"Miss, where are you going now?"
"Go to...the palace!"
"What are you doing in the palace?"
"Go and see the Fourth Princess!"
Lin Xueer didn't know why the young lady was going to see the fourth princess at this time. She was very panicked and confused. Only then did she know why the young lady wanted to be quiet when she came.
But she doesn't want to be quiet now.
Because such silence frightened her.
"Divine Doctor Sun said there will be a solution."
"I know, but those methods are all too slim."
Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Lin Xueer. After knowing the truth, she calmed down, and the strength in her bones naturally emerged.
"Since ancient times, beauties have always had a bad fate. In fact, I should have died long ago... I should have died that winter when I was ten years old."
"Grandpa Sun pulled me back from the hands of the King of Hell, and God gave me another five years of life."
"I've been very happy these five years."
"But the happiest thing is this year."
"God still favors me. He sent Chen'an to me."
"You once asked me what I liked about him...Actually, I couldn't tell you at that time. But now I know!"
Zhongli Ruoshui opened the curtain and looked at the bright moon in the night sky. Her face was filled with bright moonlight, which made her even more beautiful, the kind of beauty where regret and joy are intertwined.
No one has seen this kind of beauty, and even if someone has seen it, they can't describe it in words.
If I had to use a metaphor, it would be like the lilies on the cliff with raindrops under the rainbow after the rain in the mountain stream.
"I love smelling him."
"I like his wicked smile."
"I also like his calm temperament...and of course his incredible talent!"
"Sometimes I always think about a question, can people really change so much? So I often feel a little confused, always feeling that this Li Chenan is not the same person as the rumored Li Chenan!"
"The thought-provoking words he said, the addictive wine he brewed, and his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything... I always felt that he was not from this world!"
"He was sent to me by God!"
"I wake up secretly laughing in my dreams."
"but now……"
The smile on Zhongli Ruoshui's face gradually faded, and her expression became lonely again, and then withered like the lily.
She closed the car curtain and shut out the moonlight.
In any case, she is just a young girl with haircut hair. She will only turn sixteen this winter.
She is in her flowering season and is in the happiest time of a girl's life.
Ever since she met Li Chenan in Guangling City, ever since she fell in love with Li Chenan inexplicably one day, the girl's heart has been sweeter than honey every day.
There were more smiles on her face than ever before, and even the peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Villa felt more beautiful than in previous years.
That's what it feels like to be in love.
She seemed to have quietly changed a lot for him.
For example, she restrained her originally uncouth behavior and pretended to be weak in front of Li Chenan.
For Li Chenan, she even acted out an assassination plot.
For example, in the past, she was not restless and stayed more at Peach Blossom Villa, but later in order to see Li Chenan, she often went to that tavern.
Then it was as she wished.
Li Chenan also fell in love with her.
So, the two of them stayed together in Peach Blossom Villa and in the tavern under the banyan tree in Erjinggou Alley.
She doesn't care about Li Chenan's life experience, just as she said to Ning Chuchu——
As long as he has me in his heart, that's enough.
I am from a wealthy family, and after I get married to him, the Li family will also be a wealthy family!
In her plan, after the trip to Kyoto was over and the two returned to Guangling City, Li Chenan would invite his father to Zhongli Mansion to propose marriage.
As for her mother's obstacles, she thought they would be solved after meeting her grandma in Kyoto.
Because the entire Dingguo Hou Mansion loved her, and grandma even more!
Grandma will make the decision for herself, and the matter with Li Chenan is like a nail in the coffin.
It should have been as solid as ironclad.
Even if her mother really wanted to object, she had even made plans to elope with Li Chenan.
Just like what she said to her mother, even if I leave Zhongli Mansion, what does it matter?
But now she knows that her grandma didn't ask her to come to Kyoto because of Li Chenan.
It's about your own body.
How could it become like this?
Everything was shattered in the girl's heart at this moment.
After experiencing the past, the girl's tears finally flowed out uncontrollably in the dark carriage.
"Miss……!"
Lin Xueer felt Zhongli Ruoshui's twitching, and she quickly held Zhongli Ruoshui's shoulders, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
"I'm fine, just a little bit unwilling!"
Zhongli Ruoshui took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on his face, then sat up straight, "Remember, don't reveal anything about me in front of Chen An!"
"Especially your demeanor. You have to be the same as before. He is very sensitive. He will definitely notice if you act strange."
"I don't want him to worry."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival is very important. You must not let anything go wrong because of me!"
"After the Mid-Autumn Festival... we will return to Guangling City."
"I'll go to the Fourth Princess's house later, so don't say anything. As for what the Fourth Princess and I talked about, remember that what you hear... will rot in your stomach!"
Lin Xueer lowered her head, "I understand."
