In his past and present life, Xue Shao never called himself a master of picking up girls, but since he became an adult, he had almost never been embarrassed in front of women.

But now facing Yu Hongye, he was about to talk about the marriage, and he felt embarrassed or uneasy.

Ten years!

How many decades does a person's life have?

How many decades can a woman spend in her life?

Although Xue Shao never made any promises to Yu Hongye, Yu Hongye has never gotten married, and has not even been reported to any man.:::: Novel 3

Xue Shao actually knew her feelings. He had known them for a long time.

At this moment, Xue Shao didn't know what Yu Hongye was thinking. But he knew that he was not qualified to talk about marriage with Yu Hongye. Because in the past ten years, he had almost never expressed his love for her, nor had he really cared about her. To put it **, Yu Hongye was a money-making machine under his command; even if he wanted to put it nicely, he was just a business partner.

Xue Shao doesn't like to talk nonsense, but his eloquence is never bad. But today, it's still difficult for him to speak.

Yu Hongye's tea was almost cooked, and Xue Shao was sitting on his forehead, staring blankly at the vaguely jumping flames in the furnace, ecstasy.

Yuenu and Yu Hongye secretly exchanged glances with each other. What happened to the young master today?

"Yuenu, go and see your son." Xue Shao finally found a sentence and said.

"Oh..." Yue Nu responded blankly and stood up and walked out. When she arrived at the door, she hesitated for a while, but still didn't close the door.

What if this makes Young Master and Yu Hongye even more embarrassed?

Xue Shao let out a sigh of relief. This stupid girl is sometimes quite clever.

"Mr. Xue, please use tea." Yu Hongye handed the cooked tea to Xue Shao's table.

"Yes." Xue Shao took the tea and took a sip, "Good tea."

There is nothing to say.

Yu Hongye was not embarrassed at all, but was very calm and free and easy, and smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Xue today, quiet?"

"I..." Xue Shao blinked and dragged a long voice, and there was no further text.

"Why don't we talk about the mine?" Yu Hongye took the initiative to raise the topic.

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, made up his mind and said, "I want to ask you something else."

"Mr. Xue, please speak." Yu Hongye smiled and was very calm.

"You..." Xue Shao dragged another long voice, but he didn't dare to look at her and said, "Have you ever thought about getting married?"

The following sentence is said very quickly.

"What?"

It was so dying that Yu Hongye actually asked back. Xue Shao felt more and more embarrassed, so he had to say, "I'm asking, have you ever thought about getting married?"

This time I spoke very slowly, almost word by word.

"Of course I've thought about it." Yu Hongye smiled, "I'm not a person from the side, how can I not want to get married?"

"Then you..." Xue Shao dragged his voice again, "Do you have a suitable partner?"

"No." Yu Hongye shook his head decisively.

Xue Shao felt a little nervous: I won’t forget to say so?

"Why did Mr. Xue suddenly ask about this?" Yu Hongye asked back.

"Nothing..." Xue Shao's eyes flashed a little. This made him feel that he was really bad enough and that he had ruined his entire life's reputation here.

"Actually, I am a very ambitious person." Yu Hongye suddenly said.

"What?" Xue Shao was stunned and asked back.

Yu Hongye smiled slightly. She knew that Xue Shao had heard it clearly, so she continued: "I never thought that one day I would make so much money and make so many high-ranking officials and nobles. I never thought of marrying into a famous family and winning a noble family."

"Then what do you want?" Xue Shao asked seriously.

Yu Hongye said with a smile: "My ancestors of the Yu family have been merchants for several generations, very ordinary businessmen. I am just an ordinary woman, without ambition and a small wealth, and never had unrealistic fantasies. If it weren't for the sudden death of my father, I would have married and had children long ago, and I would have lived my life in peace since then. Just like my mother was when she was young."

"In this way, I've hurt you..." Xue Shao did not use a question, but sighed.

"No." Yu Hongye smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Xue's appearance changed my life, but it did not change my ambitions. Yu Hongye is still Yu Hongye back then. She has no ambitions or fantasies. She only hopes that one day, she can marry an ordinary man and have an ordinary home like thousands of ordinary women, and live a simple life of taking care of her husband and children. In this life, there will be no ups and downs, no great sorrow and joy. Calm, warm; ordinary, satisfied."

With eight words, Xue Shao heard all her heart.

"I get it." he said.

"What does Mr. Xue know?" Yu Hongye asked with a smile.

"Nothing." Xue Shao smiled, "Give me another cup of tea."

"good."

After drinking three cups of tea in a row, Xue Shao left.

When Yue Nu came back, she was surprised to see Xue Shao not here and asked Yu Hongye what had happened just now.

Yu Hongye said, nothing.

"Nothing?" Yue Nu was stunned. These were probably the three most difficult words in the world!

Xue Shao returned to the master bedroom, lay down on his back, pillowed his head with his hands, and let out a long sigh.

He actually felt a slight relief.

Princess Taiping followed him in. Seeing his expression, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xue Shao said, "Don't mention Yu Hongye's marriage again in the future."

Princess Taiping was shocked, "You really messed up?"

"I didn't mess it up." Xue Shao sat up and said seriously, "I'm not suitable for her at all! Don't let it go, just make a random match!"

