Qiu Sanniang knew he was testing her feelings, but she pretended to be confused: "Why are you going to see your grandmother?"
Yun Zhao's heart pounded like thunder.
He had never been so nervous before.
Even my first time on the battlefield was much easier than this.
Third Sister has just returned. Logically, he shouldn't be in such a hurry. They can take their time getting to know each other and wait for the right opportunity before proposing to her.
But he didn't want to wait any longer.
He had waited for more than seven hundred days and nights, and endured countless torments.
He was finally back, and he didn't want to be separated from her for even a moment longer, nor did he want to suffer the pain of longing for her again.
The thick smoke from the steam train has dissipated, and the setting sun is painting large swaths of clouds orange-gold.
The rich, colorful light shone on Third Sister's face, making her features incredibly sharp, and her smiling eyes and brows resembled those of a compassionate Bodhisattva.
She was his Bodhisattva.
To convert him.
So, she probably won't refuse, right?
With that thought in mind, he finally made up his mind and spoke out.
“I was raised by my grandmother when I was little. She said that if I ever found a girl I loved, I would definitely take her home to meet her. I love you, so I want to take you home to meet her.”
After saying that, he stared at her intently, waiting for her answer.
He had confessed his feelings to her two years ago, but Qiu San Niang had not accepted them.
She had too many concerns at that time.
Now that Yi Shuihan has taken power, everything in Da Xi has been renewed, and she no longer needs to worry about implicating him.
Her two-year round-the-world voyage has also given her a new perspective on life.
Life is unpredictable.
The person who was laughing and chatting with you one moment may suddenly pass away the next.
Today your legs are perfectly fine, but tomorrow a simple fall could leave you with a hidden injury that will never heal, causing you suffering for the rest of your life.
If you don't cherish the person you love when they're right in front of you, it's too late to regret it after you lose them.
She didn't want to be the one who sighed in vain, and she didn't want to give up on her love for any reason.
She doesn't want the past, she doesn't want the future, she only wants this moment.
At this moment, her heart told her that she liked the person in front of her and wanted to be with him every moment.
So, meeting his anxious gaze, she smiled and replied, "It's not easy for you to take a vacation, let's go back to Beijing and hold the wedding there."
Yun Zhao almost thought he was hallucinating.
He looked at Qiu Sanniang in disbelief. Her eyes were so firm, as if to say: You heard me right, I really did say I would have a wedding.
For a moment, he felt a pang of regret.
He actually told her something so important in the crowded and noisy train station.
That's such a waste of her response.
I remembered what Xiao Qingyin had said: on her birthday, Yi Shuihan made a hot air balloon that could fly into the sky and take her to see the sunrise and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the capital.
He should borrow that hot air balloon and take Third Sister up to see the sky.
She has already traveled across the ocean and to neighboring countries, so she probably has little interest in land scenery anymore.
Only the scenery in the sky could give her a novel experience.
Alternatively, you should tell her when you take the train back to Beijing.
Trains are at least a unique place.
But thinking about it any further is futile.
His words had already been spoken, and she had already responded. Time could not be turned back, so he could prepare everything perfectly, something new and wonderful.
So he felt very ashamed: "Third Sister, I should have said this somewhere else."
Qiu San Niang found it quite amusing.
She stood there frozen in front of everyone, lost in thought for what? Turns out it was some trivial matter.
"What difference does it make where you say it? Would I sound better if I said it in a different place?"
Yun Zhao smiled sheepishly.
Qiu Sanniang glanced at the sky and guessed that her fleet had already entered the city, so she said, "Let's go book tickets first, and then go to the inn to see if my people have arrived."
"good."
The two went to the ticket office together and booked tickets to return to Beijing three days later.
Qiu Sanniang also ordered both freight cars of that train.
She wanted to bring the plants, animals, seeds, specimens, books, handicrafts, and other items collected from various countries to the capital and present them to the imperial court.
After booking the tickets, Yun Zhao escorted Qiu San Niang to the inn, and then returned to his residence in Nan Yue City.
As I reflected on everything that had happened during the day at night, a "cooing" sound came from outside the window.
It's a pigeon that came to deliver a message.
Upon learning that Yun Shu had safely given birth to a daughter and was beginning to recover, he was overjoyed and couldn't wait to go to the inn the next day to share the good news with Qiu San Niang.
Qiu Sanniang clicked her tongue in amazement: "This is the first time I've ever heard of something like this. Your sister is amazing. She managed to save both her own life and her child's life."
Yun Zhao sighed, "She's been capable since she was a child. If she hadn't been unable to work for the past few years, she would definitely have shone brightly."
Since the promulgation of the new law, which allowed women to take the imperial examinations and enter officialdom, many female scholars and successful candidates emerged in the autumn examinations across the country, some even achieving the highest honors in the three major examinations.
After the upcoming imperial examinations, a group of female scholars and officials will be selected.
The imperial examinations of today are not like those of the past, which only tested knowledge of the classics, essays, and policy proposals; they now test a wide range of subjects.
Even elderly farmers or craftsmen with limited literacy could be recommended step by step based on their rich practical experience.
The army also began recruiting female soldiers and generals.
Xiao Shu is so skilled and has studied military strategy; she'll definitely be able to join the army.
pity……
Qiu Sanniang laughed heartily: "Xiao Shu is still young, she has plenty of opportunities. Once she recovers, she will definitely be able to make a name for herself."
Yun Zhao nodded: "You're right, she has a long way to go."
On the day of departure, Qiu San Niang sent someone to deliver the goods to the train carriage, and then they all traveled back to the capital together.
