Section 5 Visitors

"Auntie, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask."

"What kind of person I was in the past? What kind of person in your eyes?" He stared at the old woman in front of him.

A trace of haze appeared on the old woman's forehead, and it disappeared quickly like the clouds floating on the wheat fields in August. But no matter how fast it was, Ashu Rufate saw it.

"I'm hard to judge," replied Aunt Mary. "But you are a pretty guy. I think my two nieces should accept it."

"But...they two... don't seem to like me." Ashu Rufat answered seriously. "I understand their feelings, such a fiance who jumped out... because of a engagement they have no right to decide..."

"No, actually, this is because of another reason." A trace of surprise flashed in the old woman's eyes. She slowly felt that the man exuded a temperament, an inexplicable attractive temperament. Although he didn't look special, he could feel his uniqueness after spending a little longer. It was not a disguise, but a style that was revealed in every word and action without realizing it. She looked at the man carefully again, and suddenly realized the arrogant and unruly in his heart. Even if he lost his memory, even if everything was erased, this thing that originated from nature and the most essential thing in the heart of human beings was still the same.

“There is another reason?”

The old woman stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside. She changed her mood on the surface, but in fact she wanted to avoid the feeling that made her breathless. The window of this room was facing the garden of the house. However, like most rural residences, the garden was not well maintained. The grass was not neatly grown, and it was far from exquisite and beautiful. It might not matter at a rough look, but it could not withstand repeated careful reading.

"This engagement..." The old woman looked out the window for several seconds before she began to say. "This engagement was decided by your father, and I am the witness. Everything is reasonable and legal. In fact, I have asked them about their opinions, and they have no intention of objection. What you have to do is to choose one of them. Is it difficult? If it is really difficult to choose, it is better to throw a coin and see the choice of fate."

"It's not that I can't choose...but..." Ashu Rufate hesitated. "I don't know what to say. I forgot everything in the past, and I don't know what my real purpose was to come here. Maybe I really plan to rely on this marriage to live a soft life. But now I," he looked down at his hands. Ashu Rufate had looked at his hands many times, and there were not many calluses on his hands - in fact, his fingers were long and powerful, fair and tender, which means that he must not be a person who does rough work. So far, the only thing he can be sure of is that he can break the text and read - amnesia is lost, but the skills he has learned will not be forgotten. "Just as you said just now, I have been reborn."

"Those two girls, but they own the entire manor... Actually, it's not as small as you think." Aunt Mary said. "Their manor is connected to my land, and those two little girls are my only heirs... I have a large land here. There is a wilderness, a very beautiful wilderness, a good place to hunt. There is also a beautiful forest here. A autumn hunting party was held between the wilderness and the forest two years ago, and it was praised by everyone." She said with a smile. "Although those two girls are not very rich, this manor can provide them with about one hundred and fifty big gold alas every year. In addition, they also own shares in a chamber of commerce in the city. This can also provide them with an equal amount of income. It should be said that it's barely enough to make do."

"Big King Orly?" Ashu Rufate subconsciously repeated the word. For some reason, this noun made his mind flash, as if he had thought of something. But it was only a moment. When he wanted to grab the flash of inspiration, he found that everything was empty.

"Dajin Oli." The old woman happily repeated the word. "It's nothing for a real wealthy family, but it's a pretty big income. Even if it's used by three or four people, it can be maintained very well..."

"King Oli..." Ashu Rufate repeated the word again. Unfortunately, the inspiration just now disappeared completely and could not be reproduced. He gave up his efforts to grasp the memory.

But at least he knew what "Oli" was. In fact, although this word was the first time he heard it after he lost his memory, he could easily remember it, as if he was familiar with "Oli". Specifically, "Oli" is a currency, divided into many kinds of gold, small gold, big silver, small silver, etc. Each one is divided into banknotes and coins, and the banknotes and coins can be exchanged freely. Unlike other coins, this currency is full of weight and absolutely does not have a certain degree of discount like ordinary currencies. Not only that, both coins and banknotes are exquisitely made and extremely difficult to imitate. The reason for this is that the initial motivation for minting this currency was to allow it to capture the markets of various countries in a very short time and become the currency accepted by all countries. The ultimate goal is to make the valuation of everything calculated using "Oli".

Now it seems that this goal has been successful.

