Beauty has a disease

Chapter 61

"You are reckless."

The same place, the same person, and the same chessboard, Duan Chang shook his sleeves after holding the chess piece, tapped the table rhythmically with his fingertips little by little.

"What grandfather said, Ember knows it's wrong."

Duan Chang glanced at Ember, and snorted, "It's quicker for you to admit your mistake."

"Admit when you do something wrong, there is nothing to argue with."

Just don't change it, Duan Chang thought.

Duan Chang hummed, and asked, "Do you know what consequences will be brought about by your actions at the princess's flower viewing banquet?"

"It's nothing more than a few things." Ember settled down, eyes fixed on the chessboard, "The most intuitive thing is my reputation."

It's just rumors that she doesn't know the rules and don't pay attention to etiquette, and her reputation is damaged. She has never cared about her reputation. Besides, even though she manages her reputation carefully, it is too thin. During the years she was away, if she was picked up by someone with a heart, Reputation collapses in an instant and ceases to exist.

"I know you are successful." Duan Chang said, "Then tell me what you think?"

Duan Chang simply threw the chess piece back, and looked at Ember with his hands back, with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Ember also withdrew her hand, but she didn't raise her head to meet Duan Chang's gaze, her eyes kept falling on the half-full chessboard, with unknown emotions floating up and down in her eyes.

Ember said: "Fame is nothing more than that, the most afraid of rumors, and rumors are the most uncontrollable things, no one can predict how it will go."

"But you can intervene." Duan Chang said.

"That's right." Ember nodded in agreement.

Just like what Zhan Shuyun said lightly, which seemed to be a warning and an explanation, he found an excuse for the scar on her hand.

This is the result of human intervention.

"But what can fame be used for?" Ember asked and answered, "A good reputation can be respected by others, it can help people when they are down, and it can even make a career. From this point of view, reputation is a good thing."

"But its limitations are too great. These are more useful to men. Fame is for women. It can be used to find relatives when they are married. After leaving the court, fame is the icing on the cake for the husband. For women themselves , the reputation is too illusory."

Ember paused, raised her hand to pick up the chess pieces on the chessboard, one by one, without rushing.

"It's too empty, I don't need this thing."

"Instead of gaining fame, I think a full meal and a moment of stability are worth more than it."

Duan Chang: "You are a woman after all, and you will always marry someone."

slam-la-

A chess piece fell into the chess basket, Ember raised her eyes, and asked, "Is the only meaning I have is the value of being married?"

"It's not a matter of value." Duan Chang explained: "Even if my Duan family is not in the vulgar world, you can break the shackles and shackles that the world places on women, but people's words are terrible. Three people become tigers, and rumors kill people. Blood Blade."

Ember twitched the corners of her mouth, "Grandfather, when rumors kill someone, the first person has to care, but rumors are the least of my fears."

"I am so generous, what can the world do to me?"

Duan Chang looked at the embers at this moment, he obviously did not act out of line, he was still sitting upright, his every move was respectful, but he uttered lies, his eyes shone with an unknown light, shining brightly.

Although Duan Chang always knew that Yu Jin was not as well-behaved as she showed, but after seeing her today, he knew that all of her previous appearances were all illusions, like a dummy bound in rope.

Don't hesitate?
Duan Chang smacked this description in his heart, and found it quite interesting, "Then how do you treat it?"

how is it?

"I don't want to marry." Ember said bluntly.

"Although I have never participated in a banquet, the flower viewing banquet for me is mostly a blind date banquet. The people invited are all people of the right age with names and surnames in Beijing or who have recently entered Beijing. Logically speaking, I should not be able to go, but I among them."

Duan Chang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Did you guess it?"

"Almost." Ember nodded and said, "Although grandfather never told me, but the Zhan family hasn't come to propose marriage for a long time, presumably something went wrong, which made this marriage go wrong."

There are not many people who can intervene in Duan and Zhan's two families. As for who it is, Ember doesn't even bother to guess, it doesn't matter.

"So it's harmless to show some rudeness appropriately. It's always a way to calm down and stop staring at me."

This is not embers being self-indulgent, but the truth.

Ember doesn't think how good she is, how much the wives of these aristocratic families think of her, but she is indeed a favorite, and it all depends on the Duan family's power and status, not that they have taken a fancy to her.

"Besides, I'm a cripple, so what's there to argue about?"

"Are you a cripple?!"

Cui Shexi whispered from far to near, he ran over to Ember, grabbed him, "Why are you crippled?"

Duan Chang coughed twice before Cui Shexi realized that his behavior was very inappropriate, so he let go of his hands embarrassingly. He greeted Duan Chang very casually, and then looked at Ember, his eyes flickering, wondering if it was true or not. Xie was still the light of gossip, he pointed to Ember's left hand and asked, "Is it your hand?"

Before Ember could think about how to answer, Cui Shexi asked again: "How did you hurt your hand?"

"Was it when you were in the bandit village? No, you had this scar on your wrist back then."

"The younger sister in the bandit village is you!"

"You saved me, I should repay you, how do you want me to repay you?"

"How about... a promise with your body?"

Cui Shexi asked questions repeatedly, and at the end of the "promise with your body", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that it was very feasible, "I'm serious, your blind date party messed me up, I put myself How about paying you?"

"Look, we are about the same age. I am good-looking, and you are also good-looking. In the future, our children will also be good-looking..."

Duan Chang took a sip of the tea and spit it out, Duan Qingrong and Cui Xuan who came not far away were stunned, while Yu Jin didn't recover for a while.

"Cui Shexi!"

Seeing Duan Qingrong's complexion getting darker and darker, Cui Xuan suddenly scolded: "Hugh, you're being rude!"

Cui Shexi turned her head back, "Brother, you are here. It just so happens that you think I proposed marriage to Miss Duan..."

Cui Xuan's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he interrupted, "Shut up!"

"Brother, I..."

"Cui Du!"

Cui Shexi immediately shut up.

Everyone called him by his name, so the elder brother was naturally very angry.

Cui Xuan controlled his anger, stepped forward and saluted, and confessed: "My brother is talking nonsense, I will apologize to Mr. Ge and Miss on his behalf."

Duan Chang waved his hand, saying nothing happened.

Before Ember could speak, Duan Qingrong stepped forward and pulled Cui Shexi away, and said coldly, "Second Young Master Cui is so rude."

He pushed Cui Shexi towards Cui Xuan, and stood in front of Ember to block him, "Although I don't know how little sister and you have saved your life, Second Young Master Cui, please don't take revenge."
