Chapter 12 Effort and hardship are just the foundation
The next day was cloudy.
Early in the morning, your family welcomed a new guest.
"Please make a trip in person, Mr. Bai Zhu."
"It's nothing. I see that you look good and you are recovering well. Have you been feeling uncomfortable lately?"
"No, I have already started rehabilitation training. If I don't use a wheelchair, I will have no problem standing."
Ouyang chatted with Baizhu who came for a consultation, and nodded and said hello to Qiqi who was following him.
"Hello, Qiqi, do you still remember me?"
"Qiqi, I don't remember."
Seeing Qiqi shaking her head, Ouyang was not disappointed. He smiled and told Gui Chuanyu: "You take Qiqi to play. There is still some coconut juice at home, so you take her there."
"Oh, okay uncle."
Gui Chuanyu, who had been looking at Qiqi curiously, immediately agreed after hearing the order. He held Daju in one hand and stretched out the other hand to hold Qiqi.
As a result, I was frightened by the cold touch.
"Oh, sister Qiqi, why are you so cold?"
Gui Chuanyu, who was asking curiously, heard Ouyang's scolding without waiting for Qiqi's answer.
"You can call her Sister Qiqi from now on, no matter how big or small you are."
"oh..."
She seemed a little unhappy, but Gui Chuanyu still obeyed and left with Qiqi.
After the two children left, only Ouyang and Baizhu were left in the side hall.
After cooperating with Baizhu for the examination, the two sat down and started drinking tea and chatting.
"Mr. Ouyang's health is recovering well, faster than I expected. Depending on the situation, he will be able to walk normally in a few days."
"I have a merciless request regarding this matter."
Ouyang put down the tea cup and continued: "I hope Mr. Bai Zhu can conceal my physical condition for me."
Just in case, Ouyang planned to do a complete job of pretending to be sick, and try not to expose his flaws as much as possible.
"Oh? May I know why?"
"I just want to have less worries. If outsiders know that I have recovered, I will not be able to rest at home as leisurely as I do now. For this reason, I can increase the remuneration for this consultation."
"So that's it, I can promise you. No reward is necessary."
Bai Shu agreed very nicely, but before Ouyang could say thank you, he heard another voice.
"You haven't bribed me yet? I can tell you."
"Changsheng, don't be like this."
Seeing Bai Shu's somewhat embarrassed expression, Ouyang looked at the white snake surrounding Bai Shu's neck and asked curiously.
"Then what price do I have to pay to bribe you?"
"Ten times, the consultation fee this time has been increased ten times!"
Such an answer made Ouyang even more curious. He didn't mind spending more molas. The problems that could be solved with molas were all small ones. But why did this snake need so many molas?
"Your name is Changsheng? Mora is not a problem. Can you tell me why you want so many Mora?"
"Hmph, I won't tell you, just give the consultation fee to Baizhu."
Changsheng spat out the letter and turned away from Ouyang.
Bai Shu on one side covered his face in embarrassment.
At noon, after dinner.
Ouyang, who was resting, found helplessly that pretending to be sick was of no use, because another guest came - Ning Guang.
The two of them sat quietly in the study, neither speaking.
Ouyang was drinking tea calmly, while Ningguang opposite him was staring at him with strange eyes.
He had some guesses about Ning Guang's arrival, but now the other party's half-smiling expression made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"You have a crush on me?"
His words were frivolous, but his tone was not very polite. This was Ouyang's intention.
Dadalia is about to arrive at Liyue Port, but Ningguang, who is the Seven Stars, has not sent any news.
This violates the original contract.
Coupled with what happened before, Ouyang doesn't like seeing Ning Guang now.
But Ning Guang was unmoved, still looked at Ouyang with a smile, and asked.
"Do you like Keqing?"
What the hell is this?
Ouyang rolled his eyes at Ningguang and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
What about Keqing’s “cat ears” and black silk incense?
Of course it’s a delicious batch!
As the character who accompanied him the longest in his previous life, he certainly has a different kind of feeling for Ke Qing.
But he is not the protagonist in the game. Game characters always have inexplicable trust and affection for the protagonist.
So everything is just a matter of thought.
And with the workload of Qixing, I can only think about it.
Unfortunately, Ning Guang still continued speaking reluctantly.
"You have been in a coma for five years. Five years ago, you gave Keqing a plan. On the surface, it was to help me solve Xuanmen matters, but the biggest political resource was given to her. Now that you are awake, your disabled body is not in good health.
He was resting, but after Keqing came to her door, he gave her advice again, so you like her, am I right?"
Faced with Ningguang's probing eyes, Ouyang didn't shy away and spoke very calmly.
"Whether you like it or not is my private matter. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll let someone see you off."
As the saying goes, of course men like a beautiful woman.
But this has nothing to do with Ning Guang. The relationship between them is not good enough to talk about this.
After looking at each other quietly for a while, Ningguang stopped dwelling on this topic and started talking about business.
"Now that you're awake, I have something to tell you. Zhidong has sent a new envoy, and the leader is the executive officer of the Fools, Dadalia."
"I already know this."
Looking at Ouyang in surprise, Ningguang continued.
"You seem to be very concerned about the second Xuanmen Martial Arts Tournament? There are also those ball games that I need to know more about in detail."
"This is actually a problem. I need to see the effect at the martial arts tournament to determine whether the entertainment projects I will order later will be effective."
As he said that, Ouyang looked at Ningguang's beautiful face and asked, "What do you think of the people of Xuanmen?"
"It's hard to say because there are mixed good and bad ones. Some are very capable of enduring hardship, and some are somewhat capable. But most of them are just show-offs, and enduring hardship doesn't actually have much of an advantage."
Ning Guang, who answered truthfully, also asked: "Why do you ask this?"
"I have some ideas about the issue of class access for the people in Liyue, but I haven't thought about it yet."
Ouyang, who has little political acumen, answered lightly, but Ningguang heard another hint - Ouyang wanted to build political capital for himself.
Therefore, Ningguang did not ask any more questions, but changed the topic.
"Do you mind building a toll station after the canal is opened?"
"Of course I do, and I can recommend a candidate to you."
"who?"
"Captain of the Southern Cross Fleet, Beidou!"
After asking and answering questions, the two chatted for a long time until the afternoon.
After talking about everything, Ningguang stood up and left.
But before leaving, she seemed to say to Ouyang casually.
"Qixing's Tianshu has semi-retired. I think you are almost ready to take office."
