Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

A night of indulgence made Wu Shigong sleep quite soundly.After stretching under the quilt refreshedly, Wu Shigong turned to face Carelli who brought him endless joy last night.

Carelli was already awake, she was also looking at Wu Shigong with wide eyes, both of them could feel each other's breath.At this time, Wu Shigong felt a little ashamed.Remembering that he seemed to be a little rough last night, Wu Shigong thought of saying some comforting words to Carelli.

But Wu Shigong suddenly remembered that Carelli didn't understand Chinese, so he was a little embarrassed, maybe he was gesturing at this time?How to make the gesture of "You just broke your body, just take a day off!"

Carelli stared at Wu Shigong without blinking. Seeing Wu Shigong moving her lips and scratching her scalp, she suddenly smiled and said to Wu Shigong in correct Mandarin, "Merry Christmas!"

Wu Shigong replied subconsciously: "Merry Christmas!" Then he trembled all over with fright, pointing at Carelli, speechless.

"So you can talk!" Wu Shigong didn't care about the language in his words, and he cried out in surprise after a while.

Seeing Wu Shigong's funny behavior, Carelli couldn't help but burst out laughing.Wu Shigong was stunned by the appearance that seemed to be like a blooming flower.This naive girl's troubles are gone so quickly!

As a fan of the Ming Dynasty, how could Carelli not learn Chinese?And because Carelli is also very talented in languages, and Sun Yuanhua personally arranged the husband of the professor at that time, so among these Portuguese, Carelli actually speaks Chinese the best.

And Wu Shigong is wondering now.Today's day has just entered the twelfth lunar month, why is it mixed with Christmas again?After thinking about it, the Ming Dynasty used the lunar calendar, and the days of the lunar calendar are about one month different from the Gregorian calendar.So it would make sense if it was Christmas.However, wasn't Christmas Eve yesterday?This Christmas Eve is really memorable!

As if resigned to fate, Carelli raised her head slightly, looked at Wu Shigong expectantly and asked, "Will you marry me as your wife?"

Wu Shigong felt that his lips were a little dry, he couldn't bear to hit this innocent Spanish girl, but Wu Shigong didn't want to lie to her.After hesitating for a while, Wu Shigong decided to tell the truth: "I already have a wife."

Carelli's eyelids drooped immediately, and she looked quite depressed, she said to herself, "It looks like I'm going to be your mistress."

Wu Shigong reached out and hugged Carelli in his arms.Carelli curled up like a kitten.Wu Shigong kissed her bun and said: "According to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, I can marry many wives."

As if he had come out of a desperate situation, Carelli immediately raised his head, kissed Wu Shigong's face excitedly with bright eyes, and then asked with some worry: "Then will you marry me?"

Carelli came from the West to the East.After staying in the East for such a long time, I actually know that I am in the East.Men can marry many wives.So it is not very demanding that the marriage with Wu Shigong be monogamous.

Now Carelli is in a foreign land, and among the aliens.There is no news of my uncle again.This, coupled with the previous year-long internment, also saw war and rebellion.So suffering from psychological torture, Carelli, who was only 17 years old, wanted to find a big tree to rely on.

Although Wu Shigong didn't ask for Carelli's opinion at all last night, Carelli also resigned to his fate.In fact, in the western war at that time, the woman who lost the battle.It will also become the spoils of the victor, and at most it will be more polite to noble women.But just be polite.It is not like what was described in later Western works. The war is full of chivalry.After all, wars are ugly.

And for Carelli.She was captured by Kong Youde's rebels, and Wu Shigong could not be blamed at that time, and it was Wu Shigong who rescued her from the rebels.So after the initial grievance, Carelli wanted to make peace with the situation.

"I will marry." Wu Shigong replied affirmatively.

"Then do you believe in God?" Carelli asked again.Family origin makes Carelli a very devout Catholic.

Wu Shigong smiled and shook his head.

Carelli felt a little regretful, and then persuaded without discouragement: "Then can you believe in God? You are a general, and it is very dangerous on the battlefield. Just believe in God, and God will bless you."

Looking at Carelli's innocent eyes that day, Wu Shigong couldn't bear to hurt her anymore: "We Ming people pay attention to worshiping every temple. That is to say, we will worship any god. As long as it is a good god, We'll all be religious."

