He lifted her up in his arms, her body in his arms trembling unconsciously. He paused and put her on the couch.
"Why?"
When he turned to leave, the girl huddled on the couch, her teeth chattering, stared at his back and asked.
He paused and didn't know how to answer.
Because she angered him with her little thoughts from time to time?
Or is it because she doesn't want to have children?
He didn't really want a child, but for some reason, when he said it casually, she got such a resistant attitude. He seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and he restrained himself to vent his anger on her.
He didn't answer and walked out.
Shen Yinxiao took a long breath of cold air, her limbs and bones were all cold. She huddled on the couch, folded her arms tightly, and couldn't restrain her trembling.
As soon as he walked out of the inner room, he heard the crisp sound of a cup falling to the ground behind him. He paused in his steps without looking back.
Dinner was brought together, and he didn't come to see her. He sat next to the koan and ate. She sat next to the kang table in the inner room and ate. As soon as she moved her chopsticks, she heard his voice giving orders.
Have someone move her meal across from him.
She walked out silently, without looking at him.
She sat down opposite him.
Pick up the chopsticks and put one bite after another into your mouth.
I ate a bite of green vegetables and a bite of rice. After finishing the rice, I picked up a piece of ribs.
One good thing about her is that no matter how uncomfortable she is, she never delays eating. She eats and drinks when she should, and never misses a bite.
He looked at her calmly, watching as she finished her bowl of rice and started to drink soup.
I just had a fight with him, and I was shaking with anger just now, but now I have a better appetite than him.
He also found it interesting to see her excited about eating.
He simply put down his bowls and chopsticks and started admiring them with great interest.
She ignored his scrutiny. After eating, she cleared away the dishes, put them aside, washed her hands, and prepared to go in to wash up and go to bed.
He snorted.
After dinner, Shen Yinxiao dragged her feet in weakly. The broken porcelain pieces on the ground were still lying quietly. She bent down and picked up the broken porcelain piece by piece, found a piece of cloth to wrap it up, and put it outside. In the bamboo basket, wait for the person who comes to clean up tomorrow to clean it out.
Chen Zhao came in at this time and happened to see her blank expression. Their eyes collided. She looked away coldly and turned around to go in.
If Shen Yinxiao had seen Wei Ning and the others in the past, she would have nodded gently or smiled. But today, she heard someone say that there was a quarrel in the tent at noon... She noticed that there was a Facing the gaze, he came back to his senses and began to report today's affairs.
"General, the scouts sent out have returned."
Wei Cheng said "Hmm" and said, "Tell them to come in."
The lights were brightly lit in the tent, and Shen Yinxiao was nestled in the quilt, listening to the footsteps coming in and out outside, staring blankly at the gray-brown tent roof with his eyes open.
You can't go on like this every day, or people will become useless.
It wasn't until midnight that the discussion gradually came to an end. Even though Chen Zhao drank a cup of strong strong tea, he felt a little sleepy. Seeing that Wei Cheng was still staring at the map in high spirits, he immediately cheered up.
Wei Cheng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly realized that Chen Zhao was still there, and raised his eyelids: "Go and rest."
"Yes." He turned around and took a few steps. Suddenly he remembered something and turned back.
"What's wrong?" Wei Cheng thought he still had something to say.
"General, it's getting late. It's time to rest. If you stay up any longer, your iron-clad body won't be able to bear it." Chen Zhao couldn't help but remind him.
It's already midnight.
Wei Cheng smiled. With his wife and children, he is indeed much better than Wei Ning and his mother-in-law. He yawned and twisted his neck, "I know, let's get down."
Chen Zhao nodded, and when he turned around, the jade pendant on his waist made a ding-dong sound when it touched the scabbard.
Wei Chengxun took a quick look. It was a human-shaped suet-fat jade pendant strung with black knots. The shape was a bit strange. He had never seen Chen Zhao carry it before. He asked casually: "The new jade pendant?"
"This?" Chen Zhao looked down and held up the jade pendant at his waist.
