On this day, when she arrived at the Yiyun Marquis Mansion, the Lei family only had Lei Lei's daughter, although she could not agree to make peace, but because of the emperor's order to secretly investigate her own whereabouts, she could not miss the very suspicious Lei family.

Lei Zhao personally led her and the eunuchs to the backyard garden, where Lei Lei was teaching a few girls martial arts, and they stopped when they came. A young girl rushed to him first, and when she came to him, she looked at him and said, "Ouch, isn't this 'the number one genius in the world'? I heard that you are going to be the son-in-law of Prince Rong, why do you still have time to come to the Yiyun Marquis Mansion?"

There have been a lot of cases of catching sons-in-law on the list over the years, Prince Rong really wanted to marry his daughter to Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu refused, but Jiang Yu went to Prince Rong's mansion the day before yesterday. Sima Li listened to the gossip master Xie Sanniang, Sima Li is living in the Zhenguo Mansion, and Xie Sanniang has also been living in her mother's house recently.

Who is this girl not Sima Li?

Lao Yu still politely bowed to her, waved his hand at the girls, and said, "Hello girls, I can disturb you, and please forgive me." ”

Sima Li said: "Being an official is different, and everything you speak is crepe. ”

Sima Yao finally came over and said, "Ah Li, don't be rude. ”

Sima Li stomped his feet and went back, Lei Zhao told Lei Lei to take the guests to sit in the pavilion, and they found that they were following many eunuchs, and their hearts were strange.

Lei Zhao invited Hua Langying to sit down, and at this time, Mrs. Lei also came and beckoned the maid to bring refreshments.

Hua Fangfang is also here, her county lord's mansion is too idle, five out of ten days to come to Lei Lei's house, follow her to learn some kung fu, unless Lei Lei is not in the capital.

Hua Langying opened the conversation again, talking about the current diplomatic event, there is a matter of the princes of the two countries courting each other.

Sima Li said: "We know, we have heard Princess Snow Flower say it a long time ago. ”

Hua Langying hehehe, said, "That's good." What do you girls think about kissing?"

Sima Yao said: "This is a matter of the imperial court, what can our boudoir women think?"

Hua Langying said: "Why can't you have an opinion, you have to understand that it is a boudoir woman who marries out with your relatives." There is no one more qualified to have an opinion than they are. ”

Lei Lei said: "Since it is a close relative, why don't I marry in the court, but I want to send the princess to marry out? Isn't it the same? Why does the court show generosity and send its daughter and sister to marry far away?"

Lei Zhao frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"No, it's not nonsense, it's a good idea. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, I don't completely agree with the family, after the siege of Liu Bangbai in the Han Dynasty, and the Huns, for decades it is to rely on the blood and tears of women to stabilize the country, in the final analysis, enjoy the prosperity of the customs or men. Therefore, the harmony in the Han Dynasty was full of humiliation and unfairness, and after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, there was no humiliation. By the time of Emperor Yuan, the Xiongnu were divided, and the Huhan evil side had a good relationship with the Han Dynasty, and then Zhaojun went out of the fortress. But if there's anything remarkable about it in a big book, I don't think it's necessary. Because the matter of marriage is also done by ordinary people, and it is not necessary to do this. It is precisely because this matter is so easy that if you change a pig to become an official, you can also pick a woman to kiss, and it is the woman who bears the price, not the official. It is said that the officials who have learned the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family, and the officials who only blindly advocate and solve things with themselves do not have any civil and military skills, that is, the emperor has bought a loss, and the emperor cannot return the money after paying it. ”

The girls laughed, Lei Lei and Sima Li were the most exaggerated, the girls were a lot closer to him in their hearts, and they would not be guarded against it psychologically.

Lei Zhao secretly thought: Only the emperor's henchmen dare to say that.

Sima Li pointed at the flower and smiled: "Then did the emperor lose or earn when he bought you?"

Although Sima Yao was curious, she was more steady, and said softly: "Ah Li, you can't talk about this. ”

Hua Rongying smiled: "I don't want the emperor to lose money, to be honest, so far, the emperor is quite at a loss." ”

Hua Fangfang looked at Hua Rongying curiously and said, "Master Jiang, why did you talk to us about these things?"

Hua Rongying said: "Because at this time, there are two countries seeking relatives, and this dynasty also has to make peace, and it just so happened that the emperor ordered me to choose someone to host this matter." ”

Sima Li's eyes widened and he said, "What are you choosing someone to tell us about......?" I don't want to kiss!"

