The two of them talked and laughed, and walked along the shore of West Lake and entered a small building built by the lake.

Li Sangrou glanced around.

With the small building as the center, from about ten feet away, there were layers of guards standing on the lake, and the lake was empty. At the entrance of the small building, there were rows on the left and rows on the right, with hands and heads hanging down, and the shopkeepers, guys, etc., all of them were silent and obviously very scared.

Li Sangrou and Gu Xi went up to the second floor, facing the lake, and sat on the railing.

"Is it cleaned the lake, or is there no one?" Li Sangrou looked at the lake with nothing, and smiled.

"Why don't you use Jinghu? Who is there now?" Gu Xi smiled, "I'll count the days for Pan Dingshan to see how many days he can make the lake again."

"Tomorrow, let Zanzhao and the others come over and take a look. I don't know if the fish in the lake are good." Li Sangrou said with a smile.

Gu Xi laughed and said, "The scattered line doesn't count, you can't count!"

Ruyi brought a few servants and brought a few cool plates to the table.

Gu Xi signaled Li Sangrou to taste it first.

Li Sangrou tasted everything, nodded and smiled, "It's very good."

Gu Xi picked up the chopsticks, tasted them, and nodded with a smile, "It's really good."

Several servants put up a few more hot dishes, and the two of them slowly ate it. The night had already sunk, and the crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky. Around the slanting moon, the stars shining, and the lake was sparkling.

Ruyi had already brewed tea and let it go. The two of them faced the lake, sipped tea, and looked at the slanting moon and the stars in the sky, and the water waves shining on the lake.

After sipping half a cup of tea, Gu Xi smiled and said, "Last time, several Hanlin people accompanied me to visit the lake. It was also in the evening. There were light boats on the lake and the sound of silk and bamboo.

"The Hanlins said that it was too noisy, saying that at dawn, there was no one above the lake, and boating alone or climbing the tower alone could best show the beauty of West Lake.

"I think it's better to be lively."

"There are also clay lakes and Xuanwu Lake in Jiangdu City." Li Sangrou smiled.

Gu Xi looked at Li Sangrou and waited for her to talk.

"We just took the night fragrance trip. Qiushe and Xuanwu Lake were very lively. Dachang and a large group of people also went to watch the fun.

"At the lake, I just walked out not far, but was driven out by a group of guard servants, saying that it was the old lady of the general's mansion, and the wife was going to Xuanwu Lake to release animals.

“We just walked around the forest and climbed onto the trees to see.

"Sitting on the trees and looking over the lake, dozens of small boats drove out all the big and small cruise ships, all behind several islands, invisible places.

"The dark horse is so envious. I couldn't help it for a moment and shouted aloud when I listened to the book: This is what a real man should do!

"I heard it by the Wu family guards a few feet away in front of me, stabbed him down with a gun, and beat him to run away with his head in his arms." Li Sangrou said and laughed.

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Sangrou, a little unsure whether her smile was really funny or something else?

"It's not interesting. I just think of this and talk casually." Li Sangrou smiled at Gu Xi's confusing gaze.

"If you want to clean the lake, it is not appropriate to wait until we return to Jianle City and arrive at Jinmingchi, a newly harvested place here.

"Besides, Pan Dingshan's temper really wants to clean the lake, he will definitely go there one by one until he annoys us until he forgets us."

Gu Xi looked at Li Sangrou and said with a little thought.

"I shouldn't have told the joke just now." Li Sangrou paused, looked at Gu Xi, and said seriously: "It's nothing. I just talk casually. I shouldn't be so casual. In the future..."

"From the future, just be at will, if you and me can't do it." Gu Xi paused, "Who else can you go with? Who else can I go with?"

Li Sangrou smiled and didn't say anything.

Gu Xi looked at her with a look of a moment, and smiled: "Before this battle, my elder brother wrote a letter to arrange that after pacifying Hangzhou, Zhihe and Yang Zhili led their troops south to clear out all the southwest and coastal strife. Yan Chao and Qiao An led their troops north.

"I stay in Hangzhou. After everything is stable in Hangzhou, I will return the remaining soldiers and generals to their place and rest. After that, I will return to Jianle City.

"The big brother's wedding day is set in late summer and early autumn, before the autumn examination.

"What about you, what are your plans?"

Li Sangrou was stunned by Gu Ximo's sudden question. "I? Let's knock down the long dike first, and then walk south and take a look."

"I'm asking, what about you in the future? What about after walking south?" Gu Xi asked slowly.

"Build a ship, go to sea, then go south, north, west, make money, and build that road, basically this way." Li Sangrou smiled.

"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you, where are you?" Gu Xi asked again.

Li Sangrou raised her eyebrows and looked at him. What exactly did he ask?

"Can't you get married?" Gu Xi asked a little bit of anger.

Li Sangrou dragged the tail sound and said, lifted her feet and raised her to the fence.

"In the old Yunmeng Wei, there is a wife named Wei Fu, who once said that Meng Yanqing, Wei Fu and others are not worthy of having a family or being parents.

“She was right.

"I like to be free, do whatever you want, act as you want, be careless and unscrupulous.

"If I have a home, if I still do this, I will definitely implicate my family or worry about my family. I will not be able to be free and I cannot have a home.

