Chapter 24 Talk
The final result is the latter.
Xu Yourong looked up at Chen Changsheng and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
"?, Eat." In the past two years, Chen Changsheng has spoken a lot more because of the influence of Tang Sanshiliu, but in front of her, he seemed to have become the honest young Taoist priest in Xining Town. He spoke extremely simple, his mind was particularly pure, and he could not hide his emotions at all.
For example, he was a little confused at this time, so when he was holding the chopsticks, he almost didn't hold them firmly. He reached out to catch the chopsticks in the air, but pushed the opened yellow paper umbrella aside. So, the continued quarrel in the kang table in front reached their ears again.
"Last spring, Dean Chen first entered Kyoto and was humiliated in the God General's Mansion. He was suppressed afterwards. He was extremely talented and had excellent application results, but he was forcibly taken from the admission list of various colleges. If it weren't for the secret protection of His Majesty the Pope, I'm afraid that even the already ruined National Education College would not be able to enter. You all say that he was ruthless in the termination of the engagement, but have you ever thought that if the Xu family had not done too shamelessly, how could this marriage become like this now?"
"What does this have to do with Miss Yourong? At the Qingteng Banquet, Bai He returned north. In that letter, she had already admitted the engagement. Otherwise, how could the Southern Mission be left speechless just by holding the wedding letter? Even if Chen Changsheng holds a grudge against the God General's Mansion, there is no reason to let Miss Yourong be humiliated!"
"Hmph, Xu Shiji refused to admit this marriage at the beginning. The people of Dongyu Shen General's Mansion despise the poor and love the rich. As a result, President Xiao Chen is different from the past and turns around and wants to hug his thighs. It's so shameless! Do you think President Xiao Chen breaks off the engagement is a humiliation? In my opinion, this is just a humiliation for Dongyu Shen General's Mansion to humiliate himself!"
"But this matter has nothing to do with the Saint, why should she bear these rumors?"
"I can only say that the saint was unfortunate. She was born in such a mansion and met such parents!"
...
...
The kang table in the corner became very quiet, and the gravy in the iron pot was rumbling.
Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong sat on both sides of the kang table, and the atmosphere became a little heavy again.
It has been almost two years since he arrived in Kyoto, and the engagement had already spread throughout the continent. The humiliation and suppression that the Dongyu God General's Mansion once gave him, and later his attitude changed. He transformed from a young Taoist priest in the countryside to the heir of the state religion. These are the topics of conversation that everyone talked about.
The battle at Naihe Bridge this morning seemed to be the final ending or judgment of this story, but it did not really end everything. Instead, it pushed people's interest in this story to the peak. I believe that just like the diners at that table, I believe that this matter must be discussed at the family banquets of countless residences and houses in Kyoto at this time.
He has never forgotten the humiliation that the God General's Mansion once gave. He has also developed many emotions towards her who is far away in the south. But as the guest said before, she has not really hurt him in this matter, but now she needs to bear the ridicule and blame that the God General's Mansion has received.
This may be a bit unfair.
Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say.
"After all, it's my parents."
Xu Yourong's expression was very calm, as if he was not affected by those discussions, but the following words turned very suddenly.
"I want to have some wine."
"good."
Chen Changsheng asked the boss to take two small cans of the best wine, dismantle the mud seal of one of the cans, and pour the wine bowl for her for seven minutes.
Xu Yourong thanked him softly, took another can of wine and opened it, filled the wine bowl for him, and then looked at him: "Tell me."
Chen Changsheng still didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he looked at her beautiful face and hesitated: "Face?"
"A certain exercise in Nanxizhai."
"oh."
After two simple conversations, the kang table was quiet again.
Xu Yourong picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of the wine. In just a small sip, his face turned slightly red.
"Don't tell anyone, we've seen it in Zhouyuan."
"Why?"
After hearing her request on the Naihe Bridge, Chen Changsheng did not understand it. He confirmed that she really didn't want others to know about the whole thing, which made him even more puzzled.
Xu Yourong did not directly answer his question and whispered: "Hasn't the engagement been terminated?"
This is a rumor that has been circulating in Kyoto for a long time, and it has never been accepted by the National Education Academy and the Higashijiji General Mansion. However, as the party involved in the engagement, she naturally knew that rumors were not rumors, but certain that something had happened.
Chen Changsheng didn't speak for a long time.
When the snow breeze on the bridge blew down the white veil, seeing her eyes was the most pleasant moment in his sixteen years. It would be happier than memorizing the last volume of Taoist scriptures in the old temple, finding the fate star in the National Education College, winning the first place in the Great Court Examination, and finding the notes of Wang Zhice in the Lingyan Pavilion...
It turns out that she is still alive, she is her, she is her fiancée. Is there anything more bizarre than this in the world?
While bathing in the small building of the National Education College, he had already decided to go to the palace to ask His Majesty the Pope to repair the marriage letter again. Then, he would take Tang Sanshiliu and others to the palace to find her directly. If she agreed, he would propose marriage to her directly.
He has never experienced love, but as long as he is sure that something is what he wants to do, he will do it very seriously and focus on it and seize the day.
At this moment, she said that this matter cannot be told to others, so how could he convince His Majesty the Pope to take back the order to dismiss the marriage letter?
A month ago, he worked very hard to finally terminate the engagement.
Now, he found that he needed this engagement very much.
Tang Sanshiliu is right.
"I thought you were dead. I promised you in Zhouyuan that I would terminate this engagement, so..."
He looked at Xu Yourong and said helplessly: "Since you know it's me, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xu Yourong looked slightly cold and said, "In Zhouyuan, you lied to me. I discovered the truth by myself. Then why should I tell you?"
Chen Changsheng felt innocent and asked, "When did I lie to you?"
"Is your name Xu Sheng?"
"You are not the first girl."
"Why don't you admit that you are Chen Changsheng?"
"Why didn't you say you were Xu Yourong at that time?"
They looked at each other's eyes and asked the question almost in unison.
Then they remembered that when they first reported their names in the snow temple next to Baicao Road, they also heard two fake names in unison...
I don't know what they thought at that time.
Chen Changsheng recalled his feelings at that time and did not want the other party to know his identity. The main reason was that he did not want the other party to know that he had a famous fiancée. Or did Xu Yourong think so at that time, and didn't want to let himself know that she had a well-known fiancé?
"Is it embarrassing to have a fiancé like me?"
He looked at Xu Yourong and asked, a little serious, a little sour and sad.
