Chapter 31: Being a Man with His Tail Between His Legs (2-in-1)
"Please review it with Teacher Shangguan." Liu Zixuan respectfully held the scroll with both hands and held it high above the top, looking like an ancient student who respected teachers and respected good students.
"Hmm." Shangguan touched the beard that didn't exist, stroked the 'beard' and smiled: "The child can be taught!" β
Xiang Beibei and Zhang Tingting on both sides laughed, and Liu Zixuan couldn't help laughing, and laughed twice.
The competent person put the scroll in front of him and read it in a circle.
Liu Zixuan was very nervous, because she could feel the difficulty of this test paper, if this test paper was about the same as the difficulty of the college entrance examination, I was afraid that her math score was not optimistic.
Sure enough, after Shangguan was able to score, Liu Zixuan was very frustrated.
"113 points? So low? Zhang Tingting saw the score and said in surprise, only after saying that she knew that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly covered her mouth and looked at Liu Zixuan apologetically.
Liu Zixuan shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn't care.
"Got it in general." Shangguan handed the test paper to Liu Zixuan and said: "Some formulas you use are still not flexible enough, but the foundation is very good, and there are almost no points lost in the basic questions. β
"Hmm." Liu Zixuan looked at the places where she lost points, all of them were problems with formula operations, and she also knew her shortcomings and accepted them with an open mind.
"Let's do it first!" Shangguan Nengren looked at the time, it was already past 11 o'clock, and said, "The rest of the rolls will be talked about in the afternoon, what do you want to eat at noon?" The last sentence was addressed to the third daughter.
Liu Zixuan hurriedly said: "Anything, I don't pick my mouth." β
Zhang Tingting said: "Look at it!" β
Xiang Beibei smiled and said, "You can make your own decisions in the future!" If we want to eat, we will say yes in advance. β
Shangguan Nengren sighed and stood up: "Count me as asking in vain, then I'll do something simple!" β
When Shangguan was cooking, Liu Zixuan looked at Xiang Beibei and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Squinted at Bei Bei and smiled, "Something on my face?" β
"It's not." Liu Zixuan shook his head again and again: "I just think...... You're such a beautiful girl, but you're willing to ...... Well. I heard that Shangguan has a fiancΓ©e, so what kind of girl is his fiancΓ©e? β
Xiang Beibei didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Zhang Tingting.
Zhang Tingting's face was a little embarrassed, and said, "I think that since they are good friends, even if they say it, it's nothing ......."
Xiang Beibei's eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Then can I tell you about it?" β
Zhang Tingting's face flushed. Bow your head: "Whatever you want." β
Seeing this, Liu Zixuan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." It was I who chased Tingting and asked, she had to tell me, it's all my fault, if you want to be angry, come at me! β
"Hehe, I'm not angry." Xiang Beibei smiled: "But after all, this is my private matter, and I don't want anyone else to know." β
Liu Zixuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will be tight-lipped." β
Zhang Tingting said guiltily: "I won't talk nonsense to people in the future." β
Xiang Beibei smiled slightly: "That's good." β
paused: "As for my husband's fiancΓ©e...... Hehe. Maybe her appearance is not the most beautiful in the world, but that pure crystal-like temperament is rare in the world, and I think she and her husband are very compatible. β
Now that Liu Zixuan already knows the relationship between her and the competent person, Xiang Beibei has resumed the title of the husband of the competent person, Liu Zixuan is mentally prepared and does not feel surprised, but he is full of curiosity about the crystal pure girl who said to Beibei: "Is there really such a girl?" Then I'd love to see it. β
"If it's a photo, my husband should have it on his phone." Said to Beibei.
"Oh?" Liu Zixuan's eyes flashed with curiosity. looked at the two: "Do you mind if I go to borrow a mobile phone from Shangguan?" ββ¦,
"Please." smiled at Beibei.
Zhang Tingting has no opinion.
