auspicious time has come

Chapter 162 Make it clear that she wants to be her daughter-in-law

After Shaoyan was startled, he immediately smiled and said: "Since Jieshi Xiao has something to discuss with Ah Heng, I'll read the story later, it's just for boredom, so don't worry about it."

As a man, one must know the general principles, and it is not advisable to do things that embarrass her—this is the principle engraved in Mr. Shaoyan's bones.

Heng Yu nodded: "It just so happens that I also have something important to discuss with Lord Hou. Shaoyan, then I'll look for you later."

Shaoyan smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Then he stopped and raised his hand to salute Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu bowed his hand and saluted, then said to Heng Yu, "Then let's go."

Heng Yu nodded and followed him towards the study.

Shaoyan stood still in the same place for a moment, until he watched the pair of backs disappear behind the newly sprouted flowers and trees.

"The buns are really delicious?" Xiao Mu asked casually on the way.

Heng Yu nodded, and seriously commented: "It's just a bit bigger."

Xiao Mu nodded subconsciously: "Then next time I'll pack smaller—"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he froze.

...Why does he still want to make a deal next time?
Who gave him the courage to repeat what happened last night?
"Okay." Heng Yu nodded happily, and praised: "Speaking of which, Master Hou is a quick learner, and he is quite talented in pasta."

Xiao Mu looked at her, not too uncomfortable: "So you know that Ben Hou is learning and selling now."

Heng Yu smiled and "tssed": "I'm not a fool."

Seeing her expression, Xiao Mu couldn't help asking: "So you knew my mother was talking nonsense last night?"

Hengyu raised her eyebrows and let out a "huh", acquiescing.

Xiao Mu put his hands behind his back: "Then I just saw Benhou holding the steamed stuffed bun and he was able to hold back his smile. It's really embarrassing."

Heng Yu said frankly, "Why should I laugh, I'm not the kind of person who gloats at others' misfortune."

Xiao Mu clenched his fingers slightly behind his back, and his tone still sounded casual: "Your heart is like a mirror, and you should know why mother is like this—"

Heng Yu looked at the peach blossoms blooming in front of her, blinked her eyes, and said, "Of course I know."

What does Aunt Xiao think about her? Since she is not a fool, it is impossible for her not to notice until today.

Doesn't that make it clear that he wants her to be his daughter-in-law?

Hearing that she didn't deny and dodge at all, Xiao Mu became a little nervous for no reason, and also looked at the peach tree in front, but his eyes were a little uncertain: "Then... what do you think? Do you feel that mother's intention is a burden?"

"I am naturally happy to be liked by Madam." Heng Yu answered without hesitation.

As for the others...

If others don't tell her, but she hides it seriously, how can she speculate wildly?
Anyway, she was in no hurry.

And it's fun to watch other people worry once in a while.

When she was fishing with Ah Weng when she was young, she knew that the most interesting thing was not the moment when the fish was pulled out of the water. Waiting for the fish to take the bait, and then watching the process of the fish biting the hook and flicking its tail is also wonderful.

Another example is when traveling in the mountains and rivers, there are often the best scenery on the way, so there is no need to hurry, just enjoy every journey of the mountains and rivers.

She has a lot of hobbies in her life, and whenever she encounters something new, she wants to appreciate it, appreciate it, and ponder it.

Xiao Mu slowed down by half a step, turned his head to look over, and saw the young girl's white face facing the morning sun, as if covered with a faint golden glow, which further complemented the slightly smiling eyebrows and eyes, which were bright and sly, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like fog View flowers.

His heart beat a few times, and he said almost subconsciously: "Then..."

It was at this moment that something suddenly approached him.

Xiao Mu put up his guard all of a sudden, and out of an instinctive reaction, he grabbed Heng Yu's arm and pulled her away from the object.

With a sound of "dang", the thing fell to the ground.

Hengyu looked over and saw it was a polished wooden sword with a lotus root pink Ruyi knot tied on the hilt.

"General..." A figure flashed out, asking for instructions in his eyes.

Heng Yu looked at the person who came out of the way, and recognized that the person was the assassin who assassinated Xiao Mu that day - she had heard from Xiao Mu later that this person was named Lan Qing.

