Chapter 25
"What about you? Why do you do this?"

"My family was already poor, and later on we couldn't even afford to eat. The rice vat was empty, so my father sold me to a brothel and exchanged a bag of rice for me to take home to support my younger brother and mother. I don't blame them. I only blame myself for having a miserable life and not being reborn into a good family."

After hearing their words, Gou Yue opened her eyes and asked, "Why is everyone's life so miserable? There are constant natural and man-made disasters."

Yaotai said, "It was a man-made disaster in the past few years. When the world becomes a little more peaceful, the people's lives will be stable."

"I heard that the new emperor's literary and military skills are outstanding. They say that he can bring peace to his family and the country, unlike the wax spear-headed King Yan." Lian Yu admired him very much.

What Wen Yuanzhi said about him, Gou Yue couldn't remember for a moment, "Maybe, if I meet him one day, I can see if he is really like this."

Yaotai and Lian Yu couldn't stop laughing together, and the whole shack was filled with their laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

"The emperor has the body of a real dragon and is the lord of the world. He can't just say it when he sees it. It would be an exaggeration for a girl to talk big."

Gou Yue thought the same thing, "But people still have to have dreams, just in case they come true."

"Girl, do you know the difference between dreams and delusions?" Lian He asked.

"Oh, stop teasing me!" Gou Yue pushed her shoulders and scratched her waist, making her laugh even more.

"Hahahahahahaha... I don't dare to laugh anymore!" Lian Yu begged for mercy.

Yaotai said, "Girl, please spare her, hahahahahahaha, look at her laughing so hard that she can't breathe."

After a moment of calm, Gou Yue dozed off.

"Girl, are you sleepy?"

"Okay, there are some."

"Then go to sleep." Yaotai covered her with a quilt.

Lian Yu said reluctantly, "We all talk about us, but you haven't talked about you yet."

"Me?" She was a little confused. "I'm just running around. The family is doing... business. Yes, if they want to run southeast, northwest, or northwest, I will follow them."

"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you if you have a sweetheart."

Gou Yue suddenly became more awake, "Yes."

"Is it Master Ji?" Lian Yu asked.

"Ji Pu? I..." She didn't know how to respond to this sentence, "Let's put it this way, even if a heavy rain tomorrow floods this place, no, the entire country, I will not like Ji Pu. "

"But I think Mr. Ji is sincere and warm, and his smile is like the scorching summer sun. He is the most suitable for girls."

Lian Ju's way of thinking made Gou Yue want to open her head and see what was inside, "Do you just like people like Ji Pu?"

"This..." She nodded.

"Ji Pu is impulsive and can't forgive others. He's as good as my junior brother."

"You still have a younger brother?"

"Yes, his name is Ah Qin. He is running business all over the world and is very busy."

Lian Yu wanted to continue asking, but she heard that the person next to her was asleep. She wanted to call her, but Yaotai stopped her, "She is too tired. She keeps insisting on listening to us. Just tell her to sleep."

Xiangquan is the last place to be managed. It has been a long time to dredge the river, transport stones to reinforce the place, and dig earth and transport sand.

When Lian Ju came to deliver food to Gou Yue, Gou Yue saw that she had brought two portions and asked, "Why did you bring so much?"

She said, "Someone is hunting wild boar on the mountain. This meat is the most fragrant one I roasted. I was afraid that you wouldn't have enough, so I took a little more."

"Did everyone else eat it?"

She pointed to the man resting and eating over there and said, "They all have it. This is yours."

"Master Wen, have you eaten?"

"This...I don't know." She frowned and quickly recovered.

Gou Yue took a plate and said, "I'll get some for him."

Lian Yu stopped her, "You eat first, and then go and give it to him when you are full. I think everyone ate, so he must have eaten too." "This is not necessarily true." Gou Yue said, she had a deep understanding of Wen Yuanzhi. He had some understanding, and the closer he was to the end, the more vigilant he would be. A few days ago, he was seen by her when he went out at night, and he went to measure her all night long.

"Thank you Lianju. I'll go find him first. You can stay for a while and then go back. There is mud everywhere here. Be careful of falling."

"Okay." Lian He said.

Seeing Gou Yue coming over, Ji Pu threw her a steamed bun and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, where is Mr. Xiaowen?"

"Here." He pointed over there.

Gou Yue walked over and saw him looking at the river in a trance, so she slapped him hard and said, "Wen Yuanzhi!"

He was startled and almost lost his footing. Gou Yue took his arm and pulled him back to his feet, "Why did you come here?"

"The work we have there can be finished in two days. When it is finished there, I will come to your side."

He has become thinner, and he has followed the people who are carrying sand and gravel to build rivers. These days, he has been using both his hands and his brain, and it is obvious that he is tired.

This was the third month of river construction. He couldn't eat well or sleep well. Gou Yue was worried. If he really didn't make good changes, it might become a problem for him.

His insistence on water control may have something to do with what Ji Pu said about his father.

She wanted to persuade him to look past everything, but when it came to her words, she felt that it was unnecessary. If he wanted to accomplish this, he would definitely be able to accomplish it, so there was no need to say more.

So she followed his example and looked at the river with her hands behind her back, giving endless instructions.

"What do you want to learn from me?!"

"I think you're awesome, so I'll learn from you! No?"

Wen Yuanzhi laughed. He had not shown a smile for several days. Ji Pu saw him smiling heartily through the crowd, and wondered what the two of them said was interesting.

It is said that Wen Xiang likes silence and dislikes movement. Since the death of that person, it is rare to see his delicate and elegant eyes smiling again. What is more common is that he is cold and inhumane.When she died, she took away all his warmth.

Is it because she looks a bit like that person?Ji Pu thought.

If this is really the case, it is really a bad fate. Gou Yue is trapped in it. If one day a more similar person appears, she will find out that it is a scam.

Gou Yue passed by him, and Ji Pu stopped her.

"What, what are you calling grandma for?"

"I..." He swallowed what he wanted to say, "Please, the road is in the sky, you can go wherever you like."

Gou Yue suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Master Ji, can you lend me some money?"

Ji Pu didn't know what she was borrowing money for, "Why didn't you ask Mr. Wen to borrow it?"

"You look like he's rich?"

Ji Pu rolled his eyes, "I'm much poorer than him, and I don't have much silver in my hand. Asking me to borrow it is like a monkey asking Moon Lake to lend him the moon on the water."

"Oh, can you be a little loyal? In the past few months, we have not slept together, but we have done everything together! Tell me, is this friendship worth 1000 taels of silver?"

After hearing the first half of what she said, Ji Pu nodded. When it reached 1000 taels of silver, his eyes widened and he said, "How many people have you killed, and you have to pay so much silver."

"What are you talking about?"

"You didn't kill anyone, so why do you need so much money?"

"I want to help Miss Yaotai and Miss Lianyu redeem themselves."

Ji Pudao turned out to be like this, "But I have to remind you that just having money is not enough. The law stipulates that for a woman to get rid of her humble status and regain her status as a good family member, she must have a document from the common people to marry or take a concubine. You just have money." This won’t work either.”

Gou Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Thanks for reminding me. I'll think about it later and leave first."

"Hey, no more money?"

"Keep it there for now!"
