Chapter 140 Four Newcomers
After the meal, there was only soup left on the table. The three of them were a little hungry and ate the meal clean.
"Oh, I haven't eaten so much in my old age!" Princess Gaoyang smiled and patted her bulging belly regardless of her image and said, "You two are too bad. Why do you eat so deliciously? It makes me have a great appetite when I look at your food. My stomach is bloated, my stomach is bloated!"
"Men only need to be able to eat to have the strength to do things." Li Ke smiled maliciously and said, "Especially for men who have been in the army, they must like to eat big pieces of meat and drink in big bowls."
"Hey hey, although it's a simple diet, it's also unique. It's quite delicious!" Princess Gaoyang stood up and jumped a few times and hummed, "Ouch, my stomach is bloated! Qin, come with me for a walk in the woods?"
"This is exactly the meaning. Walk a hundred steps after dinner and live to ninety-nine. Qin Mubai got up. Princess Gaoyang smiled and naturally stepped forward and took his elbow: "Then let's go!"
Li Ke sat there and rolled his eyes, and snorted coldly twice to show his dissatisfaction.
"Oh... Third brother, third brother, why don't you come with me?" Princess Gaoyang blushed slightly and said hurriedly.
"No, I'm not going! There is no sincerity at all. I won't go!" Li Ke began to play tricks and pretended to be angry.
"Hey hey, if you don't go, you won't go!" Princess Gaoyang spit out her tongue at him and made a grimace. Then she turned her face and smiled proudly at Qin Mubai Waner, "The third brother won't go, so let's go?"
Qin Mubai looked at Li Ke and laughed a few times, so he had to go out with Princess Gaoyang.
Li Ke looked at the backs of the two people and turned his eyes repeatedly: "These two people are really good! ...That's all! What's the matter with me? I'd better sleep honestly. I'm too lazy to disturb the little man and woman. When I get back to Chang'an, there will be countless beautiful women to serve me!"
On the night of late autumn and early winter, there is a little cold in the woods. The west wind blew, and the fallen leaves flew in the forest, which was a dilapidated situation.
The ancients were sad in autumn. When they saw the fallen leaves drifting, they felt that the years were unforgiving. Whenever such a season and scene, it can also most arouse people's thoughts and emotions, and become keen and emotional.
For men and women in love, such a scene is a good place to create an atmosphere, which is easy to make people emotional.
Princess Gaoyang was wearing a light blue mink jacket, but a pair of small hands were cold, so she held Qin Mubai's elbow and refused to relax, and also intended to keep warm up against his waist. Even so, the little face turned a little red with cold, and it turned red like a ripe apple, adding a trace of beauty and charm.
"Hey hey, it's so quiet in the woods!" Both of them walked in silence. Princess Gaoyang had nothing to say and opened the chatter.
"Are you cold?" Qin Mubai asked.
"It's okay. It's not cold." With that, Princess Gaoyang pressed her body a little tighter, but her nose inadvertently shrugged. It turned out that her nose was so cold that she was about to run a runny nose.
"It's still stubborn." Qin Mubai took off his general's cloak with a smile and tied it to her and said, "Don't underestimate this cloak. It can be much warmer."
"Wow, it's so big! It went straight from my shoulder to my heel!" Princess Gaoyang giggled, her hands pulled the cloak a little tighter, and a satisfied smile rang on her face, "It's so warm! ...But you can do it yourself. Aren't you afraid of the cold?"
"Don't be afraid. I'm just helping my son practice martial arts on a snowy day. I'm done. Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Hey hey!" Princess Gaoyang sneered beautifully and secretly moved her cloak to her nose to smell it. Her face suddenly turned red, and her heart bumped like a deer. She said to her heart: This is his smell!
Qin Mubai took her small actions in his eyes and almost laughed and thought to himself: I didn't expect that an lawless little devil would become a nymphomaniac... No wonder everyone said that women are emotional animals. Whenever she encounters feelings, what kind of woman will reflect her woman's true nature.
"Hey, tell me, what's the fun thing about you've been in Jiangzhou for so long?" Princess Gaoyang asked with interest.
"There are really no funny things. It's true that I'm tired." Qin Mubai said, "It's not fun to be in the barracks or on the embankment all day long. It's not fun to go back and forth with the familiar faces of those generals. If it's fun, Chang'an is the most wonderful.
"No, I don't like Chang'an!" Princess Gaoyang said, "Everyone says that Chang'an is good. The city is magnificent and magnificent. There is the largest market in the world, and there are many song and dance buildings, Xiejiushi Yingyuan, which is nothing more than the wealth and glory of greed. In fact, Chang'an is boring. What if there are many people? What if there are many carriages? If there are too many, it will hinder the road. It's so noisy. Everyone is busy all day long and refuses to stop and rest for half a minute. What's the point of even if the family is rich? I only know that there is no time to enjoy business, and I don't know what I'm tossing around. What I don't like most is that those drunken men are mostly drunk and stinky men. It is clear that they are prodigal children who squander their prodigal, but they are arrogant and talented.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Why do you hate Chang'an so much?"