"But! But!..." Carelli blinked anxiously, not knowing how to explain it to Wu Shigong. Carelli, who was educated in the teachings of the "Bible" since childhood, can flexibly accept polygamy, but she cannot accept it. Polytheism.

"Okay!" Wu Shigong patted Carelli's little head lovingly, and said, "Let someone with great wisdom explain these problems."

Carelli seemed relieved all of a sudden, and she said: "My uncle, Father Carrera, will definitely explain it clearly. But you are a good person at first glance, and God will bless you."

Wu Shigong was choked immediately, coughing repeatedly while holding Carelli.Wu Shigong thought to himself: "Fortunately, this good person card finally came late!"

Carelli immediately caressed Wu Shigong's chest up and down anxiously, comforting Wu Shigong.

Outside the big tent came the noise of the morning exercise at Runing Camp.Wu Shigong suddenly realized that he was snoozing.But today he was with Carelli, and none of the guards dared to come in and wake him up.

As soon as Wu Shigong's waist and abdomen were exerted, he wanted to get up, but he felt that Carelli's little hand was tightly grasping his arm, and there was a reluctant look on his face again.

So Wu Shigong smiled and lay down, and said to Carelli, "Then I will stay with you for a while." Hearing this, Carelli also hid in Wu Shigong's arms with some embarrassment.

Wu Shigong stroked Carelli's hair and asked, "What's your name?"

"Carelli. But my full name is very long." Then Carelli announced a long list of words, which made Wu Shigong dizzy.

After listening, Wu Shigong couldn't wait to say: "I still call you Carelli. My name is Wu Shigong. I am a capital of the Ming Dynasty. But our Ming Dynasty also has its own rules. I will teach you when the time comes." .”

Seeing Wu Shigong's appearance, Carelli burst out laughing again, then her eyes widened, and she pleaded with Wu Shigong: "Second Lieutenant Gonzalez and the others are very good people, just let them go, General." them."

Wu Shigong gently scratched Carelli's nose, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with me here? Besides, I won't make it difficult for them. You try to persuade them to stay. This battle is over. I will marry you when the battle is over."

……

The whole morning, Wu Shigong and Carelli chatted in the big tent.And Yang Rusong also found two maids and women's clothes for Carelli.Carelli was very curious about everything about the Ming Dynasty, and kept asking questions about various aspects.Of course, among all the questions, she was most concerned about Wu Shigong's family situation, and Wu Shigong knew everything about it.

After lunch, Carelli immediately volunteered to persuade Gonzalez and the others to stay as Wu Shigong's wife.From the looks of it, this girl's extroversion is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Wu Shigong thought that this persuasion must be very difficult.So Wu Shigong was prepared that if the persuasion was unsuccessful, he would ignore Carelli's sadness and forcibly keep Gonzalez and others.

But what I didn't expect was that Carelli's persuasion went quite smoothly, and people like Gonzalez were willing to stay.And they also agreed that the previous commissions would not need to be paid by the Runing Camp, and they would receive the corresponding military salary according to the official positions assigned to them by the Runing Camp.

Wu Shigong was quite curious about this result.He asked Carelli, "What did you tell Gonzalez and the others?"

Carelli triumphantly held up the hem of her skirt and bowed to Wu Shigong, tilted her head mischievously and said, "I just told them: General, you belong to the Marquis's family, so they rushed to agree!"

Wu Shigong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought Carelli was joking, and he didn't believe Carelli's words at all.But Wu Shigong didn't know that Carelli didn't lie at all, she really said so.

Any woman will show off her husband's noble status, and so is Carelli.When Carelli persuaded Gonzalez and them, he focused on explaining Wu Shigong's blood and identity.

What bloodline and identity?Carelli introduced to Gonzalez and the others: Wu Shigong's father is a Marquis; Wu Shigong's father-in-law is also a Marquis; Wu Shigong's eldest brother will become a Marquis; Wu Shigong's son will also become a Marquis.Anyway, Wu Shigong was surrounded by the Marquis.So, is Wu Shigong's noble lineage and identity still doubtful?

In fact, it is equivalent to the princes and generals in China. Ning has a kind of saying that the West respects nobles with noble blood more.And Carelli's introduction also made people like Gonzalez think of Wu Shigong as a marquis.

But these are not the most important thing, the most important thing is: everything introduced by Carelli is introduced in Portuguese.And it was this introduction that completely touched the hearts of Portuguese officers like Gonzalez. (To be continued..)
