The world is heavy and late

Chapter 325-Equality
Zhu Ba took the rein with his hands, glanced back, and then looked at the carriageway in front: "Don't tell Mrs. Xu, we are not going fast, if something happens, she will catch up."

After finishing speaking, he gave Hou San a look: "Be careful, you melon, and hold the knife carefully. If it's a dominatrix who comes, we have to protect our lord as well."

Hou San glanced at the back, although he didn't know the origin of the person behind him, but he felt that what his brother said was reasonable, slowly grasped the knife on his waist, and nodded.

Anyang galloped all the way towards the northbound avenue, looking at the mountains and mountains in front of her that were only showing the corners due to the rising fog, she pursed her lips slightly, she slipped out of the mansion when it was dawn, and galloped all the way to the post.

But Xu Zhong had already set off, fortunately Yi Cheng told her that they had only left for a short while, otherwise seeing this scene and she was the only one, she would definitely feel like retreating.

Immediately, there were two big burdens and a lot of money on her body. When she was getting more and more uncertain, she finally saw the shadow of the carriage on the bend.

She opened her mouth and was about to shout, but maybe she had been a lady for a long time, and she couldn't make a sound all of a sudden, so she could only whip her whip fiercely and catch up with the carriage in front of her.

Although Hou San and Zhu Ba didn't tell Xu Zhong about this matter, they were heartbroken. They kept looking back along the way and found that there was indeed someone following behind.

Hou San stared carefully for a while, then turned his head tremblingly and said, "Brother...Brother...Brother, that, does that person look like a princess?"

Zhu Bashu turned his head, his eyes were almost out of their sockets. After a careful look, he and Hou San looked at each other for a while. Run ahead and report to Lord Xu."

After finishing speaking, he also slowly pulled the carriage to a stop, looked back at the thin figure getting closer, and couldn't help but look ahead to know which one it was.

Hou San ran and shouted: "Master Xu, Master Xu."

Xu Zhong was combing Xia Qing's hair at that time. Xu Zhong planned to give Xia Qing a bun when he got up in the morning, but Xia Qing stayed up late again, and they didn't want to stay in the same room all day. Reading in the carriage.

So I left this thing that both of them like very much and can be carried out smoothly in the carriage until now.

Hearing Hou San's shout, Xu Zhong didn't need to speak. Cheng Dalang looked curiously and had already stopped the carriage. Xu Zhong and Xia Qing heard Hou San's shout outside.

"Master Xu, behind, behind, Princess Anyang."

The preface didn't match the postscript, but both of them knew what it meant.

Xu Zhong glanced at Xia Qing whose hair was still draped over his shoulders, Xia Qing didn't look very happy either.

Xu Zhong asked: "Is it a pity that people come?"

Xia Qing glanced at Xu Zhong, sighed helplessly, and shook his head. He was really not as happy as he imagined, but he was a little happy. At this time, Xia Qing felt the changeability of human emotions.

The two got out of the carriage, and Anyang also rushed over on a fast horse, his eyes met Xia Qing who was beside the carriage.

Xia Qing and Xu Zhong bowed together to Princess Anyang, and Princess Anyang also bowed back while sitting in the carriage.

The three people didn't say a word, and the three people beside them were stunned.

Xia Qing, Xu Zhong and Anyang got into the same carriage, and it was quite normal for Anyang and Xu Zhong to ride in the same carriage, but Xu Zhong and Xia Qing looked the same, Anyang paused for a moment, and then agreed Got into the carriage.

As for the luggage they brought, they were still piled on the carriage behind, and the horse let Hou San ride back to report the news, and they walked forward slowly first.

Xu Zhong first asked about the situation in Prince An's mansion, and after learning that Princess An and Prince An didn't know that she would go to Beijing at this time, they looked at each other silently, somewhat guilty of abducting students.

But Xu Zhong was very keenly aware of the problem: "Your Highness is saying that the prince doesn't know that the princess will come to Beijing at this time? Does it mean that their princess wants to go to Beijing?"

An Yang nodded and said: "This is not a trivial matter. I have discussed it with my father, queen, mother and concubine. Because of my firm attitude, they can only agree."

An Yang paused, Xu Zhong was silent for a while and said: "King An wants to write a letter to accompany the princess to Beijing?"

An Yang nodded: "I don't want to get married this time, it's already a lot of trouble for my father, queen, mother and concubine, I don't want to bother them with this matter anymore, it's just that they are probably very anxious at this time."

