Xin Yi believed that there must be a law of love in crossing, but she didn't expect that love would come so suddenly, and she didn't even give her any preparation.

Her face was warm and flustered, facing a person who was also red-faced, Lord Cao, the two of them looked at me, I looked at you, and they were at a loss.

For Cao Yi, Xin Yi has a good impression. With such an excellent man, she really couldn't find a reason to refuse, but in her selfish heart, she felt that this matter was very weird.

Paper Man.

A paper man who has seen it on a drawing.

Even if he becomes a game character, he is still a paper man.

It's unreal.

God is kidding her, right?

What I didn't encounter in my twenties before, but I encountered it in the game?

Xin Yi didn't have that feeling of spark of love for Cao Yi for the time being, but if she rejected him, she couldn't speak, she only lowered her head and said that she wanted to think about it.

Master Cao didn't know how to face it for a long time, so he said that you should think about it, don't worry, and hurriedly turned around.

That back is like a thief.

Xin Yi watched him straddle the horse and leave, afraid that Fang Cai's words would hurt his face, so he lifted his lips and smiled, waving his hand at him.

"Master Cao, go slowly."

Cao Yi's face was still embarrassed, he arched his hand on the horse's back, and soon disappeared into the crowd of people on Mahang Street.

Back in the inner hall of the pharmacy, Xin Yi's face was still flushed, and his heart was beating like someone was beating a drum.

The two little girls, Xiang Ling and Liangren, didn't notice anything abnormal, and were still looking at the small statue of Wen Zi, praising Lord Cao's painting skills.

An Niangzi glanced at her and approached with a smile.

"Master Cao is good, don't miss him."

Xin Yi was startled, and his face turned a little redder.

"Don't talk nonsense, what are you thinking?"

An Niangzi looked like a person who had come over, and looked at her with a smile, "You young people, you can't hide any thoughts on your face...... Don't think I don't see it. Lord Cao is interested in you......"

Xin Yi didn't speak.

An Niangzi asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xin Yi lowered his head and tugged at the beard of an old ginseng, "I didn't think much about it." ”

An Niangzi raised her eyebrows, "You don't like Lord Cao?" ”

"It's not that I don't like it." Xin Yi couldn't tell what it was like.

Is it love across a dimension? It's not true. How can she say this, and let An Niangzi understand?

She shook her head and smiled softly, "Okay, stop making fun of me." We are almost ready for the opening, and we don't need you in the shop today, so let's go and help Xiangling post a 'missing person notice'. ”

Every more day you go missing, one more day of danger.

Wen Zi's family is at ease with her, but Xin Yi is a new human who has seen too much social news, and as time goes by, she has less and less confidence in Wen Zi's safety.

～

In the next two days, everyone in Xinyi's pharmacy, including the two guys, was sent out to look for someone and posted a notice, only Xinyi was alone with Xiao Sannian to guard the store at home.

Cao Yi said those words before leaving, and he couldn't let go of it in his heart, and he didn't come to the pharmacy for two days, and he was already restless.

On the thirtieth day of the first month, he couldn't help it anymore, and took advantage of the gap in the upper value to come to the shop.

Xin Yi was sitting at the counter, teaching Xiao San to read and read, when he heard footsteps, and when he looked up, he saw Cao Yi's slender figure, pestle there.

Cao Yi was dressed in an official uniform, holding a knife on his waist, and stood at the door to block most of the light.

"Mrs. Zhang is busy?"

“……”

Xin Yi looked up and looked at him.

The aura of embarrassment almost burst the air.

"Not busy." Xin Yi got up, saw Sanbao coming over, motioned for her to continue writing, turned around and invited Cao Yi in.

"Lord Cao, please take a seat."

Then she turned around and poured tea again.

"Don't bother." Cao Yi saw her eyes dodging, glanced at Sannian who was obediently sitting there writing, and said in a low voice: "Cao Mou was presumptuous that day, and after going back, he thought about it left and right, and regretted it very much in his heart......"

Regret?

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Cao Yi still reviewed himself, "Without careful consideration, he recklessly said the words of those abrupt ladies, it is really, it is really Cao's sin......"

Xin Yi lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"Master Cao, let's have tea."

She was going to pour tea again, Cao Yi was very embarrassed, and she was afraid of causing her trouble, so she reached out to stop her, and accidentally grabbed Xin Yi's hand.

Xinyi: ......

Cao Yi hurriedly withdrew as if she was burned by her.

"Cao abruptly ...... the lady"

It's presumptuous, it's abrupt, it's offensive, it's a sin, are ancient men so polite and observant?

Xin Yi, a modern person, is much easier than Cao Yilai.

"Lord Cao doesn't need to care."

Seeing that he was nervous, Xin Yi coughed lightly and slowly moved the tea in front of him.

"I also thought about Lord Cao's words that day."

Cao Yi held the teacup and borrowed the convenience of drinking water to hide his nervousness and embarrassment.

"I like Lord Cao very much." Xin Yi smiled slightly, "An excellent Langjun like Lord Cao, which little lady in Bianjing City doesn't want it?" I'm no exception, I'm a layman. However, has Lord Cao ever thought about it, the gap between you and me is thousands of miles? ”

Cao Yi looked up.

Xin Yi stared into his eyes.

"Master Cao said that he was pleased with me. What are you going to do with me? Will the Cao Mansion allow an adult to marry a widow with three children and go back to be a wife? ”

Cao Yi was dumbfounded.

