This was Gao Hongming's first impression of Qin Xiulian.
However, Gao Hongming has no objection to this. Women with this kind of personality can be seen almost everywhere in later generations.
However, such a character may not be very popular in this era. Men in this era prefer to be in love with others. The reason why my predecessor would rather stay in the militia for more than a month rather than go home is probably because of this.
Reason.
Seeing Gao Hongming staring at Qin Xiulian without saying anything, the people around him looked at each other, and many people had worried looks in their eyes.
In their impression, their young master didn't like his young mistress very much. He always had a nose, not a nose, eyes, not eyes. He was not even willing to eat with the young mistress. Some time ago, he even moved to the suburbs for more than a month under the pretext of training a militia.
, didn’t come back until today.
Seeing that Gao Hongming remained silent, Qin Xiulian's eyes flashed with sadness, but then a smile appeared on her face and she walked to Gao Hongming and said, "Hong Ming, you are back. You must be tired from training outside the city these days. Do you want to
Take a shower first and then eat?"
"This...okay!"
To Qin Xiulian's surprise, Gao Hongming rarely responded to her words. Normally, he would just snort from his nostrils and take it as an answer.
Surprised, she quickly ordered, "Ziying, did you hear me? Quickly prepare hot water for the young master and prepare for him to bathe and change clothes."
Ziying on the side also recovered from her surprise and hurriedly agreed.
"Okay young lady, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, Ziying quickly ran to the backyard.
Qin Xiulian also waved to the people around her: "Okay, let's all disperse. The young master has just come back. Let him have a good rest. If you have anything else to do, wait until tomorrow."
"yes!"
Hearing the words of the young lady in charge, the people around them quickly went into a panic.
After giving the instructions, Qin Xiulian gently held Gao Hongming's arm, and a seductive fragrance immediately penetrated his nose: "Hong Ming, you must be tired just after you came back. How about I wipe your back?"
"No, is it so exciting?"
Gao Hongming, who hadn't fully adapted yet, didn't know what to do for a while. Although the beauty next to him was considered to be the best, she was someone else's wife... No... she is my wife now.
Just when Gao Hongming was hesitating whether to agree or refuse, he was keenly aware that Qin Xiulian's hand holding his was trembling.
Is she afraid?
Gao Hongming turned to look at her. Although Qin Xiulian quickly lowered her head, he still caught the fleeting look in her eyes.
"She was afraid...afraid of her hand pushing away."
Gao Hongming immediately had a realization in his heart. This woman, who seemed to outsiders to be very good at dealing with people and abilities, was cautious when coming into contact with him. She was afraid that she had done something wrong, causing her to ignore her or even turn away.
.
As for the reason, it goes without saying that Gao Hongming also understands that since she has married him, she has been firmly bound to him for the rest of her life.
Even though we are already in the Republic of China, the women's liberation movement has been going on for decades. However, people's ideas and social atmosphere are not so easy to change. In this era, no matter how capable or beautiful a woman is, she still has to rely on
It can only be reflected in men.
(The author does not mean to discriminate against women in this way, but is elaborating on a fact. Speaking of the most outstanding women during the Republic of China, the three sisters of the Song family should be the most outstanding, right? But even if they are outstanding, they have to rely on their husbands to bring them to justice.
Present your talents and excellent qualities to the world.
Just imagine, without the platforms provided by these three men, Sun Guofu, Chairman Chiang, and Dean Kong, would the three sisters of the Song family still be as famous as they would be in later generations if they relied solely on themselves?)
Thinking of this, Gao Hongming suddenly felt a feeling of understanding and even pity for the woman next to him whom he had met for the first time. He stretched out his right hand and held the little hand holding his arm.
A feeling that can be called smooth, delicate, soft and boneless was immediately transferred from the palm of the hand to the mind. When he lowered his head, he could clearly see her neck. The tiny blood vessels under the translucent skin like crystal glass were also exposed and glowing.
A layer of hazy halo.
At this time, he could notice that the catkin he was holding suddenly trembled, and his snow-white face seemed to be stained with a hint of red, becoming extraordinarily crystal clear.
Qin Xiulian didn't expect that her husband, who had always avoided her, would suddenly take the initiative to hold her hand. She didn't react for a while and her whole body trembled. Just when she was at a loss, Gao Hongming's voice came out.
It rang in her ears.
"Xiulian, let's go back to the house and you can rub my back."
Qin Xiulian, who had her husband take the initiative to hold her hand for the first time, suddenly felt an unreal feeling in her mind. She was so dizzy that Gao Hongming took her hand back to the backyard, and how she helped him fetch water, rub his back, etc.
Can not remember.
It can be said that she spent the whole afternoon in a confused mood, and she gradually came back to her senses after the sun went down and she was ready to have dinner.
"Miss, congratulations."
Looking at the Qiaoxiao Qianxi in front of her and Ziying looking at her, Qin Xiulian suddenly felt the urge to cry. She sniffed and laughed and cursed in a slightly nasal voice: "You little girl, you are talking nonsense again.
, if you are so presumptuous, be careful and I will send you out. Tell me, whether you want to marry Butler Song's son Youfu or the young master's great treasure, I can make it happen for you."
"Hey...Miss, what are you talking nonsense about?"
Now it was Ziying's turn to give up, hugging her own lady and twisting her body like a twist.
Qin Xiulian stroked Ziying's hair lovingly. For this girl who had grown up with her and married with her, she was nominally his maid, but she treated her as a sister.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready. The young master should be hungry after working hard all day. Go and urge them to hurry up. I'll go and see if the young master is awake.
"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Ziying agreed and ran outside with light steps.
After Ziying left, Qin Xiulian straightened her appearance, brewed a pot of tea and walked towards the study.
When she came to the study, she saw the lights in the study were brightly lit, and Gao Hongming, who had changed into casual clothes, was standing by the wall with his hands behind his back, looking attentively at a map of Shanxi hanging on the wall.
She gently placed the teapot on the table and pressed it down softly: "Hong Ming, what are you looking at?"
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Gao Hongming turned his head, and with the help of the light, he saw a pretty face that was both happy and angry, looking at him gently.
