Chapter 041 Canal
Naranzhen, who has a strong personality, seems to reject Lin Zimo's words in his heart. She, who wanted to do something but didn't want to sit down, showed a trace of embarrassment in her expression. When he was in a trough, Yang Mengqi stood up and ordered the maids to bring her a stool and add a bowl and chopsticks. At the same time, he asked her to sit down and finish the meal together with her face and tone.
Nalanzhen, who did not insist again, slowly sat down, stared at Lin Zimo, who was leisurely drinking, and said bluntly, "Since the court intends to build a water conservancy project in Qingyang Prefecture, I hope you can help the people of our tribe build a canal to irrigate good fields, so as to relieve their labor and water. Difficulties."
Lin Zimo, who put down the glass in his hand, lowered his head and looked at her sitting opposite him. In advance, I expected that she had something to find him, but I didn't expect that she would bow her head to ask for help for her people. In his opinion, Nalan should really be cut off and blood, and it is very difficult for her to bow her head and beg for herself. Lin Zimo, who began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind, was not in a hurry to agree. Did he want to know whether this came from her heart, or did Nalan Jianye say it through his daughter?
Nalanzhen, who noticed that he had not made a statement, had already turned upside down and urged eagerly, "Hey, do you agree to build a canal for my tribe?"
"My name is Lin Zimo, not Hello. You can call me husband, husband, or like a girl Chu, or Brother Zimo.
Lin Zimo couldn't help laughing and said, "If you ask for help, you should have the appearance of asking for help and figure out a primary and secondary one. Your tone is completely ordering me to build a canal for your tribe!"
"I'm discussing with you, and I don't mean to instruct or order you." Nalanzhen, who didn't realize that there was something wrong with his speech, forced himself to argue, "I asked Ulan to call you over, but you didn't come, so I could only come over."
Lin Zimo shook his head and saw such a discussion for the first time in his life. The initiative is completely in your own hands, as if you want to make an "alliation under the city" with the other party. Although Nalanzhen's words made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, he did not refuse with enthusiasm. After all, the purpose of supporting Nalan Construction Department was to contain other big tribes in the region.
Lin Zimo, who couldn't decide his head, was first to ask Che Zijin to take people to investigate and make a decision. Although it is only a canal, the complexity of the terrain will increase the cost and construction cycle of the whole project. It is impossible for him to prosper foreigners with the taxes paid by the Han people.
Lin Zimo, who had made up his mind, showed an attitude without hurry and said, "When I send someone to investigate the specific situation in your place, we will discuss it. Today's top priority is that we still have a good meal.
Nalanzhen, who had known for a long time, was bent and did not get a clear answer from him, and his expression showed some displeasure. In her opinion, her nominal father-in-law Lin Zimo was perfunctory. Nalan really knew very well that none of the people of this tribe would do water conservancy projects, so he had to ask him for help.
Yang Mengqi, sitting next to him, looked in his eyes and was anxious. In order to ease the atmosphere in the room, he smiled and said, "Nalan, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Building a new canal is not to buy cabbage on the street, so you still have to leave time for your father-in-law to know some specific information. We women should not have asked him about government affairs. Since his father-in-law has talked to you, it shows that he is still willing to help your people solve the difficulties of water.
Nalan, who turned his head, really looked at her carefully and felt that what she said was reasonable, and her ugly face eased. Only then did I realize that I was indeed a little anxious and ignored that Lin Zimo was a Han Chinese, and she was a Qiang. Suddenly, she stood up, saluted a Qiang and left.
"What does your wife think of this matter?" Lin Zimo, who picked up the chopsticks again, picked up the dishes and asked lightly.
"Although Nalan's sister is from Qiang and lacks the etiquette that my Han women should have, she is still good-hearted." Yang Mengqi, who did not shirk, expressed his opinion: "Since she has married into Lin's house, she should think of her husband's family. She speaks from the standpoint of her mother's family, and her practices and ideas are not desirable.
Lin Zimo felt that his wife was quite measured and smart. He subconsciously glanced at Chu Hanlu, who sat next to him and ate quite happily, and smiled and said, "There are also people who lack etiquette among Han women."
Yang Mengqi, who knew the meaning of her father-in-law, quickly defended the little girl: "The slave family believes that she will gradually get better."
