"Did you send Hongmian abroad really because you found a girl you liked?"
As far as I can remember, Hongmian couldn't wait to find him a partner.
They shouldn't be trying to sabotage things.
Song Nanzhou chuckled:
"I can't keep her trapped by my side forever. Besides, I can give her the wealth, honor, and family she wants. But when it comes to love, I'm blind to it and can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. To borrow a phrase from you literary people, I only have one life, and I can't generously give it to someone I don't love."
It seems that spending so much time together has finally won over that young girl who is just beginning to experience love.
Tang Li became even more curious:
"So who exactly is the girl you like?"
Song Nanzhou, with a smile on his face, told her:
"One day, you will see her in the crowd."
It's quite mysterious!
Since he was unwilling to talk about it, Tang Li did not press him further.
Just as the time was about right, the banquet hall suddenly became lively, presumably because everyone had arrived. Tang Li took a deep breath and extended his hand:
"Mr. Song, let's go over there. Do you need me to take your arm?"
Song Nanzhou slightly bent his arm, and after Tang Li took his hand, he lowered his head and smiled:
"When you see Shen Yu later, stay away from him. I'm afraid he might draw his sword and splatter blood on the spot, which would scare you."
He's quite humorous!
Tang Li replied to him:
"Don't worry, he's having tea with Officer Chen right now, so he can't reach that far."
The two of them walked out hand in hand, attracting the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.
It's not just because they have exceptionally good looks, but also because of their respective identities.
The lottery ceremony was very simple, without any tricks or shady dealings. It was just like not knowing how to answer multiple-choice questions in school: you write down a few answers on a piece of paper and then randomly draw one.
The entire process was conducted in front of everyone. Even the person who wrote their three names on the paper was chosen by Song Bocheng, who threw a small ball into the crowd. Whoever got the ball would host the lottery.
As soon as the rules were announced, the attendees at the party began to discuss them animatedly.
Everyone felt that the lottery was very casual, not rigorous at all, and did not give the deceased elders sufficient respect.
Regarding this, the filial son Song Bocheng had to read aloud the last words left by his father in person.
The content of the will was nothing more than that the person who could be chosen to take charge of the Eastern Song Dynasty must be an outstanding person, and whoever took over the Eastern Song Dynasty would be a blessing to the Eastern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, rather than engaging in prejudiced competition, the old man preferred to follow the will of Heaven.
But in Tang Li's view, the old man must know that things have come to this point because the Eastern Song Dynasty could not find a person who could make everyone obey and follow orders, so he resorted to this desperate measure.
The drawing ceremony officially began. Song Bocheng, holding a small ball, glanced at the crowded banquet hall, turned his back, and threw it forcefully behind him.
In the past, throwing things like this would always cause a crowd to scramble for them.
Today was an exception. The person who was hit by the ball first acted as if he had touched a hot potato and hurriedly threw it to the person next to him.
The ball was passed around like this, and finally, in a rather dramatic turn of events, it ended up in Tang Li's hands.
