Chapter 131 A boat by the river
Li Xiaoyao gently stretched his body, exhaled a long breath, and said with a crooked smile: "When the second brother and the fourth brother also get married, half of my wish will be fulfilled!"
Princess Ning was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. She said this in a hurry, why did she get to this point?
Li Xiaoyao looked at Princess Ning cautiously and said with a smile, "I'm still young anyway. It's not too late to think about finding a family after I'm twenty years old. Then I'll ask Princess Ning to help me find a good family. Don't ask for help."
I don’t want wealth, as long as he treats me well, doesn’t dislike me, and doesn’t bully me!”
Princess Ning laughed out loud and pointed at Li Xiaoyao: "You girl, you are always talking about getting married and looking for someone to marry, and you are not shy about it. Really! What can I say about you?"
Li Xiaoyao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he spread his hands and said, "I'm very shy. The princess didn't notice it!"
Princess Ning burst out laughing at what Li Xiaoyao said. She laughed for a long time before she stopped laughing. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She took a few sips of the tea handed over by Li Xiaoyao and looked at Li Xiaoyao.
, "Since there is such a saying that we don't seek wealth or honor, I won't say more. It's just that you can't do it after you are twenty years old. You are really an old girl. Although we in Peiping don't marry as early as Wu Guo, we can.
For girls, it’s time to get married at the age of nineteen or twenty. If you wait until you’re twenty before you look for someone, you’ll have to wait until you find a good wife to return the favor. How old are you?”
"What the princess said is, thank you for the advice, princess. This is all for my own good, and Xiaoyao has taken note of it." Li Xiaoyao sat down with a calm face and thanked her solemnly.
Princess Ning patted Li Xiaoyao's shoulder gently, smiled and said nothing further. The two of them changed the subject in a tacit understanding and chatted about other things.
After dinner, Li Xiaoyao said goodbye and came out. Lu Feng followed Su Zicheng to the second door.
Li Xiaoyao saw Lu Feng and winked at him. Lu Feng understood and hesitated, watching Su Zicheng get on the horse. After turning the corner and losing sight of him, the two of them jumped into the car. Li Xiaoyao pushed Lu Feng.
He whispered: "Let's find a quiet place with a nice view to have a drink."
"Quiet and beautiful? Let me think about it... Yes, there is a restaurant on the Guo River outside the city. There are boats, big boats and small boats. In spring and summer, the boat can be moored on the shore or swing into the river.
, the prepared dishes were sent up in a small boat. At this moment, the cold weather closed the river, and the boat was moored on the shore..."
"That's right there!" Li Xiaoyao interrupted Lu Feng before he could finish his words and expressed his agreement. Lu Feng opened the curtain and ordered the driver, and the car went through the alley and headed out of Ximen Exit.
Su Zicheng got off his horse in front of Prince Liang's Mansion, went straight into the outer study, took the cloak inside, and told Nanning: "Let Xiaowu come when she comes."
Nanning agreed with ease, took a few steps back and went to the door to guard Li Xiaoyao.
After driving in the car for a while, Li Xiaoyao and Lu Feng arrived in front of a wine shop next to Guo River.
The restaurant was built like a courtyard of a wealthy family. Two or three young men in clean clothes had already rushed towards the gate. They stepped forward to help the horse lead, lifted the curtain, and politely let Lu Feng and Li
Xiaoyao got out of the car.
Lu Feng did not enter the courtyard gate, but walked to the Guo River in a familiar way, and ordered: "Tell Xu Dangtou to cook some game carefully, and ask someone to catch some fish in the river. Others
If there are any fresh dishes, I will send you a few more, and the wine will be pear blossom white and cloudy rice wine."
The boy who was following closely wrote them down one by one and ran back to deliver the message.
Lu Feng took Li Xiaoyao and picked a boat on the far side.
Li Xiaoyao stood on the bow of the boat and looked around. This was really a good place. Except for the hotel-like restaurant, everything was empty. The wide Guo River was covered with thick ice and shone softly in the weak sunlight.
In the light, the black trees in the distance are dotted with white snow. Occasionally, a few unknown birds fly past. They stop on the dead black trees and call loudly, then flap their wings and fly away again.
Li Xiaoyao stretched out his arms and praised Lu Feng with satisfaction: "This place is great! You are the best at having fun here."
Lu Feng had already walked around the cabin and came out. He stood next to Li Xiaoyao and looked around with her with his hands behind his back. "I knew you would like it here. The river was not frozen when I came here last time.
It’s a unique experience to swim in the middle of the river at night and look at the moon. Let’s come back next spring!”
"Okay!" Li Xiaoyao agreed simply, and the two of them stood on the bow of the boat and watched the scenery for a while. The river breeze was blowing, and they gradually felt the chill coming up. Li Xiaoyao wrapped his cloak tightly, stamped his feet and said with a smile, "No way.
, I’m freezing to death, let’s go in.”
The two entered the cabin. The four corners of the cabin had been heated with charcoal pots. Two middle-aged women in green clothes and skirts were squatting in a corner of the cabin. One was busy boiling water, scalding cups, and preparing to make tea.
He was carefully scooping the wine from the jar into a fat belly wine jug and scalding it in hot water.
