"Governor, I didn't say goodbye to you last time, I was rude, and I hope you don't take it to heart." Peng Qingying suddenly changed the topic, and while carrying a pot to refill Li Yuan's tea, she sat on the futon beside Li Yuan with a fragrant wind.

Li Yuan waved his hand disappreciably and smiled: "Everyone will have homesickness, and I have never taken this matter to heart." ”

"Then the little woman thanked the Grand Governor." Peng Qingying then smiled and said: "Actually, my return to Xizhou can be regarded as following the orders of the Metropolitan Governor. Have you forgotten, it was you who said that the Peng clan has arrived, let me go back with the clansmen......"

Li Yuan took a sip of tea, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, some scenes of the lake appeared in his mind, as if he had indeed said these words, and then he took a deep breath and smiled, without making any answer.

Peng Qingying said again: "By the way, Sister Jing Yao is doing recently?" And Yasukuni, his injuries are much better? ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Naturally, they are all very good." Wang Jingguo's kid has rough skin and thick flesh, but he is also worthy of Jiang Sheng's teaching on weekdays, I saw that he had the ambition to join the army, so I let him enter the army under his command, this time he didn't come with me, and practiced martial arts in Langzhou. As for Sister Yao, when I go back, I will officially admit her to the school. ”

"Well, that's nice." Peng Qingying blinked, looked at Li Yuan quietly, and then said with a bright smile: "Then I will congratulate the Metropolitan Governor on his new marriage!" Sister Jing Yao is a gentle and good woman, you don't want to lose her, you have to be good to her, otherwise-"

"Or what?" Li Yuan smiled and asked, "My woman will cherish it." What's the matter, does Mrs. Peng still want to control me? Of course, it's not impossible to take care of me, and I am a woman. ”

Peng Qingying's face was already red, and her eyes were shining at Li Yuan at this time. The meaning of Li Yuan's words is already very obvious, with a strong sense of ambiguity, but in this way, wouldn't he be right in his heart. But Peng Qingying didn't believe Li Yuan's words at all, thinking that he was just joking on purpose.

"You may think I'm just talking nonsense, but I mean what I just said."

Peng Qingying smiled silently, waiting for Li Yuan's words later.

"You once stood up for your brother, and then acted for Jing Yao, in my impression before, you are tenacious, righteous and awe-inspiring, and you are a very special woman......

But when I saw you today, I changed my mind, women are women in the end, there is always a gentle side like water, they can pick wild fruits, they can make snacks, their minds are also careful, and the most important thing is that you can give up your precious identity and live so casually and naturally on this mountain, this point, how many women can't compare to you, they don't live as transparent as you. ”

Peng Qingying was praised a little shy, but she was more surprised in her heart, you must know that the man in front of her is a high-powered person, enjoying the glory of the world, how can he appreciate his casual and simple mountain life in turn, it is really unexpected, but for some reason, the girl's heartstrings seem to have been plucked a little more at this moment.

"What do you want to say, Grand Duke?" Peng Qingying asked with patience.

"There are some things I don't know whether to say or not, and I don't know if it's abrupt to say them."

Peng Qingying smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, our people here never hide what they say, why don't most of the governors follow the customs?" ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Li Yuan said softly: "Your brother told me last night that according to the customs of your Dongxi, the hostage of women among the tribes is the meaning of marriage. I really didn't know about this before...... But since your brother has opened his mouth, this matter has nothing to do with me, after all, it is related to your life's affairs, and it cannot be a child's play. ”

Peng Qingying frowned and slowly got up, looked at Li Yuan quietly for a long time, her face inexplicably showed a little loss, and said coldly: "So you came here this time, and you said those strange things again, is it actually because my brother opened his mouth?" Needless to say, my life's events have nothing to do with you. ”

Li Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Yes and no." Also, how can your life's events have nothing to do with me, your brother has said that you are now equal to my person. ”

Peng Qingying said coldly: "I'm not your person, that's my Dongxi custom, and I can't restrain you Han people." ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "I just taught me to follow the customs, and at this time, there are barbarians again, hahaha, you have a bit of a double standard...... In short, I came back to see you, not only to worry about you, but also to enlighten you. I don't want you to be unhappy. ”

Peng Qingying teased: "Double, standard, what do you mean?" Besides, what does it have to do with you whether I am unhappy or not, but I have to bother you, the high-ranking governor, to enlighten me. If it weren't for your identity, according to my usual temper, I would have asked someone to kick you out long ago. ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Of course it has something to do with me." This matter started because of me, and it is my responsibility to resolve it. ”

"Joke, how are you going to fix it?"

"Qingying." Li Yuan suddenly called his girlfriend by name, leaned closer and smiled and whispered: "It's just you and me here, why don't you admit some things?" Your brother told me everything. ”

"What did he say?" Peng Qingying was shocked and asked with a frown.

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Do you have a portrait of me in your bedroom?" ”

Peng Qingying was stunned, her face turned pale, and her expression was a little cramped.

"Qingying, listen up now, I sincerely apologize for the trouble and hurt I have caused you. I really don't know the rules of your Dongxi people, otherwise how would I propose to let you come back? I'm so sorry that you have to live alone in the mountains and endure loneliness now. Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Lonely and lonely? Hehe, where am I lonely? Live here every day, listen to the wind and watch the flowers, watch the fish and enjoy the trees, and be very happy! The last thing I'm afraid of is living in the mountains and forests, and if you leave any three-year-old child in Dongxi here, he can live because he knows how to live. Peng Qingying said disdainfully.

Li Yuan smiled: "It's one thing to live, it's another thing to live happily." ”

"Why do you always think that I am happy when I say that I live a happy life." Peng Qingying said coldly.

"How do you interpret my portrait? How do you explain Brother Ling's words, why do you eat and talk to my portrait? Li Yuan said.

Peng Qingying's face was hot, and she stammered and said, "That, that's just a souvenir!" You have a great kindness to our Peng family, and we have a good acquaintance, why not leave a souvenir......"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Qingying, I'm not here to embarrass you, but to solve this matter." I just want to ask you, according to your customs in Dongxi, is there a solution to this matter? I don't want you to be trapped in this cage, how can you be depressed and old in this mountain forest when you are so young and beautiful? ”

Peng Qingying sneered: "You always move out of our Dongxi custom to say things, are you pitying me?" ”

Li Yuan stood up, looked at Peng Qingying, and said in a low voice: "I don't pity you, I'm here to solve this matter." Whatever the solution, but if it can be remedied, I will do it. ”

Peng Qingying said coldly: "What if I tell you that there is no way to make up for this? ”

Li Yuan said softly: "But what if you go back with me?" ”

Peng Qingying was stunned and said in surprise: "Where are you going?" ”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Where else can I go?" You are already my Li Yuan's woman, where I go, you will naturally go. ”

Peng Qingying opened her small mouth in surprise, staring at Li Yuan motionlessly. There was silence all around, and the sound of flowing water came slowly from a distance, like a gentle whisper. Unknown insects and birds chirped around the hut, but these made the house seem extraordinarily quiet.

In the girl's eyes, surprise, anger, expectation, confusion, various emotions alternately change, a gust of wind blew through the curtains, Peng Qingying's skirt fluttered, a few strands of hair fluttered in front of the forehead, and a sentence that had been hidden for a long time came straight to the colorful heart.

"Do you like me, Grand Duke?"
