There was nothing to do this night, but after eating, Qin Zhihong disappeared Lian'er, so he searched everywhere in Yang's house, and after asking a few servants, he learned that Lian'er went to find Master Yang.

Qin Zhihong immediately felt bad, thinking that Lian'er must be dissatisfied with Master Yang's obscure words with the officer during the day, and went to him to theorize, so he hurriedly went to Master Yang's study.

The study of the Yang family is in the courtyard to the west of the Yang house, the courtyard is elegant and quiet, and there are a few bamboos planted outside the windows on both sides. Entering from the arch on the east side, I turned north along the stone-paved path to the door of the study, but when Qin Zhihong arrived in the courtyard, he heard the conversation between Lian'er and Master Yang behind the bamboo bush in the east window of the study.

I only heard Lian'er calmly ask Master Yang: "Master Yang, I heard you say that I am your righteous daughter during the day, and I am very grateful in my heart, but you said that you want to marry Miss Ziyi to Zhihong, I don't know if it is your true thoughts." ”

As soon as Master Yang heard this, he understood the reason, but looking at Lian'er's expression, there was no trace of gloom, so he smiled and said:

"Miss Lian'er, you are the benefactor of the old man, what the old man said in the day is also a statement in a hurry, although that little sixth son is my former subordinate, but in front of so many officers and soldiers, I have to give a reasonable explanation, I can't say that you two came to me just to avoid the investigation of the officers and soldiers......"

Lian'er also smiled, interrupted Master Yang's words, and said, "Master Yang, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, I just want to know what you really think." ”

Master Yang suddenly hesitated in his heart, and Lian'er continued to say frankly: "I can't hide it, at first I also quarreled with Zhihong repeatedly because of this matter, but after many things, I figured it out, although I also like Zhihong, but in all fairness, I sometimes can't fully understand her thoughts, and I must not take good care of him." After listening to what you said, I also believed it and felt that Zhihong should have a virtuous, intelligent and considerate person to take care of it. Now that my senior brother has been captured by the government, maybe one day I will have to worry about my life, I will definitely fight to save it, even if it is not, I am also wanted by the government, I don't know when I will lose my life, if you really have this intention, I am very willing to Zhihong He and Ziyi girl to be good for a hundred years, not how generous I am, but I am really not qualified to marry him......" said Lian'er burst into tears.

When Master Yang heard Lian'er's words, he couldn't help but admire this kind of loving and righteous martyr; And Qin Zhihong stomped outside the house and heard this, he couldn't help but roll in his heart, and he was about to go into the house to stop it, but at this time Master Yang spoke:

"Miss Lian'er, your deep meaning has made me, a seven-foot man, feel ashamed. To tell you the truth, when Qin Gongzi and you came to my house to relieve our misery, my wife saw that the little girl was interested in Qin Gongzi, and later the young master of the family came to make trouble, and you hurt him in anger, but Qin Gongzi was able to repay his injuries with virtue, which is difficult for ordinary people to do. Although their mother and daughter did not show their heads, they were surprised to hear about it. But I can see that Miss Lian'er and you and Qin Gongzi are a couple, so I dispelled the idea of recruiting him as a son-in-law, but today I still leaked my mouth in a hurry, so that you noticed these ......"

Lian'er smiled and said: "Master, you are too worried, although I like him in my heart, but on weekdays, Qiao Zhuang also pretends to be a husband and wife to walk the rivers and lakes, originally Senior Brother Zhu can be the master for me, and now he is also uncertain, but sir, you can rest assured, we are not husband and wife, and there is no misdeeds of trespassing, if your old man and Ziyi really have this intention, it is okay but this important matter in my heart, so that I can do my best to save my senior brother." ”

At this time, Qin Zhihong had fully understood what Lian'er meant, and hurriedly rushed into the study and said:

"Lian'er, never! ……”

Master Yang and Lian'er were both taken aback by this sudden change, especially Lian'er, whose thoughts were heard by Qin Zhihong, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, and her face was flushed.

Qin Zhihong didn't care about this, hugged Lian'er and said, "Lian'er, we can save my cousin together, but don't leave me!" ”

Since Lian'er met Qin Zhihong, the two of them have not given in to each other and have been bent on opposing each other, but they have long been secretly acknowledging each other from the fighting, but no one has always spoken first, and Qin Zhihong heard Lian'er confiding his heart outside the house, so it was naturally difficult to suppress his inner impulse, so he broke into the study; And it was the first time for Lian'er to hear Qin Zhihong speak so affectionately to him, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Qin Zhihong's arms, intoxicated, and forgot that there was still an old man Yang by her side for a while.

