The next day, Luocheng came to pick up Shen Ruolan early, because there was no need to pick up things, and he went directly to the village after getting on the bus, so it saved time. When Shen Ruolan arrived, it was still early, and Master Qi seemed to have just arrived. Not long after I woke up, I was having breakfast.
Thinking of yesterday when she lost her composure and got drunk, Lord Qi not only didn't throw her out, but also sent someone to take care of her. Shen Ruolan was very grateful, and after meeting her, she hurried forward to express her thanks.
"Master Qi, the little girl got drunk and lost her mind yesterday. Thank you Master Qi for not blaming me and sending someone to take good care of her. The little girl is very grateful."
Chunyuzhen took the spoon and ate the purple rice porridge in the bowl unhurriedly. He had nothing to say about his gratitude to her, but suddenly said: "What do you mean by several women grabbing a cucumber?"
Although this sentence was considered by him yesterday as her drunken nonsense, before going to bed last night, he suddenly thought of another meaning, but that meaning was too difficult to be refined, and it was also too difficult to express. , so today he specifically asked her to see how she explained it.
If the damn thing really said that unspeakable meaning, he would strangle her right now and bury her right there!
Shen Ruolan was startled, unable to think why he asked this, she said stupidly: "What?"
Chun Yuxuan repeated it and said, "Say, you don't want to grab a cucumber from so many women. This is what you said to your master before you passed out yesterday. I want to ask you what you mean by this sentence?"
Shen Ruolan's heart skipped a few times, did she really say such dirty words? Think about it carefully, don’t you remember? However, she can be sure that she must have said these words, otherwise he, an old man who is restricted by feudal ethics, would not be able to say such trendy words!
After thinking about it, she said solemnly: "Probably drunk and talking nonsense, please don't take offense, Mr. Qi."
"real?"
Chun Yuxuan stopped scooping up the porridge in his hands, and looked at her with deep eyes, trying to see if what she said was true or not.
Shen Ruolan calmly raised her eyes, faced his scrutiny, and kept saying silently in her heart, "I have a gun, I am invincible in the world, and I am not afraid of anything..."
Seeing her being so open-minded and upright, Chun Yuxuan indifferently withdrew his eyes.
Maybe she was thinking too much, she is Yunying's unmarried daughter, how could she think of that meaning
Seeing that he wasn't pursuing it, Shen Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. It's so dangerous. If he knew the profound meaning of her words, she might be branded lewd and shameless, and might be thrown out right away. .
But why did she say that yesterday? Logically, she shouldn't have mentioned such a topic with him, right? Or what did he say? What caused her topic
Just thinking about it hard, the man at the desk lazily said: "My lord went to see King Zhan yesterday."
"What?"
Shen Ruolan was at a loss.
It's none of her business that he went to see King Zhan, why did he tell her
Chunyu Jue glanced at her, and said calmly, "My Lord has already told him about your admiration for him. King Zhan heard that you are quite capable, and has agreed to marry you!"
Hearing this, Shen Ruolan's face changed color in vain, she stared and said: "Master Qi, you...are you not kidding me? I just respect him and admire him. When did you admire him? How could you do this?"
Seeing how excited she was, Chunyu put down the spoon in his hand, looked at her with deep eyes, and said, "Since you respect him and admire him, what's wrong with marrying him? Marry someone you respect and admire, Is it better than marrying a man from the mountains? Or, do you think the status of King Zhan is not worthy of you?"
Shen Ruolan said: "It's not a question of matching or not, but a question of whether or not it's suitable. Think about it, King Zhan is a nobleman of the royal family, how could he marry a country girl like me? Even if he is willing to marry me, You must marry me as a concubine, I don't want to be a concubine for others!"
Chunyuyu's expression changed, he was a little cold and arrogant, and then he said a little angrily: "Even if it's King Zhan's concubine, it's not something anyone can do if they want to. How many official women and daughters of famous families have squeezed their heads out?" Even if you want to occupy a place in King Zhan's backyard, you can't do it, so don't be ignorant of good and bad."
Shen Ruolan said, "Then just pretend that I don't know what's good and what's wrong. Anyway, I don't want to be a concubine in his backyard, let alone a concubine, even if I'm asked to be Princess Zhan, I'm not willing."
Chunyu Yu was shocked again, and looked at her with a complicated expression: "Why don't you want to?"
"Because of his status, he definitely can't marry me alone. At that time, there must be a large group of concubines in the backyard. This is not the marriage I want. I can live a poor and simple life, but my future My husband can only marry me alone, there must be no third party in our marriage." Shen Ruolan said firmly.
At this moment, Chunyu Yu was completely stunned, "What are you thinking? How can a man marry only one woman? Among the people I know, I have never seen anyone who only married one woman and did not marry a concubine. There are one or two concubines, unless a poor man who cannot afford a wife will only marry one wife in his life."
