Chapter 153
Duan Li is not ugly, he has the name of a water fairy in the rivers and lakes, and he is a famous beauty in the martial arts.
But now that she is standing in front of Zhu Junliu and making no secret of her love for her, she still makes him completely speechless. Luo Xiu, who originally felt unbalanced, laughed gloating when he saw him like this.
Fortunately, Duan Li, as a child of the rivers and lakes, was very free and easy, but he didn't force Zhu Junliu to say anything, only that sooner or later he would accept himself.
After she left, Zhu Junliu had palpitations and asked Luo Xiu if she could hurry up or go another way.
Zhu Junliu, who has lived for two lifetimes, was shown his love so bluntly for the first time, and he couldn't bear it for a while, he had never met such a straightforward girl.
The two have only met once, and they haven't even spoken, what does she like about herself?
It's no wonder that Zhu Junliu can't figure it out, although he is a famous beautiful man in the capital, he doesn't care about the appearance of men, where did he ever think that there is such a person in the world, and he will like it with only one side.
Luo Xiu couldn't laugh anymore, he said seriously that the route could not be changed, and teased Zhu Junliu, is it not good for someone to do everything in front?
Zhu Junliu thanked Bumin, and just wanted to hurry to Guangxi and avoid Duan Li.
In fact, Duan Li is not a person without measure, and he didn't do anything excessive after seeing Zhu Junliu's appearance that day. However, because they knew her identity and purpose, Zhu Junliu and his party naturally would not accept those anymore.
The speed of the rush still accelerated, and after arriving in Jiangnan, Duan Li appeared again.
"Zhu Gongzi, our house is nearby, why don't you go to my house to live."
Zhu Junliu waved his hand, dodged Duan Li, who was leaning over, and said, "Don't bother, I appreciate Miss Duan's kindness." β
At this time, Luo Xiu spoke: "If you don't agree, I have to go too, and from here we have to take a boat instead." β
Zhu Junliu looked at Luo Xiu, not understanding whether he had planned to do so a long time ago or deliberately rectified himself.
It's just that Luo Xiu's official appearance doesn't look fake, but this is actually his temporary idea.
Although the imperial court explicitly prohibits shipping, who has money to make will be too little, and the greater the risk, the higher the return.
As the saying goes, the bold starve to death the faint-hearted, and the leader of the Cao Gang is a bold one, and he has a few boats that can go to sea. Of course, this matter is illegal after all, and the general friendship is not to want to get on the ship.
But now it's different, Duan Li has taken a fancy to Zhu Junliu, and Duan Gang Leader is also very clear about this. The children of the rivers and lakes have never had so many things to do, and he has already regarded Zhu Junliu as his son-in-law, so he naturally responded to Luo Xiu's request happily.
So this group lived in the Cao Gang.
Gang Master Duan personally greeted him, and also arranged a banquet for everyone to catch the wind. During the banquet, Duan Li's wine to Zhu Junliu never stopped, and Duan Gang Master touched his beard and smiled while watching, seemingly very satisfied with his daughter's favorite candidate.
Looking at the appearance of the father and daughter, Zhu Junliu felt awake from the wine he drank. But in the end, he still couldn't resist the rotation of so many people in the Cao Gang and got drunk.
The drunk Zhu Junliu still maintained a trace of clarity in his heart, grabbed Luo Xiu's arm and didn't let go, he couldn't break it off, Duan Li wanted to take care of Zhu Gongzi after being drunk, and he didn't have a chance.
Luo Xiu dragged the unconscious Zhu Junliu back, and after placing him, Zhu Junliu opened his eyes.
Although he still doesn't look sober, it's clear that Zhu Gongzi's alcohol consumption is definitely quite good.
"You're awake, then I'll go and find Miss Duan, she wanted to take care of you just now."
Zhu Junliu rubbed his head and said, "Don't tease me, you can say something directly." β
He could see that at the banquet, Luo Xiu didn't stop drinking at all, which was equivalent to watching the people of the Cao Gang get drunk with the people sent by Xiao Hang, obviously having something to say to him.
Luo Xiu smiled: "It's a pleasure to talk to smart people, are you interested in cooperating with me?" β
"Why did you choose me?" Zhu Junliu's head hurts a little, but his brain hasn't broken yet.
He knew that Luo Xiu and Xiao Hang were at odds, but he wasn't even Xiao Hang's henchman, so what could he use.
"I've read the articles you wrote, and one of them is a study on the shipping of the former DPRK."
