Soul travels through the world of immortality

In the evening, Meng's father went home. Meng's mother heard the voice and rushed out of the house: "Master, you are back."

"Dad, you're back." Meng Shixiang also came out of the house to welcome him.

"Well, I'm back." Father Meng said kindly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dad. I'll pour you some tea to quench your thirst." After that, Meng Shixiang turned around and poured a glass of water for his father and handed it to him, then sat aside and waited for Meng's father's instructions.

"Master, you are tired too. Is everything going well in the shop today?" Mother Meng asked.

"Well, everything is going well, it's auspicious. How are your studies lately?" Father Meng asked lovingly.

Meng Shixiang nodded and said, "Dad, my studies are going smoothly. Master always praises us brothers for being smart and not knowing what is going on in the palace. How is it going?"

"You kid, don't make unreasonable comments about the government. No matter whether the new emperor succeeds or not, as long as you do well in your articles, it won't be a problem to take the provincial examination in the future. We ordinary people can only obey the dictates of nature. Do you understand?" Meng's father Advising.

Meng Shixiang nodded and said: "I understand, dad, the eldest brother is still studying for his studies. He is the one in our family who is most likely to pass the exam. You should pay more attention to the eldest brother's studies."

The father and son were talking. When Father Meng saw Meng Shijie coming from the study to say hello, he seemed to be at a loss for words, so he asked with concern: "Jie'er, why are you staying in the study today? At this hour of the day, shouldn't you have just finished school?"

Meng Shijie opened his eyes wide, took a sip of tea, and said, "Dad, please rest first. Master has something to do today, so I didn't go to school." After saying that, Meng Shijie went behind the screen and freshened up briefly.

When Meng Shijie walked out from behind the screen, he had a completely new look. He was wearing a crescent white gown with a sash tied around his waist. His black hair was tied up with a silver hairpin, showing a bit of chicness and hypocrisy. His peach blossom eyes were even more intense at this time. Charming and moving, Meng Shijie's facial features are very three-dimensional, and now he looks even more handsome and extraordinary. Meng's father and Meng Shixiang couldn't help but nod in praise.

Mother Meng glanced at her son and was secretly happy. Her son was becoming more and more handsome than before, and even his tone of voice was different from before.

Looking at the two sons standing in front of him, Meng's father showed a kind smile. He stretched out his right hand and took the eldest son's hand: "Let's go for a walk with dad in the courtyard. The father and son left the lobby.

Meng's father said to his son again: "Shijie, I heard about the girl from the Li family...Dad, my sister and I have made it clear what happened in the government office."

"That's good. You brothers should stay away from this family from now on. It's best not to mess with their family's great business."

"Dad, the kid has remembered it."

After dinner, Meng Shiqing had not yet returned home, so Meng's mother paced anxiously in the courtyard. When Meng's father saw his wife leaving the hall, he followed her to the courtyard.

"Master, I have something to ask and I don't know how to say it."

"Ma'am, it doesn't matter."

"Our Jie'er will reach the imperial examination in three more years. Although he has passed the examination as a scholar now, he should also reach the age of getting engaged."

"Oh? Madam, is there a girl you like?"

"It's not me who likes him, but our son." Mother Meng looked at her husband with a smile and continued.

"Master, our son has fallen in love with Li Mingshu from the Li family. Not only did they grow up together, our son is a gentle scholar. He also stood up for the little girl and even fought with Mr. Zhang. That girl, I I also like them, even though they are still young, they are very close to each other. The key is that my son likes them."

"I heard that the Zhang family is involved in a case, and Li Mingshuo can't go back to the mountain to practice martial arts for the time being. Can we take this opportunity to go to the Li family to propose marriage?"

Father Meng pondered and said, "There's no rush, let's ask Jie'er what he thinks first."

Mother Meng nodded in agreement: "It's up to you, sir, to handle this matter."

Early the next morning, as soon as Meng Shijie got up, he was called to the study by Master Meng.

Meng's father looked at Meng Shijie's smiling face and said doubtfully: "You study diligently every day. It's because you still haven't gotten the honors, so I delayed getting you engaged. I discussed it with your mother, and it's time to get you a marriage." As for the marriage, it’s best to get married after you get married.”

"Engagement?" Meng Shijie looked surprised, "Father, I haven't considered this matter yet."

