Chapter 45: The Qiao Family's Shuangshu
The Shuangshu in it is the famous Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao during the Three Kingdoms period. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Yong is familiar with this history, next year, that is, the fourth year of Jian'an (199). Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will capture Anhui County and marry Er Qiao. A pair of sisters, married to two heroes in the world at the same time, one is the "Sun Lang" who is eloquent and powerful in Jiangdong, and the other is the "Zhou Lang" who is suave and suave, both civil and military. However, only more than a year later, Sun Ce was stabbed to death, and Da Qiao was widowed in less than twenty years, how miserable! Xiao Qiao's situation is slightly better than that of her sister, but she has only been married to Zhou Yu for 12 years, and Zhou Yu died young, what a beautiful life.
Liu Yong was still pondering, and Qiao Gong said: "Little old man Qiao Xuan, thank you for saving my whole family, please accept Qiao's worship." ”
Liu Yong hurriedly helped Qiao Xuan up and replied, "Under Liu Yong, I don't dare to accept such a big gift from Qiao Gong." ”
"The life of the little old man is still second, Liu Gongzi protects the innocence of the little girl, Qiao is grateful, and asks Liu Gongzi and his party to go to the village for a few days, and the old man will thank him in person."
Gong Qiao was polite. Hoeing evil and promoting good, it is the duty of a man, and it is just a gesture, not enough to worry about it, how can it disturb Qiao Gong because of this. ”
Liu Gongzi was polite. The son has the grace of life for the Qiao family, if the son refuses to appreciate his face, the little old man is terrified in his heart and has trouble sleeping. ”
Seeing that it was difficult to resist the hospitality, Liu Yong arched his hand and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then you will disturb Qiao Gong." ”
"Childe saved my family from danger and protected the innocence of my little girl, the little old man should have let them come out to see Childe. It's just that there is some inconvenience here, please allow you to return to the village to see the gift again. Qiao Xuan apologized.
Indeed, there are too many strange men here, and it is very inconvenient. Liu Yong replied: "Gong Qiao is polite, as it should be." After speaking, he bowed deeply, took a few steps back, and turned around to join the team.
Qiao Xuan saw that Liu Yongli had been thoughtful for a few years, and in order to make himself feel at ease and stand far away with his subordinates, he was even happier in his heart, so he asked the servant to lead the carriage next to him outside the house, and called his daughter out.
Liu Yong and the others saw two girls from a distance, one was slightly taller, wearing a yellow dress, and the other was slightly shorter, wearing a green shirt, both wearing a wide-brimmed hat on their heads, and a light veil hanging from the brim.
The girl in the yellow shirt whispered a few words in Qiao Xuan's ear, and Qiao Xuan gently stroked her beard and nodded frequently. After a while, Qiao Xuan walked up to Liu Yong, pointed at Dong Yun and said, "Young Master Liu, the little girl wants to invite this girl to the car for a get-together, I wonder if the girl is willing?" ”
Liu Yong has always been worried that Dong Yun will be depressed mixed with his group of men, of course he is very willing, so he said: "Yun'er, don't you want to know more sisters?" Don't go yet. ”
Dong Yun's youngest daughter also wanted to see how beautiful these two Qiao was, and she couldn't ask for it, so she happily followed Qiao Xuan into Er Qiao's car.
The three of them are of the same age, Da Qiao is seventeen years old, Dong Yun is sixteen years old, and Xiao Qiao is fifteen years old.
"Sister Yun'er, why are you pretending to be robbers, why don't you pretend to be officers and soldiers? What a majesty and courage! If the thieves had heard that so many officers and soldiers were coming, they would have been scared away long ago, so that our family would not have been so frightened. Xiao Qiao was very puzzled by what Liu Yong had just done, and Da Qiao also had this doubt, these two sisters were not deeply involved in the world, they were innocent, and they didn't know anything about these tricks in the world.
"We can't pretend to be officers and soldiers, we must pretend to be bandits. There is something special about this......" Dong Yun said proudly: "My eldest brother said that if we directly raise the banner to save you, those thieves will most likely take your whole family hostage when they see the disparity in power, and it will be even more difficult to do." And we also pretend to be thieves, so that they will not be suspicious. ”
"What do you mean by black eating black?" Little Joe didn't understand.
"Black eats black means that both sides are robbers and bullies, and neither is a good thing, see which side is stronger and eats the other." Dong Yun explained.
"Hehe, that's an interesting word." Da Qiao smiled, "Your eldest brother is really smart enough to come up with this good idea." ”
"That's it!" Dong Yun listened to Da Qiao's praise of his feelings, and he was even more proud in his heart.
Da Qiao smiled: "Yun'er, the eldest brother you are talking about is that Liu Gongzi, right?" ”
"yes!"
"Sister Yun, Liu Gongzi is your lover, right?" Little Joe teased.
Dong Yun's face suddenly flushed, "Sister Qian'er, what are you talking about?" No. ”
"My face is red like this." Xiao Qiao teased, "I saw that your eyes didn't leave your brother Liu for a moment, and I said no." ”
"Who hasn't left for a moment. Don't talk nonsense! Dong Yun's face turned even redder.
"Qian'er, don't make fun of Sister Yun." Da Qiao saw that Dong Yun's face was tender, and hurriedly came out to relieve the siege.
"Hmph, if you like it, you like it, and it's not something unsightly." Xiao Qiao muttered, "It's a pity that although Liu Gongzi is wise, he is not tall, his physique is not strong, and his appearance is ......."
