Chapter 738 A family outing
Li Ran said goodbye to Zhao Yang and stood alone for a while before returning to the mansion.
Passing by Liguang's window, he heard Gong Eryue and Liguang talking inside the house, so he stepped aside first.
But seeing Gong Eryue shaking her head, Liguang said:
"Could it be...that my father is not good enough for my second mother?"
Gong Eryue sighed:
"Sigh... Guang'er is still young and doesn't know much about this. And... now is not the time to talk about this..."
Liguang raised her mouth and looked unhappy:
"But... I just want to see you two together... And Er Niang, my father must have the same idea?"
Gong Eryue smiled, but shook her head and said:
"You are a little kid, but you are a big kid. Do you know what your father thinks?"
Liguang said playfully:
"Although I haven't asked my father, he treats you differently... I'm not young anymore, so how can I not tell the difference? And I know that Er Niang must also have feelings for his father. Since you two If we love each other, why can't we be together?"
Gong Eryue just sighed again and said:
"The identity of Er Niang... is different from that of ordinary people."
Liguang disagreed:
"Er Niang is a talented person from the Yue Kingdom. Everyone in the world already knows this. What does it have to do with it? As a good friend of Mr. Confucius, he is the most particular about etiquette and so on. Even he is trying his best to win over Why do you two and Er Niang insist on refusing?"
Gong Eryue was stunned for a long time, and then said:
"Guang'er, isn't it good to be like this now? If two people are together... why do they have to get married?"
Liguang tilted her head with an innocent expression:
"Er Niang, do you know? Sometimes I feel that you are my mother!"
"My mother left me when I was very young, but I still remember her appearance. Although Er Niang and my mother have different temperaments, Er Niang has many habits and has too many shadows of my mother. So. , I have felt since I was a child that you are my mother!"
"It's just that now it seems that Er Niang's age is indeed a bit inconsistent. I also know that Er Niang is definitely not...but in my heart, you are no different from my mother!"
Gong Eryue couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard Liguang's heartfelt words. However, she didn't say anything else. After being silent for a long time, she continued:
"Hey...well, Guang'er is still young, there are some things you won't understand..."
Liguang said disapprovingly:
"How can I say I'm still young when I've already reached the age of hairpins? Er Niang, if you have any troubles, just tell me! Maybe my father and I can help you solve it?"
But seeing Gong Eryue looking like he was hesitating to speak, when the words came to his lips, he finally said:
"In the future... you and your father will understand!"
After Gong Eryue finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave. Liguang looked at Gong Eryue's back and sighed deeply, shook her head, and lay on the couch, looking at the roof, not knowing what to do.
Because Li Ran overheard the conversation between them, he didn't want Li Guang to see him at this time, so he just left from the window silently.
"What is Yue'er's reason?"
Li Ran was also thinking hard in his heart. No matter how intelligent he is, he still can't figure out the key...
As all the princes and ministers attending the court appointment left Chengzhou, Chengzhou also returned to its former peace.
On this day, Li Ran took Gong Eryue and Liguang on a rare outing. In fact, he also wanted to take this opportunity to clarify the matter with Gong Eryue.
Fan Li was worried about Li Ran's safety and also followed him. The four of them took a carriage together and arrived at the outskirts of Chengzhou. Looking at the green grass growing one after another, it can be said that it is full of spring. The breeze passed by, and a patch of green microwaves floated, giving it a unique grandeur.
The four of them got off the carriage and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them. Liguang was very happy.
In recent years, although she has not been depressed with Gong Eryue's company, the opportunities for the whole family to go out and play together like now are really rare.
Liguang stepped forward and hugged Li Ran, and said happily:
"Father, look! It's so beautiful!"
The four of them looked into the distance and saw deer running in the grass and cranes chirping. Li Ran couldn't help but chant:
"Yo yo, the deer roars, eat the apples of the wild!"
Gong'er Yuehe said:
"The drums, harps, drums and harps are harmonious and superb!"
Li Ran glanced at Gong Eryue. When Ji Le was still alive, the two of them got together less often and separated more often. But during the rare gatherings, just like now, they would sing and harmonize with each other from time to time, and they were very harmonious.
Seeing this, Liguang also joined in the fun:
"The crane roars in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky." Fan Li blurted out:
"There is a sandalwood tree with a grain underneath."
Liguang smiled and said:
"Hey? Mr. Ah Li can do that! Didn't you like poetry the most before?"
Fan Li then laughed and said:
"Haha, didn't Kong Zhongni always say, 'If you don't learn poetry, how can you speak'? Fan Li didn't understand the beauty of this "Poetry" in the past, so he was blind and ignorant! Besides, Guang'er likes it, I don't care It also needs to be involved."
Liguang then came to the Luoshui River and murmured:
"Although the scenery here is pleasant, the Luoshui River is too turbulent. I heard that the flowing water in the south is gentle and moisturizes things silently, but I don't know whether it is true or not?!"
Li Ran smiled and said:
"The rivers in the south are indeed different from the majestic rivers and rivers in the Central Plains. They have a different kind of graceful beauty. If there is a chance, my father will take you to the south to play together in the future. How about it?"
"My father knows that there is a lake (West Lake) in the south, called 'Qiantang'. It is said that its scenery is extremely beautiful!"
Liguang couldn't help but said:
"Qiantang..."
Seeing her like this, I really wanted to go over and take a look right away.
When Fan Li heard this, he also said:
"I've heard about Qiantang before. It's truly a beautiful place! And it's said that the lake is as calm as a rock, and you can even row a boat on it. It's so relaxing!"
While Li Ran listened, he couldn't help but secretly said:
"West Lake...that place is really good. It is remote and far away from the disputes in the Central Plains. If you can live in seclusion there...it would be a wonderful place!"
Liguang asked:
"Where is Qiantang?"
Fan Li said:
"It's far away in the country of Yue... It must be more than three thousand miles away from here to the south!"
Liguang felt quite regretful after hearing this:
"Huh? So far away? And...it's said that there's a war going on there, so I'm afraid it's not safe..."
Fan Li said disapprovingly:
"Although there are constant wars between Wu and Yue, the country of Yue is a vast and sparsely populated place after all. And most of its people are gathered near the Jianghuai River. The Qiantang side is indeed sparsely populated!"
Liguang couldn't help but cheered after hearing this:
"Then we must go there from now on! Father, Er Niang, Mr. Ah Li, we will all go!"
Li Ran said with a smile:
"Okay, if we have a chance, we'll go over there and have a look!"
At this time, Liguang suddenly turned to Gong Eryue and said:
"That's right! Speaking of which, that's Er Niang's hometown!"
Li Ran felt a little strange after hearing this. Gong Eryue seemed to be extremely unfamiliar with her hometown.
It was as if she had never been there, let alone come from there. Now that Liguang had revealed it, Gong Eryue just said calmly:
"Qiantang is still a long way from Er Niang's home! So even Er Niang has never been there!"
After the four of them spoke, they found a scenic spot and settled down.
Fan Li stood up and said:
"Sir, there are a lot of wild animals around here. How about I go catch some and bring them back?"
Li Ran nodded and said:
"Well, be careful!"
So Fan Li immediately left with his bow and arrow, and Liguang also became interested at this time:
"Alijun, I'll go with you!"
Fan Li wanted to refuse, but then he thought it would be a good idea to let Gong Eryue and Li Ran be alone here, so he said:
"Then... Guang'er needs to be careful. Don't let the beast scare you when you follow me?"
Liguang smiled and said:
"Hmph! Mr. Ah Li looks down on others. Liguang also learned some self-defense techniques from Er Niang, so she can protect herself!"
