Chapter 19: Knighthood (Asking for Recommendation Votes ^_^)
Ma Yinuo guarded Hu Die all night, and his eyes did not leave her face for a moment.
At dawn, when Bai Pujia pushed the door in, he saw that he was in a state of mind and his eyes were red, and he was very angry and gave him a slap in the face: "Do you know what you're doing!?"
Ma Yinuo's face was clear, and when he saw Bai Pujia's annoyed appearance, he smiled bitterly: "Fluttershy didn't wake up." ”
Bai Pujia's eyes were sour, and she almost cried in distress: "You are a ...... Sleepy or not?"
Ma Yinuo shook his head: "Not sleepy." ”
"Smack!" Bai Pujia slapped his backhand again, this time with much more strength, and it hurt a little for him.
didn't have time to cry out for pain, the fragrant wind hit, Bai Pujia hugged him tightly, and tears slipped down: "Why don't you always cherish yourself, and when do you want me to worry?"
His words made him forget the pain on his face.
"I'm worrying you again. Ma Yinuo hugged her waist, buried his face in her arms, warm nephrite, and his heart became more and more relaxed: "I'm sorry, stay with me more! ”
Bai Pujia's eyes were gentle, but she said angrily: "Will you be able to leave in the future?"
"I can't do without it in the future. Ma Yinuo closed his eyes and muttered, "If only I had a knighthood." ”
"Plop knock—"
Bai Pujia's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, delicate as fire, and hugged him tighter.
There is a saying...... I was content. ”
Tang Law: Those who are knighted can accept concubines.
Baron: one concubine, viscount: two concubines, earl: three concubines, marquis: four concubines, duke: four concubines, two concubines (that is, the so-called three wives and four concubines).
But it is difficult for commoners to get knighthoods.
Those who have no merit in the country shall not be knighted.
Even if he has merit in the country, he can only be crowned a lowly-ranking baron at the beginning. Unless you can continue to make contributions to the country in the future, you can hope to improve your title one by one.
However, in addition to the founding honors, in the 298 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been only more than 1,000 knights, and only three to four people have been knighted a year on average, which shows the rarity of knighthoods.
The last person to be knighted today is basketball superstar Yao Dazhuang. In recent years, he single-handedly brought the Datang men's basketball team, which was only ranked 26th in the world at the time, to the top four in the world, and even led the Datang men's basketball team to the men's basketball finals in the Olympic Games two years ago. Although he was ultimately defeated by the world basketball hegemon American imperialism, his great contribution to the country cannot be erased.
After more than a year of approvals and notifications, just last month, Yao Dazhuang was officially knighted, becoming the third sports superstar to be knighted in the 298 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
In team sports, the difficulty of single-handedly bringing a team from the middle of the world to become the world's top team, and even reaching the final in the Olympic Games, is equivalent to buying a lottery ticket and winning 200 million lotteries.
Even if Yao Dazhuang made such a great achievement, he was reluctantly knighted after more than a year of approval. It can be seen from this that it is very difficult for commoners to be knighted through sports.
As for the literary circle that Ma Yinuo is leaving...... I'm sorry, but since the founding of the country, no commoner in the literary circle has been knighted. Even if Datang has emerged countless artists who have influenced the world in the past 298 years, at most they have only been nominated and have no chance of being knighted.
This is actually the reason why the entertainment in this world is a little backward.
Desperate work cannot be knighted, which will naturally affect the enthusiasm of the public to devote themselves to it. Fortunately, people in the entertainment industry have a very high income and their social status is gradually improving, otherwise Ma Yinuo would not abandon opera and be admitted to Nortel to learn acting.
Even so, he never considered the question of knighthood. For a commoner, or a young man who wants to devote himself to entertainment, the possibility of knighthood is infinitely close to zero.
Why did Ma Yinuo say this to Bai Pujia? In fact, he didn't think about it through his brain, but when he was most vulnerable, he subconsciously said the words that were most beneficial to him.
Bai Pujia has given him too much care and help in the past two years, and all kinds of efforts have made him dependent on Bai Pujia. So when he was most emotionally unstable and needed to rely on the most, he said this sentence.
With that, he fell asleep.
I stayed up all night, I was too sleepy.
Stroking Ma Yinuo's hair, Bai Pujia's eyes became more and more gentle: "Sleep well! ”
……
When Ma Yinuo woke up, it was already noon, and there was the sound of a range hood in the kitchen, as well as bursts of aroma wafting out.
I picked up the phone next to my pillow and glanced at it, just after twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
got up and went to the bedside to take a look, Hu Die was still sleeping quietly, without the slightest sign of waking up.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Ma Yinuo's eyes, and he bent down and kissed Hu Die's eyes lightly: "Fluttershy, wake up quickly! If you don't wake up, your husband will be snatched away." ”
After saying this superfluous sentence, Ma Yinuo walked out with a wry smile.
Just as he turned to leave, Hu Die's left hand suddenly rose and stretched out in the direction he left......
Kitchen.
"Awake?" Bai Pujia, who was making sweet and sour pork ribs, saw Ma Yinuo standing at the door of the kitchen, and squinted and smiled: "Are you still sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy. Ma Yinuo shook his head, looked at Bai Pujia, and his eyes were a little embarrassed: "Xiaobai, what I said this morning, I didn't feel embarrassed, right?"