He never thought it was wrong for a man to take a concubine. In his opinion, it was a matter of course for a man to take a concubine. This has been the norm for thousands of years. The male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside, and women rely on men. Of course, a man can marry whatever he wants, that's the rule passed down from his ancestors...
Therefore, when he heard her words, he was not only shocked, but also felt that she was taboo and unreasonable.
Shen Ruolan said, "That's why I got engaged to a poor man! I would rather live an ordinary life in the countryside and be monogamous until I grow old, rather than marry into a royal mansion and share it with so many women." Even if a husband asks me to be the concubine, I don't want to!"
"You are very rebellious!" Chunyu Jue glanced at her with a cold tone.
Shen Ruolan said: "Whether you say I'm rebellious or disobedient, I admit it. I don't want to wrong myself for the sake of a virtuous reputation. I will never share my husband and menstrual belt with her!"
These words are powerful and resounding, with unchangeable firmness and determination.
On the other side, there was silence for a while before they heard a voice.
"When a man is born, sometimes he has a lot of helplessness. Perhaps, the man who wants to marry you doesn't want to have wives and concubines in groups, but he has to do so because of helplessness. As long as he has you in his heart, he can put you first in everything. Concubine, what does it matter how many women he has?"
Shen Ruolan sneered, "Of course it has something to do with it. If you are a concubine, you have to live under others and watch your wife's face. You don't even have a wedding or a wedding dress. You are carried in a shabby pink sedan chair. In the future, you will have to work hard to conceive and give birth The next child has to be called someone else's mother, and the status of the children is still a concubine and a concubine, and they will always be inferior. If, as you said, that hypothetical husband has me in his heart, how can he let me live like this? If he can bear the heart Let me be wronged like this, how can he say that he has me in his heart? Since he doesn't have me in his heart, and let me be wronged like this, why should I marry him? "
"So, I would like to ask Master Qi to work hard again and explain to King Zhan that I just respect him, admire him, and have no other thoughts about him. Also, I am already engaged, and it is impossible for my husband to remarry. "
"That's what you said, it's best not to regret it!"
Chun Yuxuan gave her a cold look, and walked away, his face was as cold as ice for three or nine days.
I can see that I am very angry!
Shen Ruolan also knew that he was angry, angry that she didn't know good and bad, and didn't know how to flatter her, but she couldn't be blamed, could she? Who asked him to be a matchmaker for what he owed? Maybe he had good intentions and wanted to fulfill his admiration for King Zhan, but he really misunderstood his thoughts about King Zhan, the conscience of heaven and earth, she really didn't have any intention of coveting King Zhan at all~
Quietly followed into the study room, Uncle Qi was already sitting there, but his expression was strange, as if someone owed him 800 hangs, Shen Ruolan didn't dare to say much when the air pressure was so low, picked up the pen, and quietly start drawing.
For almost the whole morning, the two of them didn't talk anymore, one was concentrating on painting, the other was concentrating on getting angry.
No one was distracted by talking to herself, Shen Ruolan's painting was exceptionally smooth, painting, posing, frustrating, sweeping, all kinds of painting methods took turns, and by noon, more than half of the painting was completed.
It was time to eat, and she had to prepare lunch, so she reported to Uncle Qi.
This morning, Uncle Qi's face was as dark as ink, and she didn't dare to speak all morning, and now she finally had a valid reason to speak.
"Master Qi, I'm going to prepare lunch for you," she said.
Unexpectedly, Chun Yuzhen, who had been silent all morning, suddenly said: "If you marry a mountain man, you will have to be like this for the rest of your life, washing hands and making soup for people every day."
Shen Ruolan rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that he had already forgotten this, but she did not expect to remember it, what a narrow-minded person!
She smiled slightly and said: "It's not bad to wash your hands and make soup. I really like to cook for my family. Think about it, cook for my family with my own hands, and then the whole family sits together , talking and laughing while eating home-cooked meals, how sweet it is, it’s better than sitting alone in a big empty room, eating delicacies from mountains and seas in front of the cold wind and moon!”
He raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, his tone was cold and slightly mocking, "You can be sure that your mountain man will treat you well all his life, and he treats you well now, and promised to marry you only for his whole life, but because he is now You don't have the ability to take concubines yet, if one day he gets rich, maybe the first thing he will do is to take a concubine back? At that time, how will you deal with yourself?"
Shen Ruolan took a breath: "Master Qi, your analogy is really unpleasant, but if there is such a day in the future, I might as well tell you that I will not compromise, I will make peace with her, and will never accommodate , even if I was already pale and faltering at that time, I would resolutely leave him and never compromise."
"Shen Ruolan!"
Chunyu was furious, and slapped the book in his hand to the ground.
