Chapter 103 The Girl's Mind (3)

Li Wuhua lowered her head, held the corner of her light green clothes, and whispered: "Mr. Zhu, have you ever been to Shandong?"

Zhu Qingsheng said without hesitation: "Yes, we were in Shandong last month and stayed at Weishan Lake for several days."

"Have Mr. Zhu been to Penglai?" Speaking of this, Li Wuhua's voice became even smaller.

Zhu Qingsheng said: "I have never been to Penglai, but I have heard that the place is very famous. Didn't it be said that the 'Three Immortal Mountains of Penglai'? It's said that there are immortals."

Zhu Qingsheng's subordinates didn't stop, and seemed to have found a trick while talking, and then he clamped two wooden strips together.

Li Wuhua smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but there are no immortals there. At least I have lived there for more than ten years and haven't seen them."

Zhu Qingsheng said strangely: "Is Miss Li from Penglai, Shandong?"

Li Wuhua nodded: "Well, my grandfather, my father is from Penglai, but my mother is from Jiangsu, she, she..." When she said this, her tone was a little choked and she couldn't continue.

When Zhu Qingsheng saw that she was sad, he quickly changed the topic and said, "Miss Li, I don't know how to talk. Let's do this. I have heard a few stories before, so I'll tell you."

"Okay, no one has told me a story for a long time. Tell me quickly." When Li Wuhua heard this, she became interested and put the words just aside.

Zhu Qingsheng pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and slowly said, "Just say that in the past, there was a girl washing silk by the river who was beautiful and fell in love with the king at that time because of her beauty. However, he did not take it for himself, but sent someone to invite her and send her to the palace to study etiquette."

"At that time, I was a very famous minister. During this period, the minister said a lot to her and invited the girl from her hometown. When I was halfway through the rest, passers-by on the way heard that she was beautiful, so they ran to the station where she rested to see her beauty. However, the girl was kept in silence and protected for several levels, and those people could not see her."

Speaking of this, Li Wuhua seemed to empathize with her, sighed and said, "Yes, it is a good thing that girl is protected by someone, but she can't be as free as before."

When Zhu Qingsheng saw this, he talked about Li Wuhua's sadness and quickly said, "This incident was discovered by the minister. He did not feel bored or angry. Instead, he came up with a strange idea. He asked the girl to sit quietly in front of the window on the second floor, and asked the accompanying messenger to speak out. Those who wanted to meet this girl could meet her with a penny."

Li Wuhua asked in confusion, "Why is this? Isn't that girl angry?"

Zhu Qingsheng said, "Maybe she was angry, but she was chosen by the king, so she might have to listen to the minister's words. When those people heard the news, they came half-believingly. Unexpectedly, the girl was really sitting in front of the window, with a beautiful face and unparalleled in the world. Those people were stunned by the bottom. Some people felt that they were not satisfied, so they spent money to read it again. After reading it, they still felt that they were not satisfied, so they spent money to read it again..."

"As a result, more and more people spend money, more and more people want to read it again. As a result, in one day, the minister harvested thousands of taels of gold."

Li Wuhua said: "What does that minister want so much money to do? Do you spend it yourself?"

While Zhu Qingsheng was telling a story, he did not put down the Luban lock on the table. After a paragraph, he put a pair of wooden blocks together. He slowly said: "The girl was about the same as you thought at first, but in the afternoon, the minister held a wooden box in both hands and gave it to her respectfully. The girl curiously opened the wooden box, which turned out to be a jade pendant."

"The jade pendant depicts a scene. A woman sitting by the window, shy and nervous. There were many people standing below, all staring at the woman blankly. This scene was simply lifelike."

Li Wuhua said: "Is this the thing that the girl sat by the window and asked someone to spend money to meet?"

"Yes, the girl recognized it all at once. It was what happened in the afternoon. The girl was surprised and happy. I wonder what the minister gave her this jade pendant. The minister bowed deeply to her and said sincerely that there was not much money in the treasury of this country. He had been worried about this matter. When he happened to encounter this incident today, he used the girl's appearance to exchange for some money to fill the treasury. He did not inform him in advance. He had just carved a jade pendant, hoping that the girl would forgive him."

When Zhu Qingsheng said this, he naturally wanted to say the next paragraph. According to what the storyteller said, that day, the girl fell in love with the minister and could no longer extricate herself. But seeing that Li Wuhua was still young, she could no longer say these words.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Li Wuhua felt curious and said, "What's going on next?"

Zhu Qingsheng felt very embarrassed and had to say vaguely: "The girl forgave the minister and no longer cared about him. Later, she followed him to the palace."

"That's it," Li Wuhua said a little discouraged, "I thought there would be some other story later, but I didn't expect it to be over. How did that girl do later?"

Zhu Qingsheng sighed and said, "That girl was sent to the hands of another king. Later, the king was defeated and captured, and the girl was unknown."

After hearing this, Li Wuhua was silent for a long time. Zhu Qingsheng did not dare to disturb her, so he had to piece together the wooden blocks of Luban locks in his hand. He found that since he had pieced together the first pair, he seemed to know the tricks. The faster he put them together, he had already made half of them.

There was only the sound of wooden blocks left in the room. Li Wuhua was silent. I didn't know what to think about anymore. Zhu Qingsheng felt quite embarrassed and had to speak and splice the Luban lock.

After a long time, Li Wuhua suddenly choked up and said, "Young Master Zhu, do you think I can't control freedom by myself like that girl?"

Zhu Qingsheng looked up at her, but she saw her eyes faintly and tears were almost flowing down. Zhu Qingsheng was shocked and didn't know what happened to her. He comforted him: "It's different. That girl was forced to be summoned by the king. You are so fine, doesn't your father still love you very much?"

Li Wuhua's tears finally flowed down, crossed her cheeks, fell on the table and collapsed into countless pieces, and said in a trembling voice: "Same, although my father loves me, he never cared about me. He only knew that it would be enough to follow my heart, but he had never heard what I said. Whenever I had something to say, he would leave in a hurry. I just wanted to say what I had in my heart to him once, but he had never heard of it. He was afraid that I would be hurt, so he sent many people around me. When others saw this, they dared not lean over. I had a lot of words, but no one listened. What's the difference between it and the girl who was forcibly summoned by the king."

After saying that, Li Wuhua could no longer bear it, tears flowed out, and she covered her mouth and ran out of the door.

Zhu Qingsheng stood there in a daze, not expecting that he would tell a story that touched Li Wuhua's sad things. He felt apologized and uneasy, but he didn't know what to say. Is love and care different?

In the darkness three feet outside the door, Rong Bo looked at Li Wuhua who was running back to him, his face looked sad and sighed.
