Micro Herbs

Chapter 45

In the guest room of the inn, the oil lamp was dimly lit.

This is a fairly satisfactory wing room. After all, it is not bad to find a clean and tidy place that is not a black shop during the journey.And after the surprise attack in the daytime, the group of people went back to their respective rooms to wash and rest early, except Carpenter Tang, who still had a lot of things that he hadn't figured out, who was still in a daze with his sister.

Even among the group, the one who needs rest the most is him who was injured by the arrow.

"Brother, go and have a look..." The moon-white plain satin is embroidered with delicate and beautiful bletilla splendens, decorated with light-colored tassels, and is slowly sewn into a simple and elegant sachet by dexterous hands.After twisting off the last stitch of thread, Tang Wanwan gently smoothed out the wrinkles and looked at her brother who had been sitting by the window for a long time, her clear and beautiful face was a little sad.

How long has she not seen her brother so confused?

Yes, before the death of the parents, they had exhorted and exhorted them so that they must not let the elder brother's mechanism and wooden armor skills be shown in front of others.But in order to live a peaceful and ordinary life, I let my brother suffer so much that he couldn't get rid of it, really...is it worth it...

"What are you talking about?" After being slightly taken aback, Carpenter Tang drank in a low voice and turned his face away.

"Brother, for so many years we have been following the instructions of our parents before they were alive, and lived a peaceful and ordinary life in hiding, but have you really lived a comfortable life? It's a disaster that can't be avoided, and what should come will always come."

Tang Wanwan stared straight at her elder brother who had depended on each other for many years, and Tang Wanwan felt unspeakable pain in her eyes.

"People from the Tang family came here today, and they saw it too. If they were really worried, they wouldn't say those things to you. Brother, you think those wooden armored institutions have been thinking about it for more than 20 years. Wanwan is not afraid of death, nor is she afraid of death. Separated from my brother, but Wanwan doesn't want to see you living like a walking corpse like this."

How long has she not seen her brother laughing?

She remembered that her elder brother loved to laugh when she was a child, and he would clean himself up. When he spoke, his eyes were always bright and warm, carefree as if all the sorrows in the world were related to him. It doesn't matter at all.At that time, my elder brother was liked by many people, my neighbor's sisters, uncles and aunts, as well as my father and mother.

When did things get different?

Was it the first time Brother's office was burned down, or was it the first time he had to leave his hometown?

Or... when parents passed away...

"...Let me think about it." After a long time, Carpenter Tang replied with a slightly hoarse voice, and then his eyes fell on Tang Wanwan's hand, "The sachet you embroidered... For that kid named Bai?"

It's not that he wants to take the opportunity to change the topic to escape, but he really needs some time to get out of the haze of the past.

"Master Baiji helped us a lot. I want to embroider a sachet to thank him." Looking at the sachet in his hand, Tang Wanwan smiled unconsciously.It was the affection embroidered by the girl with a shy mind, every stitch and thread showed something, it was very beautiful, but it might not really be the wishful thinking that had been carefully thought through.

But before everything is clear about Daoming, this kind of relationship is still very beautiful, isn't it?

"Just thank you?" Carpenter Tang didn't intend to play dumb along with a rare chuckle.

He is very clear about his sister's temperament.

On weekdays, people before and after are soft-spoken, gentle and virtuous, but in fact they are very arrogant and have their own ideas.Ordinary people greet each other with smiles on their faces, but they never let them go at all in their hearts.

To be honest, it was beyond his expectation that this girl would show so much interest in Baiji, whom he had just met.

"I..." Lowering her head and twisting her clothes, Tang Wanwan roughly guessed what her brother wanted to say.

"Girl, he's not suitable for you, don't worry about it." He walked slowly to the table and patted his sister's head. Carpenter Tang didn't touch the sachet, but what he said was dissuading.He was not a person used to persuasion, but for the sake of the only family member, he had to use his crappy words and methods to remind him.

"Didn't my brother also say that he has a reliable temperament and is a good person?" The stubborn reluctance to raise her head to face him was not because Tang Wanwan was too stupid to understand what she said, on the contrary, maybe she saw it more clearly than anyone else.It's just that it's always difficult for people who fall in love to make sense easily. If they haven't bumped into the south wall and haven't suffered pain, how can they give up so easily.