Xu Zhong understood An Yang's words, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I left a handwritten letter for Mr. Chen before I left the city. At this time, the prince and concubine probably already know about it, but it's just that the general waiter should go back and report it."

Anyang breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Xu Zhong. Xu Zhong also smiled politely, then looked at Xia Qing and said, "I'll go to the back and drive with General Zhu Can."

Xia Qing glanced at the silent Anyang and nodded, but his eyes kept lingering on Xu Zhong's trace, until Xu Zhong couldn't see him completely, then he reluctantly looked away.

When Anyang saw the carriage with only two people, he settled down, and his eyes were firm: "Mrs. Xu, sir, I understand."

Xia Qing looked at the childish Anyang in front of him, and there was an almost loving light in his eyes: "Oh, what do you want to understand?"

Anyang blinked, looked at Xia Qing seriously, knelt in the carriage, put his hands on his knees and said, "I said that I want to live a free life, and I can go out whenever I want. If you want to be a female celebrity, you are a female celebrity, and if you want to run a horse, you can run a horse, but in fact, you don’t just live with these two things.”

Xia Qing was persuasive: "Then what kind of life do you want?"

Anyang pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were almost persistent: "It's a life with choices."

"I can choose to go out for a horse race when I am happy, and I don't have to care about other people's eyes."

"I can choose to be a female celebrity when I am depressed, not because women are supposed to do these things."

"I can choose to call out friends when I'm lonely, and go out to dinner together, without having to bear the name of being immoral."

"I want to love each other with my sweetheart, not treat each other with respect."

"I want to choose a life that I can live without being bound by those rules, the world or those articles."

"I hope we women can have more choices in life."

Xia Qing suddenly didn't regret it at this moment. She hesitated before because she was afraid that Anyang's idea of ​​liberation was completely induced by her.

Revolutionaries may not necessarily be happy, maybe they will feel happy because of the belief in their hearts, but they are trapped by the world, that is a kind of sober and painful happiness.

But at this moment, Xia Qing doesn't need to worry at all because she found that Anyang herself has the same idea. Maybe she was influenced by her grandfather when she was young, or maybe it was influenced by Xia Qing and Gu Weiyun back then, but Anyang himself is a revolutionary.

She is the same as Gu Weiyun.

But maybe it’s different, Gu Weiyun hopes that women’s status can be greatly improved, so as to improve the exploitation of women who are always at the bottom, but what Anyang wants is liberation, a true liberation of equality in terms of ideology and rules.

In fact, it is not surprising that there is such a gap between Xia Qing and Gu Weiyun, who was born in a poor family. Although he has ambition and compassion, he is not that naive after all.

On the contrary, Anyang was born in Prince An's Mansion, the only family in Yizhou, protected by his parents, supported by the girls around him, and favored by his elder brother. Although he is not satisfied with the difference between her elder brother and her, if it weren't for this marriage, Anyang You may not discover this side of your personality.

It is precisely because she thinks that everyone can be treated like this, so what she has to cross is just a big river, but she doesn't know that what lies ahead is a ladder to heaven.

Xia Qing thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I will take you to Beijing, but you have to promise me one thing."

An Yang looked inquiringly, Xia Qing replied directly: "You have to learn to reconcile."

Yes, Xia Qing did not intend to support Anyang's ambition. She understood the current situation too well. If Anyang was allowed to go on, she would only become more radical, even in a place full of interests like the capital.

Her words and actions will be invisible magnified and used by those who have a heart.

It will also destroy Xia Qing and Gu Weiyun's long-term efforts.

Xia Qing has lived in his own world for so many years, but he still doesn't feel that the whole society is on a real level of equality, let alone this era.

Xia Qing and Gu Weiyun never had such extravagant expectations from the beginning. Xia Qing always thought that he was an ordinary person, or an ordinary person who had failed in his previous life, and was out of tune with the world.

Gu Weiyun knows the influence of patriarchy and monarchy on this era, so they just hope to change a little bit with their own efforts, and then change a little bit.

But the truth will undoubtedly make Anyang feel painful, so Xia Qing immediately knows that what she wants to do is not to find a direction for Anyang, but to help Anyang firm up his direction and achieve reconciliation.

Anyang still didn't quite understand Xia Qing's words, but Xia Qing kept staring at her, she thought for a while and nodded, "Okay."
