Chapter 196: The Trap of Tenderness
In Ao Lie's dedication to learning for most of the year, at the beginning, Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang took turns to deliver food to Ao Lie every day, and later, Zhen Mi also joined in, but at that time, Ao Lie only had thirteen articles in his heart, and he didn't take these details to heart.
At this moment, Ao Lie had just returned to the mansion when he was called over by Mrs. Ao. Mrs. Ao looked at Ao Lie with a frosty face, and scolded her face: "Lie'er, you already have Yan'er, a wife, and you will marry Shang Xiang in two or three years, how can you still mess with flowers and grass outside?" Mother asks you, what's going on with that Zhen Mi? ”
Ao Lie said inexplicably: "Mother, what are you talking about?" Between the child and Miss Zhen Mi, they are just ordinary friends, and there are no other emotional factors mixed in with them. To this day, Ao Lie still failed to understand the meaning of Zhen Mi sending him Sipa, and had to sigh again for Ao Lie's low emotional intelligence.
"Nothing else? No, my mother asked you, when you were studying in the school, did Miss Zhen Mi often bring you food? Haven't you ever thought about what that means? This shows that Miss Zhen Mi has regarded you as her own person, this matter, you must solve it as soon as possible, like others, my mother does not object, as long as you can convince Yan'er and Shangxiang, my mother will agree; If you don't like it, you have to make it clear to others, if you go on like this, how will Miss Zhen Mi behave in the future? Mrs. Ao said bluntly.
A woman's heart is always thinner than a man's heart. Liu Yu has been in the school almost every day in recent months, and he has seen Zhen Mi delivering food to Ao Lie, but Liu Yu has never thought about anything else; And Mrs. Ao, who does not go out of the door, can see the mystery at a glance.
"Mother, do you listen to the child's explanation......"
Ao Lie had just said the beginning when he was interrupted by Mrs. Ao: "Okay, if you have anything to say, you go and talk to Yan'er and Shangxiang, they are already waiting for you in the room." Mother is old, too lazy to care about your trivial matters anymore. ”
Reluctantly leaving Mrs. Ao's room, Ao Lie came to Cai Yan's room. At this moment, Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang were sitting on both sides, with unhappy looks on their faces, waiting for Ao Lie's arrival. After seeing Ao Lie walk into the room, Sun Shangxiang, the female overlord, took the lead in attacking: "Are you willing to come back?" Isn't it hiding in the school, eating the food sent by Miss Zhen every day, enjoying it very much? Cai Yan nodded firmly, contrary to his previous gentleness. Shows that she supports Sun Shangxiang's views.
Looking at the second daughter's reproach helplessly, Ao Lie said innocently: "It's not like that at all. A certain person is concentrating on studying the thirteen chapters of Guigu in the academy, you have all seen it with your own eyes, and Kong Ming and Zilong have testified to a certain person, and a certain person does not dare to delay a moment in the academy, how can he have any other thoughts to enjoy? ”
"Hmph, Kong Ming and Zilong are all breathing out of the same nostril with you, so they naturally speak to you. Don't use them as shields! Sun Shangxiang retorted domineeringly to Ao Lie.
Ao Lie helplessly reached out and scratched his head. He also said, "Then the master and the uncle, you should believe it, right?" They can also testify for something. ”
Cai Yan stood up and said lightly: "It is impossible for the two of them to follow you all the time, what have you done every hour." They can't know everything. ”
Looking at Cai Yan in disbelief, Ao Lie said in surprise: "Yan'er, how did you become so mean? It's not like you. Cai Yan blushed at what Ao Lie said, and sat down with his head down. No more talking.
Seeing that Cai Yan was easily taken down by Ao Lie, Sun Shangxiang stood up to relieve Cai Yan: "Sister Yan'er is not afraid that you will be snatched away by others?" Do you remember what you promised me and Sister Yan'er? Never take a third wife! Ao Lie felt that he was really wronged, and spread his hands and said, "Shang Xiang." The eldest husband is full of his word, since he promised you something, he will naturally do it. This matter is really wronged by you. Although Miss Zhen is as beautiful as a fairy, she doesn't have the slightest thought about her. ”
Cai Yanhuoran, who had already lowered his head, raised his head and asked, "Then why did you accept Miss Zhen's silk handkerchief?" Men and women send poems to each other, this is the gift of love! ”
Cai Yan's words made Ao Lie almost not jump, and said in disbelief: "At the beginning, Miss Zhen laughed at the simplicity of a certain residence, and a certain person casually recited a Burrow inscription, and later Miss Zhen took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with poems as a return gift, and accepted it without much thought. I really don't know how to do it, and sending poems to each other is a gift of love, how can this be good? ”
Seeing that Ao Lie really didn't know the meaning of sending poems to each other, Cai Yan's face softened a lot, and he sighed and said: "Husband, it is very common for a husband to have three wives and four concubines, if you are really interested in Miss Zhen's family, my sister Shangxiang will not stop you, but you must ensure that you will be as good as the three of us." Sun Shangxiang also put away her angry look, and snorted coldly and said: "Miss Zhen doesn't think about your tea and dinner every day, she is getting thinner and thinner, she is a very good little beauty, she is tortured by you and is about to become unlike, for the sake of Miss Zhen's face, we will give in one more step, but we will never have a fourth one!" ”
Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang's words took a sharp turn, but Ao Lie was shocked into a cold sweat, and asked with concern, "How is Miss Zhen?" Sun Shangxiang pouted and replied: "I also said that I don't like people, look at your current appearance, when I mention Miss Zhen, my face is full of concern." Don't worry, she has nothing to do, she just has a sick illness, lovesickness. ”
Ao Lie let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said softly: "It's okay if there's nothing wrong." It's all to blame, what did I do when I accepted her silk handkerchief, but I really don't know the meaning of sending poems to each other. ”
Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang glanced at each other, and then Cai Yan asked, "Husband, we don't object anymore, why do you still say this?" Are you really not moved by Miss Zhen at all? ”
Zhen Mi, that is, Zhen Luo, who was glamorous for a time in history, later married Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Pi, Cao Pi was extremely fond of Zhen Mi because of Zhen Mi's beauty and gentle and generous character, and immediately made Zhen Mi the queen after the emperor. At the same time, Cao Pi's younger brother Cao Zhi also secretly admired Zhen Mi's beauty, but it was difficult to express his love openly, so he wrote a word that was praised by later generations - Luo Shen Fu. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are Cao Cao's two beloved sons, and Cao Pi eventually inherited Cao Cao's foundation. It can be seen how Zhen Mi captivated the country and the city and fascinated all beings. Such a big beauty, if you want to say that Ao Lie doesn't like it, that's a hell of a thing. However, Ao Lie's liking is just simple appreciation, he belongs to the type of beauty that looks eye-catching, and he really didn't think about marrying Zhen Mi.
