Chapter 163
After Li Xia and Gao Mingyue came back from the north together, they got along much more naturally, but during this time there were many people around and they were a bit unfamiliar.

At this moment, he looked at her for a while, sighed slightly, and didn't know where to start.

Simply giving up on embellishments and speaking frankly what was in his heart, Li Xia then said: "I used to have a lot of romantic relationships, but I never proposed marriage to anyone, because I don't like trivial matters of tea, rice, oil and salt, and my temperament is indeed a bit romantic."

Gao Mingyue seemed to be frightened, her eyes widened and her face was full of surprise.

She didn't understand, he was only this age, how could he...have a lot of love affairs?

Li Xia said again: "Now that you are here, you girls are different. You probably can't be as free and easy as they are. You always hide your thoughts, and if you open your mouth, you will entrust it to you for life. I am a little at a loss for this...

Let's put it this way, due to many reasons, I should not be able to do it without taking a concubine.But if you still want to marry me, I will propose marriage to your brother. "

Gao Mingyue was stunned.

When she came back to her senses, her face was full of clouds, and she turned around in a circle at a loss.

"You you...turn around."

"Okay." Li Xia then turned around.

After a while, I don't know how Gao Mingyue calmed down, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you tell me this?"

"I'm not optimistic about Mu Ru, and I can't persuade him. If you let him go, I'm a little worried."

"anything else?"

"You're too preoccupied, I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed."

"That's why I'm not holding back, and I'm not holding back my worries." Gao Mingyue's voice lowered, and said, "But, I'm going back to Dali with my second brother."

"Didn't you say that the moon follows me wherever I go?"

"That's talking about the moon in the sky, it's not... Besides, you don't like me much, otherwise, you wouldn't be so organized when you said these words."

Li Xia turned around, took out a silver necklace from her sleeve, and handed it to Gao Mingyue.

"The one I gave you should match your bracelet."

Gao Mingyue's eyes lit up, she obviously liked it very much.

But she didn't answer, and said again: "Turn around, okay?"

"it is good."

Li Xia turned his back again.

Gao Mingyue also seemed to muster up the courage to speak out what was in her heart.

"When I was in Lin'an, my second brother and I had a quarrel. It was similar to what you said today. I also thought there was no hope of restoring the country. But I didn't persuade him to vote for the Song Dynasty, but I persuaded him... to be an aide by your side first."

Gao Mingyue said in a low voice, "Actually, you have big ambitions, I know that."

"Thank you."

"I'm a little girl, and I don't have much ambition. Since the end of the country, I don't know where to go. I just followed my second brother. I was ashamed when my second brother said that I would betrothed to you. But later, I found that I actually... I just want to be here in the future." The husband and godson next to you... don't turn around, or I won't be able to tell."

Li Xia moved her body, turned her back again, and said, "Okay, I won't turn around. Tell me."

Gao Mingyue felt at ease, and shyly said: "Yue Yue wants to follow you... This is not lying to you, this is my heart. But now it is different from the past, you have become a Song official, and your foundation is not stable. If you marry me, If the situation changes, or if someone criticizes you, your hard work will be ruined.

Furthermore, the second elder brother thought that the Dali Kingdom was empty this time, and if he didn't try again, he would be a descendant of the Gao family in vain.I am also a descendant of the Gao family, and I can't back down, and my sister-in-law and nephew are still in Jianchuan City, no matter what happens or fails, I should go back.

The second elder brother said that he was going to do something big, lest I be despised by you.Although I don't think so, I also understand that maybe taking advantage of this opportunity, the old department can be gathered within a year or two, and the Gao family can stand firm again... When you marry me again, it will be different, and my identity will also be different. will drag you down.

As for me, I don’t want to get married in a downcast, and I also look forward to going out in a bridal sedan chair from the home where I grew up and marrying you.can you understand meMy father fought and died for the country. Although I am a woman, I should have some backbone. "

Li Xia said, "I understand."

"Then...don't be mad at me, okay?"

"I'm not mad at you, you should have your own ideas and things to do."

"If I do well, can you propose marriage to me again at Erhai Lake in the future? I'll make glutinous rice cakes for you, although I've never done it before, but...but...that means agreeing to marry you."

Li Xia turned around and looked at Gao Mingyue.

Gao Mingyue glanced at him and lowered her eyes.

Between the drooping eyes, she finally showed the affection she had been hiding all along.

