Chapter 713 The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk
"Ling'er, if you like it, I won't be polite to you. But, I really don't have much interest in these flowers and plants. It would be a waste to give it to me. It's better to let it stay here."
In ancient times, there were no entertainment facilities. Young ladies at home would just enjoy the flowers, the moon, read books, and embroider in their rooms.
It was really boring, but Mu Wanting didn't look like she could embroider, so she was curious about how she lived her daily life.
Thinking of this, I asked, "Sister Mu, what do you usually do at home? Can you embroider?"
"Embroidery? I don't know how." Embroidery was impossible. She had never touched that thing in her life. When she fell in love with Hong Gu, she wanted to embroider a purse for him, but it almost crippled her hand. Since then, she knew that she didn't have the talent.
"Since you don't embroider and don't like flowers and plants, what do you usually do at home? How have you survived in Wanyao Valley all these years?"
"I usually like to read books at home, especially storybooks. During my time in Wanyao Valley, due to poor conditions, I changed my reading habit. When I was bored, I followed the lady next door to learn how to grow vegetables. She also taught me how to identify simple herbs."
What was not mentioned was that during his time in Wanyao Valley, he spent most of his time cleaning Honggu's room or reading some medical books and texts he left behind.
She was naturally not used to it at first, especially when she would think of people when she saw things, but people always have to have thoughts, and gradually she adapted to this kind of life. But what she didn't expect was that it lasted for seven years. She admired her perseverance, as she had never done anything so long-lastingly.
"Sister Mu, you are really amazing. To be honest, I can only grow some flowers. I don't know anything about herbs."
"I didn't know it before, but the environment made me who I am today."
There is a pavilion in the garden where the three of them sat, sipping tea and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
The conversation lasted from daytime until sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun hung where the roof met the sky, gradually fading in brightness, becoming less blazing and resembling a red ball, its rays ablaze with radiant light, echoing the line in a poem: "The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it is only near dusk."
The kitchen was busy in full swing until everyone was served.
After dinner, it was already very late and the guests dispersed on their own.
The couple walked the person to the door.
"Ling'er, if you have nothing to do, remember to come to Prince Jing's Mansion to see me." The eldest prince's wife held Fu Ling's hand reluctantly. They came too late and did not have enough fun chatting. When she was with Fu Ling, she felt that there were endless topics to talk about.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I will definitely come to see you when I have time." Then he reminded Prince Jing, "Brother, please drive the carriage slower and more steadily. Don't let the bumps hurt you, sister-in-law."
"Okay, I will remind them to pay attention."
"Let's go, Ling'er!" After getting on the carriage, the eldest prince's concubine lifted the curtain and waved to Fu Ling.
"Be careful on the road!" Fu Ling responded.
"Ling'er, I'm going back too. Let's get together again when we have time. I had a great time today." Mu Wanting said with a smile.
"Okay, come often in the future. The door of the Lu Mansion is always open for you."
"Got it. Let's go." Even though there was a special car from the Mu family, Hong Gu was still worried, so he personally sent her back.
In the end, only Xuanyuan Gen was left.
He seemed to have noticed something, and after everyone left, he asked, "Are you guys leaving?"
Lu Beichen gave Fu Ling a look, signaling her to answer.
"Myna, we have decided to leave tomorrow, and we wanted to invite you to come get together before we leave."
Xuanyuan Gen smiled bitterly: "I had already guessed this result."
"Don't look like that. It's not like we'll never see each other again. I'll come to see you often in the future. Big Brother, I have another favor to ask of you. While we're away, please help look after the Lu Mansion."
"Okay, I'll take care of it for you."
Fu Ling took out a ring from the space and handed it to Xuanyuan Gen. He leaned close to him and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Myna, this is a special ring. It's not activated right now. When you go back, drop a drop of your blood on it and it will recognize you. There's a large storage space inside. There are things I left for you, as well as gifts from you all, including Father, Mother, Big Brother, Sixth Sister... I'll have to trouble you, Myna, to deliver them to them for me."
"Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye?"
"I already said that to my father and mother a long time ago. I just don't want to say goodbye again, lest she be reluctant to let me go. You are the same reason. I don't want to make it seem like a life-or-death separation. Just think of Lu Beichen and I as going on a sightseeing trip. We will come back when we have had enough fun."
Even though I feel reluctant, all good things must come to an end, and nothing in the world can be perfect.
She has stayed in Xuanyuan long enough, and there is still a large group of people in China waiting for her to return. She has little time to stay here. Even in the future, she can only spare a few days a year to come here at most.
Even so, Xuanyuan Gen was extremely satisfied: "It's good that you can come. No matter when you come back, Xuanyuan will always be your home. I will help you guard the Lu Mansion and welcome you back at any time."
After sending Xuanyuan Gen away, the couple returned to their room.
"Husband, what should we do about Master?"
Lu Beichen thought for a moment and said, "When Master comes back, I'll explain to him. Master is a very understanding person and will definitely not stop us. Even if he gets married, we may not be able to attend."
"You go and say goodbye to him first. If Master really cares, then we can talk about it later. It's not impossible to come once. We can find a day off and rewind the time to the wedding day. Anyway, we can come anytime. It's just inconvenient to see them, but it's not impossible to come."
Lu Beichen then remembered that the time here did not conflict with that in China. What his wife said made sense, and the guilt in his heart finally disappeared.
"Then I will report to Master later."
"Okay!" There is nothing to pack here. Most of the valuable things are in the space.
The dowry that Xuanyuan Hong prepared included two farms and several prosperous shops, which she handed over to simulated robots to help manage.
The Lu family also has several businesses, including restaurants, teahouses, jewelry stores, etc., which are more than enough to cover the living expenses of the Lu family.
Since she chose to settle down in Xuanyuan, she wanted to arrange everything here so that it could operate normally even if she was not there.
Fu Ling tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She had originally thought that since Lu Beichen was away, she could have a good rest, but she didn't expect that after half an hour, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.
There was no choice but to lean against the head of the bed and read a medical book in his hand.
This medical book was given to me by Hong Gu. I only remembered to take a look at it today.