"Who is the woman you want? Father can help you propose marriage."

The surprise on Meng Shijie's face gradually turned into a thoughtful expression, "Father, why do you want to get engaged?"

"My child, you are already seventeen years old after all. You have to consider your own future and the honor of your family. You can't delay it any longer."

Meng Shijie pondered, thinking of his favorite Li Mingyu, but he also understood that the interests of the family cannot be ignored, "Father, I understand, I will consider it carefully."

Father Meng nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes, "Okay, think it over yourself and tell Father your decision."

Meng Shijie nodded silently and left the study. He knew that this was an issue that required careful consideration, and he had to think about it carefully.

He didn't expect that this matter would be mentioned at home, but he had his own thoughts. The Li family's sister Sisi was indeed a good girl, but he felt that he should wait until she grew up before considering it.

Meng Shijie was secretly happy, returned to his room, sat down and thought again. He knew that his parents wanted him to find a good marriage, but for him, marriage was only one aspect of it. He had more things to do, such as getting a Jinshi, doing something big, and bringing honor to the family.

He feels that he is still young and still has a lot to do. Marriage is very important to him. He wants to marry Sisi and make her the happiest person in the world.

He believes that he can do it, he can definitely do it, because he believes that he is reliable and will definitely win. As he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that Li Mingyu wanted to go to the town during the conversation a few days ago. She was six years younger than him. If he really wanted to propose marriage, he might ask Li Mingyu for his opinion first. Thinking of this, Meng Shijie clenched his hands excitedly. Riot must get this done as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

He has always believed that there will never be another beautiful girl like Li Mingyu in this world.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Meng Shijie packed up and stood in the courtyard. When he was thinking about preparing the car, A Lin, who was passing by, looked at Meng Shijie's excited face and couldn't help but ask.

"Young Master, why did you drive out of the house today?"

Meng Shijie waved his hand and said, "Well, I'm going out of town today. Go to the kitchen to see if breakfast is ready. I'm hungry." Alin quickly agreed and ran down.

Putting on a set of light clothes and driving a carriage, Meng Shijie left the house alone and headed towards the Li family next to him.

Father Li watched Meng Shijie come in, put down the tea cup, and asked: "Nephew Meng Xian, how early are you today?

"Uncle, please don't be surprised if I take the liberty of visiting you. A few days ago, I mentioned going to the town to my sister Sisi, and she said she wanted to go play with me, so I came here today to take her to the town."

"Haha, since you have made an appointment, I won't be polite to you. I'll ask the maid to call you, so be careful on the way!

"I've made a note of it, and I will definitely let Sister Sisi return home with a lot of fun."

Afterwards, Meng Shijie waited for Li Mingyu to come out of the room.

Li Mingchao was dressed up properly. When she came out of the wing and saw Meng Shijie, she couldn't help but smile and raise her head: "Brother Meng is here so early? I thought you forgot your agreement with me?"

"How could I forget? Thinking of this promise and going to town, I came here as promised..." Before she could reply, Qing'er accidentally saw the carriage driven by Meng Shijie outside the yard, which was the same carriage he rode in last time. Her pair of tender white hands lifted the car curtain at once, showing an inviting gesture to Li Mingyang.

Qing'er showed a meaningful look in her eyes and said teasingly, "It's so exciting to go out to the town if you don't sleep in early in the morning! Miss, let's get in the car first!"

The words were naturally meant for Meng Shijie, and she could see what Brother Meng was thinking.

Mother Li, who followed out, said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, Sisi, you and Qing'er are going to ride in a carriage together. You have to be careful when you get to the town."

"Mom, I can do it, not to mention Brother Meng is here."

Meng Shijie then jumped on the carriage and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm driving, you must sit tight."

Qing'er nodded towards Meng Shijie, then looked at Li Mingyu with a smile and winked playfully. "Miss, what are you doing in town?"

"Of course I'm going out for a walk. There are a lot of things to buy in town." She smiled brightly.

In Qing'er's sight, he happened to see Li Mingshu's expression, which really looked like she was withdrawing from a spoiled child, and she sighed in her heart.

Li Mingchao's smile became even brighter. This delicate young lady looked at Meng Shijie, her eyes filled with sparks.

Qing'er raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You can also enjoy the scenery along the way!"

