"Speaking of men's appearance," Mu Hongshang replied after thinking about it: "In fact, you can also see obvious good-looking and bad-looking, such as King Yi and King Xin, who are much better looking than ordinary people." It's just that no one judges men's looks like they judge women. ”

"That's why it's unequal." Xie Shurou replied: "Women are not objects, why should they be carefully criticized from head to toe. This kind of atmosphere actually restricts women, so that women unconsciously begin to examine themselves harshly, and they will also evaluate other women harshly, to be good-looking, to be virtuous, to be sensible and obedient in their parents' family, and to respect their in-laws when they get married, and to work hard to have children, as if they can't do it, they are sorry for anyone. ”

"Sister Xie," Mu Hongshang couldn't help but smile and said, "You started talking about these strange things again, I'm going to tell my sister-in-law when I go home." ”

"I see that your sister-in-law used to be the most poisoned one." Xie Shurou pursed her lips and replied, "The lady in charge of the Gu University Scholar's Mansion is very strong at first glance. ”

"Sister-in-law's grandparents are very respectful," Mu Hongsheng nodded: "I have heard her talk many times. So when she first married into our family, she was actually not used to many things. Sometimes the elders didn't ask her for anything, but she didn't feel comfortable herself. ”

"That's why I said," Xie Shurou commented: "Gu Yilan's luckiest thing in her life is to marry into the Anguo Mansion. In these years, where can I find such a good family as your Mu family? ”

"Okay?" Mu Hongsheng smiled slightly: "But I feel a little ashamed of my sister-in-law." The eldest brother went to the north less than a month after he got married, and he hasn't come back yet. My sister-in-law has been married for nearly a year, and most of the time she is lonely. ”

Xie Shurou was silent for a moment, and then said, "This is indeed not easy for a woman like Gu Yilan. But ......"

"But what?" Mu Hongshang raised her eyes and looked at Xie Shurou with a question mark on her face.

"It's too inauthentic to say this, and it also seems that I don't have a heart," Xie Shurou frowned, with a tangled look: "But I really want to tell you!" I'd love to let you know what I think. ”

"Then you just say," Mu Hongsheng was even more confused: "Is there anything I can't say in front of me?" ”

"Actually......" Xie Shurou sneakily glanced to the side a few times, making sure that the maids were standing far away and would not hear her speak, before she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I envy Gu Yilan!" ”

"Do you envy my sister-in-law for marrying into my family?" Mu Hongshang said with a smile: "What is there to be embarrassed to say, it would be good if you were envious and married in." ”

"It's not!" Xie Shurou covered her eyes with her hands, with a broken can and broken posture: "I'll say it directly!" I envy your sister-in-law's husband who is not at home, and you can live a beautiful single life if you get married. "New

"Huh?" Mu Hongshang tilted her head and looked at Xie Shurou with her mouth open, not knowing what to say at all. She felt that she couldn't keep up with Xie Shurou's brain circuits again.

"I don't mean to expect your eldest brother to come back!" Xie Shurou hurriedly explained: "I'm just ...... It's awkward to think about getting married. I am two years older than you, and I will turn seventeen this year, and I am afraid that before I turn eighteen, my family will make a family appointment for me. I'm really ...... Alas! I don't know if you can understand, but I really don't have any expectations for married life in this era. So I really think your sister-in-law is having a good time now. Of course, I'm not saying I'm gloating that she's not with my husband, I'm just saying I'm ...... Gu Yilan is different from me...... I ......"

The more Xie Shurou explained, the more confused she became, and in the end, she didn't even know what she said. She simply threw herself on the table, sighed and said, "Alas! Never mind! You're going to be crazy again! ”

Unexpectedly, after Mu Hongshang heard Xie Shurou's unreliable words, she didn't giggle as usual, but looked at Xie Shurou intently, and only said softly after a long time: "Maybe it won't be so early." It's not without girls who are engaged at the age of eighteen. My little aunt was engaged at the age of eighteen, and she didn't get married until she was nearly nineteen. ”

With just this sentence, Xie Shurou understood that Mu Hongshang really understood her words completely, not only did she understand, but this little girl was still trying to understand her in her own way and trying to comfort her.

Xie Shurou's eyes suddenly became a little damp, she grabbed Mu Hongsheng's hand, and hurriedly lowered her head as if concealing: "Really!" I'm supposed to comfort you. ”

"Sister Xie, so far, still doesn't you like King Yi in any way?" Mu Hongshang looked at Xie Shurou with a serious expression.

"I don't like it." Xie Shurou's voice trembled slightly: "I told my mother and grandmother, but they all thought I was hypocritical. also said that the girls in the capital were envious of King Yi's kindness to me. But I ...... If he's good to me, do I have to like him? Am I sorry for him if I don't like him? I even expressed my refusal directly to King Yi behind my grandmother's back, but he ...... They all think I'm throwing a temper, and my opinion doesn't matter. ”

"Didn't Sister Xie say before that your grandfather actually had an agreement with King Xin in private?" Mu Hongsheng asked again: "Why is it that for more than two years, Lord Xie Xiang still let King Yi chase after you." ”

"Huh...... Conventions. Xie Shurou couldn't help but sneer: "I can see through, my grandfather will always leave himself the safest way back." At the moment, King Yi and King Xin are evenly matched in the court, and he doesn't really want to make a decision lightly. ”

In fact, last year, he had already decided to explicitly reject King Yi, but after Lin Xiang returned to his hometown, he suddenly changed his mind. He wanted to see who could come up with heavier chips. ”

"Xie Xiang is like this, and King Yi didn't even urge?" Mu Hongsheng frowned: "King Yi and King Xin are both extremely shrewd characters, how could they not guess what Xie Xiang thinks." ”

"You can guess, but that's understandable, so what?" Xie Shurou replied: "But if they want to win my grandfather's support, they have to come up with decent chips, that's the rule." In fact, my grandfather could have been observing for a while longer, but the princes had just entered the court, so he could have observed for two more years before making a decision. ”

"It's a pity that they all want to use my marriage as a guarantee of cooperation. And I'm ...... It's not a fairy, it's always getting older, and if you drag it out, you can't drag it out, right? This doomed my grandfather to not be able to sit on the sidelines for a long time, as early as this year, or later next year, he will definitely enter the game. After all, I'm going to turn seventeen this year, so it's time to come...... It's coming. ”
