This mountain is mine

Chapter 98 Miaomiao's gift

When Yu Miaomiao woke up, it was already dark outside.She rubbed her eyes in a daze, and was at a loss for a moment, unable to tell whether it was early or late.

Faint voices could be heard from outside the room, Yu Miaomiao moved her body, feeling as if she was going to be scrapped, she cursed Zhao Man inwardly, put on her clothes with her arms around her waist, got up, combed her hair, got dressed properly, and You want to open the door and hear Doctor Qiu's voice.

"...Words have already arrived. He said that this matter will be done as soon as possible. The road has been paved for him. If this can't be done, Fangling deserves to die of old age... Xiao Yuantu said he would find time to visit in person, but I pushed it away. There will be opportunities to meet in the future.”

"Ah."

"Your injury will take two days to recuperate. You feel nothing when you are young now, but you will suffer later."

"I see... I will pay attention."

"What about Yu Miaomiao, how did she take care of you? Nothing is more important than you, but she has not been seen yet. I have something to tell her. You are injured and cannot eat some things. Also, this arm is also Don't get wet..."

Yu Miaomiao paused when she opened the door, and waited for the old man to leave before going out.Listen to the voice, it should be about the same now.

Through the crack of the door, I happened to see Zhao Man's face. He glanced at this side without any trace, and his gaze was fixed in the narrow gap. Yu Miaomiao glared at him. She...is nothing more important than me."

Yu Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him, but he calmly looked away.

After finishing everything, Dr. Qiu stood up on his own initiative, took his leave and left. Before leaving, he confessed: "You were a little angry a few days ago, and I took two doses of medicine..." Dr. Qiu said and looked at Zhao Man's body. His complexion, although his shoulder is injured today, seems to be much better, the red blood in his eyes has faded a lot, and he looks refreshed.

He cleared his throat in embarrassment, and put away the medicine bag he just took out: "Forget it, you don't need this medicine anymore."

After Dr. Qiu left, Yu Miaomiao came out holding her own waist, and she knew her walking posture without anyone telling her.

Zhao Man looked at her and squinted his eyes. There was no reason why he didn't understand, but he was the one who contributed yesterday, and this woman didn't do anything, she just whimpered a few times. In the ground army, how does it look like after running twenty miles?Even if there is a difference between men and women, he was only six years old at that time, and she is 16 years old today.

Zhao Man commented solemnly: "The body is too weak."

Yu Miaomiao glared at him angrily, is this what a normal man should say to a woman after a night of tenderness?
Zhao Man continued to draw conclusions seriously, "The more you train, the better."

He was also in poor health before, and it was only after 20 years of training on the battlefield that he developed his physique like a fortified wall.

Of course, his woman doesn't need to be like him, but she can't be so weak. This has completely affected today's normal life. If she is asked to do something, she will fall asleep today.

Yu Miaomiao suddenly felt a sore arm, and gave him a weak look. If he hadn't been too serious, she almost thought that this guy would tell jokes, or dirty jokes.

"Zhao Man, you..." Yu Miaomiao was speechless, and comforted herself silently. He really just didn't understand women and had no experience, so he couldn't be blamed.

Seeing that Yu Miaomiao had no objection, Zhao Man quickly ended this topic and started to talk about another matter.

"Today is your birthday, I have something to give you."

"Oh?" Yu Miaomiao cheered up, this was the first time she received a gift from the opposite sex, especially her husband, she was still looking forward to it.Blinking his eyes, he looked at Zhao Man brightly, "What is it?"

Where Yu Miaomiao couldn't see, Zhao Man's ears turned red, "I know women like jewellery, utensils and antiques, silk and satin..." When they were in the palace, every concubine's birthday, the officials used these Give something to show favor.

Yu Miaomiao said "Yes", these things are good things, and she loves them very much. She looked around the house, it was empty, and there was not one or two more boxes, "Where are they?"

Zhao Man was embarrassed for a moment, cleared his throat and said, "I can't give you these things now..."

He has robbed a lot of things now. Of course ordinary treasures can be obtained, but it is extremely difficult to buy rare treasures. Only rich and powerful families can have rare treasures. As a border guard, he has not received many rewards. To support a group of people... It has long been replaced by money to buy food.

"Oh." Yu Miaomiao waited for his next words.

"In the future, I will definitely compensate you."

"Ah."

"Now, this is for you." Zhao Man took out a piece of paper from his arms.

Yu Miaomiao took it over, "What... ah, you really bought those mines?" These earth mines are not very eye-catching in this dynasty, and no one cares about them. Unlike metal mines, they can be sold to private individuals. Yes, if it is a metal mine, it must belong to the imperial court and be mined by the imperial court.

Zhao Man nodded without guilt, "These are all yours, and you can mine them anytime."

It wasn't bought by him either, it was given by someone else without spending any money.

Yesterday he threw the two dead Xixia people into the side yard of Lian's family who made bath beans. Once Lian's family knew that the people who cooperated with him in mining these useless mines were from Xixia, how could they be bothered? If you dare to contaminate this soil mine, you will sell it immediately.

If someone bought it and sent it clean, it would not cause him any trouble, so there is no reason for him not to accept it.

Yu Miaomiao didn't know that the mine had changed owners once during the period, so she said with some regret: "This kind of wilderness and wilderness has to be bought with money." But it's worth it.

She was so happy with this gift that she even bought several hills around the bentonite mine.Although this piece of mountain is not good for planting, the earth and rocks on the mountain are treasures.

