After dinner, Han Lizheng brought Iron Egg, San Bao, and Wang Zhong out. There were only three rooms in his house, and they definitely couldn't fit so many people. He had no choice but to bring the three of them to another house to sleep for the night. He had already made arrangements with those families. When they heard that they were the young master's people, they welcomed them with open arms.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Li Zexuan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep as he listened to the pitter-patter of the rain. Moreover, it was too early now. It was almost six o 'clock in the evening in the modern world. In his previous life, he would only sleep at eleven or twelve o' clock at night.
However, in this era, there were no cell phones or computers. There was nothing else to do other than sleep at night.
"Brother, brother, are you asleep?" Lan 'er knocked on the door.
Li Zexuan got up and opened the door. Lan 'er squeezed in agilely. Li Zexuan looked at her and said, "Lan' er, why aren't you asleep?" Lan 'er and Han Yuxi slept in one room while Xiao He and Xiao Xi slept in another room.
Lan 'er came over and held her brother's hand. "Brother, we can't sleep. Why don't you come over and tell us a story?"
Li Zexuan was puzzled. "You guys?"
Lan 'er nodded. "That's right. Sister Yuxi, Sister Xiao He, and Sister Xiao Xi can't sleep. We're all in Sister Yuxi's room waiting for you to come over and tell us a story!"
Li Zexuan was really tempted. He also wanted to go to Han Yuxi's room to take a look. To be exact, he wanted to go to Han Yuxi's room to see how charming Han Yuxi looked when she was lying on the bed. Just thinking about it made him look forward to it. Lan 'er didn't wait for her brother to agree. She pulled her brother's hand and dragged him out of the room.
Li Zexuan came to Han Yuxi's room. A faint girl's fragrance seeped into his nostrils. Li Zexuan couldn't help but greedily take in a breath. The three girls in the room quickly stood up and greeted him. "Young master."
Li Zexuan nodded at them and then began to look around Han Yuxi's boudoir. Although the furnishings in the room were not luxurious, they were placed very neatly. In addition to the dressing table, there was also a small table in the room.
Han Yuxi naturally wouldn't lie on the bed and wait for him to come over like he had just fantasized. In fact, Han Yuxi didn't want Li Zexuan to come to her room, but she couldn't stand the coaxing and pestering of Lan 'er and the two little maidservants. Moreover, she was quite curious about what story Li Zexuan wanted to tell them, so she agreed to those maidservants half-heartedly.
At this moment, the three girls and Lan 'er were sitting around a small table, waiting for Li Zexuan to tell them a story. Li Zexuan looked around. There were no more stools. His heart skipped a beat. He sat on Han Yuxi's fragrant couch without any trace of politeness.
When it was time to make a move, he had to make a move. There were no extra stools in this room. Han Yuxi had no reason to blame him for sitting on the bed. Of course, he had to take advantage of this.
When Han Yuxi saw Li Zexuan sitting on her bed, she blushed shyly. She also realized that there were no other stools in the room. She couldn't help but blame herself for being too careless.
Lan 'er didn't notice the small movements of the two. When she saw her brother sit down, she said excitedly, "Brother, quickly tell me. Lan' er was almost taken away by bad people today. Brother, quickly tell Lan 'er' Journey to the West 'to calm Lan' er down."
When Han Yuxi and the other two heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. No one had ever taken the initiative to ask others to calm them down. Li Zexuan was also very speechless. Lan 'er's lively and excited appearance didn't look like she was frightened at all. Han Yuxi was frightened on the mountain today.
Since they were here, the story still had to be told. He shook his head and said, "Lan 'er, let's not talk about' Journey to the West 'tonight. Your sister Yuxi hasn't heard of many of the previous stories. Today, let's talk about another story."
Lan 'er wasn't disappointed. Anyway, since her brother made it, it must be the best. At this moment, she shouted even more excitedly, "Okay, okay."
When Han Yuxi saw that Li Zexuan had to think about her even when telling a story, she felt very sweet in her heart.
Li Zexuan looked at Xiao He and Xiao Xi and said, "Xiao He, Xiao Xi, you have heard the first part of this story before."
When Xiao He heard this, she immediately remembered that afternoon when the young master said that no one could tell that she was a man dressed as a woman. Her face suddenly turned red. She swore that she would definitely not mention the question that afternoon again today.
Li Zexuan didn't tease her anymore. He looked at Han Yuxi and said, "The story that we are going to tell today is called 'Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai'. It was said that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a woman named Zhu Yingtai by the Zhu family's village in Shangyu County, Zhejiang Province. She was beautiful and smart. She had been learning poetry from her brother since she was young. She admired Ban Zhao and Cai Wenji's talent and learning. She only hated that her family didn't have a good teacher. She wanted to go to Hangzhou to study …"
Li Zexuan used his own words to tell them the plot that he saw from the TV series in his previous life. Although the words weren't beautiful, the story was beautiful and touching.
As Li Zexuan told the story, Han Yuxi, Xiao He, and Xiao Xi were all immersed in the story.
Zhu Yingtai disguised herself as a man to study. Liang Shanbo didn't find out that she was a woman after sleeping with her for two years. Zhu Yingtai returned to her hometown to visit her relatives and was forced to marry by the Ma family … With the story's twists and turns, the hearts of the three girls rose and fell like a boat on the sea.
Very quickly, Li Zexuan reached the climax of the story.
"Zhu Yingtai's bridal sedan was carried halfway when a gust of wind suddenly blew. The people carrying the sedan couldn't move anymore. At this time, the servant girl told Zhu Yingtai that Liang Shanbo's grave was in front of them. Zhu Yingtai didn't care about other people stopping her and walked out of the sedan. She insisted on going to Liang Shanbo's grave to mourn.
Zhu Yingtai came to Liang Shanbo's grave and cried loudly. She was in so much pain that she wanted to die. She threw herself onto the grave. In a split second, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The wind and rain raged. A big crack suddenly appeared in the grave. Zhu Yingtai shouted Liang Shanbo's name and jumped into the grave. Then, the grave automatically closed.
After a while, the rain stopped. The clouds parted and a rainbow appeared in the sky. A pair of beautiful butterflies flew up from the grave and danced around the grave. People said that this pair of butterflies was Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. "
When they heard the part where Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into butterflies, Xiao He and Xiao Xi both burst into tears. Han Yuxi's eyes were wet. She looked at Li Zexuan with a complicated expression.
She thought, although Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo's love life was bumpy, they had lived happily together for two years. Although they didn't have the same quilt, they died in the same cave in the end. Wasn't that a kind of happiness? However, her status was so different from the young master's. Could they really be together in the end?
After Li Zexuan finished telling the story, he stood up and said, "Alright, it's late. Let's go to bed early."
Lan 'er said unhappily, "Brother, the story you told today wasn't good!"
Lan 'er didn't understand love, so she naturally felt that this story wasn't as good as' Journey to the West '.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Then I'll tell Lan 'er' Journey to the West 'tomorrow. It's time to sleep now."
He turned his head and waved his hand at Han Yuxi and said with a smile, "Yuxi, rest early!"
Han Yuxi's mind was still in the story. She forced a smile and said, "Young master, you should rest early too!"