Luo Xiu's words made Zhu Junliu surprised for a moment, he didn't expect him to find his previous article to read. For a long time, Zhu Junliu's appreciation of Luo Xiu only stayed at the fact that he was a famous general. Although he didn't have the idea that ordinary scholars looked down on military generals, he also felt that those of them who wielded knives and guns were not interested in selling pen and ink.
In fact, Luo Xiu didn't read his article at all because he had a hindsight, and he thought that he would use it in the future. He was just investigating possible competitors, and by the way, he read Zhu Junliu's article.
Although he doesn't have the ability to always remember, Luo Xiu's memory is also very good, but his mind has never been on learning.
The last time Shu Mei mentioned to him about the opening of shipping, Luo Xiu thought of Zhu Junliu's article, and later read it again and recommended it to Xiao Rong.
Although Zhu Junliu's views still have some innocence inherent in the literati, he has thoroughly studied the shipping regulations of the previous dynasty, and added his own views, which makes the regulations seem to be much more perfect.
There is such an article, in fact, if it is trimmed, it can be used as a trial as a rule.
But in this matter, Chen Wenyuan thought that Xiao Rong could not be allowed to start, he had been an idle person for so many years, and it was strange that he could not take out such a thing coldly, with the temperament of Emperor Xuan, and not doubt.
The best way is to let Xiao Hang go and say, let him go, even if Emperor Huaixuan is wary, it is also aimed at Xiao Hang.
So, after knowing that Zhu Junliu was on the road with him this time, Chen Wenyuan came to see Luo Xiu and told him to bring Zhu Junliu over.
What should be done Luo Xiu didn't care about anything, so he took this opportunity to make it clear to Zhu Junliu. He could see that Zhu Junliu was helpless to be subject to Xiao Hang, and when dealing with such a smart and decent person, the temptation to beat around the bush seemed stupid and didn't respect him very much, so he simply said it directly.
Zhu Junliu did see that Luo Xiu's attitude towards him this time was that he was an intimacy, but as for the purpose, he didn't expect it to be because of this. It can be seen from the conversation that Luo Xiu had indeed read that article and resonated with him very much, and immediately Zhu Junliu was interested.
If you want to say that Zhu Junliu is good anywhere, it is that when he sees his confidant, he can't hold back the conversation, and besides, he drinks too much, so he talks more.
Luo Xiu actually wanted to talk to Zhu Junliu about future cooperation, how to let him persuade Xiao Hang, and let Xiao Hang propose the matter of opening up shipping.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Junliu's conversation box was opened, and he couldn't close it, so he pulled Luo Xiu to discuss the matter of coastal trade all night. In the end, Luo Xiu, who was usually energetic and didn't know what it was to be tired, fell asleep, and his voice still didn't stop. Luo Xiu didn't know when Zhu Junliu fell asleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Luo Xiu found the two lying on the same bed, Zhu Junliu hadn't woken up yet, but their shirts were still on the ground, apparently they had drunk too much last night and took them off.
Originally, this was a normal thing, but in the eyes of Duan Li, who came to visit Zhu Junliu early in the morning, it turned sour.
Duan Li lost her mother since she was a child, and the Duan gang leader did not continue the strings, she has followed her father since she was a child, and she is also well-informed. Not to mention the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, she even entered the Nanfeng Pavilion. β
So in her eyes, the appearance of these two people lying together is very unsimple. And she thinks that the two are outstanding, and they are very harmonious together.
Duan Li covered his mouth in surprise, looked at Luo Xiu and then at Zhu Junliu, only said sorry, and then went out, and closed the door again.
Luo Xiu is so smart, although he is not good at this, but he has not been to the South Wind Pavilion for a long time, and Yi Fu has been stationed there for a long time. How could he not see that Duan Li had misunderstood, but it seemed that there was no chance to explain.
Then Zhu Junliu also woke up, still a little confused, rubbed his eyes and asked Luo Xiu, "Did Miss Duan come just now?" β
Luo Xiu looked at Zhu Junliu and suddenly laughed: "She seems to have misunderstood." β
Zhu Junliu also looked at Luo Xiu, and didn't think there was anything strange about them like this, and wondered: "I'm with you, what can she misunderstand." β
Faced with such a simple Zhu Junliu, Luo Xiu couldn't bear to explain to him, so he simply gave up, he resolutely refused to admit that he wanted to see what Zhu Junliu's reaction would be after he knew.