Hua Rongying hurriedly explained: "No, no, you misunderstood. Now that our dynasty has not lost the battle, it is not a humiliation to be close to each other, and this is no different from the marriage between the two surnames between the families, it is equal. I just want to pick out the noble girls who are willing to marry the princes of the two countries, don't marry far away and become a grudge couple. ”

Lei Lei looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously and said, "Isn't it, who among us was chosen, and you came to be this lobbyist?"

Hua Langying hehe, before she could answer, Sima Li was angry and said: "As soon as you became an official, you changed, you became so bad, I was so good to you." ”

Hua Langying said: "I'm just a matchmaker, I can't say that it's a family affair, and I'm not a villain, right?"

Lei Lei was straightforward: "Who did you choose?"

Hua Langying knocked on the table and looked at Lei Zhao who was accompanying him, this guy obviously wanted to protect his sister's reputation, but she came on the emperor's orders, and he didn't interfere easily.

Flower Shadow said, "That...... Prince Yangjin has a good impression of the county lord, who had a princess before, but died. ”

Hua Fangfang's body trembled, lowered her head again, and said, "How can this be, I don't want to get married." ”

Hua Rongying didn't agree with her sister to go to kiss. She has been in contact with Yang Jin, and thinks that he is both martial arts and literature, proficient in Sinology, and relatively modest, it is really rare to look like Wang Leehom, and it is difficult to find someone with such qualifications in this dynasty. However, these advantages cannot make up for the fact that Tibet is a place where the status of women is lower than that of the Central Plains. Don't be misled by "Huanzhu Gege", although there is a religious goddess worship in Tibet, in fact, during the Tubo period, women were just tools for men, undertaking a lot of social labor, and the value was reflected in contributing to men and contributing to the family.

In the Central Plains, from ancient times to the present, there are many cases of heroines and queen mothers who are actually in power. But the average person has never heard of any outstanding women in the history of Tibet, because women are restricted to the strictest extent.

One of the "Sixteen Codes" is "do not discuss with women"; the "Sixteen Pure Laws of the Human Law" also has "do not listen to women"; the secular unwritten law also stipulates that "women and dogs cannot come into contact with the process of making Tibetan medicine", depriving women of the right to study medicine; and in customary law, the price of a woman's life is only half that of a man.

Therefore, women cannot be involved in military politics, cannot master knowledge, and can only engage in heavy labor. If Hua Fangfang marries to be a princess, she doesn't need to work like ordinary women, but her words and deeds must be restricted, unlike now when she wants to play at a friend's house, she can decide for herself. Yang Jin's liking for Hua Fangfang can't change the power of the whole society.

Hua Langying said, "Do you have a sweetheart?"

Hua Fangfang looked at Jiang Yu, lowered her head, and said, "I don't want to get married, I just want to find my sister, if I find her, she says I can marry whoever I want." It is not okay for someone else to be my Lord. ”

Hua Rongying's heart was shocked, and she saw that there were many eunuchs following her, and she also knew that the people in the middle would definitely report to Xuanyuan Ling Heng, so she said: "But now I can't find the concubine Niangniang, does the county lord have any news?"

Hua Fangfang shook her head and said, "If I knew, I would go to her." I don't want to be the lord of the county anymore, and I don't want to marry Fanbang, the emperor really wants me to marry, and I can't resist. But I tell you plainly, I don't want to, and I don't know if I can bring benefits to the court like Wang Zhaojun. ”

Sima Li said: "Jiang Yu, you used to be cowardly, but you are still so cowardly when you become an official! If someone wants to marry, do you have to pick a girl like a dog and give it to others? What kind of official are you going to be?"

Hua Langying arched his hand and said, "Everyone, don't bother me anymore." ”

Hua Langying got up and left, and Lei Zhao got up to send him off.

