Chapter 88 has nothing to do with me

This time he said the words in one breath, not giving Changsheng a chance to interrupt at all, and then looked at her with some excitement and forgiveness.

Changsheng was still holding the teacup, his eyes were bright under the candlelight, but his expression had not changed much, he was only moved but not excited in his heart, and there was even a trace of annoyance.

With the protection of the Xie Mansion, there is no need to worry about the trivial matters of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there is nothing to usher in the intrigue, she likes the life here, but it does not mean that she wants to have more to do with the people of the Xie family.

Does he want a concubine to have a room, what does it have to do with her little nurturing aunt? What can she do if he can't resist himself?

And what right does he have to say he likes her? Is it just a momentary favor, or is it a lifelong promise? She is already twenty years old, and she will be twenty-one in the fall, a standard older leftover girl, she doesn't need the love of young boys and girls, what she wants is a promise of a lifetime and a couple, can he give her?

Regardless of whether he likes it or not, the disparity between the identities of the two is so great, is he qualified to marry independently? Is she qualified to marry him? In addition to being a concubine, he became a junior from the original life of a couple.

She didn't want to, so she didn't want to hear him say "like."

Changsheng suppressed the turmoil in his heart, deliberately ignored this problem, and said with a casual look: "You are indeed different, you don't even want two beautiful girls, but the old lady is an elder, and she has her own concerns about doing things when she worries about such a big family." ”

Mingjing looked at Changsheng, her face was still young and delicate under the candlelight, her soft eyes were full of intelligence, and there was a calmness after the vicissitudes of life, and she suddenly wanted to open her heart.

"Yes, she has concerns! I'm afraid that people will say that she treats concubines and concubines harshly, and whenever someone comes to the house, she must let her wear gold and silver to serve tea and pour water, and then let her sit down when she has enough, and then listen to others praise herself for being virtuous, if she is really virtuous, why do you disagree with my mother's slavery and let her be a noble concubine with a higher status? ”

The more Mingjing spoke, the more excited he became, his face flushed, and his expression was helpless and angry.

Changsheng deeply sympathizes with him, anyone who watches his biological mother be someone else's slave every day, and he can't stand it every day, he has endured it for too long, don't look at the usual laughter, his heart must be extremely uncomfortable.

But she really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the big family, she wanted to be silent, and she felt that it was a bit excessive, and she said that she regarded Mingjing as a friend, and she wanted to push him away if he had something to worry about, and if she couldn't help, she couldn't even say a word of comfort.

"I understand your feelings, my aunt is very good, even if it's not good, it's your own mother, you want to fight for her and be a son, but I also know that the big family has its own rules of the big family, not everything can be satisfied, let's find opportunities slowly in the future, I don't think my aunt will blame you."

"But I can't let go!" Mingjing was very self-reproachful, full of melancholy and unwillingness.

Changsheng suddenly remembered that when Aunt Tai talked about changing her name in the East Cross Courtyard just now, she briefly mentioned the inscrutable things in Xie Mansion.

She heard Mo'er vaguely say that after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Xie family was given the position of hereditary county uncle because of his meritorious service to the Li Tang royal family to seize the world, and the first county uncle Xie Wuya, that is, the biological father of Ming Che and Ming Jing, he has been dead for four years, but he has not yet been selected among the three sons to be the family, that is, the person who inherits the county earldom, so the title that should have been changed long ago has not been officially changed until now.

Changsheng clearly remembered hearing in the palace that after the emperor died, because the country could not be without a king for a day, the crown prince must take the throne within one day, the prince of the palace within three days, and the prince and uncle within three months. The position of the Xie family should have been taken by his son-in-law Ming and Qing dynasties, not to mention that he did not take the throne, and he is not even a son so far, why is this? Mo'er refused to tell her, was there any deep meaning in it?

She looked at Mingjing's angry and sad appearance, and said tentatively: "But what didn't make the old lady happy, so she deliberately dragged it out, wanting to use this matter to control you?" ”

Mingjing's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he looked at Changsheng who wanted to open his mouth, but hesitated, Changsheng knew that things were not so simple, she didn't want to know too much of the inside story, so she changed the topic and winked mischievously: "Hey, Mingjing, tell me, why are you so old and haven't married a wife and concubine, and you haven't even been hired, and others have a group of children at your age?" ”

Mingjing looked at Changsheng with a strange look, coughed and said, "It's just because of a past." When I was thirteen years old, a friend of my father's was celebrating my father's birthday, and my father took me with him, and the family deliberately let our five or six half-old children play together, and there was a dispute over a trivial matter, and the tallest one scolded me for being a cheap girl, and the others followed suit, and I was so angry that I rushed over and was about to beat him, but he and others pushed me into the pond, it was winter, and it almost killed me. After I was rescued, I was seriously ill, and I hated my father very much, hated him for making my mother a lowly girl, hated him for giving me the identity of a concubine, and hated him for making me insulted because of this. For more than a month, no matter who persuaded me, I refused to say a word to him. ”

Changsheng was a little moved, he didn't expect that he would look at the impermanence of laughter on weekdays, and there were times when he was so stubborn, maybe that time really hurt him.

Mingjing looked at her with blazing eyes and smiled like a child: "Later, my father asked me how to ignore him, and I said that if he doesn't force me to marry or take a concubine in the future, and I am in charge of all family affairs, I will forgive him, and my father agreed." ”

"You know how to fight for yourself at such a young age, and your father does spoil you." Changsheng remembered the girl who gave him a room with the old lady, and understood his mind, he said that it was not hypocritical that he didn't want to have a room, he really didn't want it.

Mingjing suddenly became excited, stood up and walked in front of her and grabbed her hand: "Changsheng, I don't lie to you, I really don't want to accept the house, let alone take a concubine, I just want the person I like......"

Changsheng lowered his face coldly and pulled out his hand suddenly, not letting him say any more: "Whether the third master accepts the concubine or not has nothing to do with Changsheng!" I'm just a hired upbringing aunt, and I came to Xie Mansion just to find a bowl of rice to eat, and I really don't have the qualifications to ask about the third master, and I don't want to provoke these miscellaneous things. ”

Mingjing's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Changsheng with a very deeply injured look, but he couldn't say a word, turned around and left, and Mo'er shouted "Third Master" and followed.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, to see if it was leaking, just now (7 o'clock in the evening), the aunt's reception banquet was probably arranged, and she inserted a simple and unpretentious silver hairpin in the mirror, smoothed the creases on the skirt, and called Zihu to go over together.

It's not that it's not bad, it's good. Young and dignified, seemingly frivolous and naïve, but in fact pure-hearted and thoughtful, the most rare is the same age as himself but without a wife and no concubines, and vows to spend his life only with the person he likes, such a man is as rare and precious as a peerless beauty in this era.

It's just that it doesn't belong to her, so she won't provoke-