Mr. Yang didn't say anything, but he also remembered the memories of his youth when he met his wife, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and after a while, the two stood still embarrassedly, and Mr. Yang applauded and said:

"You two can be so unswerving, it's rare, the old man is also a person who practices martial arts, the most fancy is a righteous word, how many couples fly away when they come in great trouble, but you can think about each other, but I am impressed."

Master Yang paused and said: "Miss Lian'er, now that your senior brother is arrested, he is helpless, and the marriage with Qin Gongzi cannot be decided by no one, since I said this during the day, I want to accept you as a righteous daughter, and the old man will be the master for you, what do you think?" ”

Traditional Chinese ethics pay the most attention to the life of parents, the words of the matchmaker, and Lian'er is now helpless, hearing that Master Yang is willing to really accept her as a righteous daughter, I can't help but feel moved and happy in my heart, before she can express his position, Qin Zhihong said happily:

"Master Yang said so, that's great!"

So when he didn't look for him, in this small study, Lian'er knelt down to Old Man Yang, and officially made a meeting ceremony, worshipping him as his father-in-law. And Master Yang was overjoyed to accept Lian'er, the righteous daughter, and hurriedly said:

"Gongzi Qin, it seems that you can't escape the fate of being my Yang family's son-in-law!" After saying that, the old man laughed.

But at this time, although Lian'er dispelled the idea of letting Qin Zhihong to Ziyi to take care of her and go to the death to save her senior brother, she was already the daughter of Master Yang, and she thought about her father-in-law in her heart. He thought to himself, Fang Cai's father-in-law had already explained that he intended to recruit Qin Zhihong as his son-in-law, although marrying Qin Zhihong was also his father-in-law's son-in-law, but it was not the original idea, thinking of this, Lian'er said:

"Father-in-law, I don't want to marry Qin Zhihong! Unless you promise me one thing. ”

Old Man Yang and Qin Zhihong were both puzzled, could it be that what they said just now was not true, but neither of them spoke, and they listened to her conditions. So Lian'er said:

"Qin Zhihong can marry me if he wants to marry me in the future, but he has to marry my Ziyi sister-in-law, and Ziyi is the greatest!"

As soon as these words were said, the two were dumbfounded, since ancient times, there are only a handful of wives who encourage their husbands to take concubines, and it can be said that there are almost no in history, not to mention taking the initiative to give up the position of the wife, Lian'er's approach can be regarded as deviant enough; And Master Yang immediately understood Lian'er's deep meaning, but he was not easy to express his position, and Qin Zhihong had previously said that he wanted to enjoy the "blessings of Qi people", but it was also a joke with Lian'er, how could he agree at this moment? At the moment of stalemate, Lian'er continued:

"Dad, if you don't speak, your daughter should have agreed with you, as for Qin Zhihong's kid......" He paused and said proudly: "What I said, do you dare to disagree?" Besides, our sisters are wronged by you, let you be beautiful, and dare to pick and choose? ”

When Qin Zhihong heard this, he didn't dare to speak, but at this time, Master Yang laughed and said, "Okay! In this case, we are all people who practice martial arts, and we don't have to pay attention to those bullshit rules, so I will make the decision for Ziyi, and it will be decided, but it doesn't have to be divided into sizes, my two daughters marry a son-in-law, will it not be harmonious? ”

Although Qin Zhihong said that he didn't dare to refute, but thinking about today's sudden danger and getting two beautiful wives and concubines for no reason, his heart was naturally beautiful, and he thought to himself that he had cultivated great virtue in his previous life, so he couldn't make it hard in this life, and he really lived up to the hardships he had endured in his previous life, so he didn't shirk anymore.

The three of them were all overjoyed, and Old Man Yang immediately asked the servant to invite his wife and daughter over, and then told the mother and daughter what had just happened. In fact, Qin Zhihong's actions are obvious to all in the Yang Mansion, he not only saved the whole Yang family, but also made everyone think that he was righteous and kind. Ziyi is a traditional boudoir woman, she rarely goes out to see the opposite sex since she was a child, and suddenly there is such a heroic Qin Zhihong at home (although on the whole, he is sometimes greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for small profits, but the fragment of Yang's house also makes his image tall and mighty), and he has long been secretly promised, and when he enters the house, a pair of wonderful eyes stay on Qin Zhihong from time to time, which makes Qin Zhihong a little uncomfortable.

The mother and daughter naturally had no objections, and Lian'er immediately leaned over and grabbed Ziyi's hand, chatted about family life, and said that she would live with Ziyi tonight, and would no longer pretend to be a husband and wife with Qin Zhihong, which made everyone laugh. Qin Zhihong was also happy that he could monopolize the entire big bed, and he didn't refute it, besides, it was also their Yang family's business, what did he have to do with himself?

