Zhongli Ruoshui left the Marquis' Mansion of Dingguo.

She stood in front of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, but finally did not go to Huaxi Villa.

She took Lin Xueer into the carriage and went to the small yard of Sun Tuozi.

In the carriage, Lin Xueer was very surprised to Zhongli Ruoshui.

She was Zhongli Ruoshui's personal maid, but she could not enter the study room of the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion, so she didn't know what was going on, but the lady's eyes were so red, so she was afraid she had suffered a great grievance in discussing Li Chen'an's matter.

"Old lady, don't agree?"

Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head and looked out the car window.

"No, I feel a little confused, let me be quiet."

Lin Xueer shut up and became more and more worried.

Because the lady has always been a strong and tough person.

Even in the winter when the lady was ten years old, she was tortured to death because of her illness, and the lady was not as depressed as she is now... The lady was also in the study, afraid that the lady and her wife had tear her face for Li Chen'an.

Is it worth it?

Lin Xueer doesn't know.

But my heart ached a little.

When the carriage arrived at the small courtyard of Doctor Sun, it was already dark.

Zhongli Ruoshui got out of the carriage and looked up at the night sky. A bright moon had risen, like a jade plate, very bright and beautiful.

That's right, it just looks a little too cold.

Just like my mood at this moment.

Li Chenan should have gone to Duke Cheng's Mansion by this time.

How should I speak to him about this?

Hidden from him?

Let him spend the last time of his life with him?

Tell him?

How could he marry a dying woman!

What should I do?

If I had known this, I would have held the March 3rd cultural conference!

Without that literary event, I wouldn't know him. He would still stay in Guangling City and run his tavern. Perhaps Shen Qiaodie would rebuild him when he saw that he had changed.

Or maybe he would meet another girl in Guangling City, and then live his life comfortably and casually in that tavern as he thought.

He won't come to Kyoto.

Not to mention that you will not be involved in the struggles of many forces because of yourself.

I'm sorry to him!

By the way, the fourth princess Ning Chuchu seems to be interested in him!

Originally, I didn’t want Ning Chuchu to see Li Chenan, but now... I have to make this marriage between them. It is the last thing I did for him before I die!

Thinking of this, Zhongli Ruoshui felt a little more relaxed.

If Li Chenan becomes the son-in-law of the fourth princess Ning Chuchu, I think Ji Tai and Ning Zhixing will not make things difficult for him anymore.

Zhongli Ruoshui took a deep breath and made a decisive decision in his heart.

After asking Doctor Sun for verification, if he is indeed as grandma said, then enter the palace immediately and go to the Fourth Princess Ning Chuchu's mansion!

"Knock on the door!"

Lin Xueer walked over and knocked on the door knocker.

After a moment, the door opened and Xiao Wu stood in front of the door.

When he saw Lin Xueer, he was slightly shocked, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhongli Ruoshui again, he immediately grinned.

"Yaaaaa..."

He and Zhongli Ruoshui communicated with each other, and then took Zhongli Rushui and his servant to the backyard.

Sun Tuozi was sitting in front of the stone table in the patio and drinking.

It is not peach blossom wine or Huapingchun, but the most common loose wine in Kyoto.

He heard the sound of footsteps, put down the wine cup and looked up, and his eyelids suddenly jumped twice for no reason.

He stood up and felt a little strange in his heart, because there was no reason for the third lady to come here alone at this time.

"Miss, please sit down!"

Zhongli Ruoshui said a lot of blessings, his face filled with smiles, and he no longer felt the sadness he had just now.

"Thank you, Grandpa Sun!"

She sat opposite Sun Tuozi, Xiaowu ran to the kitchen and took out two bowls and chopsticks, but Lin Xueer did not sit down, and she was still standing behind Zhongli Ruoshui.

There were only two side dishes with wine on the stone table.

A dish of braised pork head meat.

A dish of pork tails.

Sun Tuozi didn't ask, he just smiled at Zhongli Ruoshui.

Zhongli Ruoshui didn't go straight to the point either. She reached out to pinch a pig's tail, chewed it in small mouth, and said, "I remember when I was in Shuiyunjian, Grandpa Sun liked this pig's tail."

"I still remember Grandpa Sun said that children should not eat, and that they would fall behind others when they eat."

"So I didn't dare to eat at that time because I was afraid of falling behind someone else."

"But later, I saw that you were so delicious, so I secretly tasted it and realized that the pork tail of the sauce turned out to be so delicious... So it became unimportant to fall behind others."

Sun Tuozi grinned, "Eunuch An always loses one or two pig tails the next day. It turns out that you stole the food?"

"Hehe, Eunuch An was the emperor's former imperial chef. His craftsmanship is indeed good... Even now he is old and in Juxian Pavilion, he is still the master of the master."

"Well, this is also his blessing. If you eat more, this pig tail is really made by him with his own sauce!"

"No wonder the taste is so familiar."

"The pork tails of the sauce are served with wine, and the taste is even more fresh. Do you want to have a glass?"

"good!"

Xiao Wu easily understood the spoken language of their conversation. He was a little surprised and then took a cup and poured a glass of wine for Zhongli Ruoshui.

Zhongli Ruoshui took a bite of it, which was a bit spicy and a little astringent, which was indeed much worse than Li Chenan's paintings.

But this doesn't matter.

What’s important is that alcohol can boost courage!

So she drank the glass of wine in one sip.

Xiaowu pointed to the wine glass, Xiaowu took the master, and Sun Tuozi nodded slightly.

Zhongli Ruoshui ate a pig's tail and drank three glasses of wine.

Her face was slightly red, but it was not very clear under the moonlight.

She put down the wine glass and did not twist a pig's tail again. She asked Sun Tuozi extremely seriously:

"Grandpa Sun, how long can I live?"

The wine cup in Sun Tuozi's hand was frozen in the air.

Xiao Wu opened his mouth wide in silence.

Lin Xueer behind Zhongli Ruoshui was shocked and guessed something.

It was obvious that only ten breaths passed, but Sun Tuozi and the other two felt that a whole year had passed!

He put down the wine cup, avoided Zhongli Ruoshui's gaze, and asked back: "Are you going to the Marquis' Mansion today?"

"Um!"

"Grandpa Sun, tell me the truth, because I still have a lot to do, and I must know how long I can live so that I can arrange the things behind me."

"Your grandma asked you to come to Kyoto, and she was afraid of this winter this year, because this is the fifth year since you last fell ill!"

“…”

Zhongli Ruoshui withdrew his gaze and looked up at the night sky at the four corners of the patio.

The moon has not risen here yet, and there are stars in this night sky.

"That's it, it's been less than two months."

"It's not necessarily true. The medicines that Xiaowu picked from Wushan are very good. If you take them on time, you may be able to survive this winter. At the end of the spring next year, it will be..."
