I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Li Ran entered the gate and found that Li Guang was holding a large canvas and unfolding it for Fan Li to see.

The picture scroll is made of cloth, which is very valuable. Under normal circumstances, Li Guang would not use it when practicing painting.

Li Ran couldn't help being a little curious, and wanted to take a closer look.

Li Guang looked up and found him, but immediately put away the scroll.

"Father……"

Li Ran didn't know why, so he still smiled and said:
"Guang'er, what did you draw? Show Weifu too?"

Unexpectedly, Li Guang shook his head:
"No!"

As Li Guang said, he closed the scroll and was about to run away.

Seeing this situation, Li Ran's heart sank, and it happened that Gong Eryue also appeared in front of her.

"If you don't show it to your father, how about showing it to Er Niang?"

Unexpectedly, Li Guang was still unwilling:
"No."

Li Guang ran away, Gong Eryue and Li Ran looked at each other, but at the same time looked at Fan Li.

Could it be said that Li Guang's closeness to Fan Li surpassed the two of them?
At this moment, Fan Li cupped his hands in embarrassment and replied:

"Don't be alarmed, sir. In fact...Guang'er didn't draw anything, it was just a picture of Mr. and Miss Yue playing together, but it's probably..."

Fan Li hesitated and hesitated, but couldn't think of any words to prevaricate for a while.

Li Ran heard that, although he still didn't dispel his worries, at least he knew that this matter should have nothing to do with Fan Li.

Then he changed his mind and guessed that what Fan Li wanted to say might be because of the relationship between him and Gong Eryue.

Of course Li Ran didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so he just smiled and said:

"Hehe, it's nothing. The child is grown up, and there is nothing wrong with having some secrets of his own."

Li Ran returned to the study and sat down, but he was restless.

For a long time, others have been used to calling him Mr. and Gong Eryue as his wife. Even Li Guang still calls Gong Eryue Erniang.

Li Ran seemed to have gotten used to this for a long time, and did not correct it.

But thinking about it now, he never considered Gong Eryue's fate.If this has been the case, wouldn't that be delaying her?

Li Ran thought about it, and then walked out of the study to relax.

Passing through Li Guang's room, Li Guang was led to dance practice by the palace master again, and the picture scroll she drew is now placed on the table in front of the window.

Although Li Ran didn't want to pry into his daughter's "privacy", driven by curiosity, he still couldn't help reaching out to take it and unfolding it.

It was only then that she realized that what she had drawn was indeed a picture of marriage.And the man seems to be Li Ran, and the woman is Gong Eryue.

There is also a little girl beside her, holding a flower basket with a smile, watching this scene.

Li Ran's heart trembled, and he immediately understood.

In her heart, it can be said that Gong Eryue has replaced the vacancy left by Ji Le in her heart.

But at the same time, she also understood that there was actually an insurmountable gap between her second mother and her father.

However, perhaps in Li Guang's naive imagination, this gap may be just a title of "marrying in marriage".

Li Ran put the scroll back silently, feeling very heavy for a moment.

Li Ran has a deep affection for Jiyue, and originally thought that he would have to raise Li Guang well for the rest of his life, and his dramatic and absurd life was nothing more than that.

Unexpectedly, Gong Eryue suddenly appeared when his life was at a low point.

And if Gong Eryue is just an ordinary woman, it's not enough for Li Ran to have any thoughts.But Gong Eryue is so similar to Ji Le, and Li Guang loves her so much.

It was as if God had played a joke on him.It made Li Ran's originally melancholy and peaceful heart agitated again.

Li Ran paced with his hands clasped behind him, but happened to bump into Fan Li.

Seeing Li Ran standing in front of the window, Fan Li knew that he must have seen the scroll, sighed inwardly, and walked over:

"gentlemen……"

Li Ran came back to his senses, saw that it was Fan Li, looked back at the scroll, and walked away slowly without saying a word.

