Chapter One Hundred and One: Strange Man?

When Peng Yue was thinking about why Xueqi Jiaowa made this request, Xueqi on the side was full of unnaturalness, only to see her frowning, looking angry and angry, looking at Peng Yue still with such an "embarrassed" expression, her pair of soft wattles that were originally holding the teacup also tightened unconsciously, and after a while, she slowly raised her head and said, "Adults are so prevaricating, do you think it's unnecessary, or... Disgusted with our money... Not clean? ”

"Huh?" , Peng Yue heard this, but he raised his head suddenly, and was bumping into Xue Qi's resolute but slightly injured eyes, Xue Qi's red lips twitched slightly, and her eyes seemed to want to escape, but she immediately met her upright, forcing Peng Yue's momentum back a little, "Girl... Where is the word... How do I... There will be disgust, the girl is really misunderstood..."

"Really?" Xue Qi's eyes were still sharp, but she also realized that her emotions were a little "excessive", after all, Peng Yue was still a high-ranking official in the imperial court, even if he was a good temper, it was inappropriate for him to do this after all, so she breathed a sigh of relief, put on a relaxed and normal demeanor, and said a little abruptly, "The adult hesitated, the concubine was concerned, but it was really... I want to help those girls, if it's really inconvenient for adults, then forget it..."

"No... There's no inconvenience..."Peng Yue saw the change in Xue Qi's expression, and he could guess her true thoughts in his heart, Fang Xingde was indeed suspicious. He asked himself www.biquge.info he didn't have too much contempt for these two Qinglou women, but their previous involvement with Yan Shifan was indeed a piece of his own heart, but looking at his own doubts made these two women feel hurt, yes, Jiaowa listened to Xueqi's words on the side, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, and just now he looked at his eyes with a foolish smile and looked away. So Peng Yue coughed lightly twice, put on a solemn and serious look, and said in a solemn voice, "Since the two girls have such intentions, I am disrespectful, and I thank you for those children in the school." ”

"Huh?" Xue Qi was stunned at first, and then looked at Peng Yue with some surprise, "My lord... What does it mean to be an adult... Did you agree to the concubine's request? ”

"Of course..."Peng Yue smiled slightly, but with a relaxed and calm expression, "The girl's intention to fund the school is a good thing, if Peng deliberately obstructs it, he will become a villain." ”

"The adults still said it, Fang just still looked unwilling, why did he change his words so quickly, don't you dislike us now?" Seeing that Peng Yue happily and firmly agreed, Jiaowa was also happy in her heart, so she made a joke about Peng Yue at the right time.

"My sister is rude..."Xue Qi glanced at Jiao Wa busily, and was speechless for her behavior of "forgetting the pain after the scar is good".

"It's okay, I'm used to the look of the girl..."Peng Yue smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea, changed to a serious expression, and said softly, "Actually, I didn't mean to dislike the two girls, and the two girls don't have to be presumptuous... To tell you the truth, I have never thought that your money is not clean, but many officials in the officialdom, although they are upright and gentlemanly on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are corrupt and bribe-taking, preying on the common people, and their methods are almost harsh, and their money is the most unclean. It seems to me that you are a thousand times stronger than them! ”

When Peng Yue said this, it was not a compliment, but from the heart. To be honest, his pity and sympathy for the ancient Qinglou woman is much more than that of the modern **. Because in ancient times, women had no status, and the strict social hierarchy could pronounce the results of a woman's life because of her birth. For most women, they can only marry a village husband such as a farmer, and then become a village woman who does her duty for the rest of their lives. A woman who is a little beautiful and very lucky may be a concubine or a maidservant for a rich merchant or an official's family, but only that, there is no other way out.

The imperial examination system provides a path for poor men, but there is no system that gives poor women a chance, this society is for men, there is no stage for women to show, to put it bluntly, in this era, women can only rely on men. But there are always some poor women who are unwilling to do this, they think that they are not inferior to those rich girls in terms of appearance and talent, but helplessly, a background makes them have no chance to turn over. Many people fall into this way, not only because of the love of money, not just because of laziness, but because this society does not give them a chance to compete fairly.

