Du Bai thought for a while and laughed: "Maybe I don't want to be famous." ”

"Fame and fortune don't matter to me, or I would rather live a peaceful life. If I'm famous, I don't know how much trouble awaits me. Wouldn't it be better to enjoy the present life, peace and security, harmony and beauty? ”

He said it in a natural tone, and Su Zhirou looked at him in a daze for a long time, held it for a long time, and finally spit out two words from his mouth: "Stranger!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Bai was stunned, but she couldn't help laughing, and after laughing for a while, she gradually stopped, and looked at him with a look that seemed to re-recognize the person in front of her, her eyes flickering.

"How many people are out of reach for this kind of fame and fortune, but you are willing to give it to others, I really don't understand what you are thinking......"

"Hmm...... So do you really think that you are satisfied with the current situation of our Su family? She tilted her head slightly, her face showing some curiosity.

"You join our Su family, do you really have no grievances?"

Du Bai didn't expect her to ask such a direct question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

So in the end, she is just a spoiled little girl, dare to love and hate, dare to speak out, maybe as long as she follows her words, she will really accept herself, accept herself as her brother-in-law, and no longer deliberately embarrass herself.

It's actually a very simple thing, he just needs to pick a little bit of what is suitable to say. With just one sentence, it's all done.

It's just that at this moment, he looked at her innocent eyes that seemed to be glowing with starlight, but his heart moved, and after a little hesitation, he shook his head slightly and chuckled.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't have any grudges?"

"Or rather, it's just a lot of resentment."

Su Zhirou's eyes blinked, and there was a little surprise on her face, as if she didn't expect him to answer like this.

"Then why are you ......?"

"Because of time."

Du Bai said slowly, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "When I first entered the mansion, I was still a sour talent who was interested in the imperial examination, once my future was ruined, and all the hard work of ten years of hard work was invalidated, how could I not be angry in my heart?" complaining about his own incompetence, complaining about the injustice of this world, complaining about the corruption of his parents' family background......"

"It was only as time passed that I realized how pedantic and incompetent I was, and that I was good for nothing but reading a poem or two. It was also with the help of Wanmiao that I realized my true self again, I don't want to be bound by external things, I don't want to be restricted by the so-called rules, I don't have to pursue meaningless fame and power, and I don't have to work hard for food. ”

"I realized that the arrogance of the literati should not be limited to the surface, but should be hidden deep in the soul, and it is true to reflect every stroke and word."

"Maybe that's what I want. Now that the resentment is gone, maybe I should be grateful. ”

Du Bai spoke so eloquently, and his words were half-true and half-false, but some of them were indeed his heartfelt words.

To put it simply, if he can be clothed and eaten without struggle and be a little white face who eats soft rice, then he is really grateful!

But after all, we are cultured people, and if we speak so bluntly, we will definitely be disliked, and it will sound more pleasing to the ear if we are euphemistic.

Su Zhirou listened to this crooked truth quite fascinatingly, and was probably fooled in, looking at him with eyes that seemed to be softer and softer, but her face was slightly red: "You...... Do you like your sister so much? ”

Although she has written many love stories, she is still a little thin-skinned when she really faces the emotional stories around her.

And in Du Bai's words just now, the expression of emotion seemed to be overflowing.

Du Bai didn't answer clearly, but said, "Wanmiao is the woman I want to spend my life with." ”

No one can say what the future will hold, but at least at this moment, Su Wanmiao is the most suitable wife he has ever seen to spend his life with.

Su Zhirou nodded silently, stopped talking, her eyes drifted away, and she didn't know what she was thinking......

After a long time, the carriage finally reached its destination.

After the car stopped, the coachman respectfully lifted the curtain, and Du Bai was attracted by the scene in front of him as soon as he got off the carriage, and was slightly stunned.

"This is ......"

On the side of the embankment, a painting boat lit by red candlelight was resting here, and the sound of pianos, singing and other music could be faintly heard from the boat, the sound of people talking, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of the breeze caressing the river against the embankment in the night.

Several gentle, well-dressed ladies who were not revealing were waiting on the deck with lanterns, waiting for the guests to board the ship.

Wasn't this the boat he had seen dancing on the Oiran earlier?

He didn't expect to see each other again so soon, and at such a close distance!

"This young master, this painting boat has been chartered by our young master and friends tonight, all expenses are free, you can play with confidence."

A servant on the side bowed and said.

Hearing this, Du Bai once again had a new understanding of the generosity of these ancient rich second generations.

Judging from his previous understanding, this is tantamount to spending a lot of money!

It's just that when he was a little surprised, Su Zhirou, who came out with him, had already seen the strange appearance, but there was a bit of undisguised disdain in his eyes when he saw the painting boat that was flowing with a beautiful sound.

"These guys are still the same, they haven't grown at all."

It can be heard that this kind of banquet has been held before, and it did not leave a good impression on this little sister-in-law.

However, it is true that although the painting boat itself is a place of scholarly elegance, it is a place of fireworks after all. It's also a shame that Su Zhirou is not an ordinary woman, otherwise I am afraid that she would not have come to this kind of place at all.

When Du Bai went to the ship, he found that there were not as many people as expected.

There are two cabins in this boat, the upper deck is slightly hidden by a hazy curtain and cannot be seen clearly, and the spacious cabin on the lower deck is brightly lit, and a few faint wisps of sandalwood rise on the table and fill the air, adding a bit of mystery.

Through a few lights, you can see that there are more than a dozen people sitting inside, but there is nothing out of line. In the corner, you can hear the sound of the piano coming from you, and the people on the boat, perhaps because they haven't arrived yet, are sitting or standing in twos and threes chatting and gossiping.

The age is not very old, all of them are brocade and silk young people, there are not many women, there are only a few people at a glance, separated from the men by a distance, sometimes whispering and sometimes covering their mouths and chuckling, at a glance it can be seen that they are all beautiful girls.

In fact, the identity of the people who can come here is self-evident, most of them are some rich children who are idle and bored and join to learn to find excitement, and a few of them are guys who really have a strong interest in ghosts and gods, such as Sheng Yunting.

Of course, the latter is in the minority.