However, because of this misunderstanding, in the next few days, in the process of preparing to get on the ship, Duan Li never approached Zhu Junliu again. always maintained a polite distance, and never looked at Zhu Junliu with eyes full of admiration, but her gaze at him now was even more indescribable, so that Zhu Junliu noticed.
Zhu Junliu couldn't figure it out, so he asked Luo Xiu: "What's the matter with Miss Duan?" β
Luo Xiu teased him: "Why are you not happy when people like you, and now you can't stand it if you don't chase you?" β
Although he knew that he had always been inserious, Zhu Junliu still said seriously: "I'm relieved, but she looks at me more strangely now." β
That gaze, that heat, is really more terrifying than when you love yourself.
"If you're curious, just ask." Luo Xiu wasn't going to answer his questions, so he turned around and left.
Zhu Junliu didn't want to ask so rashly, after all, now that Duan Li can recognize the reality, it is enough.
Zhu Junliu, who has a big heart, didn't notice the change in Duan Li's attitude towards him and Luo Xiu, he left him a copy if he had good things before, but now it is a double copy, as long as Zhu Junliu has it, Luo Xiu must have it. And if there was anything, Duan Li would also give the two of them a share.
Zhu Junliu didn't feel anything until he got on the boat, when arranging the room, he realized that something was wrong.
This time they walked on the sea, the boat was very large, there were not many people, and the route was not too long, and there were rooms, but why were they and Luo Xiu arranged in the same room.
Luo Xiu looked at Zhu Junliu but smiled silently, about to hold back his internal injuries, he only said that he didn't know, he didn't mind having sex with Zhu Junliu.
So Zhu Junliu found Duan Li and asked to arrange a separate room for him.
Listening to Zhu Junliu's appeal, Duan Li blinked and asked, "Did you quarrel?" β
Zhu Junliu was confused: "No." "What's there about the two of them arguing?
"Then why do you want to sleep in separate rooms?" Duan Li didn't understand either.
Zhu Junliu felt that the answer was about to come out.
Although he was a little sluggish in this regard, he was not stupid, and he described his state at the time.
But seeing that he didn't speak, Duan Li thought that he had guessed right, and the two had a quarrel, so he persuaded him bitterly.
"What can't be discussed, it's definitely not easy for you to be together, don't care too much about other people's opinions."
Zhu Junliu felt that the corners of his forehead were jumping, helpless and crazy, "I think you misunderstood, we are not ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Duan Li waved his hand to interrupt him: "You don't have to say it, I understand, I was not good at the beginning, but now I feel that you are really compatible together." β
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Zhu Junliu to reply, and walked away in a hurry, her back was very lively, but Zhu Junliu wanted to beat someone for the first time.
Zhu Junliu, who returned to the room without solving the problem, was in a very bad mood, he thought that he had cultivated calmly and calmly enough, but he was really naΓ―ve.
Luo Xiu knew that he didn't succeed when he came back, and he suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't lift his waist, and his laughter was about to break the roof.
Zhu Junliu tried his best to maintain his demeanor and said, "You already knew." β
"You don't believe me." Luo Xiu laughed breathlessly, he must tell Shu Mei about this when he goes back.
Zhu Junliu looked at Luo Xiu and suddenly said, "You don't still want to talk about it, do you?" β
"How so." Luo Xiu denied it, and then consciously went out to change rooms to rest.
Seeing him leave, Zhu Junliu sighed and couldn't help laughing.
After getting along for a while, Zhu Junliu also discovered that Luo Xiu is a very interesting person, no matter what he does, he can maintain an optimistic heart, as if all this is just a game.
Even if he is such a boring person, he will be infected when he is with Luo Xiu, so Shu Mei should be very happy when he is with him.
Now he still thinks of Shu Mei, but his mood is very different from the beginning, she has turned a new page, and there is no need for him to stay where he is.
He remembered that Wen Xin had said to him, you can not laugh when you don't want to laugh, no one will force you.
After living for so many years in two lifetimes, Zhu Junliu felt for the first time that he could also live for himself and live an easier life.
Of course, he wants to live an easy life, and there are still many problems to face. Thinking of Luo Xiu's proposal that day, Zhu Junliu didn't think about how to reply that night, so he pulled Luo Xiu with the strength of wine and covered up the problem.
Luo Xiu didn't ask again, but apparently he was still waiting for an answer.
Do you want to work with him?
Zhu Junliu felt that things were not so simple, and with his understanding of Luo Xiu, he should not have such great ambitions. But who is the man standing behind him?
Since you want to cooperate, you have to show sincerity, and I wish Junliu to make up his mind and not move when he doesn't know who the other party is.
