Chapter Thirty-Eight: What Makes People Hesitant
"Gaze at my sister, if you eat a little bit, don't eat or sleep, you're about to break your body." Nangong Rou put the dishes on the table, saw her worried look, and asked, "Why are things worried?" Can you tell me?"
Hua Ningshuang picked up the chopsticks and said to her, "The Yan Kingdom wants to attack and occupy our Qunfang, and the strength of our two countries is equal, if it weren't for the fact that the Yan Kingdom has more men and fewer women, maybe it won't be easy to attack." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Yan Guo." She moved a stool and sat next to her and chatted, "I deeply remember that the people of Yan Kingdom strangled their newborn baby girl to death and buried it, and there was not even a tombstone. In the world, the people of Yan Guo do not regard us women as human beings, and my father told me when he was a child, if you dare to marry Yan people in the future, you will break your legs. ”
While eating, he listened quietly, and after the food was swallowed, he asked, "Did the baby girl sell anyone?" I just strangled and buried my own flesh and bones, and I did it in a hurry?"
"I also asked my dad and he said that baby girls are not worth anything unless they are girls over seven or eight years old. The problem is that the people of Yan cherish that little ration, for fear that raising it for a few years will cost them their lives. Qiu Tong and Qiuyi, who served me in the village, only added up to five taels, and was sold to Heifeng Village at the age of seven. By the way, they have now reached marriageable age, and it is better to marry Qunfang, and they will not be bullied. ”
Hua Ningshuang thought that they would not die in a catastrophe, and they would have a blessing, so she made a promise in distress, "Let them come to Qunfang, I will definitely introduce a good family to the girl." ”
"Hmm... We are going to leave tomorrow and go back to Heifeng Village, is the matter of Yan Kingdom serious? I can stay and help you. Nangong Rou originally wanted to go back, but her friend was currently suffering, and she left her to go back to her home at a critical moment, which was very unrighteous.
"Rou'er, thank you for your kindness, this is Qunfang's business, I don't want to affect you." After eating, she put down her chopsticks.
Nangong Rou grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "The two girls next to me are going to marry Qunfang, how can you say that they are so extraordinary?" They have taken care of me for many years and have always hoped that the two young ladies would have a good home. ”
It's hard to be gracious, so I have to take a step back, "Okay." But you have to promise me one thing, if the situation is in crisis, run away by yourself, don't sacrifice yourself for Qunfang. ”
"Well, I'm doing a good job, don't worry about my safety. It seems that the matter of Yan Guo really gives Sister Ning Shuang a headache, don't think too much about eating and sleeping well, Yan Guo is not a strong country, maybe nothing will happen at all. I'll go back first, you can rest! ”
"Okay."
She didn't go back to the house to sleep, but went to Nangong Dusk, who was eating the food brought by Cuicui unhurriedly.
If you leave it for too long, it will be a little cold, but you can still eat it.
"If you don't go to bed so late, what's wrong with me?"
"Hmm!" Nangong Rou sat next to him and said very seriously, "There are very few women in Yan Kingdom, and as far as the eye can see, they are all old men, don't you think about Qunfang Kingdom." Brother, do you want to stay and help Sister Ningshuang? Maybe she will be grateful to you, and after she has a good feeling, she will be able to show favor slowly, and the snow and frost will melt sooner or later when she meets the sun. ”
Nangong Twilight snorted coldly, swallowed the food and said, "But her heart is not frost at all, it is stone and steel." ”
"Who made you not leave a good impression at the beginning, you have to snatch Sister Ningshuang up the mountain, no girl has the courage to marry you. She once said that she was afraid that after marrying you, you would throw her into the deep mountains and old forests to feed the wolves when you were unhappy. ”
Suddenly, she stood up and looked around, asking, "Brother, where's Amber?" Isn't it supposed to be with you now? ”
"What kind of owner has what kind of pet, just like you, naughty and troublesome, running out for a long time. It's dark, and I'm too lazy to look for it, I'll come back anyway. ”
Seeing that his brother still didn't care about his beloved cat and ate by himself, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face. It's a pity that I didn't pinch it because there was no extra meat on my face.
The meat was not pinched, and it hurt a little to pinch it, he stood up and took the chopsticks to Nangong Rou at the other end, and made a gesture of wanting to beat someone, "Don't think that you are a sister and dare not knock you, I have treated you as a younger brother since I was a child." ”
"Brother, you are so unloving, I really shouldn't have persuaded Sister Ningshuang to marry you some time ago, and said a lot of good things, in vain." She said angrily, "It's not during the time when I was in Black Wind Village, I stayed in Qunfang during this time, and occasionally gave you a few kind words." ”
He sat down again, and his tone was much softer, "And what is her attitude?" ”
"I know and don't tell you, you either give up or continue to be rejected, I'm angry right now anyway."
Nangong Rou deliberately sold Guanzi, and heard a sound of amber meowing outside the door, and was about to leave to find it, but Nangong Dui shouted, "Wait, do you want your brother to die alone?" Amber is as clever as you are, and she won't get lost. ”
She turned around and nodded with a smile, "That's right, it would have been nice to me earlier!" So brother, can you help or not? Come with me, Yan Guo is equal in strength to Qunfang, and Sister Ning Shuang must be in need of noble help at this moment. ”
"But..."Nangong Dui hesitated about this matter, for fear that she was shaving her head and her head was hot, "If she begs me, I will definitely spare no effort to help her." You also said that the two countries are equal in strength, and maybe they don't need help, but it seems a bit nosy. ”
"Whether you can help or not depends on your brother, I will stay, if you want to go back, you can go back to Heifeng Village by yourself." Gone, I'm going to look for amber. ”
