Chapter 56 What a smell of vinegar
During lunch, Ji Qingxue carried a box of food and planned to find Nan Gongyan. In recent days, he was so busy working on water storage in Beicheng that he had no appetite at all, so she went to the kitchen to make some appetizers .

Just after entering the door, Ji Qingxue saw Sima Yue sticking to Nangong Yan's body with chopsticks in her hand, she pouted: "Brother Yan, this is a Weiguo snack I specially made, you Just try it!"

The cry of Brother Yan made Ji Qingxue's whole body go wrong, goosebumps almost fell all over the floor.

Suddenly Ji Qingxue was not in a hurry to go in, she wanted to see how Nan Gongyan would react.

During the whole process, Nan Gongyan only frowned, and he said coldly: "Princess Yue, this is the study room, outsiders are not allowed to come in at will, except for this king and princess."

The princess is Ji Qingxue, so outsiders are talking about Sima Yue.

Being called by Nangong Yan as talking about outsiders, Sima Yue felt a little uncomfortable, but on the surface she pretended not to understand, she smiled: "Brother Yan, sooner or later we will become a family."

Nan Gongyan was finally willing to put down the pen in his hand, and turned to look at Sima Yue: "I repeat, no matter what, I will never marry you."

Sima Yue's heart sank, and she looked at Nangong Yan with a rather hurt expression: "Brother Yan, I have liked you since a long time ago, why do you keep rejecting me thousands of miles away?"

Nan Gongyan has never been good at dealing with these romantic matters.

In the past, he always felt that his life was not long, so he was always fighting against the sky, against his fate, and never thought that he would share his white head with anyone.

Now with Ji Qingxue, it was the first time in his life that he had such an idea. Ji Qingxue once said that what she wanted was a couple for life, so why not Nangongyan.

Since he recognized Ji Qingxue, he never thought of accepting others.

"Because I already have Axue." Nangong Yan said very seriously, even if the other party had the Soul Jade Fruit, he would not compromise.

Sima Yue burst into tears and looked very aggrieved: "Brother Yan, is that Ji Qingxue really that good?"

Nan Gongyan shook his head, she is not good.

"Then why do you still treat her like this, Yue'er doesn't understand."

Nan Gongyan lowered her head, as if immersed in her own world: "She has a bad temper, and if she says something wrong, she might have to attack. She is very domineering and stubborn, and even nine cows can't pull back what she decides. She Fans of repaying money, everything must be calculated with money, as if the whole person is drilled out of the pile of money."

Sima Yue listened carefully, maybe even Nan Gongyan didn't know, when he said this, the expression on his face was very gentle, it was an expression Sima Yue had never seen before.

Nan Gongyan was still chattering: "But, I just think she is special."

After a while, Sima Yue gritted her teeth and asked, "Brother Yan, do you still remember that in the Thousand Carp Pond in the Imperial Palace, you once rescued a little girl who accidentally fell into the pond."

Nan Gongyan said lightly: "So what if you remember, so what if you don't remember."

Sima Yue said quickly: "The girl you rescued is me."

When she was young, she accompanied her father as an envoy to Dayan, and accidentally slipped and fell into the thousand carp pond because she was greedy for fun, but she couldn't swim yet. When she was struggling, someone rescued her.

After the man rescued her, he left quietly. Later, she asked the palace servants who were present at that time, and said that the one who rescued her was Prince Rui Nan Gongyan.

With tears in his eyes, Sima Yue said, "Since then, there has been a person named Nangong Yan in my heart. I waited for many years before I could walk by your side, brother Yan, but you didn't even give me a single glance." willing."

Listening to Sima Yue's recounting of the past, Nan Gongyan had some impressions. After all, many years had passed, but to Nan Gongyan, it was just an unintentional act, but Sima Yue remembered it for a long time.

Nan Gongyan's expression softened, and he said to Sima Yue: "I don't remember what happened back then, so why should you keep thinking about it. Don't put imaginary fantasies on me anymore, you should do it again." Find good people."

Sima Yue was extremely stubborn. She wiped away her tears and said firmly, "Brother Yan, no matter how much you miss me, I will definitely marry you."

This is her long-cherished wish for many years. God knows how much hardship she has put in for today.

Therefore, she will never give up.

Sima Yue turned around and ran out. When she saw Ji Qingxue at the door, Sima Yue gave her a hard look. Ji Qingxue just smiled and didn't bother to argue with her.

"Let's eat something." Ji Qingxue opened the food box and brought out a few small dishes, and placed them one by one in front of Nan Gongyan, "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat, but if someone eats the snacks made by Princess Yue If you are full, you don't have to force yourself to eat my simple food."

Nan Gongyan twitched the corners of his mouth, could he understand someone's expression and tone as she was jealous?

"Axue, do you smell it? There's such a sour smell in this room!"