What's more, the moment she was rescued by Baiji in the narrow alley, she was already infatuated with that kind of tenderness.Then every day when we get along, watching Baiji's words and smiles, that feeling is like poppies.

It is too difficult for her to quit now...

"Girl, there is someone in his heart, don't be stupid and pretend that you don't see it."

Baiji is a good person, his eyes are not blind, of course he can see that he is a person worthy of love and companionship.

If it is possible, as an older brother, he must hope that his younger sister can find a lover that he really likes, but the premise is... this 'beloved' can't belong to him.

In fact, he doesn't know much about the love between men and women.

He put all his thoughts on the mechanism wooden armor, but he is not a fool.Wan Wan pretended to pretend to be stupid to see Bai Ji occasionally showing his eyes when he was with that young man surnamed Bai, but he was not blind.

"Heh, what kind of fruit can two men have? Leaving aside the mundane world, if Bai Mu gave birth to a son, can he wash, cook and manage the housework for him, or will he have children and hide in the hall?"

With a low sneer, Tang Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly, and her shyness just now had disappeared.

That appearance, if others saw it, they might not be able to believe it.How could there be such a coldness and pride that was almost crazy and cruel in the eyes of this woman who always appeared so gentle and weak in front of people.That is definitely not the look that an ordinary woman who has never experienced storms and has no power to restrain a chicken should have.

"I'm not good at medicine, but I can learn it. Apart from that, what else can I compare to him. Face?"

"Wanwan!" Tang Wanwan's next words were interrupted by a loud shout, and Carpenter Tang's expression was more serious than ever.But perhaps, that was because only he knew the seriousness of those crazy and absurd words.

"Don't forget, what you promised brother at the grave of parents."

He would never allow Wanwan's peace and stability, which had been maintained for so many years, to be broken by such a ridiculous reason as jealousy of a man.His younger sister, as long as she can feel at ease and be an ordinary country embroidery girl.

"...I'm sorry." Probably realizing her gaffe just now, Tang Wanwan lowered her head and bit her lip, then timidly raised her head and pulled Carpenter Tang's hand.That demeanor was her usual one, which couldn't be more familiar.

"When you're older, I can't control or persuade you who you like, but if you still think of me as your elder brother, you should get rid of those ghostly thoughts of comparing each other as soon as possible." The younger sister grew up and couldn't persuade her anymore. But at least he didn't want the situation to get worse, "Remember?"

"……Um."

"Brother has gone back to the room, you should go to bed earlier." Patting his sister on the shoulder lightly, Carpenter Tang didn't say anything more.The wound on his shoulder hurts badly, he is really tired, "Don't 'think about it' anymore."

************************************************** ****

Baiji is not a crow, and has no habit of listening to people's corners, so naturally he doesn't know what disputes related to him happened in Tang Wanwan's room just now.Of course, Bai Wei, who was concentrating on drawing the blueprints of the mechanism, would not know that his handsome face and his overly romantic and suave attire were severely disliked by others.

But then again, the two brothers and sisters of the Tang family spoke softly, and it was normal that no sound could be heard from across the room.

Compared with Tang Carpenter's entanglement and headache at the moment, Baiji's troubles are much simpler.

"Mu Sheng, don't draw anymore, the candlelight is too dim, be careful not to hurt your eyes."

Carefully dry up the drawings that have just been drawn, and put away the waste ones in a basket, waiting to be burned back.Although Bai Ji persuaded her with some worry, she still lit a lot of candles in various places in the room for Bai Wei.It was because of Bai Wei's habit of painting at will, regardless of time, that he specially asked the waiter in the inn to send it for preparation.

"I'm fine." He carefully picked up the drawing with the last strokes and dried it gently, Bai Wei's words seemed a little helpless, "Mechanism wooden armor is not something I have learned, and now this Wanhua's old design can do much better. I remember a little bit. There are other important things to do next, and if it is delayed until then, I’m afraid I won’t be able to concentrate on this blueprint.”

If you don't enter this way, you don't know how hard it is, not to mention that his understanding of mechanism art is just a superficial knowledge from the brothers who have made good friends with Tiangong.Those days when he returned to his old place, he was unable to set up such great ambitions. Now when he really wanted to do it, he realized that he had still underestimated the difficulty of rebuilding.

