Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 18 Meat

Duanmu Zheng was dumbfounded and said nothing.

Duan Muchen suddenly frowned even more, and said: "Brother, you look so desolate, if sister-in-law, she knows..."

"Shut up!" Duanmuzheng suddenly raised his head and stared at Duanmuchen coldly, two sharp and sharp sword-like lights shot out from his usually dull eyes in an instant, which made people dare not look directly at him.

Duanmuchen was startled, opened his mouth, then snorted and glanced away, then turned to look at Duanmutian, with another smiling face, he said seductively: "Xiao Tiantian, uncle will take you to the capital, please?" It’s beautiful, bustling, and fun. There’s everything you need to know about singing, singing, and fighting. If you don’t think it’s fun enough, my uncle can take you to throw dice, play horses, fight crickets, and walk birds. If you still find it boring, then Just say it yourself, and my uncle will do it for you."

"..." Is he trying to train her to be a dandy like him?
Duanmu Zheng was listening, and his face turned dark.Although he never asked his daughter to be a gentle and virtuous lady, he would never want her to be an idle, cynical playboy.

Duanmuchen didn't look at people's faces at all, and after speaking, he turned his gaze to Duanmujing again, and said, "Little Jing, do you still remember grandma? Her old man has been talking about you all these years, do you want to follow Xiaojing?" Uncle go back to visit her old man?"

Facing Duanmuchen's proposal, Duanmujing was obviously stunned for a moment. Obviously, his uncle's entry point surprised him a little, and he didn't know what to do.

grandmother?

In fact, he couldn't remember what his grandmother looked like, only a vague outline, but he also felt that she seemed to be a very good person.

So he looked a little dazed, then shook his head and said, "I want to be with my father and sister."

Duanmuchen pouted dissatisfiedly, turned to Duanmutian again, and said, "Little Tiantian, don't you want to go back with uncle? Don't you want to visit the capital? Don't you want to go home to visit grandma?"

This tone...as if she would appear ruthless and unfilial if she shook her head and said no.

But she still shook her head and said, "Uncle, don't embarrass me, I think this place is pretty good."

"What's so good here? If you can't eat well, don't wear well, you have to work on the mountains every day, and even the clothes you wear have to be made by yourself. What's so good about it?"

Really nothing good.

Duanmu Tian froze for a moment, couldn't help the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, looked at him sideways and said, "Then what's so good about the capital? Apart from what you just said, what else is good?"

"That's too much. You haven't seen it before. If you have seen it, you will definitely not want to come back to this place."

"I know that in the capital there are flowers blooming like brocades, rich clothes and fine food, and wealth and glory. Even when I walk, eat, eat and wear clothes, there are people who wait beside me. I don't have to walk when I go out. I have my own sedan chair or carriage. For my use, I don’t need an umbrella when it rains, I have someone to support me. I can eat and sleep every day, and I can also go somewhere for a walk if I have nothing to do. I said what I want, what I want If I like it, I will go out and sell it myself, or if I don’t want it, someone will deliver it to me all the time.”

Duanmuchen listened blankly, but she didn't expect that she would know so clearly, as if she had experienced it herself.

Duanmu Tian withdrew his gaze, picked up the rice porridge in the rice bowl, and said softly: "But uncle, what's so good about these? I have hands and feet, and I don't need anyone to serve me. Several people are very difficult to be free. I can only open my mouth alone, and I can’t eat too much delicacies from mountains and seas, and if I eat too much, I will always get tired. Being vegetarian is good for my health. And if I really want something, I will I will find a way to get it by myself, even if I don’t go to the capital, it’s the same. Uncle, what’s so good about the capital? How many disputes are there under the prosperity? How many fights after the prosperity? Although I don’t know very well Our family's status in the capital city, but we can vaguely guess that it is either rich or noble, and it may not even be an ordinary honor. So uncle, you can be sure that after I go back with you, I will not be involved in those messy things Inside? Can you guarantee that after I go back with you, I can really think about it, just like that?"

Not only Duanmuchen, but even Duanmuzheng were stunned by her words at this moment. Even after seeing and hearing it with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe that such words came from a seven-year-old girl.

In this case, even the many nobles in the capital do not have such a depth and such awareness!

Duanmuchen suddenly lost his voice, he didn't know how to answer her repeated questions, and he couldn't say any more words of persuasion.

He felt that if he continued, he would be vulgar, even though he always considered himself a vulgar person.

After taking a long breath, he sighed again and said, "If I hadn't heard you say it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that such a little girl would say such a thing. You may be right, but Xiao Tiantian, where is it?" It's our home after all."

The weight of this sentence was too heavy, Duanmu Tian almost couldn't bear it for a while.

Concentrating quickly, he said softly: "I don't understand these things, all I know is that I grew up here, and my father and brother are also here, and this is my home. If you think this place is not bad, uncle, you may as well Stay for a few days."

"Well, good." Duanmuchen replied in a daze, then stayed for a while, then buried his head and concentrated on drinking the porridge.

For a while, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere around the dinner table was a little tense.

Until someone walked in bluffing, the four people in the main room looked out through the door, and saw Butcher Wang striding in with something in his hands.

"Doctor Duanmu woke up?" He entered the main room bluffing, saw Duanmuzheng at first sight, and then saw Duanmuchen, a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Yo , there are guests!"

Dare to feel that when he came over yesterday evening, he didn't see Mr. Chen's existence at all.

He casually handed over the thing in his hand, it was a piece of fat and tender meat, judging by its size, it weighed two or three catties.

"I came here in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring anything. Today I brought such a piece of meat from home. It was thanks to Dr. Duanmu yesterday. Otherwise, my kid might be in trouble. I just saw his black body. He looked like he was going to die!"

Thanks to his big shoulders, thick waist, and fleshy face, he can still smile so kindly, and he has completely disappeared from the arrogance and ferocity he had when he came to Duanmuzheng to settle accounts the day before yesterday.

Before Duanmuzheng and the others could respond, they saw Duanmuchen suddenly jumped up from the stool, walked over and took the piece of meat, and said with a smile: "Oh, you are too polite, everyone is from the village, It is also necessary to help each other, big brother, have you had breakfast? Why don't you sit down and have something together?"
