Chapter Twenty-Three: The Conversation
"General Xie, what do you mean by this?" Ming Wan looked at Xie Chen who was sitting on the bed, his eyes were not full of anticipation as the old general said, but his eyes were closed indifferently.
"What do you mean by that?" Mingwan asked again.
"Isn't it obvious enough? I slept on the bed, and you lay on the floor. Anyway, you're an oiran too, don't you even understand such an obvious hint? Xie Chen said.
"Why don't you talk and don't count? Eat one's word? Ming Wan said with some grievances.
"Heh, what did I say?"
"Didn't you tell General Xie that I would live with you?" Mingwan said: "You can't go back on your word." ”
"Oh, that's what you're talking about, that's right, I said, living with you. But that doesn't mean I'm going to sleep with you, and I didn't say I wanted to sleep with you, did I? Xie Chen said.
"How can living together mean sleeping together?" Mingwan said, "Why can't we sleep together? ”
"Sure enough, it's a vulgar fan from the Qinglou, and I don't even understand this bit of truth. Anyone of the opposite sex who can sleep together is either a wife or a concubine for a man. Xie Chen explained to her patiently.
"That. I can also be your concubine, I can do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting if Siwan doesn't know, why don't you look down on me? Why am I not qualified to compete with her? Mingwan said.
"You're not qualified to mention her!" Xie Chen squatted in front of Ming Wan in an instant and pinched her neck: "If it weren't for you, how could Si Wan leave me and leave Xie Mansion?" If it weren't for you, how could I have started this homestay in advance? If it weren't for you, how could I think every day that she couldn't let her come back to live together, do you know how much I want to do because of you! Xie Chen continued: "Originally, I thought it would be good to give you a hint in three days, but I didn't expect you to stick to me and say that you want to be my concubine?" Hum! Let me tell you, even if all the women in the world die, I won't let you be my concubine, you are not even an ant I have stepped on! ”
"Why? Why don't you look down on me? You tell me it's okay? You're going to make me die to understand a little bit, okay? Mingwan looked at him crying, but he felt that Xie Chen seemed to be pinching him hard, but he didn't really make a lot of effort, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to say a word.
"Why do you think that you, a dusty woman who came out of the Qinglou, have not known Ben Shao for a total of two months, and can compare to the time when I have known Princess Siwan for more than 20 years, to put it bluntly, you are a descendant from heaven, and you will never be able to compare with my wife. Got it? Xie Chen said.
"And what else is there about her to compare to me?"
"You're such a fool of yourself. Okay, if you don't die in the heart of the Yellow River, I'll let you die a little more clearly today. Xie Chen said: "Although she is a little inferior to you in everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can she be the first in the literary world of Guozijian since she was six years old?" Can she win first place in the equestrian competition in the same year? That year, the streets and alleys of Dongguan were full of her name and her championship-winning events, can you? When she was fifteen years old, she said in front of the emperor that she wanted to sit in the position of the dragon chair and rule the world, if it weren't for her grandmother who stopped the emperor in every way, she probably wouldn't have escaped some torture that day, and since then, she hasn't mentioned it again, and the emperor didn't let her go to the court again, for fear that something would happen.
"She, although she is frizzy, like a little flower cat that explodes at a point, climbs high and bottom every day, not someone who has been with her for three years, can't catch up with her speed at all, can't catch up with her speed, so don't think about understanding her thoroughly. That's what she told me, and I managed to keep up with her speed back then. Do you know what she told me at the time? ”
"What did you say?" Ming Wan couldn't cry anymore, she looked at Xie Chen's eyes with light, revealing an extremely proud look, and thinking about his attitude towards herself just now, his eyes were sharp, there was no enthusiasm, on the contrary, the irrepressible indifference in his eyes, as if he could freeze to death, it was a world of difference.
She was dressed in red, and in the heavy snow, she was like a proud snow and red plum, and said, Your speed is not bad, you can barely catch up with the princess's horse. Since you have been with this princess for so many years, this princess is reluctant to make it difficult for her to hold the princess's hand for you, okay? Seeing me stunned there, he took the initiative to take my hand and said, don't you know what to do, others think about holding the princess's hand every day, but you can't hold it, you are the first person to let the princess take the initiative to hold hands, you have a personality, I like it. ”
Then when she saw me shaking hands, her face was red to the root of her ears, and she smiled shyly, and said, don't hold so tightly, then say okay, hold my hand, and I will be my person in the future, your hand can not be held by anyone except me, you know? Also, you have to be a man, you can't have intimate contact with other girls, otherwise I'll be angry, I promise, as long as you do that, you won't be able to coax me, you know? When we talked about the dowry, she was surprised and said, what, isn't it enough for you to have me alone? Am I not counting the best gift for you? I said yes yes yes I just want you to be okay? She just couldn't help but tease, her face began to turn red again, and her voice was extremely quiet. ”
"The first time we hugged, it was when she was finally fished out by the old grandmother that day, he sat on the roof with me, I was beside her, her crying eyes were red, and she looked at me aggrievedly and said, why can't girls be on an equal footing with boys? Why can't a girl be an emperor? You are blatant discrimination! I leaned on her shoulders and helped her wipe her tears, you don't know, I was distressed when I saw her crying, and said don't cry, the face of the little flower cat is more flowery, and it has become a presbyopia cat when crying. ”
When she stared at me, I chuckled in my heart, although that day, it was really hard to coax her, but now that I think about it, her eyes at that time, when she was wronged, she could still be so strong, so fierce, her ruthlessness, is my favorite feeling, and that ruthlessness, not only you don't, it can be said that I haven't seen anyone else except her. Because the fierceness was exactly the same as when I fought on the battlefield, and she was the person I had identified from the time I saw her. I've been thinking all my life, I only think of her, I won't change anymore, I only have her in my life. ”
"Then can you tell me about the matter between you?" Mingwan was actually looking forward to hearing about them.