But Fan Li caught up again, and said:
"Sir, it's normal for Guang'er to have such thoughts..."

Li Ran stopped in his tracks:

"Hey... Young Uncle, there are some things... Actually, I understand it in my heart, but... I can't do it!"

Who knows, Fan Li said:
"Sir, everyone says that Confucians are pedantic. However, even Confucius felt that this matter is not against etiquette, and there is nothing wrong with it. Why do you want to be self-confident, sir? Although Miss Yue entered the Lu Kingdom as a concubine, it doesn't mean that she must become a Luhou?"

(Note: The surname of Si of Yue State, the wife who married Luhou Song was called Yue Si, which was later "Ding Si")
"Also, Luhou has met her before. Although he didn't mention his identity, he also knows that your relationship is extraordinary. Miss Yue has saved Mr. from danger many times. Could it be that Mr. is really hard-hearted?"

Li Ran made another wry smile, and shook his head:
"Young Uncle, it's not that I don't know how to be flexible. It's just that even if you can't be happy with each other in marriage, you still need a throbbing heart after all... However, since my wife left, I, Li Ran, have been heartbroken and never thought of continuing..."

"Furthermore, she and Le'er look too much alike. Even if she is marrying her, they will just use her as a substitute for Le'er. Is this...is it fair to her? What will she think in the future?"

"So, please don't persuade Shaobo any more!"

Fan Li shook his head again:
"Does the gentleman really just regard Miss Yue as a substitute for the wife? I'm afraid the gentleman himself doesn't understand this point?!"

Li Ran didn't say anything, obviously he didn't want to pester him too much, he just wanted to leave early.

At this time, Fan Li said again:
"What's more, there are many people who are ungrateful and ungrateful. It is well known that Mr. Yue values ​​love and righteousness. Miss Yue must also like Mr.. If this is not considered to be in love with each other, then how can there be a loving person in this world?"

Fan Li spoke more and more bluntly, and Li Ran couldn't listen anymore, so he just dropped another sentence:
"Uncle Shao, all of this is nothing more than your conjecture, without evidence, how can it be convincing?!"

Fan Li was also in a hurry at this moment, and couldn't help saying loudly:

"Could it be that Mr. Guang'er doesn't care about what he thinks?"

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but stop suddenly, turned around and said:
"Uncle Shao, you... have talked too much today!"

Fan Li flinched slightly, but hesitated for a moment, but still stood there unyieldingly with him:

"Guang'er lost her mother since she was a child, and she and her husband also get together less and leave more. Li watched her grow up in Zheng Guo. Guang'er is very sensible, and because of this, she is often depressed in her heart. It's just... Guang'er is strong on the surface, and she never expresses her depression easily."

"Madam's death has dealt a great blow to her, and now that Miss Yue can make up for her lack, even if the husband doesn't think about himself, can't he think more about her for Guang'er?!"

"Since she has recognized her as her mother, doesn't the husband want to make up for Guang'er's shortcomings?"

Seeing the sincerity of Fan Li's words, Li Ran couldn't help but feel soft when he thought of what he owed Guang'er:
"Uncle Shao, but she is not Madam after all!"

Fan Li said:

"The husband has deep affection for his wife, and the wife has a long-lasting affection for him. However, the man has passed away, and the past can't be remembered, but the one who came is still chased! Could it be that Miss Yue's feelings for her husband are not true?"

Li Ran was momentarily embarrassed by Fan Li's words, so he waved his hand and said:

"Uncle Shao, this is Li's private matter, so please don't say too much, Uncle Shao!"

Relying on his perfect tongue, Fan Li said to Li Ran these words that had been held in his heart for a long time at the right time.It can also be said that it is not fast.

However, after a lot of chatter, Fan Li also knew that although today's speech was full of fun, it was also somewhat out of proportion.

So, after he finished outputting a meal, he bowed and apologized:

"Today, Li was in a hurry and spoke indiscriminately. Please forgive me, sir!"
