Chapter Seventy-Three: I Want to Marry You

"What can I do?" Zhou Xiya's eyes couldn't help but widen, although she didn't know the word star chaser, but looking at it, it was almost the same, how could she handle such a difficult group.

"The three stinkers have competed against Zhuge Liang, there are many people and many ways, and they can always change my cousin's problem, even if they can't change it, they have to let her restrain a little, if it goes on like this, how can she get married." Chen Yishan pleaded pitifully, her uncle sent her cousin to her house and asked her to help educate her, she was dying of sorrow these days, her ears were Zhou Hua all day long, Zhou Hua was that, so that she didn't have time to prepare her dowry, if it was someone else, she would have played it out a long time ago, but this is her cousin, she can't beat or scold, and she can only contribute her own ears to let her destroy, it's really miserable.

"Cousin, what are you talking about, look, Zhou Hua is out, Zhou Hua ...... Zhou Hua ......" Feng Ying suddenly stood up and waved her arms vigorously, she was only an eleven-year-old girl, and it was the time to be energetic.

Zhou Xiya wanted to say something, but the room was full of people, and no one heard her even when she spoke, Zhou Xiya saw the charm of a singer for the first time.

Zhou Xiya couldn't help but be curious, what kind of character is this, it can make people boil, even if her father is on the battlefield, he is not so lively.

I saw a man in red walking out of the stage, his clothes were different from the traditional men's shirts, the top was very short, and the lower body was pants. Aren't pants worn underneath? How he wears it outside. This unique design made Zhou Xiya feel very weird. The weirdest thing is that this Zhou Hua's hair, men are all long-haired, mostly square, pay attention to the parents of the body's hair and skin, and must not be easily damaged, at most, it is trimmed in private, where will it be lost, let alone such a short loss like Zhou Hua, if some old pedants see it, it will definitely be scolded unseemly.

"See you all again. How are you? Zhou Hua greeted everyone.

"Good...... Zhou Hua...... Zhou Hua ......" The little girls at the scene screamed.

Zhou Xiya felt that her eardrums hurt. Just seeing Chen Yishan's gaze, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Today I bring you my new song "You Just Want a Fire in Winter"" Zhou Hua waved his hand to suppress the voice present.

There was immediately silence below...... "You are like a fire in winter...... The fire warmed my heart...... Every time you sneak past me...... The firelight illuminated my ......"

Zhou Hua was followed by a dancer, dancing happily and with a large range of movements. And it's all men dancing. This unique way of performing. This powerful lyrics, sung straightforwardly, I think it is the only magic weapon to attract young people.

I saw Feng Ying clenching her fists tightly. With a light in his eyes, he looked at Zhou Hua on the first floor singing loudly, and even wanted to sing along, but unfortunately this was a new song, if it was another song, they would sing along together, Zhou Hua's song was already ripe for them.

Zhou Xiya shook her head, is she really old and can't accept such a new thing, she really doesn't think this way of singing is so good, she is still used to listening to elegant literati sing those beautiful poems, using poetry as music, there is a charm, such songs are too restless, so that she can't understand it in two lifetimes.

However, this simple lyrics and straightforward way of singing can indeed be sung more, after all, not everyone can understand ancient poems.

"It's a little interesting" Zhou Guangbi obviously likes such songs very much, stood up and held the railing, and watched it with Feng Ying happy.

"Second brother, you sit, I'll go out for a walk, there are too many people here, I'm a little depressed." Zhou Xiya stood up.

"Shall I go with you?" Chen Yishan wanted to get up.

"No, I'm just going to go outside for a walk, let's watch here with your second brother, I'm fine." Zhou Xiya pressed her, shook her head, and squeezed out of the crowd.

Laboriously walked out, stood at the door, and looked at the night outside, although it was cold, but he liked the tranquility very much.

I can't help but stretch out my arms, raise my chin slightly, and close my eyes, feeling as if I am embracing the moonlight.

Creaking, the sound of feet stepping on the snow, Zhou Xiya opened her eyes and saw the approaching person.

"It seems that I am disturbing Miss Zhou." Li Mu stood in front of Zhou Xiya gently.

"Li Gongzi? What a coincidence? Zhou Xiya withdrew her arm and squatted slightly to salute.

