Through Time Chapter 72

When Zhao Lang looked up, he saw a beautiful woman standing next to him, looking at him playfully.

Next to her was a small maid.

All over her body, she revealed this aura of a lady of the house, which made people feel extremely comfortable.

If it was the previous Zhao Lang, he might have been a little embarrassed.

But having been served by Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu for so long, and with Ji Wushuang, a demonic-looking one, at the manor.

Zhao Lang had long since developed the ability to resist and smiled graciously, saying

“Is the girl talking to me? ”

The woman nodded her head and playfully returned that

“Can you see anyone else around, my lord?”

Zhao Lang spoke with both hands, and

“I don’t have any water with me.”

The woman laughed and

“The Duke’s stately home is just around the corner, does he begrudge this bowl of water?”

Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, the other party had come prepared for this.

Of course, he wasn’t vain, this was his territory.

A woman was just a woman, she could not eat him up.

Straight to the point.

“If the girl doesn’t mind, come back to the manor with me.”

The woman instantly agreed.

This made Zhao Lang even more certain that the other party had come prepared, knowing that the Great Qin was not as strict as the latter’s though the distinction between men and women was.

But it was uncommon for a woman to go back with someone directly, even if it was placed two thousand years later.

On his way back, Zhao Lang casually asked

“I don’t know the girl’s name yet.”

“Your Excellency calls me Li Ling’er is all, haven’t you asked your Excellency?”

“Zhao Lang.”

The two of them made their way back to the manor.

Zhao Lang directly asked Wang Cai to send water over.

As he watched the other party drink it all up, Zhao Lang smiled, he wanted to see what this Li Ling’er, was going to do next.

“The water at the Duke’s house seems to be different from the water elsewhere.”

Li Ling’er spoke up.

“Well, this water has been boiled.”

Zhao Lang explained in an old-fashioned manner.

He had already told the people of the manor to drink only plain water a long time ago.

“So that’s how it is.”

Li Ling’er nodded thoughtfully, and then said, extremely dryly

“Thank you for the water, my lord, I have been out for a long time, so I will not disturb you.”

“My home is not far away from the Li family estate, so if you are thirsty one day, you can also come to the door and have a bowl of water.”

After saying this, he bowed and left.

The other party’s crisp and clean look caused Zhao Lang to freeze for a moment.

When Li Ling’er had left, Zhao Lang called Wang Cai over and asked

“Is there a Li family manor near us?”

Wangcai thought back for a moment and said that

“Yes, my lord, it’s just north of our manor, not much further.”

“But it seems that the owner of this house has recently changed, and I heard that there is an extremely beautiful girl in the house.”

Zhao Lang was directly shocked that

“You are within the manor day in and day out, how do you know this?”

A hint of embarrassment surfaced on Wang Cai’s face as he said that

“My lord, it’s all because those servant girls love to chew on their tongues, I’ve heard about it too.”

Zhao Lang then asked, frowning at Wen

“Then is it common to borrow water to drink such things on a regular basis?”

Wang Cai looked at Zhao Lang, and then thought about the incident of Li Ling’er borrowing water to drink just now.

Seeming to understand something, Wang Cai smiled and said that

“Isn’t it common for passers-by to borrow a bowl of water when they’re thirsty? We all have water at the entrance of the village all year round, everyone does it.”

“My lord, it’s only right to help each other when you’re out and about.”

Zhao Lang was choked by Wang Cai’s words, unable to speak.

He knew that Wang Cai was right, two thousand years later, even in some rural areas, there were still such customs.

In his mind, he also thought of the words, no road is left untouched, no house is closed at night, and neighbours help each other.

“Gongzi, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing that Zhao Lang’s face did not look right, Wang Cai asked with concern.

“Nothing.”

Zhao Lang waved his hand and said that

“You go and get busy.”

When Wang Cai had gone, Zhao Lang smiled a little and said to himself, mockingly

“Zhao Long ah Zhao Long, others are just thirsty and borrow a bowl of water, a normal interaction between neighbours.”

“But you are suspicious, you really think that the whole world is surrounding you.”

But this can’t be blamed on him, Zhao Long grew up and went to the city in his last life, you want to borrow a bowl of water when you’re thirsty.

The odds were that the other person would just give you a blank stare and send you off to buy water from the shops all over the street.

There is no right or wrong in this, the times are just different.

It’s just that Zhao Lang is a bit emotional.

Having been despised by the servant, Zhao Lang’s mood was a little less beautiful.

He was ready to go around the manor, preferably to find some trouble with someone and divert his pain.

But unfortunately, the servants on the manor were more serious than one in their work.

Much to Zhao Lang’s disappointment.

Soon, he saw Gong Zi Gao standing in the courtyard with a letter in his hand and was standing with a puzzled plus pained face.

Gongzi Gao was troubled at this point, having spent all his savings to buy the naming rights to the new plough.

He thought of offering it to Qin Shi Huang to please him.

But to his surprise, he waited for a letter that counted as a rebuke.

This made him extremely uncomfortable.

But Zhao Lang instantly came to his senses.

It was like, one is unlucky, as long as someone is more unlucky than you.

Your situation doesn’t actually improve, but your heart somehow feels better.

“What’s bothering you, Gung Ho. ”

Zhao Lang asked as he approached.

Hearing the voice, Gongzi Gao hastily put the letter away, squeezed out a smile and said that

“No matter, my father just sent over the correspondence.”

Without waiting for Zhao Lang to ask more questions, Gong Zi Gao then said that

“Gongzi Lang, I have a class to attend, so I will leave first.”

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Zhao Lang could only shout from afar that

“Gongzi Gao, don’t forget to send the money over as soon as possible ah.”

Gong Zi Gao’s back jerked to a halt for a moment before he quickened his pace and left.

If you can’t watch the fun, you can’t deflect the pain.

Just then, Wang Cai reappeared before him and said that

“My lord, a letter has come from the master of the family, and it has been delivered to your room.”

“Well, I know.”

When Zhao Lang heard the news from his cheap old man, he came to life.

When he returned to his room, he saw a letter and several small boxes laying in the room.

After reading the epistle, Zhao Lang’s eyes instantly lit up with

“Another ten thousand taels of gold has been sent?”

Zhao Lang opened a box and looked at the small yellow gold nuggets, his mood suddenly became much more beautiful.

“Old dad, don’t worry, looking at the gold, I will definitely give you a pension.”

Just as Zhao Lang was counting the gold in a beautiful mood, inside the Xianyang Palace.

Duke Fusu was frowning at the palace accounts and asked the chamberlain at the side of

“The inner palace has drawn down 10,000 taels of gold today, what is the reason for this?”

The chamberlain returned.

“It was an order from His Majesty’s hand, sent to an estate outside the city.”

“An estate outside the city?”

Duke Fusu asked.

“Is it the one Hu Hai and the others went to?”

The ministers did not know that so many imperial sons and daughters had been sent outside the city, but he, the imperial son, still knew about it.

Fusu thought about it and said.

“In a few days when the government is not busy, we will also go out of the city to have a look.”