"I don't hate Chang'an... Anyway, as soon as I arrive in Chang'an, I feel stuffy and aggrieved. My heart is like a big stone, and I can't relax." Princess Gaoyang frowned, curled her lips and said, "There is no need to say in the palace. No matter how you raise your feet and wave your hand, you can't break the rules. Otherwise, you will lose the royal prestige. Either your father scold or your mother will scold you. Even if I go out of the palace, those old ministers and young ministers will stare at me, as if I will immediately do bad things and lose the face of the royal family. I'm exhausted! I think it's good here in Jiangzhou. How quiet it is! And no one here knows me. People won't treat me as a princess. I'm so relaxed! In fact, as soon as I leave Chang'an, I will throw all my troubles out of the sky. I'm so happy!"
"You are quite easy to be satisfied and happy." Qin Mubai smiled and said, but he thought to himself: Princess Gaoyang is a little adolescent rebellion. She grew up in the palace and enjoyed all the glory and wealth. She was used to being superior, so she would no longer be interested in these things that everyone is looking forward to. On the contrary, she felt the bondage and depression, and she instinctively wanted to break free from this shackle. Over the years, her emotions have slowly accumulated, and finally broke out in this emperor's marriage event.
And I, Qin Mubai, are just a lead... Without me, maybe she would fight against each other like this!
This little girl is full of rebellion and stubbornness in her bones. She is not convinced. She is really a little strong and persistent to fight against fate.
"If you exchange your princess status for civilian life in a place like Jiangzhou, you are not willing to." Qin Mubai said jokingly, "The life of civilians is very hard. If you want to farm, you have to plant mulberry. If you want to get up early and come back late, you will be busy for a year. It is rare to see a little meaty food on the dinner table. You are dressed in coarse cloth and rotten clothes. Sometimes you don't have money to treat it when you are sick. If you are bullied, you can only swallow it. This is not what you, a princess, can imagine.
"You don't look down on people! Let me tell you, if I can really change it, I will do it a hundred times!" Princess Gaoyang frowned and stared at Qin Mubai with a little angrily. She opened her mouth and said angrily, "Who wants to be a princess? What's good about being a princess? I was bound by countless people all day long, and I didn't have a moment of my own leisure. I felt like I was locked in a very small dark room, but I was bored! Moreover, the princess has to be rewarded to go out to marry like an object. No matter how much men she doesn't like, they have to marry, and some have to marry barbarian countries thousands of miles away... I heard what you said, right? Those barbarians have not yet been enlightened. They don't understand etiquette and shamelessness. It's common for brothers and father and son to share a wife! How tragic! If I can choose, I really don't want to be a princess, and it's not bad to be an ordinary woman. Rely on your own hands to work, in exchange for food and clothing, you can marry the man you like, have children and grow old together... What a wonderful thing!"
After listening to this, Qin Mubai was quiet for a long time and smiled and joked, "You really don't know how to be rich when you are rich. People's hearts will never be satisfied. I don't know how many women in the world dream of becoming princesses or marrying a good man from a big family in the hope of living a good life.
"This is called vulgarity! Don't compare me with such a stupid woman!" Princess Gaoyang curled her lips disdainfully and said, "In the future, as long as it is the man I like, even if he is a wine seller and a pig butcher, I will marry him, and even if he is a cripple, I will die with him for the rest of my life. No matter how poor it is, as long as I like it, I will follow him! The kind of stupid women who tend to be attracted to the dragon and the phoenix, I really don't know whether they are getting married, or marrying a bunch of cold yellow and white things, or those hot beef and mutton. It's just a bad thing to abuse themselves!"
"Haha, you are really a newcomer!" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.
"What do you mean?" Princess Gaoyang was puzzled.
"Ideal, insight, courage and personality!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Your ideas are more unique and novel than the vast majority of women in the Tang Dynasty. There are four newcomers!"
"Damn it, make fun of me!" Princess Gaoyang was amused. She smiled and pinched Qin Mubai's elbow a few times, and muttered with a smile, "Don't believe it. What I'm saying is true!" In fact, I really don't want to be a princess. I'm tired. My greatest wish is to become an ordinary little woman one day... I'm not greedy for the so-called glory and wealth at all, but I don't want to part with my father and mother. Do you think I'm contradictory?
"A little bit." Qin Mubai nodded, smiled and said comfortedly, "There are nine out of ten things that are not satisfactory in life. This is nothing to you. At this moment, you think about those who are worse than you. For example, in this flood disaster, many people have been displaced and lost their homes, and some people have unfortunately lost their lives or loved ones. Compared with the two, your little trouble is really nothing. Thinking about it this way, my heart will suddenly be enlightened. If you have a good mood first, any trouble is no longer a big deal, and you can always find a way to solve it smoothly.
"Hey hey, you are really good at talking. This has come to my heart." Princess Gaoyang snickered contentedly and muttered, "It's better to be with you. It's easy to be happy... You know, I haven't laughed much in the past two or three months. My whole body is like being soaked in bitter water, and I don't want to live..."
