PDLP Chapter 331 Days on the Boat
Chapter 331 Days on the Boat
People who are usually eloquent tend to be silent when it comes to matters of the heart.
Yan Xuan sighed repeatedly.
He sighed so much that everyone on the boat wanted to slap him and tell him to shut up.
Bai Lingyi whispered in Luo Yu's ear: "Sister, I will never fall in love again."
Zhu Jinyou listened and snorted, "Don't ordinary people marry without even meeting each other? A matchmaker will help, and as long as the parents agree, the marriage will happen right after they arrive. That would save a lot of trouble."
Luo Yu lazily asked Bai Lingyi: "Then are you willing to marry a woman you have never even met?"
Bai Lingyi thought about it, shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and nodded again: "Sister, please help me check it out. If you think the person is good, then he must be suitable for me."
Luo Yu frowned helplessly: Are you so casual about marrying a wife?
Zhu Jinyou patted Bai Lingyi on the shoulder, fully affirming his decision.
"That's the way it should be. As a grown man, why should you cry and wail over a little love?"
Yan Xuan's red eyes suddenly widened.
"Are you talking about me?"
He was already feeling wronged, and after being mocked by Zhu Jinyou, his ears and face turned red, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
He hummed and moaned, but it was difficult to calm the resentment in his heart.
Luo Yu was both angry and amused.
"Yan Xuan, don't feel wronged. Miss Xia has always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. After we get off the boat in two days, she will definitely have forgotten about this."
"Really?" Yan Xuan muttered, "It's all my fault. Why didn't I shamelessly get on the same boat with her? I was the one who abandoned her."
Luo Yu: ...
Zhu Jinyou looked at Luo Yu with a smile, and Luo Yu rolled his eyes at him, asking him to comfort him, not to stab Dao Dao.
Zhu Jinyou held onto the teacup and said quietly, "Yan Xuan and Miss Xia's situation isn't that serious right now. If they can't even handle this little thing, how are they going to withstand the trials of the future?"
Luo Yu glanced at him and said, "You know a lot."
"Of course, I can take responsibility for everything I do. I'm just too impatient as a youngster."
Yan Xuan was stunned and asked Zhu Jinyou: "Uncle, is it true that no obstacle can stop you from marrying Miss Luo Yu?"
Zhu Jinyou leaned slightly on the armrest, looking extremely lazy.
"If you encounter a demon, kill the demon; if you encounter a Buddha, kill the Buddha."
Yan Xuan spoke quickly: "You dare to kill Buddha? What if the Queen Mother doesn't allow it?"
Luo Yu looked at Zhu Jinyou with interest, look at your foul mouth!
Bai Lingyi only dared to glance at Prince Ning secretly. Although the prince was good to Sister Luo Hong, Bai Lingyi always felt that he was a playboy and frivolous in his words, and was not a good match for him.
Prince Ning chuckled and said, "If the Queen Mother knew that I was willing to marry, I wonder how happy she would be."
He paused, and looked at Luo Yu with affectionate eyes, overflowing with affection, "Besides, Miss Luo Yu is beautiful and intelligent, as smart as ice and snow, and as gentle as jade and as delicate as a flower."
Luo Yu sneered, "Wait, are you describing me? Or are you describing a certain woman in your mind?"
Zhu Jinyou smiled: "Besides you, there is no room in my heart for anyone else."
"Isn't it that I only have half the space on the floor?"
Luo Yu blinked and smiled.
"Naughty."
Yan Xuan's bad mood improved a lot in an instant.
He suddenly grabbed Zhu Jinyou's sleeve and looked at him with pleading eyes.
Zhu Jinyou's face darkened: "What are you doing?"
When Yan Xuan let go of his sleeves, he couldn't help but flick off the non-existent dust, his face showing displeasure. He was really the kind of person that everyone disliked.
"Uncle, how about when we return to the capital, can you help me ask the Queen Mother to grant me a marriage and marry Miss Xia to me?"
"You wish!"
"Uncle, you married the one you love, but you let your nephew suffer in love. Please help me!"
Luo Yu frowned slightly. Yan Xuan was such a good man, but after being with Xia Liang, he became like this?
Zhu Jinyou's ears were severely polluted, so he asked him coldly: "How do you want me to convince the Queen Mother? Miss Xia's identity is really not up to par."
Luo Yu remembered that Xia Liang was a villager of Shili Village, what a good identity. Although being married to an aristocratic family was a little lower in class, it was at least more serious than her and Qin Bingrui!
"Miss Xia is both civil and military, and she can even speak animal language, making the animals obey her. She also said that if I go to the northwest border to fight in the future, she will follow me and serve as my deputy general."
"You're marrying a wife, not a lieutenant general. If you take her to the battlefield to kill the enemy, can you really bear to let her suffer that?"