"I'm sorry." Liu Zixuan stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
At this time, Shangguan was washing vegetables, and when he saw Liu Zixuan walking in, he asked, "Why are you here?" What about them? β
Liu Zixuan gathered her ears and sideburns and smiled: "They are all in the living room, huh...... Shangguan, I heard that you have a photo of your fiancΓ©e on your phone, can I take a look? β
Shangguan snorted. put the washed dishes on the cutting board, and said with a smile: "It's nothing good-looking, she is not as beautiful as you." β
On looks. Li Bingjie is at the same level as Zhang Tingting at most, and she is slightly inferior to Liu Zixuan. But Li Bingjie is superior to ordinary people's temperament, pure as crystal on the outside, holy as an angel, but on the inside there is an endless spirit of exploration of 'physiology'.
Shangguan people have always felt that if they can marry Li Bingjie as a wife in this life, they will earn even if they live 30 years less.
Although she knew that she was praising herself for being beautiful, Liu Zixuan was very happy, but she still wanted to see what the girl who was told so mysterious by Xiang Beibei looked like?
Liu Zixuan smiled: "What am I beautiful!" Even Xiang Beibei can't compare, I think your fiancΓ©e must be more beautiful, don't hide it, let me see it! β
Shangguan shrugged, took out his mobile phone, opened the album, pointed out the photos taken for Li Bingjie before and after the Spring Festival, and handed them to Liu Zixuan: "This is my fiancΓ©e, called Li Bingjie." β
"Oh?" Liu Zixuan was deeply shocked when he saw Li Bingjie in the photo for the first time, and then browsed all the photos, and the shock became bigger and bigger, and finally saw Li Bingjie snuggled in the arms of Shangguan Nengren, after a photo taken by the two, Liu Zixuan returned the mobile phone to Shangshang, his eyes showed a trace of complexity and helplessness, and sighed lightly: "Your fiancΓ©e is really beautiful, and she is very compatible with you." β
"Hehe, thank you." Shangguan put his mobile phone into his trouser pocket and said, "It's just that I'm still young, and I want to get married." β
"How old is she?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Sixteen...... Oh, you Jingren are counted as one year old, and ...... years old," Shangguan thought for a while, and said, "There are still more than five months to fifteen." β
Li Bingjie's birthday is August 26th, the tail of the summer vacation, and school will start in a few days after the birthday, but it can please a good fortune, but Shangguan Nengren has not accompanied Li Bingjie for several years, and similarly, Shangguan Nengren has had birthdays in recent years, and Li Bingjie is not around.
Shangguan people don't care much about birthdays. In the past, he didn't study well, and there were no good classmates in the class, his parents were busy with work, and his birthday or something was just like that, maybe Liu Yilan didn't care much about birthdays, and she didn't invite Shangguan people to her birthday banquet in February, and it was too late when Shangguan people knew.
A few days of Xin Yuyuan's birthday. It was Xin Yuyuan who said it himself, and only the upper officials knew. And except for Li Bingjie and Xiang Beibei's birthdays, Shangguan people don't even know what Zhang Tingting's birthday is, and they don't even know their parents' birthdays.
It's not that Shangguan is not filial, but Shangguan Yi and Li Xinhong haven't had a birthday since Shangguan was born, and Shangguan has asked before, but they smiled and said that there was nothing good about it, probably because they didn't pay attention to birthdays. Only then did Shangguan people not pay much attention to birthdays, and sometimes they didn't even like birthdays, because it showed that he was a year older......