After Master Yang laughed, he said to Qin Zhihong and Lian'er: "Lian'er, Zhihong, I have a word about the two of you about rescuing the vermilion lantern, I don't know if I can say it?" ”

Qin Zhihong immediately said: "If the old man has anything to say, what you say must be very useful." ”

Elder Yang also nodded, so he said: "Actually, don't say that you two, even if all the boxers in the SD realm make trouble in JN Mansion, it won't help, but you will die here." Besides, presumably Zhu Daxia doesn't want you to be a moth to the fire, to no avail, but from his personal point of view, he hopes that the two of you can escape this catastrophe, and then regroup in order to make a difference in the future. He paused, then continued:

"I don't mean not to save it, but the way to save it is not to be so brutal, but to pay attention to strategy."

Lian'er couldn't wait to say: "Please also ask your father-in-law to show you the way!" ”

Old Man Yang said: "When I was chatting with Xiao Liuzi during the day today, I accidentally learned from him that SD Governor Yuxian appeased the boxers at the beginning, and used his strength to fight against foreign religions, and finally led the foreigners to be dissatisfied and put pressure on the imperial court, and finally killed the Yihe Fist on a large scale, which made people panic and there was no end. So the imperial court has sent the Beiyang general Yuan Shikai as the governor of SD, and transferred Yuxian back to Beijing to restore his life, I think, at this time, although Zhu Daxia is in prison, but there is no worry about his life, if my estimate is good, the execution of Zhu Daxia will wait for Yuan Shikai to take office, and during this time, you can go to find helpers, arrest you to act, and rescue Zhu Daxia in one fell swoop while Yuan Shikai is not familiar with SD. ”

Qin Zhihong heard Old Man Yang's words, and immediately said to Lian'er: "Without further ado, let's leave for CZ tomorrow and ask my master to send someone to act together!" ”

Lian'er nodded in agreement, so everyone chatted for a while, and then dispersed.

This night, Qin Zhihong naturally slept in the same bed by himself, and remembered that he had escaped the catastrophe today and earned two wives who were like flowers, so he couldn't help rolling on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, even after falling asleep late at night, he woke up with a smile in his dream.

And Lian'er came to Ziyi's house to sleep with her this night, and the two of them had a hot fight after a few words - it seems that ancient women also liked to gossip on the ground, but they didn't leave the house, and they didn't have this condition. Ziyi is the kind of gentle and intelligent woman, Lian'er walks around the rivers and lakes all the year round, plus her seniority is high, so she always thought she was older than Ziyi, but she didn't expect that she was ten or five years old this year, but Ziyi was one year older than her, the same age as Qin Zhihong, so Lian'er became a younger sister instead, which made Lian'er also excited, although she has many senior brothers who let her on weekdays, but after all, men and women feel different, the senior brother loves her like a father, and has a gentle and virtuous sister, but she is meticulous, this is the first time that Lian'er has a sense of home.

The two of them lay side by side on the bed and refused to fall asleep, so Lian'er told Ziyi how she and Qin Zhihong met and how Qiao Zhuang traveled the rivers and lakes for husband and wife together. Ziyi was naturally unheard of and full of interest in this, especially when she first met Qin Zhihong in the mansion of the monk Benming in JN Mansion, which made Ziyi laugh.

Ziyi suddenly had such an omnipotent sister, and her heart was endlessly happy, and the most important thing was that her sweetheart finally married her, and her heart was even more happy. As for the man's three wives and four concubines, the woman at that time was psychologically acceptable, didn't Ziyi's father, Master Yang, accept two aunts? Moreover, their sisters care about each other, although psychologically speaking, this estrangement still exists, but China's thousands of years of culture have long digested this discomfort to the most primitive state. You can say that women cannot be emancipated, but under the realistic conditions of society, how can individuals fight against dogma, and if Ziyi is allowed to marry Young Master Cheng monogamatously and make a choice with this, I think the facts will be clear.

In fact, the evolution of human beings is not only the evolution of physiology, but also the evolution of culture and system, a lion or baboon, as long as it is strong, can dominate all the opposite sex in the group, and the equality of men and women to this day is a portrayal of these evolutionary age rock formations. Therefore, it is inappropriate to use modern lofty theories to evaluate an ancient, such as the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who was proficient in mathematics, physical education, aesthetics, physics, etc., but it is estimated that it is not as profound as the curriculum of a junior high school student now, but can you say that he is not even as good as a junior high school student?

It's just that one is watching "Animal World" on the TV at home, and the other is the difference between being accompanied by penguins on a glacier in Antarctica.
