Chapter 217 Dating
Cheng Wenwen didn't expect Qi Shuo to agree without even thinking about it, so she said, "You need to think it over carefully. Are you sure you want to give up your rights as a man to have three wives and four concubines because of me?"
Qi Shuo said, "I have never thought of having three wives and four concubines. One wife is enough. Even if I don't marry you, I will only have one wife by my side, and no other women."
Cheng Wenwen was a little unconvinced. He had so many concubines before! Besides, there was also Wu Li.
"Didn't you have so many concubines before you had a wife?" Cheng Wenwen asked what was in her heart.
Qi Shuo said, "They were all sent to my house by dignitaries from all sides. I never touched them. I just provided them with an environment in which they could live."
Cheng Wenwen nodded, indicating that she understood, but understanding did not mean that she would not mind, so she said: "Whether in public or in private, my husband must not have other women. Even if it is to balance the power and allow a few concubines to stay in the mansion, that is not acceptable."
"I agree to this!" Qi Shuo said.
Cheng Wenwen heard what he said, but frowned and said, "I hope you can do this without me restricting you. If you do it reluctantly just because of my restriction, then there is no need to do it!"
Qi Shuo explained: "It's not because of your constraints, I'm sincere. With you, how could I look at other women?"
Cheng Wenwen probably understood what she heard, but Qi Shuo might just be poor at speaking and didn't know how to express himself.
Cheng Wenwen asked again: "Then do you know that Wu Li, the steward of your mansion, likes you?"
Qi Shuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I know!"
He also found out about it a few days ago. If it weren't for Wu Li, he and Cheng Wenwen wouldn't have had a misunderstanding and made her angry.
"Keeping someone who likes you by your side is something I can't accept," said Cheng Wenwen.
Qi Shuo nodded: "I know, you don't have to worry about this matter. Wu Li had already left the mansion a few days ago."
Cheng Wenwen asked: "Where did she go?"
"She did something wrong and ran away out of guilt!" Qi Shuo said simply.
"Is that so?" Cheng Wenwen felt a little strange.
Qi Shuo continued: "So, I can do all that you said. Can you stay and be my wife?"
Cheng Wenwen shook her head and said, "Not yet!"
"Why?" Qi Shuo frowned and asked, "If you have any other requests, just ask and tell me. I can do it."
Cheng Wenwen said: "Before we become husband and wife, we have to spend more time together, understand each other's temperament and habits, and see if we are suitable before we can get married."
To put it in modern terms, if you want to get married, you have to date first. Only after you have a good relationship, can you know whether marriage is suitable!
Qi Shuo nodded: "You are right, I was too anxious."
Qi Shuo paused, then looked up at Cheng Wenwen and asked, "Then why don't you stay in Shanzhou for a while longer so we can spend more time together, okay?"
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "That's natural!"
"Then...then...how do we get along?" Qi Shuo went from being happy just now to being a little overwhelmed. He was afraid that he would not perform well and that she would regret it.
Cheng Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and said, "Now that we have talked about today's matter, let's each do our own things. If we have any appointments, we can get along later."
After saying that, Cheng Wenwen was about to go back to her own yard. After all, after talking so much, it was still necessary to confirm the issue of dating, which was inevitably a bit awkward. Let's make an appointment again in two days.
Qi Shuo hurriedly called her and said, "Wenwen, you won't regret it after you go back, right?"
After hearing this, Cheng Wenwen turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't regret it. However, if we try to get along and feel that it is not suitable, we will also separate."
Qi Shuo nodded: "Okay!"
Cheng Wenwen quickly returned to her yard. Because this negotiation took up too much of her energy, she felt inexplicably happy.
Cheng Wenwen couldn't help but smile, perhaps because of the beginning of a new love.
As for Qi Shuo, he returned to his yard, still feeling a little dazed. It took him a while to realize that Cheng Wenwen had agreed to be with him.
Qi Shuo suddenly laughed out loud.
When Song Jiang heard his general's laughter outside, he couldn't help but laugh too. He guessed in his heart that this must be because Miss Cheng had agreed to the general's proposal.
General, this is a case of waiting for the clouds to clear and the moon to appear.
Qi Shuo sat at the table, looked at his pile of official business, dealt with it quickly, and then asked Song Jiang to go to the military camp to hand it over to Sun Yuan. He himself could think about where to ask Cheng Wenwen to go out for fun.
Qi Shuo thought about it again and again, and then he remembered something. He quickly got up, went to Cheng Wenwen's house and knocked on her door.
At this moment, Cheng Wenwen and Pei'er were still awake. Pei'er heard the sound and went to open the door. The moment she saw Qi Shuo, she couldn't help but think of what happened that night. She opened the door and asked, "General, why did you come here so late at night?"
Qi Shuo peeked inside through the crack in the door, then said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything. I'm sober now. Can you ask your young lady to come out? I'll ask her a few words and then leave."
Pei'er questioned it for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Then General, please wait a moment. I will go ask the young lady."
After Pei'er finished speaking, she closed the door to be on the safe side.
Qi Shuo didn't care about these details, he was just waiting anxiously for Cheng Wenwen to come out.
Pei'er immediately ran into the room and described Qi Shuo's condition, saying, "Miss, the general wants to see you. He said he would just say a few words. He seems to be relatively normal now, so he should not have taken the Chinese medicine!"
Cheng Wenwen couldn't help but find it funny after listening to Pei'er's last few words. Ever since Qi Shuo gave her Chinese medicine last time, Pei'er hadn't returned and had been a little wary of Qi Shuo coming to see her.
Cheng Wenwen listened to Pei'er and went out to meet him.
Qi Shuo had only waited for a while, but because he was a little anxious, he felt that time was passing very slowly, as if the time had been stretched specially for him, and the waiting time became longer.
When Qi Shuo heard the sound of the door opening, he quickly looked up. When he saw that it was Cheng Wenwen who opened the door, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Wenwen saw him and asked, "What did you come to talk to me about?"
Qi Shuo just remembered and said quickly: "I want to ask you to go to Qingyuan Mountain tomorrow to watch the sunset, is that okay?"
After hearing this, Cheng Wenwen thought for a while and then asked, "Then we can't go back to the city?"
"There is a temple on the mountain. We can stay there for one night and come back the next day to watch the sunrise."
Qi Shuo had already thought about it. Watching such beautiful scenery as sunrise and sunset would certainly be wonderful.
Cheng Wenwen had indeed not been in contact with nature for a long time, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
When Qi Shuo heard her agree, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and said, "Then we'll set off tomorrow afternoon!"
"Okay!" Cheng Wenwen continued to nod.
