Section 79 Premarital Education and Interpretation (I)
Because he was restrained by the old people in the wooden house with words to cultivate his face, Luo Kaixian was depressed and anxious, not far from his Chinese army camp, and Li Ji in the boy camp also did not get any peace.
Since she began to prepare for the mass wedding of more than 1,000 soldiers, Li Ji's ears have not been very quiet, except when she was telling stories to the children of the boy boy camp and doing training, there were always women from the old Tang camp who came to the door to talk. After that group wedding, there were a lot of three aunts and six women who didn't need to be busy with the trivial things in the camp to gossip, if they were all to help prepare for the marriage, the problem was that many people simply came over to set up, so that she had to deal with those endless visits when embroidering wedding dresses.
Li Ji never thought that it would be very easy for others to marry, and it would become so troublesome when it was her turn.
The old father is an old blacksmith who doesn't understand his daughter's heart, and the man he likes can't meet for the time being, so she is inevitably a little emotionally out of control in the past two days. One moment I thought of my past in Sylván, and the other I thought of all things since Constantinople, in short, I cried and laughed for a while, and I was not sure.
Although the four female men who guarded Li Ji's safety adapted to some normal life and were more feminine, they were not sensitive people who knew how to observe words and feelings, including Ge Rina, the personal maid who had been with her for many years, did not notice her complex emotions, but Ms. Annalia, who had experienced ups and downs, found that this student who was also a girl was a little emotionally abnormal.
"Siniang, you ...... Got something on your mind? "Helped to sort out some of the miscellaneous items for Li Ji's wedding, Analia asked softly.
Also sitting on the stone kang covered with thick fur, Li Ji was stunned for a while before she reacted, shook her head and said, "Teacher, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ”
"Tired?" Analia answered suspiciously, and then looked at Li Ji carefully, and said with a threat in her eyes: "Siniang, if you have something to hide, it's not your way, do you still want to hide it from me, a teacher?" ”
Although she was in a bad mood, Li Ji still keenly felt the danger of her teacher, in order not to be asked by her ears, she said very casually, "Teacher, why do you say that women want to marry, they are too tired......"
"Huh?" Analia was stunned for a moment, then said, "What? Regretted it? Or are you scared? ”
"No, no, it's not regret, it's not fear, it's just ......" Li Ji's face turned red instantly, she knew that her teacher liked to call truth in everything, but she couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Analia didn't ask as Li Ji imagined, but was silent for a while before she said a little leisurely: "Siniang, I have also been married, I know what you are thinking...... You're so much luckier than I am......"
"Teacher, can you tell us about your youth?" The anxious Li Ji blurted out the question she wanted to ask many years ago, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Analia was not annoyed, raised her hand and stroked Li Ji's hair held high, and said with some envy: "Don't dodge!" The teacher is not angry, I have never told you before, because you don't understand, now Siniang, you are about to get married, and you should also teach you how to be a wife, oh, you A-Niang, I still remember A-Niang, she is a smart person, didn't she teach you? ”
"Auntie?" Of course, Li Ji remembered her dead A-Niang, although she was less than eight years old at the time, "The last thing A-Niang told me was to see men clearly, and don't let go of the man who sees it easily...... I didn't understand it at all when I was a child, and I knew that I met the third brother......"
"Heh......" Analia smiled bitterly, "It's still your aunt who is smart, just one sentence...... It's just for you to find the most suitable man! ”
Li Ji didn't respond, but her pale face flushed a little because she thought of the dead A-Niang.
Analia ignored Li Ji's silence, but talked about the past by herself, "I was just sixteen years old when I first got married, and I married a general next to the Constantine family, that person looked very likable to women, and had a royal background, and my father liked a marriage very much, I was very ignorant at that time, and I didn't have any ideas at all, and the result was ......"
Hearing the teacher talk about the past, Li Ji pricked up her ears, and just when she heard the pause, she interjected and asked, "What is the result?" Teacher, why can't you choose someone you like? ”
"Pick someone you like? Hehe......" Analia smiled bitterly, "Siniang, if it weren't for your aunt's last words when she died, would your grandfather allow you to choose your own husband?" No, just like your youngest brother Li He's marriage has already been arranged, in Macedonian customs, the child's future and marriage must follow the words of the father, and the mother has no chance to speak. ”
Li Ji's eyes turned red instantly, she knew better than anyone that she was able to choose her own husband, which was completely Cheng Ze's last wish for her dead aunt. At this time, she was extremely glad that she had run away to Constantinople, otherwise she would definitely not have met a man like Luo Kaixian who suited her heart.
