Chapter 26 Praise You
Chapter 26 Praise You
When Chu Qing sat beside Qin Wuzhou and explained the exercises to Qin Wuzhou, Qin Wuzhou seriously thought about the possibility that Chu Qing liked him.
"For hillside terrain, you can choose the field reclamation mode of terraced fields. Terraces are fields with strip-like terraces or wave-shaped sections built along the contour line on hilly slopes. Effective measures to control soil erosion in slope farmland, water storage, conservation Soil and production increase are very significant." Chu Qing knocked on the table and said seriously, "Are you listening carefully?"【1】
"I'm listening," Qin Wuzhou replied, "but the manpower consumption of terraced fields is much higher than that of the plains."【2】
"Yes, so only places with special terrain need to use this mode, and, in relatively dry areas, it is necessary to use a series of dams to retain water sources."【2】
Chu Qing's tone didn't sound ambiguous, Qin Wuzhou thought about the knowledge Chu Qing taught him, and at the same time figured out his feelings for him from Chu Qing's tone.
Chu Qing looked out the window, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's time to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the palace.
"This is the exercise you need to complete when I go to the dinner later." Chu Qing took a new exercise book from the room, and the exercises he gave Qin Wuzhou became more and more difficult. Qin Wuzhou is very good at learning and absorbs knowledge very quickly .
Qin Wuzhou took the book and nodded, "Come back early."
Hearing Qin Wuzhou's words, Chu Qing inexplicably recalled Guanshi Peng's statement just now that Qin Wuzhou was in his room, which is true, the side room and the main room are connected, which is equivalent to being in the same room.
"Okay, I'll try my best." Chu Qing nodded, got up and left the ear room.
-
With the two incidents that happened in the hall this morning, the atmosphere of the banquet seemed very heavy.
The king of Chu sat on the high platform without saying a word, drinking again and again.
The ministers sitting under the stage were also surprisingly taciturn. Their eyes were on the singing and dancing singers, but most of them were secretly looking at Chu Qing.
No matter how the mediocre and selfish people slander the brave and righteous people, they will always honestly feel awe and fear of such people in their hearts.
Chu Qing ate the dishes as if no one else was around. This was the first time he ate imperial dishes. The topic is a bit difficult.
Qin Wuzhou was sitting on the beam, frowning, thinking hard about the solution to the problem.
Then, when the music was played for a while, the dancer left Taichung and came to the ministers one after another. Some ministers took advantage of the opportunity to embrace the dancer and drank the nectar from the dancer's hands.
Some ministers refused to accompany the dancing girl, and the dancing girl left silently from both sides of the hall.
A dancer walked up to Chu Qing, she was very beautiful, her eyes were bright like stars, her jade fingers were flamboyant, and she offered a glass of wine to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing picked up the wine glass and drank it.
The dancer wanted to sit beside Chu Qing, but Chu Qing refused.
"Everyone knows," Chu Qing refused with a gentle smile, "I like men, but I don't like women. Go down and rest."
The dancing girl shook her head to Chu Qing, smiling very charmingly.
"I'm not a woman, I'm just wearing a dancer's clothes." His voice was different from his appearance, slightly clearer and warmer.
Chu Qing really didn't expect that the person with such an enchanting dancing posture was not a woman?
At the moment when Chu Qing was shocked, the "dancing girl" had taken the initiative to sit beside Chu Qing, and tried to cling to Chu Qing, pretending to feed him a drink.
Qin Wuzhou had stopped writing a long time ago. He looked at the dancer next to Chu Qing, and the brush in his hand was broken into two pieces. If he read correctly, the figure of the "dancer" was obviously not a woman, but a woman. It's a man.
Chu Qing doesn't want to take advantage of others, nor does he want to be taken advantage of, and he declares that he likes men, but it's just to keep his love, and he doesn't really like to have sex with men.
"Stay away from me." Chu Qing's voice was slightly cold, "I have a servant in my house, and I don't want to mess with flowers and grass outside, so as not to make my whole body smelly."
The "dancing girl" stopped approaching Chu Qing tactfully, he sat beside Chu Qing normally, looked at Chu Qing playfully while holding a glass of wine, and asked: "You said, the servant of the mansion, but Qin The country's proton, Qin Wuzhou?"
Chu Qing felt suffocated again. It seems that almost everyone believed what the prince said?Even this "dancing girl" knows...
