On the day of return, Li Wen went all the way to Shili Changting outside the city.
"Prince?" The voice of the captain of the guard shocked him back to his senses.
Seeing that his master was distracted, the captain of the guard came over and reminded him in a low voice: "It's time to go back."
"oh."
Over there, the Zhou family was already saying goodbye. Seeing Li Wen approaching, Zhou Xuan respectfully stepped aside and gave up his seat.
Li Wen nodded with a smile, but what he said was: "Mr. Yan, I have a few words to say to you."
"Huh?" 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 he the first one to come to see him?
Li Wen had already reached the other side of the pavilion. Yan Ling followed him with a confused look on his face.
"Prince Li..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Wen had already raised his sleeves and cupped his hands, and bowed deeply to him.
Regardless of status or age, Li Wen was the elder. Yan Ling really did not dare to accept such a gift from him, so he hurriedly stepped aside and was extremely surprised: "Prince Li, what are you..."
Li Wen straightened up and looked at him sincerely: "Young Master Yan is of high status, and we both have our own positions, but that day at Wangjiang Tower, you had no selfish intentions and took risks for me. This kind of friendship, Li Wen did not
The teeth are unforgettable.”
It turned out that it was for this reason that Yan Ling smiled and waved his hands a little sheepishly: "Young Master Li, you're welcome. I didn't do it for you, but..."
"For Miss Xu San." Li Wen continued the second half of his sentence.
Yan Ling nodded repeatedly with an expression of "It's good if you know."
Li Wen also laughed: "It is true that Young Master Yan has no intention of showing kindness, but I can't pretend that I don't know about it. In short, I have written down this favor, and I will definitely repay it if I have the opportunity in the future."
He said it so seriously that Yan Ling returned the gift cautiously.
I thought I had finished talking, but as soon as I got up, Li Wen said again: "Ordinarily, I should fulfill the second master Yan's kindness. But if I miss some things, I may regret it for the rest of my life, so I'm afraid I have to do it first
I'm sorry, Mr. Yan."
Yan Ling was stunned when he heard this: "What?"
Li Wen smiled, turned around and went to the motorcade without explanation.
"Brother Xu." He called out loudly.
Xu Ze, who was talking to Zhou Xuan, turned around and said, "Prince Li?"
Li Wendao: "I would like to say a few words to Miss Xu, can you?"
Hearing what he said, Xu Ze was quite happy: "Go!" It's time to say goodbye, so it's appropriate for unmarried couples to say goodbye, right?
Li Wen didn't move and asked again: "Can I have a few words alone?"
Was he trying to avoid people? Xu Ze looked hesitant and looked at the carriage.
There was a noise inside, and Xu Yin jumped down: "I'll have a cup of tea over there. Call me when we set off!"
Seeing how straightforward she was, Xu Ze stopped talking and waved to the coachman to move away.
Li Wen walked to the carriage window and whispered: "Miss Xu."
Xu Si's soft voice came from inside: "What does Prince Li want to say?"
Li Wen heard her voice was so calm and 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 after I leave this time. There is something in my heart that I want to ask Xu Da
Miss, please don’t take offense if there is any offense.”
Xu Si smiled: "Prince Li, please tell me, I don't mind it."
Li Wen calmed down and said: "This autumn banquet is originally for a blind date. I wonder what Miss Xu's impression of me is, but is it true?"
There was silence in the carriage. Xu Si seemed not to have expected that he would ask this question. He paused for a while and said with a smile: "Prince Li has both political integrity and talent, and is impeccable."
This sentence encouraged Li Wen, and he immediately said: "If Miss Xu is not dissatisfied with me, can you consider this marriage?"
This time the silence lasted longer. Li Wen looked at the curtains of the carriage and saw only a vague shadow.
He has never been so anxious as now, his heart is in the air, waiting for the answer.
Xu Si finally spoke: "Prince Li, does he know that before coming to Dongjiang, my father once arranged a marriage for me?"
Li Wen thought about it for a moment and nodded: "I know, he seemed to be a Sima under Xu Governor's family, but later..."
"Later, he had other intentions and wanted to harm my father. His conspiracy was exposed and he died."
Li Wen nodded: "So?"
Xu Si said softly: "When my father decided on this marriage, he once asked me, and I agreed. As the eldest daughter of the Xu family and having 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 my family."
Li Wen couldn't help but nod. Most children from aristocratic families are like this.
What now? What does she mean by this?
Xu Si continued: "After Fang Yi died, I didn't feel much sad, I just felt lucky. It's a good thing that such a person was discovered early. It's just that my marriage became a worry for my father. Although I am not a soft-tempered person, I
She is not stronger than my sister. I stayed at home to find a son-in-law, just because I was afraid that something like this would happen again. Later, my sister said, let her stay at home. I can marry whoever I want and be happy."
She smiled and her voice became softer: "Prince Li, do you understand this feeling? I am lucky to have such a family. So, for them, I will not give in to myself casually. I will marry this time.
, he must be a wishful man."
Li Wen couldn't help but raise his head and look at the car window, his throat was a little dry: "Miss Xu, then I..."
"Of course you are a good match." Xu Si said softly, "I know you have some affection for me. To tell you the truth, I am not completely unmoved. It's just that marriage is very important to me, and marrying someone must be for
Happiness. Just having a good impression is not enough. If you really want this marriage, you must have more feelings."
So, is this rejection? Li Wen's head was buzzing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was not the case.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold the car window and blurted out: "Let's give it a try, shall we? Relationships need to be cultivated. I had too many things to do before, so I didn't dare to indulge, but now I can. I am willing to try.
I hope you can give me this opportunity."
The carriage fell into a longer silence. It was so long that Li Wen thought he was really going to be rejected. Suddenly, a laugh came out and she asked: "Then how are you going to try? I'll be leaving soon."
Li Wen smiled and said: "I write to you every day. The ancients said that spiritual friendship can be cultivated even if we don't meet. What's more, we already know how we look and how we talk. That's right.
You should understand what the other person thinks and likes, right?"
Xu Si smiled: "What you said seems to make sense."
"Then let's give it a try! You don't have a sweetheart, and neither do I, and we happen to have a crush on each other. Maybe we are a suitable match?"
After a while, a chuckle came from the carriage: "Okay."