Even if he can find a capable person who is proficient in mechanism making, only he knows what Wanhua used to be like.Even if someone can make it, they must have his rough drawing style.And just this relatively detailed Wall-E drawing in his hand has made him think about it for several days, not to mention there is another problem that he has to face...

"Is it... silver?" Baiji asked uncertainly after pouring a cup of hot tea and turning around to hand it over.

"Yeah, Yinzi." Taking a sip from the teacup, Bai smiled self-deprecatingly, "That day I said that I wanted to rebuild Wanhua, but I only remembered it later. Lin Li, I have really attracted people, but I can't even build a WALL-E with my current wealth, let alone a mechanical bird climbing a ladder."

A penny can't kill a hero, a problem that couldn't be more realistic.

If you want to rebuild Wanhua Valley and rebuild all kinds of institutions, silver is the first difficulty.Su Weiyun was able to help him find people and find a way to raise a lot of materials, but those materials cost money.Even if he doesn't need to worry too much about his family's wealth, he still hasn't felt at ease to take advantage of his brother.

We've seen each other's ugliest faces before. Young Master Su regards him as a brother, but can he treat him as a fat sheep?

"Can you figure out how much silver taels you need?"

He poured a cup of tea and drank it, Bai Ji was about to go to the table and sit down, but Bai Wei pulled him into his arms.Fortunately, the direction Bai Wei was facing was not facing the table, otherwise the drawings would be ruined, and this person would really suffer.

"Most of the organs in the valley are made of bronze, and it is extremely labor-intensive. Even if the scattered parts are planed, it is only considered a big place, and the houses are added, at least three to four hundred thousand taels." He wrapped his arms around the waist of Baiji , reaching back with one hand to remove the obstructive headband that tied the bun neatly, and played with a strand of hair.Bai Wei enjoyed the nephrite jade fragrance with a slightly medicinal herb smell, but her attitude was quite straight.Probably because it took too long to understand the goal, and it was impossible to solve it immediately, the pressure was not as heavy as those goals that were within reach.

"Actually, if you think about it better, it took more than ten years for the owner of the valley to travel around the world to win over strange people and strangers, and it took more than ten years to complete the Wanhua. But now I just need... to get together the tens of thousands of taels to build the Lingyun Ladder."

"...very...well...a clear goal." The scattered hair and the delicate kisses on the neck made Bai Ji's breathing gradually heavy, allowing Bai Wei to remove the belt of his robe bit by bit until the end The snow-white singlet inside.

"Don't worry, I'll always find a way." With a light smile, he kissed Baiji's lips, lingeringly outlined, and the hands that slipped into the clothes traced the beautiful shape of the back inch by inch against the smooth skin.Then, the waist...

"Don't...there's someone next door." Panting hurriedly, he grabbed Bai Wei's hand and didn't let him move any further. Bai Ji's face turned red and his eyes rolled, showing a little seductive color that he didn't even notice.

Hearing this, Bai Wei paused slightly, then bit the tip of Baiji's nose as a joke, then withdrew his hand and stopped going any further: "Okay, I'll listen to you outside, wait until you get back inside, but Don't think I'll let you go again."

In fact, the fire on his body was already aroused by the lingering lips and tongue, but... after all, he didn't want to embarrass Baiji.

"I'll ask Xiao Er to bring the bath water."

"……Um."

The author has something to say: Cough...

Here I want to say that although Brother Hua and Xiao Liu have been living in the same room and sleeping in the same bed since they communicated with each other, they have not really had sex yet.At first it was because of brother Hua's eye and ear problems, but later it was because the place was not understood by you, so Xiaoliu is still a...cough cough...Chicken =w=

Then the price of one tael of silver in the early Tang Dynasty was almost equivalent to the current price of more than 3000 to 5000 yuan, and if it was less, it would be 3000 yuan.

That is to say, if the first Lingyun Ladder to be built is 3 taels of silver, Brother Hua will have to collect 9000 million taels in about a year.Work hard to make money, classmate Bai Wei~~╮(╯_╰)╭

As for me wanting to write Miss Tang Er’s darkened face because of Mao, it’s actually because I’ve been too entangled and convulsed recently, so don’t worry too much_(:з」∠)_

In the end, what I want to say is that Miss Tang is not a soy sauce cannon fodder.