"Dancing Girl" saw that Chu Qing didn't answer, and then said to Chu Qing: "I am Wei Yong, the proton sent by Wei State to Chu State. In terms of status, I am similar to him. Why don't you also consider me?"
"..." Chu Qing really couldn't understand why he, a prince of the Wei country, came here to recommend himself as a pillow?
Qin Wuzhou's eyes were fixed on the revealingly dressed Prince Wei, and he wished he could kill this proton of Wei who was an eyesore.
"Don't think about it." Chu Qing's voice became more and more indifferent.
"Okay." Wei Yong didn't say anything more, looking a little frustrated.
Occasionally, officials came to toast, Wei Yong made a gesture to block the wine for Chu Qing, but was stopped by Chu Qing's cold eyes.
Chu Qing's capacity for drinking is not good, after a few glasses of fruit wine, Chu Qing stopped drinking, and he resisted the next toast with his overpowering strength.
However, the stamina of this fruit wine was stronger than what Chu Qing thought, so he felt a little tipsy.
"What are you doing in Chu?" Chu Qing asked with a blank expression while propping his head on one hand.
"Learn the methods of metallurgy." Wei Yong is very frank, "It's a pity that the real technology is well hidden by the King of Chu, and I only learned a little superficially."
Chu Qing nodded, and replied, "Oh."
"You really don't think about me?" Wei Yong tried to recommend himself again, "What's so good about Qin Wuzhou, it looks very rude."
"You know him?" Chu Qing was wary of this sudden appearance of a proton from another country.
"I know him, but he doesn't know me," Wei Yong said to Chu Qing, "I was a hostage in Qin State when I was young, and came here after Qin State lost to Chu State."
"He's very good, much better than you." Chu Qing's patience was exhausted, and for unreasonable and entangled people, Chu Qing thought that there was no need to talk too much with him.
Wei Yong frowned and asked, "What do you think he is better than me?"
Chu Qing was completely irritated, he threw a book in his sleeve to Wei Yongdao: "This is done, talk to me again."
On the cover of the booklet there are five big characters "Advanced Mathematics".
Qin Wuzhou looked at the booklet in Wei Yong's hand, and looked at the exact same title in his hand, but it was marked next to the title. Qin Wuzhou felt deeply unwilling.
After Wei Yong opened it, he began to think about it like reading a book from heaven.
Qin Wuzhou wrote vigorously on the beam, as if he was comparing himself with someone.
After the dinner party, Chu Qing didn't stop there. He took back "Advanced Mathematics", and seeing that there was not a single word written on it, he thought to himself that he was quite sensible.
Chu Qing ignored Wei Yong, turned around and left, but Wei Yong looked at Chu Qing's back with more explicit eyes.
Then Wei Yong stepped on his skirt and fell, and when he got up, Chu Qing's back was no longer visible.
"Strange," Wei Yongzai looked at his skirt carefully, "I clearly remember not stepping on it?"
Qin Wuzhou clapped his hands and hurried back to Chu Qing's mansion.
After Chu Qing returned home, he changed into a light blue robe, the collar and cuffs were embroidered with silver silk edge flowing cloud patterns, and a wide belt with moon-white auspicious cloud patterns was around his waist. Leisurely and elegant, but also faintly showing the demeanor of stabilizing the overall situation.
Qin Wuzhou heard the knock on the door, and when he went to open the door, he saw Chu Qing dressed quite differently from usual, his eyes were fixed on Chu Qing, and he felt a little uncomfortable looking at Chu Qing.
"What's wrong?" Chu Qing looked down at his clothes in doubt, and asked, "Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?"
"No," Qin Wuzhou tried to take his eyes away from Chu Qing's body, but failed, "It's very beautiful."
As if afraid that Chu Qing would not believe it, he repeated: "Really."
"That's good." Chu Qing was usually in the mansion, and when he didn't see any visitors, he always wore a crescent moon pattern embroidered gown. He thought that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and he wanted to accompany Qin Wuzhou to the night market, so he had to dress decently.
"I asked the steward to prepare new clothes for you, and the steward will bring them right away." As Chu Qing said, Steward Peng ordered someone to bring the clothes up.
Seeing Chu Qing's appearance, Guanshi Peng's eyes also brightened.
"Master, you dress so nicely." Guanshi Peng seemed to feel that his boasting language was too poor, "You look like a fairy."
Chu Qing smiled, and said to Guanshi Peng: "Guanshi Peng praised me, I am very happy."
"Hurry up and change your clothes." Chu Qing said to Qin Wuzhou.