Facing Cai Yan's question, Ao Lie truthfully answered what he thought in his heart: "Miss Zhen is as beautiful as a fairy, and being able to marry Miss Zhen is something that any man will feel happy about." A certain pair of Miss Zhen also likes it from the bottom of my heart. However, this liking comes from the heart and from the soul, because I feel that she can resonate with someone in the depths of my heart. Speaking of this, Ao Lie was silent for a moment, raised his head and looked at the roof, his mind falling into the unattainable memory of his past life. Zhen Mi is innocent, lively and a little willful, like the girl next door in her previous life, seeing Zhen Mi. Ao Lie has the illusion of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, that's all.
Slowly putting away his thoughts, Ao Lie continued: "However, there is really no other thought. What's more, so-and-so has promised you that he will not marry a third wife, and the big husband is good for heaven and earth. How can you not believe what you say! It is already a blessing for all people to be able to have the two of you by their side, and I have other ideas. Isn't I sorry for you? ”
After Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang listened to Ao Lie's inner thoughts, the expressions on their faces were quite complicated, both sweet and gratifying, with a hint of pity in between.
Zhen Mi's unique crisp and pleasant voice sounded behind Ao Lie: "Do you really not like me at all?" I mean, that kind of love between men and women? Ao Lie turned around abruptly and saw Zhen Mi turning out from behind the screen, with two crystal tears on her pretty face, which seemed to be pear blossoms with rain, which was extremely cute.
It turned out that during the more than half a year that Ao Lie devoted himself to learning, Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang had a resistance to Zhen Mi from the beginning, to a slow acquaintance, and later after an in-depth understanding, the two daughters really experienced Zhen Mi's innocent and lovely side, and gradually eliminated their resistance to Zhen Mi, and became closer. This is why Zhen Mi sent food to Ao Lie in the later stage, and it was Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang who took the initiative to give Zhen Mi the opportunity to deliver food, so that Zhen Mi could take the opportunity to contact Ao Lie more. But every time Zhen Mi came back, he was sullen, and Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang asked him again and again, only to know that Lu Dao Ao Lie was almost unpretentious to Zhen Mi, and sometimes he didn't even say anything to Zhen Mi, only knowing that Lu Dao was holding a book to study.
This angered the female overlord Sun Shangxiang. At the beginning, Sun Shangxiang also suffered similar treatment to Zhen Mi, and Ao Lie thought that Sun Shangxiang was a pseudo-mother, so he stayed away from her. Zhen Mi's situation aroused Sun Shangxiang's pity, so that this female overlord drew up a plan for Ao Lie to marry Zhen Mi on the premise that she had not yet married Ao Lie, and she was really worthy of the title of female overlord. Regarding Sun Shangxiang's proposal, Cai Yan, who has always been reasonable, did not refuse, and agreed to participate in this farce for the first time, and also pulled Mrs. Ao into the water. Mrs. Ao and Cai Yan have very similar temperaments, both belong to the gentle and empathetic type, seeing Zhen Mi losing weight day by day, the two can't bear to sit idly by, and Zhen Mi's personality is also very much in line with their hearts. So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law teamed up to plan this scene of forcing relatives, trying to force Ao Lie to reveal his true feelings, but he didn't expect that the situation would be like this in the end.
Ao Lie looked at Zhen Mi blankly, and said a little overwhelmed: "Miss Zhen, you are beautiful and fragrant, why don't you worry about marrying Lu, you are just a martial artist, I'm afraid you are not worthy of the elegance of Miss." ”
Nodding slightly, the two teardrops on his face slid to the ground with Zhen Mi's movements, and Zhen Mi said bitterly: "So that's the case, then I understand." I'm sorry for the trouble you have had with your two sisters these days, farewell. After taking a deep look at Ao Lie, Zhen Mi slowly turned around Linglong's body and walked out. From her slightly shrugged shoulders, it can be seen that she left crying all the way. (To be continued......)
