The world is heavy and late

Chapter 299 Rejection
Before the imperial physician came, Xu Zhong was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, but after he came, it was still the same.

Xia Qing helped Xu Zhong do some things intermittently, and did not intervene in the overall planning and management of the whole thing. She had never done this before, and no matter how smart she was, she couldn't learn it overnight.

However, some of her ideas still gave Xu Zhong a lot of inspiration. Xu Zhong is having a headache now. It's okay to be dry for a while, but what he fears is that the drought will continue.

Xia Qing looked at Xu Zhong and looked through the drought management process in many places, but he couldn't find a solution, and even went out for two days without finding a good solution.

She looked at Xu Zhong who was a little tanned and sighed, "What's wrong with you now?"

Xu Zhong has been running around day and night for the past few days, feeling extremely sleepy. He squeezed his brows and pondered a little: "I went to visit several counties where the drought is very severe. Although the main reason is that there has been no rain for several months, I found that , After there was no rain, their subsequent irrigation remedial efforts were not carried out."

Xia Qing raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you want to build water conservancy?"

Xu Zhong raised his eyes and smiled, who wouldn't be happy for such a tacit understanding?
Seeing Xu Zhong's smile, Xia Qing was a little moved, and no matter how tired Xu Zhong was, she ran up and sat in Xu Zhong's arms with his neck still on his shoulders, and said, "You haven't laughed for a long time."

Xu Zhong was a little helpless, but he didn't stretch out his hand to push him away. He even wrapped his arms around the person like he was helping others, and was careful not to fall off his body.

"Stop making trouble. I am really worried about this matter. There is not much money in Xuzhou City, and it is probably inappropriate to serve at this time. The epidemic has just passed, and the population is declining..."

Xu Zhong sighed while talking, Xia Qing thought for a while and said, "Actually, these two things are not difficult for you."

"Haven't you been serving porridge?"

"Isn't it okay to just suffer from work now?"

Xu Zhong's thoughts stopped for a moment. This idea was very absurd when he first heard it. Over the years, there has never been a precedent for people to receive food only after they have worked hard. But after thinking about it carefully, it is not so slippery Daji.

Even his thoughts were more divergent, and he was closer to the current situation in Xuzhou. He thought for a while and said: "It's still called the issuance of a service order. The rich households in the city must use silver as their service. Although the money is small, it can also receive part of it."

"There are no restrictions on men, women and children in other families, but old and weak women eat eight points of food, young and hardworking people get ten points of food, and those who are particularly outstanding can get a small handful of food every day, so that people who are bedridden at home can also live. As for..."

Before Xu Zhong finished speaking, Shen Changfeng had already strode in: "Master Xu, I heard..."

Seeing the posture of the two of them unexpectedly, he staggered in fright, and wanted to turn around and leave, but Xu Zhong's ears were already burning red, and he stretched out his hand to push Xia Qing who was still sitting on his lap.

Xia Qing rolled his eyes, stood up reluctantly and said: "I heard it all, so why avoid it?"

Xu Zhong closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he looked dignified and steady again. Shen Changfeng also stopped in embarrassment, and carefully turned his head slightly first, only to fully turn around when he saw that the two had indeed separated.

Although a little uncomfortable with the same hands and feet, he is still very calm, and he can be regarded as someone who has seen a big scene.

Xia Qing looked at the two sanctimonious men and sneered before turning around and going out the door.

Really, what's all the fuss about.

Xu Zhong and Shen Changfeng: ...

Xia Qing didn't listen to Xu Zhong and Shen Changfeng talking about serious matters because she had more important things to do. She had already found out Mu Tingnan's address. Mu Tingnan was the first person in the restricted area to be cured by the imperial physician.

Because he looks the oldest. After all, many people who were sick at his age died long ago. Some may be abandoned by their children, some may be because they don’t want to drag others down, and some are peasants in the countryside. very good.

And Mu Tingnan has been following Huai'an to serve him up and down, so he is naturally much better than those people.