Xiao Mu looked at the bamboo forest to the side, and shook his head to indicate that Lan Qing didn't need to do anything.

This is obviously not an assassination move.

Lan Qing understood, saluted and stepped back, hiding in the dark again.

Hengyu bent down and picked up the wooden sword, looking at the bamboo forest.

This sword was thrown from the bamboo forest.

At this time, there was a clear sound of arguing inside.

"...How many times have I said that you are not allowed to use swords and swords anymore! You are a little girl, why do you have to toss about these things all day long? If you get hurt by bumps and bumps, and leave scars, it will be difficult for you to get married in the future." It is influential, and you will regret it by then!"

Responding to this woman's voice was the girl's dissatisfied retort: ​​"Marrying, marrying, marrying, is always marrying! Do I live to prepare for marriage!"

"Which woman is not like this? I am also thinking about your future? You are 13 years old this year, why can't you understand my painstaking efforts!"

"You don't allow me to dance swords and swords, and you drive away the gentleman who taught me how to practice swords in Fan Yang's old house. I also recognize it, but you don't allow me to dance wooden swords! Along the way, you I was not allowed to do anything, and my books were burned... In the eyes of my aunt, everything I do is wrong!"

"You still have the face to say that I burned your books? What kind of books are you reading? Those miscellaneous books are not for women, they will make people learn bad things!"

"Why do men seem to increase their knowledge, but women seem to learn to be bad? Auntie is clearly a paradox. Could it be that as a woman, she can't touch anything except women and women!"

"Look at your appearance... When you arrived in the capital, your father and mother saw it, and you don't know how to blame me for my improper upbringing, but they raised you such an unworthy daughter!"

"I didn't even want to come to the capital! It's better to stay in Fan Yang's old house and feel at ease. Who cares to come!"

"you……"

"Don't think I don't know. My father has been in the capital for so many years after he was promoted, and he never mentioned that he would take you and me to the capital. Now that I'm getting older, I think of me. It's a good name for me to plan for my marriage. It’s true, but in fact, I’m just treating me as a commodity, waiting for a price, and marrying me to get some benefits for them!”

"You...you are simply presumptuous! Who taught you to say these crazy words? It's all because I treated you too much when I was in Fan Yang, which made you look like a debt collector who doesn't distinguish between good and evil!"

"Yes, I'm a debt collector! Get out of the way, I'm going to find my sword!"

"Don't go! Since I lost it to you today, if you dare to pick it up again, let me see if I can let you go!"

"Isn't it just to be punished and kneel, it's up to you..." The girl's stubborn tone contained a trace of grievance that was not easy to detect, and she hurried out of the bamboo forest.

"Stop!" The woman followed closely and grabbed him.

"What on earth does Auntie want to do!" Tears welled up in the girl's eyes.

Seeing this, the woman's tone softened a bit: "A daughter's family should be dignified and gentle, not to mention your father is a literati... You said that you played with these sticks all day long, and often made yourself bruised and purple. Why bother? After saying so many times, why do you insist on not listening to persuasion?"

"I like to learn, I am not afraid of pain, I just want to give myself some strength, so that I can use it to defend myself, so there is nothing wrong with it!"

"What kind of strength does a girl need? Your father is an official official in the capital. With him protecting us, who would dare to bully you? When you get married in the future and find a good home, you will also have a husband to support you Come on. Your fate is good, you will be reincarnated, you have a Shangshu father, you don’t have to worry about the safety of your livelihood in this life, as long as you live in peace, you can live a stable and prosperous life, this is something that many people can’t envy..."

"What is An Anfen? Isn't the sister of Fan Yang's Zhou family not decent enough? But after she got married, she was beaten up and returned to her mother's house. Her father would only tell her to endure, and said that she was probably What did she do wrong! In less than half a year, the sister of the Zhou family hanged herself! From then on, I knew that no one could be relied on, I practiced martial arts to strengthen my body, and at least I was able to fight back when I was bullied!"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Your father chooses your marriage for you, and he will carefully judge the other party's character... Zhou's daughter is a minority after all. Why do you insist on other people's affairs and refuse to let go?"

