Chapter 1028: Clouds Reflect Clothes and Flowers Reflect Beauty
"How can I help you?"
After hearing Mo Cheng's question, Ling Ying thought about it carefully before shaking her head, "There really is nothing suitable for you to do for the time being, except government affairs."
Mo Cheng has always ignored government affairs, let alone letting him handle them.
Ling Ying was also aware of this, so she specifically pointed out that there was nothing other than [Government Affairs] that could be assigned to him.
" Besides..." After thinking for a while, Ling Ying said again, "You should be recuperating now, and it's better not to be entangled in worldly affairs."
Ling Ying knew that Mo Cheng had something special to do, but she only knew that it was a special thing commissioned by the [Lord], but she didn't know anything more specific.
[Lord] is the respectful title given to Mo Huaiyuan by those who know of his existence, because tens of thousands of years ago, the predecessor of [Nanli Daoyu] was just a country, and Mo Huaiyuan was the marquis of that country, and the title has continued to this day.
"So I came to see you if I could help you with anything."
Mo Cheng glanced at the pile of documents on the table, and wisely stepped back a few steps to avoid accidentally knocking them over. "Besides, I think this is considered a [rest]."
There is no need to go to war with others, just find something to kill time, this is "rest" in Mo Cheng's eyes.
But in the eyes of others, this kind of behavior is somewhat restless, or may lead to death from overwork.
"So you have so many documents and files here, what's the matter?"
The things piled up on Ling Ying's desk were not just piled together. It would not be surprising to say that they were large enough to bury a person.
If I had one-fifth, no, one-tenth, of the books piled on my desk when I was in high school, I wouldn't have seen the blackboard for the entire semester.
"There are many miscellaneous matters, but they cannot be ignored."
After hearing Mo Cheng's question, Ling Ying sighed and pointed at the documents on the table and introduced them bit by bit, "These are the various losses of Baili City, divided into civilian losses and municipal losses. They need to be counted and handed over to Yue Yao, the head of the department."
"This part is the pension application for the soldiers guarding Songyang City. We also need to check it and check it carefully to prevent anyone from making false reports or withholding pensions."
"This part is about several cities in the harbor. Someone obtained management rights by bribing the Ten Directions Demon Bandits. According to the laws of the Nanli Dao Domain, such management rights are not recognized, but corresponding appeasement must be made. Because a large part of the reconstruction plan led by Yue Yao will require the efforts of those big businessmen, so the losses of these big businessmen also need to be counted."
…
It was definitely a troublesome matter. Just by listening to it, Mo Cheng felt like ants were crawling all over his body. He knew very well that he couldn't solve any of the things on the table.
Unless the person who raised the problem is solved, it can be considered a perfect solution.
"Are these the matters you want to deal with?"
Ling Ying tilted her head and uttered a few words softly, "It's just a part."
Mo Cheng no longer knew whether the look in his eyes when he looked at Ling Ying was one of admiration or respect. He only knew that that was a field he could never set foot in, and if he were in her shoes he would definitely not be able to handle it.
"Can you finish it all in one day?"
Ling Ying rolled her eyes when she heard this. "Half a month of staying up all night should probably solve it."
With Ling Ying's level of cultivation, it is not difficult for her to work intensively for several months without eating or drinking, but no one is willing to do that.
Mo Cheng shrugged, walked to the table and picked up a document, "Then let me help you."
As he spoke, he picked up a pen and began to write and draw on the document. Although Mo Cheng was not good at handling government affairs, he could still do simple math problems such as calculating losses.
Ling Ying wanted to refuse, but after Mo Cheng didn't respond after she said it several times, she could only let him do it.
In this way, Ling Ying began to handle government affairs on one side, while Mo Cheng quickly helped to calculate the data on the documents. The two cooperated closely, and the documents on the table disappeared at a very fast speed.
After all the files on the desktop disappeared, Mo Cheng realized that it was already evening.
"Finally it's done." Ling Ying stretched lazily. Even with her level of cultivation, handling government affairs was very brain-consuming.
After all, what was delivered to her desk was the government affairs of the entire [Nanli Dao Domain] and a lot of data. She also needed to figure out which data was needed by others and then support other departments.
If Mo Cheng hadn't been there to help her, she would probably have to wait until the fourth hour of the night before she could drink water again.
“Indeed, this thing is really tiring.”
For Mo Cheng, the exhaustion from dealing with this kind of thing was even worse than fighting an army of immortals.
"At this time, Haifengtang is having a night market. Their desserts are pretty good. Do you want to try them?" Ling Ying spoke as if she was inviting Mo Cheng to have a midnight snack together. At the same time, she seemed to remember something. "Oh, that fairy dress from before..."
He was talking about the set of [Collapse Snow Cold Fur Coat]. That set of accessories gave Ling Ying a great blessing on that day, allowing her and Shen Xueqi to work together to trap the Purple Thunder Immortal Lord.
He is a genuine immortal, and an immortal king at that.
Ling Ying knew what kind of existence the Immortal Lord was , so she naturally knew how precious the set of [Collapse Snow Cold Fur] that Mo Cheng gave her that day was.
"You keep that one."
Mo Cheng gave away a set of treasure-level accessories without hesitation. "That set itself is cold-attributed equipment, and you happen to be proficient in cold energy, so it's perfect for you to take it."
Before Ling Ying could say no, Mo Cheng continued, "Not to mention that I'm not proficient in cold energy, that skill itself was acquired by me by accident, and..."
Mo Cheng pointed at Ling Ying helplessly, " No matter is women's clothing. There's no way I can wear it."
For Mo Cheng, the other explanations are secondary, the last one is the most important point.
"Besides..." Mo Cheng continued, "You look pretty good in that outfit."
Ling Ying's cheeks flushed, she lowered her head slightly and said softly, "You're too kind."
“I didn’t win any prize.”
Mo Cheng didn't realize that his mouth had once again disconnected from his brain, and he kept talking to himself, "There's a poem as proof. Well, I wrote a new poem after seeing you wearing that outfit."
You might feel guilty the first time you copy a poem, but after copying it a few times, Mo Cheng no longer feels that way.
Walking to the window and looking at the moon, Mo Cheng turned his back to Ling Ying and slowly recited:
"The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze blows over the threshold and the dew is gorgeous."
"If we hadn't met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace."
