Chapter 171
On the day of his return trip, Li Wen sent him to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city.
"Criminal?" The chief guard's voice shocked his mind.
Seeing that the master was absent-minded, the chief guard leaned over and whispered: "It's time to go back."
"oh."
The Zhou family was already saying goodbye there. Seeing Li Wen coming, Zhou Xuan retreated respectfully and gave up his seat.
Li Wenhan nodded with a smile, but said: "Young Master Yan, I have a few words to say to you."
"Ha?" Yan Ling was stunned for a moment. Li Wen wanted to say goodbye. Shouldn't he tell Xu Ze or the Xu sisters? Why was the first one to look for him?
Li Wen had already walked to the other side of the Changting Pavilion, and Yan Ling followed him with a confused look on his face.
"Crown Prince Li..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Wen had already raised his sleeves and bowed deeply to him.
Regardless of his identity and age, Li Wen is the eldest, and Yan Ling really dared not accept such a gift from him. He hurriedly gave it to the side and was extremely surprised: "Prince Li, you are..."
Li Wen stood up straight and looked at him sincerely: "Young Master Yan is valuable, and we both have their own positions, but that day in Wangjiang Tower, you were selfless and took risks for me. Li Wen will never forget this friendship."
It turned out to be for this. Yan Ling smiled and waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "Crown Prince Li, don't be polite. I'm not doing that for you, but..."
"For Miss Xu San." Li Wen took over the second half of his sentence.
Yan Ling nodded repeatedly, with an expression of "You know it."
Li Wen also smiled: "Since Mr. Yan had no intention of giving kindness, I can't pretend that I didn't know. In short, I have recorded this favor. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely be rewarded."
He spoke so seriously that Yan Ling took the courtesy carefully.
I thought I had finished speaking, but I didn’t know how to be together. Li Wen said again: “As long as you say, I should do it for you. But if you miss some things, you may regret it all your life, so I’m afraid I’m sorry for Young Master Yan first.”
Yan Ling was stunned when she heard this: "What?"
Li Wen laughed, without explanation, turned around and went to the convoy.
"Brother Xu." He called out loudly.
Xu Ze, who was talking to Zhou Xuan, turned around and said, "Crown Prince Li?"
Li Wen said: "I want to say a few words to Miss Xu, can I?"
After hearing what he said, Xu Ze was quite happy: "Go!" He was about to part. It is appropriate for an unmarried couple to say goodbye, right?
Li Wen didn't move and asked again: "Can you say a few words alone?"
Is this trying to avoid people? Xu Ze hesitated and looked at the carriage.
There was a roar inside, and Xu Yin jumped down: "I'll go over there to have a cup of tea, and call me after I set off!"
Seeing that she was so straightforward, Xu Ze didn't talk much and waved to the coachman to retreat.
Li Wen walked to the carriage window and whispered: "Miss Xu."
Xu Si's gentle voice came from inside: "What do Prince Li want to say?"
When Li Wen heard her voice so calm, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Then he thought of Yan Ling's words, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know when I will see you again when I go this time. I have a sentence in my heart, I want to ask Miss Xu, if there is any offense, please don't be surprised."
Xu Si smiled and said, "Prince Li, please say, I'm not surprised."
Li Wen calmed down and said, "This autumn banquet was originally for blind dates. I wonder what Miss Xu's impression of me is, but do you like me?"
The carriage was quiet for a moment, and Xu Si seemed to have never expected him to ask this question. He paused for a while and smiled and said, "Prince Li is both virtuous and talented, and is impeccable."
This sentence inspired Li Wen, and he immediately said, "If Miss Xu had no dissatisfaction with me, could she consider this marriage?"
This time it was quieter longer. Li Wen looked at the curtains of the carriage and saw only a shadow that seemed to be there or not.
He has never been as anxious as he is now, his heart is in mid-air, waiting for the answer.
Xu Si finally spoke: "Does Prince Li know that before coming to Dongjiang, my father had seen me a marriage?"
Li Wen recalled for a moment and nodded: "I know, it seems that he is a Sima under the sect of governor Xu, but later..."
"Later he had a strange intention and wanted to harm my father, and his conspiracy was exposed and died."
Li Wen nodded: "So what?"
Xu Si said softly: "When my father decided on this marriage, he asked me, "I agreed. As the eldest daughter of Xu and there are no brothers in the family, my marriage is not only related to myself, but also to the family. Therefore, I agreed to that marriage for the family."
Li Wen couldn't help but nod. Most of the children of aristocratic families are like this.
What about now? What does she mean when she said this?
Xu Si continued: "After Fang Yi's death, I was not much sad, I just felt glad. Fortunately, I discovered this person early. But my marriage became my father's heart disease. Although I am not a soft-hearted person, I am not stronger than my sister. I stayed at home to recruit a son-in-law, for fear of encountering such a thing again. Later, my sister said, let her stay at home, and I will marry whoever I want, and be happy."
She smiled, her voice softer and softer: "Prince Li, do you understand this kind of mood? It is my blessing to have such a family. So, for them, I will not give myself a chance. If you want to marry this time, you must be a good husband."
Li Wen couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the car window, his throat was a little dry: "Miss Xu, then I..."
"You are naturally a good partner." Xu Si said softly, "I know you have some good feelings for me. To be honest, I am not completely unhappy. But marriage is very important to me, and getting married must be for happiness. Just a little bit of good feelings is not enough. If you really want this marriage, you must have more feelings."
So, is this a rejection? Li Wen's head buzzed, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not.
He couldn't help but reach out and hold the car window and blurted out: "Then let's give it a try, okay? The relationship needs to be cultivated. I had too many things to do before, so I dare not indulge it, but now it's OK. I'm willing to try it. I hope you can give me this opportunity."
In the carriage, he fell into a longer silence, so long that Li Wen thought he was really going to be rejected, and suddenly a laugh came from him. She asked, "Then how do you try? I'm leaving soon."
Li Wen smiled and said, "I write to you every day. The ancients said that they were divine friendship. It can be seen that even if they don't meet each other, they can cultivate feelings. What's more, you and me are already clear about how you and me look and talk. You should understand what the other person thinks and likes, right?"
Xu Si smiled: "It seems to make sense for you to say this."
"Then let's give it a try! You don't have a lover, nor do I, and you happen to have a good impression of each other. Maybe we are the right ones?"