"It's a coincidence, I heard that it will be very lively here today, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Zhou here, Miss Zhou came here to watch Zhou Hua sing?" Li Muwen asked with a smile

"I came over with a friend, but there were too many people inside, and I felt a little depressed, so I came out for a walk, Li Gongzi thought it was too late, and Zhou Hua's performance had already begun." Zhou Xiya walked down the steps, and the distance between the two of them improved.

"It's okay, I didn't come to listen to the song originally, I can see Miss Zhou here, my trip is not in vain, listen to Miss, you don't like Zhou Hua's songs?" Li Mu's casual remark made Zhou Xiya's cheeks hot.

"Maybe my temperament is too boring, and I'm not used to this way of singing." Zhou Xiya shook her head.

"This is also, the emergence of every new thing, always give people time to adapt, such songs are also created for those young people, mainly for them, they are more receptive, but Miss Zhou is a young lady from a large family, deeply educated by etiquette rules, may prefer spring and white snow and the like." Li Mu nodded, at that time, he did this, just to make money, but also to secretly lay his own forces, you must know that since ancient times, restaurants and Qinglou are good places to collect news, but such industries in the capital have long been stained with people, and it is not easy to break through from this aspect, so he can only find a new way, starting with young people, and slowly broaden his sources of information.

Zhou Xiya smiled silently, it was a tacit acquiescence, although the spring and white snow were beautiful, sometimes she preferred the heroism of the war song, that is the real song, there is nothing more shocking than the song of protecting the family and defending the country.

"Since Miss Zhou thinks it's stuffy inside, why don't I accompany you for a walk outside, now the moonlight is thick. It's not safe for you to be a girl outside. Li Mu spoke.

"Okay," Zhou Xiya nodded.

The two of them walked on the snow in the moonlight, stepping on a creaking sound, leaving four shallow traces.

"Are you going to marry Dugu Jin?" Li Mu suddenly spoke, he was not a stingy person in personal feelings, he just thought that Zhou Xiya and his wife were too similar, he couldn't tell whether it was because he missed his wife or liked this Zhou Xiya, but after Dugu Jin proposed in front of the palace this time. Let him see his heart. He only knew that he didn't want to miss her, he didn't want to regret it, he had already missed it once. Can't be wrong a second time.

Zhou Xiya looked at Li Mu in surprise. What does he mean by that? Is it just an inquiry?

"Don't marry him, okay" Li Mu hugged Zhou Xiya's shoulder.

"Don't marry him. Marry you? Zhou Xiya lowered her head and spoke.

"Yes, I like you, I'm going to marry you. I hope you can marry me, I won't make too many promises to you, but I can do it as the only woman in this life, and I will be with you until I grow old. Li Mu and Zhou Xiya looked at each other, and their eyes were sincere.

Although he came to ancient times, he didn't think about following the customs of the countryside and living a life of three wives and four concubines, what he still wanted was to grow old with his beloved, three thousand weak waters, only take one scoop, and after a hundred years, only one person would lie beside him, which was enough.

Zhou Xiya looked at him faintly, her heart was like a deer, all she wanted was love like her parents, a couple for a lifetime.

"Can you do it?" Zhou Xiya was very unsure.

"I can" Li Mu didn't swear any gambling curses, just three simple words, these three words represent all his promises.

"I believe you" Zhou Xiya smiled, she saw the sincerity in this man's eyes, this look, he saw it in his father's eyes, when his father looked at his mother's relics, he was so soft, and when the third uncle looked at his aunt, he also looked like this, such eyes could not be pretended, at this moment she knew that this man really liked her, and that was enough.

"Really?" Li Mu was still a little incredulous, seeing Zhou Xiya nodding, he excitedly picked up Zhou Xiya and circled in place, "Woo...... I've found you......" He found the man who had been with him for the rest of his life.

"Huh...... Put me down...... Let me come down......" Zhou Xiya smiled and patted Li Mu's shoulder, but she didn't expect Li Mu to be happy, less mature and more energetic.

"Xiya, after the New Year, I will send a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage." Li Mu put down Zhou Xiya and said.