Wei Cheng nodded.
A rare gentle smile appeared on the usually square and serious face: "The Yansheng pendant my wife asked for for me in the temple a few days ago is a jade urn. The temple blessing said that this thing can ward off evil spirits and ensure peace. A woman's home People like to believe in these false things, but I have no choice but to take them with me before we go on the expedition."
Wei Cheng paused.
"General, what else can I do? I'm leaving without any subordinates."
"One more thing." He called Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao stopped, feeling that the general today was very talkative, so Chen Zhao listened quietly to his orders.
Wei Cheng listened carefully, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "How old is your wife?"
Chen Zhao's eyes widened and he was stunned, not knowing what he meant by asking this.
"I'm just asking." He said impatiently, "Don't think too much."
Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "My wife is... twenty-one years old this year."
Well, Shen Yinxiao is nineteen in real life and twenty in virtual age. It should be appropriate to have a child at this age.
He pondered for a while: "Were your wife happy when she was pregnant with the child?"
Chen Zhao was even more confused. He and his wife had been married for three years. They went to the temple every year to pray for a child, and finally got pregnant with a child. Naturally, he was happy. Of course, he didn't dare to say it directly, but he just said that he was very happy.
Wei Cheng said "Hmm" and nodded slowly. He caressed the patterns on the lacquered wood table with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered: "If a woman doesn't want to have a child with you, what might be the reason?"
Chen Zhao's heart was in his throat, and he finally understood what had happened to the general today. He couldn't help but let his eyes drift behind the screen, and then forcefully pulled them back. His voice was also lowered, and with a flash of inspiration, he said dryly: "Maybe it's Afraid of pain."
His eyes lit up: "Seriously?"
Chen Zhao nodded slowly and said with a guilty conscience: "It should be so. A woman who gives birth to a child is like going through hell. Having such a big piece of flesh fall off her body and bleeding half of it. My subordinates are looking at it. It's worse than being chopped by a knife in a war." It all hurts.”
Wei Cheng's originally tense expression suddenly softened a lot, and he nodded thoughtfully.
He waved his hand: "Go down and rest. You've worked hard these days."
"besides."
"Keep your mouth shut about what I'm asking you today."
Chen Zhao nodded solemnly: "I understand."
He turned around and left. After taking two steps, he turned back. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.
"What's wrong?" Wei Cheng was in a good mood and was about to get up, but saw him turn around and sit down again.
"General, my subordinate has a few words, which are a bit arrogant, but I still want to say them."
Wei Cheng nodded. Although he was often not amiable when it came to getting along with his own people, he was not a blind and stubborn person.
"you say."
"General, women are sensitive, and they will accept soft things rather than hard words. Sometimes the general has to coax him to be more compliant." He looked at Wei Cheng's expression and added: "When women feel that their men love them, they will be more considerate. some."
"For example? Buy a jade pendant?" He stared straight at the jade urn on Chen Zhao's waist.
Chen Zhao blushed.
Wei Cheng was dubious, but considering that he had a wife and a daughter, what he said should make some sense, so he still said "hmm".
After Chen Zhao left, Wei Cheng twisted his neck, stood up slowly, and walked slowly into the inner room.
When Chen Zhao was showing off that his wife had gone to the temple to beg him for something to keep him safe, he suddenly remembered that Shen Yinxiao had specially given the glazed bracelet to him when he left.
If you think about it carefully, there are actually some similarities.
In this way, Shen Yinxiao's heartless woman still has some conscience left.
I know I'm worried about him.
He touched the stubble on his chin, half of the anger from the day gone.
Just now Chen Zhao said that a woman has to go through the gate of hell to give birth, which is more painful than being injured. Shen Yinxiao's thin skin and tender flesh must also have a shadow on having children.
No wonder there was such a big reaction today.
He suddenly regretted it.
I guess I was so angry today that I misunderstood her meaning.
Thinking of this, my anger was half gone.
The light inside was still on, and there was a dim candle with a trembling flame.
