Chapter 171: The Question of Having a Child
"Principles?" Meng Xuan looked at her serious little face, smiled and said, "Let's hear it, I want to know everything about you." ”
He Angelica said cautiously: "What I want to ask you is, since you have no other woman alive until now, can you keep it like this?" In other words, that is, I will no longer marry anyone other than me, and wouldn't it be nice to find someone to do the things that you said are going to be scattered, so that there will be a lot less fighting between the concubines and sisters, and the relationship between siblings will be deeper, isn't that great? ”
Meng Xuan turned from smiling to stunned, and then to smiling again, he didn't expect that this seemingly indifferent girl would also have the vinegar of an ordinary woman, and it looked quite cute, he couldn't help but reach out and scratch the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "You don't let me have other women, does it mean that you care about me very much?" What you said to avoid the dispute between the concubines is reasonable, and I agree with it, but I can't agree to your request, I'm sorry, but I'll make up for you from other places, well, we can have a few more children, if you don't like me to have children with others, then I'll only have children with you, is this okay? ”
He Angelica couldn't turn a corner, Meng Xuan said that she couldn't promise not to marry someone else, and said it so resolutely and without doubts, which made her heart sink a little, but he also said that he would only have a child with her, so that her heart floated a little more, floating on the cool water, and her mouth was full of cool breeze: "Since you don't have children with others, why do you want to marry someone else?" Wouldn't you be angry if someone marries you and doesn't want to bear you a child? ”
"Angry? If I'm not angry, why should I be angry? Meng Xuan smiled and went to attack her hand again, "As long as you are willing to have more children for me, so that I can always see you when I think of you, and when I reach out to grab you, I will not be angry with other wives and concubines, if you think this is unfair to them, then I will reluctantly have a good relationship with them." ”
He Angelica shook off his hand violently and sneered: "Seventh Prince, you really know how to 'choose good' to adopt opinions, why don't you consider my first proposal, why can't you not marry another woman in the first place?" That way, no one will get hurt and won't feel like they've made a mistake for life. ”
Meng Xuan felt that such a childish girl was really cute, so she patiently explained to her: "Girl, don't be so intense, although I have no intention of being a woman, but limited by the Meng family's family discipline and identity, I always have to accept a few more wives and concubines to have a family, not to mention that I have three concubines now, I can't throw them away just because I want to marry you, right?" Plus you are four, and then leave three quotas, to prevent you from having to marry in the future, in the last life, I accumulated merit to General Zhaoxin, this life is only high, not low, if the general does not even have three wives and four concubines, it is not good to say, isn't it? Girl, don't drill the horns anymore, don't you know your heart yet, you will always be the first in my heart, you don't fight for anything, I will leave the best to you. ”
He Angelica's eyes widened in surprise: "There are already three?" You just said I was the first, you are lying to me! ”
Meng Xuan said carefully: "How could I have deceived you? What I'm saying is that you are the first woman I voluntarily wanted to marry, but my mother and grandmother gave me three women, and I was forced to take them. I haven't been able to see you in the past three years, and I can't see any woman in my eyes, so I never paid attention to those three people, I heard that you left Duan Xiaolou because he had been lying to you, how could I repeat the same mistake, I really didn't lie to you. ”
He Angelica played with the Gao Jue puppet and Lu Jiangbei puppet in his hand, and said with a smile: "You are not yet sixteen years old, and your elders have already stuffed your three women, it can be seen that you are the one who came and did not refuse to accept all the orders, you ignore others and marry others, what do you think of women?" Furnishings in the house? Who did you hear about me and Duan Gongzi? ”
