Chapter 55: Likes Can Be Upgraded
Xu Siling believes that when facing any problem, he can find a way to come up with the best solution and deal with it in a short time.
But in the face of Ella's straight-ball confession of love, he was really stunned.
Especially he has an illusion that he didn't dare to talk about love at the age of twenty-eight, and a girl who is only thirteen years old dares to say that she knows what marriage is and what love is.
Could it be that Ella knows better than herself?
Xu Siling didn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
And Ella knows how to hide too well, and during the day Farina also said that Ella was not hostile to her, which was very strange.
Now after listening to the previous words, there is no hostility in this, Ella already treats Falina as an opponent and enemy, which makes Xu Siling think more and more that Ella is so terrible, and her possessiveness is not ordinarily strong.
She has a firm attitude of not giving up on changing people or things.
The other Xu Siling didn't dare to say it, but in the fact that Ella was very smart, he recognized it, even to the point of being terrifyingly smart.
Ella's godless gray pupils, like the gaze of a horned little devil, can penetrate people's hearts and know what the other party is thinking.
He obviously didn't say anything before, but Ella could be the first to understand what he wanted to ask, what he was questioning.
"Do you think I don't know love?"
Really.
After Ella finished speaking, she was waiting for Xu Siling to answer, but seeing that Xu Siling had been silent, she spoke again like a roundworm in Xu Siling's stomach.
"No, you sensed my seriousness, and you didn't question my statement." Ella confirmed something through Xu Siling's eyes, and was slightly unhappy: "Are you in... Look down on me. ”
Xu Siling found that cold sweat broke out on her back, and she didn't seem to be able to hide her thoughts in front of Ella.
"I don't look down on you, you're smart."
"You didn't question my statement, but you look down on me because you think I'm too young to understand what love is."
Xu Siling decided not to hide it anymore, and it was better to open up to each other.
"I can't say that I look down on you, I can only say that at your age, it's too early to talk about love."
"Many girls become mothers at the age of eleven or twelve, and they have love before me, so why should they look down on me."
Ella's tone gradually became serious, and she seemed very unhappy that Xu Siling looked down on her, she would rather be questioned and refuted than looked down upon by Xu Siling.
"Who said that to get married and have children is to have love?"
Ella didn't answer, but said slowly, word by word.
"Like can be upgraded, there are never two people in the world who are born in love, you say I don't understand love? I know. ”
"Love is a kind of affection that arises in the process of two people getting along, opposites attract, the relationship between men and women is so delicate, whether it is sympathy, friendship, even family affection, it is possible to transform into love."
"I know that you just treat me as a child because of my age, it doesn't matter, I will always mature one day, and in the process, I will slowly tell you with actions that I am different from other women in your eyes."
"I'm already an adult, I just need to make sure you don't hate me, don't fear me, don't dislike me."
Xu Siling couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this time he was completely out of line.
Earlier, Ella also asked herself directly, she dares to love, do you dare?
Now Ella is clearly taking a step back, or rather... She is very confident, smart people are very confident, she believes that she will not be hated by Xu Siling, and even believes that Xu Siling will one day completely accept her.
"I can't tell you."
Xu Siling admitted that he regretted coming to chat with Ella, and the trouble did not decrease, but he felt that things had become more troublesome.
Ella's serious expression suddenly disappeared, and instead showed a slight joy of victory.
"Then my husband, will you still send me home?"
Xu Siling was silent, not knowing how to answer.
"Don't worry, I won't waste your food, I will save the food you give, and I will try to hide myself so that no one will find out what I am different."
Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins of the Holy Religion.
Broadly speaking, gluttony refers to the indulgence of something, such as alcoholism, accumulation of unnecessary items, indulgence in gambling and pleasure without thinking about making progress, etc., simply put, excessive greed for enjoyment.
But most of the civilians have little common sense and intelligence, and in the eyes of most of the Saints, gluttony is overeating and wasting food.
The Executioner's family was already unpopular, and Ella at home often felt hungry, she rarely ate enough, and ate many times without stopping, and her family noticed her abnormality.
It's not that the people of the Florfin family haven't thought about marrying Ella to an ordinary person, the executioner's income is high and the benefits are good, and the gray income part is something that ordinary people dare not think, as long as the dowry is in place, many people are still willing to accept the daughter of the executioner's family.
Not to mention that Ella is so good-looking.
But the problem is also very serious, Ella looks stupid, not very smart, if only that's it...
The people of the Flophon family are not worried that someone will cheat the dowry, because the other party does not dare.
After two newlyweds are together, they are not allowed to divorce, and bigamy is even more sinful when it is discovered.
If you want to marry again, you can only have one of your spouses die.
