After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 199 Gossip

Chapter 190 Nine

Yao Wanning thought it was a little funny, and seeing her sister's bitter face, she nodded:
"Don't worry, mother, I will talk about everything."

Yao Shouning didn't realize that he had revealed his secrets. Hearing this, his frowning brows instantly relaxed, and he smiled:

"That's great!" After she finished laughing, she felt a little worried:
"But mother said that she offended Mrs. Wen this time, and I don't know how long she will be angry."

"Don't worry." Yao Wanning stroked her hair lovingly, and tidied up her collar. Looking at her peach cheeks and cherry lips, her big eyes were still full of worry, she said softly:
"Mother is not angry."

When she said this, Liu's scolding voice happened to come from the room: "The big exam is coming, it's better to work hard."

"..." Yao Shouning blinked, Yao Wanning laughed and said:

"Mother is not angry with you."

"Could it be that you are angry with elder brother?" Yao Shouning's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"Not at all."

Yao Wanning smiled and shook her head.

The girl standing in front of her was taller than her, but she was still a child after all, no matter how smart she was, she didn't know the complexity of the human heart.

"She was angry with herself."

"Angry at yourself?" Yao Shouning repeated in a murmur, and continued:
"I don't understand."

"You don't understand, my sister will teach you."

Yao Wanning took her hand, and the two sisters walked out of the Liu's yard together. The mother's voice gradually became inaudible, so Yao Wanning said softly:

"Mother used to think that Brother Wen's family was a good match, and wanted to marry you into Wen's family, you know that, right?"

Yao Shouning nodded.

When talking about her future marriage, there was no trace of twitchiness on her face.

Yao Wanning knew it in her heart, and then said:

"Brother Wen's family is really good. He looks good, studies hard, has an upright character, and is valued by the nobles. His future is boundless."

Such a person, no matter who it is, is a good son-in-law.

Although Liu Shi never mentioned it, Yao Wanning could feel some hidden worries in her heart.

"Back then, my aunt didn't follow my mother's wishes and insisted on marrying Uncle Su as my wife. It must be because of my mother's knot."

It would be fine if Xiao Liu's life went smoothly these years, but Su Wenfang's official career was not going well, the couple lived without a fixed place and wandered for many years. From Liu's point of view, she felt that her sister had suffered countless hardships.

With this lesson learned from the past, the Liu family naturally learned a lesson. From then on, they were extremely strict with Yao Shouning, fearing that she would get big ideas in the future and not listen to her own arrangements, ruining her life.

Liu gave birth to two daughters.The eldest daughter, Wanning, is physically weak and lingers on the sick bed. Many doctors have seen her say that she will not live past eighteen.

In Liu's heart, she never thought that this eldest daughter would be able to marry, and she was already mentally prepared to raise this daughter for the rest of her life.

And Yao Shouning was born with no disasters and diseases, and was also very beautiful, as if he and Yao Wanning were two extremes, which made the Liu family both worried and happy.

The happy thing is that this youngest daughter has been healthy since she was a child, unlike the eldest daughter who made her worry. What is worrying is that her beauty is rare. She can already foresee how many mad bees will be attracted by this daughter when she grows up in the future. butterfly.

Although Yao's family is also a family of officials, in a place like Shendu, Yao Hui is just a mere commander of the sixth-rank soldiers and horses, and no one can afford to offend him.

Liu was afraid that her daughter's beauty would be a misfortune rather than a blessing, and if she was not strictly disciplined in the future, she might go astray, so she was very strict with her since she was a child.

According to Liu's plan, if Yao Shouning grows up in the future, just choose a suitable husband and son-in-law for her, so that she can live a safe and prosperous life.

Just in that year, Yao Hui was transferred to Shendu after Jingcha, so that she lived next to the Wen family. Apart from liking the Wen family's prostitute very much, he also liked Mrs. Wen's extraordinary appearance at a young age. side son.

At that time, Wen Jingsui was already very good, but she was still young, but she could speak well, so she naturally wanted to make a decision for her daughter with such a person who was very likely to have a great future in the future.

From Liu's point of view, the two families are well matched, the Wen family is from a family of poets and scholars, with a simple population, and Wen Qingzhe has an upright character and has no bad habit of taking concubines and prostitutes.

Although Yao Hui said he practiced martial arts, Liu was confident that he had a little money, and he was also a descendant of Nan Zhao's famous family. His daughter was beautiful and knew how to study etiquette.

Besides, the two families both married off their daughters. For the sake of Wen Xianrong marrying into Yao's family, it is impossible for Mrs. Wen to be unkind to Yao Shouning.