Meng Xuan defended himself: "I am not a refusal, when I was a child, my mother picked a lot of beautiful maids for me, I thought it was too noisy and took the opportunity to send it out, and then the ninth brother and the eleventh brother received the room, and my mother only thought about me, last year, during the Chinese New Year, she plucked my grandmother to give me and the ninth brother and eleven brothers each a beautiful maid as a concubine, in front of all relatives, I always did not want to brush off my grandmother's intentions, not to mention that the two younger brothers accepted it. Later, I learned that the two younger brothers were all maids, and I, the daughter of a certain person that my mother chose for me, knew that I would not accept it, so I moved my grandmother out, and even the ninth and eleventh brothers were also one more person. ”
"It's really aggrieved, your brothers seem to be very reluctant to accept a concubine," He Angelica sneered and continued to ask, "Who told you about me and Duan Gongzi, except for Qing'er and Bai Yangbai, who is lurking in disguise, everyone else doesn't know about it, could it be that Duan Gongzi mentioned it to others after returning to Beijing?" ”
Meng Xuan confessed: "What I said is true, I don't even remember what the woman's name is, I have tried my best to forget you all these years, I thought I did it, but after seeing you, I realized that I still remember all you have, you can go to my suburban courtyard to understand." ”
He Angelica asked Gao Jue puppet to sit down Lu Jiangbei's puppet, and asked with a smile: "Then the other two concubines, how did you accept it aggrieved?" ”
Meng Xuan heard that her tone was very unkind, and she suddenly felt aggrieved: "Most women keep to themselves before leaving the cabinet, and they rarely even step out of the house, and they don't know their future husbands before they get married, but they still marry happily and are very content." Now that I'm coming back to you regardless of my previous suspicions, why are you sharper than before? I can't marry just you, but my heart is always with you, so isn't that okay? ”
He Angelica revealed himself: "Seventh son, you don't have to be wronged anymore, in fact, I am not only bitter and mean, I have been lying to you, and I didn't plan to marry you in the first place." As I said earlier, I didn't have a good time in Luofu, but it was actually my own doing, so I loved to stay in Luofu, waiting for those people to come to me for trouble, and then let them return in disgrace, and I would be happy to eat two more bowls of rice. But I have offended a person who cannot afford to offend in the past, and I heard that the person will come to the door to seek revenge in the near future, and I am panicking in my heart, but I happened to meet you, and immediately thought, this is really God help me, since the days are too difficult, why not rely on this person first, temporarily avoid the limelight, and wait for the storm to pass before making another plan? ”
Meng Xuan was silent for a moment and sighed, "...... It turns out that this is the case, it turns out that you are to avoid revenge, so you will be so well-behaved when you meet, so why don't you continue to be well-behaved? Why did you confess this to me? ”
He Angelica grabbed the long rabbit ears of the puppet in Jiangbei and confessed: "At first, I just wanted to ask you for a concubine and let you get me out of the Luo family, and when my enemies don't worry about me for a year and a half, I will go back to the Luo family to find my old man." When Zhu Yuanzhang died and Zhu Quan's nephew ascended the throne, as soon as those fanfare actions to cut the feudal domain were launched, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, whose interests were seriously touched, didn't know how busy he would be, so he naturally left her behind. At this time, He Angelica's hand was too strong, and he couldn't help but pull off one of Lu Jiangbei's ears, so he had to put the broken ear into his purse, planning to sew it up at night and then return it to Qing'er.
