A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Who?"

The old lady was disappointed when Shimi found someone she liked. She had been looking forward to her having the opportunity to be her daughter-in-law. When she heard that she found someone she liked, her eyes dimmed.

Li Mu took a sip of tea and saw that his old mother was feeling uncomfortable, but he couldn't hide it from her. If he hid it, it would also bring trouble to Shimi.

"He was a hostage from Qin in the past. Now he has returned to Qin. It's time to change his name and call him Ying Zheng."

"Is that the twelve-year-old kid?!"

Mrs. Li was even more shocked and found it incredible.

"Yes, it's that little doll. You should have seen him before."

Old Mrs. Li was very disappointed. She shook her head and kept sighing.

"Even a twelve-year-old baby knows how to choose a daughter's home, why don't you understand?! In today's situation, good girls have been married off long ago. By the time you figure it out, your old mother may not even have the ashes. There aren’t any left!”

Seeing him say such words, Li Mu was horrified. He didn't know how to comfort his old mother, nor how to persuade her not to have Shimi's ideas anymore. He was old and hadn't gotten married yet, so he had always been... Mother is most worried about this unfilial thing, which is really shameful.

Seeing that Li Mu didn't speak, the old lady sighed and asked without giving up.

"Then Ying Zheng has returned to Qin, why didn't Shi Mi come with him?"

"Ying Zheng returned to Qin probably because of the prince's affairs. Shimi felt that following him would miss his important event, so he stayed in Zhao and waited. They agreed that Ying Zheng would return to Zhao to pick her up after one year."

A promise made across thousands of mountains and rivers is lighter than a goose feather. The old lady has been there, so she naturally understands that promises are insignificant. This is something that everyone can say, but there are probably only a few people in this world who can do it. Just people.

"Do you like Shimiya a little bit? Don't you like him even a little bit?"

The old mother's question today was quite straightforward, and Li Mu was caught off guard by her question.

Although Li Mu was helpless, he didn't want to lie.

"Of course not. How could I have such thoughts about Miss Shimiya?"

Being too straightforward can sometimes be a shortcoming, just like her own son Li Mu. When the old lady looked at him, she really felt like she hated iron.

such a pity!

The old lady felt uncomfortable in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh. She finally met such a well-behaved girl who was in line with her own wishes. However, her stupid son was not enlightened at all. No matter how many suggestions she gave, she could not make him do something that was against her. Matters of the heart. Since Shimi and Ying Zheng have an agreement with each other, Li Mu, who is an upright man, will certainly not have any evil thoughts!

When getting ready to go to bed, Li Mu asked the housekeeper where the old lady had been today. It had been a long time since she had seen her mother so happy.

"I went to the theater and saw a sideshow. There was a fighting dog in the market today, and the old ladies took Shikiya to see it."

"Going to the theater?"

Li Mu was a little surprised

"Yes, since the master left, the old lady has been unwilling to go to the theater alone. Today, when she saw Miss Shimi, she became interested. The two of them rushed to the theater and watched one show after another. The old lady's smile disappeared. Stopped."

This Shikiya does have some skills. His mother, who always disliked servants following around, has changed her temper today. She has never seen such a smile since her father passed away.

"General, the Shimi girl you found is really good. How can ordinary slaves make the old lady so happy? Look at this, the old lady really likes this girl."

Originally, it was just to find an excuse for Shimiya to accept his rescue calmly, but unexpectedly, his mother unexpectedly got along with her.

Seeing that Li Mu was silent, the old housekeeper thought for a moment and then said hesitantly.

"The old lady bought some clothes and jewelry for Miss Shimi today. She seems to have treated her as her daughter-in-law..."

"Uncle Li..."

Li Mu stopped the old housekeeper and told him to stop talking.

"Although mother likes Miss Shimi, you should not make noises. She is young, and if you make noises like this, the old lady will only become more interested. On the contrary, it will only cause trouble to the girl, and make me feel ashamed. "

When Shimi returned home, his left hand and right hand were filled with things bought by the old lady. When Yan Dan saw this, he immediately understood that, just as he thought, Shimi was very popular with the old lady.

"How about spending time with the old lady today? Are you tired?"

Yan Dan changed his usual gloomy look and smiled when he saw Shimi entering the house.

"I went to work on the first day and came back so late. It seems that the old lady is very satisfied with you."

Faced with Yan Dan's enthusiasm, Shimi was a little overwhelmed. He took the items in Shimi's hands and asked caringly

"You haven't eaten yet? Come... Meals have been prepared for you at home."

He is still the Yan Dan of the past, careful and gentle, and this has never changed. The anger and uncertainty in the past were probably caused by the inability to adapt to Ying Zheng's sudden departure.

Facing the gentle Yan Dan, Shimi was also willing to smile, and the conversation between the two became relaxed and warm again.

"I have already eaten at General Li's house. The old lady must keep me, and I...I can't refuse."

Yan Dan was stunned for a moment, but immediately covered up his surprised expression and said with a smile.

"I've heard that the old lady is generous and warm to others, but I didn't expect it to be so."

Then Shimi opened several more foods wrapped in lotus leaves, all of which were large fish and meat, very rich.

"I went shopping with the old lady today. She bought this for me. She said I was too thin and needed to eat more to be healthy."

Facing the table full of chicken, duck and fish, Yan Dan felt a sense of displeasure and humiliation in his heart. He couldn't help but think that in ordinary days, all he could give Shimiya was food and clothing. Such a sumptuous meal , I have never been satisfied with Shimiya.

He has low self-esteem and is angry. It can be seen that Shimi is in a good mood today, and he understands better that there is no need to be angry about these small things now. Shimi can please the old lady and stay with Li Mu to be the best lobbyist for him. There is nothing wrong with it. It's more important than this!

"Since the old lady is enthusiastic and wants you to take it, don't keep rejecting her. On the contrary, she will make the old lady unhappy."

Yan Dan smiled gently, pulled out a chicken leg and ate it.

"There is so much food, it will go bad if you don't eat it. Today I also took advantage of you, it's a real treat!"

Seeing her happiness, Shimi was naturally even happier. She smiled and temporarily exited Yandan's house, planning to take a hot bath to relax.

After seeing her leave, Yan Dan's face darkened, and he called Li Niang into the house in a cold voice.

“Go, give this food to other people and don’t keep any of it at home!”

There is not much time left for yourself. This year is about to pass, and the time to stay in Zhao country is far away. There is no way to wait for even a moment!
