Chapter 237: Shadow Sisters
"You grew up in the clan when you were a child, I don't know if you noticed that there are very few men surnamed Yun in our Yun family? The vast majority of the clan are women? ”
Wu Ansu hadn't been back for many years since he left the Yun Family Clan Academy at the age of six, but he still vaguely remembered what the Yun Clan's family looked like back then.
As her mother Wu Xia said, the ratio of men and women in the Yun clan is extremely different, except for those men with foreign surnames who have joined the Yun family, there are very few men with real Yun bloodline, but there are a lot of women, and there are all warblers and swallows as far as the eye can see.
Wu Ansu had never thought about it before, but at this moment, when his mother mentioned it, he suddenly felt that this matter was a little strange.
"Why is this happening? Is there any difference between our Yun family and ordinary people? ”
"Silly boy, you wouldn't have found out yet, would you?" Wu Xia gently grabbed Wu Ansu's delicate hands and rubbed them against her face, "You kid didn't like to wear makeup and maintenance like an ordinary girl since he was a child, but didn't you notice that your skin was always similar to the elasticity of your seventeen or eighteen years old?" ”
Wu Ansu nodded, her skin is good but famous in the bureau, many female colleagues have asked her more than once how to maintain such delicate skin, but she can't answer, after all, she usually washes her face with cold water indiscriminately, and then applies some moisturizing moisturizer to finish, which makes the other party often think that she cherishes herself with a broom and does not want to share it with them.
She is not popular among the female policemen in the bureau, and this is partly due to this.
"This is the special thing about our Yun family, as long as it is a woman of our Yun family's bloodline, when she reaches a certain age, her body will suddenly slow down her growth.
Depending on the individual's constitution, it is 2-5 times slower than the average person, and it is said that there was an ancestor in the clan who reached 10 times and was still a cardamom girl until he died.
The ancestors of our Yun family have done statistics and found out the law, generally speaking, the earlier the growth slowdown occurs, the higher the slowdown multiple.
This point in time is called the 'freezing point', which means that time begins to freeze.
My freeze point is at twenty-six, and yours is at twenty-two, which means that by the time you reach my age, you will definitely look much younger than I look now.
Therefore, when you and Li Mengnan are together, you don't need to worry about your age at all, for the women of our Yun family, age is just a number, and it has no other meaning except for calculating how long you have lived. ”
Wu Ansu couldn't help but be stunned, she always thought that her mother's "myth of immortality" was the only one, but she didn't expect that she was the same.
"Then why haven't you ever sued me before?"
Wu Ansu couldn't figure out why his mother had hidden such a big secret until now.
"Silly boy, of course I'm doing it for your own good...... Do you know what it means to have an ageless appearance? Once this thing leaks out, it will be enough to make any man around you crazy about you, and do you think that by then, you will still be able to live as quietly as you are now? ”
Wu Ansu finally understood his mother's good intentions.
If a man's greatest capital is his talent, power and wealth, then a woman's greatest capital is undoubtedly her appearance. But youth is fleeting, red faces are easy to grow old, and the so-called allure of the country and the city is only ten years, and the stunning beauty will not escape the day of goosebumps.
But the women of the Yun family don't have to worry about this at all, the magical "freezing point" can keep their appearance forever at the time when women are the most beautiful, and truly realize the legendary "since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world".
Why do men nowadays always look for a new love after marriage? Is it true that he has no feelings for his wife? Most of them are actually the genes in the body that seek to reproduce young people of the opposite sex, that is, the so-called love and sex are separated.
But if a woman can stay at her most beautiful moment forever, just like "if life is only as first seen", how many men will be at home for more than ten years, and still charming beauties, but instead take the risk of family breakup and go outside to find a fresh woman who is only a few years of youth?
There is no doubt that based on this alone, the women of the Yun family are the best that all men dream of.
Although Wu Ansu figured out the deep meaning of her mother's doing, another question followed.
"Sister Xia, if you say so, the women of our Yun family should be very popular, but why do you have to buy a woman who marries a woman like one get one free every time you marry a woman?"
"This is what I want to tell you, the real biggest secret of our Yun family." Wu Xia patted Wu Ansu's arm and motioned for her to sit up from her arms, the two faced each other, and said: "There is nothing in this world that is not earned for nothing, this God is fair, there will be losses if you get it...... The youth and beauty of our Yun family women were actually exchanged for the lives of Yun family men. ”
"Sister Xia, what does this mean?" Hearing this, Wu Ansu shuddered a little.
"No one knows why this is happening, our Yun family is like being cursed, don't look at women who will always be beautiful like flowers, but none of the men of the Yun family can live past the age of thirty, they also have a time point similar to ours'freezing point', called 'endpoint', once this point in time, the men of the Yun family will reach the aging process that ordinary people need to reach for decades in a few years, and then move towards the end of their lives."