"As for being a parent, parents have a great responsibility, they need to raise, teach, teach by example, think about it for their children, and take a lot of effort and energy into consideration in the long run. I can't do it."

Li Sangrou paused, turned her head, looked at Gu Xi and smiled, "I told the blind man his senior brother that if there was something that would allow women to enjoy the joy of men and women without getting pregnant, that would be great.

"If this is the case, it would be great that half of the joy of life can be enjoyed like diet.

"I don't know when Mr. Qiao can do it."

Gu Xi stared at Li Sangrou, choked for a while before speaking, "You!"

"I will not tie myself up for anyone, anything.

"A person like me is unprecedented. He has no father, mother, no sect, no clan, and no descendants, no descendants." Li Sangrou paused, looked at Gu Xi, spread her hands and smiled, "It shouldn't be there, it can't be there."

Gu Xi's face was slightly blue and silent for a long time. He looked up at Li Sangrou who was looking at the lake, "Mr. Qiao is doing it? How do you do this?"

"I heard that I was doing it, but I couldn't think of how to do it. I just thought it was difficult. Life is only a hundred years, and I probably can't wait, it's a pity." Li Sangrou said slowly and regretted.

"I told my elder brother." Gu Xi was silent again, and after a long time, he lowered his eyes, "If I marry you, it will be difficult. The elder brother said that it is not his or the court, and he feels that it is difficult for you."

"Your brother is so smart." Li Sangrou twitched.

Gu Xi turned his head and looked at her, and after a while, he nodded arguing.

Half a month after conquering Hangzhou, Wen Shunzhi, Yang Zhili, Wen Yanchao and Qiao An, each set off with the army after rest and recuperation.

There is no one rafting or silk or bamboo on the West Lake. However, the shops in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou have been opened as usual. Although there are fewer hawkers on the streets than before, they are still quite lively.

Gu Xi was busy checking and dispatching the remaining troops, returning to the ground to obtain food, Wencheng was busy arranging two supplies, one south and one north, and Pan Dingshan and Hangzhou officials were busy cleaning up the ruins in the city, cleaning up the medicine, and racking their brains to find ways to settle the fire damage, as well as half of the victims in the city.

Li Sangrou was very idle and walked around the streets and alleys of Hangzhou with a few black horses.

In the evening, Li Sangrou returned to her newly bought house, and Meng Yanqing handed over a brief summary of the day that Ruyi sent.

Li Sangrou sat down in the porch, pulled open the fold, and looked at it without a glance.

After watching about ten things in a row, Li Sangrou's eyes fell on Pan Dingshan to sell the ownerless shipyard among the shipyards originally requisitioned by Nanliang.

Li Sangrou narrowed her eyes slightly, and for a moment, she asked Dachang loudly, "Dachang, has the eldest sister-in-law of the Yu family come back from Jiangzhou City?"

"I'm back. The letter I received yesterday said that I heard that Hangzhou City was broken, so I quickly set off and rushed back." Dachang replied.

"When will I get to Hangzhou?" Li Sangrou continued to ask.

"Look soon tomorrow, let's slow the day after tomorrow." Dachang replied thinking about the day in the letter.

"Well, grasshopper and Zhatiao, tomorrow you two will wait outside the city gate. When you see the eldest sister-in-law of the Yu family, tell her not to go to the shipyard and come to me first." Li Sangrou ordered loudly.

President Chai of Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce and Vice President Bai Zhanggui, led more than a dozen shopkeepers to Hangzhou City in a dusty manner.

The group found a living place and immediately came out and asked around. The next day, after a careful investigation, President Chai, Manager Bai, and a dozen shopkeepers gathered in President Chai's upper room, and each frowned.

"You talk first." President Chai frowned and signaled to Manager Bai.

"We're afraid we're late!" Bai Jianguan looked bitter, "I asked today and said that someone had already taken the lead. The next day the city broke, he came to buy the loom weaving workshop."

"There are so on my side." A shopkeeper next to Manager Bai also looked bitter.

"I'll find out which one is not there?" President Chai frowned.

"It's said it's Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce." A young shopkeeper next to President Chai replied neatly.

"Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce!" Manager Bai screamed in surprise.

"I thought it was them!" President Chai slapped the table.

"Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Meng Family Store in Yangzhou City have been partners for decades. The Meng Family is one of the best large weaving workshops in Jiangnan. I heard that the cotton cloth was also taken over by the Meng Family." Manager Bai also slapped the table and realized it.

"Is this what the boss means?" asked a shopkeeper in the middle, stretched out his head.

"I don't think so." President Chai frowned for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "If the boss wants to take care of him, he must take care of the Xin'an Chamber of Commerce first. Where is the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce's turn?

"The boss talked about this cotton cloth that day in public. Speaking of which, this cotton cloth is warm and lightweight. If it really gets to rise, their Jingzhou wool materials are not worth much. The Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce will definitely be more concerned about this business than us.

"Besides, although weaving is different from wool materials, silk, and cotton cloth, they are still in the same industry. They know more about these than us. Alas!" President Chai sighed, "If we don't let go of the weaving business, we will just give it a good deal to the other person's strengths."
