Chapter 15: The General's Wife's Conditions
Xie Tunan's dining has always been elegant, and Lime is also pretending to be reserved at this time, eating food in small bites.
Seeing that Shen Mange didn't move his chopsticks much, Xie Tunan said with concern: "Miss Shen, but these dishes are not appetizing?" ”
Shen Mange responded with a slightly embarrassed smile: "No, no, these dishes are delicious, but I just ate too much in the pavilion, and I really can't eat it at this time." ”
Thinking of the mountain of fruit husks in front of her, Xie Tunan couldn't help but smile lightly, he turned his eyes and instructed the maid on the side: "Go and make a cup of sour plum soup for Miss Shen." ”
"Yes."
Shen Mange hurriedly said: "General, you are polite, you don't have to be so troublesome." ”
Xie Tunan smiled back: "No, if Miss Shen doesn't taste these delicacies, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”
When Shen Mange heard this, he nodded and thanked him: "Thank you, General." ”
"The general and the general call it like this, it seems that we are separated, you are Xiaowei's friends, and you will also call me cousin or Brother Nan in the future."
Brother Nan... Elder brother? ... Lime silently thought, "Oh, isn't that too intimate?" I'm so shy...
"Uh... Okay, Brother Nan, just call me Xiaoge. ”
Lime also echoed, "Brother Nan, just call me Xiao Ning." ”
"Okay, then we will be friends after today, Brother Nan will replace the wine with tea and toast the two younger sisters." As he spoke, Xie Tunan raised his glass to the two of them.
Shen Mange and Lime followed closely and raised their glasses.
When the tea is in the stomach, even if the three of them become friends.
"Cousin, when you went back to the house yesterday, you happened to meet Xiao Ge and Xiao Ning, you left them to eat in the house, today, the four of us got together to eat again, I think the two of us really have a lot of fate with Xiao Ge and Xiao Ning."
"yes, fate is such a wonderful thing."
The maid brought the sour plum soup, and Shen Mange thanked him softly.
"Xiaoge, how about a taste of this sour plum soup?"
"Okay." Shen Mange picked up the bowl and took a sip, and suddenly the sweet and sour soup slowly went down from his throat into his stomach, Shen Mange couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and drank two more sips.
It could be seen that this sour plum soup was very appetizing, but somehow, Xie Tunan actually felt a little satisfied in his heart.
He put a pair of dried chopsticks into his cousin's plate, and whispered, "Cousin, eat more." ”
"Thank you, cousin."
After drinking a few sips of sour plum soup, Shen Mange felt that it was a lot appetizing, so he began to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables.
Xie Tunan looked at the three younger sisters eating seriously, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and he tasted tea lightly.
Le Baiwei asked, "Cousin, when you come back this time, the emperor has something to look for you?" ”
Xie Tunan put down the teacup and responded: "No, now that our dynasty has been stable and peaceful, it is the peace of the world, and the emperor remembers the hardships of guarding the frontier for us, so he transferred a group of people to take over the position of us and continue to guard, so that I can come back in advance, and in a few years, we will continue to go back." ”
Hearing this, Le Baiwei couldn't help but feel distressed, "Cousin, you've really worked hard in the past few years. ”
"It's not hard, everything is for the people of my court to live a happy and healthy life, as long as the world has been peaceful, the efforts I and the soldiers on the frontier will not be in vain."
When it comes to the world, a proud smile appears on his face, and this is where his duty lies.
Shen Mange sincerely admired this man from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but raise the cup in her hand and toast him: "Brother Nan, I salute you." ”
Lime also raised his glass and saluted him: "Brother Nan, I also toast you." ”
Xie Tu Nan was suddenly surprised, and he said happily: "Okay, then Brother Nan is welcome, thank you for the toast of the two sisters." ”
The atmosphere is so warm and harmonious, so that Le Baiwei can't help but be moved in her heart, after she lost her sight when she was a child, she had been depressed for a long time, and then her father's double care made her come back to life from despair, at that time, in addition to her cousin was willing to take her to play, accompany her crazy, the people in the house treated her as a porcelain doll, for fear that she would bump into it, every day she was either sitting or lying down, no one dared to play with her, she also knew in her heart that they were afraid of their father scolding them, if it weren't for her cousin who had been with her, Her childhood may have always been dark, but now, with Xiaoge and Xiaoning playing with her, she feels that it doesn't matter if she never sees the light of day in the future, because now she is really happy.
"Cousin, you should have married a sister-in-law earlier, what kind of girl do you like? Cousin, I'll help you keep an eye on it. ”
Suddenly, the topic changed very quickly, although Lime was eating calmly, but she was nervous in her heart, and then, she secretly raised her eyes to observe the general's complexion.
This heavy responsibility has now been transferred to Weiwei's body, so Shen Mange can also concentrate on moving his mind to dry rice.
Xie Tunan's expression was slightly stunned, Xu was surprised that his cousin would suddenly turn the topic to this matter, he hooked the corners of his lips and asked, "Cousin, why do you suddenly care about my affairs?" ”
Le Baiwei smiled, "Cousin, as a younger sister, can't you care about your brother's affairs?" , cousin, your age is not too young, just come back this time, and settle your marriage. ”
Xie Tunan replied with a smile: "Uncle hasn't urged me yet, so you started?" ”
"That's because you've been on the frontier all these years, even if your father wants to urge you, there's no way, when my father comes back, if he knows that you're back, he will definitely go to your house to preach to you."
Xie Tunan's eyebrows were frivolous, and he said unexpectedly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, cousin, you are becoming more and more able to speak now." ”
"Cousin, you haven't answered my question yet."
Xie Tunan thought for a while and replied: "There are no special requirements, as long as you are kind-hearted and filial to your parents." ”
Hearing this, Lime's heart suddenly beat a few times, and the general would say such an answer, which really surprised her.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
Xie Tunan chuckled, he picked up the cup and sipped tea, and his eyes couldn't help but skim in the direction of Shen Mange, she... It seems that he has been concentrating on eating, and he doesn't seem to care about what kind of girl he likes, but somehow, a feeling of loss wells up in his heart, and Xie Tunan, who suddenly realized that he had this thought, suddenly took his eyes back, what's wrong with him? Obviously, he had already made his heart clear that he would never marry a wife and have children in this life, but suddenly there was that kind of unknown feeling in his heart just now, and he hurriedly drank a few more sips of tea to stabilize his emotions.
During this period, he felt the kind of gaze of Xiao Twist again.
