It's a rare two days of leisure.
In the evening of that day, the spring rain, which was originally drizzling, became even heavier.
Zhuang Zhou sat in the pavilion, quietly sipping tea and watching the drizzle gently sink into the lake.
The fragrance of tea mixed with the freshness of rain makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Hongyu sat quietly by the side, adding tea to Zhuang Zhou's cup, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Young Master, there have been rumors in Chang'an lately that you are from the immortal realm. Is that true?"
Zhuang Zhou did not answer but asked:
"What do you think?"
Hongyu was slightly startled when she heard this, then chuckled and said:
“Young Master is mysterious and talented, and Hongyu is indeed difficult to guess.
But Hongyu believes that no matter where the young master comes from, he is the person Hongyu admires the most. "
After hearing this, Zhuang Zhou felt something in his heart.
He turned to look at Hongyu, and saw that her beautiful eyes were full of sincerity and admiration.
I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.
He gently held Hongyu's hand and said softly:
“Hongyu, no matter where I come from, you are the most important person to me in this world.
Because of you, I feel more beautiful in Chang'an."
Hongyu blushed when she heard this. She lowered her head and said softly:
"Sir, you are too kind. Hongyu is just your maid. How can I deserve such praise from you?"
Zhuang Zhou shook his head and said:
"Hongyu, you are not my maid, but my confidant."
Hongyu nodded slightly, a hint of shyness appeared on her face, and she asked softly:
"It's already night, would you like to take a bath and rest early?"
“No rush!”
After these two days, I still feel a little exhausted.
Zhuang Zhou picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said:
"It's rare to have such peace and quiet. I want to sit here for a while longer."
Hongyu nodded without saying anything more, just quietly accompanying Zhuang Zhou.
The two of them sat in the pavilion, enjoying this rare peaceful time.
To be honest, Zhuang Zhou almost wanted to settle down in Chang'an.
But his parents are still alive, and he can't let go of this family affection.
As the night deepened, the rain became heavier.
But neither of them seemed to have any intention of leaving.
After an unknown amount of time, Hongyu suddenly spoke:
"Sir, I heard that you recited a lot of poetry at the palace banquet a while ago, and now the news has spread throughout Chang'an."
Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that my little talent would spread so quickly."
Hongyu smiled and said:
"Sir, you are too modest. The scholars and writers in Chang'an City are all full of praise for you.
Some merchants have already printed and collected the poems and are selling them on the market."
This surprised Zhuang Zhou a little.
There was no awareness of copyright in ancient times.
It seems that poetry can be printed and sold.
Merchants make money, poets earn fame.
However, Zhuang Zhou no longer cared about these trivial matters. He smiled faintly and said:
“In fact, poetry is just a minor art and not worth mentioning.
What I care more about is doing something big in Chang'an, in the Tang Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Hongyu couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Sir, are you referring to the transformation of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Exactly."
Zhuang Zhou nodded and said:
“I come from another world, a world where immortals are born.
In that world, humans can do many things you can't imagine.
For example, people can talk to each other over thousands of miles.
It only takes one hour to get from Chang'an to Jiangnan.
Even humans can go to the moon..."
Hongyu listened attentively and nodded, saying:
"What you said is truly incredible."
"What? You don't believe it?"
"No! I believe everything you say.
But what the young master said was so mysterious that Hongyu really wanted to go and see it!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhuang Zhou eagerly.
Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned. Why was this issue mentioned again?
Hongyu had previously suggested that she wanted to visit Zhuang Zhou's hometown.
But how could Zhuang Zhou dare to agree so easily!
This is like bringing an ancient person back to modern society.
Who knows, what might happen?
Zhuang Zhou shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"Hongyu, the world I'm talking about is too far away from you.
At least for now, it’s not easy to get there.”
Hongyu felt a little disappointed when she heard this.
But then he cheered up and said:
"As long as you are willing, Hongyu is willing to stay by your side forever, no matter how difficult the road ahead is."
Zhuang Zhou was deeply moved after hearing this.
He gently held Hongyu's hand and said:
“Hongyu, I can’t promise you this yet.
Let’s talk about it when there’s a chance!
I will definitely let you see the world I'm talking about."
"good!"
Hongyu nodded.
The two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and trust in each other became deeper.
The rain is still falling.
It seemed that in this continuous spring rain, Zhuang Zhou found endless fun and pleasure.
"Mr. Zhuang!"
Just then.
Niu Dali hurried in and saluted Zhuang Zhou.
"Boss Zhuang, there's a carriage outside. They said they're here to take you to the palace."
"Oh, who is it?"
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to the palace for a chat."
It seems it’s because of the imperial examination.
This has to go.
Zhuang Zhou nodded slightly and said to Hongyu:
"Hongyu, go take a shower and rest first!