Originally, when it came to this topic, Peng Yue was a little indignant, and wanted to scold a few more words, but thinking about it, it was better to be cautious in words and deeds here, maybe this word would reach Yan Shifan's ears in a few days, making him think that he was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai here, which would not be good. So his expression also relaxed, and he added, "I just felt it, and I didn't mean anything, and I hope the two girls won't be surprised..."

Peng Yue said that he would not let them be surprised, but they could not help but be surprised, because this was the first time that their guests had exalted themselves in such a way, and he himself was a towering figure.

In fact, Xueqi Jiaowa was overly emotional, and it was also the inferiority complex in her heart that was causing trouble. In this society, they also suffer from all kinds of prejudices. Even due to the prevalence of Cheng Zhu's science, their lives will be even more difficult, even for some Qing people who do not sell their art. Xueqi and Jiaowa know their identities, although they are now the top names in Lishui Courtyard, but among the celebrities they have come into contact with on weekdays, how many of them can really look down on themselves? It's just a plaything. Even some so-called "good family girls" who are not of high background and live an ordinary life have contempt and disdain for them. Subtly, Xueqi and Jiaowa unconsciously accepted this view, and they looked down on themselves for no reason.

But now Peng Yue has made such a "deafening" opinion, which really shocked Xueqi and Jiaowa. Peng Yue's words made Xue Qi and Jiaowa unspeakably moved, and even had a warm heart, they felt that Peng Yue had a different feeling, he was really treating himself as a person...

"What's the matter, is there anything wrong with what I just said?" Peng Yue saw that Xueqi and Jiaowa looked at him at this time, the eyes were a little weird and complicated... The eyes were still a little shining, "What's wrong with the two girls?" ”

"Not much..."Xue Qi's nose fluttered, and she smiled sincerely, the beauty was emotional, and it was gorgeous in an instant, like a beautiful bud unfolding in the soft sunlight, and Peng Yue on the side couldn't help but move, "My lord is noble, and the concubine... I was moved and frightened..."

"Hehe... What is there to be afraid of..."Peng Yuefang's heart throbbed when he saw Xue Qi's beautiful expression at that moment, so his expression was also a little unnatural, and he hurriedly grabbed the teacup and took a sip of tea to cover it up, "I thought I had said something wrong just now." ”

"That's right, the adult Fang just said the wrong thing..."Jiaowa pursed her lips, and the faint tears in her eyes were also blinked by her, and she endured it, "Just now I told my sister that I wanted to fund the school, but what the adults said was disrespectful, my sister and I wanted to help those babies, how could the adults say that they were disrespectful?" ”

"You... Hehe..."Peng Yue smiled and shook his head, "The girl has a good memory, I said the wrong thing..."

Xue Qi saw Jiaowa teasing like this, and Peng Yue didn't have a trace of annoyance, so she also laughed and said nothing.

"My lord, in fact, what the concubine wanted to say just now was..."At this time, Jiaowa looked at Peng Yue, and stopped talking, without the silky appearance of her usual eyes, and even had some affection in her eyes, "The concubine wants to say... What the Lord just said about our sisters... Is it true? ”

"Huh? Oh..."Peng Yue was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Jiaowa was referring to, in fact, Peng Yue also expected that his words must have touched the two of them, since this is the case, then you might as well talk to them and give them a "reassuring pill", if you can really win these two beauties from Yan Shifan to be "spies" for yourself, it would be great.