"What do you say?" Bai Pujia smiled back.
"It's me who talks too much. Ma Yinuo was a little annoyed: "I don't know what's wrong, I suddenly said that." Fluttershy is still lying in a hospital bed, and I'm such a bastard. ”
"Don't say that about yourself. Bai Pujia turned off the fire and said, "Let's get ready to eat!"
Although Bai Pujia was trying her best to downplay the impact of the incident in the morning, Ma Yinuo seemed to blame herself a little too much, and she wanted to speak again and again, which made Bai Pujia frown and complain: "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after eating." ”
Ma Yinuo quieted down.
……
After lunch, a pot of hot tea is brewed, and the two sit facing each other.
Bai Pujia held the teacup in both hands, felt the heat of the teacup, and said, "Have you heard a word?" ”
"Which one?" asked Ma Yinuo.
Bai Pujia squinted and smiled, "Words without brains are the truest thoughts in my heart." ”
"......" Ma Yinuo opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he was speechless.
Both of them are smart people, Ma Yinuo's intelligence is still above Bai Pujia, and his emotional intelligence has been very high since he was a child, and he handles interpersonal relationships very well.
The two are 'iron buddies', but they have known each other for seven years and have been getting along for two years, how can he not feel Bai Pujia's thoughts.
It's just that Bai Pujia never took the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper, and he had Hu Die, so the two tacitly defined the relationship at the level of 'iron buddy'.
Now Hu Die's state, coupled with Bai Pujia's uncomplaining and unrepentant efforts in the past two years. He is not hard-hearted, so how can he be indifferent.
From the moment he noticed Bai Pujia's vague thoughts, he planted a seed in his heart.
This morning, the seed sprouted at his most vulnerable.
"I'm speechless!" Bai Pujia smiled slightly, her fingertips rubbing gently against the edge of the teacup, "I'm not a shameless woman, if Fluttershy is healthy, I won't fight anything, and I will bless you from the bottom of my heart." But I couldn't agree more with what the teacher said last night. Brother Xiaoma, you are still young, and the road ahead is still very long, and it is impossible to live like this for the rest of your life. ”
"I know. Ma Yinuo did not deny it: "That's why I set a five-year deadline for myself." Five years later, I will be 30 years old, and I am the only person in my family who can pass on the incense, and I have the responsibility to pay the price for the inheritance of my family. ”
"If only you could think so. Bai Pujia sighed lightly: "Five years later, I will be thirty years old, and it will be too late if I don't have children." ”
Looking at each other, Bai Pujia smiled and said: "I think my genes are not bad, if I am with Brother Xiaoma, I will definitely be able to give birth to a very good baby." ”
The corners of Ma Yinuo's mouth twitched.
"I'm doing it for my own good, too. Bai Pujia picked up the teacup and said in a low voice: "My parents have been urging me for the past two years, after all, I am twenty-five years old, and I will become an old girl if I don't get married." ”
Datang is different from China in another world, the legal age of marriage in Datang is 20 for men and 18 for women. Men are fine, but if women are over 25 years old and do not get married, they will become old girls in the eyes of people, similar to the 30-year-old leftover women in China.
In the past, Bai Pujia was bent on taking the road of entertainment, and she was in a different place, so she escaped her parents' urging to marry again and again. But it's usually okay, in the past two or three years, every time she goes home for the New Year, she will be urged to marry by seven aunts and eight aunts in addition to her parents, and even arranged a lot of blind dates for her, which makes her annoyed.
"It's also to blame Little Pony. Bai Pujia sighed lightly.
"What's wrong with me?" Ma Yinuo was puzzled.
"What do you say?" staring at his face, Bai Pujia had a little resentment in his eyes: "I've been with you all day long, how can I still see those blind dates arranged for me at home." You are a wreath to me, and you have hurt me. ”
"......" The corners of Ma Yinuo's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to cry or laugh?
After a moment of silence, Ma Yinuo said in a low voice: "It's too difficult to be knighted, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it and let you down." ”
"It doesn't matter. Bai Pujia calmed down and smiled, "In Fluttershy's case, I'm definitely going to take care of her with you, it doesn't matter if I have that certificate or not." Our marriage over there only recognizes the wedding, not the certification. ”
And this kind of good thing? ahem!
In the face of Bai Pujia's repeated 'persecution', Ma Yinuo pondered for a moment and said, "If Fluttershy wakes up......"
"If she wakes up, I'll just quit. Bai Pujia stroked her coffee-colored hair and smiled: "I'm so beautiful, even if I'm forty years old, I'm not afraid of not finding a home." ”
Ma Yinuo sneered: "How can anyone boast about himself." ”
"Aren't you seeing it now!" Bai Pujia said with a smile.
Ma Yinuo smiled, looked at each other again, and nodded, "Whether Fluttershy can wake up or not, I'll give you an explanation." ”
Bai Pujia smiled from the bottom of her heart, and said, "Aren't you afraid that Fluttershy will wake up and settle accounts with you?"
"If Fluttershy knew what had happened in the last three years, she would have forgiven me. In order to convince himself more, and in order to give an explanation to Hu Die, who may wake up in the future, Ma Yinuo had to choose the best of both worlds.
"I decided. Ma Yinuo's eyes revealed a strong determination and belief: "I want to do my best to strive for the knighthood!"
