Zhongli Ruoshui listened quietly, looking up at Li Chenan from time to time, feeling very happy in his heart.
The way she looked at Li Chenan was similar to that of Xiao Baozi.
In Xiao Baozi's eyes, that was the cow she cared about most.
It was a cow that was more important than her life.
In Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes, he is the most perfect man in the world!
It is the love of my life!
However, this man who was respected by all people had to leave the temple in this way for his own sake...
Two years is neither long nor short.
If he had been in the court for two years, the changes in Ningguo would have been even greater.
The people of Ningguo should be able to escape from the current poverty earlier and live a better life like he said.
He missed a whole country because of himself... Zhongli Ruoshui felt apologetic, but knew that he could not change his mind no matter what.
The drizzle is still falling.
Zhongli Ruoshui lowered his head slightly, sipping the tea in the cup and not thinking about anything else——
For example, don’t go to Wu State.
Li Chenan directly rejected her idea.
For example, take advantage of these last two years to give him a child.
But Li Chenan said that Xiao Wu had already told her that before her illness was cured, having sex would only make her die faster, let alone give birth to a child.
Li Chenan also said that even if she gave birth to a child, she might still inherit her disease.
She understood the meaning of inheritance.
So, she had to give up the idea.
She didn't want her and Li Chenan's children to face such a situation and suffer such a sin.
For example, Li Chenan also changed his mind when he originally wanted to visit Guangling City.
Because there is not much time left.
Every day and every moment is precious.
Then we can only go to Wu State without stopping.
However, the hope was so slim. If he still died after these two years of hard work, wouldn't he have wasted two years in vain?
Sigh... Now that I think about it, if I hadn't seen his poem on March 3, what would the situation be like now?
He won't go to Kyoto because of me.
He will still stay in Guangling City.
But his reputation will definitely spread to Kyoto, such as Hua Lao's promotion, his paintings of spring, and of course more poems and articles he wrote.
So, he might also go to Kyoto.
He might also stand on top of a temple.
That's his talent.
Talent that no one can hide.
If that were the case, he would be an official in the court...even if he could not become the regent, he would still be able to make some achievements.
Or maybe he will fall in love with Ning Chuchu.
His future remains bright.
They will be in Kyoto at this time.
Watch the misty rain in early summer on the banks of the Hana River in Kyoto.
Thinking of this, the look on Zhongli Ruoshui's face darkened slightly.
It was hard to see through the mask, but the look in those eyes could not be hidden from Li Chenan's eyes.
He knew she was thinking wildly again.
Li Chenan stretched out his hand, took Zhongli Ruoshui's little hand in his palm, and rubbed it carefully.
"There is ample time!"
"As promised, in the years to come, I will accompany you and Baozi to see the beautiful scenery of this world."
"Don't think about anything right now, we all have to live well."
"Two years is just a blink of an eye. Just like this rain, it will eventually pass and the sun will rise. By then, it will be sunny."
"Just think of this as God's test for us!"
Zhongli Ruoshui took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at Li Chenan and smiled shyly: "I understand the truth, but in my heart... I always feel that I can't overcome this hurdle."
"I know your thoughts. God sent you to me. This is the greatest gift to me."
"Don't force me, life or death... is my destiny."
Li Chenan was about to open his mouth to comfort Zhongli Ruoshui, but Qin Rigang's voice came from behind him:
"Master, Dong Niang has booked a boat and it will set sail around noon... Do you want to have brunch first?"
"Although there is food on the ship, Dong Niang said it is very simple."
"Dong Niang went to the market and said she was going to buy some food. Although she went to the south of the Yangtze River, it took more than half a month. Although she docked at the shore from time to time, the anchorage time was short. The young lady was caught in the cold and it was not suitable to get off the boat and move around. , it’s better to open fire and prepare some food yourself.”
Li Chenan nodded: "Dong Niang is thoughtful."
"Then let's go have something to eat together when she comes back?"
"Master, she said there's no need to wait. She has to put the things on the boat first after she bought something."
"Okay, then the three of us will go have dinner first."
…
…
Noon.
In this light rain.
Li Chenan and the other three came to the berth of the dock and stood by the misty and rainy river.
Li Chenan was in a daze.
Because this river is indeed the Yangtze River!
This is indeed the confluence of two rivers!
This place is called Chaotianmen...
He glanced back. Suddenly grinned.
Of course there are no high-rise buildings.
Been here in a previous life.
There is an iconic hotel in that place.
So, is there any connection between this world and the previous life?
Say it doesn't exist. What's going on here?
You may say it exists, but none of the dynasties from the previous life appeared.
Everything is false.
Only the present is real.
Li Chenan didn't think about it anymore because it was meaningless.
He helped Zhong Li Ruoshui board the passenger ship.
This is a two-story building ship.
The captain is about twenty feet long and the width is about six or seven feet.
There are sails at the front and rear, but there are still oars on the sides of the hull.
Roughly, manpower plus wind power are used to drive the building ship.
Of course it is extremely simple, but this ship is already the best ship on the Yangtze River waterway.
Dong Niang was already on the ship. She welcomed Li Chenan and the others to the deck and climbed to the second floor.
On the second floor are two rows of small rooms, which are the guest rooms.
Dong Niang booked the two rooms at the front, "Master, Madam, you can rest for a while in the room, or you can take a breather on the deck."
"good."
Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui did not enter the room. They came to the deck on the second floor.
An oil-paper umbrella and two people leaning on each other.
They just looked at the Yangtze River, and they were about to leave Shuzhou to find that glimmer of hope.
Before long, the boat became lively.
Many people got on board.
Someone also came to the second floor, making a creaking sound when stepping on the wooden floor.
"Brother Xiang, you are in room A, number three."
"Okay, we are all next to each other, so we won't be lonely along the way... Hey, Mr. Yao, which room are you in?"
"I'm in Room A, No. 6."
"Okay, now that we've settled in, let's go set up a table on the deck, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River in the rain, and enjoy the painting screen spring I brought!"
A different voice came:
"Brother Xiang, look, there are two people on the deck."
"Oh... they should be a couple going to Jiangnan Road for business... Since we are on the same boat, we are destined to have a drink with them later!"
"good!"
Zhongli Ruoshui did not hear those conversations.
She was immersed in this misty river scene, and she was recalling the scenes of the past.
Suddenly, she turned to look at Li Chenan and asked:
"You said...where will Sister Xiao be at this time?"