"What, I'm going to make a spouse?!" Princess Taiping was almost happy, "If you hadn't been merciless everywhere and caused some romantic debts, why would I do this?"

"Okay, I'm wrong." Xue Shaoyi stepped forward and lay down again, still pillowing his head with both hands and closing his eyes. "Anyway, don't mention this again in the future."

Princess Taiping was puzzled and hurriedly asked what had happened?

Xue Shao didn't want to say it at first, but she asked repeatedly, and briefly told her what she had just talked to him.

"Stupid!" Princess Taiping slapped him in the chest after hearing this, "What are you running away if you don't finish listening? Go back and ask again!"

"No!" Xue Shao was so shameless, "Do you still think I'm not embarrassing enough?"

"Xue Lang, what's the point of telling me to tell you?" Princess Taiping sighed and lay beside him and patiently advised, "Everyone will have dreams in his heart. But there will always be a gap between dreams and reality. To be honest, I was not the one you wanted to marry at the beginning. Aren't you?"

Xue Shao blinked mutely, and this seemed to be quite correct...

"Okay, I guessed it!"

"Don't! Calm, calm!" Xue Shao smiled bitterly and quickly grabbed her, "Talk about the serious business, tell the serious business."

Princess Taiping glared at Xue Shao a few times, but she was still patient, and continued: "Yu Hongye told you about her thoughts, proving that she is opening her heart to you, which is a good sign. Why are you acting so unlucky? She retreated in shame just after hearing a bad sign?"

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "I...I always feel that I can't speak that!"

"Xue Lang, this is not your usual style!" Princess Taiping said coldly, "When did the dignified Young Master Lantian admit his timidity in front of a woman?"

"Today is different from the past!" Xue Shao's mouth was very hard.

"It's indeed different." Princess Taiping said, "Even if Mr. Lantian is good at having fun, he is unrestrained and does not have to be responsible to anyone, nor does he have to care about anyone's vision and evaluation. But now you are the prince consort of Princess Taiping and the father of several children, the Duke of Zhao, who is the first-ranked title, or a hero who is famous all over the world. You have any concerns!"

"It's not just a scruple..." Xue Shao sighed, "I'm always thinking, what qualifications do I have to marry Yu Hongye?"

Princess Taiping was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"She is a good woman. She has plenty of opportunities to choose." Xue Shao said calmly, "To be honest, I don't want to harm her."

"Has it?" Princess Taiping was a little annoyed when she heard this word, "When you say this, you have hurt me for ten years? How can I settle the score with you?"

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "No, it doesn't mean that! At least, no, it doesn't mean the same!"

"Oh, you're stuttering! How nervous are you?" Princess Taiping said coldly, "I think you're just thinking too much."

"I really think too much," Xue Shao said, "To be honest, if Yu Hongye was a frivolous woman, I would definitely marry her without hesitation, and even use some despicable means. But the problem is... I am really afraid of harming her!"

"Why did you hurt her?" Princess Taiping was puzzled, and even a little annoyed, "I, Linlang, Yuenu, Chen Xian'er, Shangguan Wan'er, even Xuan Yunzi and Aiyan, how did you harm us? What did you say?"

"..." Xue Shao was silent for a while, sighed softly, and said, "I have hurt each of you."

"You make it clear?"

Xue Shao said: "Which woman doesn't want her man to treat herself with concentration? I can't split myself into countless pieces, and each person will share a little bit of you. So many times, I can't help but favor one and the other. Even if this is not what I want in my heart, I will do it like this without realizing it. When I was young, I didn't think anything was there, because my main energy was all in my career and military. As I grew older, I got more and more things, and now my career and military career are almost at the peak. Sometimes I often can't help but think, are all the things I get? There is a saying, one general has achieved success and thousands of bones of thousands of people. Can I reach the height of today, how many people's bones have I stepped on? Should I be glad, proud, guilty, and panic?"

"..." Princess Taiping fell into silence. She stared at Xue Shao quietly, and suddenly felt that the man in front of her was really not easy to live. How many struggles and hardships have he experienced in the past ten years? How much pain and unbearable has he carried in his heart?

"God is actually fair." Xue Shao said, "The more a person gets, the more he loses. After he has been idle recently, I often can't help but think of many past events and many old friends. For example, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty is your father, my teacher Pei Gong, old general Li Jinxing and his adopted son Niu Ben, Cheng Wuting Wang Fangyi, Gu Dulu Mochuo and even Pei Yan, Yuanzhen and I killed himself. What have they gained in their lives and lost, or what are they pursuing?"

"What do you want to do this?" Princess Taiping asked in confusion.

"How can I not think about it?" Xue Shao said, "I am just like them, all of them are part of history. They are also men."

Princess Taiping blinked, "What does this have to do with Yu Hongye?"

"It's a big deal." Xue Shao let out a long sigh to relieve his emotions, was silent for a moment, and then said: "For men, the most unwilling thing to live up to and cannot be owed the most is the great country and the beauty of his confidant."

Princess Taiping fell into silence again. She seemed to understand Xue Shao's intentions. He did not dislike Yu Hongye, nor did he not want to marry her. He was afraid that he could not give Yu Hongye the life she wanted and the love she wanted.