Seeing that Meng Xuan didn't speak, He Angelica continued to confess his crime and said: "Before I met you, I was worried that I had a bad attitude towards you in the past, and you would refuse to help me with this, and I was quite worried in my heart, just because you are the best person I have ever found, if you don't help me, I will be very passive." I didn't expect you to hug me like you did when you were a child, and suddenly kiss me, so I guess you probably like me a little, and I can't help but feel relieved in my heart, and the chances of asking for your help are a little better. Although I only plan to be a listed concubine for a month or two, so that the enemy will die for me after hearing the news, and I have no intention of doing anything intimate with you, I have a request for you after all, so I reluctantly pretend to be obedient to you. Unlike those women who don't go out of the door, I'm a person who wants to open up very much, and when I ask someone, I can bear it if I let the other party kiss me - I really don't have any affection for you, I'm sorry Meng Xuan. ”
Meng Xuan picked up the Duan Xiaolou puppet on her skirt and asked, "What about him?" Do you like him? Has he kissed you? You let me marry you alone, but you say that you have no affection for me, I don't believe it! If you don't like me, why do you care how many women I have? ”
"Don't mess with it, I'll return it to Qing'er tomorrow, this is a sample of our new rabbit doll series," He Angelica took it back, frowning, "I don't deny that I was moved by Duan Gongzi, and I wanted to be good with him for a while, and wanted to be his wife, but I can't accept that he has other wives and concubines, plus later he framed Xiaoyou and imprisoned, seeing that Duan Gongzi actually started to do things for me that he would never think about doing before, I felt heartache for him, and at the same time, I also realized that I would not have a future with him, so I chose to let go." And I am determined to marry from a monogamous marriage, so I will ask everyone I want to marry, if it is not good, if the other party can consider it, I will continue to understand. ”
"Monogamy?" Meng Xuan frowned, "Apart from me and Duan Xiaolou, who else have you asked, has anyone promised you?" ”
He Angelica apologized and said: "I'm sorry, these are the truest thoughts in my heart, I originally wanted to use you to hide from the enemy, but later I heard that you were interested in me, so I couldn't help but inquire about your opinion on monogamy, thinking that if you agree, even if you are obviously ruthless to you, how can you occupy this place as a wife." Later, my conscience found out, thinking that you passed on my martial arts and revealed my life secrets to me, I shouldn't have used you so blackly, plus your plan to have three wives and four concubines is unacceptable to me, and you and I are still suitable to be masters and apprentices, of course, if you are angry that I lied to you, you can also cut off the master-apprentice relationship with me, just like in the past three years, and I have no contact with old age and death, and I am at a loss of words, and I dare not defend myself. ”
Meng Xuan gritted his teeth and smiled: "You mean, only Duan Xiaolou is the person you like, he can't be that 'monogamous', you don't want to marry him, and others are even more impossible?" ”
He Angelica nodded: "It's basically correct, your comprehension is very strong." ”
Meng Xuan sneered: "Then I want to congratulate you, that Duan Xiaolou has successfully dissolved the marriage contract with the Guan family, and also moved out of the Duan Mansion to open a small Duan Mansion, and now there is a hostess in it, I guess he will definitely come to you, after he finishes serving his father." ”
He Angelica frowned: "Duan Gongzi's father died?" Is he okay? ”
"Well, how could it be bad. Before he went to the battlefield, he promised his son that this time he had military exploits, so he wrote to the emperor to ask for marriage, and gave you the woman you think about day and night as a wife. Duan Xiaolou was very happy after hearing this, because the emperor's marriage cannot be disobeyed, and the woman the emperor gave marriage is naturally higher than other wives and concubines, if Guan Yun refuses to live under you, he can divorce the Guan family and meet your harsh requirements. Meng Xuan's expression seemed to be smiling, "Later, although An Ning Bo died on the battlefield, but fortunately, the emperor not only let Duan Xiaolou attack the title, but also promoted the title from earl to marquis, Marquis Duan got the holy decree of dissolving the marriage contract from the emperor, so angry that Duan's mother did not let him enter the door, so he had to set up another door." But this proud Duan Hou Ye had something happened last month, haven't you heard about it? ”
He Angelica was very anxious when he heard this: "Duan Xiaolou, what happened to him, Meng Xuan, don't sell Guanzi, tell me the details quickly!" ”
Meng Xuan smiled and asked, "Girl, who have you asked for monogamy?" Has anyone promised you? ”
He Angelica was on fire: "You care about me, you tell Duan Xiaolou what's wrong first!" ”
Meng Xuan said slowly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that after he divorced the Guan family, he sent a letter of reconciliation to his concubines, and wanted to use money to send it." Everyone else obediently took the silver ticket and left, there was a dead-eyed person named Lian'er, who went to the lotus pond with a half-year-old son born to Duan Xiaolou, she herself was saved, but the child was infected with lung disease and died, so now he not only serves his father filial piety, but also mourns his son. ”
He Angelica was stunned for a while, and the taste in his heart was inexplicable.
