Didn't Love You Enough

Chapter 36 Tour 2

Lin Jiabao went to the magistrate's mansion as a guest at the magistrate's wife's kind invitation.The prefect's mansion is not big, and the layout is very simple and grand.The cherry blossoms in May are already in full bloom, decorating the backyard and looking very beautiful.

After lunch, Madam Zhifu invited the best theater troupe in Los Angeles to sing.The magistrate's wife specially asked Lin Jiabao to choose the plays. Lin Jiabao looked at the play signs, and found that he hadn't seen them, so he picked one at random.Lin Jiabao ate tea and watched the play, thinking it was very interesting.Seeing that Lin Jiabao was watching seriously, the magistrate's wife said happily, "Mr. Lin also likes to watch operas?" The magistrate's wife is already in her thirties, and she loves to go to theaters most of the weekdays. She didn't expect that Lin Jiabao also liked operas at a young age.

"The empress likes to watch it very much, and I often watch it with her. But the repertoire in the palace is different from the repertoire here." Most of the repertoires in the palace are specially arranged by the royal family, and many taboo places are strictly controlled. They are all auspicious and lively dramas.

The prefect's wife heard that Lin Jiabao often accompanied the empress to the theater, and thought that Lin Fangjun was really favored.

A play called Yuanyangkou is being performed on the stage.This play tells the story of a scholar named Liang Xian and a daughter of Lin Yuan'er who fall in love at first sight after a spring rain, and they fall in love because of a mandarin duck.After that, the two eloped regardless of their family's opposition, and they got married and lived in a place where no one knew.Although life is difficult, both of them enjoy it.Lin Yuan'er relies on an outstanding female celebrity to help Liang Xian study.Liang Xian lived up to Lin Yuan'er's hope and was admitted to the top prize.However, the good times didn't last long, and Liang Xian was favored by the princess and made her son-in-law.Liang Xian had no choice but to abandon Lin Yuan'er for fame and fortune, but Lin Yuan'er could not wait for Liang Xian to come back for a long time, and finally heard the news that Liang Xian had become a son-in-law.Desperate, holding the mandarin duck buckle and throwing himself into the Luohe River.

Lin Yuan'er's Huadan on the stage has a beautiful face and excellent singing and writing. The infatuated, sad and desperate singing is so moving that Lin Jiabao couldn't help but shed tears when she saw it.

After the play, Lin Jiabao specially called Hua Dan who played Lin Yuan'er to come forward, and after a closer look at that Hua Dan was also a double, he immediately felt a little kind. "You sing really well!" Lin Jiabao gestured to Shu Qin who was behind him, and Shu Qin stepped forward to reward that Hua Dan.

"Thank you nobleman for the reward!" Hua Dan took the heavy reward, was very grateful in her heart, knelt down and kowtowed and retreated.

Hua Dan returned to the troupe, and several twins who had a good relationship with him stepped forward to surround him. "I heard that the one watching the show today is His Royal Highness's favorite side gentleman, isn't he beautiful? Alas, it's worth it for Shuang'er to be as good as him! Tell us quickly... By the way, there is something for you reward?"

Another Shuang'er said: "Yes, except for poor peasants who can't marry a wife, how can anyone marry Shuang'er as a wife!" Shuang'er's status in the Xuanyuan Empire has always been very low. "I heard that Mr. Fang was born as a palace servant. I hope that he will always be loved by His Royal Highness in the future. Then our Shuang'er's status will be improved a little bit."

"That gentleman's temperament is beyond dust, and he is extremely beautiful. His temper is also very gentle, and he has no pretensions of a nobleman at all. May God bless him. Look..." Hua Dan opened the bag of rewards, and the silver fruits in it sparkled. their eyes.

"Wow!" Counting more than 30 taels of silver, everyone was very happy.

When Xuanyuan Hancheng came to pick up Guaibao, he found that Guaibao's eyes were red.His face turned cold for a moment, and he asked, "What's wrong, Guaibao. Have you ever cried?" Could it be that Guaibao was bullied and wronged.

