Last time she invited him to her Dingxiang Courtyard as a guest, and she would cook the food herself.
Unexpectedly, when she came to his place as a guest today, he actually asked her to cook. She has never been such a guest in her life.
Today is an eye-opener.
Of course she wanted to refuse, but... it was the seventh princess's will for her to marry him.
And he had rejected her proposal before.
So, strictly speaking, she is now chasing Li Zhongwu.
If you want to pursue something backwards, you definitely have to let go of your self-esteem and learn to compromise.
"Okay, it should be."
She forced a smile and said something against her will.
At this moment, she felt that if she couldn't see his luck and her divine power couldn't cut his luck, she would definitely cut some of his luck to let him take out his bad luck and vent his anger.
"Then let me take you to see the ingredients I bought for you today! You can see what is missing. If there are any ingredients or seasonings missing, I will buy them for you in a moment."
Li Zhongwu said and walked to the kitchen first.
Fang Xingtong: "???"
Although she is well-educated, at this moment, she also wants to use foul language.
She had just entered the yard, and she hadn't even entered the main house's door yet. Why should she be led to the kitchen first?
"Okay, let me take a look first."
She continued to speak against her will and followed him into the kitchen.
But when I first walked into the kitchen, I noticed a cardboard box next to the refrigerator, and inside the box was a small black native dog.
Judging from the size of the native dog's shoes, he must have been born not long ago.
Fang Xingtong blinked, walked over, and squatted beside the cardboard box curiously. While looking at the native dog, he asked, "Do you like dogs? Did you just raise one?"
Li Zhongwu stopped, looked back, and hummed.
Fang Xingtong reached out and touched the puppy's head, and asked: "What kind of dog is this? Is it a native dog? Have you given it a name? Otherwise, just call it Xiaotian! I remember the ancient myths and legends
, there seems to be a black dog called Roaring Dog, and it just so happens that your dog is also black, what do you think?"
Li Zhongwu shook his head slightly, "It already has a name."
Fang Xingtong turned to look at him, "Oh? What did you name it?"
Li Zhongwu said lightly: "Expert."
A look of confusion appeared in Fang Xingtong's eyes, "What Zhuan? What Jia? Why such a strange name?"
Li Zhongwu: "It means that it specializes in looking after the house. However, if it doesn't take good care of the house in the future and always causes damage in the house, it means that it specializes in destroying the house."
Fang Xingtong laughed, "The name you gave it, can the meaning change?"
Li Zhongwu: "No?"
Fang Xingtong touched the puppy's head again, stood up and said, "Okay! It's yours, and it's your right to name it whatever you want."
After saying that, she looked around the small kitchen and saw bags of ingredients on the workbench not far away. Without Li Zhongwu saying anything, she took the initiative to go over and check it out.
Li Zhongwu looked at her back as she looked through the ingredients. He was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Everything you said you liked me last time was a lie, right?"
Fang Xingtong was startled and stopped what he was doing, but did not look back at him.
She closed her eyes with a helpless expression. When she opened her eyes again, a smile appeared on her face again, and she turned around and said, "Don't you believe it?"
A faint smile appeared on Li Zhongwu's lips, "If someone said he liked everything about you, would you believe it?"
Fang Xingtong laughed and asked, "Why don't you believe it?"
Li Zhongwu: "It seems you are very confident."
Fang Xingtong: "..."
After a moment of silence, Fang Xingtong asked: "Why don't you want to marry me? Am I not beautiful enough?"
She really doesn't look amazing.
But very attractive.
That round face, to use an old saying, should be like a silver plate.
Not chubby and round, but just the right kind of plump.
If you look carefully, it has a classical beauty.
A pair of black gem-like eyes are particularly beautiful.
Therefore, she is a beauty.
but……
For Li Zhongwu, marrying a wife and whether she is beautiful or not has never been the most important thing.
"You are beautiful."
Li Zhongwu recognized her beauty.
Fang Xingtong was puzzled, "Then why don't you want to marry me?"
Li Zhongwu: "Do you think you are the mistress of my house?"
Fang Xingtong didn't understand what he meant immediately. She frowned and looked around subconsciously and at the yard outside the kitchen door. She frowned and thought for a while before she asked uncertainly: "You mean... you and my family?"
It’s not appropriate, we have the wrong household, you think we’re not suitable? Is that why you don’t want to marry me?”
Li Zhongwu smiled, turned around and walked out of the kitchen door, and asked calmly: "Do you think it's appropriate?"
When he gets married, he hopes that his life will be more comfortable after marriage.
Instead of trying to cater to your wife's living habits and living standards.
Maybe someone might say: If you really like a woman, you should fight for her, fight for a better life for her, and don't let her lose.
The problem is - Li Zhongwu doesn't think any woman is worthy of his efforts.
