Liu Lu's heart moved, and she lowered her voice and asked, "If I want to go to southern Fujian to have a look, and I want to see your family's merchant ship, can I go with you?"

"Absolutely. Li Chengxian agreed without thinking about it.

He has traveled all over the world since he was a child, and he has always been bold and informal, and he has never thought about many places.

Liu Lu's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible?"

"Really. ”

Li Chengxian laughed. He loved to laugh. When he laughs, he looks good, and he looks like a big boy full of sunshine.

Liu Lu looked at Li Chengxian with a smile and said, "Then you can finish talking about this beautiful Ceylon country first, okay? What are the strange flowers and trees there? You can draw the scenery there and let me see it, okay?"

Delicate and soft-spoken, intoxicating.

Li Chengxian involuntarily agreed.

By the time Li Chengxian finished painting and finished speaking, it was already early afternoon.

Li Cheng glanced at his watch first, and then realized that time passed so fast. He had been in the Li family for too long, and Li Chengxian got up to say goodbye.

Liu Lu asked, "Is your wife also coming to the capital?" Would you like to bring your wife to my house as a guest?"

Li Chengxian's face stiffened for a moment, and he said, "I don't have a wife." ”

Liu Lu was stunned for a moment, didn't he just say that his son had passed away? How could he not have a wife?

Liu Lu asked, "What's wrong with your wife?"

Li Chengxian said: "I divorced her. I have been away for many years, I have never been with her, she is responsible for everything alone, and now that the child is dead, she divorces me. I'm ashamed of her. ”

They are maritime merchants, and they may die in the sea one day, so they will marry wives and have children early, leaving offspring. Because of this, Li Chengxian married a wife at the age of seventeen. He has no emotional foundation with his wife, and with less gathering and more separation, the marriage exists in name only. It was another man who was by his wife's side and sheltered her. Now his ex-wife is about to remarry that man.

Liu Lu asked softly, "...... Will you come back tomorrow?"

Li Chengxian: "......"

Liu Lu looked at him expectantly with a pair of beautiful eyes that could speak.

Li Chengxian said: "Okay, I'll come tomorrow." ”

Liu Lu smiled.

The next day, Li Chengxian really came.

Liu Lu prepared the pen and paper and looked at him expectantly.

In Li Chengxian's heart lake, a small stone was thrown, causing a ripple, and soon regained calm.

Liu Lu said: "I heard that the merchant ship built by your family is unparalleled in the world. ”

There are two things that the Li family in southern Fujian are most proud of, one is the navigation map, and the other is the shipbuilding technology. It is said that only the Li family in southern Fujian was able to build the strongest and largest merchant ship in the Huxu Kingdom.

Li Chengxian naturally took the pen and paper from Liu Lu's hand and began to draw. He loves to draw.

Li Chengxian said: "My family has a shipyard, and most of the merchant ships in Quanzhou Port are built by my family. ”

Liu Lu watched him draw from the side, and after a while, there was already a prototype of the ship on the white paper.

Liu Lu asked, "How many tons can your family build a ship that can carry a maximum load?"

Li Chengxian said: "At present, the largest ship has a deadweight of 8,000 tons. ”

Liu Lu asked, "How long, wide and high is this ship?"

Li Chengxian said: "It is about 200 meters long, 55 meters wide and 15 meters high. The ship has four layers, the anchor weighs 1,000 pounds, and there are 12 masts on the ship that can hang 18 sails. ”

Liu Lu asked again: "How fast is the boat you built?"

Li Chengxian said: "It depends on the type of ship. The fastest merchant ships can sail an average of 22 to 25 kilometers per hour and up to 35 kilometers an hour downwind. The average merchant ship sails 10 to 12 kilometers per hour and 18 kilometers an hour downwind. ”

Li Chengxian sketched a few pieces of sails on paper. Soon after, a ship with sail appeared on the drawing paper, lifelike.

Liu Lu exclaimed: "You draw so well!"

Li Chengxian laughed.

Liu Lu looked at the boat on the paper and couldn't help but think in her heart, maybe this person was the best person to take her away from the capital.

Looking at Liu Lu's expression of looking at the boat seriously, Li Chengxian couldn't help asking, "Do you want to take the boat?"

