The wheelchair was broken and shattered into a pile of rotten wood.
Yu Zhi carried Li Wantong on his back and walked on the bluestone road in the alley. The moss on the roadside was stained with white frost, which looked a bit unique. There were many sparrows standing under the eaves on both sides, chirping. Or the two disturbed the tranquility of the birds, and the birds fled one after another,
Li Wantong put his hands around Yu Zhi's neck and rested his blushing face on Yu Zhi's shoulder. Although she has read many books and understands many truths, the little deer in the girl's heart cannot be read from the books.
Yu Zhi smelled a faint fragrance, like the fragrance of pear blossoms, fresh and elegant, which made people couldn't help but smell it a few more times. But where are the pear blossoms blooming nearby?
Yu Zhi knew in his heart that the fragrance of pear blossoms came from the person behind it.
"Tong'er, did you put on some rouge?"
"No."
Yu Zhi said "Oh" with a smile on his lips. He knew the source of the fragrance even more.
"Tong'er, you don't need to put on rouge anymore."
"Why?" Li Wantong was confused. She rarely uses rouge, but what girl doesn't love beauty?
Yu Zhi said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's my Tong'er. She is naturally beautiful. Why do we need such mundane things to decorate her?"
"Bah, you are the only one who has such a sweet mouth." Li Wantong spat, "There are so many women in the world, many of them more beautiful than me."
"I don't care. In my heart, Tong'er is the most beautiful. The first is the most beautiful... No, you are the second."
Hearing this, Li Wantong was not angry. If it were anyone else, and his sweetheart was only second, he would definitely want to get to the bottom of it and ask for the reason. She just asked curiously: "If I am ranked second, who is first?"
Yu Zhi rubbed his nose and said, "The first place goes to my aunt."
"Aunt Li Qingru?"
"Yes. Although I feel in my heart that Tong'er is the most beautiful, my aunt will definitely be unhappy if she is stingy. Tong'er, you should be more generous and don't be as knowledgeable as your aunt."
Li Qingru, who was far away in Tiandao Mountain, asked the academy: "Hey, why is it so cold today? I don't know how Yu Zhi's trip to the north is going."
Yu Zhi carried Li Wantong on his back and walked steadily but also slowly. I hope from the bottom of my heart that I can keep going like this.
"By the way. Why did you call me...my fiancée in Tianshui Tower?"
"I was in a hurry, and I made a slip of the tongue." On weekdays, Yu Zhi was used to taking advantage of his words, so he said these words smoothly.
"Don't say that again. You and I..."
Yu Zhi interrupted: "Sooner or later, you will be called like this. Tong'er, you can only marry me in this life. I will rely on you."
"You...are such a scoundrel."
"Hmph, a scoundrel is a scoundrel. Who let you fall into my hands?"
Li Wantong lay on Yu Zhi's back, hugged Yu Zhi tighter with his jade arms, and opened his red lips lightly. "Yu Zhi, after we return to Beijing, you can go to my house to propose marriage, okay?"
The soft breath penetrated into Yu Zhi's ears, which made her feel a little itchy.
When he said the last few words, Li Wantong's voice was already as thin as a mosquito.
In Yu Zhi's heart, the sound of these words is like the gurgling water after the ice melts in spring.
"Tong'er, I will definitely go." Yu Zhi was serious as ever, "I will definitely use the best treasure of time to marry you."
"Um!"
Li Wantong buried his head on Yu Zhi's shoulder.
So shameful, why am I so shameless?
Fortunately, Yu Zhi agreed.
"very nice."
"Huh? Tong'er, what did you say?"
"I said it's great to meet you."
Yu Zhi chuckled, and then said softly: "Me too."
In an unknown alley in Tianshui City, a boy and a girl made a lifelong promise.
The soft words will echo in the hearts of both of them forever.
Li Wantong once lived in the mountains outside Kyoto since she was a child. A girl, an old servant, and a few bamboo huts were all she had. She also wanted to return to Kyoto, to the powerful prime minister's palace, to reunite with her relatives.
But after more than ten years of searching for famous doctors, my legs, which had no feeling, still had no feeling.
She gradually gave up chasing that glimmer of hope. The Prime Minister's Mansion would not accept a disabled person, just like back then, they sent her out of Kyoto and into the mountains.
Just when Li Wantong thought she could only live in the wilderness for the rest of her life, this young man broke into her world.
The boy took her to see the most beautiful fireworks that winter.
The boy said he wanted to cure her legs and took her north to seek medical treatment.
Before he died, the young man stood in front of her and hugged her.
The boy...he brought her countless joys and touches.
The scenes flashed through her eyes like a revolving lantern, and all that appeared were the figure and face of the young man.
In just a short period of time, she also carved the boy into her heart.
Therefore, in this still cold season, Li Wantong was willing to hand over the rest of his life to this young man.
What a boring yet touching story.
Back at the inn, the girl saw Yu Zhi carrying Li Wantong on his back, but the wheelchair was missing. She accused Yu Zhi of deliberately losing his wheelchair to take advantage of the young lady.
The two looked at each other, just listening to the girl's chatter, with tenderness and sweetness in their eyes.
Seeing this, Lao Huang, who came over, drank wine, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It's over, the young lady has been completely taken over by this boy."
Wang Dafu watched this scene happily and said, "Old Huangtou, don't worry, Master Xiao Yu is a good man."
Good guy? I don't believe it...Old Huang looked at Yu Zhi with his eyes. The words Yu Zhi said still echoed in Lao Huang's mind.
Mr. Xiang, if it were really you, you would be too cruel!
...
In Kyoto, in the house with the paint peeling off the door, Li Xiuyuan threw the letter in his hand into the stove and watched the writing on the letter burn into ashes little by little.
Li Xiuyuan is a cautious person. In the officialdom, despite decades of ups and downs, he was able to sit in the position of prime minister because of his caution.
Don't make mistakes, you can't make mistakes, even if you make mistakes, you can't be discovered.
This is Li Xiuyuan's way of becoming an official.
It is said that there is countless embezzled money hidden in this dilapidated house. Only Li Xiuyuan knows that it is true. But these countless pieces of silver will never be discovered by outsiders.
Then these embezzled money are not mistakes.
Mistakes that are not discovered and mistakes that are covered up are not mistakes.
Li Xiuyuan is also a good-looking person.
Back then, he had Li Wantong, who was born with a disease, sent out of the Prime Minister's Mansion because he didn't want to recognize his granddaughter anymore.
How can a person with disabled legs get in and out of the prime minister's house?
Until the letter paper in the stove turned into gray-white ashes, Li Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze.
"You were born with a disease and have been hard-working since childhood. If you heal your legs and come back to the prime minister's house, wouldn't it mean that you would be stigmatized for abandoning your granddaughter?"
"The Prime Minister has repeatedly warned me not to have contact with outsiders, for fear of being approached by someone with intentions. If I don't kill you, the Prime Minister's reputation will be destroyed, and countless political opponents will seize the opportunity to attack the Prime Minister."
"I should have killed you in the first place! Wan Tong, don't blame grandpa. This is all for the Li family."