"So small?" Liu Zixuan was taken aback: "I thought she was small!" Isn't she three years younger than you? β
"Yes." Shangguan nodded, cut the green pepper with a kitchen knife, and said: "So if you want to get married, you have to wait for five or six years, hehe, but that is to get the certificate later, my father said that you can have a wedding first, and the marriage certificate can be obtained after you are old enough." ββ¦,
"Uh......" Liu Zixuan was stunned. said: "You guys are popular to have a wedding first and then get a certificate?" β
"Not really." Shangguan can remove the cucumber skin, said: "This depends on the specific situation, some people don't want to get married early, in their thirties, then get the certificate first and then get married, our family is my parents can't wait to hold their grandson, they want us to get married first and then get the certificate, hehe...... But I didn't want to have a baby so early. I heard many men say that children can't be wanted too early, otherwise there will be very little time in the two-person world. And when a woman has a child, she will give more love to the child. My husband has become a simple ATM, an old scalper, and has no status at all, I don't want to do this. β
"Haha, that's how it is for women! After all, the husband can be changed, but the child is the flesh that fell from his body, from the analysis of blood relationship, the husband is a stranger, but the child is his own blood, of course, he is closer to the child. β
Shangguan pouted: "I think it is the embodiment of a woman's empathy, especially if she gives birth to a son, the son is half of the mother's lover, and if you catch up with the husband If it is not good for the wife, it is easy for the woman to transfer her feelings to the son, for men!" It's better to have a daughter, the daughter is the father's intimate little padded jacket, so there is a hope. β
"Haha, not really! As long as the husband is good enough to his wife, the wife will treat the husband and son equally. Liu Zixuan smiled very happily: "So if you get married in the future, be kind to your wife, so as not to give birth to a child, and your wife will give more love to the child." β
"I still need you to say, I definitely love my wife more than anyone else." Shangguan Nengren pursed his lips and said in his heart: Bingjie is such a good girl, if it is not better for her, the sky will thunder!
"That's good." Liu Zixuan smiled, looked at the supernatural cooking skills of Shangguan Nengren, and exclaimed: "Don't say anything else, just because you have good cooking skills, you will definitely be a guest when you open a restaurant by yourself in the future." β
"Coming like a cloud?" Shangguan was stunned, as if he had heard someone say something similar before, and subconsciously said: "You won't find out that there are no clouds after you open, right?" β
Liu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then pondered the taste, and laughed: "The guest is like a cloud...... Cloudless...... Hahaha! I'm laughing to death......"
Shangguan Nengren's eyebrows rose: "Don't be hippie and smiley!" Be serious! β
"Puff ......" Seeing the serious appearance of the competent person, Liu Zixuan couldn't help laughing again, this time he was very restrained, covering his mouth: "Hey, hey, hey......"
Competent man: "......"
"No more smiling, no smiling." Seeing that Shangguan was able to pick up the kitchen knife, Liu Zixuan hurriedly held back his laughter and snorted for a long time, then suppressed his laughter, coughed dryly, and said: "Shangguan classmate, I think you are very good, and your fiancΓ©e must be very happy." β
"I love to hear that." Shangguan smiled with satisfaction: "But it's useless to pat my ass, I won't give you any more food." β
"I don't need to." Liu Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled: "You are really good, you have to make friends like you." β
"Nope." Shangguan shook his head, the kitchen knife cut vegetables aggressively on the cutting board, and said: "I don't like lively occasions very much, and if I am not close to myself, I am too lazy to go to any party, and I have been going to school for so many years." I haven't made any serious friends, and anyway, if I make friends like me, it must be very boring. β
"Hehe, there are many kinds of friends, but friends like you are the best, there is a saying...... Liu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "Oh." By the way, the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water. I think you're like this, although you're usually plain, but when you really encounter difficulties, you still have to count on friends like you, those who usually drink, eat, sing, and bathe together, but if something happens, it's the most unreliable, and they may be able to add icing on the cake. But yours is the kind of talent that comes in the snow. ββ¦,
"Really?" Shangguan Nengren didn't know that he was so good, and said strangely: "Who did you listen to?" β
"My grandfather said that." Liu Zixuan stuck out his tongue and said: "My grandfather told me that those who usually speak well are basically unreliable, and those who are really reliable are those who usually speak little, but my grandfather also said that it is not easy to get their friendship, but if they admit you." When you really get into trouble, they're the ones who help you.