"Why is it someone else's business, we are both women, maybe one day it will fall on us!"

As the girl spoke, she shook off the woman and strode out.

She searched for her wooden sword with her tearful eyes, and suddenly saw the two people standing there, she couldn't help but froze.

The morning light shone through the bamboo forest on the two of them, as if it had cast a phantom, which caused the girl to stare blankly for a moment.

The girl blinked her crystal clear tears.

She had never seen such a beautiful girl and husband, standing there, like a fairy in a painting...

The girl who looked like a fairy in her eyes held a wooden sword in her hand and looked at her, with a soft but sweet voice: "Here."

The girl walked over in a daze, held back her tears, stepped forward to take back the wooden sword and hugged it in her arms, and because she thought that the quarrel just now must have been heard by the other party, she lowered her head embarrassedly: "Thank you ..."

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's slightly round face still has a hint of childishness, but her brows and eyes reveal stubbornness.

Seeing this, the woman with her mother-in-law came forward, blessed Heng Yu and Xiao Mu, and said in a very uncomfortable way: "The discipline is not strict, you two will laugh at me..."

Everyone who comes in and out of this posthouse is an official. She brought her daughter to the capital for the first time. Beihou also settled down in this post house.

The woman almost had cowardice written all over her face.

"Young lady is modest, how can this be called lax discipline? I think Ling Qianjin is outspoken and intelligent, and her words are open, even many girls in the capital can't compare." Hengyu looked at the little girl in green with eyes full of admiration typical.

The girl who had lowered her head suddenly raised her eyes when she heard the words, and looked at Hengyu in amazement.

She, did she hear correctly?
This sister is actually praising her? !

The woman was also stunned for a moment, and said embarrassingly: "The girl really flatters her too much, this girl thinks about wielding knives and sticks all day long, and her words and deeds are really deviant..."

She came from a humble background, but she was just a concubine taken by the master when he released the sixth grade. More than ten years later, the master is now in the official position of minister, and there is a wife in the capital. She has to be cautious, for fear of anything Not doing it right.

However, my daughter is a different kind, and she refuses to be disciplined...

This trip to the capital, she can be said to be terrified.

What does the capital look like, and what are the people there like?She was black-eyed.

Therefore, even though he admitted that his daughter was deviant at this time, he still wanted to continue to listen to what this obviously unusual girl in front of him had to say—this girl speaks very well in Beijing, and she was obviously from the capital.

She looked at Heng Yu carefully and asked for advice.

"What's wrong with dancing a knife and using a stick to strengthen your body? As long as you don't use it to bully others, it is advisable. It is a good thing for women to have some means of self-protection. At least when they encounter villains who are not open-minded, they can want to fight Let's hit." Heng Yu said.

Hit as you want?

This was too blunt and shallow, and the woman's eyes widened upon hearing it.

Co-authoring this is even more deviant!

The girl in front of her heard that her eyes lit up, she took two steps closer to Hengyu holding the wooden sword, and said excitedly: "My sister and my hero see the same thing!"

Heng Yu raised her chin slightly and said with a smile, "Really?"

The girls nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

The next moment, in her line of sight, she saw the overly good-looking elder sister saying seriously: "Girls don't need men to protect them. If they can protect them, they will beat, scold, and even kill them, and entrust their safety to you." In the hands of others, it is like a bird in a cage. Everything depends on others and depends on the mood of others. When something happens one day, there is no power to resist."

"Compared to being protected by men, what women really need is fairness. Instead of being 'forced' to seek protection that should not exist under the injustice everywhere." Heng Yu said: "The so-called martial arts To deviate from the scriptures, to be unseemly, and to be undecorated—just like the many untenable derogatory remarks, they are all rhetoric used to trap women in cages."

"If women are not allowed to enter the hall or go out of the boudoir, it is equivalent to blindfolding and binding their hands, and they must use many fallacies to make them think that they are inferior to men in every way, as if they were born to be confined to the back house, to have children, to manage Housework, serving your husband, daily life, the only thing you need to fight for in this life is to compete with a man in the back house after getting married - and the ultimate beneficiary of all this is nothing more than the person who made all these rules man."

