city, just in the south of the capital city, but I don't know how many there were in other cities and other lower counties. It seemed like a natural disaster, but it was actually a man-made disaster."
Turning her head slightly, Tao Ruolin stared at Chu Qing: "I want...I want you to help the refugees, not only the refugees in the south of the city, but also the refugees from all walks of life, and the refugees all over the world."
Chu Qing was confused and didn't quite understand what Tao Ruolin meant by this sentence. It couldn't be that a village was built outside every city to receive refugees, right?
"I can't do it, and you can't do it either, but I always think about how great it would be if you and I joined forces and gave it a try."
"Rescue the refugees all over the world?" Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister Lin, you are too wild-minded."
"The emperor has awarded you a title, but you are still the deputy commander of Qianqiying and the arithmetic teacher at the Ministry of Revenue. Next, the emperor will conduct a thorough investigation of the world's tax affairs with great fanfare. Don't you understand?"
Chu Qing suddenly realized that he didn't understand clearly, but he still pretended to understand.
"The emperor loves talents and cherishes them. He will always put you in high regard. When you are free, you can go back to the Hubu Yamen Office. Mr. Wei will definitely discuss with you and investigate the Li family. Due to the tax affairs in Xiao County, Qianqi camp is the main one.
You are the deputy commander of Qianqiying, and you are the deputy commander of Qianqiying. You are responsible for investigating all tax affairs in the country.
Naturally, there are fewer of them. They are disaster victims. Disaster victims are caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters. What you want to investigate is taxation and man-made disasters."
Tao Ruolin's eyes gradually brightened, she raised her head and looked at the blue sky: "We should do something."
"Uh..." Chu Qing scratched his forehead: "Yeah."
Chu Qing still didn't understand, and didn't understand what Tao Ruolin meant when she said these meaningless words.
"I knew you would agree." Tao Ruolin smiled again, stretched out her white palm, and waved it in front of Chu Qing.
"what."
"High fives for alliance."
"High-five?"
"Come on, high-five us, let's do something together, maybe it will be remembered forever."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry. Before he could speak, Tao Ruolin grabbed his arm, touched her palm lightly, and started to giggle again. The more she laughed, the happier and more excited she became, her slender legs