The carriage arrived in front of the palace. Zhongli Ruoshui showed the waist card that Ning Chuchu had given her, and the guards let her in.
However, when she arrived at the fourth princess's mansion, she could not see Ning Chuchu.
Even the maids in the princess's mansion don't know where the fourth princess went tonight.
Zhongli Ruoshui left a message and invited the four princesses to meet them tomorrow at the Huaxi Villa.
She left the palace, got on the carriage, and headed towards Huaxi Villa.
No one knew that Ning Chuchu went to the headquarters of Lijing Division.
Tonight, she is going to take the experts from the Rei Mirror Division to the Huo Mansion in Kyoto to do something big!
…
…
Huaxi Villa.
A lantern was lit in the pavilion.
The first and second floors of the west building are both dark. Li Chenan has not returned from the banquet at Cheng Guogong's mansion. Did he bring Amu with him?
Zhongli Ruoshui sat in the pavilion, holding his chin with his hands, and suddenly his eyes widened. Only then did he see that the originally beautiful lotus pond under the moonlight had become completely unrecognizable!
"What happened again?"
"Xue'er, go ask Xiong Da and the others."
"Slave, please go ask the kitchen to make some food for the young lady."
"No, I'm not hungry."
"……All right!"
Lin Xueer held a lantern and headed outside the courtyard. Zhongli Ruoshui thought for a moment, and then also held a lantern and went to the second floor of the east building.
She took out a wooden box from a cabinet.
She carried the wooden box to the desk, opened it, took out the contents one by one and placed them on the desk.
These are her family properties that she has purchased over the years!
There are many land deeds, many house deeds, and many banknotes from the Eight Blessings Bank!
She sat in front of the desk and picked up the title deed of the Huaxi Villa. "This must be given to Chen An, otherwise he won't have a place to stay in Kyoto."
She then picked up the land deeds for the shops on Yuping Street, "These must also be given to Chen An. In the future, his wine will be sold to Kyoto. These shops are in need."
"Juxian Pavilion...he will have many social events in Kyoto in the future, so I have to give them to him."
"Shui Yunjian, he really likes drinking tea and also likes to be clean, so I still have to give it to him."
"As for these banknotes, if Ning Chuchu really gets married to him, he will definitely not watch Ning Chuchu worry about Lijing Division. Lijing Division needs a lot of silver, and with these banknotes, he will not have to worry about money. If he has to worry about other things, his life will be easier."
Moonlight poured in from the window, and the girl took out two letters and a piece of paper from the bottom of the wooden box.
Unfold the piece of paper and lay it on the desk.
This piece of paper contains not very pretty words, but it contains the best poem in her heart!
This was written by Li Chenan to her when she left Guangling City.
The title of the poem is "Magpie Bridge Immortal".
"The thin clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man travels far away in secret.
When golden wind and jade dew meet,
He will win but there are countless people in the world.
Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can't help but look at the Magpie Bridge on the way home.
If love lasts for a long time,
How can it be day and night? "
"If our love lasts for a long time, how can we live together day and night... But now, I only strive for this day and night. Even if I can stay with you for one more day, it is still good."
She opened another letter.
The letter still had unattractive writing, but she smiled and thought the writing was very nice.
This is Li Chenan's reply to her letter.
There is also a poem in the letter that she likes very much.
The title of the poem is "One Cut Plum"!
"The fragrance of red lotus root lingers in the jade mat in autumn.
He undressed Luo Shang lightly and boarded the orchid boat alone.
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book?
When the wild goose returns, the moon is full on the west tower.
The flowers float and the water flows.
One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow.
There is no way to eliminate this feeling,
Only under the brow, but our hearts. "
There really is no way to eliminate this feeling!
There are three people in the world who know this poem, they are Chen Zhe, Qi Zhixue and Ning Chuchu!
I still remember that Ning Chuchu happened to be there when I received this letter. I recited this poem to them like a treasure, and even said to Ning Chuchu that if you really begged the emperor, I really don’t have any objections, but... …There comes a time when you have to call me sister!
It was originally a joke, but now... I can't even think of this as my sister.
In this letter, Chen An also said that after the peaches in Peach Blossom Villa are harvested, he will use those peaches to brew a peach wine for himself.
He said it was a kind of wine that could be used to cool down the heat, and it would be better if it was chilled.
He had never expected to come to Kyoto. Those peaches were already ripe, and they were probably rotten in the ground.
The only way to drink the iced peach wine he mentioned is next autumn!
Next autumn!
The girl looked desolate and looked at the night sky outside the window with her chin propped up.
The night sky is beautiful, with a full moon and stars.
But they all seemed lonely.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until next autumn."
"If you can still remember me...sprinkle that wine on my grave!"