"They walk around and socialize outside, become officials, support everything in the family, and get the name of the head of the family. Whether it is fame, wealth, or the respect of the world, they collect it all in their pockets. Looking at the details of women, they work tirelessly to prepare meals. , but they were not allowed to eat together at the table. During the tomb-sweeping in the Qingming Festival, many so-called places with strict rules and regulations did not even allow women to approach the cemetery. , but they are still required to prepare properly. Those men just kowtowed a few times easily, which is a great contribution. Such as all kinds of unfair remarks, after careful consideration, how can they rely on it? It is just a It's just an instant fallacy."

Hengyu finally said: "At the end of the day, everything comes from injustice. Only because of injustice, women will have so-called innumerable 'mistakes'. For example, practicing martial arts is not wrong at all, but because of injustice, it becomes a mistake." .”

"That's right, that's right!" The girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, as if she had finally found a light exit in the darkness, her face was flushed with excitement: "My sister is very reasonable!"

It's just that although she felt that everything was wrong in the past, she didn't know how to explain it in detail!
This feeling is like, after a long time of boredom, a heavy rain finally falls. Although it is only raining and the sky has not yet seen the sky, it also feels refreshing.

"Young lady said this..." The woman looked complicated, and glanced at Xiao Mu quietly: "Could it be that all the men in the world are for that scourge that eats people and drinks blood?"

"Of course not." Hengyu said: "These outdated systems have existed for a long time, and most people in the world have taken them for granted. They have not noticed any difference in them, and this is not wrong. Therefore, those who follow blindly and blindly need to be wise and enlightened. And those who call it Those who are wise and sober, but still blindly admire this way, have ulterior motives, regardless of gender, they are all scourges—"

"But...the world is like this, even if it is true as the girl said, what can I do?" The woman glanced at her daughter: "I am just such a child, I watched him grow up, and I have never been separated for a day ... To tell you the truth, although I don't understand the truth, and I can't tell too much right from wrong, but I don't want to wrong her in my heart... However, the world is like this, if I indulge her, it will be the same as harming her..."

She said "the world is like this" twice in a row.

"Yes, if you really want to get rid of injustice, it's not a one-day matter. You can't do it too hastily, and you have to act according to your own situation. Otherwise, don't you have to take the lead before the great cause is achieved." Hengyu said with a smile: "You can't become a fat man even if you eat a bite." , don’t worry, first understand the truth, know the pros and cons, then stick to your heart, and then slowly figure it out.”

The woman looked at her in a daze.

The girl's remarks can be called shocking, but there is no sharp and extreme spirit in her body, but she is full of tolerance and peace.

And it was this peace that made the woman feel that this was not an immature impulsive thought of a child.

Under this peace, she seemed to see a river and sea that could merge with hundreds of rivers, calm but boundless.

And the gentleman standing beside her spoke the first sentence at this moment——

"It looks like a female wife." There was no expression on his face, but there was a smile of approval and appreciation in his eyes.

The girl blinked: "Master?"

"Yes, she will aspire to open a women's school in the future and become a female teacher." Xiao Mu said slowly: "The kind that hits people's palms with a ruler."

The girl quickly raised a hand, her eyes seemed to be sparkling: "Then I will be my sister's first student!"

Sister hit her!

She is willing to be slapped by her sister!
"Ah Liu..." The woman tugged at her cloak: "How could your father agree..."

"As far as I know, Ma Shangshu is not a pedantic and old-fashioned person, so he may not agree." Heng Yu said with a smile: "If there is a day when Ma Shangshu refuses to agree, I will personally come to persuade you to learn. "

The girl nodded hastily, her eyes full of anticipation: "Then I'll wait for my sister!"

Looking at those eyes, Heng Yu's smile became wider and brighter - just for the light in these eyes not to be extinguished, her school must be run.

"Miss... how do you know that my husband belongs to Ma Shangshu?" the woman asked strangely.

They never mentioned the origin of their surnames at all... Even when they quarreled just now, it seemed that they only mentioned "Official House Minister", but her family's master is not the only one among the six ministers in Beijing?