Liu Lu nodded, her eyes shining: "Well, I really want to see what the sea is like, I heard that the sea is endless, it's worth seeing, isn't it?"

Li Chengxian said with a smile: "The sea is magnificent, it is worth seeing, especially the sunrise on the sea, which is magnificent and magnificent, and every sunrise makes people can't help but be amazed." It's a pity that the capital is too far from the sea, seven or eight hundred kilometers away from the nearest sea, and it is not easy to see the sea. ”

Liu Lu approached Li Chengxian and asked quietly, "When are you going back to Minnan City?"

Li Chengxian said: "I will return to southern Fujian next month. You ......"

No matter how informal Li Chengxian is, he also knows that there is a difference between men and women, what does this girl want to do?

Li Chengxian raised his eyes and looked at the incomparably beautiful Liu Lu up close, and his heart involuntarily missed half a beat.

However, when he saw that Liu Lu's eyes were clear and pleading, he couldn't help asking, "Do you really want to go?"

Liu Lu nodded vigorously and said, "Hmm." ”

She turned her head to look around and whispered, "Don't let others know, I'll go with you quietly, please." ”

Li Chengxian was a little embarrassed, what would it mean if he took her away quietly?

Liu Lu said: "You think about it and reply to me in a few days, okay?"

Li Chengxian was invited to his sister's house. His sister Li Min is the wife of Yang Hu, the general who protects the country.

Li Min has a VIP ticket to the National Martial Arts Competition. The number of VIP tickets is extremely limited, and it is given by the emperor himself, and only high-ranking officials and dignitaries can get it. Each VIP ticket has a designated private room.

After Li Min got the VIP ticket, the first thing that came to mind was his younger brother Li Chengxian.

Li Chengxian rejected Li Min's kindness and said, "Sister, I have a ticket, and the firm gave me two tickets." ”

Li Min said: "Chengxian, are you unwilling to go with me and my brother-in-law?"

Li Chengxian said: "I am a businessman, and I can have an ordinary ticket. You and your brother-in-law are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and it is inconvenient for me to participate in it, and we Chinese businessmen Li Ji do not participate in officialdom. ”

Li Min said: "Your brother-in-law doesn't like to interact with people, you don't have to worry about this." I just want to take you for a break. You've enjoyed watching this before. ”

Li Chengxian said: "I have a ticket, I'll go by myself." ”

Li Min said: "You don't want to go with us, I don't force you, I'll keep a place for you." For the next six days of arena competition, if you want to go to the VIP stage on the second floor to watch, you can come over. ”

Li Chengxian responded: "Okay." ”

Li Min asked, "Did you go to Doctor Li's house in the past two days?"

Li Chengxian said: "Yes. Dad asked me to bring a thank you gift to Dr. Li's house. ”

Li Min asked, "Who did you see at Imperial Doctor Li's house?"

Li Chengxian said truthfully: "Mrs. Imperial Physician Li and their daughter. ”

Sure enough, I saw her.

Li Min said a little worriedly: "That girl, you stay away from her." ”

On the one hand, Li Min was entrusted to remind her younger brother not to approach Liu Lu, and on the other hand, she didn't want her brother to fall in love with Liu Lu, because Liu Lu was once the emperor's concubine.

"Eldest sister......" Li Chengxian frowned slightly, the eldest sister was too lenient.

Li Min said: "Don't go to see that girl again in the future, you marry another one as soon as possible, so as not to worry about your parents." You're better off with a wife. ”

Li Chengxian said: "Eldest sister, I don't plan to marry again, I'll talk about it in a few years." ”

Li Min said: "You are not at home all the year round, there are only two parents at home, and they are very lonely. They are getting older, and they need someone to take care of them at home. ”

Li Chengxian said: "I know, I know it in my heart, don't worry about it." ”

Li Min saw that Li Chengxian didn't listen much, and shook his head.

After Li Chengxian came out of the General's Mansion, he went directly to Imperial Doctor Li's mansion.

As soon as he walked into the gate of the mansion, he saw Liu Lu, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards and laugh. The teenager, who had been sad for months, gradually regained his smile.

The sun shone down on him, shining.

Liu Lu squinted her eyes and watched him walk into the house with sunlight.
