She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Chapter 966 Banxia, ​​Marry Me!

Just as Banxia was about to take a closer look at the merchant ship, the figure in front of her suddenly turned around. Lian Chengmo, holding flowers in his hands and smiling, softly offered his blessings.

As he spoke, he walked towards Banxia and handed her the flowers in his hand.

Banxia was stunned upon hearing this, and then a flood of memories came rushing back.

She's been celebrating the original owner's birthday here, but she once mentioned to Lian Chengmo that her birthday in her previous life was the day the headmaster adopted her, which is today.

Suddenly, Banxia remembered that over the past few years, no matter where Lian Chengmo was or whether he could come to Li County, he would always send her a gift during this time. However, because Lian Chengmo always sent her things he saw in various places that he thought he would like and that suited her, she got used to receiving them and never thought much of it.

So, were all those jewelry and dresses birthday gifts?

Banxia was speechless for a moment, and subconsciously took the bouquet and hugged it to her chest.

"Happy coming-of-age ceremony, Banxia!" Lian Chengmo said with a smile.

He always remembered that the little girl had told him her birthday. In her world, eighteen was the age of coming of age.

So, when she was fourteen, although he rushed back to the capital to attend her coming-of-age ceremony and presented her with a hairpin he had carved himself, he was not disappointed because the hairpin was a gift from the Empress Dowager.

Because he knew that wasn't her real coming-of-age ceremony; today was.

"What do you mean by 'coming of age'? We don't call that a coming-of-age ceremony!" Banxia was both amused and exasperated by his statement.

Everyone knows that eighteen is the age of adulthood, yet he still clings to the ancient custom of coming-of-age ceremony.

“Yes, adults are happy,” Lian Chengmo added.

As he spoke, he magically produced a box. Banxia took it and opened it to find a beautifully carved hairpin. The words "Banxia" were engraved in an inconspicuous place on the hairpin, which she immediately noticed.

"Put it on for me?" Banxia handed the hairpin to Lianchengmo with one hand, holding a flower in the other.

Lian Chengmo couldn't help but chuckle, quickly took the hairpin and pinned it to the little girl's hair, then stepped back and praised her earnestly.

"very nice."

"How long have you been back?" Banxia couldn't help but laugh and asked him.

Just by looking at the layout around here, you can tell that this old-fashioned guy has definitely been back for more than just a day or two.

"It's been more than half a month, even landlords don't use people like this. I finally managed to get a month's leave from the Emperor," Lian Chengmo said, frowning slightly. Heaven knows how many unequal treaties he agreed to with the Emperor for this leave.

But there was no way around it; today was too important for his little girl, and he had to be there in person.

"My uncle also has no one to rely on. You should train more people for him, and things will be easier for him in the future," Banxia said helplessly.

"Let's hope so, shall we go up and take a look?" Lian Chengmo didn't dwell on it too much, but instead invited Banxia to board the ship.

Actually, he had put in a lot of effort for this ship, but his two apprentices weren't skilled enough and kept writing to him for help, complaining that the young girl was exploiting them.

That's nonsense. The little girl was clearly trying to spur them on.

"Great!" Banxia had high expectations for this ship and of course wanted to see it.

The two boarded the ship together and stood by the railing. Banxia then realized that the ship was very tall and, as she had requested, very large. At this moment, the deck was empty except for Banxia and Lianchengmo. Banxia excitedly ran around the deck with the flowers in her arms, occasionally using her Snow Leap to leap to higher places and overlook the entire merchant ship.

Looking at this huge luxury ship, which she didn't even have the right to board in her previous life, but now it was her private property, Banxia was extremely excited.

Is this the joy of buying a luxury car outright?

However, her boat is much cooler and more practical than a luxury car.

Lian Chengmo stood at the bow of the boat, watching the little girl wander around. He would share her joy when she was happy, and if there was anything she didn't understand, he would gently explain it to her.

Finally, Banxia's gaze fell on the cannons on the ship, and then she excitedly waved to Lian Chengmo and said.