Moreover, Mu Tingnan still held a very high status in the eyes of patients, and many people were willing to let it go, because it was only a matter of one person, and it took less than a quarter of an hour.

So Mu Tingnan recovered very quickly, it took about half a month, this is already the result of his old age, after all, some young people are almost healed in less than ten years.

When Xia Qing asked for an interview, Mu Tingnan didn't seem very surprised, but calmly said to Huai'an, "Master's health has just recovered, and I'm afraid of infecting Mrs. Xu, so it's inconvenient to see guests."

When Xia Qing heard it, he smiled and said: "It's okay, Xia Qing sincerely asks to see you, admires Mr.'s character, and please let me know."

After saying that, Huai'an gave a deep bow, and was at a loss for what to do with the sound of the young master and the actions, so he had to coddle and go in again for Xia Qing.

Mu Tingnan sighed slightly after hearing this, and then said in silence for a while: "Forget it, I don't know whether I should see her as a teacher, so I just follow the fate. Since she is here, I will meet her as a teacher."

Xia Qing was able to enter, but she didn't feel much relieved. She knew that she was probably not very popular as soon as she walked through it.

Taking a deep breath, closing his eyes and bowing to the person in front of him, Mu Tingnan had a calm smile on his lips, but it was not as gentle as that night on the high platform.

He also leaned forward for a moment and said, "I don't know why Mrs. Xu came here?"

Xia Qing was silent for a moment, and all the plans in his mind to get close before talking were all rejected one by one, and he directly explained his intention.

From the time Xia Qing saw Mu Tingnan that night, he felt that he was very suitable. Later, after inquiring, she found out that this was Mr. Mu from Yunzhou. Acting together is precisely because of this matter.

After Xia Qing finished speaking succinctly and respectfully, Mu Tingnan just smiled and said, "I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Although she had expected it a long time ago, Xia Qing was still a little disappointed, thinking that she knew that the person in front of her might not be rejecting him because of the academy's affairs, but the real reason for the rejection was her.

She was silent for a while and said: "Actually, sir, there is no need to refuse in a hurry. Sir, you are here to seek the morality in your heart. Now that you have this good opportunity, why don't you practice it yourself? Since you have stepped out of the boundary of Yunzhou, you want to feel everything. , the only one in the world might not be able to help Mr. achieve great success."

Mu Tingnan raised his head and took a deep look at Xia Qing, then shook his head and said, "Mrs. Get whatever you want.”

Xia Qing was a little confused by Mu Tingnan's words. Does this mean that she is mercenary?

She raised her head and asked with complicated thoughts: "Mr. is because of my concubine status, so why did you reject him?"

Mu Tingnan actually thought about it, and said with a smile: "If you think about it, it's true."

Xia Qing didn't know how to react for a while. In fact, when she first came here, she was still a little excited. At the moment when Mu Tingnan sat there preaching on the high platform, Xia Qing felt that she had found the so-called The most suitable person.

Now people who are admired say that they are only looking for profit, which is somewhat uncomfortable.

She lowered her head and took a sip of water. For the first time, she didn't have the confidence she had in previous negotiations. She calmed down and was about to raise her head when she heard voices from outside.

"Student Xu Zhong, come to pay your respects to Mr. Wang, and hope Mr. Wang will give you his face."

Xia Qing didn't know why his nose felt sore all of a sudden, and Xu Zhong felt a little hurt outside the door.

After sending Shen Changfeng away, he found that Xia Qing was not in the mansion, so he asked all the way and came over, but when he heard such words outside the door, Xu Zhong couldn't help but speak.

Huai'an behind Mu Tingnan carefully glanced at the master who seemed to be not very gentle today, and asked in a low voice: "Master?"

Mu Tingnan nodded with a faint smile, and Huai An hurriedly lowered his head to open the door.

Xu Zhong saw Xia Qing who was sitting opposite Mu Tingnan at a glance, his lips were slightly pursed, his eyes were also wide open, there was a little water in his eyes, but he held back and did not lose his composure.

Xu Zhong's throat rolled, he stepped forward to salute Mu Tingnan and sat down.

The three of them fell silent again.
