A faint smile appeared on Pei Yuanxiu's face, and he turned to Wu Yanqiu and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wu."

"Don't dare."

Wu Yanqiu said these two words and looked at him carefully. Under everyone's gaze, he waved his hand gently, and immediately walked up behind him and walked forward to take the gift boxes.

He smiled and said, "Thank you to your master for me."

"I dare not," Wu Yanqiu said respectfully, and then continued: "Actually, the master has something to ask for."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"The master is very happy to travel to Yangzhou with Miss Li today. I hope I will have such an opportunity again."

“…”

"So, tomorrow, the host hopes to invite the lady to cross the river and travel to Yangzhou again."

“…”

Pei Yuanxiu and I were both silent.

For a moment, my heart was tugged.

Pei Yuanhao, you still have to cross the river with his son and get together with him for another day?

Although this requirement is really understandable for a father. I have been separated from Li'er for many years, and I can fully understand his desire and love for his daughter, but I still have to let Li'er cross the river, let her leave my side, and let her be with Pei Yuanhao?

When I thought of the fact that I could not see a boat coming from Yangzhou just now, and I was worried that Li'er would be taken away by him and would never be able to meet again, I felt so anxious that I felt as if I was scratching my heart.

This time, Pei Yuanxiu did not say anything, but looked at me.

Obviously, on this issue, he seemed to understand that he had the right to accept it, but could not refuse a father's request.

But what should I do?

Accept it or refuse it?

At this moment, I was completely confused, and I didn't even have room to judge and think about pros and cons. I just looked down at Li'er's eyes, which were as bright as stars.

After a while of silence, I asked, "Li'er, do you still want to go?"

She blinked and immediately wanted to say something, but opened her mouth but didn't make a sound immediately. Instead, she looked at me and then Pei Yuanxiu. After a while, she said, "Mom, Dad, you are sure to go to Li'er, just go to Li'er."

“…”

After she said this, I didn't know how to make a decision.

Pei Yuanxiu, who has been with me, also seemed to be in a turmoil. This incident was obviously beyond my expectations and he and I didn't expect that Pei Yuanhao did not plan to return to the capital immediately. According to his current state, he would at least stay in Yangzhou for a while.

Why?

For the sake of leaving the child?

Or, he has any other intentions?

Seeing that the word "chuan" had already frowned between my eyebrows, but could not respond for a long time, Wu Yanqiu smiled and said, "The master said that, I am afraid that the young master and his wife will not be able to consider it in a hurry. Why don't you think about it carefully tonight? Tomorrow, the lower officials will still wait for the Miss Leave at the dock."

“…”

I didn't say anything, Pei Yuanxiu said, "What if Li'er doesn't come?"

"That is, the officials are not good at doing things well and have no other interests."

Having said that, it is already obvious that Pei Yuanhao wants to meet Li'er for another day, but he did not force anyone to force him to make this request. Whether he agrees or not is all up to us.

After realizing this, Pei Yuanxiu and I subconsciously looked at each other, and then looked at the ship that was sending Li'er back.

Pei Yuanhao, is this kind of person?

Is he the person who only makes demands but waits for others to make decisions?

No, he has never been. He is born a ruling. Only he can judge others' right and wrong, right and wrong, and only he can make the decision to give or seize. How could he give us the right to judge himself and let us make a judgment on whether Li Er and him will be together for another day.

But the situation in front of us is clearly this.

Pei Yuanxiu and I subconsciously frowned and didn't say anything for a while.

Wu Yanqiu smiled and said, "If the two of you have no objections, then the official will say goodbye."

After saying that, he bowed to us, smiled and nodded to Li'er. Li'er also nodded gently. Wu Yanqiu turned around and walked onto the big ship. After a while, the ship slowly turned the bow and sailed towards Yangzhou.

At this time, the sunset was setting, and the golden sunlight shone over the entire earth and covered the entire river. The undulating river water reflected millions of golden lights, splendid and dazzling. The ship slowly sailed into the rippling waves and finally disappeared into the rising mist. I held Li'er's hand, still a little silent, and didn't know what to say, but Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at us, and then smiled and said, "Let's go back first, go back if you have anything to say."

I nodded, then led Li'er and walked with him.

