Chapter 79: Flower Pavilion
The sky is slightly blue, and the distant mountains are like dark blue.
There is a pavilion three miles outside the east gate of Guangling City, named Huajian Pavilion.
May is the season for blooming flowers, and the fields on both sides of the Huajian Pavilion are filled with many unknown wild flowers.
A carriage stopped in front of Huajian Pavilion.
A beautiful girl walked out of a carriage, walked to the flower pavilion, and looked at the young man in green who was standing in the pavilion.
The young man held a small yellow flower that had just been picked. He placed the flower on the girl's head very naturally. The girl bowed her head shyly, and the small flower swayed slightly.
It seemed like it had come alive.
He seemed very happy.
Zhongli Ruoshui raised his head and looked at Li Chenan with a tender expression.
"If love lasts for a long time, how can we live together day and night?"
"Li Lang, wait for me to come back!"
"Well, remember to write when you go to Kyoto. If I don't receive a letter from you in half a month... I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and go to Kyoto to find you."
Zhongli Ruoshui's face turned red, and he glanced at Li Chenan, "You have never left Guangling City, but if I really didn't write a letter, would you really go to Kyoto to find me?"
Li Chenan nodded, "Of course, you are the boss of our brewery. If the boss disappears, how will the business continue?"
Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes widened, "Just for this?"
"Of course not," he stretched out his hand and took Zhongli Ruoshui's little hand, "Before I met you, I originally thought of selling some drinks in that tavern to spend my whole life."
"Actually, I am not a person with big ideals, especially in this life."
"I even planned my future when I opened the bistro."
Zhongli Ruoshui asked curiously: "What is the future you want?"
"It's very simple. I just make some money through the tavern, and then... the world is huge, so I go around."
"Go to other cities in Ningguo, or go to surrounding countries to explore the exotic customs."
"If you feel tired, just stay in a city you like and continue to open a tavern, like this... for the rest of your life."
Perhaps it was Li Chenan's casual and open-minded character that attracted Zhongli Ruoshui. She had seen many young men with lofty ambitions and profound knowledge. What she saw in them was the hardship of their climb and the cruelty of intrigues.
Even for an entity as high as Duke Cheng's Mansion, Cheng Zhe must follow the path envisioned by his grandfather.
He has no other choice.
Grandma said that people living in the world are like snails carrying a heavy shell.
That shell may be for fame and fortune, for the prosperity of the family, or for living a good life.
Li Chenan is different from those teenagers.
He may have a heavy burden on his shoulders, but there are no shackles under his feet. At least he walks very briskly.
"But after all you know me, will you feel that I have become your bond?"
"Of course not, I still have to thank you.".o
Zhongli Ruoshui raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to thank me for?"
"You make me feel that I am cared about in this world!"
"When you have care, you will think about building a family. When you have a family, you will feel that you have roots. You will no longer be the duckweed of the past, floating everywhere with the wind."
"If I fight for this family and protect this family from wind and rain, I don't think it's a troublesome thing, but I feel very happy."
Zhongli Ruoshui lowered her head shyly. She remembered something that the fourth princess Ning Chuchu once told her.
Ning Chuchu said that on March 3rd, in the Yanyu Pavilion in Pingtung, Li Chenan blurted out half of the poem.
She still remembers that word:
Life is just like the catkins before the wind,
Joy is sporadic, sadness is sporadic,
All of them are Lian Jiang and Diandian Ping.
This is a true portrayal of his inner self.
This person almost missed it like that.
Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate.
She raised her head and looked at Li Chenan, "I never thought you could become a towering tree, because that would make you very tired and unfair to you."
"Anyway... whether it's a tavern or a brewery, it's better if you can make money. It doesn't matter if you can't."
"The important thing is that you have a good time in Guangling City, and don't do the stupid thing like that at Zhuoyu Xiaozhu again!"
"Um."
"I'll take Jianwu away, and Mr. Wu will stay with you. If you have any troublesome issues, you can ask Mr. Wu to help you solve it."
"good."
"After I go to Kyoto, grandma will make the decision for us. Don't worry, I should be back soon."
The two of them talked endlessly in the Huajian Pavilion, and most of these words were Zhongli Ruoshui's instructions to Li Chenan.
Zhongli Ruoshui knew very well what kind of trouble Li Chenan's wine would face after it was launched on the market.
She could have gone directly to the Huo family to solve this problem, but her father stopped her.
Because her father believed that the uncle of Zhongli Mansion must be able to withstand this small setback.
This is also a test for Li Chenan from his father.
After thinking for a long time, Zhongli Ruoshui also figured it out.
If Wu Xichen stays with Li Chenan, then at least Li Chenan's life will not be threatened.
As for the final showdown between his newly named Peach Blossom Wine and the Huo Family's Guangling Powder, it would be better to win, but if they lose... it's still what she once said to the fourth princess Ning Chuchu:
She, Zhongli Ruoshui, is from a wealthy family!
She has more money to her name than she can spend in her lifetime!
She can really support Li Chenan for a lifetime!
Even that's what she wanted.
It's not a good thing for a man to be too busy outside.
With so many entertainments and so many temptations, if you meet a vixen and have sex after drinking... wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Of course she didn't say these words to Li Chenan. She was worried that it would make Li Chenan feel inferior, but she didn't know that if she really said it, Li Chenan would really be able to eat this bowl of soft rice with peace of mind.
Another lady got out of the carriage in front.
She is Zhongli Ruoshui's mother.
This time she not only had to accompany her daughter to Kyoto, she also received a letter from Concubine Ji.
For her, her daughter was young and was blinded by Li Chenan's sweet words. How could she know that marrying the second prince would be a good idea!
She raised her eyes at Huajianting and frowned, with disgust in her eyes because Li Chenan was too close to her daughter.
She walked over and stepped into the Huajian Pavilion.
"It's time to go! You go to the car first."
"……mother!"
"Mom asked you to get to the car first!"
Zhongli Ruoshui pursed her lips, and Li Chenan comforted her: "Remember, if love lasts for a long time, it won't last forever."
Zhongli Ruoshui laughed, took two steps back, and waved goodbye to Li Chenan.
She turned around and walked towards the carriage, feeling at peace in her heart. The small goose-yellow flower on her head was swaying in the morning breeze.
Mrs. Zhongli stood in front of Li Chenan. She looked at Li Chenan and her face became cold:
"You are not a fool as the common people say, you are a smart man."
"You can use Mrs. Shiben of Zhongli Mansion to forgive you. Even after your wine is on the market, I can even say hello to the Huo family."
"But I hope that you can understand your identity, run your business well and be prosperous for the rest of your life, and put an end to those unrealistic thoughts!"
"otherwise……"
She turned around and took a step toward the outside of the pavilion.
"That's it, you can take care of yourself!"
She walked outside the pavilion.
Li Chen looked at her back and showed a smile: "Madam, I would not marry anyone other than Ruoshui!"
Mrs. Zhongli paused, "You are still that fool!"
