Chapter 690: If you don’t take action, it will be too late
The boat is as light as a leaf, creating a brisk water pattern on the Qujiang Pond, just like the mood of the two people on the boat.
Kong Ling'er is the most bookish and intellectually beautiful woman since Wang Zian traveled through time. Not only is she familiar with classics and history, her vision is also first-rate. The most rare thing is that she has a strong ability to accept new things.
.
The two of them chatted quite easily.
At least when Wang Zi'an spoke, he didn't need to consider whether what I said would be a bit ahead of his time or whether it should be transformed into something acceptable to everyone in this era.
The old boatman couldn't understand what the young people in front of him said, but he was very sensible. He just hid in the stern of the boat and rocked his boat quietly, trying not to disturb the interest of the two young people.
Gradually, even Wang Zi'an and Kong Ling'er stopped talking. They stood side by side on the bow of the boat, enjoying this rare quiet time. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the orange-red sunlight was shining down, setting off the
The two of them looked more and more elegant, just like a couple.
This caused many passing ships to look around and cast astonished glances.
What Wang Zi'an and Kong Ling'er didn't know was that while they were standing on the bow admiring the scenery, there was a slightly larger cruise ship floating on the Qujiang Pond with the current.
"Brother Zhongda, look at the two people on the bow over there, are they Ling's granddaughter and the Marquis of Chang'an..."
Zhang Ruosu looked at the pair of figures not far away with a slightly strange look.
"Where, where..."
Upon hearing this, Li Gang, who was leaning against the cabin and taking a nap, suddenly became energetic. He stared around with his old eyes that were a bit drowsy and gossiped.
Soon, his eyes locked on the boat where Wang Zi'an and Kong Ling'er were.
There was no way, the two of them were so outstanding that they were unforgettable at first sight. Even though his eyes were dim now, with Zhang Ruosu's reminder, he could recognize them just by looking at their temperament and figure.
"Tsk——"
Li Gang clicked his tongue, squinted his eyes, glanced at Kong Yingda thoughtfully, stroked his gray beard and praised.
"It's great to be young. I think back then, when I was young, I was as charming and suave as Zian. I don't know how many ladies and beauties I've charmed. To tell you the truth..."
Everyone turned their faces.
Although Li Gang looks like an honest and honest elder in front of outsiders, in private he thinks that this old guy is the least witty and will show off his love affairs that he doesn't know are true or false no matter what.
Anyway, the grass on the grave of my little friend back then has dried up countless times, and I won't jump out to expose his old background.
However, this old guy is always compared to Wang Zi'an, which makes everyone feel a little ashamed.
We don’t know, but it’s not unwise.
Just say you have a shoehorned face. If you are so charming and suave, how can you be so suave?
Li Gang didn't feel dissatisfied with everyone's reaction, but rather enjoyed it.
Now, he is already eighty-three years old. He has nothing else to do but just tease you——
"Yesterday, when I entered the East Palace, I heard from the Crown Prince that a few days ago, the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan came to the East Palace to pay homage to the Crown Prince. In his words, he vaguely wanted to ask His Majesty to marry the princess. It is said that the princess he wanted was the right one.
It’s Princess Yuzhang…”
Looking at the two young people outside, Zhang Ruosu suddenly said something lightly.
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many of those sitting here are old acquaintances with Wang Zi'an, so they naturally know the relationship between Wang Zi'an and Yu Zhang. Then, everyone looked at Kong Yingda in unison.
Kong Yingda:……
"It all depends on what I do. Am I some kind of villain who causes trouble behind my back?"
Kong Yingda was a little angry.
Zhang Ruosu couldn't help but smile as he looked at his old friend who almost broke through.
"What is Zhongda thinking? We naturally believe in your character. We just want to remind you that once the envoy named Lu Dongzan really proposes to His Majesty to marry Princess Yuzhang on behalf of Qi Zanpu, it is likely that Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible.
Determined to complete the marriage between Yu Zhang and Zian ahead of schedule, by then..."
Zhang Ruosu didn't finish what she said, but Kong Yingda understood what these old friends were worried about.
Today, Prince An already has three wives and concubines in his house, one is His Majesty’s eldest daughter, Princess Changle, the other is the legitimate daughter of Su Guo Gong Cheng Yaojin, the current Princess Lin’an is personally named by His Majesty, and there is another
The cold and charming girl Su Su.
If Kong Yingda continues to be scrupulous and hesitant, he may not even be able to get the name of the fourth house in the end.
Unless, he completely makes up his mind and no longer considers this marriage.
But can I really refuse?
When he thought of his granddaughter, who was getting thinner and thinner without thinking about food and tea, he felt depressed in his heart. He regretted why he didn't put down his waist and pay close attention to this marriage, only to be rejected by His Majesty——
Ahem, in short, His Majesty and that shameless old man Cheng Yaojin took advantage of the situation.
He looked at the small boat not far away with complicated eyes. On the small boat, his granddaughter stood side by side with Wang Zi'an, smiling like a flower. How long had it been since he saw his granddaughter smiling so happily?
"Well, thank you Brother Zhang for reminding me. I can save this matter."
Kong Yingda said this, and everyone changed the topic in a smart way. They talked about how a few days later, taking advantage of Xiu Mu's opportunity, they were going to hold a poetry meeting with some old friends at Wangchuan Villa.
The atmosphere on the boat became lively and lively again. Several people even mentioned that some old gentlemen from the Imperial Academy wanted to invite Wang Zian to join them.
"Although Zian is a little younger, his talents and knowledge are top-notch at the time. He will naturally go to such gatherings..."
After Yu Zhining finished speaking, he glanced at the small boat that was gradually moving away in the afterglow of the setting sun, and his tone was a little uncertain.
"It's just that the Marquis of Chang'an may not have time to accompany us old men..."
"Yes, yes, the Marquis of Chang'an may not be available by then..."
Seeing a group of old friends, they all nodded in agreement. Li Gang looked at his old friend who was half asleep, and the old god was in the tunnel.
"What's so difficult about this? Although some of us old guys may not have that face, some of us do..."
After saying that, he stroked his snow-white beard with a smile.
"Perhaps I can enter the palace and invite the Supreme Emperor..."
As soon as Li Gang said this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Yes, as long as the Supreme Emperor comes forward, Prince An will definitely not refuse.
Just when everyone was nodding, Zhang Ruosu suddenly said something leisurely.
"Why should you sacrifice the near and seek the far away? Even if the Supreme Emperor cannot escape, I think the Marquis of Chang'an may not not go there..."
Looking in the direction Zhang Ruosu was looking, everyone suddenly understood and glanced meaningfully at Kong Yingda. Kong Yingda didn't listen to what they said at all. Although the others were on the boat, their hearts had already run outside the boat.
Outside, the afterglow of the setting sun spreads on the sparkling water, rendering Qujiang Pond magnificent and dreamlike, making the two of them look more like a couple of gods and gods.
Suddenly I felt something different in the atmosphere on the boat, and I suddenly came back to my senses.
As a result, I found that everyone was looking at me again...
…
Wang Zi'an didn't know that when he accompanied Kong Ling'er to the lake, he was not only watched by people, but also caught by his own grandfather. He carefully held Kong Ling'er's hand and guided Kong Ling'er.
Return to the shore.
Then, he turned around and handed the old boatman a broken piece of silver with a gentle smile.
"Thank you for your hard work. Even if it's too much, I'll treat you to tea..."
