Chapter 480 The art of controlling people (4000)

Of course Wu Liang would not go to see Cao Ni alone.

He originally planned to find Cao Zhen after arranging a place with his servants, and then meet Cao Ni in the company of Cao Zhen. With such a light bulb around, Cao Ni would naturally not have much to do with him.

Through in-depth communication, I was able to cope with Boss Cao's "love".

Unexpectedly, the front legs had just been settled, and before Wu Liang had time to leave the house, Cao Ni came to the door.

"Wu Youcai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are a little darker than the last time I saw you."

Silently like a cat, she leaned against the door frame and looked at Wu Liang. It was not until Wu Liang turned around that he was startled when he suddenly spotted her. Then Cao Ni showed a rather reserved smile and said softly.

At this moment, Cao Ni has obviously been carefully dressed up. She looks even brighter than before. She even pulled up her hair in a bun and inserted a beautiful hosta, revealing a fair and slender neck... This is what a woman has done.

Cao Ni had already combed his hair, which should have been done after the ceremony. How could this teach Wu Liang not to be more vigilant?

Because in addition to the custom of holding the wedding ceremony at the age of fifteen, there is another custom that women should perform the wedding ceremony after they are engaged and before they get married.

Therefore, Cao Ni dressed up like this is most likely because he has already gone through the marriage ceremony and can marry him anytime, anywhere. It's just that Boss Cao didn't force him to marry because of his face or because he didn't want to push him too hard...

After coming back to his senses, Wu Liang lowered his head and saluted: "I have seen the young master."

"It's hard for you to be so upright when you see me because you and Brother Anmin are side by side."

Cao Ni looked straight at Wu Liang, and finally sighed softly, as if Wu Liang had suffered a great injustice by doing this and had been trying to suppress his inner feelings, "Mother said you are inferior to your background.

, it’s not easy for you to get to where you are today, so you cherish everything you have now. You don’t dare to surpass or make mistakes easily. Therefore, you didn’t dare to look at me before getting married. You must be very bitter in your heart when you live so cautiously.

Bar?"

"???"

Wu Liang was stunned. What kind of enterprise-level understanding is this?

Oh - these words were said by Cao Ni's adoptive mother. Her adoptive mother is Mrs. Ding... That's okay.

The biological mother of Cao Ni and Cao Ang was Mrs. Liu. Unfortunately, Mrs. Liu died very early, so the siblings have been raised by the infertile Mrs. Ding since they were children. They are closer than their biological mothers.

But this Mrs. Ding is actually a cruel person.

Historically, after Dian Wei, Cao Ang and Cao Zhen died in the battle at Wancheng, Mrs. Ding was heartbroken by Cao Ang's death and cried all day long, often complaining that Boss Cao had killed her son.

Boss Cao was angry and helpless. In order not to be hurt by Mrs. Ding over and over again, he had to send her back to her parents' home first to teach her to calm down and stop making trouble.

However, when Boss Cao became more and more powerful and tried to take her back, she was already a stranger to him, so much so that Boss Cao couldn't persuade her three times to change his mind, so in the end he had to formally sign the contract.

Leave.

This is not because Boss Cao divorced Mrs. Ding.

Instead, Mrs. Ding divorced Boss Cao.

In such an era, with such an identity, and with such things happening, who dares to say that Mrs. Ding is not a ruthless person?

Such ruthless thinking is naturally unique.

Of course, Wu Liang is not saying that there is something wrong with Mrs. Ding's brain. Since she cannot have children, she must cherish Cao Ang and Cao Ni even more, caring for and raising them as her own children. In addition, Cao Ang is the eldest son of Boss Cao.

The legitimate heir to the foundation. In ancient China, it was a matter of motherhood and sonship. But in the end, she died because of Boss Cao's personal hobby. How could Mrs. Ding not be anxious or angry?

It's just that the way this thing was done was a bit inflexible, a bit stubborn and decisive, and not everyone can understand it.

It is not necessarily impossible that Mrs. Ding would teach Cao Ni to understand Wu Liang's indifference. Her thoughts are definitely something Wu Liang cannot easily understand.

"My mother was right, right?"

Seeing that Wu Liang was stunned, Cao Ni thought that Wu Liang had seen his confidant's expression, and then said, "You can rest assured that I am not an ignorant person. From now on, I will be careful about my words and actions in front of outsiders.

