Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 135 I Like Master Cao

Xin Yi believes that there must be a law of love in time travel, but she never thought that love would come so unexpectedly, and she didn't even give her any preparations.

Her face was hot and flustered. Facing Mr. Cao who was also red-faced, the two of them were at a loss when they looked at each other.

Xin Yi has a good impression of Cao Yi.She really couldn't find a reason to refuse such an excellent man, but in her heart, she felt that this matter was very strange.

Paper man.

The paper man seen on the blueprint.

Even if it becomes a game character, it is still a paper man.

It's unreal.

God was joking with her, right?
What happened in the game that I didn't come across in my 20s?
Xin Yi didn't feel the spark of love for Cao Yi for the time being, but she refused him, she couldn't say it, she just lowered her head and said that she had to think about it.

Mr. Cao didn't know how to deal with it, so he said that you should think about it and don't worry, so he hurriedly turned around.

That back looks like a guilty conscience.

Xin Yi watched him get on the back of the horse and leave, afraid that what he said just now would hurt his face, so he lifted his lips and smiled, and waved at him.

"Lord Cao, go slowly."

With embarrassment still on Cao Yi's face, he cupped his hands on the horse's back and soon disappeared into the crowd of people on Ma Xing Street.

Back in the inner hall of the pharmacy, the blush on Xin Yi's face hadn't faded, and his heart was beating like someone was beating a drum.

The two little girls Xiangling and Liangren didn't notice anything unusual, they were still looking at Wen Zi's portrait, praising Master Cao for his outstanding painting skills.

Mrs. An glanced at her and approached her with a smile.

"Lord Cao is good, my lady, don't miss him."

Xin Yi was taken aback, and his face turned even redder.

"Don't talk nonsense, what are you thinking?"

Madam An looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "you young people, you can't hide any thoughts on your face... Don't think I didn't see it. Mr. Cao is interested in you..."

Xin Yi didn't speak.

Mrs. An asked: "What do you think?"

Xin Yi lowered his head and tugged at the beard of an old ginseng, "I don't think much about it."

Mrs. An raised her eyebrows, "You don't like Master Cao?"

"It's not that I don't like it." Xin Yi couldn't tell what it felt like.

Love from another dimension?Like yes like no.How could she express this feeling, and let Mrs. An understand?
She shook her head and smiled softly, "Okay, don't tease me anymore. We're almost ready for the opening, and we don't need you in the shop today. Everyone is going to help Xiang Ling post the 'Missing Person Notice' Bar."

One more day missing means one more day in danger.

Wen Zi's family felt at ease with her, but Xin Yi was a newcomer who watched too much social news. As time went by, she became less and less confident about Wen Zi's safety.

~

In the next two days, everyone in the Xinyi Pharmacy, including the two clerks, were sent out to search for people, and a notice was posted, and only Xinyi stayed at home with Xiao Sannian.

Before Cao Yi said those words before leaving, he couldn't let go of them. He didn't come to the pharmacy for two days, and he was already fidgeting.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, he couldn't bear it anymore, and came to the shop during his shift.

Xin Yi was sitting in front of the counter, teaching Xiaosan to read and write. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Cao Yi's slender figure standing there.

Cao Yi was dressed in an official uniform, holding a waist knife, and stood at the door blocking most of the light.

"Miss Zhang is busy?"

"..."

Xin Yi looked up and met his gaze.

The embarrassing breath almost burst the air.

"Not busy." Xin Yi got up, saw San Bao following her, motioned her to continue writing, turned around and invited Cao Yi in.

"Master Cao, please sit down."

After that, she turned around and poured tea again.

"Don't bother me." Seeing her dodging eyes, Cao Yi glanced at San Nian who was obediently sitting there writing, and said in a low voice, "That day Cao took the liberty of thinking about it after going back, and regretted it..."

Regret?

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak.

Cao Yi still began to reflect on himself, "It's really, really Cao's fault to say the words of those abrupt ladies without careful consideration..."

Xin Yi bowed his head, not knowing what to say.

"Master Cao, let's have some tea."

She was going to pour tea again, Cao Yi was very embarrassed, and afraid of causing trouble to her, he reached out to stop her, and accidentally grabbed Xin Yi's hand.

Xin Yi: ...

Cao Yi quickly withdrew his hand as if being scalded by her.

"Cao is rude to my wife..."

It's presumptuous, abrupt, offensive, and sinful. Were all men in ancient times so observant?

Xin Yi, a modern person, is much more relaxed than Cao Yilai.

"Lord Cao, don't worry about it."

Seeing that he was nervous, Xin Yi coughed lightly, and slowly moved the tea to his face.

"I've thought about Master Cao's words that day."

Cao Yi held the teacup to cover up his nervousness and embarrassment for the convenience of drinking water.

"I like Mr. Cao very much." Xin Yi smiled slightly, "Which lady in Bianjing would not want such an excellent gentleman like Mr. Cao? I am no exception, I am a layman. But Mr. Cao, have you ever thought about it? How far is the gap between me and me?"

Cao Yi looked up.

Xin Yi stared into his eyes.

"Master Cao said he is happy with me. How are you going to deal with me? Cao Mansion will allow you to marry a widow with three children and go back to be his regular wife?"

Cao Yi was dumbfounded.

