The world is heavy and late

Chapter 316 Anyang ([-])

Anyang didn't check for a moment that there were other people here, and he was taken aback, the bow in his hand was thrown away, but maybe it was really because of the long time of hard work, Anyang's hand was still shaking.

An Yang looked at Xia Qing on the wall, a little stunned and didn't know what to do. It stands to reason that Xia Qing should salute her, but Xia Qing didn't sit on the wall instead.

She didn't know how to explain to Xia Qing what she had just seen.

There is no need to explain at all, Xia Qing knew what was going on at a glance. I am afraid that he was in a bad mood and sneaked here to try it out. Some raised eyebrows.

Xia Qing was not too stingy about showing her kindness to Anyang, she felt no different from looking at Anyang as she was looking at a child.

Although everyone said that Anyang was almost fifteen, but after careful calculation, he was only fourteen. It is true that this age is already a year for marriage in Dajin, but Xia Qing is not so mad.

She smiled at Princess Anyang: "Why is Your Highness alone? Why don't you come and talk to me?"

Anyang hesitated as he walked, "I'm here to have a look, what about you?"

Anyang walked a few steps to the corner of the wall and looked up at Xia Qing who was still sitting on it. Xia Qing shook his feet and looked around. Although the wall was not too high and he couldn't see much scenery, it was as good as it was. Standing in the garden is still very different.

Xia Qing glanced around before lowering his head and said, "I'm also here to have a look. Is this the first time Your Highness is shooting an arrow?"

Anyang's face became a little red, she nodded, and found that her hands were still trembling uncontrollably, she was actually a little worried, would this person tell the concubine mother about it?
Xia Qing clearly saw all of Anyang's movements, but he didn't seem to care and said: "Then His Highness is very powerful, he can draw the bow for the first time, so I should not be able to."

Anyang was silent and didn't speak. She should have asked Xia Qing not to mention this matter in front of her concubine mother, but her usual teachings urged her not to say such impolite words.

My grandfather once said that the most important thing in being a human being is integrity, and a gentleman cultivates his own integrity.

Although her father and elder brother were not like this, and even her mother was not like what she thought when she was a child, but this person who only met her grandfather a few times has completely learned that strength.

Seeing that Anyang was silent, Xia Qing didn't know whether to ask her what was on her mind. Xia Qing didn't like to be nosy, because it often meant trouble, and she didn't want anything other than the trouble she caused herself. .

But looking at the slim figure in front of him, it seems that he has returned to his usual peace and comfort at this time, which is a bit hard to say for a while.

How about asking?After all, it seems that he is not much older than the prince. When he came to Beijing, he still learned riding skills by himself.

After thinking about it, I still felt that I should have caused trouble, so I asked, "What's on your mind, Princess? Why don't you tell me."

Anyang raised his head and looked at Xia Qing. It was noon. Although the sun was not too hot now, the sunlight was still dazzling. When Anyang raised his head, he seemed to see Xia Qing glowing, like a night pearl placed in his father's hall Same.

She knew this man, very well.

"Mrs. Xu, does everyone have to get married?"

Xia Qing said casually, "Of course not."

The exit felt a bit arbitrary again, and just as he was about to take it back, he saw Anyang's eyes brighten for a moment, opened his mouth, and took back the rest of the words.

Anyang's voice had revealed a bit of joy: "Mrs. Xu, is it true? Is there really a woman who can't get married?"

Xia Qing was silent for a moment this time. Could it be that she could tell Princess Anyang that what she wanted, and even Xia Qing thought she was fighting for, wasn't that what she told Qiao Huan back then?

But Qiao Huan is different from Anyang, even Xia Qing doesn't know, she gave Anyang such a belief or thought at this moment, for Anyang's status, whether she will be lucky or unlucky in the future.

This is also a question that Xia Qing has been thinking about. It's not that she can't bring more advanced ideas or more powerful abilities to this world, but the productivity level of this era and the ideological and cultural gap that has spanned thousands of years are really Can such a rapid leap be achieved?
Xia Qing thought about the sentence that the high school teacher kept emphasizing that the lower economy determines the upper structure.

Sober pain and sinking happiness, no one knows what he likes until he really experiences it.

An Yang, who didn't wait for an answer immediately, seemed to understand Xia Qing's meaning, and pursed his lips slightly, but he still didn't say anything, and was about to turn around and leave.

The sound of footsteps awakened Xia Qing who was sitting on the wall. Xia Qing rubbed her forehead and felt that it was a wrong decision for her to climb up. She was obviously just too bored. Who would have thought that she would face such a thing when she came up.

Taking another look at Princess Anyang's back, she closed her eyes, okay, accept her fate.

"His Royal Highness, women don't have to marry and have children."

When Anyang turned his head, Xia Qing realized that Anyang, who had exited gracefully just now, had red eyes.

Xia Qing paused for a while, rubbing the hand on his forehead and gradually put it down, but he still said: "Although in the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, there are men and women who have not married after a certain age and need to pay taxes, but that is not the same for your Highness." Big deal, right?"

Anyang nodded with red eyes, the tears in her eyes have not flowed down, Anyang will not let herself do such a disgraceful thing, besides, she just wants to know what she should do so that it will not be so early They were hastily planned to get married.

She asked: "Mrs. Xu, do you know that my mother and concubine want to show me the engagement?"

Xia Qing nodded, but he just found out today that Princess An and King An had a rare middle-of-the-night quarrel. Naturally, many people wanted to find out what it was about. Xia Qing listened to such gossip a lot this day.

Princess Anyang continued: "I don't want to be engaged to Guo Ming. I have only met him twice. How could he come to ask me to marry me? I don't even remember what he looks like, and I don't even imagine Like the other sisters, they are obviously the daughters of King An, and after they get married, they have to settle down in the morning and evening, and they have to listen to the mother-in-law's admonition every day, as if they are serving a big family."

"Mrs. Xu, you... yes, you don't know."

Xia Qing looked at Anyang who seemed to be caught in some contradictions and struggles, and felt a little pity, but in fact, he planted the root of this disaster early on.

If she was in the capital, she hadn't been encouraged by her to learn how to ride a horse, hadn't seen so many court ladies and officials in the palace who were determined to climb up, hadn't seen so many false loves between men and women, maybe the current Anyang would be with her sister Same, quietly at home to be married.

The difference seems to lie in the character of her husband's family, and Princess Anyang's famous title and heavy dowry.

But now, Anyang will also think about what getting married means to her.

Anyang looked at every plant and tree in Prince An's Mansion, even a small path, and said slowly: "If it is for the people of the Jin Dynasty that I need to get married, of course I am obliged to do so, because our royal family depends on the offerings of people all over the world."

"If I get married for the great cause of my father and mother, I am also willing. The grace of childbearing is more important than Mount Tai."

"But my mother and concubine told me that they all just hope that I can find a good man to marry, and that I will have a safe and happy life in the future."

"Mrs. Xu, tell me, if it's just for me, why can't I make the decision?"
