Cannon fodder daily

Chapter 30 My General Cousin 04
Early the next morning, Chu Chu got up to prepare for the banquet scheduled for the evening, bathed, burned incense, put on make-up and changed clothes.

This banquet is the birthday party of Princess Yuanfeng, the third daughter of the Holy Majesty, so the main character is Princess Yuanfeng. Chu Chu did not choose overly flamboyant clothes and jewelry. Not suitable for overly flamboyant and bright dresses.

By the time Chu Chu finished dressing, the time was almost up. Although in ancient times there was a saying that girls had the right to be late, as a woman who loved Wenling wholeheartedly, she naturally would not keep him waiting, let alone when they were not together yet. Failure to be punctual is a demerit.

Chuchu finally confirmed in front of the mirror that her make-up and clothes were all right, then she got up and said, "Let's go, cousin should be waiting."

Hua Rong said with a smile: "It's still early, Miss, don't worry."

As she said that, she looked Chu Chu up and down, and said in admiration: "Miss is indeed a natural beauty, after such careful dressing, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is stunningly beautiful."

"You are the only one who can talk." Chu Chujiao gave Huarong a look, and then looked at Moonlight who was watching her silently with a smile in her eyes.

Of Yun Chuchu's two maidservants, one is shrewd and sweet-talking, and the other is taciturn and capable. Yun Chuchu naturally likes to often praise her for making her happy, but she prefers the indifferent and tranquil temperament of Yueguang, because the most Loyal people often don't show it with their mouths, but remember it silently in their hearts.

It's not that her beauty is not good, but that radish and green vegetables have their own loves. Although she is Yun Chuchu's skin, her soul comes from the modern Chuchu.

Today's weather is rare and clear. The heavy snow has finally stopped, the sky has returned to a clear blue color, and the temperature has also turned back. It is not so cold.

When Chu Chu came to Li Shangxuan, Wen Ling was reading a book in the study. There was a pot of steaming tea in front of the table. He heard the knock on the door, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and when Wen Ling saw that it was Chu Chu, he was taken aback, he thought he would have to wait for a while.

"Cousin, have you been waiting for a long time?" Chu Chu approached and said with a smile.

Wen Ling shook his head: "You came just in time."

As soon as the words were finished, Chu Chu suddenly moved closer to straighten Wen Ling's collar. Wen Ling froze, and just about to stop her, she heard Chu Chu say, "How do servants do things? They haven't even straightened the collar properly."

Wen Ling pursed his lips, and replied: "After all, he is a man, after all, he is not as careful as a girl."

After hearing this, Chu Chu raised her eyebrows: "So, the people who help my cousin get dressed and go to bed are all men?"

"Well, I don't like women getting close to me."

Chu Chu felt inexplicably happy, she smiled and said, "Then I offended my cousin just now?"

Wen Ling raised her eyes to look at the bright eyes of the person in front of her who was full of a smile. In her memory, she seemed to seldom smile so happily. Why was she so happy?

Although he didn't know why, it didn't prevent him from feeling a little bit happier. He shook his head: "Not really."

"Wenling's favorability has increased by 5, and the current favorability is 60."

Chuchu was slightly surprised when she heard the notice from the favorability system. Why did the favorability value that had been frozen for a long time suddenly rise, just because of an action to tidy up her collar?

But in any case, this is a good thing. Originally, she was struggling with how to break Wen Ling's inherent notion that Wen Ling's feelings for her were just care and love for his cousin. Now, without her having to worry too much, he subconsciously changed his feelings towards her. position.

"Let's go." Wen Ling looked out the window and said to Chu Chu.

"En." Chu Chu responded.

After arriving outside the gate of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Wen, who was about to get into the carriage, smiled when she saw the two walking side by side, and joked, "No wonder Chuchu doesn't want to attend the ceremony with her aunt. That's why."

Chuchu lowered her head shyly: "Aunt~"

Old Mrs. Wen shook her head dotingly: "Forget it, I'm also more sensible. Make room for you young people, but you must take good care of it, Chuchu."

After finishing speaking, he took a meaningful look at Chuchu and got into the carriage.

Chu Chu, who followed in another carriage, secretly looked at Wen Ling beside him, but saw that he still had his usual calm and rigorous expression, and he was not at all fluctuated by Mrs. Wen's words.

She bit her lip in frustration, and Wenling, who noticed her change in mood, glanced sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Chu shook her head, and immediately looked out the window with a dazed expression.

Wen Ling looks at Chu Chu from time to time, but sees her looking out preoccupied, without noticing his scrutiny at all.

Why does he care so much about her mood?Wen Ling fell into deep thought.

When they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, they walked through the palaces and palaces all the way, and finally the carriage staggered to the Zhengde Hall where the banquet was held.

Chu Chu, who was following Wen Ling, was arranged on the right side of Wen Ling's seat. As soon as she took the seat, she attracted the attention of many young talents.

In addition to young talents, there were also some high-ranking daughters who looked at her and whispered to each other. Chu Chu naturally knew what they were talking about.

I don't know her identity. It means who this woman is and why she is sitting next to General Wen. Those who know her identity mean that this is the orphan girl whose parents died and took refuge in Wen's family. What does she look like? , how is the temperament Barabas.

Wen Ling, as a new dignitary in the capital, not only holds a lot of power, but also looks handsome, and is clean around him, and there are no beauties around him. He is naturally an ideal husband candidate for many rich ladies, so it is expected that he will get so much attention.

And that frequent scrutinizing gaze was naturally within Chu Chu's expectation.