In the excitement of that day, he really didn't think carefully before he said what he thought.

It's just a powerful man like him, and liking a woman is actually a very simple thing.

If you really like it, you can take it back.

Even if Xin Yi is a widow, it is just a little more fragrant and beautiful, and it won't cause much trouble......

But marrying a wife is different.

Cao Fu's wife wants to be a good family and have a decent family background, even if Cao Fu doesn't care about Xin Yi marrying, he will also care about whether she has a maiden background and whether she can help him in his career.

"I ......"

Xin Yi saw his hesitation and smiled slightly.

"Master Cao doesn't need to say it anymore, I know it all in my heart. It's just that although I can't bear it, I don't want to be a concubine and be willing to be cheap. ”

She raised her hands.

"I can survive with my hands, why should I snort?"

Seeing that Cao Yi was stunned, she pursed the corners of her lips again, smiled slightly, slowly propped her hands on the table, and leaned over to stare at Cao Yi.

"I love life now, three children, a pharmacy, it's simple. If Lord Cao doesn't dislike it, we can still be best friends, and that day, I will treat it as if Lord Cao didn't say it, and you don't have to take it to heart......"

Before Cao Yi came here, she thought a lot, and even thought about the worst outcome, that Zhang Xiaoniang would give her a cold face and refuse to pay attention to him, never expecting that she would think so far and so much.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Thankfully, she had given him serious thought.

Sadly, she thought of him a little too much.

"Mrs. Zhang misunderstood. Cao didn't look down on you. ”

Cao Yi's eyes were deep, with a little annoyance, and a little light smile.

"When I say I didn't think it through, I mean I didn't prepare things well, and I opened my mind rashly...... But I never thought of taking you as a concubine, let alone having a concubine in this life. ”

Xin Yi was surprised.

Nowadays, it is normal for dignitaries and nobles to ask flowers and willows, let alone concubines?

Think about it, Cao Yi is a handful of years old, and he is still alone, which is really not normal.

"Master Cao, is there something wrong?"

She asked sincerely, but Cao Yi blushed in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, lady, there's nothing wrong with me."

He smiled, saw that Guan Xinyi had doubts on his face, and sighed lightly.

"The Cao family has a rigorous family style and has always established a family with etiquette. My father often said that there are thousands of people in the family, and there is one person in charge. I will be the head of my house in the future, and I must be strict with myself and be innocent...... Under the family motto, my parents are very strict with me, not to be lazy, let alone wanton and absurd, before marriage, the children of the Cao family must not accept concubines into the house......"

Speaking of this, he smiled, "It can also be said that my family is very timid. Before the Son of Heaven drove, he was very careful in everything he said and did, and now that my sister is the mother of the country, we must be even more cautious in our lives......"

Xin Yi didn't know why Cao Yi was telling her this.

Seeing him stop, he pursed his mouth with a smile and listened attentively.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yi reached straight over, grabbed her hand on the table, shook it in his palm, and looked at her seriously.

"I want to marry you, not a concubine."

That hand, the palm of the palm was hot, and the man's warm eyes cut Xin Yi's skin like a soldering iron.

She saw sincerity and emotion in Cao Yi's eyes, a heart beat so fast that she almost forgot "Bianjing Fu", forgot about the paper man, under the gaze of such a pair of eyes, she couldn't say anything to refuse.

"I know what you're worried about."

Cao Yi's voice was low, slightly annoyed.

"You're right to be worried. I'm going to marry you, it's going to be a little troublesome, but now is a good time—"

He glanced at Xin Yi and smiled slightly.

"When Lan'er and the prince of Guangling County are decided, the pressure of marriage on me will be much less...... My family is not unreasonable, especially my sister, who has always liked you, and if I offer to marry you while they are happy right now, she will definitely help us. ”

The relationship between the king of Guangling and Cao Yilan has been decided?

Xin Yi thought for a moment and nodded.

Cao Yi saw that she recognized her words, and her face looked a little better, "Even if the elders in the family still have any opinions on this, just wait for you to cure your sister's illness and become a man in one fell swoop, which is an indispensable contribution to the Cao family...... At that time, there will be no more barriers between us, and no one will stop us......"

Xin Yi listened quietly.

Cao Yi is right, sincere, and eager.

This is an obstacle of the times, not theirs.

But Xin Yi just thought it was weird.

It was hard for her to tell whether the subconscious rejection came from the pride of the modern soul or some other emotion. Even if she has integrated her body and mind into this era, it is still difficult for her to convince herself to be a touchstone under the feudal marriage system, let alone a tragic emotional role like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

In fact, if she was given a choice, she would rather be a free pharmacy proprietress than a gorgeous canary in the family's mansion.

Even if it's for love, even if there's a gorgeous birdcage there.

"Lord Cao also misunderstood what I meant."

Xin Yi slowly pushed Cao Yi's hand away.

Not resistant, but rational, she was smiling at Cao Yi.

"My concept may be a little different from that of Master Cao. If I like you, I don't care about nothingness. As long as Lord Cao is not married, has no wife, and has no girls around, then if you are willing to do so, I will not exclude being with Lord Cao, we can try to get along, like ...... Couples like that? But if Master Cao wants to marry me, I will have to think about it seriously. It's not my pursuit to marry easily. ”