"Did you send someone to buy it? Someone delivered it today? The speed is really fast." Yu Miaomiao said happily.

"It's not too fast, it's almost dark already." Zhao Man said lightly.

Only then did Yu Miaomiao look at the sky, she actually slept all day, "We bought earth mines and exploited them aggressively, will it be too high-profile and make people suspicious? It would be bad if we let people know where you are staying."

"Don't worry, no one knows that you are the owner behind the scenes, and someone is standing in front."

Seeing Yu Miaomiao's suspicion, Zhao Man explained a few more words, "The Xiao family is standing in front."

"The Xiao family?" Where did this come from, Yu Miaomiao thought for a while, "Could it be the Xiao family? The Xiao family whose surname Zhao was stripped?"

Zhao Man nodded, "That's the Xiao family."

Fangling has two princes surnamed Zhao who were exiled, one is Zhao Man, and the other is Taizu and Taizong's brother a hundred years ago, Zhao Tingmei, king of Wei, was exiled to Fangling for treason, stripped of his surname, and was not allowed to leave for life Fangling, the traditional form of Zhao is "Zhao". You are not allowed to go out of Fangling, go to "Zou" and change your surname to "Xiao".

This Xiao family lineage is worse than all the exiles in this dynasty. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Fangling has the most emperors and royal relatives of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms exiled here. These are more or less enmity with the Song Dynasty. Well, when the Xiao family was exiled, it was still at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty. At that time, the resentment of the emperors of the Five Dynasties had not disappeared, and their hearts had not been smoothed out. This Xiao family was the brother of Song Taizu, so he naturally became a punching bag.

Besides, the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty gave up on him. It is not a gentleman to take revenge if there is a grudge. Everyone has the same hatred and attacked the Xiao family repeatedly. Under such circumstances, the Xiao family has also survived, but it is more difficult than ordinary people.

Yu Miaomiao looked at Zhao Man, "Do you want to identify relatives?"

Zhao Man said indifferently: "It's all about benefits."

Having said that, Yu Miaomiao also understands that in the 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty, eight emperors have changed, and the same root 100 years ago, it is really unnecessary to have relatives now.

At this time, the amnesty, the Xiao family is not included in the amnesty.People at the end of the road, what are you afraid of, the Xiao family is in this situation, as long as they are given a glimmer of hope, they are willing to fight and gamble, otherwise, if this continues, they will disappear in Fangling.

So they are willing to be used by Zhao Man. Even if they can't get out of Fangling, Zhao Man's influence in Fangling is not small now, at least someone will take care of them, and their life will not be worse than before.

"What did you promise the Xiao family?" Yu Miaomiao asked.

"The county magistrates in Zhuxi County, whether they can sit still or not depends on their abilities."

Yu Miaomiao nodded to show that she understood, and she didn't ask any more questions, she just said: "Then I will recruit people to open the mine tomorrow, and there must be no further delay. Once the hills here are plowed, they will be used. Time is fast." A little bit, you can plant a season of beans to raise the land."

"I'll recruit you for the manpower, and I won't delay your business."

Zhao Man's gift, Yu Miaomiao accepted it, and it was considered to be what he liked. Seeing her happy, Zhao Man was also relieved, and to please a woman, he did it for the first time, and it was a success.

This day, I ate three meals together into one meal. When night fell, Yu Miaomiao supported her sore body and fell on the bed before discussing with Zhao Man: "When I feel better, I will go to Zhuxi County to see." Industry, she wants to inspect it personally.

Zhao Man agreed without hesitation, and he also went to Zhuxi to have a look, so Zhao Man stripped Yu Miaomiao clean again.

"No, if this continues, I won't be able to go out for a few days, and my mother and mother-in-law will be back tomorrow, so it's not ashamed..."

Zhao Man said confidently: "Persisting up the pain and persisting in training, the pain can be relieved in three days. If you lie down and wait for it to recover on its own, it can't be relieved in seven days. I have experience in this."

Yu Miaomiao was really going to die of anger, "You still have to be shameless, you can't think about me a little bit, it really hurts..."

The aggrieved appearance made Zhao Man stop.

"Backache is the next best thing. It hurts more there, not soreness, so I can't get rid of it even if I keep training. If it bleeds, it won't get better."

Zhao Man looked at her legs involuntarily, saw the redness and swelling, his eyes tightened, and when he put it down, he patted her head again, this is the only way he could silently express his flattery .

He himself didn't know, he who only shouted to charge forward, and only sneered and plotted, his voice was low and deep, not like him.

"Sleep..." He won't apologize, but that's probably what he meant in practice.

Yu Miaomiao felt that she was a masochist, obviously letting her go was what he should do, but he didn't say anything about his rare compromise, but she felt very useful in her heart.

She buried herself in front of Zhao Man's chest, listening to his heartbeat, and letting him slowly touch her hair, her back, and massage her waist. She fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind, even the corner of her mouth The arc seems to have deepened a bit.

For several days, Yu Miaomiao was very happy, and the Yu family who came back from the Dragon King Temple saw it and felt very comforted.However, Yu Miaomiao's happiness vanished when she arrived at Zhuxi and saw the people Zhao Man hired for her.

"Is this the person you are looking for? Who will pay the wages?" Yu Miaomiao pulled Zhao Man away from the crowd, and asked sinisterly.

Zhao Man glanced at the crowd, and said confidently: "These are gifts for you, your mine, your workers, work for you"