As soon as Shen Yu appeared in Wenling, his gaze was fixed on him. It had been a few days since he had seen him, but his calm demeanor remained unchanged, but there seemed to be some slight changes.

When Wen Ling turned her head and listened to the graceful woman in the pale blue brocade jacket, she suddenly understood what had changed.

In the past, Wenling only saw the people and soldiers of Duanze, for whom he fought bloody and fearlessly on the battlefield of impermanence, but now there is another person in his eyes, a charming and charming woman .

Shen Yu stood up and the maid beside him asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"

Shen Yu replied lightly: "I see an old friend, go and say hello."

As he spoke, he walked towards Wenling not far away.

Seeing Shen Yu approaching, Chu Chu asked Wen Ling strangely: "Does that gorgeously dressed woman know her cousin?"

Wen Ling followed Chu Chu's gaze, and the moment he saw Shen Yu, his expression shook.

All the changes in Wen Ling's expression fell into Shen Yu's eyes, and she felt comforted in her heart, see, at least she has a special place in Wen Ling's heart.That's why she won't give up just because he has another woman by his side.

"General Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss him?" Shen Yu smiled and frowned.

Wen Ling stood up slowly: "...Shen Yu?"

"Yes, that's me. Looking at the general, he seems surprised."

"Naturally surprised, I never thought that you are actually a daughter."

Shen Yu picked up a glass of wine, bowed slightly to Wenling, and immediately drank it down. Her face was full of youthful ease and cheerfulness. These qualities appeared in a woman who should be weak and decent, blooming a different kind of elegance .

"Although the gender has changed, Shen Yu is still the same Shen Yu. If you have time in the future, if you ask the general out for a drink, you are not allowed to refuse."

Wen Ling is not those rigid old stubborn, he smiled with relief: "Naturally."

Shen Yu took one last look at the side and lowered his head, unable to see clearly, and then left.

Maybe she was worrying too much, since Wen Ling was indifferent to those ladies who showed him all kinds of courtesies in the past, how could he fall in love with such a woman who is no different from those ladies now.

Wen Ling sat down again, and found that Chu Chu was drinking the wine on the table non-stop, glass after glass, as if the wine was just ordinary water, he said helplessly: "You are seriously drunk."

Chu Chu looked up at Wen Ling, without saying a word.

Wen Ling was startled suddenly, because Chu Chu's eyes were red and tears were about to fall, he said anxiously: "What's wrong?"

Chu Chu smiled sadly, did not answer his question, but said: "Cousin, I feel a little uncomfortable, can you send me back?"

After speaking, he fell on Wen Ling, Wen Ling quickly caught her, and then smelled the strong smell of alcohol on her body, he frowned, apologized to the above, explained the reason, and took Chu Chu out of the banquet.

After the carriage arrived at the General's Mansion, Wen Ling carried Chu Chu back to Shuiyun Pavilion. He put the drunk Chu Chu on the bed, and told Hua Rong and Moonlight behind him, "Go and make some hangover soup."

The two left under orders, only Chu Chu and Wen Ling were left in the room.

Wen Ling looked at the girl whose cheeks were smudged with tender pink, and was slightly lost in thought. He should have left now and let his servants take care of her, but why couldn't he just leave her and leave like this.

Wen Ling was distracted when he heard the murmur of the girl beside him.

He lowered his eyes to look, and he really saw her frowning slightly, her red lips slightly parted, revealing half of her white teeth, and she was talking about something.

"……cousin"

calling him?
It was rare for Wen Ling to be curious, he leaned over to get closer, trying to hear what the girl said.

"No, don't smile at her... I obviously like my cousin the most..."

"I always look at my cousin's back. I feel so sad... I'm so afraid that one day my cousin will be farther and farther away from me..."

After hearing this, Wen Ling's mind was completely shaken, and Chu Chu actually liked him!

No wonder...

All the things he didn't understand became clear at this moment, so Chu Chu always blushed suddenly at him, so she was preoccupied in the carriage today, so she kept drinking herself after Shen Yu appeared.

*
When Moonlight came in with hangover soup, she found that Wen Ling had disappeared from the room, and her own lady was still lying on the bed with an extra quilt on her body.

Without thinking too much, she helped Chuchu get up, fed her hangover soup, changed her clothes, wiped her face, then turned off the lights and went out.

Chu Chu opened her eyes only when the surroundings were completely silent, and there was a sly light shining in the eyes in the darkness.

At the same time, the favorability system fell into collapse.

"Wenling's favorability has dropped by 2, so..."

"Wenling's favorability has dropped by 1, and the current favorability is 57."

"Wenling's favorability has increased by 6, and the current favorability is 63."

"........."

Favorability fluctuated, and finally stopped at 75, and finally did not change.

Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief. Although letting Wen Ling know that her feelings for him were not what he thought, it might make Wen Ling avoid her, or even reduce her affection, but it made Wen Ling realize that he and her are not just cousins. It could also be that the pleasing relationship between a man and a woman is the only way to a successful strategy, and she has to do this. Even if the favorability value drops, she just needs to refresh it like in the previous world.

However, Wen Ling's favorability value increased instead of falling, which surprised her and made her very happy.It seems that this mission has been mostly successful. For the next strategy, she only needs to follow her heart and let nature take its course.

Because the stone in her heart fell, Chu Chu slept very soundly this time, compared to her, Wen Ling was sleepless all night.

He went from Chuchu actually liking him, why he likes him, and why he can't like him, to the fact that he doesn't seem to be disgusted. If Chuchu married him, he would feel happy. Could it be that he also likes Chuchu.