The two live so close together that Yao Shouning lives under her nose. If she misses her daughter, she can see her at any time. She doesn't need to be like she was when she sent her younger sister to marry. She has been suffering from separation since then, and she never saw her again until Xiaoliu's death. upper side.

Coupled with the fact that Wen Jingsui's character, appearance, and knowledge are outstanding in all aspects, Mrs. Liu is naturally more satisfied, so she ignores the frightening aspect of Mrs. Wen.

"Think about it, the two live so close together, it's not easy for Xianrong to come to my house before getting married—"

Mrs. Wen is so strict with her daughters, let alone a future daughter-in-law who is not her own flesh and blood.

The marriage between the two parties has not yet been decided, but there is a tacit verbal agreement, so she can't understand some of Yao Shouning's behaviors.

In the future, if this marriage comes to fruition and Yao Shouning marries into the Wen family and falls into the hands of Mrs. Wen, I'm afraid life will not be as comfortable as Liu's thought.

It's a pity that Liu Shi only saw the advantages of Wen Jingsui before, but she couldn't think of such a simple truth.

Seeing Mrs. Wen's greatness today, Mrs. Liu probably realized that something was wrong, so by teaching Yao Ruoyun a lesson, she should be angry with herself.

"Mother has a strong personality, and likes to take everything on herself."

The more things you do, the more responsibility you will bear.

"Leave her alone, she still has to compete with herself for a while."

Listening to Yao Wanning's analysis, Yao Shouning understood Liu's inner awkwardness.

But she was heartless, even if it was related to her future marriage, she didn't take it to heart, but she was only thinking about investigating the imperial tomb at night.

The two sisters talked all the way back to the house, and Mallow greeted them, and asked curiously:
"Are you okay?"

She vaguely remembered that Mrs. Liu was very angry before, fearing that Yao Shouning would be reprimanded, so she cleverly moved reinforcements when she came back.

Yao Shouning shook his head and told her:
"You take out my two books, and by the way, find out the book of the book you gave me back last time, and then make up a random one, and give it to my mother later."

Mong Kui has been with her for many years, and she immediately understood what she meant—it seemed that she had kept the two new booklets with two books.

As the little girl went to fetch the book that had just been hidden earlier, she felt sorry for her:
"But you haven't finished reading the script that Miss Wen borrowed."

"It's okay." Yao Shouning shook his head.

If in the past, the stories she hadn't read were confiscated by the Liu family, she would definitely be rolling in distress, but now she has more important things to do, so naturally she can't take care of them.

"Anyway, Xianrong has already seen it. If you have time in the future, let her tell me."

After she finished speaking, she saw a curious look on Yao Wanning's face.

That's not like what she said!She has always loved story books, so I don't know how many times Liu's temper has been provoked by this, and she has not changed her mind.

At this time, I don't know what kind of book it is, but it made her even willing to send out the story book.

At this moment, Dong Kui came over with two large books in her arms. After Yao Shouning took them, she saw Yao Wanning leaning over and asked:

"What is this?"

After finishing speaking, she reached out her hand curiously and flipped through it.

There are densely packed characters in the book, and the first row reads: "(Representative) Yuan Dun Jianxing 7th year."

No matter how clever Yao Wanning is, she still looked dazed when she saw this scripture-like font:
"What does it mean?"

"This is……"

Yao Shouning was about to explain, but as soon as he started, he suddenly remembered that what he and Lu Zhi were going to do was not very respectable, and the less people knew about it, the better.

Although Yao Wanning would definitely keep it a secret for her, if my sister knew that she dared to dig the graves of the royal kings for her, I don't know how worried she would be.

Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and forcibly squeezed out a confused look:

"...The prince gave it to me. He said it was for me to comprehend it myself. I don't know what it means. Hehe."

"..."

Yao Wanning glanced at her, and saw that she was distressed, as if she had a headache from the book.

She trusted Yao Shouning very much, and never thought that she would deceive herself, so she touched her sister's face affectionately, and said softly:

"It's fine if you don't understand clearly. I think Shizi is very childish and arrogant. Maybe Beimen lost face last time and deliberately used these two books to tease you."

"I also think..." Yao Shouning muttered softly, Yao Wanning smiled slightly, looked again, and found some ways:
"Jianxing for 7 years, Tianhua for 11 years..."

She read several words in succession, and said:
"These are year numbers."

When Yao Shouning heard this, his heart tightened.