Speaking of this, Wu Xia was silent for a long time, and just when Wu Ansu couldn't stand this silent suppression and was about to ask again, she suddenly sighed and continued: "Because of this, except for the eldest son, our Yun family is basically inherited by women, and it doesn't matter what the surname is, with this cursed 'freezing point' and 'endpoint', no matter what your surname is, it can't change the fact that you are a member of the Yun family."
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, and Huaxia has had such a tradition since ancient times.
Marrying a woman from our Yun family means either giving up the inheritance of the bloodline, or suffering this cursed fate with the Yun family.
This is unacceptable to many men, and there are countless lovers in the Yun family who have parted ways because of this matter in the past dynasties, so a certain generation of ancestors of the Yun family has set the rules for marrying a girl in the main house and marrying a photo room, so as to make up for the loss and regret of the other party because of marrying a daughter of the Yun family. ”
Wu Ansu was speechless for a long time in shock, she didn't expect that there was such a terrible "curse" in her seemingly superior bloodline.
Understanding is understanding, but it is not so easy for her to accept.
"Sister Xia, that's in the past after all...... What age is it now, men and women have long been equal, and they still keep such an ancient family rule, doesn't anyone think it's unreasonable? ”
Wu Xia suddenly stretched out her finger and flicked it on Wu Ansu's head, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, this is just the talk of those so-called feminists, the social division of labor between men and women is different from the beginning, how can it be equal?" ”
Wu Ansu has always thought that he is not inferior to any man, and immediately retorted unconvinced: "Sister Xia, I don't like to hear what you say, you can tell me, I have been growing up, where is it worse than those men?" Why can't you be equal to them? ”
"A man can be shirtless in the summer, can you? Men can pee standing up, can you? Men can take cold showers 365 days a year, can you? ”
Wu Xia asked a rhetorical question that seemed to be an understatement, and immediately asked Wu Ansu speechless, and only after a long time did she say: "Sister Xia, you are cheating, I am a woman, how can I do these things that only men can do?" ”
"Look, at this time, you also know that you are a woman, why don't you ask for equality between men and women?" Wu Xia peeled an apple and handed it to Wu Ansu, and said earnestly: "In this world, the existence of everything has its specific positioning...... The roots of a tree should honestly take root in the soil to absorb water, and the leaves should strive to receive the sun upwards.
In the same way, God created men to be strong so that they could hunt and conquer, and women to be rich, so that they could better please men and nurse their offspring.
Don't look at the many women who shout about equality between men and women, but as long as you ask them, whether they are willing to get married and buy a house will pay half of the cost, and let men rest for a week every month after marriage, they will basically be exposed. ”
After pausing for a while, leaving enough time for Wu Ansu to think, Wu Xia continued: "Xiao Su, you should have heard your father say that my temper was the same as yours before, arrogant, rude, and unreasonable...... But such a family structure is unhealthy, men are under much more pressure outside than we women, and what is needed to return home is a gentle embrace, not questioning and accusations like the outside world.
I'm ashamed to say that I only learned it from your aunt in the studio a few years after I got married. ”
Wu Ansu suddenly remembered that when she was young, her father really didn't like to go home for a while, and rarely talked to her mother, until she was five years old, the relationship between her parents gradually began to heat up, and it turned out that there was such an inside story.
"It's good for a girl to have an independent personality, but individuality doesn't mean she has to be strong...... You have to remember that a man is a creature that eats soft rather than hard, and as long as you make him feel more comfortable here than anywhere else, he will stay by your side for the rest of his life. ”
Wu Ansu's strong personality is only external, and she has been taught by words and deeds since she was a child, and she still agrees with her mother's point of view, but she can't help but feel a little embarrassed when she thinks of herself: "Sister Xia, I'm ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”
"As long as you really like someone, there's nothing you can't do."
Wu Xia looked at her daughter with relief, in Wu Ansu's body, she seemed to see her own shadow back then.
"To be honest, in fact, what I'm most worried about is not how you get along with Li Mengnan, but how you get along with your sister from Aunt Yingfang's family......"
"My aunt's sister...... Is it? ”
Wu Ansu realized that she actually had to face a bigger problem than dating Li Mengnan, even if she was burdened with a curse in her blood, as a woman who had received modern education since she was a child, it was still difficult for her to accept this forced arrangement to share her loved ones with other women.
Not even a half-sister.
"Sister Xia, do you have to do this?" Although Wu Ansu knew how strict the Yun family's clan rules were since she was a child, she still wanted to try to fight for it.
It's a pity that there was no surprise in the answer, and Wu Xia shook her head with an extremely stern expression.