"Qian'er!" Da Qiao said angrily, "If it weren't for Liu Gongzi's trick to rescue him just now, you and my sister would have been robbed by thieves long ago, whether a person is good or not depends on whether he is really capable, what is the use of good looks?" Look at that Song Yu, suave and talented, but unfortunately he is good at drilling, groveling, and has a good skin. ”
"Sister, no matter how bad my sister is, she won't make fun of Sister Yun'er's eldest brother. People just think that the husband who is worthy of Yun'er's sister needs to be a talented and good-looking character, so he is a good match. Xiao Qiao was a little aggrieved.
"That's my sister's fault for Qian'er, my sister can't help it." Da Qiao let out a long breath and apologized again and again, "Qian'er." A man with talent and backbone is what we women should value, followed by appearance, right, Yun'er? ”
"Sister Ying, you said that men need to be talented and backbone first, and the little sister is in favor. However......" Dong Yun hesitated for a moment, Fang said, "I think that the second most important thing is not appearance. ”
"What's that?" Big Qiao and Second Qiao felt strange.
Dong Yun twisted for a while and said, "I think we should be considerate of our women and take care of them with our hearts." When Dong Yun said this, her face seemed to be on fire.
Xiao Qiao waved his hand and said, "Sister Yun'er is not right. Liezi? Tianrui said that since ancient times, there has been a difference between men and women, and men are inferior to women. "Women's Commandments" also says that the husband is the wife, and we women must talk about the way of three obedience and the etiquette of four virtues. The husband is the sky, the wife is the earth, everything is subject to the husband, what he says, we must obey, this is the way for the wife. ”
Dong Yun's face flushed, and she replied embarrassedly: "I haven't had a father or mother since I was a child, and I haven't read a book, but I don't know." We haven't heard of this in a small place in the countryside, unlike a big family like Sister Qian'er, who is so particular. ”
Da Qiao sighed and said, "My sister is so envious of Yun'er. The countryside has the luck of the countryside, and the big families have the troubles of the big families. ”
"Sister Ying'er, tell me how you got married, okay?" Dong Yun asked curiously.
Da Qiao talked about the etiquette of "the right person", "the order of the parents", "the words of the matchmaker" and so on, and finally said: "We women should follow the etiquette, whether the husband is old or young, handsome or ugly, we must be obedient and virtuous, husband and child, from the beginning." ”
Dong Yun lowered her head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "That's not right! Brother Liu said that this was not right. ”
"What's wrong?" Big Joe is even more strange.
"The eldest brother said that men and women in this world should be equal, men can choose the woman they love, and women can also choose the man they like, and only when they are happy can they become husband and wife. The eldest brother said that he can't control what others do, but in his eyes, there will definitely be equality between men and women. ”
"Ahh Da Qiao was taken aback, "How come I have never heard anyone say this, we don't even dare to think about these words." What kind of person is your brother Liu? ”
"Brother Liu is not from us, he is from the Western Regions?" Dong Yun explained.
"I read in the book that the people in the Western Regions are all high-nosed, blue-eyed, and we can't understand what they say. But your brother Liu looks no different from us, and what he says is the same. Little Joe was also curious.
"Brother Liu said that their ancestors were the descendants of the soldiers who stayed in the local area during the western expedition against the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu. So it's no different from the people we have here. ”
Da Qiao was a little relieved, and he was even more curious about Liu Yong, so he asked, "No wonder his ideas are different." Yun'er, can you tell us about your big brother Liu? ”
"What does my sister want to hear?" Dong Yun heard others praise her lover, and she felt a burst of pride in her heart.
"Say whatever you think is good." Big Joe replied, "Tell me how you two met?" Little Joe wanted to know, too.
"Okay. There are many stories about him...... "Dong Yun told in detail how to meet Liu Yong, how to cure the disease in the future, destroy Yan Baihu, suppress Du Chong, Tuntian Anmin, make porcelain and wine, etc.
Er Qiao was even more impressed when he heard these stories of Liu Yong, and couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at Liu Yong from the gap, only to see that this person was not amazing, but he didn't expect that there were so many abilities in his belly, and he was really unseemly.
"I can't imagine that Liu Gongzi can cook so many delicacies with a single man." Xiao Qiao is a little girl in the end, and when she heard Dong Yun talk about Liu Yong's ability to cook so many unheard of delicacies, she couldn't help but sigh.
Da Qiao thought differently in his heart, this Liu Yong can still prepare food carefully for Dong Yun in the mountains and wilderness, can leave everything on his body to others without reservation, and can think about others at any time...... Isn't that what women want the most? What's more, he has so much ability.
Da Qiao Shen was happy that Dong Yun could meet someone like Liu Yong, and said with a smile: "Sister, congratulations Yun'er, when will you get married?" ”
"I haven't mentioned it yet." Dong Yun was even more ashamed, but she no longer denied it.
"Oh. Could it be that Liu Gongzi belongs to something else? ”
"Not really. My eldest brother thinks I'm too young. ”
"Too small? Isn't Yun'er already sixteen? "In ancient times, when a woman was fifteen years old, she could be married.
"yes. But the eldest brother said that the girls there were only eighteen years old before they could ...... in order to get married. ”
"Is it their custom again? It's really peculiar. "Da Qiao doesn't understand it again, the average life expectancy at that time was not long, and it was more common to die in their thirties, wouldn't it be too big to get married at the age of eighteen?
"Sister Yun'er, I'm afraid I can't wait, I'm not ashamed!" Little Joe teased.
Dong Yun was ashamed for a while, and stretched out her hand to twist Xiao Qiao's face, "I'm making fun of my sister again." I will not spare you. ”
Xiao Qiao hurriedly hid behind Da Qiao, begging for mercy, and said, "My sister spared me, I don't dare anymore." ”
Da Qiao quietly watched Xiao Qiao and Dong Yun play and fight, smiling, she was even more curious about Liu Yong, if only she could listen to this person's heart in person.