We got on the carriage＿＿Because we were only here to pick up Li'er, we only took one carriage, and the brocade boxes could only be piled in the carriage. There were too many things. As soon as we got on the carriage, we saw that almost half of the carriage was piled up, and the three of us were naturally squeezed to the other side of the carriage.

Li'er was still holding me with one hand and holding Pei Yuanxiu's arm with the other.

But this time, none of the three of them spoke.

Pei Yuanxiu and I were still as always, and we were helplessly silent. Even Li'er seemed to have no mood to speak, but we were not in a depressed mood. On the contrary, there was a glorious brilliance in her eyes that was almost as brilliant as the river reflecting the setting sun.

It seems that something is being recalled.

The three of them sat quietly in the carriage with their own thoughts. But this silence seemed to be a kind of silence hidden in a strange surging, because there seemed to be more than three of us in this carriage.

The brocade boxes piled up opposite us, with the breath of that person and his perception, stood coldly and silently in front of us, as if the fourth invisible person in the carriage were peeking at us coldly, peeking at the hearts of each of us.

When he returned to the mansion, he got off the carriage and a group of maids ran out to greet him.

What came forward were the maids who had told Han Zitong before.

When they saw me, their faces were slightly embarrassed. They hurriedly came up to Mrs. Hu and helped me get off the carriage. I also knew the difficulties of their servants. They didn't show them any expressions, but smiled faintly. After getting off the carriage, they turned around and took Li'er down.

After standing still, I looked at Pei Yuanxiu.

His face still had a constant smile. He lowered his head and stroked Li'er's head, then said to me with a smile: "You take Li'er back to rest for a while. She will definitely be tired and hungry after playing for a day. When it's a little later, we'll discuss it."

I nodded: "Yeah."

After saying that, I led Li'er in. He walked a few steps behind us and was about to go to the study room. I heard the maids whispering to him: "Young Master, Miss Zitong has already told us to clean up the room of the young master. Tonight..."

I accelerated a few steps and took Li'er away while he didn't hear it.

After she went back, she went to take a shower first, and the maids prepared dinner for her, but obviously the girl's excitement had not yet passed and she couldn't eat too much. Under my "intimidation", she barely sucked half a bowl of rice with soup, and was forced to drink a bowl of fragrant crust drinks, which was considered to be appointment.

After the maids packed up their things and left the inner courtyard, only me and her were left in the room, I sat on the couch and waved to her gently. The girl ran over with a smile and nested into my arms.

The bathed body exuded a faint fragrance of flowers, and her hair was wet and greasy in my shoulders, bringing a sticky coolness.

I said softly, "Lier, did you have fun today?"

She did not answer, but nodded heavily in my arms.

I asked again, "How to be happy?"

She thought quietly for a while, then raised her head and said to me, "Mom, Yangzhou is so beautiful."

"Yeah?"

"It turns out that Yangzhou is so big, just as big as Jinling, and the streets there are also very lively ＿＿ More lively than Jinling."

"You guys went shopping?"

"Well. We also went to the teahouse to have tea and listen to a story alone."

Storytellers...? Let's talk about stories.

"What story did that person tell?"

"Qin Qiong blocks the backing king for three times!"

"What else?"

"Three heroes fight against Lu Bu!"

I smiled. Speaking of the storytellers in the teahouse, most of the stories told by the storytellers, the ups and downs of heroic stories that are so angry that they are like tigers. However, Li Er, a little girl, felt strange to listen to this.

I smiled and said, "Does it sound good?"

Li'er pouted and said, "It sounds nice or nice. Those big heroes are amazing! It's just that they always fight around, which is also boring."

I smiled.

She said again: "So, that person gave the teahouse manager a ingot of silver and asked the storyteller to tell some other stories."

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the "that person" she was talking about was Pei Yuanhao.

Somewhat unexpectedly, but it seems that Pei Yuanhao did not tell her about her identity, nor did he have the idea of ​​recognizing her at all. He didn't even tell her a name, so Li'er called him "that person".

I smiled and said, "What story did he ask that person to tell?"

She thought for a while before saying, "I told a story about a mirror."

"The story of the mirror?"

"Yes," Li'er nodded and said, "The owner of that mirror is a princess, named ＿＿"

I watched her think hard, but maybe she had seen too much and heard too much today. She didn't spend any effort to remember a small story, so she thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it.