"Lian Chengmo, how about we sail out to sea and fire a couple of shots?"

"Okay!" Lian Chengmo nodded without saying anything more. However, before that, he had something more important to tell the little girl.

Taking out an exquisitely carved jade ring, Lian Chengmo suddenly knelt on one knee and looked solemnly at the woman before him.

"Banxia, ​​marry me!"

The moment the words left their mouths, one felt a ringing in their ears, while the other was so nervous that their face turned red.

Sunlight shone on the two of them; the woman was charming and lovely, her every smile and gesture as lively as a mountain sprite.

The man was calm and composed, his handsome face shining like a piece of jade in the sunlight, becoming more lustrous and translucent with time, making him impossible to look away from.

"You, put it on me." Banxia covered half of her face with the bouquet and shyly stretched out her left hand to Lian Chengmo.

This guy has an amazing memory. When he confessed his feelings, he later made up some random comment that it was too casual and that he should have done something else.

For a while afterward, she wondered if this guy would give her another grand confession, but five years passed in the blink of an eye, and he didn't make a move at all.

Unexpectedly, this is where she was waiting.

But why am I secretly pleased?

In fact, ever since Lian Chengmo confessed his love, Banxia had been considering him as her future husband, just as her grandmother said, a husband is someone you spend your whole life with, so you can't make a decision lightly.

But five years later, Banxia is very satisfied with Lian Chengmo!

Hearing the woman's slightly shy voice and seeing the delicate white hand extended in front of him, Lian Chengmo was overjoyed.

In the span of more than thirty years across two lifetimes, this was the first time he felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Without getting up, Lian Chengmo remained kneeling on one knee, placed the jade ring on Banxia's finger, then took her hand, stood up, and pulled her into his arms with a slight pull!

In the main cabin, four young boys and girls excitedly watched their older brother and sister embracing on the deck. Qi Changshan suppressed his reluctance and heartache, sighed, and pushed the valve.

The ship has set sail smoothly, heading towards an unknown future!

End of full text

(Some author's musings: It has taken me almost two years to write this book. There were many times when I was on the verge of a breakdown because it was the first time I had written about young male and female protagonists, and the male protagonist was also intelligent and cunning. It was really difficult.)

Many readers say that I feel awkward writing romantic scenes between the male and female leads because I'm young. Hehe, actually it's because I'm not good at writing romantic scenes between male and female leads, and I will try my best to learn that.

However, my understanding of the relationship between Banxia and Lianchengmo is that there may be love between them, but there is more family affection and friendship. They are outliers in this world, and only they can understand each other and confide in each other without any reservations.

Their feelings for each other developed over time; it was an inseparable bond that had become an integral part of their lives, even their very being—a subtle and pervasive affection.

For Banxia, ​​a transmigrator with a humble mindset, Lian Chengmo was undoubtedly outstanding and very attractive. However, she would not fawn over him just because he was outstanding, nor would she be condescending because she had suddenly risen to a high position. From beginning to end, she treated him as an equal in her interactions, believing that if she gained him, she would be fortunate, and if she lost him, she would accept it as fate.

For Lian Chengmo, a reborn individual who holds a high position and can manipulate events at will, Banxia is a very special existence. She is like a ray of morning light illuminating his world and filling his life with vitality. She does what she thinks and does directly, without resorting to scheming or trickery. However, she does not think Lian Chengmo is insidious because of his scheming. On the contrary, she admires his planning and will even seek his help when needed. Qi Banxia is Lian Chengmo's salvation and the only future he wants to pursue in his second life.

Finally, I know my work has many flaws, but no matter how bad it is, it's still my creation. I hope that if you don't like it, you won't hurt it. If you like it, please give it a five-star rating. Thank you!

Last but not least, the main story is now complete, but there will be two bonus chapters coming up!

Last but not least, I hope you all enjoyed my story. Thank you to all the readers who have made it this far for supporting my story. I am grateful, and I wish all readers of this book a lifetime of peace, health, and happiness. (Sending love!)