This was the first time he called her by her name, but he called out angrily, "You are such a rebellious, stubborn, immoral, stubborn woman!"
Shen Ruolan was taken aback by his appearance, seeing him counting her several serious crimes in a row, thinking that he was going to punish herself, her heart skipped a few times, and she stayed for a long while, seeing that he had no next move, she was relieved.
Blessing Fushen, he said: "What Master Qi said is that I am a stubborn, stubborn woman. People like me are really not suitable to marry into a rich family. It is more suitable to marry a mountain man. "
After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and walked out quickly.
"Disobedience, presumptuousness!"
Looking at the back of Dao Fei who fled away, Chun Yuzhen was so angry that he kicked the desk in front of him away, and felt that his internal organs were hurting. I really don't know how he fell in love with such a jealous woman. , rebellious, bold, and made such unreasonable demands, it is simply unreasonable!
**
Shen Ruolan didn't know that she had lost that popularity, she was still busy with the food she was going to make today, what she was going to make today was also a famous modern junk food - Malatang!
Before, she picked out some peppercorns from the leftover packing box in the space, and earned her first pot of gold in the county with those peppercorns. After that, she kept those peppercorns in the space and kept them for a long time. I haven't moved yet, and today I just use it to promise that this is my uncle.
This old man made her very angry today, she had to make a good meal to appease him, and serve his stomach well, maybe his anger would disappear!
Washing vegetables, soaking fungus, cutting thin slices of meat, and making a few fish balls and shrimp balls, put more than a dozen dishes in the pot together, and scalded a small pot of steaming, fragrant Mala Tang, far away You can smell that aroma.
She carefully brought up the pot of Malatang, hoping that the old man would calm down after eating the delicious food.
However
Uncle Qi was not there, Luo Cheng told her blankly that the master had gone out and let her do what she wanted.
Without thinking about it, Shen Ruolan knew that the old man was angry with her and ran away without leaving a word, and didn't say that he would not come back after a while, should she wait...
Shen Ruolan was speechless. In this situation, should she wait for him or not
After much deliberation, he finally decided to wait. If he came back and saw her gone, he would be angry, would he still be able to send Nie Heng to treat her mother
After making up her mind, Shen Ruolan stayed in his study.
She stayed for an entire afternoon, and the empty study room was quiet. Shen Ruolan waited eagerly for that person, and suddenly thought of the proposal that person gave her. I have to live this kind of life of waiting for someone every day...
We waited until the sun turned west, but the old man didn't come back.
Shen Ruolan knew that she didn't plan to come back, so she went to find Nanny Bai, hoping that she could arrange a car for her to take her back.
However, the white nanny who thought that being able to serve her was a blessing in her previous life yesterday said very coldly today: "I'm sorry, girl, our master didn't say that we would send you back. Dare to be good at it!"
In other words, there was no car to take her back.
Shen Ruolan was dumbfounded, she wanted to cry, she was about 20 miles away from Jizhou, and it was getting dark again, if she was asked to walk back alone, she couldn't find the way
Every time she goes back and forth, she sits in the carriage. She is afraid of the cold and doesn't lift the curtain to look outside. She doesn't know the way, so how can she go back
Shen Ruolan said: "Mother Bai, I think Master Qi must have forgotten to tell you, he will not disagree with sending me back, you see—"
"I'm sorry girl, we servants only obey the master's orders, and we can't try to guess the master's mind at will!"
Nanny Bai rejected him politely and coldly, she rejected him cleanly and without delay.
Shen Ruolan went to look for Luo Cheng again, but Luo Cheng had disappeared for a long time. Seeing that it was getting dark, Shen Ruolan felt that if she didn't leave, she might spend the night in the wild. She ran away quickly while there was still the last ray of light. go out.
With what little memory she had, she ran all the way, out of breath.
However, no matter how hard she ran, she still couldn't run the time. The sun had completely set, and the earth was shrouded in darkness. Shen Ruolan was not afraid of the dark, but she was just worried that she couldn't go back quickly, afraid that her father and mother would worry she.
Especially mother, mother's health is not good, don't be in a hurry, if she falls ill because of her anxiety, wouldn't she become a sinner
Because she was in a hurry, she ran very hard. She stopped and stopped. When she ran for five or six miles, one of them didn't pay attention and sprained her ankle with a click. Did not get up.
It's really a rainy day!
Shen Ruolan rubbed her rapidly swollen ankle, feeling like crying.
It seemed that tonight she really could only stay in the wilderness for one night, not to mention that she couldn't walk, even if she could, the city gate would be closed when she got back.
This is too bad, if she doesn't go back all night, mother will die in a hurry, what should I do
Shen Ruolan stood up and limped forward. Every step she took, her ankle felt like a needle prick, and it hurt her heart.