"Don't worry, if you want to marry me, how can it be so easy, wait until you pass my father and my brother, otherwise my father will never agree to our marriage." Zhou Xiya hurriedly shook her head, although she directly mentioned Li Mu to her father, but she knew that her father would not marry her off easily, and she didn't know how to embarrass Li Mu at that time.

"Okay, listen to you, General Zhou loves his daughter very much, I understand, I am not afraid to accept his test." Li Mu is very confident in himself.

"Come less, my dad is so powerful, how can it be so easy for you to pass the level." Zhou Xiya laughed.

"It's said that girls are outgoing, when the time comes, you will help me, what am I afraid of." Li Mu blinked.

"I won't help you, it's too late to see you lively," Zhou Xiya joked.

"Okay, if you don't help me, see how I clean you up." Li Mu deliberately pretended to arrest Zhou Xiya.

"You can't catch me......" Zhou Xiya dodged, I don't know why, as long as she is with Li Mu, she will be very happy, forget all her troubles, and return to the heart that a sixteen-year-old girl should have, this is probably fate.

The two returned to the hall, squeezed through the crowd, and the two came to the front of the first floor, where Zhou Hua was singing a love song.

"You ask me how much I love you...... I love you a little bit...... My love is unwavering...... My love doesn't change...... The moon represents my heart......"

The people in the hall were intoxicated, Zhou Xiya listened quietly, a simple love song, at this time there were people she liked, but it sounded extraordinarily touching her heart.

Li Mu seemed to have all the feelings, and Zhou Xiya looked at each other, with a soft light, the two seemed to be lovers who had been together for a long time, they didn't have any strangeness to each other, not like people who had only met a few times, and couldn't help but quietly hold her hand.

"Like this song?" Li Mu leaned into Zhou Xiya's ear and asked softly.

"I like it, but does the moon really represent a person's heart? The moon is cloudy and sunny, and when it is round, it is beautiful and big, just like the relationship between two people at the beginning, as sweet as honey, but after a few years, when the woman looks old, the rest seems to be tired of seeing each other. Zhou Xiya didn't know why she suddenly had this sigh.

"And what do you like to be like? The sun? Li Mu asked, Xiya is really different from ordinary girls.

"The sun is so blazing that it can burn everything, although it makes people feel the intensity of love, but such strong feelings are not something that anyone can bear. I hope that my future feelings can be plain and bland, just a long stream, neither like the moon, cloudy and sunny, nor as strong and domineering as the sun" Zhou Xiya lightly told her emotional outlook.

Li Mu looked at Zhou Xiya with deep eyes, he didn't choose the wrong person.

"Let's go, there are too many people here, I know there's a private room here, it's quiet, let's go and sit there." Li Mu whispered.

This dance hall was built by him, and naturally the best room was reserved for himself, but he hadn't been in it, so now he could pretend to be a public servant.

"Okay" Zhou Xiya nodded, Zhou Hua's performance still has a long time, I found a service staff and asked him to pass a message to the second brother, and this time I followed Li Mu to the private room on the third floor.

"It's really nice here, it's much cleaner than the second floor, close the door, and you can't hear the sound outside." Zhou Xiya looked at the room after coming in, and couldn't help but be curious, Li Mu was able to get such a private room, you know, you can find a good location on the second floor, but it is not possible to have money, Li Mu is not the son of an idle marquis. The position of the marquis of the Li family is obtained from the dragon's merits, and it will be inherited by demotion in the future, in this place in the capital, the position of the marquis is not as capable as an official with real power, but it is just a showmanship.

But just now Li Mu took out a waist card, and the service staff guarding the door opened the door.

"No matter how lively the place is, there is also a clean place, but it is just for your own comfort." Li Mu poured Zhou Xiya a cup of tea.

"I remember that your second brother is not a person who likes to watch the excitement, he usually doesn't come on such occasions, why did he come here today?" Li Mu asked casually.

"Accompanied me and my second sister-in-law, you really know him, he really doesn't like it very much, by the way, let me ask you a question, I have a friend who likes this Zhou Hua outside, is there any way to make her less obsessed with this Zhou Hua? After all, it is unorthodox, and if there are any rumors, it will also hinder my friend's marriage in the future. Zhou Xiwan asked a little evasively, without directly saying who it was.
