Chapter 219: Flowers Blooming on the Road

Qingsong didn't know what the Marquis wanted to do now.

When Wen Zhiheng brought the prepared noodles to himself, he was deeply moved.

"I've tried a bowl and it tastes pretty good. Would you like to try it?"

Wen Zhiheng looked at the pine tree in disbelief, and all of a sudden, all the confusion that had accumulated in his heart disappeared like clouds.

Normally, he gave Qingsong many gifts, and Qingsong was grateful, but at this moment, he was given a bowl of noodles, and he was so moved that his eyes were red.

Obviously, something is worthless, but he treats it as a treasure, as if he has obtained something very precious.

Wen Zhiheng finally understood that a person's true heart is the most beautiful thing in the world.

He originally thought that he could buy a bowl of noodles anytime by paying money, so why bother making it himself?

The reality is, money can only buy appearance, but can never buy one person's devotion to another.

Making noodles and buying noodles with money are both eating noodles, but they are two different things.

Qingsong thinks it's a good idea for Master Hou to be like this.

He seemed to have become more open-minded. His usually gloomy face was now always smiling, and even when he was not smiling, he looked very gentle.

Outside the window of Lingyun Pavilion, pots of flowers and plants were moved in. After finishing his official duties, Wen Zhiheng rolled up his sleeves to water the plants, trimmed the branches with scissors, and sometimes loosened the soil with a small hoe...

Qingsong thought that what the Marquis did was very good, but Madam Wen did not think so.

"He does what people in their seventies and eighties do. Young men in their early thirties either race horses at the racecourse, go hunting in the mountains, drink with colleagues, or compose poems..."

"His heart is old..."

The shipping industry in Yuanzhou grew bigger and bigger, and Chen Shiyi made more and more money.

When I was little, I only dared to dream of myself eating a roast chicken.

She looked at her two ships, and at the top of the masts, red flags with the word "Chen" written on them fluttered in the wind.

She felt indescribable accomplishment and satisfaction in her heart.

If I can accomplish this in my life, it will not be in vain.

Behind him, Bailing handed a letter to Chen Shiyi.

This is Pei Luoshu's handwriting.

"Flowers are blooming on the roadside, so you can go home slowly."

Chen Shiyi's eyes turned red.

This is the shortest letter Pei Luoshu has ever written, but it is also the most important one.

He had solved all the problems and was just waiting for his return.

She explained all the matters in Yuanzhou, and then took Bailing, Boyuan and Fuda and rode to Jiangzhou.

After arriving in Tanzhou, Bailing suggested taking the water route.

"The water route is light and short, much faster than the land route."

The ship they were on was much more beautiful and exquisite than her two ships.

It was a large black house with high eaves and three large passenger cabins, all painted in gold and red, making it look grand and noble.

Business may be bad recently; apart from this group of people, there seemed to be no other passengers on board.

Chen Shiyi didn't care much about it. It was good to be alone and quiet without being disturbed.

The ship sailed slowly for five days.

No one else boarded the ship during this journey.

Chen Shiyi was very confused. How did this boatman make a living?

I didn’t see anyone on the ship helping to transport goods?

She shared her doubts with Fu Da.

But Fu Da didn't care.

"You must have been stupid staying in Yuanzhou. We have already entered Jiangzhou, which is Pei's territory. How could he let you get into trouble in his territory?"

Chen Shiyi smiled awkwardly.

“That’s right.”

The next day, I heard Bai Ling calling early in the morning.

"Sister, please come out quickly!"

Bailing's voice was urgent. Chen Shiyi put on his clothes and shoes, then hurried from the passenger cabin to the deck, where he saw a shocking scene.

Mist rises over the river, making it dense and hazy, like a fairyland. On both sides of the river, I don’t know when it started, but the random weeds or swaying reeds turned into swaying willows and melodious orioles. Walking further, both sides are full of rows of gorgeous weeping crabapples, green, bright red, and a mixture of colors, like pieces of clouds floating in the sky, hazy and dazzling.

A few small boats suddenly surrounded the big ship in front and behind.

Four in front and four in the back.

It seems to be for the purpose of protecting and escorting the big ship.

The boat was filled with bright red branches, and besides the boatman, there were two people in red clothes.

There was only one large ship on the river, with eight small boats in front and behind, and no other ships were seen.

On the dark green surface of the river, clear waves ripple slowly, spreading out slowly, and taking advantage of the clear river breeze, flying forward rapidly.

Bai Ling sighed.

"You are so beautiful, like a sedan chair. I want to marry you."

Chen Shiyi's eyes were filled with smiles, and his heart was filled with sweetness.

The crabapple blossoms are in bloom on the roadside.

The years are without praise, and the sunset glows red; the longing is eternal and far-reaching, and its roots grow deep.

She and he, with the clouds parted and the moon shining, finally met each other after traveling thousands of miles.

She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the morning dew that moistened her heart.

At dusk, the big ship stopped for a while, and another boat slowly approached, carrying a lot of things and many people on board, and then things gradually returned to calm.

When I woke up the next day and opened the cabin door, I found that it was surrounded by people.

Bailing led them into the small cabin, and then forced Chen Shiyi to sit on the bed.

"Sister, Master Pei brought you a letter. Open it and read it."

Chen Shiyi opened the red envelope, and inside was Pei Luoshu's handwriting.

"My surname is Pei, my given name is Luo Shu, and my courtesy name is Jian Yan. I have loved you for a long time. In this life, I wish to know you and stay with you, to bring you joy, to sing long songs to warm your life, to hold your hand, and to grow old with you. Are you willing?"

Bai Ling said with a smile.

"Sister, Master Pei is waiting for your reply."

Chen Shiyi smiled, took out a pen and ink, and wrote a word.

"Can!"

After receiving the letter, the messenger immediately disappeared from sight.

Afterwards, the people in the cabin were busy dressing and grooming Chen Shiyi. They also invited blessed people to sing blessings for her, comb her hair, and wash her face. The scene was busy but orderly.

Looking out of the cabin window, the crabapple trees on both sides were tied with red ribbons, dancing and swaying in the breeze. The boat was also hung with large red ribbon flowers. On the floor of the boat was an exquisite red carpet that covered the entire aisle.

Outside, on the bow of the boat, was a great scholar, holding a book and singing a prayer.

"The phoenix is ​​flying, and the phoenix tree is leaning on each other. The sound of the chirping birds is clear, and blessings and fortunes will return to them."

"A good marriage is predestined, and a good couple is made in heaven."

"May I be like a star and you like a moon, shining brightly every night."

…

After singing a line of lyrics, the sound of drums shook the sky and suona filled the air.

The crackling sound of firecrackers was endless, and it was very lively.

Chen Shiyi sat quietly in the cabin, enjoying the excitement that belonged to him.

I always look forward to this day coming soon, but when it comes it always feels unreal.

Maybe this is what they call panic!

All I could hear was the bustle outside mixed with a few people's voices.

"What should I do? I haven't even prepared a wedding gift for my boss."

"I wasn't prepared, but who knows? Pei doesn't play by the rules. He always has to come up with a surprise at his wedding. How can we bear this?"

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled.

These two people...