"Originally, I still wondered, if he thought about why you didn't just let the emperor give you a marriage, or come to you to renew the relationship after taking the title, it turns out that he hasn't met your standards yet, and he is still clearing obstacles for you." Meng Xuan smiled, "Girl, in the future, you can make rude requests such as 'monogamy' when you see someone, like us, just listen to the laughter and laugh, and meet a Duan Xiaolou who is on the tip of the bull's horns, take your words seriously, and make it impossible to go home." In the past, the mother and son of the Duan family were close, but now Duan's mother refuses to even see him, you have formed a big grudge with Duan's mother before you pass the door, do you still dare to be his Duan family's daughter-in-law? ”
He Danggui's palms were full of cold sweat, squeezing Lu Jiangbei with one ear repeatedly, and constantly apologized to Duan Xiaolou in her heart, I'm sorry, she said no at the time, she just wanted him to get along with Guan Yun after he died, so that the two of them should no longer cross themselves as an irrelevant person, she thought that when the ten-mile Changye Pavilion saw him off, Duan Xiaolou had already thought about it, didn't he wish her to find her lover as soon as possible? Didn't he and her become friends again? Didn't he say he wanted to open it? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she caused him to lose his father and son.
Meng Xuan sighed and said: "You tell me that you have no love for me between men and women, which makes me like ice water, but the coming days are long, I don't believe that your heart will not be warm for the rest of your life." Since you want my help and let me go to Luofu to pretend to ask you as a concubine, this matter will not lose anything to me, but I am worried that after being my concubine, it will be difficult for you to marry when you 'make other plans' in the future...... It's better like this, I pretended to use the name of my parents to let the matchmaker take the letter of appointment to ask you to marry you as a wife, anyway, it was a fake proposal, it doesn't hurt to borrow their names, they rarely come to Yangzhou, and they shouldn't be exposed. When you found me, you probably fell in love with the big tree of Meng's mansion, and wanted to use it to scare the enemy-the wife of the seventh son of the Meng family, can this identity prevent that person from seeking revenge? Who is that man, and why do you have a grudge against him? ”
He Angelica's mouth was dry, and he said sullenly: "I'm so bad-hearted, what are you doing for me, let me die with my enemies." My enemy is a great evildoer, and he has involved you, and I have no guarantee that he will not trouble you in the future. I have already harmed Duan Xiaolou, and I don't want to hurt you again. ”
Meng Xuan shook his head and said: "I'm not Duan Xiaolou, and I won't do the stupid things he did, girl, there is only one Duan Xiaolou in the world, and since you have no room for recovery with him, then you should always look away in the future." Meng Xuan took out the blue camellia he had just snatched from his arms, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, "Actually, if a man falls in love with you, it is inevitable that he will gradually become a person like Duan Xiaolou, fortunately, I have experienced a life and death, and I can always think about everything, so I didn't become a crazy person for you." I haven't seen you for three years, but I've also come over, and now I not only see you, but also embrace you, I can last another three years, maybe, I will like other women in the future. ”
He Angelica nodded: "That's right, a smart and open-minded person like you should think like this." By the way, why hasn't Bai Yangbai come back yet, he won't have an accident, what is in the artemisia grass over there? ”
Meng Xuan smiled: "Didn't you say that after falling into the Corpse Flower Gu, Qian Peony will become a living dead?" I heard that there is a corpse gate on the rivers and lakes, but I have never seen it, so I don't know if it is true or not. There was only footsteps but no breath in the artemisia grass over there, and I guess maybe it was the Gu man who showed his face, or maybe something was looking for his 'companion'. ”
