Chapter Forty-Eight: I Don't Climb Towering Trees
Yuwentai looked at Ran Ying, his eyes were extremely gentle, waiting for her answer.
"Is Lone good to you?"
Is he good to her? Or is it bad?
Ran Ying also looked at him with beautiful eyes, and replied slyly: "Childe's question is ...... How can everything in the world be described only as good or bad? ”
"Oh? Tell me about it. Seeing that she was about to make another move, Yu Wentai's eyes lit up, and there was a faint expectation of waiting to be abused.
Ran Ying said unhurriedly: "The son bought me a good pen and ink, which can be regarded as good; However, Childe often punished me for kneeling or copying books for some trivial things, which was not good. Is this good or bad, how can it be generalized? ”
“……”
Yu Wentai's face froze. His kindness to her was just that he gave her a set of pen and ink on Xingguan Street? Even the last time in Weiyang Palace and this time, the life-saving grace is not good?
This will avoid the important and light, this slippery bad thing!
Suddenly, he burst out laughing, and his voice was so pleasant that he said, "Ah Ying, the more you are like this, the more Lone likes you...... What can I do......"
As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at her and asked leisurely, "What do you say?" ”
There was a sudden pain in the corner of her forehead, and now it was Ran Ying's turn to freeze.
Why can't this man get oil and salt? She used all kinds of methods, all kinds of words, and all kinds of postures to tell him that they were impossible, why didn't he give up? He doesn't think that persistence will win, right?
She rubbed her forehead and smiled awkwardly, and said: "Gongzi is the pride of the sky, a generation of heroes, noble and powerful, why bother to succumb to Ran Ying, a little girl in the market who has no appearance, no talent and no virtue." Not worth it, not worth it...... It's not good to spread out......"
Yuwentai stopped laughing, changed a serious expression, leaned on the couch and stared at her with burning eyes: "Gu wants to know, why is King Xiang intentional, but the goddess has no dreams?" ”
No matter what is worth it or not, he wants to know, he Yuwentai, he wants to have appearance, status, and emotion, why does she not care about him, and even always looks like she wants to get rid of him?
He's a big man, don't you want to lose face?
The maids on the side, as well as Liu Wuhe and Lou Qi outside the door, nodded vigorously in their hearts. They also want to know the answer to this question. So why wouldn't she be so condescending to please her so condescendingly? Why are you not impressed in the slightest?!
Seeing him ask such a question, Ran Ying also got up from the couch, stood in front of him, and said, "Why does Ah Ying have to think about impossible people and have vain illusions? ”
She is saying that if he does not allow her to be a wife, she will never consider it?
Yuwentai was unwilling, and continued to ask: "Ah Ying is a concubine for Lone, and Lone will also hold you in the palm of his hand, so you and I are happy, isn't it?" ”
Ran Ying smiled, her bright eyes looked at him intently, and she didn't evade: "Childe, imagine that if Aying and Gongzi are concubines, Gongzi will marry another high-ranking woman who is the right family." If one day Ah Ying is naughty and makes a mistake, or just because Childe loves Ah Ying too much and makes his wife unhappy, and Mrs. wants to punish Ah Ying, beat and scold Ah Ying, or even give Ah Ying to others, what should Childe do? ”
It turned out that she was worried about this. Yuwentai replied without thinking about it: "Lone Nature will protect you." Lone will stop her and reprimand her. What's so difficult about protecting you in a lonely back house? ”
The smile on Ah Ying's face disappeared, she slowly shook her head, and her expression was very serious: "Childe is wrong." Zhou Yiyun, family, Li Privet. The lady manages the inner house, beats and scolds and punishes the people in the inner house, and the son cannot be beaked or opposed, otherwise it is a loss of discipline in the management of the family, and there is an imbalance between inside and outside. In that situation, even if the son has the intention to protect Ah Ying, he can't. Otherwise, it will be criticized and discredited. What's more, causing the dissatisfaction of the lady's maiden family is also a trouble for the son. I'm afraid that when the time comes, Gongzi will be put in a dilemma, and Ran Ying will still be the one who is sacrificed. ”
Yu Wentai was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he understood what she meant.
If she is a concubine with him, the more he spoils her, the more likely he will bring hostility and trouble to her in the entire backyard, and it will also make him known as favoring concubines and incompetent in governing the family.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ran Ying knew that he had listened to this. She looked him straight in the eye and said slowly and seriously: "Confucius said, the state of danger is not entered, and the state of chaos is not lived. Mencius said that those who know their fate do not stand under the rock wall. Childe, although Ah Ying is dull, she will not put herself in such a passive situation because of Childe's rash promise, or because of greed for Childe's powerful position. ”
All the people around were silent. Ah Ying's words left them confused and shocked.
Seeing that Yu Wentai's face was gradually darkening, Ran Ying was not afraid, and stood straight in front of him, standing tall like a green bamboo: "Atai, if you can't even give me an equal status, how can you hold me in the palm of your hand?" Love without respect is just a game of hunting, and it will not last long, so what's the use of asking for it? ”
Atai!
She called him that!
Yuwentai looked at her intently for a long time, but his gaze gradually became gentle. A question that had been haunting him for a long time before this moment suddenly had an answer.
There are thousands of people, why is he attracted to her alone, lingering on her, and can't stop?
Because she is alone, because she knows her position so well, she knows so well what she wants and what she deserves.
It was quiet inside and outside the house. Their conversation shook everyone's heart.
In this world, it seems that it is a natural principle for men to be inferior to women. If a woman can meet a lover who is with her, she raises her eyebrows and respects each other like a guest, which is her creation; But a girl without a father and mother said the word equality to the most powerful man in the entire Guanlong, which was like a thunderclap on everyone's head.
How did she get such confidence?
She is not greedy, delusional, or extravagant, and she is not afraid of not getting it. The so-called desirelessness is rigid.
Ran Ying slowly retreated to the door, looked at Yu Wentai's handsome face, and looked at him with a firm and calm smile: "Atai, although I have won your favor and have used your favor to achieve my own goals, I have never thought of climbing your towering tree. Your house is too deep; And I, even if it is just a weed in the field, blowing past me is the wind of freedom! ”
After speaking, she grinned at Yuwentai and smiled brightly, turned around and ran away.
Leaving only a room full of stunned people.
And Yuwentai looked at her back in a daze.
He Louqi and Liu Wu walked in, looked back at Ran Ying's back and said, "Ho, Ah Ran is a little woman, but her ambition is not small." ”
Yu Wentai carefully recalled every word she had just said, and finally smiled deeply, but a trace of sadness crossed her heart: "What did she say...... is the true love of the world. ”
He had some regrets. Due to his noble background, he never paid attention to the weeds in the field. Little did he know that the sun was shining on the weeds, and the clouds were drifting over their heads, and the weeds rustled when the wind blew. ——
There is no difference between those lowly weeds and the towering trees of the field.
