Chapter Fifty-Four: A Bold Proposal

There was no one around on the night of the cricket, but the men and women in the pavilion were shy with a hint of palpitations, and the square gauze curtain was quietly lowered, and the people in the pavilion could no longer be seen.

The woman needs a little stability, the man needs to be secretly moved, and the two of them take what they need, and hide in the pavilion without incident.

The current calm is the happiest time since Xia Shang crossed, and this hazy emotion is unpredictable but satisfying. If he could, Xia Shang would be like stretching out his hand to wrap his arms around the waist of the woman beside him, and feel the temperature of that pretty face with his other hand. But Xia Shang didn't dare to do anything, he didn't understand why Qin Lan was suddenly so intimate with him, and he was afraid that further actions would break the peace of this moment, so he borrowed a hand to hold her, and then borrowed a shoulder for her to lean on, he was really satisfied.

"You're the first person in the Sai family to be nice to me."

The peace is broken, but such words make people's hearts warmer.

Xia Shang didn't know what to say, but Qin Lan became the protagonist now.

"I've been cooking for many years, and although my cooking skills are not as good as yours, I can understand that the dishes are the best reflection of a person's heart. Whether it's the roast chicken on the first day or the rice cake on the second day, I can feel your heart. You are the one who is really good to me, and you know why you are good to me. I appreciate your ......."

"Young lady, I didn't do anything at all."

"Can you relate to it? When a person has completely lost confidence in life and spends every day in numbness. At this time, a bright light appeared in front of him, maybe that light was just a firefly in the night, but for a person in the dark, how precious was it? Do you understand? ”

Xia Shang understood, but he didn't speak, because he knew that he just had to listen at the moment.

"My family is poor, my mother died early, my father is a gambler, and I wanted to sell me to Qinglou in order to pay off my gambling debts. Before passing the door, the master of the Sai family had already told me that the young master of the Sai family had a bad temper and asked me if I could bear it. I said yes, as long as I don't get sold to Qinglou, I can suffer anything. That's why I was taken in by Saijia. This is my own choice, so no matter how fierce my husband is to me, I have no complaints. I've been able to endure it for the past two years, no matter what happens. But since I met you and eaten the food you gave me, I suddenly found that I was not so determined anymore. Just like today, I feel very uncomfortable with this little grievance, and I want to confide in you. ”

As he spoke, Xia Shang felt water dripping from the back of his hand, and his body holding his arm trembled slightly.

Xia Shang sighed silently in his heart, but his tone remained steady: "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me like now." ”

Qin Lan didn't answer, and wiped her eyes over and over again.

"Tell me about your father-in-law, right? What kind of man is he? And why is this done to you? ”

"Husband?" Qin Lan was a little surprised, and paused for a while before sighing faintly: "Hey! In fact, my husband is even more bitter than me. It's true! You don't know what his expression was when he was sick, I'm afraid it was an unbearable torment for ordinary people. The husband was a poor man, who had been sick since he was a child, and had hardly ever left that room, and had never even seen the light of the sun. I'm lucky, by comparison. As for why he is so cruel to me? Actually, it's not just me, he's like everyone in the family, including my mother-in-law and father-in-law. Ever since he was sensible, he hated everyone in his family, because he felt that his family had brought him to this world to suffer, and that it was his family who had passed on his tuberculosis. So he's defensive, and maybe only has a little trust in me. ”

"Never been out of the house since you were a child? Haven't seen the sun yet? Xia Shang gasped, and said in his heart What kind of life is this? It's no wonder that he has an elusive temper that ordinary people can't fathom.

Qin Lan nodded: "As far as I know, that's the case." Or rather, when his condition deteriorated, he never left the room. Tuberculosis has not been cured, so the doctor recommended recuperation, no wind and rain, and less movement on weekdays. So I stayed in the house all the time. ”

After listening to the experience of the young master of the Sai family, Xia Shang had long lost his jealousy, and was more sympathetic. Or maybe they feel that such a person is not a threat to themselves, so they sympathize. In short, Xia Shang had the idea of helping him.

In the 21st century thinking of Xia Shang, the so-called tuberculosis is tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is indeed difficult to cure, and Xia Shang has no cure. But it's certain that it's not okay to stay at home all the time, and you can't see the wind or the light. To deal with stubborn diseases, people's willpower, mentality, mental outlook, external environment and other factors are very important. I stayed in that moldy room all the time, smelling the lethal stench every day, even if I wasn't sick, I had to hold my illness.

"In that case, why not let him go out for a walk? Wouldn't it be nice to get some fresh air and see the outside world? Maybe his temper will become better after seeing all kinds of things in the world, and he will be less resentful in his heart, right? ”

"Huh?" Qin Lan let go of her hand in surprise and looked up at Xia Shang, "Let your husband go outside?" This...... How can this be? ”

"What's not to do?"

"But the doctor said you can't walk around."

"Doctor? The doctor is not a god, and not every sentence is correct. The doctor said that if you don't let you out, you won't go out? If he really wants to be right, the young master's illness should have been cured a long time ago. Since it has not been cured, it means that the doctor's words cannot be fully believed. Trust me, try to get your husband out for a walk, and there will definitely be unexpected results. ”

"But ......" Qin Lan was still a little taboo, "In my opinion, I'm afraid he won't ......"

"I'm going out for a walk tomorrow, why don't I take you with me, how about we go out together? As for how to move your husband, can I leave this matter to me? ”

"Then let's try it tomorrow."

……

Xia Shang and Qin Lan had a tryst in the small pavilion in the back garden until late at night, and after separation, they went back to sleep in the house, and it didn't take long for dawn to come.

Early in the morning, Xia Shang was in good spirits, and the rare rest of the day had to be dealt with with with the fullest attitude.

Before traveling, naturally I won't forget the agreement with Qin Lan last night. I went to the door of the young master of the Sai family first, knocked lightly, and the door opened quickly.

Qin Lan was the same, she dressed up early and neatly, the smile on her face was full of anticipation, and when she saw Xia Shang, she said sweetly: "Are you here?" ”

"How? Have you mentioned it to you? ”

Qin Lan was a little embarrassed, and lowered her head timidly: "No...... No......"

"Why haven't you said it yet?"

"Also...... Or you say it. ”

It can be seen that Qin Lan is a little taboo about Xia Shang's proposal. But Xia Shang didn't care, strode into the house, and said in a loud voice: "Young master, get up quickly, go to Chang'an City today." ”