Therefore, European aristocrats have always had a wife at home and a bunch of lovers outside.
No one dares to cheat the executioner's family of dowry, such as pretending to marry Ella, and after getting a rich dowry, he secretly kills Ella and marries other women.
This is not going to happen, even though the Executioner family has always been looked down upon, and no one wants to come near them.
But again, no one dared to mess with the executioner family.
If Ella is just simply stupid and stupid, with a problem with her brain, it is nothing, she is good-looking, coupled with the rich dowry, there are still ordinary people who are willing to marry Ella.
But Ella's overeating... It is not acceptable to ordinary people.
Not to mention that Ella has a big appetite, whether everyone can afford to raise it or not, gluttony alone is one of the seven deadly sins in the Holy Religion.
As for the interpretation of the true meaning of gluttony, ordinary saints do not care about the details.
Especially... The Flophon family didn't dare to let others know that their daughter Ella had such a problem.
Originally, many people regarded the executioner as a symbol of the devil, and if others knew that there was a person in the executioner's hands who was gluttonous with the seven deadly sins, the life of the Frophon family would be even more difficult.
Therefore, the Floropin family deliberately moved to Tamu Fort for the purpose of marrying their daughter Ella to Xu Siling.
And the military horse as a dowry is extremely rich, which also represents the heart of the Flophon family.
Before Terry came, they didn't expect to be rejected by Xu Siling, and of course they didn't think that Xu Siling would raise this horse.
The cost of raising military horses is also not small, but military horses are hard currency among the nobility and can be sold to the nobility.
It's better than Terry running around with a bunch of money.
In the face of Ella's request, Xu Siling did not refuse, but he did not agree either.
Seeing this, Ella spoke again.
"I will do a lot of things, even if you don't treat me as a wife, I will try to do housework at home and not cause you trouble."
Xu Siling shook his head, sighed after thinking it through, and slowly got up from the bed.
"It's okay if you want to stay."
Without waiting for Ella to be happy, he continued.
"But there is one thing I have to say, first of all, let's not call ourselves husband and wife, I can't accept it now, and then don't worry about food, you are also a child of the executioner's family, you know that with my income, it will not be a problem for you to have enough to eat."
Ella also got up from the bed, her gray eyes a little serious, and promised.
"Don't worry, I'll make a lot of things! I invented many of the torture instruments in my family, and I make one or two these days, and you can take them to the nobles of Raya Town for entertainment. ”
Xu Siling realized after hearing this, he still wondered where Ella's masterclass production came from, it turned out to be here.
Executioners in the Middle Ages were obsessed with studying all kinds of torture tools and methods to punish and torture prisoners.
Watching the execution of prisoners was a kind of entertainment for people at that time, how to make commoners have fun and improve happiness, and the noble lords were very supportive of the executioner's development of new torture tools and methods to punish prisoners.
As long as the instruments and methods of torture are more bizarre, the more painful and ornamental the prisoner is punished, the more satisfied the noble lords will be, and the more rewards will be given.
The nobles of the territory with a special executioner are extremely face-saving, because this is also to tell other towns around that the happiness of the commoners in our town is very high, and there are special executioners who torture prisoners for the entertainment of the civilians.
Therefore, there is a reason why Johns has always disliked Xu Siling.
Xu Siling does not like to develop new torture tools and punishment methods, in his eyes, everything is based on beheading, and no punishment can compare to beheading.
As for the other torture tools, they were all left over from Xu Siling's adoptive father when he was still alive.
Now that his methods of torturing and killing prisoners come and go, the civilians of Raya Town are tired of seeing it, and Johns feels that the money he paid to Xu Siling has been in vain.
Raised an executioner who does not know how to study torture tools and punishment methods, who will he go to reason?
Seeing that Ella is so confident, Xu Siling naturally will not refuse, she is willing to do things for the family, which is a good thing.
Xu Siling hugged the rest of the clothes and came to the bench to prepare for sleep.
He still couldn't accept sleeping in a nest with a girl of that young age.
If Ella had treated him like an older brother, he would still have been able to accept sleeping in a nest.
But thinking that Ella treats herself as a husband, he doesn't dare to sleep with Ella.
He is a man, and he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.
Ella watched Xu Siling move to sleep on the bench, she wanted to speak and stopped, and then still didn't say anything.
Since Xu Siling couldn't fully accept her, she decided to build herself a small bed tomorrow, she couldn't wronged her husband to sleep on the bench every day, she couldn't accept it in her heart.
The sleepiness came up, and the two slowly fell asleep.
And Xu Siling fell into the dream of galloping horses again, and the object who accompanied him in the dream was a little blurry... Like Farina, like some girl.