Agitated that day, he did express his thoughts without thinking carefully.

For a rich man like him, liking a woman is actually an extremely simple matter.

If you really like it, just take it back.

Even if Xin Yi is a widow, it's nothing more than a few more eclectic remarks, and it won't cause much trouble...

But marrying a regular wife is different.

The main wife of the Cao family wants a well-matched family and a decent family background. Even if the Cao family doesn't care about Xin Yi's marriage, they still care about whether she has a natal background and whether she can help him in his official career.

"I……"

Xin Yi saw his hesitation and smiled slightly.

"Master Cao, I don't need to say any more, I understand it in my heart. However, although I am unbearable, I don't want to be a concubine for others, and I am willing to be humble."

She raised her hands.

"I can live with my hands, why should I rely on others?"

Seeing Cao Yi was stunned, she pursed her lips again, smiled slightly, put her hands on the table slowly, and leaned over to stare at Cao Yi.

"I like my current life very much. Three children, a pharmacy, simple and simple. If Mr. Cao doesn't dislike it, we can still be best friends. If that day, I will just pretend that Mr. Cao didn't say it, and you don't have to take it to heart. ..."

Before Cao Yi came here today, he thought a lot, even thought about the worst outcome, that little lady Zhang would give her a cold face and refuse to pay attention to him anymore. She never expected that she would think so far and so much.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be grateful or sad.

Thankfully, she took what he said seriously.

Sadly, she thought of him a little bit badly.

"Ms. Zhang misunderstood. Cao did not despise you."

Cao Yi's eyes were deep, with a little annoyance and a little smile.

"When I said I didn't think it through, I meant that I didn't prepare everything thoroughly, so I rashly revealed my heart... But I never thought about taking you as a concubine, let alone having a concubine in addition to a wife in this life."

Xin Yi was surprised.

Nowadays, it is normal for dignitaries and dignitaries to look for flowers and willows, let alone taking concubines?

Thinking about it, it's not normal for Cao Yi to be alone at such an age.

"Master Cao, is there something wrong?"

She asked sincerely, but Cao Yi blushed from embarrassment.

"Don't worry, lady, I'm fine."

He smiled, seeing the doubts on Guan Xinyi's face, and sighed lightly.

"The Cao family has a strict family style and has always established a family with etiquette. My father often said that there are thousands of people in a family, but only one person is in charge. I will be the head of the family in the future, and I must strictly discipline myself and be innocent...Under the family training, my parents are demanding of me. Extremely, don't indulge in beauty, let alone wanton absurdity, before they are married, the Cao family's children are absolutely not allowed to take concubines into the mansion..."

Speaking of this, he smiled, "It can also be said that my family is very timid. Before the emperor drives, he is very careful in his words and deeds. Now that my sister is the mother of the country, we must be more cautious..."

Xin Yi didn't know why Cao Yi said this to her.

Seeing him stop, she pursed her lips with a smile and listened attentively.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yi stretched out his hand, grabbed her hand on the table, squeezed it, and looked at her seriously.

"I want to marry you as a wife, not a concubine."

The palm of that hand was hot, and the man's passionate eyes cut Xin Yi's skin like a hot iron.

She saw sincerity and emotion in Cao Yi's eyes, her heart was beating so fast, she almost forgot "Bianjing Fu" and the paper man, under the gaze of such eyes, she couldn't say any rejection if.

"I know what you're worried about."

Cao Yi's voice was low, slightly troubled.

"You are right to worry. I will marry you, there will be a little trouble, but now is a good time—"

He glanced at Xin Yi and smiled slightly.

"Lan'er and Guangling County King's marriage is settled, and the marriage pressure on me will be much less...My family is not unreasonable, especially my sister, she likes you in the first place, if I take advantage of their happiness now If she proposes to marry you, she will definitely help us."

The marriage between King Guangling and Cao Yilan has been settled?
Xin Yi thought about it and nodded.

Seeing that she recognized his words, Cao Yi's face became brighter again, "Even if the elders in the family still think about it, just waiting for you to cure your sister's illness and get a man in one fell swoop, you will be able to contribute to the Cao family... At that time , there will be no more obstacles between us, and no one can stop it..."

Xin Yi listened quietly.

Cao Yi was right, sincere, and eager.

It's a barrier of the times, not theirs.

But Xin Yi just felt weird.

It was difficult for her to tell whether that subconscious rejection came from the self-esteem and arrogance of the modern soul, or some other emotion.Even though she has integrated into this era physically and mentally, it is still difficult for her to convince herself to be a touchstone under the feudal marriage system, let alone a tragic emotional role like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

In fact, if she was given a choice, she would rather be a free drugstore proprietress than a gorgeous canary in a family mansion.

Even for love, even if there is a beautiful birdcage there.

"Master Cao also misunderstood me."

Xin Yi slowly pushed Cao Yi's hand away.

Not resisting, but rational, she was smiling at Cao Yi.

"My views may be somewhat different from Mr. Cao's. If I like you, I won't care about the status of nothingness. As long as Mr. Cao is not married, has no wife, and has no girls around, then if you love me, I don't care. Will reject being with Mr. Cao, we can try to get along, like... a couple? But if Mr. Cao wants to marry me, I have to seriously consider it. Marrying easily as a wife is not my pursuit."