Her elder sister has seven orifices in her heart and is very intelligent. She has been ill for many years and reads a lot of books. Maybe a few more glances will really let Yao Wanning see some tricks.

Thinking of this, she hastily closed the book in her hand, not daring to turn it over again:

"Maybe, anyway, the prince still wants to ask me out. What does it mean? I'll ask him next time."

Yao Wanning didn't suspect him, and felt that Lu Zhi was playing tricks on him.

However, judging from the current situation, Shizi herself has a sense of proportion, and she didn't see any intention of hurting Yao Shouning for the time being, so she didn't care about it any more.

She yawned, with a sleepy look on her face, which surprised Yao Shouning:

"Sister is sleepy?"

"En." Yao Wanning nodded, covering her lips with her slender fingers:
"Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night. I was really sleepy during the day."

Her words made Yao Shouning silent for a moment.

She stayed overnight last night, and went to check on Yao Wanning's bedside, and saw that she was breathing deeply, sleeping soundly, and hadn't turned over a few times.

During the day today, Mrs. Liu asked her to go out to Wen's house, but Yao Wanning also refused, saying that she would stay at home and take a nap.

After sleeping for such a long time, she still feels sleepy!
Yao Shouning was feeling suspicious, but Yao Wanning didn't wait for her to speak, and said:
"You play by yourself, I'm going to lie down for a while."

She was awakened by Mallow only when she heard Liu's return. After hearing about the whole story of the Wen family, she guessed that Liu might be angry, so she got up to help her sister out.

Now that the matter is over, she will naturally lie down for a while.

Time passed little by little, and in the evening, the Yao family sat together and happened to talk about what happened in Zhuzi Lane during the day.

"...It is said that the two girls eloped, and I can't help it." While setting up the bowl, Feng Chun told everyone the rumors he had inquired from the maids and servants in various mansions:
"I met my family members chasing me and broke the carriage."

Yao Hui didn't say a word, just pretending he didn't hear it.

And Yao Ruoyun was very curious, but wanted to maintain the dignity of a scholar, pretending not to care.

Mallow also followed the discussion. After an afternoon of fermenting, the rumors became more and more bizarre.

"These two young ladies insisted on staying together. They didn't love men but only loved red makeup. When they were taken back, they said that they cried miserably." Mong Kui said it with nose and eyes, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

"Some people say that these two young ladies are going to get married after being arrested, and the family doesn't allow them to embarrass themselves like this."

"In my opinion, it is too deviant for two women to love each other. How can there be any reason for two women to elope in this world?" Su Miaozhen couldn't help but interjected when she heard this.

"I think there may be something hidden in it..."

Yao Wanning secretly glanced at her sister, saw that her eyes were dodging, and she looked down at the ground from time to time. After listening to the nonsense for a long time, Yao Wanning couldn't help but pursed her lips and showed a smile:

"Miaozhen is not right."

She retorted softly:
"As long as you are a human being, you have emotions, and it has nothing to do with gender or identity." She seemed to be expressing her words. Yao Shouning raised his head, but she heard her say again:

"In this world, love between a man and a woman is not the only truth. From ancient times to the present, there are countless records of the goodness of Longyang. What is there to make a fuss about when women fall in love?"

Her words made even Liu Shi a little surprised, Su Miaozhen had suffered from her several times, and hated her heart, and now she heard her refute herself, how could she remember her previous doubts, she only wanted to refute her:

"What my cousin said makes no sense."

"The ancients said that the combination of men and women is the harmony of yin and yang. It has been so since ancient times..."

She has always acted gentle and sensible in front of Mrs. Liu, but now she is in a hurry to talk without end.

Yao Wanning lightly interrupted her:

"Since ancient times, things may not be right. Since ancient times, men have been superior to women. Mother, do you think we women should be humble?"

"..." Su Miaozhen shut up with hatred.

Liu's eyes swept across the people in the room, and said decisively:

"Of course not!"

When mentioning such a topic, gradually deviated from the original topic of 'two hugging women fell out of the carriage in Zhuzi Lane', Yao Ruoyun finally found room to intervene.

It's a pity that Yao's family has a total of seven people, including three men and four women.

Among these three men, Yao Hui fears his wife like a tiger, Yao Ruoyun and Su Qingchun are both juniors, they are not worth mentioning in front of Liu Shi.

Not to mention the large number of female servants such as Madam Cao and Fengchun in the family. Headed by Mrs. Liu, all the girls talk to each other, and they are overwhelming on issues such as the status of men and women. Nodding should be the portion.

"..." Yao Shouning began to tremble, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Yao Wanning take the initiative to divert the topic away.