"To tell the truth, if we all take out the things between us, I can't finish talking about them for three years, every moment with her, I am serious in my heart, I will remember all her inadvertent details, her safety is what I care about the most, I can even exchange my life for the peace and joy of her life. If you hadn't loved someone so seriously, you wouldn't understand this feeling, and at most it would be sympathy. Xie Chen said.
"At the very least, you can't stop me from pursuing my own happiness. I like you, Mingwan likes Xie Chen. Mingwan expressed her attitude.
"Then what you mean is to rely on me." Xie Chen took out his previous attitude towards her, he thought that after he said his experience with Siwan, she would change her mind and would no longer pester herself like before, but what he didn't expect was that she would return to the point of being hopeless, so he shook his head helplessly.
"Don't say it so ugly, I'm also a brave person who pursues my own happiness." Mingwan said angrily.
"But your pursuit is not in line with the requirements of the times, not only now, but also in the future, you are doing a third party in the relationship, you have destroyed the original happiness of other people's families, do you know, this is very immoral." Xie Chen said.
"I don't care, it doesn't matter what kind of morality or theory it is, I just like you, I just want to be with you!" Mingwan said.
"What are you trying to do? If you want money, I can give you as much as you want, or even give you three gold bars for nothing, enough to buy you for a lifetime, I can give you whatever you want, but my heart and my heart can't accommodate you at all. Xie Chen also expressed his attitude.
Mingwan helped him clean up the things on the bed and said, "I don't care, you don't take so many gold bars, and I don't want to give me money." I don't want to give as much as I want, I'm not one of those vulgar fans, I don't like you for your money, you know? What I like is you, General Nanzhao, Xie Chen, it doesn't matter if you don't like me, it's enough that I like you, as long as you don't drive me out of the house and don't kill me, I just want to like you, and I will never change, I will identify you. ”
"You! Look at you like this, how old are you? Xie Chen estimated his age, he should only be sixteen years old, but he was already 20 years old, although there was no big problem at this age, but this little girl was real...... Xie Chen was just helpless: "I don't know shame!" ”
"And where do I sleep tonight? You're such a clean person, will you sleep with me? Mingwan's eyes were glued to the bed, and she naturally changed the topic.
"No matter what you're thinking right now, first take the light in your eyes down." Xie Chen directly ignored her question and continued: "It's a bit silly to watch, do you know it. ”
"If you don't speak, you can not speak." Mingwan was a little helplessly angry.
"Oh, then you make a bunk on the floor, and I'll sleep in the bed." After Xie Chen finished speaking, he didn't speak again.
"Hey! Did you do it on purpose? Mingwan complained: "I'm asking you!" Did you do it on purpose? Speak! Are you dumb? ”
Xie Chen lay there with his eyes closed, like a dead man, silent, as if he hadn't heard what Ming Wan had just said.
Ming Wan remembered what she had just said not to let Xie Chen speak, so she could only complain in a bitter voice: "Hey, you are a ......" looked at the empty wooden floor and said, "Hey! Xie Chen, you, as the host, if you want the guests to lay on the floor, you have to take out the futon, so tell me where it is. ”
"It's in the closet on your left, and if you don't have a hand, I can reluctantly help you get rid of it." Xie Chen didn't want to have too much contact with her anymore, so he just clasped his hands together and prayed that he would end the three-day disaster quickly.
"Cut, it's really incomprehensible. Boring! As she spoke, Mingwan took out the futon and spread it on the ground. After working for half a burnt of incense, he finally tidied up the floor where he slept, and just wanted to lie down, he saw Xie Chen leaning sideways on the bed, looking at her without blinking.
"Ahh
"What's your name?" This voice made Xie Chen's ears hurt.
"You, how did you turn over without a sound? Do you know that looking at others like this in the middle of the night will scare people to death? Mingwan rebuked her.
"What? I sleep in my own home, I can sleep as much as I want, what's the matter, is my family status so low that I still need to report to you, an outsider? Do you think what you're saying is ridiculous? Xie Chen thought speechlessly: "How can this Mingwan think that the mother's love that day is so disgusting, it's all the same love and screaming, do I look so scary?" ”
"Isn't that going to scare Siwan someday? Does she hate me, I want to talk to me? The more Xie Chen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he simply stopped sleeping, sat up, and walked outside the house.
"Huh? Where are you going so late? Mingwan asked casually.
"I don't need to report it to you." Xie Chen said as he quickly got dressed: "Tonight's matter, don't tell the old man that I'm going out, otherwise if you let me know that you told him, I will let you go to sleep at the gate of Xie Mansion tomorrow, do you believe it or not?" ”
"I believe it, I listen to you, can't you not say it?" Ming Wan took out a cloak: "It's windy outside, it's not cold for you to wear this." ”
"How did this cloak end up in your hand?" Xie Chenren, in addition to this cloak, was the first birthday gift that Siwan gave him.
"Huh? I fell out of the futon just now when I was holding it. Mingwan looked into his eyes and felt that he was already angry.
"You'd better have the slave maid clean this cloak before tomorrow night, or I won't spare you." Xie Chen didn't go out without looking back, and he didn't forget to throw her the door before leaving.
"Didn't I just take a cloak? If you don't appreciate it, forget it, and give me the door? What kind of character! Mingwan muttered in her mouth, looked at the cloak in her hand, and saw a line of small words: "Happy birthday to the little birthday star Ah Chen!" Wan'er who loves you the most. He laughed at himself: "No wonder, he gets angry......"