He stretched out his hand to touch Lin Zimo, who was exposed by Chu Han, nodded his head slightly, and deliberately said, "If you enter my door, then you are a family. If the husband decided to build a canal for the Nalan Jianye tribe, it would indeed be beneficial to the growth of their tribe. However, silver and manpower can't be used by the Han family, otherwise it is not easy for me to explain to the superiors and subordinates. Lady, what do you think?
Yang Mengqi, who squeezed his mouth and smiled, filled him with a glass of wine and said, "A woman in the slave family doesn't understand these things and only knows how to take care of the big things in the family. If your father-in-law feels good, then it's excellent."
"You!" I understand that she is Lin Zimo, who deliberately pretends to be stupid. She likes her very much, who follows the philosophy of porcupine without relying on her talent and intelligence, and is willing to become the woman behind her man.
Chu Hanlu, who raised her little head, didn't quite understand what they said and just lowered her head to eat. After dinner, Chu Hanlu, who sat for a while, felt a little bloated, so he wanted to go out for a walk. Yang Mengqi, who noticed that she stroked her stomach back and forth with her hand, smiled and believed that the little girl ate a little more tonight. She talked to the two of them, and then walked out slowly accompanied by her maid Cailian.
Lin Zimo, who accompanied his wife into the inner room, noticed that she was getting bigger and bigger alone and said happily, "In a few months, I can become someone's father in a just name."
Yang Mengqi, who sat slowly on the edge of the bed, remembered the past and laughed and said, "I remember that my husband has a son named Lin Pingzhi. If our children are born, you two will be dozens of years apart. My father-in-law, what do you think of this?
Lin Zimo shook his head, walked to her and noticed that her face not only did not become ugly because of pregnancy, but became more and more charming. He stretched out his right hand and deliberately aroused Yang Mengqi's jaw. He smiled and wanted to flirt with her to punish her. Looking up at her father-in-law, she felt more and more that there was a sense of maturity and stability in his eyes.
Lin Zimo put away his bad smile and said, "Tonight, I won't go to the Chu girl's side, but I'd better stay to talk to you."
Yang Mengqi, who smiled, felt that he had something to say, so she deliberately broke the screen paper and said, "It must be fun for the little girl to stay and talk with the slave family."
"Madam, you are becoming more and more impure, thinking too much in your head." Lin Zimo, with his hands behind his back, said calmly.
"Learn from good people, and naturally learn to be bad people from bad people." Yang Mengqi, who can turn his mind, is articulate.
Hearing that Lin Zimo said that she was a bad person, she threw her sideways and threw her on the bed, trying to be frivolous and impolite. Caixing, who suddenly came in, quickly blindfolded his eyes with his hands and blushed to convey the words sent by Nalan Zhen to Ulan. Yang Mengqi, who was lying flat on **, gently pushed him with his hand to signal not to make trouble again. Lin Zimo, who had no strange feelings, stood up and thought that Nalan was really annoying. He felt that he had made it clear to her, but she wanted a clear answer to herself.
"Fasil, you'd better go and have a look, lest she run over again." Yang Mengqi, who sat down, tidyed up her hair and said with a smile, "Nalan's little sister is deeply in love with you and will never forget it."
Lin Zimo, who could hear the implicit meaning in her words, casually said: "What she remembers is not me, but whether I built a new canal for their tribe."
"It seems that she wants both a canal and a person. She has been in the door for so long, but she has been snold by you. It is inevitable that she will be lonely. Presumably, when she has nothing to do, she will think about what kind of man she has married to? Yang Mengqi firmly believes that he is both literary and martial, and his appearance is outstanding. He can't be charming: "If Nalan girl really has no affection for his father-in-law, she will definitely not come again and again. As the saying goes, it's true that you will fall in love for a long time.
Lin Zimo, who thought his wife was joking, remembered that Nalan was really a woman who dared to shoot three arrows at herself and invited her to a martial arts competition. She would not be as tender as water and clingy as people. If it weren't for his long-term good relationship with Nalan Jianye, she would not be willing to go. After all, she is really not very popular.
"Madam, you take a fragrant bath first. Go back as soon as you go for your husband." Lin Zimo said with a sense, "It's easiest to stay here."
Yang Mengqi, who got up, could hear that he was praising himself, so he walked to him, tidyed up his clothes for him, and smiled, "There are nine kinds of dragons, and all kinds of them are different. What's more, it's a person? If both of them are the same as the slave family, it will definitely make the father-in-law feel boring.
Lin Zimo felt that she was not only good at talking, but also very understanding. She was very satisfied and said, "It's worthy of being Lin Zimo's wife, and she really has the grace to accommodate people."
