Chapter 43 Pretending

Li Chenan felt that he was a little red for being so thick-skinned.

But Li Qiaoxi seemed eager to describe him as the most perfect man in the world.

Ordinary people would at least raise a question mark over these words, but the girl listened with fascination and would occasionally ask a few questions in great anticipation.

For example, "So he didn't take the scientific examination because he didn't like the darkness of officialdom?"

"Of course, my brother has a bright mind and is a straight-tempered person. If he takes the exam, not to mention the number one scholar, he will at least be the top three... Our Li family has a miracle like a father and son who have seven Jinshi and three top three. My brother will get a

Isn’t it easy to find flowers or something like that?”

"..."

Li Chenan couldn't listen anymore because he really couldn't even memorize the Three-Character Sutra.

He walked over and coughed twice, and then Li Qiaoxi stopped and called out brother happily.

"Brother, this young lady is so nice!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was a little ashamed, thinking that this little girl's words were really easy to trick.

She is Li Chenan's sister, and of course she knows Li Chenan better, so what she said is the real truth.

The former Li Chenan was not stupid at all, and the current Li Chenan is certainly not stupid either.

He used to be called a wise man, but now Li Chenan is just showing his talents!

Its future is certainly promising!

Thank you Shen Qiaodie for resolutely breaking off the engagement. I will definitely treat her to a meal someday.

She stood up and pondered for a moment, thinking about the rules that a lady should have.

She awkwardly said a blessing to Li Chen'an, and shyly whispered: "Thank you, young lady, for saving your life!"

This look makes me feel pity for him.

Li Chenan's heart skipped a beat as his nose smelled the faint fragrance coming from this girl.

Recalling the women he had met in his previous life, he suddenly realized that his previous life had been in vain.

This woman is the best among women!

That voluptuous waist, that delicate and boneless figure, that skin that can be broken by blows, and that flawless face...this is really possible!

But don't show too much urgency.

I have to try to see if I can catch her, instead of just hoping for a result like I did in my previous life.

So he waved his hand quickly, and even took a step back, showing a gentleman's appearance: "You're welcome, girl. After all, we have met several times. After all, you are the first guest of my tavern."

"Now the gangsters outside have been captured by the police, but the young man just now... I don't know his identity. He said that one of them ran away. You have to be more careful when you go out."

"I'm telling you, girl, you should have a nursing home at home. You'd better take a few with you when you go out in the future."

Zhongli Ruoshui nodded shyly, showing the appearance of a charming little daughter.

If Ning Chuchu saw it now, her jaw would definitely drop.

"Well, you...have any of your people been injured?"

"I don't know yet, but my people have also been arrested by the government. I have to go to the government office to have a look."

After saying this, Li Chenan was about to turn around, but was stopped by Zhongli Ruoshui:

"Young Master, don't worry, Young Master, the little girl's family has some connections with the government, and your people will not be wronged... It's getting late, Young Master just said that one of the bad guys escaped."

"Look... could you please take me home again?"

Li Chenan felt happy, this was of course an excellent opportunity.

"……Where is your home?"

"At the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, three miles outside the north of the city."

Li Chenan was stunned for a moment, wondering whether this ancient people were the same as the people in previous lives. Rich people liked to live in the suburbs?

He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun had already set. There was still some distance to the north of the city, and there were still three miles to go out of the city. If he wanted to send this girl home, he had to leave now.

Seeing that Li Chenan was hesitant, Zhongli Ruoshui was worried that he would refuse, so he quickly added: "Although it is a little far away, there is my carriage in front of the tailor shop at the west end of the alley. Let's... let's take the carriage there, and I will go there after we arrive."

How about asking the coachman to take you back without delaying your business?"

There is a car here when we go out.

The family also has some connections with the government.

I was with that handsome father-in-law earlier.

This girl's status is somewhat high.

But for Li Chenan, these are nothing.

"Okay, let's go."

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhongli Ruoshui felt both happy and anxious at the same time.

What she was happy about was that she could be alone in that carriage with Li Chenan. According to the story her grandma once told about a hero saving a beauty, the beginning of this story was perfect, and it was considered a very crucial step.

With this step, there will of course be a good reason to come to his tavern in the future.

What makes her anxious is that after all, she is not her grandmother Fan Taohua. She is not as bold and free as Fan Taohua.

After all, this was the first time in fifteen years that she had been alone with a strange man, and the education she had received was still that there were differences between men and women, and she should maintain a woman's reserve no matter when and where.

This uneasiness comes from the contradiction in my heart.

She is like the peach blossom in bud, looking forward to fully blooming, but she is worried that the blooming will not be so beautiful that the person in front of her will not appreciate it.

She thinks too much.

She didn't know that Li Chenan wanted to pick her off.

The two walked out of the tavern.

Li Chenan was in front, and Zhongli Ruoshui was half a step behind.

Li Qiaoxi and Cuihua followed them out. They looked out and saw the two people walking slowly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"She will be my sister-in-law!"

Li Qiaoxi's tone was extremely firm, and Cuihua asked: "Why?"

"my feeling."

Cuihua turned to look at Li Qiaoxi, thinking that the girl must have a good background. Although the embroiderer did have some skills, but in terms of his birth, if he had not been kicked out of the Li Mansion, he would have come here.

It's a good match.

But he was indeed kicked out of Li Mansion!

Will the girl’s family be willing?

Besides, it seems that even the embroiderer doesn't know the girl's name yet.

She hasn't even figured out her horoscope yet, but the girl is really good-looking.

She must have used the gouache from Rouge Tower.

Even put on rouge!

Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui walked towards the west end of Erjinggou Alley.

On the roof of a two-story building in the west end, Cheng Zhe, who had taken off his turban, was sitting on an eaves. He just looked at the two people approaching. His square face suddenly collapsed and he raised his hand.

He touched the wound on his face... took a deep breath of the cool night breeze and let out a long sigh.

What kind of fortune did this dog say he had in his previous life?

His eyes kept falling on Li Chenan. It wasn't until the two of them entered the carriage that he stood up from the roof and landed on the street.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and walked towards the tavern.

There should be some wine left, go have a drink and then go back.

Li Chenan and Zhong Liruo got on the carriage. The old coachman wearing a bamboo hat looked away in surprise, raised the whip in his hand, and the carriage headed towards the north gate of Guangling City.