"Of course, what I just said is true, don't the two girls still believe it? In my opinion, the key to whether a person is worthy of respect or not is to look at his heart, not his identity. The two girls can have a talented request, which is naturally admirable to Peng..."Peng Yue smacked his lips, looking at these two little beauties who were surprised by what he said but inconvenient to reveal, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, "Let's just say that Liang Hongyu, a prostitute in the Jingkou camp of the Song Dynasty, is proficient in Han Mo, can hold a strong bow, serve the country, and is much stronger than a man, do you say that you can not respect her because of her previous identity?" ”

Xueqi and Jiaowa listened to Peng Yue's words on the side, and they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts, but more joy and touching, especially the sentence "Whether a person is worthy of respect or not, the key is to look at his heart, not his identity", it really spoke to their hearts, although the two were particularly unconfident in this, but it was like grasping a life-saving straw, so that they also had a reliance and comfort in their hearts. Of course, Xue Qi, who is quite knowledgeable, still has to be polite, "Liang Hongyu is a rare strange woman in a hundred years, how can our sisters compare with her?" ”

"Liang Hongyu is indeed rare in a hundred years, this kind of thing also needs opportunities, but as a woman, it doesn't have to be a meritorious career, and being affectionate and righteous is also worthy of respect..." There is also Gao Wa of my dynasty, who has been a loyal minister Yang Jun for many years, after Yang Jun's unjust death, no one dares to care, but Gao Wa accepted his corpse, performed the gift of husband and wife, and then committed suicide by hanging the beam, he must be regarded as a good woman who thinks that she is affectionate and righteous, such a person is naturally worthy of my Peng's admiration. ”

"I didn't expect adults to think like this in their hearts, they really deserve to be a... Strange man..."Xue Qi said with affection in her eyes and a little choked.

"Hehe... What kind of strange man am I..."Although Peng Yue was very useful in his heart, he still smiled and waved his hand, "Don't say that I am pulling a bow to kill the enemy, I have served the country, I even struggled to ride a horse at the beginning, haha..."

"That adult is also a strange man..."After Jiaowa said this, this Xueqi and Peng Yue both looked at her, and couldn't help blushing, but they still looked sideways, and said in a loud voice, "In short, the adult is a strange man in my eyes, unlike some sour and rotten literati, who are quite famous, but I just look down on him!" ”

"Yo, who is she scolding when she is so angry?" Peng Yue asked with a smile.

"It's too much!" Jiaowa's eyes widened, her eyes were disdainful, and she was slightly angry, "For example, the Yuan Zhen, who is famous all over the world in poetry and writing, first showed mercy to many Qinglou sisters, and had a private lifelong agreement with others, but he always gave up in chaos." In the end, he abandoned Cui Yingying for the marriage of a wealthy family, even if he later fell in love with the famous prostitute Xue Tao, he still did not want to marry her for the sake of future interests. No matter how good the poetry is, the concubine looks down on him. ”

"The girl criticized it very much, and I thought so too, haha..." Peng Yue didn't expect Jiaowa to say such things in front of him, Xu was inspired and encouraged by his words, so that Jiaowa had the courage to say what she thought but didn't dare to say.

"Actually, if you want to say that those sisters are really, they can write a good poem and pay each other with their hearts, but I don't know that those men have no conscience, and they are not as smart as me, and if you want to find a man like an adult, you have to find a man who is affectionate and righteous..."

Of course, what was even more surprising was Peng Yue, he knew that Jiaowa had always been bold, but he didn't expect her to say such a thing, he almost choked on a date in his throat when he heard it, but he never dared to raise his head. Of course, he didn't need to look up, Jiaowa also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she was a little embarrassed not to look at him. In fact, it is common to say some provocative and frivolous things to guests, and guests are so happy, but Peng Yue in front of him is an "honest man", so Jiaowa is not good at treating him as an ordinary guest. And Jiao Wa is indeed the heart of the scene, and at this time she is naturally empty-hearted.

"Hmm... Ahem... Actually, Yuan Zhen is okay, I think the most hateful thing is still that Zhu Xi..."Peng Yue was embarrassed, and changed the topic, "Isn't it that Zhu Xi who made it to realize this set of constraints?" shouting every day "save the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires", but he does something shameless, not to mention that in order to deal with political enemies, he tortured a woman and almost killed her, just say that he committed incest behind his back, which is really a resounding slap in the face to himself! ”

"Oops..."Peng Yue was saying, Jiaowa suddenly exclaimed, causing Peng Yue and Xueqi to look at her sideways, "What's wrong?" ”