"Well, I watched a very touching play this afternoon. Yuan'er is very pitiful..." Lin Jiabao explained the content of the play to Xuanyuan Hancheng, talking about Liang Xian's betrayal and Lin Yuan'er's infatuation.

"Silly treasure, don't watch these tragedies again next time, don't cry anymore." Xuanyuan Hancheng ordered Lin Jiabao's little hand.Xuanyuan Hancheng himself was reluctant to let Guaibao cry for him, how could he be willing to let Guaibao cry for other insignificant people and things.Guaibao's tears are more precious than pearls in Xuanyuan Hancheng's heart.

"No." Lin Jiabao nodded obediently.

Madam Zhifu stood aside, not daring to interrupt at all, His Royal Highness is really domineering!

Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Madam Zhifu, "Thanks to Madam Zhong for entertaining you today..."

"Where is it, Lin Fangjun can come to the house as a guest, which has already made our house full of glory." The prefect's wife said quickly.

After leaving the magistrate's mansion, Xuanyuan Hancheng took Lin Jiabao to have dinner at the best restaurant in Los Angeles.There was already someone waiting in the private room of the restaurant, and this person was Liu Zeqi.

"This is my former companion, Liu Zeqi, the current servant of the Ministry of War." Xuanyuan Hancheng introduced to Lin Jiabao, and then said to Liu Zeqi: "This is your future master. Seeing him in the future is the same as seeing an orphan."

Liu Zeqi listened to His Highness the Crown Prince's words, straightened his clothes, and saluted solemnly. "Greetings to Master Lin."

Lin Jiabao also replied, "Lord Liu is free."

Liu Zeqi finally met the person on the crown prince's heart.Lin Jiabao was very different from what he had imagined, but it was undeniable that it was much better than what he had imagined.

During the dinner, Liu Zeqi had been in Los Angeles for a long time, and Lin Jiabao was very interested in hearing about the scenery and delicious food of Los Angeles.Seeing Guaibao and Liu Zeqi chatting enthusiastically, Xuanyuan Hancheng's face gradually darkened.

"Hurry up, baby, I'll take you to the night market after eating." Xuanyuan Hancheng personally picked up food for Jiabao.

"Mm. Delicious..." Lin Jiabao ate the delicious food, his big eyes narrowed, he was really cute.

Xuanyuan Hancheng gently wiped the sauce from Guaibao's mouth.

Liu Zeqi saw a completely different His Royal Highness today, and for a moment he wondered if His Royal Highness was someone else pretending to be.When had His Highness the Crown Prince treated someone so tenderly and carefully, that loving look in his eyes made him feel numb.Liu Zeqi looked at Lin Jiabao with some scrutiny in his eyes, hoping that this Lin Fangjun could be worthy of His Royal Highness's favor.

After dinner, Xuanyuan Hancheng dismissed Liu Zeqi, and then took Guaibao to the famous night market in Los Angeles.The guards behind Xuanyuan Hancheng all wore casual clothes and hid in the crowd, leaving only Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing to follow.

Xuanyuan Hancheng took Jiabao's little hand and walked slowly in the night market.The night market is very lively and there are many people.Lin Jiabao held Xuanyuan Hancheng's hand tightly, even if he was picking out gadgets, he would not let go of the other hand.

After strolling through the whole night market, Lin Jiabao still couldn't get enough of it, and Yuan Qing, who was behind him, was already carrying big bags and small bags.However, Lin Jiabao was still a little tired. Walking on the road, he saw a wonton stand. "Let's go eat a bowl of wontons and rest our feet."

Xuanyuan Hancheng naturally agreed with Guaibao's decision, it just so happened that there were no other customers at the stall, and it was fairly clean.Xuanyuan Hancheng sat at a table with Lin Jiabao.Everyone else sat down at the tables around them.

The owner of this wonton stall is a middle-aged couple. The middle-aged twins are responsible for making wontons and cooking wontons, and the middle-aged man is responsible for running errands, entertaining guests, and cleaning up the dishes.