Ahem, Li Mingchao's eyes wandered back and forth on this dead girl, looking at the scenery, what is this, going to town!

"How about I still, ah, don't bother..."

Before Qing'er could refuse, Li Mingshu raised the car curtain, put his arm around her waist, lifted her in front of him, and sat on the car's shaft.

Meng Shijie said hurriedly: "Sister, aren't you all riding in a carriage?"

"I'd better sit alone. It's more spacious! It's rare for Qing'er to go to town, so let her see more of the scenery."

Meng Shijie turned his horse around and was ready to leave.

Qing'er shouted anxiously: "Miss!"

Meng Shijie turned his head, winked at Li Mingyu, and said something even more irritating than her.

"Just squeeze in with Sisi, stay close and stay warm!"

After saying that, the riding whip was raised high and landed on the horse's butt, and they left in the dust.

Qing'er looked at Meng Shijie speechlessly, and laughed angrily: "It's okay now, what scenery are you looking at?"

But he sighed in his heart: In the world, only a charming and naive person like Li Mingshuo can cure a little girl like Qing'er.

In the suburbs, the grass is green and the breeze is blowing.

The flowers, plants and trees are all stretching their natural bodies, the sky is like a bright mirror, the clouds are rolling and relaxing, and it is calm.

Sitting in the soft car, Li Mingyu seemed to have relieved all her burdens. With her eyes closed, her face faced the warm wind and the genial sunshine. "Come out and relax and don't think about everything in the village."

After driving for a long time, it happened to be noon. There was a small pond on the roadside, which was just right for the horses to drink some water and for people to take a rest.

Meng Shijie sat down next to Li Mingyu, bent one leg casually, pushed his hands back, looked at the sky with a smile, and watched the clouds roll and relax.

Qing'er was not as relaxed as them. She found the dry food she had brought out from the car and was about to share some with them. When she saw their casual looks, her smile froze.

"My father had some connections and wanted me to go to Beijing to prepare for the exam after the provincial exam. My mother was urging the matchmaker to get me engaged."

"Well..." Li Mingxi lazily opened his eyes and smiled: "The important thing is that you can live a stable life in the future. Who you marry will depend on your ability."

After all, Li Mingchao and Meng Shijie haven't broken through the window paper yet, they just like each other silently, and as girls, it's hard to say anything.

"Sister Sisi... now you still don't know who I want to marry?" Meng Shijie's face showed a hint of embarrassment and frustration, and he bowed solemnly to Li Mingshu, "Sister, although I don't have much fame yet, I can't make you rich and powerful. , but the family still has no worries about food and clothing. The person I want to marry is you, are you willing?"

Only by starting from Li Mingyu can Meng Shijie get a satisfactory answer.

When Li Mingyu heard Meng Shijie's words, he stopped what he was doing and stared at him, with a look of joy and surprise on his face.

"Brother Shijie, do you really think so?" Her voice was trembling, with a touch of emotion.

Meng Shijie looked into Li Mingchao's eyes and nodded firmly, "Yes, from the moment I first saw you, I knew that you were the most important person in my heart. I know that such a decision is very important to us. It may still be difficult, but I am willing to fight for you and give you a happy future."

Li Mingchao bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes, "Brother Shijie, I have liked you for a long time, but I never had the courage to say it out. I am willing to go into the future with you, no matter the ups and downs."

A bright smile broke out on Meng Shijie's face. He reached out his hand and gently stroked Li Mingyu's cheek, "Thank you, sister Mingyu, we will definitely be happy."

Qing'er looked at their interaction and laughed excitedly.

On that sunny afternoon, Meng Shijie and Li Mingyu's hearts were connected. They held each other's warm hands and knew each other's feelings.

That is to say, during a trip to the town, the Li family had already sensed something was wrong, and Meng Shijie's attitude towards Sisi became much warmer.

With these subtle changes, Mother Li couldn't help but worry a little whether her daughter was in love.

When he got home, Meng Shijie found the two elders of the Meng family. His eyes were a little serious, "I thought about it carefully. I'd better settle my marriage first. She is a girl from the Li family."

"Son, in my opinion, you should find a matchmaker as soon as possible. Once settled, you can study in peace."

"Mother, everything you said is very reasonable. My son is at your disposal."

Just two days later, in the main hall of Li Mansion, Meng's mother came to the door with a gift.
