An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

Nie Ce did not rush to refute anything. He just watched her calmly as she spoke.

The oil in the lamp was running low, and the light was dim. Perhaps it was the dimness that made people calmer, and Sang Ling's heart suddenly calmed down. "At least now, I just want to save these children."

Nie Ce's expression relaxed a little, "Don't you feel tired?"

Being in such an unfamiliar place, treating a group of strangers, and being busy from morning to night, he couldn't imagine how a young lady who had lived in a high-class family since childhood could endure all this?

"I am more afraid of doing nothing and wasting my life."

"Doing nothing is a peaceful life."

Nie Ce still didn't understand, or rather, most people in this era wouldn't understand that the economic base determines the superstructure, and that people today only want to have enough food and warm clothes, and they are still at the bottom of the hierarchy of needs. Sang Ling still wanted to understand the gap in their thinking.

The face under the light is always calm as water, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."

After he finished speaking, there was silence for an unknown amount of time. The young general leaned back involuntarily, his entire face hidden in the shadow, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

Although Nie Ce was not an educated person, he had heard this before. In order to suppress him, Sang Nu even quoted words from Mencius.

How could he explain this?

He felt very proud of himself for being able to understand these words - but suddenly he felt both amused and confused, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

In fact, the original intention of calling her over was not to quarrel, but I was holding some anger in my heart, and subconsciously I couldn't adopt a gentle attitude.

It might be more than ten days since we last met, how could he not miss her? When she came in just now, the light in the room seemed to be brighter. This face was so beautiful that even if he didn't want to think that he liked her because of her appearance, he couldn't help but admire her and be moved. Even when he saw her frown, his heart was moved. No matter how disobedient she was, she was still his woman after all. It was not a manly thing to keep insisting on this.

Seeing that the person on the other side did not reply, Sang Ling swallowed and reluctantly said, "Your battle is almost over." In fact, he was a little tired. Not only was his legs numb, but his waist was also sore.

Nie Ce did not answer directly, but asked, "If it is over, but your patient is still not healed, what should I do?"

The six girls from Zhongcun had no guardians. Although Sang Ling had already decided to bring them back to Chang'an, he couldn't say this in front of Nie Ce, so he lowered his eyes and did not answer.

"I won't wait for you." Nie Jialang said to himself.

There were a few sounds of insects chirping among the branches in the corner of the yard. The girl's slender eyebrows raised unconsciously, and she tasted the subtle change in the guy's tone, but still couldn't tell whether he was angry or calm.

"Then you go first." She became tough, and as expected, she said impatiently, "Do you still want to confront me?"

Nie Jialang sat up straight, his handsome face reappearing in the light. If they still don't understand, then their marriage is in vain. Sang Jianu couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Amid low laughter, the draft swept silently through the window lattice, and the candlelight created flickering ripples on the two people's faces.

Nie Ce sighed helplessly, "Just take those kids with you and go back to Chang'an together."

It was so rare that the two of them happened to meet at the same time. She finally relaxed her whole body, held her waist, took a deep breath, and bent down a little bit, trying to sit down on the wooden steps.

Nie Ce realized something was wrong, so he stood up and came to support her. When he grabbed her, he found that her wrist was so thin that there was still a lot of space when he held it.

"I was chatting with people the whole afternoon." The Sang family's daughter muttered, "The bamboo couch in the yard is very hard, and there is no soft cushion. I kneeled and sat for a long time and my back and waist ached, and my calves cramped. Later, I worked in the main hall."

Nie Ce couldn't help but say that she was asking for trouble, but he swallowed the words and grabbed her hand and rubbed it. Sang Ling then looked back at him and asked him, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"Wu Zishi said that you dreamed of your daughter crying at night."

What Wu Zishi? I think it was Dai Chengjun who leaked it. Sang Ling sneered in his heart, "I couldn't sleep well those few nights. I often had dreams."

"What else did you dream about?" Nie Ce pulled her hand slightly harder, and the two of them snuggled up to each other easily.