Li Xia stepped forward and handed over the silver chain.

Gao Mingyue took it shyly, but untied the chain from her hand and put it in his hand.

She actually knew that Li Xia didn't like her very much.

He was still very calm, and only proposed marriage because he was worried about her.

But she still felt extremely happy, thinking that such an alienated and proud person like him must be very cautious in choosing his first wife, but he was able to ask her to propose marriage, no other woman could do it...

The two exchanged silver chains.

Gao Mingyue was even more ashamed, turned her back, and said, "You go out quickly, okay? I need to be quiet."

Li Xia said: "If you want to go back to Dali, I won't stop you. But be careful, come back to me at any time if you are in danger, safety is the most important thing."

"I know, get out quickly." Gao Mingyue snorted, her ears were completely red.

It's like saying "If you don't go out, my ears will burn."

……

In fact, Li Xia did not object to Gao Mingyue's return to Dali.

He didn't want to see her have no choice, and worried that she would have no choice.

And after knowing that she has her own opinions, he can also respect her ideas very much.

He didn't seem to be too troubled by these emotions, and he was still exercising under the moonlight that night, dripping with sweat.

But since then he has developed a habit of occasionally looking up at the moon...

~~
The next day, when the sky was dim, everyone in the post house got up one after another.

Zhizhou Shi Jun did remember to order someone to send Li Xia to take up the post in Qingfu County, but he was sent by an errand official.

Many things can be seen from this.

If he was sent off by senior officials like Kong Muguan and Yasiguan from the State Department, he would be able to introduce many things about Qingfu County Yamen on the way, and his colleagues would pay more attention to Li Xia after he took office.

However, the errand runner who set up the shop to deliver it probably means "don't pay attention to him, just keep him idle".

Li Xia didn't care about this, Han Chengxu and his son didn't point it out in front of others.

Liu Jinsuo couldn't tell, he patted the little official on the shoulder and laughed endlessly.

"Hahaha, little brother Lao is here to see you off. Zhizhou really appreciates our County Lieutenant Li, right? Let me tell you, he can be patient!"

When the little official heard this, his eyes were strange.This made the Han family father and son feel ashamed to be with Liu Jinsuo.

After leaving, we walked to Hejiangmen Wharf soon.

Hejiangmen is also called "Sanjiangkou". As the name suggests, the Minjiang River and Jinsha River converge here to form the Yangtze River.

Where the land and water meet, boats can be seen coming and going on the river, but few boats go westward.

Here is the parting.

"Feiyu, take care." Gao Changshou stopped and cupped his hands to Li Xia.

Li Xia said, "Take care."

"I only hope that when we meet again, we can fight against Meng side by side."

After saying a word, Gao Changshou turned to the west.

Gao Mingyue followed, but turned her head and took a deep look at Li Xia.

It was as if she wanted to burn him into her heart with just one glance.

Li Xia was also looking at her.

The east wind was blowing today, and his clothes were blown to the front, as if the wind was urging him to follow her to Dali.

……

Everyone boarded the boat, Han Qiaoer stood on the deck and looked, only to see that the merchant ship Gao Mingyue was on had set sail.

The little girl couldn't help crying miserably.

Hearing the crying, Liu Jinsuo was quite affected. He stood on the deck and kept waving his hands, shouting "Brother Gao" incessantly.

The big man finished his shouting, turned his head, and saw Li Xia standing upright, his expression still calm, so he asked Li Xia a question.

"Aren't you sad, Mr. Gao? Mr. Gao is gone. It's okay to wave your hand."

Li Xia ignored him and looked around, only to see the lonely sail on the Jinsha River drifting away.

And the small boat he was on had rowed to the other side, turned into the Fu River, and headed south to Qingfu County.

……

"Qingfu County's terrain is obviously not as good as that of Xuzhou City, but it's not on the water and land arteries, right?" Li Xia asked suddenly.

Han Chengxu and his son were taken aback for a moment, they felt that his heart was so hard, this was what he was thinking about when they parted.

When someone can't see... oh, some people just can't see...as if his father and son can't see those feelings.

"Ah Lang's words are wrong." Han Chengxu pointed to the Fujiang River under the boat, and said, "The Fujiang River flows into the Yangtze River from south to north, and it is also an important route from southwest to north."

Li Xia nodded, and said, "No matter what, Wu Liang will definitely meet me when he joins the stage..."
