Chapter 45: Uncle Naïve Beauty
Time passed slowly, and just when Helian Sheng thought that Song Yao would be silent forever, Song Yao finally spoke.
"Lian Sheng, your words are very heartwarming, and I am also very moved. But now I'm really not sure if I have a relationship with you, so ......"
"I don't listen to rejection." Helian Sheng opened his mouth and interrupted Song Yao's words, "I'll give you a few days to think it through, don't rush to give me an answer." ”
"Lian Sheng......" Song Yao called helplessly, and there was nothing she could do about Helian Sheng, who was a bit of a scoundrel.
"It's not early, you rest early, and you have to go back tomorrow morning." Helian Sheng didn't give Song Yao a chance to speak, turned around and left.
"Your injury is not suitable for bumps, let's do it again in a few days." Afraid that Helian Sheng wouldn't hear it, Song Yao shouted.
Helian Sheng was silent, and soon left Song Yao's house.
Back in the guest room where he was temporarily staying, Helian Sheng glanced into the dark and saw Linfeng standing in the corner with his head down, his face sank.
"As a secret guard, can't even the master protect him thoroughly?" Helian Sheng asked coldly.
"Subordinate convicted." Linfeng knelt on one knee to plead guilty, his clothes were torn in several places, and his long hair was still covered with fallen leaves.
No one knew that when Helian Sheng hugged Song Yao and left with light skills all the way, Lin Feng fell from the tree in surprise, and even forgot that he would do light work, and it was a big fate to come back alive.
Helian Sheng snorted coldly and scolded: "In the future, I will train for two hours every night, if it is not good to protect the lord again, go to Zhuxin and rebuild." ”
"Yes, master!" Lin Feng bowed his head in response, secretly complaining in his heart, but he also understood that to protect Song Yao in the future, there must be no negligence or disrespect, otherwise his life would be gone.
Not to mention this night, Song Yao and Helian Sheng each had insomnia until dawn, but the Qin Mansion in Fucheng was lively all night.
As the largest family in Fucheng, the major shops continued to catch fire overnight, and even the Qin family's mansion could not be avoided, and I don't know how much financial loss was made.
However, neither the Qin family nor the government found out the abnormality of the fire, and they knew that someone wanted to harm the Qin family, so they could only secretly watch out.
The head of the Qin family is just a merchant, and he finally used real money to get through the relationship in the capital, and sent the granddaughter he had cultivated since childhood into the palace.
The uncle of the Qin family wrote a letter overnight, asking people to send them to the capital quickly, hoping to get the help of the Qin nobles who were favored in the palace, after all, the Qin family spent half of their net worth to support the Qin nobles to ascend to the throne, the purpose was to help the family, if she was useless, the Qin family would no longer support her.
Song Yao didn't know that the Qin family had lost the status of the richest man in the capital overnight because of her, and she didn't know that the Qin family had dropped a heavy reward for the mastermind of the arson case, and even the prefect was afraid of the Qin family's connections in the capital, so he vigorously investigated the case.
At Song Yao's insistence, Helian Sheng did not go back to the county seat, but was happy to enjoy a few days of manor life.
The fly in the ointment is that because of Song Yao's foot injury, the quality of his diet in the past few days has dropped to the point that He Liansheng has no appetite, and Song Yuanbao, a snack, sighed according to the meal.
Song Yao likes farmhouse meals very much, and occasionally changing the taste makes her appetite even more.
"Eat more whole grains, which is good for your health." Looking at the big and small ones on the dining table, holding chopsticks but not wanting to pick up the vegetables, Song Yao pretended to be pitiful and said: "If you are like this again, I will cook the dinner, but I just hurt my foot, not so squeamish." ”
"Mother, I can eat coarse grains." Song Yuanbao picked up the rice bowl, took a big bite into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's just that I eat vegetarian every day, I've lost a lot of weight, can I let Aunt Li stew a chicken at night?" ”
He Liansheng elegantly took a sip of green vegetables, he really couldn't whet his appetite for this kind of meal with clear soup and little water, but he didn't want Song Yao to be affected, so he could only endure to fill his stomach.
It's only been two days, and Helian Sheng feels that every time he eats is an endless long time, and what he is most afraid of is that Song Yuanbao calls him to eat.
Regarding Song Yuanbao's proposal, Helian Sheng also agreed, this Aunt Li's cooking skills are too ordinary, maybe it would be better to make a meat dish.
Although Song Yao told Aunt Li more than once that she should not be reluctant to put oil in cooking, Aunt Li was used to being thrifty, and she could only see a few drops of oil in the vegetable soup, and she was reluctant to put other ingredients, so it was strange that such dishes could be delicious.
Song Yao was defeated by the eyes of the two, and the plan to clean up her stomach could only be suspended.
"Okay, let Aunt Li make chicken stewed mushrooms at night, so that the two of you can eat enough." Rubbing the back of Song Yuanbao's head, Song Yao smiled lightly.
Looking at Song Yuanbao with envy, Helian Sheng looked at Song Yao with a blank eye, wanting to ask for appeasement.
However, Song Yao deliberately ignored him, and refused to even give him a look, and Helian Sheng could only poke the rice at the bottom of the bowl angrily.
Since Heliansheng's confession that night, Song Yao has deliberately avoided him, although everyone will still chat or sit together to eat, but Song Yao's eyes rarely make contact with Heliansheng.
If Song Yuanbao was not around, Song Yao would not even talk a lot.
"Yuanbao, will I be your father?" Regarding Song Yao's evasive attitude, Helian Sheng expressed dissatisfaction, so he deliberately pulled into the topic.
