Du Bai thought about it and laughed: "Maybe I don't want to be famous."

"Famous and profit have nothing to do with me, or I would rather hope to live a peaceful life. If I become famous, I might have many troubles waiting for me. Isn't it better to enjoy my current life, be peaceful and harmonious, not happy?"

He said it as a natural tone, and when he heard this, Su Zhirou looked at him in a daze for a while, held it in for a long time, and finally spit out two words from her mouth: "Strange man!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Bai was stunned, but she couldn't help laughing. She laughed for a while before gradually stopping. She looked at him with a look that seemed to be recognizing the person in front of her, her eyes flashing.

"How many people are out of reach for such fame and fortune, but you are willing to give in. I really don't understand what you are thinking..."

"Well...so do you really think you are satisfied with enjoying the current situation of our Su family?" She tilted her head slightly, and a little curious about her face.

"You marry into our Su family, are you really not resentful?"

Du Bai didn't expect her to ask such a direct question, but he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

So after all, she is just a spoiled little girl. She dares to love and hate, and dares to speak out in a blunt way. Perhaps as long as she follows her words, she will really accept herself, accept herself as her brother-in-law, and no longer deliberately make things difficult for herself.

This is actually a very simple thing. He just needs to pick some suitable words to say. Everything can be done in just one sentence.

But at this moment, he looked at her innocent eyes that seemed to be shining with stars, but his heart moved. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and chuckled slightly.

"If I said I had no resentment, would you believe it?"

"Or it's true that you're very resentful."

Su Zhirou blinked her eyes, and she was a little surprised, as if she hadn't expected him to answer like this.

"Then why are you...?"

“Because of time.”

Du Bai said slowly, with a wry smile on his lips: "When I first entered the palace, I was still a sour scholar who was determined to be the imperial examination. My future was ruined, and I had been studying hard for ten years was invalid. How could I not feel resentful in my heart? I blame my incompetence, the injustice of this world, and the decline of my parents' family background..."

"It was only time that I realized that I was so pedantic and incompetent, and I was useless except to read a poem or two. It was also with Wanmiao's help that I realized my true self again. I did not want to be bound by external things, not be restricted by so-called rules, not have to pursue unnecessary fame and power, and not have to work hard to sleep in the open."

"I realized that the pride of a literati should not be limited to the surface, but should be hidden deep in the soul, and the words and sentences are reflected in the truth."

"Maybe this is what I want. Now that the resentment has disappeared, maybe I should be grateful for it."

Du Bai told this story in a casual manner, and his words were half true and half false, but some of them were indeed his heartfelt words.

Simply put, if he can be a rich man without struggle and be a slutty young man, he will be very grateful!

But after all, we are educated people. If we speak so bluntly, we will definitely be disliked. It will sound more pleasing to the point of being tactful.

Su Zhirou was quite impressed by this crooked truth. She probably was fooled in. Her eyes looked at him seemed to be softer, but her face turned slightly red: "Do you... like your sister so much?"

Although she has written many love stories, she is still a little thin when facing the love stories around her.

And in Du Bai's words just now, the expression of emotions seemed to be beyond words.

Du Bai did not answer clearly, but said, "Wan Miao is the woman I want to spend my whole life together."

No one can tell what the future will be, but at least at this moment, Su Wanmiao is the most suitable wife he has ever met to spend his whole life together.

Su Zhirou nodded silently, stopped talking, her eyes drifted away, and she didn't know what she was thinking...

After a long time, the carriage finally arrived at its destination.

After the vehicle stopped, the coachman respectfully lifted the curtain, and as soon as Du Bai got off the carriage, he was attracted by the scenery in front of him and was slightly stunned.

"here it is……"

Aside from the bank and embankment, a boat with red candlelight was staying here. The sound of piano and other music came faintly from the boat, with the sound of some talking, footsteps, and the sound of the breeze gently caressing the river water against the bank and embankment.

Several gentle maids who were dressed beautifully and not exposed were waiting on the deck with lanterns, waiting for the guests to board the boat.

Isn’t this the pleasure boat he saw dancing with a courtesan before?

He didn't expect that he would meet again so soon, and at such a close distance!

"Young Master, this pleasure boat has been booked by our young master and friends tonight. All the cost is exempt. You can enjoy it with confidence."

A servant who was greeting beside him bent down and said, "

Upon hearing this, Du Bai once again had a new understanding of the degree of luxury of these ancient rich second generations.

Judging from his previous understanding, this is like spending a lot of money!

But when he was a little surprised, Su Zhirou, who came out from behind, had already looked familiar, but she saw a little unconcealed contempt in the eyes of the Huafang, which was flowing out with a faint sound.

"These guys are still the same, and they haven't made any progress."

It can be heard that this kind of banquet has been there before, and it has not left any good impression on this sister-in-law.

But this is true. Although this pleasure boat itself is a place for scholars, it is ultimately a place for fireworks. Fortunately, Su Zhirou is not an ordinary woman, otherwise she would not have come to such a place at all.

After Du Bai arrived on the boat, he found that there were not as many people as expected.

This pleasure boat has two cabins in total. The upper floor is slightly covered by the hazy curtain and cannot be seen clearly. The spacious cabin on the lower floor is brightly lit, and a few wisps of faint sandalwood rose on the table and filled the air, adding a bit of mysterious aura.

Through the lights, you can see that more than ten people were already sitting inside, but there was no place beyond the rules. You could hear the sound of piano coming from the corner. Perhaps because the people on the boat were not all here, they were probably sitting in groups of three or standing or chatting.

He was probably not old, all of whom were handsome young men in brocade clothes and silk. There were not many women. At first glance, there were only a few people, separated from the man. Sometimes he spoke in a low voice and sometimes he covered his mouth and chuckled. At first glance, he could tell that he was a lady from a noble family.

In fact, the identity of the people who can come here is self-evident. Most of them are rich children who are bored and learn to find excitement. A few are people who are really interested in ghosts and gods, such as Sheng Yunting.