Qin Wuzhou handed the finished book to Chu Qing, and asked, "Aren't you going to read it first?"
"The night is just right, it's not too late to watch tomorrow." Chu Qing closed the door and urged, "Hurry up, the night market has already started."
Facing the black clothes, Qin Wuzhou muttered to himself in a low voice, "I praised you too."
When the door of the side room was opened, Chu Qing saw Qin Wuzhou wearing a black robe with a black belt around his waist, with a wide-brimmed brocade belt embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns on it, wearing a silver crown on his head. With inherent nobility.
The Qin Wuzhou in front of him made Chu Qing sigh with emotion, he deserves to be the villain in the original book, the monarch who unified the world, his demeanor is really extraordinary.
-
The street is full of lanterns, and the bright and dim lights illuminate the crowds passing by, and there are laughter everywhere, just like the scene in the picture scroll, peaceful and beautiful.
Both Chu Qing and Qin Wuzhou were wearing masks, and they were passing a lantern riddle guessing shop. In front of the shop were children who were no older than ten years old. It was said that they would be rewarded with a piece of candied haws for guessing a lantern riddle.
"Want to play?" Considering the night blindness of the original owner, Chu Qing was holding a lantern in his hand at the moment, his voice was a little hoarse and lazy, and he joked, "If you go, you will definitely be able to earn two candied haws back."
"Have you been drinking?" Qin Wuzhou asked knowingly, but he was on the beam before and saw that Chu Qing didn't drink much, so he thought it was nothing, but now it seems that it has some influence.
Chu Qing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead and said, "The wine in the palace has a bit of stamina, but it's just that I'm a little dizzy. I have a sense of proportion and don't drink much."
In addition to guessing lantern riddles, there are many other garden projects on the street, such as throwing pots, archery, and martial arts competitions...
Qin Wuzhou came to the archery venue, many people were trying to hit the highest lantern and win the biggest reward - a jade pendant of excellent quality.
But they all failed, and they contributed ten pennies in vain.
The bow provided by the shopkeeper was only five-strength, and even if it was fully drawn, it would not be able to hit the tallest lantern. Qin Wuzhou knew the trick when he saw it.
But most of the people who come here to try it now are just for fun, immersed in the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and have no obsession with the highest reward.
Therefore, the shopkeeper made a lot of money and laughed happily.
Qin Wuzhou gave the shopkeeper ten coins and received three arrows. When he drew up the bow, all the eyes of the people around him were focused on him.
Chu Qing also looked at Qin Wuzhou from a distance. It turned out that someone really could do it, even if he didn’t look at his face, it was just a posture of bowing and shooting arrows, which was so different and heroic. It seemed that he could feel the strength on the battlefield from him. Blood and cruelty.
The surrounding voices gradually quieted down, and more and more people looked in Qin Wuzhou's direction.
"It looks like a Lianjiazi, but if you can't shoot, this shop is a profiteer, and the bow strength you give is not enough."
"It's a pity, this person should be a military officer? At the foot of the Son of Heaven, he might be a general!"
……
Qin Wuzhou drew the bow to the full, and both the string and the bow made an unbearable "creaking" sound. Just when the bow and the string reached their limit at the same time, Qin Wuzhou let go, and the sword was shot out.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Wuzhou bowed his bow immediately, and the second arrow was shot so fast that no one could see what he did. The second arrow had already hit the end of the first arrow. With the help of the second arrow, the first arrow was shot successfully. Hit the lantern with an extremely tricky angle.
All the onlookers were stunned, followed by applause from nowhere, and countless onlookers applauded towards Qin Wuzhou.
Qin Wuzhou ignored the people around him, he turned his head and asked the shopkeeper, "A prize?"
The shop owner looked at the shot lantern and was feeling sorry for his money. When he heard Qin Wuzhou ask him, he reluctantly picked up the jade pendant from the table and handed it to Qin Wuzhou.
After Qin Wuzhou took the jade pendant, he returned to Chu Qing's side. He handed the jade pendant into Chu Qing's palm, and said to Chu Qing, "For you."
The street lights were on and off, and the market was noisy. On this noisy Mid-Autumn Festival night, Chu Qing received his second gift in this world.
Chu Qing felt that the world seemed to have quieted down. They used to be separated by a world, behind them was a picture of the end of the world, and their future was to meet each other in life and death, but at this moment Chu Qing just wanted to hug the lonely child in front of him.