"Really?" Song Yuanbao's eyes were bright, he forgot to chew the rice in his mouth, and asked in surprise.
"Your beautiful uncle is joking, he is so good-looking and rich, the cousin waiting for him to marry at home must be more than your Uncle Yun's, does Yuan Bao want his mother to go to his house to be a concubine who doesn't know what number he is in?" Song Yao hurriedly spoke, lest her son nod in agreement.
Song Yao happily accepted the ancient life, but she couldn't communicate the three obedience and four virtues here, especially the husband and son.
Although Song Yuanbao is very small, he has the power to control Song Yao's fate, even if Song Yao will not allow this to happen, but the reality is so cruel.
"Uncle Beauty, is what my mother said true? Do you have a lot of cousins waiting for you at home, and a lot of concubines? Song Yuanbao looked at Helian Sheng very seriously, waiting for his answer.
It was Song Yao, who was also waiting for Heliansheng's answer, even if she already had a number in her heart, she still wanted to hear Heliansheng say it himself.
"Yes, indeed." Helian Sheng didn't evade this question, and the words were answered to Song Yuanbao, but the realization fell on Song Yao, "But those women were all invited by my mother to the house as guests, or someone forced me to make eyeliner." Therefore, I have nothing to do with them, and I never recognize their identities, at most I give them a place to live. ”
Song Yao was a little depressed, knowing that it would be such an answer, but she still accepted her incompetence.
Although Helian Sheng said it very sincerely, Song Yao didn't believe that a normal man, surrounded by a lot of beautiful women, could really sit still.
Bowing her head and eating the food in the bowl, Song Yao no longer participated in this topic, but no matter how much she ate, she couldn't fill the hole in her chest.
Song Yuanbao is a small person, so he doesn't understand the meaning of Helian Sheng's words, but he can only hear that there are many women in his family.
"Uncle Beauty, our relationship is so good, don't say this kind of joke again in the future, so as not to affect the relationship between us." Song Yuanbao said disappointedly.
"Uncle is not joking, he really wants to marry your mother, as long as she nods." Helian Sheng said sincerely.
Song Yao's head hung lower, and he silently gave Helian Sheng a negative answer.
Looking at Song Yao, Song Yuanbao sighed and said, "Uncle Beauty, you already have so many women, don't worry about my mother anymore." My mother said that she only has a toothbrush and a man in her life, so you don't have a chance, Uncle Beauty. ”
Saying that, Song Yuanbao jumped out of the chair, came to Helian Sheng's side, patted his arm and comforted: "I know that my mother is the best woman in the world, but Uncle Meiren, you can only remember her good in your heart, don't waste time for my mother, find a woman who can accept you to marry earlier." ”
He Liansheng originally wanted to say something more, but after listening to Song Yuanbao's words, he decided that it was better not to talk about feelings in depth in front of the child.
A hairy boy who is a few years old pretends to be old and looks like he understands emotional things, which is really not very cute.
"Yuanbao, when you are full, you will go out to practice kung fu, these days you are only interested in playing, and the basic skills are not solid enough, don't want to become a hero in the future." Helian Sheng decided to send the little guy out.
Glancing at Song Yao, seeing that she had no intention of forcing herself to eat, Song Yuanbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but said in a disdainful tone: "You adults are just annoying, if you want me to leave, just say it, you have to find an excuse for my good, it's really naïve." ”
Helian Sheng almost choked on the tea, he was so mixed up that a child despised it, and if it was spread, it would definitely become the laughing stock of many people.
Resisting the urge to throw Song Yuanbao out, Helian Sheng raised a friendly smile.
Song Yuanbao walked out of the restaurant with his head up, and thoughtfully closed the door, and then left humming a nursery rhyme.
There were only two people left in the house, so Song Yao put down the rice bowl and said solemnly to Helian Sheng: "Lian Sheng, I hope you won't make this kind of joke in the future, Yuan Bao is still young, and he can't tell the real from the fake." ”
"This little ghost, talking can choke people to death, are you sure he really can't tell the difference?" Helian Sheng asked rhetorically, and seeing Song Yao's eyes flashing, he continued: "If you mind, I can clear out all the women in the house, even those cousins can let them all marry within a month." I promise that we will never let another woman disturb our lives in the future. ”
"You're mistaken, I didn't mean that." Song Yao shook his head.
No matter why the women in Helian Sheng's mansion exist, they are all innocent people, and they are really sent away by Helian Sheng, maybe they can't even save their lives, and Song Yao doesn't want to be an executioner.
"Song Yao, what are you afraid of? With what I know of you, if you really don't have me in your heart, you will never give me a chance to continue to entangle. Helian Sheng got up and walked to Song Yao's side, raised his hand to hook her jaw, frowned and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do before you are willing to open your heart and accept me?" ”
Looking at each other, Song Yao could feel Helian Sheng's intentions, and she could also feel the irritability in his heart.
But......
"Lian Sheng, marriage is not a matter of two people, and it is not even a combination of two families. Ever since we met, you've been a mysterious being, appearing or disappearing as you please. I believe that it is true that you say that you like me and want to marry me at this moment, but if you suddenly disappear one day, what should I do? Have you considered my feelings? I am not only a widow, but also a mother of children, and I am responsible for my own happiness and future, and I have to be an example for my children. Song Yao was worried for a few days, and she didn't plan to delay it any longer, so she simply said her thoughts and made a complete decision.
Facing Helian Sheng's affectionate gaze every day, Song Yao knew that she was about to lose it, she was afraid that her last shred of reason would be polished and fall into an uncertain emotional entanglement.
