Chapter 6 Women's Hero 5
On this day, I have been busy dealing with various military affairs in the military palace and the barracks. It was nearly two days when I returned home after patrolling the city.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, my own soldiers quickly greeted me and told me that someone was waiting in the room.
The reply was not received, but the owner of the letter came.
My cat lowered its waist and entered the room from under the bamboo curtain made by its own soldiers. I saw Amaranth standing in front of the chair and looking at me with a smile. Today, she is wearing a light green dress, her hair is combed into a row of tassels behind her head, with a petite bun on her head and a silver shake under her bun. He seems to be generous and virtuous.
"General, thank you for your hard work." Amaranth said softly, and then Yingying bowed down.
I returned the gift in a hurry. Ask her to sit in the chair and then ask her soldiers for tea.
"What do you want to learn from here?" I know that this sentence is completely nonsense.
Amaranth smiled and didn't answer, waiting for her own soldiers to serve tea and open the curtain before she opened her mouth to talk about my letter.
Actually, there is nothing to say about my letter. She just used this letter to get to the point.
It took half an hour to introduce the foreshadowing of the topic, but even with such a foreshadowing, even if I had already guessed what the topic was, when she said the topic, I was still surprised by her initiative, directness and calmness.
"The general's letter is really modest. In his view, the general is the true hero of today. The person I admire is a man like a general. If I don't give up, I would like to hold a broom for the general. After saying that, he got up and bowed.
I quickly got up and said, "I, Liu Yu, am a layman, and I dare not be called a 'hero'. I'm afraid the girl misread it. I dare not hide that I admire the girl's knowledge, character and appearance in my heart, and I have long been admiring her. However, I already have a family in Beijing.
"I know that the general has a family, and I don't want to enter your house. If I can enter your house to serve the general and wife, it will be my great blessing; if I can't enter your house, I will have no hatred. It's just that Amaranth respects the general. Even if he can't stay together all day long, it is my honor to be able to take care of the general's life, or concubine or servant when the general is away from home and his wife is inconvenient to follow him. I only hope that the general can accept it.
"How does this make it?"
I'm afraid the general has a misunderstanding. I came from Qulou, and I have a manly temperament since I was urinating. If you talk, laugh and play with a man, one is his temperament, and the other is Qulou's hospitality. Occasionally, there is a name of rudeness, but there is no fact of rudeness, and a skin blind date is even more unusual. Although Bingqing Yujie dares not call it, but amaranth is a clean body.
After listening to Amaranth's words, I quickly said, "I didn't mean it."
"I know that the general doesn't mean this, but I act differently from ordinary women, and it comes from Qulou. Although the general admires me, he must have many concerns. Naturally, I know this. Today, I came to meet the general with sincerity. As I said, I have no other extravagant expectations. Whether it's a concubine or a servant, I would like to follow the general. I just hope the general will think more."
"This..." Such a woman who is admired by many men takes the initiative to express her love, and any man will be moved by it, of course, I am no exception. I have a lot to say to Amaranth, but I'm speechless. I can't be as direct as her, and I can't be as calm as her. I just felt that those words were accumulated in my throat, which made me feel like crying without tears.
Of course I didn't shed tears, but she shed tears.
Watching the crystal tears slowly roll down her cheeks, first one by one, followed by a string. I felt at a loss.
What I fear most in my life is women's tears. Whenever my mother and wife burst into tears, I am always helpless. They seem helpless, but I look more helpless. Not only these women, but also when my underage daughter grinned and made a crying posture, I was so afraid that I wanted to leave.
She shed tears for a while, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, looked up and smiled at me and said, "The general doesn't have to accept it at this time. Let's think about it."
After saying that, get up and say goodbye.
I had no other way to get up and see her out of the house. I asked my soldiers to hire a car from across the street and sent two soldiers to follow the car and take her back.
My relationship with Amaranth is very complicated.
On the one hand, I think there is an unspeakable tacit understanding with her. This tacit understanding is different from the tacit understanding between me and my wife Zang Aiqin. For the wife, in addition to love, there is more respect; for amaranth, it is a pure admiration, a kind of love that puts aside all the fetters in the world, all the honors and disgrace in the world, and comes from the depths of the heart.
On the other hand, I feel that I may just be infatuated with her. Such an enchanting woman not only moved me, but also touched all the men who had seen her. The reason why I have a wrong idea about her is that the person she favors is exactly me. If she favors others, then maybe I will just admire her after admiring her appearance and posture. I won't be so forgetful, and I won't be so worried.
This kind of love comes not only from love, but also from being loved. Between love and being loved, people can't help but lose their way and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
In addition, the identity of amaranth is different from ordinary people. Although she came from the general's family and was a lady, she was lost in the world after all. I believe in her character and what she said about ice and jade. From a poor family, I don't value family status and identity, but it's not easy to persuade my mother and wife to introduce her into the family. I want to think of Naji's concubine. There are many good daughters in Jingkou. Why must she be this foreign woman with an abnormal status? Moreover, even if it's really like what Amaranth said, she did a sweeping job when I went out. What did that become? Although it doesn't matter to me, isn't it delaying a good daughter's family?
Amaranth has already known that I have a family and a daughter. It may not be a big deal for her who doesn't mind. After all, there are many people like me who live in this position and have three wives and four concubines. But now, in love, I have the love of my wife Zang; in reason, with military affairs, how can I miss my children's affairs?
It's a pity that a beautiful woman can't kiss her. This is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing in my life. If you are an ordinary person, whether you accept amaranth or not, it is a blessing, joy and pride to have a beautiful invitation, but I am on the contrary, and I am worried, depressed and uneasy about it.
I have been extremely careless for several days. Fortunately, the official business was not delayed, and the military affairs of the transfer of troops to the south were still well arranged.
One night, I took out the little "sloppy" made by my daughter under the lamp and rubbed it in my hand while watching. When I think of my wife and daughter, I can't help but feel strongly homesick. A long time after the lamp oil burned out, I got up and walked to the courtyard and looked up at the stars in the sky. How those stars are like the Pengcheng lights I saw when I wandered in the "Immortal Pavilion" that day. After thinking about the starry sky for a long time, I finally made a decision--
Leave the amaranth!