To be honest, this is a good thing. Originally, all countries had minted gold and silver coins, resulting in a huge and chaotic monetary system. Now, this chaotic situation has finally become a simple and direct thing under an authoritative power, which has greatly developed businesses in various places.

The old woman turned her head and looked at Ashu Rufate. She saw Ashu Rufate without surprise at all. This man was not that simple, at least this level of wealth could not touch him. Suddenly, she found a voice in her heart laughing.

"I... can know," Eshu Rufate continued. "Is that other reason... what is?"

The old woman suppressed the touch in her heart and turned to consider this issue rationally. Although she woven a story that seemed perfect, it seemed that this man was not a role suitable for such a story. If she wanted to keep staying obediently and play the role she should play, she had to add some other materials.

"Do you have to know?" she replied. "You have to know... Sometimes it's better not to know the truth."

"I want to know." Ashu Rufate replied firmly. "Even if it is a cruel fact, I want to know."

"You raped them." Aunt Mary replied in a calm tone.

"Me?" Ashu Rufate couldn't help but be stunned. "Two...two?"

"Two." The old woman nodded. "Now you understand. There is no reason for their hostility and guard against you."

"But..." Ashu Rufate actually wanted to say "this is impossible at all." But he immediately realized that the old woman had no need to lie. What is the benefit of such a lie to her (or the two sisters)? Besides, even if she wanted to lie, she would not choose this reason.

"Well, to be honest, if it weren't for your special identity, then this crime would have been directly put on the gallows." The old woman said. "Don't ask me the details. Some harm can only be hidden deep in the human heart and cannot be taken out to share with others." She noticed a clear expression of frustration on Ash Rufate's face. "You should be very glad that the two of them finally decided to forgive you because you have lost your memory and are not the same person as the 'you of the past'."

"I..." Ashu Rufate opened his mouth, but found that he could not say anything.

"Can I... ask another question?" Ashu Rufat was silent for a long time and spoke again.

"Ask, as long as I can answer, I will answer you."

"If I marry one of them as I do in the engagement, what will happen to the other one?"

"That kind of thing is a permanent harm to a woman." The old woman replied. "I think she probably won't get married, she just silently swallowed that secret and hid her whole life."

"Then, the one who married me..."

"Well, that's easier. You can probably comfort yourself, thinking that it's just an early wedding chamber between unmarried couples. After a long time, I accepted it." Because Ashu Rufate lowered his head, he did not see the old woman showing a secret smile. "Don't you want to tell me... you want to take responsibility?"

Ashu Rufate did not answer. The things he said just now were so sudden that he was confused and could not think of anything for a moment.

"Speaking of this, my first husband has actually married more than one wife," Aunt Mary said suddenly. "I am his sixth, well, side room. But to be honest, I didn't feel any awkward. I got along well with others."

Ahh, Ashu Rufate only now remembered that he didn't seem to know the family situation of this aunt. However, if a woman who always wears a black dress (regardless of the style of the dress), it would be nothing to be surprised if she was a widow... Wait, the first one?

"But, I am the only one of my second husbands. In fact, he doesn't even have 'one'. Because I still have a lot of lovers, I can go out for dates every few days... As for my third, the fourth husband is even worse. Hey, sometimes it's strange to think about it, why should I marry them?"

Ashu Rufate suddenly felt that this aunt was not simple.

"Actually, according to my point of view, if a man can overwhelm women, then it doesn't matter if he has three wives and four concubines. On the contrary, there are too many wives. If," her voice became a bit weird. "Just if, if you can become an integral part of this family and give them happiness, then it is also possible for both of them to marry you. On the contrary, if you are not able to take good care of them and cannot give them happiness, then even the engagement set by the elders of both parties is not necessary to be executed."

“…”

"Actually, marriage is not something that can be accomplished in a hurry." Aunt Mary smiled slightly. "Don't be in a hurry. In fact, it doesn't matter if you hesitate for a year or two. As their only direct elder, I can wait for you to give me the answer."

At this time, they heard a loud neighing sound from outside. Aunt Mary turned around and walked towards the window on the other side, and happened to see a tall horse parked at the gate of the manor. A servant was opening the door.

A guest? Ashu Rufate also saw the situation outside. He noticed that the old woman was staring at the person jumping off the horse's back and frowned tightly.