I will never be a burden to you or embarrass you. Now that you and I are engaged, I am also harming myself by harming you."

While speaking, although Cao Ni was leaning on the door frame, his feet always stood outside the threshold and did not easily cross a step.

If it had been in the past, she wouldn't have cared about the idea that a man and a woman could not live together in the same room. She would have rushed into the house to talk to Wu Liang, just like a female bandit.

obviously.

During the more than half a year without seeing each other, Cao Ni must have received a series of training and instruction, and worked hard to learn how to be restrained and how to be a lady.

Naturally, her adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding, played an important role.

This is a good thing.

At least Cao Ni should not act recklessly now, and Wu Liang can continue to "delay" it.

With this in mind, Wu Liang saluted again and said: "Young Master, you are serious in your words. How dare I regard you as a burden? I am afraid that I will become a drag on you and ruin your life."

"For us women, if we can't stay with the person we love forever, we will miss the mark for the rest of our lives."

Cao Ni smiled implicitly again, her pretty face blushing slightly.

"..."

Cao Ni acted like this. If he hadn't known what Cao Ni was like in history, Wu Liang would have almost thought that this girl was just a lady.

I have to admit that Mrs. Ding’s training is indeed very effective.

But at this point, Wu Liang didn't know how to continue. He was afraid that things would develop in a bad direction again as he spoke.

at this time.

"General Wu! General Wu? General Wu!"

Prince Chamu's voice came from outside the house. He had already settled himself and immediately ran to look for Wu Liang.

After all, the only person he knew in the Cao Mansion was Wu Liang, and just now Wu Liang had told him that he would take him to meet Cao Ang and Cao Zhen after he settled down, which was what Boss Cao meant.

"here!"

Wu Liang walked sideways out of the room from Cao Ni and waved to Prince Chamu who had just come over.

"So General Wu is here. I just saw that the person standing at the door was not General Wu, so I thought I had entered the wrong courtyard."

Prince Chamu glanced at Cao Ni with his eyes lowered, then withdrew his gaze politely, and said to Wu Liang with a smile.

"This is the envoy's young lady."

Wu Liang introduced the two of them quite formally, "Female young master, this is the prince of Shanshan Kingdom who has good relations with the envoy, Prince Chamu."

"I've seen the young master."

Prince Chamu quickly touched his chest and saluted.

"I met Prince Chamu."

Cao Ni returned the gift with a smile, and then said to Wu Liang, "Since you have something to discuss with Prince Chamu, I will go back first... By the way, I personally made some clothes for you, and

The leather boots of yours have worn off after a year of walking across mountains and rivers. I also made a pair for you and will have someone deliver them to you later. You have been running around all year round, so don’t treat yourself badly."

"Well……"

Cao Ni's concern and understanding made Wu Liang a little uncomfortable, but he could only smile and thank him, "Thank you, young master."

"Prince Chamu, please retire."

Cao Ni pursed her lips and nodded, saluted Prince Chamu again, and then walked out of the yard with small steps.

"..."

Looking at her back, Wu Liang had complicated emotions.

"General Wu, isn't this young lady your fiancée whom you have just mentioned several times?"

Prince Chamu asked.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Liang asked rhetorically.

"General Wu is so lucky. Madam-in-law is not only generous and well-educated, but also has the appearance and temperament of a fish and a goose. I have never seen a woman as beautiful as Madam-in-law in Shanshan Kingdom."

Prince Chamu said with envy.

Different from the implicitness and rules of the ancient Central Plains, the Shanshan Kingdom is not so particular, so it is not taboo to praise other people's inner rooms. In their view, this is also a kind of etiquette, not frivolous.

Take the simplest example:

In China, if you want to praise someone, the other person's response is usually "that's a ridiculous compliment."

When you praise someone in the Western Regions, the other person's response is usually "Thank you."

This is the difference between the two cultures.

Therefore, Wu Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with Cha Mu's words, but turned around and asked again: "Is she beautiful? Why didn't I see it?"

"this……"

Cha Mu's tone paused when asked, and then he said, "This is probably because General Wu already has a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as this young lady, so he is not blessed even though he is blessed, right? Or maybe... General Wu

In fact, I asked this question on purpose, in order to cover up the secret joy in my heart and show off to my little brother invisibly."

“Easy to understand!”

Wu Liang slapped him on the shoulder, "Let's go find someone to drink with!"
