A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Although Mrs. Li is nearly 70 years old, she is no less playful than young people. How could Shimi have imagined that this old woman on crutches would be so playful! He is simply an old naughty boy!

When many servants tried to persuade her to no avail, Shimi had no choice but to accompany her out of the house. They rode in a carriage along the way and saw many new things with the old lady.

The old lady squeezed through the crowds and had to go to a lively place to watch the yu playing and harp playing. Shimi nervously supported her all the way, not daring to slack off at all. Seeing passers-by walking shoulder to shoulder, he could not stop her playfulness.

After watching the performance, the old lady took Shimi to watch cockfights and juggling performances. The whole journey was joyful and lively. Although she was tired, Shimi also experienced what happiness was for the first time in the Warring States Period. In the past, he and Ying Zheng We were naturally happy to be together, but there were too many things to worry about and we never had a good time. After Ying Zheng left, we no longer had such opportunities. Shimi, who was always struggling with food and clothing issues, had not been so relaxed for a long time.

There was no generation gap between the old and the young, and they had fun together. Mrs. Li even took Shimi to pick out good materials, cut a few sets of clothes that fit her, and even gave her some jewelry. Don't treat her as an outsider, just treat her as a relative. No matter how much Shikiya refused and how he explained that he could not accept such valuable items, the old man was always very stubborn in his thinking, and the decisions he made were not something that Shikiya could change at all. Seeing the old lady's sullen face and displeasure, Shikiya also I had to bite the bullet and accept it.

The two of them had fun outside all day long, and when it was time to have dinner, they reluctantly left the lively colorful world outside. Shikiya and the old lady were sitting in the carriage. They had spent the whole day having fun. The old lady was not sleepy at all and was still in high spirits. She was already thinking about where to go for fun tomorrow!

No wonder the last maid who served her wanted to run away. Then it was probably an excuse to go back to her hometown to get married. If it is so noisy every day, most people really can't stand it.

"Miss Shimi, how was your day today? Are you happy?"

The old lady held her hand and was full of smiles.

"Of course I'm happy, old lady. I've been in Zhao country for a long time, and I've never had as much fun as I did today. It has allowed me to see a lot of new things."

"That's good, that's good...don't look at how crazy I am today. When I was young, I was more playful than I am today. Now that I am old and frail, I can't do what I used to!"

The old lady held Shimi's hand, making him feel very warm. The sunset in the distance slightly dyed half of the sky red, making this winter day feel very warm.

The old lady looked at the scenery in the distance and couldn't help but sigh

"I was too lively when I was young, so I found a husband who was rigid and not good at words. Fortunately, although my husband was not good at words and didn't show his true feelings, he treated me very well. Before we got married, I was afraid that I don’t get along with him, but I didn’t expect that although he is a little reserved and silent, he is still willing to play with me..."

She looked at Shikiya and saw that the girl in front of her was in the prime of her life. Her brows and eyes were full of infinite expectations for the future, and she also had a passionate yearning for a better life. These wrinkle-free eyes made the old lady a little confused. envious.

"Let's stay and have dinner together."

The old lady spoke.

"No, no, I've already cost you a lot today, old lady, how can you still have the shamelessness to dine together?"

Seeing that he didn't agree, the old lady pretended to be angry and said

"I am destined to be with you and have already regarded you as my relative. Why...don't you have the same feeling? Can't you treat me as your grandmother and accompany me to dine with you?"

Old Mrs. Li's eloquent tongue made Shimi unable to resist, and the other party's hospitality was hard to resist, so she had to stay in Li's house to dine.

As soon as the two arrived at Li Mansion, they saw Li Mu returning under the sunset. He was also very pleased to see that his old mother seemed particularly happy today.

"How was it today? Did you feel any trouble?"

Li Mugang wanted to ask Xia Shimi if he was not used to spending time with his mother on the first day, but Mrs. Li snatched him away.

"Miss Shimi and I had a lot of fun today. I haven't been that happy for a long time. I feel like I can live a few more years!"

The two supported each other and slowly walked into the hall, leaving Li Mu alone in the courtyard at a loss. Although he knew that Shimiya could definitely please the old lady, he did not expect that the two of them would get along so well.

After the three of them ate, the old lady also had many topics to talk with Shimi. It could be seen from her words that her mother had always wanted to ask about Shimi's family situation. Li Mu naturally understood what she meant.

When the meal was over, it was already dark, and when Shimi stood up to leave, the old lady asked Li Mu to take her back again.

"It's dark outside, how can you let a woman go back alone? What should you do if you encounter a bad person?"

"No, no need...my home is not far away, I'll be there soon, and it's...not very late."

Of course, he should refuse. Shimi understood that Li Mu had already been busy all day, so how could he bother him to send him back? After all, he was still an employee hired by him, so how could he ask his boss to send him back? This was not a mess!

But Li Mu knew his old mother's character. If she didn't agree, she would be severely scolded. Although Shimi refused, he still nodded in agreement.

The two of them didn't have many topics to talk about. After being tired from the day, Shimi didn't want to use his brain to talk anymore. He and Li Mu walked slowly along the path. Although they didn't talk, the atmosphere was not as awkward as before.

Seeing the two people's shadows stretched by the moonlight, Shimi said with a smile.

"I never knew that General Li's mother was so lively. I have never seen an old lady who can have such fun."

These words made Li Mu also laugh, he was quite helpless

"I'm afraid I took you to a lot of fun places today, right? My mother was very playful when she was young, but she didn't let my father worry about it."

"But it's not easy to still have fun at such an age. It can be seen from this that your mother is living a very happy life. General Li, you don't have to worry about your mother being lonely. If you accompany her everywhere Play, I think I can still persevere!”

The two chatted without a word, and soon they arrived home.

After saying goodbye to each other, Li Mu returned home alone, and sure enough he saw his old mother still awake, sitting alone on the couch in the hall drinking tea.

Seeing Li Mu come back from seeing someone off, she slowly spoke, and the playfulness she felt during the day also disappeared.

"Miss Shimi, you are not married yet, and you look good and have good character. I see that you usually can't talk to other girls, and you are not interested, but you can have a few words with her. What? You don't consider marrying her. ?"

The straightforwardness of what the old mother said did not surprise Li Mu. He smiled helplessly.

"I knew my mother was waiting for me today because of this. Although Shimiya is a good girl, she is too different in age from me, and... she has already fallen in love with someone."