At that time, Wu Xia once forced Li Hongming to meet her father, but in the end, because Li Hongming resolutely refused to accept the family rule of the dowry studio, she had to forcibly sever the relationship between the two and marry Wu Ansu's father who didn't like it very much, which shows that the Yun clan's rules are irreversible.
"Xiao Su, whether it's for yourself or for Li Mengnan, you'd better not be willful, you should know very well that the Yun family's family law is not a joke...... If you think you can't accept it, then don't have feelings for anyone for the rest of your life, otherwise you will only harm others and yourself. ”
Wu Xia's tone was very harsh, but Wu Ansu knew that her mother was not alarmist, and the Yun family's family law was not as simple as painless verbal punishment or confinement, which would really kill people.
And that's violence beyond the law, and once targeted, no one can escape.
Seeing Wu Ansu's gloomy expression, Wu Xia also realized that her words might be a little heavy, and comforted: "Don't think too much, in fact, the storage of the movie room is not as difficult to accept as you think...... The education in the studio is different from that in our main room, when you get in touch with them, you will find that they are actually very good people, and there is only good and no harm to you. ”
"Okay, Sister Xia, don't let my heart go."
"Do you think I'm comforting you?" Wu Xia laughed, "I'm just talking about a fact...... Men are like children, before they have children of their own, they are completely uncertain, playful, and the pursuit of novelty is their nature.
Don't think that the women of our Yun family can take advantage of their eternal youth, you must know that the women of our Yun family really began to exert their strength after the age of thirty, and before that, you and other women were actually on the same starting line.
At this time, your sisters in the shadow room are your biggest helpers, and no man can refuse this temptation to cheat openly, let alone a pair of siblings who will never grow old?
It's true that it may not feel good to share your loved ones with someone, but have you ever thought about the possibility of failure?
Is it better to share it with your own siblings? Or is it better to marry someone you don't like for nothing, or to live alone all your life? ”
Although Wu Ansu wanted to refute "why do you think I would fail", but when the words came to her mouth, she found that she didn't have this confidence at all, after all, Li Mengnan had always regarded her as an ordinary friend, if it weren't for her mother's help, Li Mengnan would not have agreed to try to date her for a while.
But it's just a trial, it's like a trial period for online shopping, and if you find that it doesn't work well, you will eventually have to return it.
Since her family knows her own affairs, with her character, Li Mengnan would have called a long time ago if she could call, and she didn't have to delay until now, so if she didn't add some additional weight, once this probationary period passed, she would 100% not be able to escape the result of being "returned".
And thinking about it from another angle, as the bloodline of the Yun family, unless she decides to die alone, she can't escape the fate of sharing the same man with the shadow room after all, in this case, it is better to choose someone she really likes than to spend the rest of her life in infinite regret like her mother......
From this point of view, this sister in the shadow room who she has never met is really a killer weapon that she can use to settle the situation in one fell swoop.
"Sister Xia, you don't seem to have told me about my aunt and sister in the shadow room...... What kind of people are they? Since you accepted them, why didn't they live with us? ”
Although it is a bit semi-obsessive, Wu Ansu has already decided to try to accept this reality from this moment on.
Seeing that Wu Ansu did not resist willfully, Wu Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
What she is most afraid of is that Wu Ansu will not be able to accept the unique family rules of the shadow room, after all, Wu Ansu has always received the most orthodox education in modern society, and it is obviously very difficult for her to fully accept this ancient rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years for a while.
Fortunately, six years of ethnography when she was a child, as well as her subsequent subtle words and deeds, played a role, Wu Ansu accepted this reality with just a little argument, and did not make drastic moves, otherwise in the face of ruthless clan rules and family laws, even she would not be able to protect Wu Ansu.
"Speaking of which, the person your father really likes is your aunt, she is a woman who is as gentle as water, and even now I can't even catch up with half of what she was back then.
That shadow sister of yours...... To be precise, it should be your pair of sisters in the studio, they were actually triplets, but unfortunately one died at birth, and only two remained.
When they were six years old, your two sister sisters were found to have a strong talent in the clan, so they were transferred to the clan's law enforcement team as alternates.
Your aunt would stay in the clan for a week every month to take care of them, and then when your father died, she stayed in the clan and never returned.
But if you get a boyfriend back to you, according to the rules of the clan, your two shadow sisters should come back. ”
Wu Ansu was suddenly shocked, blushing and waving his hand again and again: "This ...... They haven't even skimmed these eight words, and they're coming back, isn't it? ”
Although he had already decided to accept the storage of the studio in his heart, Wu Ansu felt surprisingly awkward when he thought of making a drag with Li Mengnan in the future, followed by two light bulbs.
There is no one she knows who is in love like this, and she can't find a reference if she wants to, which makes her embarrassed as a novice in love......