My grandfather has been very accurate in seeing people for so many years, so I trust my grandfather's judgment, and my grandfather has never praised a young man in front of me, you are the first to be praised by my grandfather, I think it is a very good choice to be friends with you. β
"Yo? Your grandfather still says nice things about me? Shangguan was very surprised: "You don't want to expect me to treat his leg, you deliberately pat me on the back!" β
Liu Zixuan rolled his eyes: "My grandfather is not that kind of person, he would rather die." I don't want to do things against my will, people who say things against my will, you haven't been in contact with my grandfather for a long time. After a long time of contact, you will know that my grandfather is actually a very good person. β
"Hmm. Not to mention anything else, your grandfather's face is upright, and it comes from the heart, and your grandfather is not a bad old man. Shangguan nodded, he had a good impression of Liu Guozhan, the old man, as a cultivator, he had a sense of qi, no matter who was standing in front of him, whether it was good or bad, Shangguan could see it at a glance.
Anything he doesn't like to see, he asks, it's definitely not a good thing, he looks at the ordinary, it's an ordinary citizen, he looks pleasing to the eye, even if the other party is a bad person, he must have good intentions towards him, such as Xiang Beibei, Xiang Beibei is really not a good person, but her affection for Shangguan is real.
It is precisely because Xiang Beibei has affection for him and is willing to sacrifice for him that Shangguan can people like her so much and regard her as one of the most important women in their lives, please forgive Shangguan people for using the word 'one', it is really Li Xinhong, Li Bingjie, and Xin Yuyuan are all equally important to him, and none of them can be missing.
"Of course my grandfather is not a bad old man, otherwise can he become a general of the Celestial Empire?" Liu Zixuan said proudly: "You must know that there are only more than 30 generals in the Celestial Empire so far, and my grandfather is the earliest batch of generals, and he is highly respected. β
"Oh?" Shangguan Nengren muttered in his heart: ProtΓ©gΓ©s and old officials are all over the world? It seems to be talking about the Yuan family at the end of the Han Dynasty! Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu relied on this to become the princes of one party, but they ended up a little miserable, and they seemed to have been eliminated by Cao Cao......
Shangguan nodded: "The prosperity must decline, the object must be reversed, to the status of your grandfather, you will still be a man with your tail between your legs in the future!" Otherwise, it is easy to get into trouble. β
"You don't have a crow's mouth." Liu Zixuan snorted lightly: "It's not a troubled time now, you want to bring down our Liu family in a peaceful and prosperous world?" It's not that easy. β
"Hehe......" Shangguan shook his head with a smile: "It seems that Brother Xilai, who was originally favored, was dismissed before the change!" β
Liu Zixuan was choked, muttered a few times, and said, "That's because he doesn't know how to restrain himself." β
"That's right!" Shangguan Nengren said with a smile: "So the higher the status, the more you have to be a man with your tail between your legs, otherwise you will be easily exposed to the enemy's guns and shoot your head bird...... But your grandfather should understand all this, so I won't talk much. β
Liu Zixuan looked at the competent person, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After lunch and a little rest, Liu Zixuan did another English and Chinese test paper in the afternoon, these two scores are much better than mathematics, one is 142 points, the other is 136 points, Shangguan can not help but nodded: "It seems that you have a good grasp of the basic knowledge, and there is no problem if you want to come to the science comprehensive department, today first, you take this science comprehensive test paper back and do it, let Tingting supervise it." Two and a half hours, waiting for me to score tomorrow morning. ββ¦,
"Thank you, Teacher Shangguan, Teacher Shangguan has worked hard." Liu Zixuan said respectfully.
"Well, it's teachable."
Not again......