Ji Qingxue gave him a white look, did you?Why didn't she smell it!
The tempting aroma of the food has successfully whetted Nangongyan's appetite, he picked up a piece of dish closest to him with his chopsticks, and put it into his mouth unceremoniously.

"Well, not bad. The meals cooked in this kitchen today seem to be very different from those in the past.

Hearing what Nan Gongyan said, Ji Qingxue felt proud: "That's natural, because this girl did it."

"You?" Nangongyan was very surprised. It turned out that she could cook, and the taste was not bad. "When did you learn it?"

Ji Qingxue smiled: "I often eat the last meal without stopping, so I have to learn how to do it myself."

Because no one cares about their own lives.

Understanding what Ji Qingxue said, Nangongyan's eyes were full of pity, she really suffered!
I don't know how much suffering I have suffered to have Ji Qingxue today.

Ji Qingxue said to Nan Gongyan: "Since you like it, then eat more."

Nan Gongyan nodded, and began to work hard. After a while, he swept away a few dishes.

Nan Gongyan is different from other nobles in the royal family. He has never liked delicacies from mountains and seas. On the contrary, if someone is willing to cook an ordinary meal for him, he will cherish it even more.

Because for him, a relationship without any selfishness is the most precious.

Seeing him put down his chopsticks, Ji Qingxue asked, "How is the water storage going?"

Mentioning this Nan Gongyan gave him a headache. He imagined many methods, but he rejected them one by one, because none of them could really solve the root cause of the drought in Beicheng, but only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

Ji Qingxue picked up the drawing on the table, looked at it carefully, and then circled a place on the drawing: "Have you ever thought about starting from here?"

Nan Gongyan took a closer look, the place Ji Qingxue was pointing at coincided with his thoughts.

Ji Qingxue pointed to the place not far from Beicheng, Xicheng.

The northern city suffers from droughts all year round and needs to store water, but the west city is just the opposite. Floods do occur, making the people miserable.

Nan Gongyan was thinking that if he could combine the situation of the two cities, he could kill two birds with one stone and solve the difficulties of the two cities.

However, there is a long distance between the two cities in the west and the north, even if the water is diverted for a while, there is no way.

"As you can see, these two cities are far apart. If you want to use the west city to solve the difficulties in the north city, it will be more difficult than going to heaven."

This is what Nan Gongyan is worried about now, how to divert the water from the west city to the territory of the north city.

Ji Qingxue thought for a while, then she pointed to another place and said, "Why don't we set up a watershed here."

Nan Gongyan became interested, but he didn't expect Ji Qingxue to know a thing or two about water control. It seems that he really picked up a treasure.

"What do you think, let's hear it."

Ji Qingxue pointed to a meeting point of the two cities and said: "We can set this place as a watershed. First, we dig a plank road to bring in the water from the west city. When the water reaches here, it will be divided into two streams. I pay attention Seeing that the surrounding area is relatively flat, one of them will be directly introduced into the North City, so that the moat in the North City will not be dried up, and the other will pass through many places, which can help the people along the way to relieve their urgent needs. Moreover, the project is relatively light. A lot of pressure."

Nan Gongyan looked at Ji Qingxue with admiration, why didn't she know that she was so smart.

"But do you have any ideas about other issues here?" Nan Gongyan just wanted to hear her opinion, and she looked really good-looking when she got serious.

Ji Qingxue paused: "The difficulty in implementing this is to establish a watershed, but if it is to be done once and for all, this method is the best. Moreover, there is another problem, which is more serious."

"What's the problem?" At this time, Nan Gongyan looked serious and asked for advice.

Ji Qingxue said earnestly: "Of course it's official corruption."

Nan Gongyan was quite surprised, this Ji Qingxue really dared to say anything, he suddenly worried that if this Ji Qingxue was not by his side, would this Ji Qingxue cause some serious trouble.

Official corruption has been the most troublesome thing for the emperors since the founding of the country. Officials and officials defend each other and deceive the court and the people, but the emperor has never dared to deal with it lightly, because such things often affect the whole body.

If the matter of official corruption is thoroughly investigated, it will shake the foundation of the court.

Ji Qingxue snorted: "This has already been rooted from the inside out, I'd rather gouge it out once and for all, so as not to hurt others or myself in the future."

Ji Qingxue continued: "The construction of the plank road is a big project. It is a matter of human life. If someone interferes, then even if the plank road is completed, it will not have any effect in the future."

Nan Gongyan pondered for a long while before he looked up at Ji Qingxue: "It seems that a job can only be entrusted to a person with integrity."

The room suddenly became silent, Nan Gongyan kept staring at Ji Qingxue.

"What do you see me doing?" Ji Qingxue touched her face and said, "Could it be that there is something on my face!"

Nan Gongyan nodded seriously, there was indeed something.

Ji Qingxue hurriedly touched her face indiscriminately, and after searching for a long time, she didn't see what Nangongyan said.

Nangongyan smiled: "You have a flower on your face."

Ji Qingxue: "..."

Brother, your joke is not funny at all!
