Chapter 42: Refusal

Walking into the carved wooden door, inside is a hall, elegantly furnished, all kinds of furniture, and a landscape screen.

In summer and autumn, Xue did not stop, and took Ma Chuan along the ancient wooden staircase to the second floor attic.

Xia Qiuxue opened the door of the attic and walked in directly, Ma Chuan also followed, just took a step, but forcibly stopped his steps.

The pink arrangement in the attic, the neat and soft embroidery bed, the dressing table with rouge and gouache in an orderly manner, and the bronze mirror all indicate that this is a boudoir.

"Miss Xia!" Ma Chuan was a little embarrassed.

"I forgot, I'll take Childe to the residence. Xia Qiuxue smiled.

Xia Qiuxue took Ma Chuan out of the boudoir, and after passing through a corridor, he arrived at the real residence.

"Childe, if you have any orders, you can come to me at any time. Xia Qiuxue glanced at Ma Chuan meaningfully, and then left.

Ma Chuan's face suddenly became hot, and his heart was pounded, and some desires and joyful people in his heart rushed to the Lingtai again. Fortunately, the transparent forces of a pawn on the spiritual platform were not slow to react, and firmly blocked the first wave of impact.

At the same time, Ma Chuan's mind moved, and the figure of Ni Lihua appeared in his mind, and there were some love and desire for the country's troops, blocking a part of the desire and joy of the country's troops that rushed to the Lingtai.

The reason why Ma Chuan is wholeheartedly devoted to Ni Lihua is a decision he made before he married Ni Lihua, which is equivalent to a solemn oath in front of the Seventh ** Team, he has experienced the helplessness of the troops on the Lingtai who left angrily, and he doesn't want to have a second time.

Of course, the most important thing is that during the years when Ma Chuan was a miscellaneous disciple, she depicted Ni Lihua's figure in her mind every day, and the soldiers of the Seventh ** Team deeply remembered her moving image, which made her prestige very high among the soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms.

As the saying goes, he thinks about Ni Lihua every day, Ni Lihua's position in his heart is becoming more and more important, and once he violates his heart, his mind will be unstable.

At this time, Ma Chuan sat down cross-legged, calmed down the restlessness in his heart, sank his mind, went to understand the Jade Tiger, and got the comprehension: if you want more, your heart will be scattered, and if your heart is scattered, your ambition will decline, and if your ambition is declining, you will not reach it. Therefore, if the heart is not strong, if you don't want to be strong, your will will not fade, and if your will is not declining, you will think about it...... The next day, Xia Qiuxue came to Ma Chuan again and said that he was invited to play.

Of course, Ma Chuan refused, and Xia Qiuxue took out the same set of rhetoric that let him stay.

Ma Chuan then followed Xia Qiuxue to the back door of the main rudder, where there was a water village with many boats parked below, including the luxurious painting boat.

The two of them got on the painting boat, went upstream, and looked at the characteristic scenery of the water towns on both sides of the strait all the way, which also had a unique flavor.

In between, the two were on the painting boat, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery. Xia Qiuxue asked some more in-depth topics, but Ma Chuan either avoided them or directly refused to answer, neither revealing the origin nor half-lying.

On such a day, Ma Chuan felt a little fluttering, but he was suppressed by him with the ninety-nine transparent forces on the spirit platform.

On the third day, it rained heavily, which is often seen here.

Ma Chuan got up and saw the rain curtain outside the window, and immediately understood that Xia Qiuxue would not come to him today. I was a little disappointed, but I quickly calmed down and happily practiced health tips in my room.

At noon, there was a knock on the door, and Ma Chuan opened the door to see that it was Xia Zhennan, followed by two maids carrying food boxes.

The two maids put down the food box, put out the wine and food, and left consciously.

Xia Zhennan asked Ma Chuan to sit down at the table, and he himself sat down.

"Ma Shaoxia, what are your plans for the little girl?" Xia Zhennan asked calmly.

"I can't delay Ling Qianjin. "Ma Chuan has already made a decision.