The most important thing is that after fighting in the world of reincarnation for so long, he now just wants to live a simpler and more relaxed life, and be as comfortable as possible.
He wants to stay away from all people and things that might make his life uncomfortable.
Fang Xingtong frowned, thinking about how to convince him, and followed him out of the kitchen.
Li Zhongwu finally took her into the living room of the main house.
And personally made her a cup of scented tea.
When the tea cup was handed over to her, Fang Xingtong looked at him and said with a sincere expression: "The problems you mentioned can be solved. Do you want to listen to my ideas?"
Li Zhongwu looked at her, smiled slightly, sat down on the wooden chair next to her, stretched out his hand to signal, "Tell me about it."
A smile appeared on Fang Xingtong's face, "I admit that you are right, I do not feel like the mistress of this house. If you let me live here for a long time in such a small house, I will not be used to it.
But I have a bigger house myself, such as the Dingxiang Courtyard I took you to last time. If you don’t like it, I can also pay for a bigger and better house. Don’t worry! I will pay for it.
, just think of it as my dowry, you don’t have to worry about the money, I have been doing business myself over the years and have made some money, which should be enough for us to have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives."
Having said this, her expression became much more confident, and there was a bit more smile in her eyes, "How is it? Do you want to marry me now?"
If Li Zhongwu was still an ordinary person before entering the main god space, he would probably not be able to withstand such sugar-coated bullets.
Because at that time, it was really difficult for a poor person like him to buy a wedding house in the city.
But now...
Li Zhongwu looked at Fang Xingtong and shook his head slowly, "I don't like to eat soft food."
Fang Xingtong was puzzled, "Why? I don't mind, isn't it good to eat soft rice? Besides, all women need to prepare a dowry when they get married. I have already said that buying a house for me counts as a dowry, not for you to eat soft rice.
of."
Li Zhongwu shook his head, "You and I both know whether we are eating soft food or not. It's not just something you say doesn't count."
Fang Xingtong's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Then what if you eat soft rice? Isn't it a skill to be able to eat soft rice? Not all men are qualified to eat soft rice!"
Li Zhongwu laughed, "You are right, but if I eat your food, I will be embarrassed to ask you to cook and wash for me every day after marriage."
Fang Xingtong looked a little stunned, "Why do you have to let me wash and cook for you personally? If I get married, my father will definitely bring a few maids with me, and then I can leave all the trivial matters at home to them.
Take care of it.”
Li Zhongwu was silent.
Reason told him - what she said was right.
But he knew in his heart that that was not the life he liked. If he wanted to hire someone to do laundry and cook, couldn't he afford it now? He didn't lack that kind of salary.
But after he bought the house, he always took care of himself and never thought of hiring a servant.
But then again.
Seeing that Fang Xingtong wanted to marry him so much, she even preferred to give him a soft hand.
He was somewhat shaken in his heart.
Although he doesn't like the presence of outsiders in his family, he also doesn't like outsiders being able to peek into the secrets of his martial arts.
However, he also knew that it was his blessing to be favored by a rich lady like Fang Xingtong, and it was rare.
"I'll think about it again! Drink tea!"
Undecided for a moment, he was ready to stop talking about this topic for the time being.
He picked up the tea cup and motioned for Fang Xingtong to drink tea.
Fang Xingtong was a little helpless, but she still picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
She felt like she couldn't understand Li Zhongwu.
I still can't figure out why he cares so much about whether his future wife can cook? Can she cook and do laundry for him every day?
The environment in which she grew up made her feel that it was natural for her to leave those things to servants.
Finally, she guessed: Maybe her village used to follow the same standard when looking for a wife, looking for someone with a plump figure, a gentle personality, and someone who could cook?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this must be the truth.
Because she felt that in the isolated village where he grew up, the division of labor between husband and wife should be very primitive.
Men are responsible for planting and hunting, and women are responsible for washing, cooking, and giving birth to children.
There should be no one in their village who has a maid, and all the housework must be done by the wife.
Thinking of this, Fang Xingtong somewhat understood his criteria for choosing a mate.
——Now that he has left that village, after he has lived outside for a long time and has seen more of the lives of the rich and powerful, his traditional concepts should have changed.
…
At noon that day, Fang Xingtong actually cooked in person and cooked a table of meals for Li Zhongwu.
Her cooking skills are still so outstanding. Although the cooking speed is not very fast, every dish is delicious, delicious and presentable.
When the two of them had lunch together, she couldn't help but ask: "It seems that there has been a lot of cooking in your kitchen recently, and all the seasonings have signs of being used. You said you can't cook, who did it?"
Li Zhongwu lowered his head to pick up the vegetables and replied casually: "It's just a matter of making some food to fill the stomach. It's enough to cook it. It doesn't count as knowing how to cook."
Fang Xingtong looked at him suspiciously, doubtful.