"So, I said Siniang, you are very lucky." Defining a conclusion, Analia continued: "The man I married looked handsome, but he was a ...... According to the words of you Orientals, it is a false appearance, although you are also made a general, but you are arrogant, and you don't even have the ability to save your life......"
"He died on the battlefield?" Li Ji raised her head and asked suspiciously.
"Dead on the battlefield?" Analia pursed her lips disdainfully, "No matter what, he is also a side of the Constantine family, there are always people around him who can save his life, he became a deserter on the battlefield!" ”
"Deserters? The general as a deserter? Oh, my God...... There is such a man! Li Ji sighed involuntarily.
"Ridiculous, right? is such a man, after escaping from the battlefield, he saved his life, but did not save his soul, he lost his honor and faith, he soaked in taverns and women's stores all day, and occasionally returned home to treat his family with irritability......" Recalling the past, Analia had a lot of words that she couldn't suppress.
After listening for a long time, when Analia had a little rest, Li Ji asked softly, "Teacher, didn't you admonish and encourage him?" ”
"Useless ......" negated, Analia tried the corner of her eye, "Siniang, this is a world dominated by men, I don't know what the Eastern Song Kingdom or the Liao Kingdom is like, but in Rome, or Byzantium, for more than a thousand years, women are just ornaments, prey, and even pets that reproduce bloodlines, but it is difficult to become a person who talks on an equal footing, even if it is a husband and wife who have been together for several years......"
"The third brother won't be like that......" Whether Annalia's words were correct or not, Li Ji didn't know, her voice trembled a little, and she was frightened.
"yes, your Bartol isn't like that...... But the man I was from, you know? Look at this thin scar at the corner of my eye......" Analia pointed to the faint mark that stretched to the hairline in the corner of her right eye, "this is how I was beaten by that man, and at the same time, I lost my only child. ”
"I'm sorry, teacher, I shouldn't have asked...... However, the third brother will never be the kind of person you say. Li Ji was frightened by the teacher's words, she turned her body sideways, hugged Annalia beside her, buried her face in the latter's body and said with some trembling.
Annalia regained her senses and raised her hand to hug this different student, "Siniang, I'm sorry to scare you, I'm telling you this just to remind you that your Bartol is a different kind of man, although his wooden face is annoying, but he doesn't lack gentleness, doesn't he?" And he is a man who can hold up a piece of the sky, and such a man is destined to attract the eyes of many women...... You have to be like what your aunt said, don't let go, otherwise there will be a lot of people to rob it! ”
"How so? He is as tall as a camel, and he often reprimands people with a cold face...... "Hearing others praise the man he likes, Li Ji raised his head and responded with some shyness.
"You don't have a mouthful!" Tapping the tip of Li Jiao's nose with her hand, Annalia said with a teasing face: "A man like Bartoll is by no means the kind of man who sells his tongue, he has the strength to protect his family, even his own race, and he has a compassionate heart in the face of weakness and even enemies......"
"Compassion? He ......, "The first time I heard someone else evaluate the man I like in such detail, Li Ji was inevitably a little crazy."
"I didn't see it with my own eyes before you took Bartol back to Sylvan, so I don't know, but after that, he made too many rules, and many of them looked unkind, but no one can deny that it was those rules that protected everyone's lives, oh, the most typical example, Siniang, isn't this group of wild children you and I manage together is proof of this?" As a descendant of Alexander the Great, Annalia has experienced some exposure to the ears and eyes, and has also been the wife of a Byzantine general, and her vision is not inferior to that of many men in power.
"But he still led people to kill so many people...... "It's not stubborn, it's just a little reserved, coupled with the instinctive aversion to blood killing, Li Ji replied like this, of course, this does not affect her love for Luo Kaixian, a man.
"You!" Poked Li Jiao's head with her finger, Analia said with some annoyance: "Why do you have so many thoughts? If the general does not kill the enemy, is he waiting for the enemy to kill? How could the people in the old camp of the Tang Dynasty call you the Fire Lady? So much sentimentality, like ...... The Zhang family always says that everyone is beautiful! ”
"Hmph, I'm not a big girl!" After being nagged a few words, Li Ji's mood improved a lot, and she continued to mumble in her heart.
Whether Li Ji is worthy of the title of Fire Lady or not, Analia actually knows better than anyone else, compared to Cheng Shouru's wife Gui Niangzi, Li Ji is at most quick tempered, plus she has been influenced by herself for more than ten years, and she is a little different.
It's just that an impatient temper like Li Ji, with a cold-faced man like Bartol, it doesn't hurt that the time is short, but after a long time after marriage, will it still be the same as before? Annalia couldn't help but worry.