"Okay, tomorrow you will get the benefits you deserve, leave Linjiang Town!" Xia Zhennan looked for someone to check the origin of Ma Chuan, but he didn't believe in the statement that he fell from the sky at all, he could only say that he was a mystery. He didn't want to dig deeper, so he let Ma Chuan leave.

Ma Chuan stopped talking, which was considered to be a tacit acquiescence.

The sound of the rain did not stop until the evening, Ma Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the day passed peacefully, and he left here early tomorrow morning.

After the night completely fell, the two maids brought dinner again, and after Ma Chuan ate it, he began to sit cross-legged as usual.

I don't know how long later, the knock on the door sounded again, and Ma Chuan had to get up and open the door.

The rain was still falling non-stop, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the rumbling was incessant. There was a figure in a dark blue raincoat standing at the door, with a hat covering his eyes, but Ma Chuan still recognized it as Xia Qiuxue at a glance.

"Can I go in?" Xia Qiuxue raised her head and looked at Ma Chuan with a pair of autumn waves.

"Miss Xia, please come in!" Ma Chuan was polite, but it was not easy to refuse.

"Can I take this off?" Xia Qiuxue pointed to the raincoat that was dripping continuously.

"Hmm. Ma Chuan nodded, not understanding why Xia Qiuxue had become so reserved.

"Miss Xia, ...... you" Ma Chuan's face suddenly changed greatly, and he quickly turned his head. After Xia Qiuxue took off her raincoat, she was only wearing a translucent nightdress, and Miaoman's body loomed.

Even if there were ninety-nine transparent troops stationed on the Ma Chuan Spirit Platform, they almost couldn't resist the impact of desire and joy, and they were short of breath, and they quickly turned their heads.

At this moment, a dazzling white light streaked outside, followed by a thunderclap.

"Ah!" Xia Qiuxue exclaimed, and hurriedly went to hug Ma Chuan beside her.

Fortunately, the troops on Ma Chuan's spiritual platform had already resisted the impact of desire and Xiguo, and he turned to one side and let go.

Xia Qiuxue pounced in the air, seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Ma Chuan couldn't bear it, and hurriedly reached out to help him.

Xia Qiuxue took the opportunity to hug Ma Chuan's arm, and her body trembled.

Ma Chuan could feel the fear of Xia Qiuxue's chaos in the country, and she was constantly hitting the spiritual platform, which showed that this woman was really afraid in her heart, not as stiff as she had taken off her raincoat before.

"Miss Xia, if you have anything, you might as well say it bluntly. Within the scope of our ability, we will never shirk. Ma Chuan really didn't want to force this woman to let go, but the number of people who wanted to and Xiguo in his heart hit the Lingtai was increasing, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep the Lingtai clear, so he had to come up with such a way, hoping that this woman would let go.

"My dad came to you today, didn't he?" Xia Qiuxue's head leaned on Ma Chuan's arm.

Ma Chuan nodded, but in his heart he was trying to find a way to mobilize the troops of other vassal states to suppress the desire to attack the Lingtai and the strength of the Xiguo people.

"I went to him just now, and overheard him talking to Aunt Lan, and he was ready to be against you. Xia Qiuxue's voice trembled a little.

"Is Miss Xia here to tell me to escape?" Although Ma Chuan was not calm now, he was not afraid.

"I have a better idea. Xia Qiuxue buried her face in Ma Chuan's arm.

"Say it. Ma Chuan learned that Xia Zhennan was going to be unfavorable to him, and the country-fearing forces poured out, and he just used the country-fearing forces to suppress the desire and joy of the country's forces, and the ripples in his heart calmed down a lot.

"We ...... We put ...... Put raw rice ...... Cook into ...... Cooked rice, my father won't embarrass you anymore. Xia Qiuxue stammered, extremely conflicted.

"Miss Xia, it's getting late, please go back!" Ma Chuan suddenly withdrew his arm and took a few steps back, away from Xia Qiuxue.

"You don't eat toast, eat penalty wine!" Xia Qiuxue's face was flushed, she closed the door with her back back, and walked towards Ma Chuan step by step.

"Miss Xia, don't be like this, otherwise you're welcome. Ma Chuan saw Xia Qiuxue coming over, and the desire and joy in his heart were about to be chaotic again, so he had to warn.