"I don't remember anything else." The tension faded away, and she only felt tired, and sleepiness surged up. She heard Nie Ce say in her ear, "Mother sent a letter home the day before yesterday. After knowing your whereabouts, she didn't say anything, but mentioned a few words--" He opened his mouth and called "Ayao."

"Have some fun." Sang Ling corrected him.

Nie Ce had no choice but to follow suit, "Have fun." He continued, "It's hot in the summer, and she has been living with mom since you came out. She's pretty obedient. Mom said: She's much easier to take care of than when I was a child."

Sang Ling chuckled when he heard this, "What else did you say?"

"Tell me Ping An and take good care of you." Nie Ce did not bring up the following words - what his mother said about Liang - in front of her, he still knew to only say nice things.

Sang Ling was actually skeptical. Even a mother would have some complaints when her daughter ran away from home, not to mention that she was her mother-in-law. But she didn't ask any more questions and said with emotion, "We all have to go back safely."

Then she heard Nie Ce say "hmm" and raised his hand to rub her shoulders a few times. With this touch, the sleepiness that had just been slightly suppressed came back. She looked at the stars in the sky from the window, still reminiscing about the past, when she suddenly heard the person next to her change the topic, "Gongsun Zhang came here to provide relief?"

She responded softly and leaned deeper into his arms.

"You were talking to him this afternoon?"

"Yeah." Actually, she could hear the hidden meaning in his words, but she was really sleepy and didn't have the energy to think. She rubbed her forehead against his collar a few times and just nodded.

Just like a raccoon lying on his body and acting coquettishly, Nie Ce lowered his head and smiled, but when he raised his eyes again, the underlying tone in his eyes was actually dull, "What did you guys say?"

What he said here and there was just what Dai Chengjun had guessed. Sang Ling laughed with misty eyes.

Nie Ce also knew why she was laughing, and asked knowingly, "What made you think of something so funny?"

"Nie Xuanwen, don't beat around the bush with me. We've been married for so long, maybe you still don't know how to talk to me?"

There is no need for couples to talk in cryptic terms. At worst, they can have a quarrel, which is better than saying something with a hidden meaning. Nie Ce then stroked the corner of her lips with his fingertips, "Why don't you just tell him that you are married?"

The pupils of the Sang family girl were full of golden dots, and the light was soft around her fingers. The sleepiness in her heart was gradually covered by sweetness. She had that thought for no reason, so she stretched out her tongue to lick his thumb and said softly, "You are a general, you must know more than me. Among the female doctors accompanying you, are there any married people?"

After hearing this, Nie Ce finally realized how ridiculous it was, but he still felt uncomfortable. He said unhappily, "Just reject him directly."

"I said it's inconvenient at home, but that doesn't mean it's a refusal?"

Although it was true, but he——Nie Ce stared at the person in his arms, angry and loving at the same time, he couldn't argue anyway, so he simply kissed those cherry lips to vent his anger. The Sang family girl also pinched his waist like a mischievous person, but her strength was just like a kitten scratching a person, so he finally smiled and reduced the strength, and slowly ground...

The two of them were affectionate for a while, and when they left, one was panting and the other was still a little reluctant to leave.

Nie Ce held the back of her head and tried to kiss her again, but he asked her to cover her lips with her fingers.

"Where are you staying tonight?"

The villagers have been renovating their houses these past two days, and all the furniture in the main courtyard has been moved away. Except for the main hall and the side room where they live, there are few pieces of furniture in the side courtyard. Only the small room where they are now has a desk and an oil lamp. The two of them are sitting cross-legged on the wooden steps and talking.

If you sleep here, you will probably catch a damp cold even in the summer in the south.

Nie Ce thought about this problem seriously. He didn't think about these things when he came here - he rushed over in a hurry, thinking that he would just take a look at her. Unexpectedly, after listening to that conversation, he naturally stayed, and then - it was now.

But if he had to leave now, he would naturally be reluctant.