The cabin is very spacious and sparkling clean. There is a low couch on the side of the river. The couch is covered with thick cushions. In the middle is a boxwood table that is only much wider than the ordinary couch. Four small dishes have been placed on the table.
dessert.
Li Xiaoyao stood in front of the charcoal basin and toasted his hands, took off his cloak, took a sip of the hot tea handed to him by the woman, took off his shoes and sat on the couch.
Not long after, two boys brought a few dishes in suitcases. The woman took them and put them on the table. Then she put the hot wine on the table, and the two of them retreated to the back cabin.
Lu Feng and Li Xiaoyao had just finished their meal and ignored the dishes. They each held their own wine bottles and cups, talking and drinking.
Lu Feng drank several glasses of wine, took a breath, looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked with a smile: "Who made you unhappy?"
"No." Li Xiaoyao replied dully: "No one messes with me. The weather is bad and I am in a bad mood."
"What's wrong with this day? The sun is shining beautifully."
"Well, it's just that the sun is shining so brightly that I'm in a bad mood." Li Xiaoyao opened the window further and squinted his eyes to look at the silent and majestic Kaiping Mansion City Wall on the other side of the river.
Lu Feng came over and looked at Li Xiaoyao carefully, and asked with a hint of care: "What's the matter? What's upsetting you?"
Li Xiaoyao slowly sipped the wine and sighed. He turned back, looked at Lu Feng and said sadly: "It's nothing, I just feel lonely. It's okay. Let's have a drink."
Lu Feng looked at Li Xiaoyao carefully, thought for a moment, said nothing, and raised his cup towards Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao drank several cups of hot rice wine. His stomach felt warm and he felt more comfortable. He looked at Lu Feng and smiled and said, "In addition to becoming the best in the world, you have other plans in the future."
No?"
"Other plans? What plans? Does traveling around the world count?"
"Forget it! If you want to know how to be the best in the world, you have to travel around the world first." Li Xiaoyao took a sip of rice wine and his eyes curled up with laughter. Lu Feng felt uneasy when he heard her mention the matter of being the best.
He waved his hand and asked Li Xiaoyao: "What about you? What are your plans? You can't be a staff member in Prince Liang's Mansion for the rest of your life, right?"
"Well, I don't plan to do this for the rest of my life." Li Xiaoyao finished the wine in the glass and poured another glass.
She felt very clear at the moment, as clear as she had ever felt before. She couldn't help but laugh, but her vision was a little confused.
Li Xiaoyao tried to look out the window and saw four or five people not far from the ship, wielding pickaxes to hit the ice. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly jumped forward to the window rail and pointed at the ice with the cup in his hand.
Several people on the scene shouted: "What are those people doing? Are you stupid! Why don't you hit yourself under the ice like this? Your life will be lost!"
"We're catching fish, we're catching them and cooking them now. Look, that one! The one that just jumped up! What a big fish!" Lu Feng also came to the window, looked out and shouted.
Li Xiaoyao squinted his eyes, as if he saw fish in a trance, but the ice surface was so bright that his eyes were dazzled.
Li Xiaoyao breathed out, retracted his hand to take back the glass, took two more sips, pushed Lu Feng to sit back, looked at him, and said seriously: "I don't plan to be his staff for the rest of my life! I don't want to be a concubine for anyone either.
No one can be a concubine! Once she becomes a concubine, she becomes a thing, no matter how good she is, she is still a thing. Do you understand?"
Lu Feng blinked a few times quickly. Who wants to take her as a concubine? Who else!
A burst of angry sourness rushed straight to his head from the bottom of his heart. Lu Feng snorted angrily. Seeing that Li Xiaoyao was about to speak, Li Xiaoyao raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. He shook the glass and signaled to Lu
Feng gave her some wine.
Lu Feng added half a cup to her. Li Xiaoyao shook the cup and couldn't stop laughing when he saw Lu Feng. He laughed and said: "I tell you, in my life, Ning Yu will not be broken into pieces, so why should I wrong myself?"
?!Don’t you think so? I don’t care about anyone!
I am an orphan now, oh! It doesn’t matter. I have an eldest brother, a water born brother, and Erhuai and Guizi. They used to love me the most. I have thought about it. I will make money well. I will make a lot of money.
Big Brother, Shuisheng Brother, Erhuai Brother, Guizi Brother, and... are there any more!
Well, and myself, if I earn enough money, they all get married and have families, and then I can go and travel around the world, sit comfortably in a car, take the money, and travel around the world, you go to Huitoupai, I will go
Looking for famous people, maybe we can find a companion. We can play wherever we go, live wherever we like, and when we die, we can be buried wherever we die. Someone once said, we will be buried wherever we die.
Me! That’s all I am! Look, this day is like a fairy!”
Li Xiaoyao talked and laughed, but the more Lu Feng listened, the more uncomfortable he became. When he heard "Bury me if you die," a strong sadness suddenly surged in his heart. He reached out and took the cup from Li Xiaoyao's hand, and said with a forced smile:
"You are drunk and talking nonsense. How can your elder brother and Shuisheng be willing to let you travel around the world?"
"I can't let it go now. I will let it go once I get married. When they...look at the eldest brother, there is also Brother Erhuai. The eldest brother only has Mrs. Fan in his eyes, and Erhuai only has Sister Zhang in his heart. When they have children, how can they
