Chapter 68: Tong'er's Love
The next few days were the most carefree days since Ding Xiao crossed over.
During the day, in addition to talking with several seniors and discussing the situation in the world, he learned calligraphy from his teacher Cai Yong.
In the evening, it is to drink and chat with the generals to deepen the relationship.
Soon, he became acquainted with a number of new franchisees.
"This son is indeed a bit extraordinary, if it weren't for his lack of reading and late cultivation, he might have stepped into the ranks of the strong at this time."
"Not bad. If he had started cultivating since he was a child, he believed that his current cultivation should be no less than that of Cai Yan's little girl. ”
Lu Zhi and the others gradually discovered that Ding Xiao not only has a view of the overall situation, but pays attention to details, and has accurate and unique opinions on many things.
The most commendable thing is that this kid has an innate affinity, no matter who he gets along with, he grasps the heat appropriately, neither humble nor arrogant, but also respectful and humble, which makes people very comfortable.
Yang Feng and other generals thought that Ding Xiao was bold and generous, informal, and had no arrogance, and he was directly commensurate with them as brothers, making them feel that they were not outsiders, and they quickly integrated into the collective.
Of course, every day after getting drunk, Ding Xiao will be counted by Tong'er when he returns home, and he is actually happy with this long-lost love.
"Tong'er has suffered a lot with my mother and son over the years, and now she is not young, and I am not often at home, so it is better to find a suitable family for her and make her happier."
Thinking like this, he found an opportunity to raise the matter with Tong'er.
But he didn't expect that Tong'er not only rejected him in one bite, but also reacted very violently.
"Young Master, do you want to drive Tong'er away?" Tong'er asked with tears in her eyes.
"Of course not."
Ding Xiao smiled slightly, and said his reasons.
"I'm not married! I want to serve the young master for the rest of my life. Tong'er insisted.
"Don't be stupid, how can there be a woman in this world who doesn't marry?"
Ding Xiao smiled, "This world pays attention to the right family, but don't worry, I will let my father recognize you as a righteous daughter, no matter which son-in-law or which general you like, my father and I will make decisions for you." ”
"I just won't marry!"
Tong'er said angrily, "I know you think I'm an eyesore, at most, when Miss Cai comes, I'll just hide out." ”
In the past few days, Cai Yan has been like Ding Xiao's little follower, except at night, he has been sticking to Ding Xiao all the time.
Tong'er saw it in her eyes and took it for granted that Ding Xiao sent her to marry because she thought she had ruined the good things of the two.
“…… What's the same thing? ”
Where can Ding Xiao understand a woman's ideological realm, and he couldn't help but look strange, "I'm doing this for your good, and it has nothing to do with my junior sister." ”
"I don't care!"
Tong'er said willfully, "Anyway, Mrs. entrusted you to me before she died, and I have to see you get married and have children before I consider getting married." ”
"Then you have to wait."
Ding Xiao pouted.
For him in later generations, it is normal to get married at the age of twenty or thirty, but now he is only sixteen and full of ambition, so he has no such plan at present.
But Tong'er is different, if you can't get married before the age of twenty, it will be difficult to find a suitable candidate in the future.
If it's an ordinary maid, it doesn't matter, but Tong'er is a person who has been with him since childhood, and he is regarded as a sister, and he must be responsible for Tong'er's happiness.
"Tong'er is helpless, and I am the only relative, so whether she agrees with this matter or not, I have to think about it for her...... Fortunately, Tong'er is just seventeen years old, and there are still three years to go before she is twenty, which is enough for me to take care of her. ”
In Ding Xiao's view, Tong'er's ideal partner should be a young and promising grassroots general, or a potential scholar.
In this way, firstly, the other party will not dislike Tong'er's identity as a maid, and secondly, Tong'er will not be wronged with the other party.
For Ding Xiao, who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, there are simply too many such candidates.
Thinking of this, he spoke again, "How can I say that I am also your young master, you will listen to me in this matter, and I will definitely find you a satisfactory Langjun." ”
"Young master, do you think that Tong'er can't help you with anything?" Tong'er lowered her head and asked.
In the past six months, although she was not by Ding Xiao's side, she had been paying attention to collecting news from Ding Xiao, and then she found that she was becoming more and more unable to understand what Ding Xiao was doing.
This made her gradually understand that she and Ding Xiao were completely people from two worlds, and she couldn't help the other party at all.
And Cai Yan's appearance made her firm in this idea.
"Help me?"
Tong'er's starting point for everything is for Ding Xiao's sake, which moved him very much.
But he came from later generations, and his own values are different, so it is impossible for him to delay Tong'er's lifelong happiness because of his own reasons.
Tong'er's question just gave him an inspiration, and he smiled and said, "If you are willing to listen to me and marry someone you like, you are helping me!" ”
"Uh, young master, don't comfort me."
Tong'er obviously didn't believe what Ding Xiao said.
"No, I'm serious."
Ding Xiao explained with a smile, "To be honest, I am short of people now, especially top talents, if you can marry a young talent as my sister, you can help me attract a talent......
“…… Just like your second sister Ding Feng? ”
Tong'er interjected with a suspicious expression.
"Pretty much."
Ding Xiao grinned, "However, although Ding Feng married Lu Bu also has this consideration, it has some revenge colors, you naturally can't be like that to Tong'er, the person you marry must be really liked by you." ”
"Well, since I can help you, then whoever you let me marry, I will marry!" Tong'er said with a firm gaze.
"It's not...... As I said, that person has to be liked by you. Ding Xiao emphasized.
"Whoever you ask me to like, I will like." Tong'er said again.
"I'm convinced."
Ding Xiao was a little speechless.
In this world, people regard loyalty as more important than their lives, just like Chen Gong Gaoshun, who would rather die with Lu Bu than surrender to Cao Cao.
This is true not only of men, but also of women, whether they are faithful wives or faithful servants, they will be praised by the world.
At this moment, Tong'er made it clear that she wanted to marry someone with a determination to die, completely misinterpreting Ding Xiao's original intention.
"So be it." After thinking about it for a while, he said helplessly, "If there are young talents to vote, I will invite them to the house, and then you can choose whichever one you like." ”
"Whatever."
Tong'er burst into tears, and replied with some stinging pain in her heart, and was about to turn around and leave, but she heard Ding Xiao continue, "As for now, I will first ask my father to accept you as a righteous daughter." ”
"I don't have an opinion, you can arrange it."
Dropping this sentence, Tong'er left the room without looking back.
"Hey...... Headache. ”
Ding Xiao couldn't feel Tong'er's friendship for him, but unfortunately although Tong'er didn't look bad, he didn't feel like a call at all.
This is not because of Tong'er's maid background, but in his heart, he has always regarded the other party as a sister, and he has more family affection for Tong'er.
The most important thing is that he doesn't have much in common with the other party, let alone a like-minded person.
"Forget it, emotional matters can't force Tong'er, everything will be fine......"
Thinking like this, Ding Xiao lay down on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
But the strange thing is that another graceful figure appeared in his mind out of thin air, with a smile and a smile, all so real.