In the evening, after listening to Liu Zixuan's remarks to Shangguan Nengren's tail of being a man, Liu Guozhan was silent for a moment and sighed lightly: "Reasonable." Know how to make trade-offs, know how to advance and retreat. I'm really getting more and more fond of this kid, it's a shame. β
Liu Zixuan said: "Grandpa, is the situation of our Liu family really dangerous? β
"It's not dangerous." Liu Guozhan shook his head: "As long as you don't make too many problems, there is no danger, but our Liu family's status in the military is too high, which will always cause some people to be jealous, and they may not be able to see it in ordinary times." If something really happens, they will swarm and never give up until they trample you to death, so Shangguan Nengren is right, the more we reach the current status of our Liu family, the more we have to be a man with our tail between our legs, and any self-righteous second ancestor will definitely bring disaster to the family. β
Speaking of this, Liu Guozhan said solemnly: "Zixuan, you must remember. In the future, we must think twice before acting, our Liu family's merits are already great, now is not the time to fight the country, our Liu family must be more conservative, how to maintain the current status of our Liu family, is the most important. β
"This ......" Liu Zixuan's face was full of struggle and hesitation.
Liu Guozhan sighed: "Zixuan, now our Liu family needs a general to defend the city, but you don't need to worry." After all, you are a woman, no one will stare at you, and you don't need to have too many scruples about what you want to do. After all...... You will also marry sooner or later, and you will not only be a member of the Liu family at that time. β
Liu Zixuan's face changed. Very angry: "Why do we women have no status? The Celestial Empire is patriarchal and unfair! β
Liu Guozhan shook his head: "It's good now, at least the woman can inherit part of the family property, unlike ancient times, when the daughter grows up, it is someone else's, and the family property must be left to the son." β
"Why can't you learn from the United States? In the United States, daughters can also inherit all the family property. Liu Zixuan was indignant.
Liu Guozhan laughed and said: "Silly boy, η±³ε½ is just an emerging country, how many years has it been since the founding of the People's Republic of China?" There is no experience of sustainable governance at all, and the country is gradually declining, and it may not be many years before it will disintegrate like the former Soviet Union, this kind of country, there must be many mistakes in it, and all the family property is inherited by the daughter, which is not necessarily a good thing. β
What Liu Guozhan said is not unreasonable, because women are emotional animals, once moved, it is easy to be deceived by others and have nothing, but men are different, men are very rational, even if they love someone very deeply, they can also deal with problems more rationally, because the physiological structure of men and women is different, resulting in a huge difference in the way of thinking, the experience summed up by the ancestors of the Celestial Empire for thousands of years finally has his reason, after all, there is a Wu Zetian in history, after her reign is over, I couldn't find a second woman to inherit her throne, so I had to return to the Li family.
Whether it is governing the country or the family, you can't be emotional, because emotionality is likely to invite disaster, so women who are more likely to be emotional can only manage the internal affairs of the family, and in the external affairs and general direction, they need a rational man to control, which is the inevitability of conforming to the laws of the ethnic group for thousands of years.
"I'm just not convinced! Who said that women are inferior to men! Liu Zixuan said angrily.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zixuan is still a feminist.
Liu Guozhan smiled helplessly: "Zixuan, it stands to reason that grandpa shouldn't tell you this, but your mentality is really unacceptable." β
"Why do you want it? What's the point of my struggle for women's power? β
"There's nothing wrong with fighting for women's rights." Liu Guozhan shook his head and said, "But women have won the power of men, should they also be like men and pay something?" β
"Pay for what?" Liu Zixuan doesn't understand what to give?
"Hehe......" Liu Guozhan smiled: "For example, although men control the main power of society, but now social morality requires men to be good to women, to pay more to women, to support the family is necessary, but also to worry about family affairs, it is men who go out to eat and pay the bills, it is men who marry a daughter-in-law, and it is men who prepare houses and cars, even if it is a war, it is men who rush to the forefront, since women want to fight for equal power with men, is it not the same as men first?" β
