Chapter 170 Falling out
The starlight is very bright tonight, and the atmosphere is also very good.
Everyone looked at each other and said something, reluctant to leave.
However, all good things must come to an end.
Li Jiaojiao yawned slightly.
Everyone saw it.
Censor Li said he was old and tired...
Minister Lin said that indeed, staying up late is bad for your health...
The people at the small table stood up one by one, and the people around them also stood up.
They were speechless for a while, and then clasped their fists in farewell.
It seems like this is the last supper...
For the people of Yuncheng and the masters of the capital, it is indeed a dinner that is rarely repeated.
It was difficult for ordinary people to sit down and have a meal with the princes, heirs, and officials in the capital.
It is rare for people in the capital to have such an opportunity to have fun together with the people.
They looked at each other.
The people in the capital saw many things in the eyes of the common people, things that they, who were high and mighty, had never noticed or seen before.
The common people... looked through the people in the capital and focused their eyes on the girl standing there quietly...
The moment the girl turned around, many people shed tears...
People in Beijing: ...
Feelings wasted... down the drain...
The way back was very short, and the people spontaneously made way for a wide street.
Several people staggered back, their faces flushed to varying degrees.
When people are having a great time chatting, they will subconsciously drink alcohol to help them get going. Once they feel like the conversation has gotten better, they will have another drink, and this cycle will repeat until everyone has had a lot of alcohol.
Censor Li and Minister Lin supported each other, leaving their servants far aside.
One is a stinking stone that everyone in the capital avoids, and the other is a rough guy in the capital who is neither cultured nor martial, who can rely on everyone but cannot be relied on anywhere.
Minister Lin said, "Old Li, you have seen the situation in Yuncheng. The little money we earn from you is not enough to spend. You must report the truth when you return."
Censor Li nodded: "Of course. It's not my money anyway. But aren't you still working on the subsequent wood carvings? Do you want to report it truthfully?"
Minister Lin choked and then became confused.
Howl to each other.
Minister Lin turned around and went to look for Li Jiaojiao, who was his backbone.
After twisting his body left and right a few times, he saw a pair of figures blocked by Lao Li on the right.
The man is graceful and elegant, while the woman is cool and indifferent.
Minister Lin pulled Censor Li back and let the man and woman walk in front of them.
Then he angrily pursed his lips at Censor Li, looking at the two figures.
"About the wood carving, why don't you ask the county lady or His Highness?"
Censor Li: ...
The two adults' servants: ...
"Old Li, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but the county princess has a lot of business on her hands. From now on, you better follow her closely." Minister Lin patted Censor Li's hand meaningfully.
When Censor Li tried to pull his hand back, it was accidentally grabbed by this guy. He was indeed a man who did rough labor, with calluses all over his hands, making them very rough.
Censor Li pulled his hands back and, to prevent them from being pulled again, folded his hands in his wide sleeves.
He was born not to like crowds.
He has always thought so for many years.
His father always taught him that there is no such thing as a natural genius or a born top scholar in the world. Only by working hard and persevering all year round can one finally achieve success.
He wanted to succeed, so he worked very hard.
He started doing this as far as he could remember. He would get up early every day to read, and after opening his eyes he would wash his face with a basin of cold water, which would instantly clear his mind.
And so it goes, day after day, year after year.
Later he succeeded, one success after another, became the top scholar as he wished, and was promoted step by step until today.
He always thought that he would overthrow all corrupt officials and restore peace and prosperity to the country.
He has always done so.
So he doesn't make friends and he becomes a lone minister.
He was afraid that his friend would one day become...
But a trip to Yuncheng gave him new insights.
Censor Li walked slowly. The bluestone slab under his feet had just been repaired the day before. He happened to see it when he came back from practicing Tai Chi that day.
Not only the streets near Wangque Tower, but the streets in the entire Yuncheng are probably all repaired now.
He took some time to wander around.
There are also wind lanterns on the streets, which were also recently completed.
Unlike other cities that were pitch black at night, in Cloud City, regardless of whether there were stars or not, the lanterns could cast a person's shadow on the ground, stretching it very long...
Censor Li's steps were swaying, and his head was shaking as he walked all the way to the Wangque Tower. He was then helped by his servant to the couch, and fell into a deep sleep.
Have a good night's sleep.
I don’t know if the dream was the peaceful and prosperous world he had imagined.
……
Li Jiaojiao was also drunk. She had never been loved so much in her past and present lives. Suddenly, she felt a little excited.
I also seem to understand some people who have devoted their entire lives in their previous lives to helping the poor and farmers.
Their spiritual level has already surpassed many people without them realizing it.
After Li Jiaojiao returned to the backyard of Wangque Tower, she stopped.
Seeing that the people around him were no longer lifting their feet, Lu Liang asked, "But you don't want to sleep?"
Li Jiaojiao nodded.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the rooftop and take another look at Cloud City at night."
"it is good."
The two of them soared into the air, tapped their toes at the pavilion in the courtyard, and when they landed again, they had reached the rooftop of Wangque Tower.
Soon after, Bai Ze also went up to the roof, holding an ink-colored cloak in his hand, and spread it on the tiles behind the girl.
Su Xin came out with a cloak in her arms: ...and gave Bai Ze a look.
Bai Ze's cheeks twitched...
Who knew you'd think of that?
You're slow and you blame me?
Li Jiaojiao looked at the numerous lights below her feet and said slowly, "I've made up my mind. After returning to Beijing, I will spend more time in the clinic when I have free time, practicing medicine and saving lives.
Let there be less suffering in the world and more smiles on people's faces. As for the grains grown on the farm, they will also be promoted in the future. However, my ability is limited, so you should find the right person to arrange it. "
Lu Liang's heartbeat quickened slightly.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
"You don't have to go to the clinic often. Moye knows medicine. Let him follow you. You can go there when you encounter difficult situations." Lu Liang helped Li Jiaojiao sit on the cloak and raised his hand to straighten her scattered hair behind her ears.
"it is good."
……
The two sat quietly, occasionally talking to each other.
I sat there until the noisy sounds from the next street gradually faded away, and the only lights in the city were the lanterns lighting the street.
Lu Liang reached out and picked up the sleeping woman leaning against him, then stood up and went back to his room...
On the way, I met a man in a moon-colored robe who had been sitting in the pavilion.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and then moved away.
Xie Xiao continued to drink.
Lu Liang returned to his room and settled the woman in his arms.
……
When Lu Liang came out of the room again, he had changed his clothes and was holding a pot of wine in his hand.
"Your Highness has not yet married, so this is not appropriate, is it?" The man in the moon robe spoke harshly, unlike his usual clear and bright appearance in front of others.
"Don't worry, Prince. The wedding will take place eventually." Lu Liang lifted his robe and sat opposite Xie Xiao.
"That's a cage, not suitable for her." Xie Xiao refused to give in and stared at Lu Liang.
"Whether it's suitable or not is not up to you." Lu Liang also stared at Xie Xiao.
The man in the dark: ...
……
The two men sat down without saying a word, then walked away, and the wine jars behind them shattered at the same time.
……
