What is home?

Home is when you come back at night, someone lights a lamp and waits for you, and the person who is going to wait is waiting.

The house is not home, the lamp is home.

What Xu Jingzong said tonight, if people in a thousand years, especially women, heard it, they would inevitably pout first, and then scold a bastard with disdain, which belongs to a typical straight male terminal cancer patient, but in today's era of Tang Zhenguan, Xu Jingzong's words are not wrong at all, and it can even be said that he said it from the position of relative respect for women.

The times are different, the values are not the same, the folk customs are simple and enlightened during the Zhenguan period, the social status of women is relatively high, at this time science is not in the world, the Ming and Qing dynasties those perverted literati distorted Confucianism did not appear, and there is no market for vices such as binding small feet, however, this is only relatively, in general, it is still a male-dominated society, and women are still subordinate to men, even if they are the wife of the command, they are still attached.

Xu Jingzong said these words in order to relieve his niece, he is very clear about Li Su and Princess Dongyang, and he also knows the reason why his niece is entangled in his heart, Xu Mingzhu is a woman with a little inferiority, but although she has low self-esteem, she is smart enough, and the rumors in the hustle and bustle are all over the city, until now, every time Li Su goes out, Xu Mingzhu knows very well what he is going to do.

Who is married, and who is the person who really lives in their hearts, the three of them know.

married a red rose, still thinking about the bright moonlight in front of the bed, married a white rose, and always had an indelible cinnabar mole in his heart.

Marriage, love, **, fearlessness and obsession, simple three people, entangled into an unreasonable mess.

Xu Jingzong looked at his niece who was silent. sighed: "Mingzhu, in the past few years since you married into the Li family, you must also be able to see that Li Su is a capable person, his future is limitless, and it is impossible to be just a county marquis." In the future, the government will be opened, and the kings of the land will not know, the Li family will become a big family sooner or later, you are the wife of the Li family, the affairs of the Li family, some of them you have to hold in your hands, and you must not fake them to outsiders, and some things, you don't touch them. When you encounter it, quickly dodge, pretend to be confused, ignore it, or even become a thing, the main room must have the mind and bearing of the main room, if you are less open-minded, the husband and wife will not stop you, and the relationship between husband and wife will eventually disappear. At the end of the day, you do the math, what do you get? ”

"There are so many powerful families in Chang'an City. Among those forty or fifty-year-old ministers and generals, which one didn't buy a concubine every few days and come back? Which son of a powerful family doesn't spend all day in the land of fireworks in Qinglou to have fun? Look at them, and then look at your husband, he is already very self-disciplined, compared to the original wives of those old ministers and old generals, you are blessed. As for his affair with Princess Dongyang......"

Xu Jingzong's expression became more and more serious, and he said in a deep voice: "That affair, before you married into the Li family, he didn't know you at that time, and you didn't know him. You are now the eldest woman of the Li family, you can hold the Li family in the palm of your hand, and be a virtuous housekeeper, but you must not hold him in the palm of your hand, Li Su is not something you can hold. Therefore, the affair between him and Princess Dongyang will not become a thing of the past, every day, every year, will exist, if you can't accept it, you can only choose to give up. ”

"It's good to think about it, accept it or give it up, one thought is clear, and it can't be repeated."

Xu Jingzong said a big call, Xu Mingzhu kept his head silent, and then raised his head, revealing an open-minded look.

"Uncle cousin, my niece can't give it up, since she is husband and wife, how can she give it up? The husband has a good character, high ability, knowledge, merit and status, these are not important, the important thing is that I know that the husband has me in his heart, which is enough, although I also know that he has others in his heart...... But what does it matter? The husband has a big heart, why not live a few more people in it, just squeeze it, even if I go back to a few years ago, let me make another choice, I think, I will still marry him, he is my husband, different from the men in the world, I Xu Mingzhu can marry such a husband, it is a blessing from God, my mother has long been taught, to be a man, especially to be a woman, to cherish the blessing. ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and said with a smile: "If you can see it, you will be enlightened, very good, in this way, I don't have to worry about it." ”

Xu Jingzong was completely relieved.

Speaking of which, Li Su and Xu Mingzhu's marriage, he was the initiator, at that time Xu Jingzong had the idea of clinging, when Li Su was not yet sealed as the county, he had expected that this son would have a soaring day, it turned out that Xu Jingzong's vision was very vicious, Li Su really had prosperous official luck, smooth sailing, and the merits that were established seemed to be easy to do at all, and it was easy to be promoted all the way to the county marquis, looking at the world of the Tang Dynasty, there is no background, there is no power of the family gate, completely relying on his own real credit, A young man who became a county marquis at the age of twenty, who else is there besides Li Su? He is only in his twenties, his life has just begun, and his future prospects and achievements, even if they cannot be predicted, can be said with certainty, he must be an official and a high-ranking lord, who entered the province and Taiwan, and became the pillar of the country.

Tonight, Xu Jingzong's words with his niece are half of the heartfelt concern for the younger generations of the family, and the other half is inevitably a little utilitarian, he is worried that his niece will not be able to tolerate Li Su's other affair, if the husband and wife have a rift or even a grudge because of this, when Li Su's official title is higher and more powerful in the future, how can he get the light of the Li family?

Fortunately, Xu Mingzhu was sensible, and Xu Jingzong finally let go of his worries.

*****************************************************************

When Xu Mingzhu returned to the inner courtyard, it was already late at night.

A bright half-moon hung in the night sky, sprinkling cold stars through the lush foliage in the middle of the courtyard.

Xu Mingzhu's steps were very slow, very light, the long eyebrows were slightly frowned, I didn't know what was on her mind, and when she walked to the door of Li Su's study, the frowning eyebrows had gradually stretched.

There was a light in the study, Xu Mingzhu stood outside the door for a while, looking a little hesitant, and finally gritted his teeth and carefully pushed the door open.

In the study, Li Su was reading a book, and Xu Mingzhu pushed the door and saw the title of the book, "Sanyuan Zhenjing".

Xu Mingzhu read a lot of books, and when she saw the title of the book, she knew that it was a Taoist classic, not only that, but she also knew that the author of the book was written by Li Chunfeng, the master of Princess Dongyang.

With the title of a book, you can already see a lot of things.

Seeing Xu Mingzhu come in, Li Su put down the book and smiled gently: "Young Eunuch Xu is gone?" ”

Xu Mingzhu drooped her eyelids: "Yes, the concubine has sent her cousin away." ”

"It's so late, why doesn't Madame rest?"

Xu Mingzhu hesitated for a moment and said: "Before the husband went home, Uncle Cousin and the concubine said something, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Chang'an City will release the curfew on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many powerful families will invite colleagues to visit the garden, Uncle Tang said...... The husband is a new county marquis, and he should also pack a garden according to the ceremony, and invite the old ministers and generals of Chang'an City and their families to visit the garden, which is also considered a courtesy, I don't know what the husband wants? ”