When the husband saw that his stall was full, the middle-aged man hurried forward and greeted him warmly, "Do you guys eat wontons? They are all made fresh today. There are small wontons and big wontons. Big wontons are stuffed with cabbage and pork."

After visiting the night market and walking so much, the dinner has already been digested, Lin Jiabao thought for a while and said, "Give us each a big bowl of wontons." He asked Xuanyuan Hancheng for his consent Of course, Xuanyuan Hancheng has no objection.

When the middle-aged man got the order, he immediately told his lover to cook wontons, and the man was also helping, passing a bowl of wontons to his lover.The two cooperated tacitly, and the wontons were cooked in a short while.Lin Jiabao was the first to taste it. The soup tasted very fresh. It should be boiled out of big bones. The wontons were big and the seasoning was just right. Lin Jiabao ate up the whole bowl of big wontons one by one.

Xuanyuan Hancheng stared at Lin Jiabao eating wontons without blinking his eyes.

Lin Jiabao was embarrassed by him, "Wontons are delicious, but they won't taste good when they get cold."

Xuanyuan Hancheng lowered his head and ate the wontons. He is now very satisfied with Guaibao's appetite. Guaibao has finally grown some meat and feels better.

Lin Jiabao and his group ate wontons and gave the middle-aged couple a silver ingot, which was very grateful to the couple.

Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao left holding hands, on the way Lin Jiabao asked Xuanyuan Hancheng: "Will we be like them in the future?"

"In this life, we will stay together until we grow old." Xuanyuan Hancheng vowed that no matter what difficulties there are in this life, he will never let go.Lin Jiabao's hand was tightly held by Xuanyuan Hancheng, and he just walked like this, he really hoped that he could walk forever like this...

Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao stayed in Los Angeles for a few days, and after seeing the beautiful scenery of Los Angeles with Jiabao, they boarded a big boat and set off to Huzhou first, and then to Jiangzhou for inspection.

This big boat was specially built for His Royal Highness to inspect the Luohe Canal. The hull was very huge, with two stories high on the top and one floor below, and could accommodate thousands of people.The huge boat rides the wind on the Luo River very smoothly.

Lin Jiabao was building a boat for the first time, and it was such a huge boat. It felt different from the feeling on land. Walking on the plywood was a little swaying. Looking at the rolling river, Lin Jiabao felt that everything was very fresh.

After two days of sailing, the ship docked in Huzhou.There are already many officials waiting for the same.

They stayed in Huzhou for two days. Xuanyuan Hancheng inspected the unfinished river embankment in Huzhou, checked the speed of progress, and made some arrangements with Huzhou officials.

After that, they boarded a ship and set off for Jiangzhou. After another three days, they finally arrived in Jiangzhou.In Jiangzhou, I met Dai Heng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Xuanyuan Hancheng saw the completed embankment in Jiangzhou, and greatly appreciated Dai Heng. "With this embankment, the Luohe River will never be afraid of the peach blossom flood."

Dai Heng was also very excited to be praised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "Thank you for your appreciation, His Royal Highness. Without your support, I would not be able to do this. Next, my subordinates will continue to work hard and supervise the completion of the embankment project of other river sections as soon as possible."

"Lord Dai has worked so hard, I will reward you in front of the emperor when I go back." Xuanyuan Hancheng said.

A few days later, Xuanyuan Hancheng finished his official duties and began to take Lin Jiabao to enjoy the scenery of Jiangzhou.The canals in Jiangzhou have been connected to the Luohe River, with branches extending in all directions.The port is very prosperous, and the shops on the shore are still very lively at night.

There are also several painted boats on the shore, and the melodious sound of piano is heard from above.Lin Jiabao praised it. "These boats are so beautiful, and the piano is so beautiful!"

Seeing that Guaibao likes it, Xuanyuan Han told Yuan Fu beside him, "Go and charter a painting boat." Yuan Qing talked on the side, "It's a flower boat."

Lin Jiabao asked curiously: "Flower boat? Is there a flower show on board?"

Xuanyuan Hancheng was amused by Guaibao's expression, "Guaibao will know after seeing it."