Luo Yu said thoughtfully, "If Miss Xia can rely on her own strength to win the position of military commander, then wouldn't it be more likely that she will be with Yan Xuan?"
The reason why Luo Yu thought of this was that she had her own little thoughts. She didn't want Xia Liang to marry Yan Xuan too early. They were still too young and had a long way to go. If their feelings faded one day, it would be better for them to part ways amicably.
Nowadays, once a woman gets married, it is very difficult for her to end the marriage unless the man divorces her.
Yan Xuan nodded quickly: "That's fine, I can wait. Baby Xia Cao and I are still young, so it won't be too late to get married when I reach the age of twenty."
After saying this, he paced back and forth for a few steps before returning to the room. He and Bai Lingyi slept in the same room, and Bai Lingyi had already gone back to his room to review his lessons.
Zhu Jinyou secretly wiped his sweat. The situation on his side was still unclear. If Yan Xuan's troubles were to be added, who knows how furious the empress dowager would be.
Luo Yu looked at him with a half-smile, the corners of his mouth curled up: "You should thank me, right?"
Zhu Jinyou leaned forward and gently stroked the hair on her forehead with his hand.
The ambiguity between the two is like that of a couple who have been in love for many years.
"Miss Luo Yu has so many clever ideas. How do you want me to thank you?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it."
"it is good."
Zhu Jinyou couldn't stop smiling. Although she was full of evil thoughts, she was a very good person. She was not too greedy and was indifferent to many things, but she could hide all kinds of interests very deeply. What on earth should he give her to satisfy her?
The days on the boat were peaceful and calm.
Apart from Yan Xuan's occasional tantrums and outbursts, Luo Yu and Zhu Jinyou lived a sweet and beautiful life.
Luo Yu specially prepared a deck of cards and asked Zhu Jinyou and Bai Lingyi to play Landlord together.
Zhu Jinyou learned very quickly. From losing four times in a row at the beginning, he won repeatedly later on. Bai Lingyi almost lost all of the ten taels of silver he had to these two cunning men.
Yan Xuan would occasionally help Bai Lingyi from behind. After losing for the 38th time, Yan Xuan angrily said, "Xiaobai, don't play with them. These two are very cunning. They really are a pair."
Luo Yu smiled, his eyebrows curved.
"You need to use your brain when playing games. You should be on the team you're on. You really want to be the landlord, but don't you think you can win? Why are you blaming us for being cunning?"
Yan Xuan was furious: "But, you two keep making eye contact, isn't that wrong?"
Zhu Jinyou looked bewildered.
"Oh, did I? Maybe it's because I couldn't help but be affectionate when I saw Miss Luo Yu."
Luo Yu: You really know how to talk!
Yan Xuan sighed and patted Xiao Yi's head: "You are still too honest and not suitable to fight with these two people."
Xiao Yi handed him the cards: "How about you come?"
On Qin Bingrui's boat, however, there was silence.
Qin Bingrui asked Eunuch Yao to play cards, but Eunuch Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Erya, Sanya and Mei Zhengyan were originally sitting in the carriage. Erya and Sanya followed Xia Liang to another boat. When Mei Zhengyan tried to slip away, he was caught by Qin Bingrui.
Qin Bingrui and Mei Zhengyan stared at each other in boredom.
After dinner.
Qin Bingrui asked Mei Zhengyan, "How are your studies going lately? When we return to Liangzhou, I'll register you and your sister's household registration, and you can also take the boy's exam."
Mei Zhengyan's face flushed red as he stammered, "I'm afraid I can't do it."
"What's the matter? If it doesn't work this year, then we can do it next year. Anyway, you just need to get the status of a scholar, and then you can settle accounts and become a big manager in the future."
When these words fell into the ears of Eunuch Yao, he suddenly snorted. "Do you think it's so easy to pass the exam?" So many people are still students at such an old age.
Mei Zhengyan remained silent after hearing this, wondering in his heart why Brother Bingrui said that scholars can be caught everywhere.
Qin Bingrui took out his playing cards and said with a chuckle, "If you really can't do it, then study arithmetic well and learn painting from your sister Luo Yu later. It would be nice to become a master craftsman."
Mei Zhengyan lowered his head and said, "I want to be as powerful as Sister Luo Yu."
"Well, I'll teach you the quick calculation techniques for multiplication. Once you master them, your calculations will be at a higher level."
"it is good."
Mei Zhengyan had a strong talent for arithmetic and learned the skills in a short time.
秦炳锐想考考他:“111*10，122*20,133*30,我数到十你给我答案。”
Mei Zhengyan blurted out three answers without thinking.
Although Eunuch Yao ignored them, he heard everything they said. He frowned slightly, doubting whether Mei Zhengyan's answer was right or wrong.