Sima Li looked at Jiang Yu's disappearing back and muttered, "He's angry, he wasn't like this before." ”

Lei Lei smiled faintly: "You scolded him just now, and now you regret it." ”

Sima Li said: "I have no regrets. ”

Lei Lei said: "If you want me to say, this Lord Jiang is also rare. A few years ago, Prince Yangjin also came to Zhongdu to ask for marriage, but the court did not agree at that time, but in fact, the ministers of the court and the emperor were interested, but Mrs. Mingyue at that time strongly opposed it. Because the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, she was also criticized a lot, and when she was in the holy favor, the emperor politely refused. In recent years, the two countries of Tibet and Hui have made good friends with Dayuan, and they have courted relatives again, and the court has been very gracious, and everyone in the court and the ministers of the DPRK and China think that this is a good thing. But didn't you listen to Lord Jiang, this doesn't seem to be capable, and choosing a pig as an official can also handle harmony. Obviously, he doesn't approve of it. But he couldn't stop it, so he retreated to the next best thing, it should be Manjing looking for a willing woman. ”

Sima Li said: "Then I didn't blame him? But he can explain it, why don't you explain?"

Lei Lei said: "How can you explain it? He offended many people by doing this, explaining that other officials in the DPRK and China built their wealth on the blood and tears of the woman regardless of whether she lived or died? That is to offend people irreparably." Since he has borne this, everyone is watching, and he is against others, and others will see if he can do better. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee who have considered the happiness and wishes of women, one by one, just want to do this thing that can be done by changing pigs, and this can also put gold on their faces. Being a hero comes at a cost. ”

……

Hua Rongying left the two mansions again, Xiao Shunzi took a few little eunuchs back to the palace, and she returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

As soon as she got off the horse, she heard a girl call him, and when she looked back, she saw that it was Sima Li, dressed in a maid's dress and wearing a hat on her head.

"Miss Sima, why are you here?"

Sima Li said: "I heard that you are not here, so I am waiting for you at the door." ”

Hua Rongying said: "But what's the matter?"

Sima Li asked: "I just want to ask you, if Lord Hua is unwilling, will you choose her to kiss?"

Hua Langying said: "This matter is not for me to decide. It's not too early, Miss Sima should go back early. ”

Sima Li said: "I secretly ran out of the Zhenguo Mansion, and my aunt didn't know about it. Can you send me back?"

Hua Langying saw that it was not early, so she agreed, and the Zhenguo Mansion was not very far, and she did not let people arrange a carriage again.

The two of them were walking in the market, and it was evening, and the pedestrians were hurrying back and forth, and the smoke of cooking had risen from houses near and far.

The "man" was wearing a royal blue lapel robe, with a leather belt around his waist, and his face was not handsome, but he had a lofty bearing. Sima Li secretly looked at him, unspeakably happy in his heart, and suddenly said, "I know, you are a good person." ”

Hua Langying smiled slightly and said, "Really, what is the standard of a good person?"

Sima Li said: "The standard of a good person ...... I don't know, but it should be like you. ”

Hua Langying sighed: "But for many people, I am a bad person, a bad person. ”

Sima Li said: "Could it be that you have done murder and arson?"

Hua Langying said: "Bad people don't have to kill people and set fires, sometimes because of different positions, they have already caused harm to others. ”

Sima Li said: "Then people who have a different position from you will cause you harm?"

"Of course, I'm not a saint. ”

"Would you want to kill them, then?"

"Killing people will not solve things, there are always people in the world who have different positions. ”

Sima Li grinned and said, "Then I still think you're a good person." ”

Hua Rongying said: "Don't run out of the house casually in the future." ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are no robbers. Sima Li glanced at him again and said, "It's a pity, after the summer, we will go back to Xuzhou." Originally, I was going to go back now, but I happened to meet so many states to come to Zhongdu, and it was very lively, so my father and mother agreed to postpone. ”

Hua Langying said: "Next time, I will play in Zhongdu, anyway, there are relatives and friends here." ”

In front of it is the Zhenguo Mansion, and there are fewer pedestrians around.

Sima Li looked at him, suddenly grabbed his sleeve, and shouted, "Brother Jiang." ”

Lao Yu thought that he was hallucinating, looked left and right, Sima Li looked at his expression, and said, "Brother Jiang, what are you looking at?"

The old fish pointed to himself and asked, "You called me?"

"It's not you, who's it?"

Lao Yu smiled and said, "You still call me a coward, I'm more used to it." ”

Sima Li stomped his feet and said, "Do you hate me in your heart?"

"How so?"

Sima Li looked up at him again, and at this time, his eyes became gentle, and the scum fish finally had a thrill and found that something was wrong. In the past, this girl didn't deal with her, and she didn't think anything about it, but how much does this look like Princess Ankang?

No way?!

The scumbag fish hurriedly pointed ahead and said, "It's almost there, I'm afraid that the people in the house will find out that they are in a hurry, so you can go back quickly." ”
