When Xi Hongdou went to the shop again in the afternoon, Su Huiwan came to the door, and the two of them didn't mention anything before, and the person Su Huiwan could talk to was Xi Hongdou.

"How can you have such a face? If you don't know, you think you've lost money! Xi Hongdou saw Su Huiwan's face full of entanglement, so he quipped: "Didn't your mother force you to marry the son of the Chu family, why are you still so unhappy?" ”

Su Huiwan sighed and said, "You didn't force me to marry into the Chu family, but now you want me to enter the palace." ”

Xi Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Enter the palace?" Could it be that you also want to be the prince Liangdi? "There is also a Shao Yulin in his backyard who is also waiting to enter the East Palace.

"Also?" Su Huiwan asked, "Is there anyone else going?" ”

Xi Hongdou hurriedly explained: "I want to go to this Kyoto City a lot, but what do you think, looking at your expression, I guess I don't want to go!" The topic came back.

Su Huiwan nodded: "I heard that life in the palace is not good, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, but ...... Now I don't know who to marry, I feel that marrying anyone is like the sea...... "She is now completely confused, she has a fear of marriage, and sometimes she thinks that it is okay to live like this alone, but her mother directly scolded her for being sick, and the woman who doesn't want to marry is very sick, and she can only listen to the family's arrangement, what is the love."

Xi Hongdou saw that Su Huiwan was entangled like this, and said, "Have you ever seen the prince?" ”

Su Huiwan remembered that she had seen it from afar when she attended the palace banquet before, but it was too far away, and she couldn't stare at other men, she could only see the outline clearly, her head was tall, and her appearance was very vague.

"I've seen it, but I haven't seen it clearly." Su Huiwan said: "But I estimate that the prince's appearance should be no different, but there will be thousands of beauties in the harem in the future, and I don't want to compete for favor." Her feelings for Xiao Zhi made her grow a little, but now she is still facing people she doesn't like, and she always feels awkward to be a concubine. And the prince doesn't necessarily like her, as long as he thinks that he may enter the palace, he feels uncomfortable in his heart.

Xi Hongdou comforted: "If you really don't want to enter the palace, make a decision as soon as possible, marriage can't be a child's play, let alone get by." ”、

Su Huiwan sighed and said, "I know." Then she looked at Xi Hongdou with an envious expression, Xi Hongdou got everything she wanted, she was jealous and hateful earlier, and now she can only envy.

"Hello, you can do whatever you want." Su Huiwan said.

Xi Hongdou smiled: "It's all fought for, it's my greatest luck to be able to dispose of myself freely." "It's not everywhere in the world, but she's trying to avoid things she doesn't want to go through.

Su Huiwan knows that although Xi Hongdou can be so free, although it has something to do with Xi Hongdou's low background, but it is more that Xi Hongdou has her own ability, if she also has her own various assets today, if she can still live like Xi Hongdou without the protection of her father, she will be able to be her own master.

"Sometimes I think God is really unfair, but sometimes I think it's fair, if only I could be like you, marry someone you like, and do what you like, and be free." Su Huiwan sighed.

Xi Hongdou smiled and asked, "Do you think that I can do this step today because of men?" ”

Su Huiwan was a little embarrassed, although it didn't sound good to say, but she did think about it this way.

"Just look at your expression, in fact, I don't deny it, if I don't have the good fortune to get a good husband, I don't know how difficult it will be for me to gain a foothold in Kyoto City." Xi Hongdou said that she also knew these things in her heart.

Su Huiwan felt that talking to Xi Hongdou was more straightforward, so she said, "It's a little bit." ”

"Then have you ever thought about why Xiao Zhi has such good conditions to find a village girl like me?" When Xi Hongdou asked, Su Huiwan still shook her head and said, "Is it because I don't understand that I lost, if I did, I wouldn't have lost so badly before." ”

Xi Hongdou laughed, Su Huiwan was embarrassed to brag about her straightforwardness, but she still said: "That's because my sister is worth it, in the final analysis, life is also people get together, people have ideas, what they like, what they don't like, and now there are those who get married blindfolded, and only they know in their hearts whether they are in love for a long time, but if it is really not suitable, the man will take a concubine if it is a big deal, and the woman will hide by herself, or she will pinch the concubine with her own concubine, Either you can't see it directly and don't bother it, but what you feel in your heart can't be experienced by others. ”

Su Huiwan listened to Xi Hongdou quietly and felt that there was some truth.

"Xiao Zhi is a cheerful person, she thinks that all my deliberate or unintentional actions attract him, so she chooses to marry me." Xi Hongdou said.

Su Huiwan was puzzled, so she asked: "I heard that his life is not good, and he met you with a hard life, so I ...... it."

"But he never believed it, he proposed to my family without telling his family, and he believed that our marriage could be successful, and he made a lot of efforts." Xi Hongdou said: "So being able to marry him is not only because of his good family background, but most importantly, he has done a lot and put a lot of effort into being with me, even if our identities are not equal, even if his family is against it, but for me, he has shown courage." Pan Gaozhi is easy to say, difficult to say, she also knew her situation at the beginning, but for Xiao Zhi, she was also willing to be looked down upon, she didn't care about stepping on that nail board, let alone everyone's slander and belittlement of her.

Su Huiwan looked at Xi Hongdou and said, "I've already lost, do you have to drag me out and whip me again?" ”

Xi Hongdou said: "I mean, everything is chosen by myself, I can do whatever I can do, although I have gained a lot of advantages by relying on the Xiao family, but this is all an afterthought, I have also paid for being with Xiao Zhi, there is no thing in the world where you can get anything as long as you lie down." What Su Huiwan lacks now is courage and ideas, even if she is not the arrogant Su Huiwan before, she is still a person living in shackles, at this point, she feels that Su Huiwan may not even be able to catch up with Sister-in-law Liu.

Su Huiwan digested the meaning of Xi Hongdou's words, and said: "I know what you mean, but I don't know anything, I don't want you to do business, and I may not even be able to live if I leave my mother's house." ”

"Say like I was born to be in business, prodigy? Aren't they all learned? You look at you, every day you either go shopping and spend money or listen to plays, and I don't see you learn anything when you have time, just you waste your time so much, if you can have the ability, you can see ghosts. "Su Huiwan will be entangled, most likely because she has too much idle time.

Su Huiwan pouted, still unconvinced, so she said: "I also learned, my mother told me to run the house, manage people, and how to capture a man's heart......"

When Xi Hongdou heard this, what did he think Mrs. Su was teaching?

"It's okay to manage people in front of you, but what is it to capture a man's heart? Can I directly understand how to please a man? Isn't that interesting? It's normal for husband and wife to pay this kind of thing, but unilateral please, who are you? Xi Hongdou couldn't be more disgusted by this statement that "women must please men"!

Do men have more noses or more eyes? But in this world, it seems that she is a fool to talk about equality, in the final analysis, it is still the difference in the social division of labor, if women can also earn money outside the home to support their families, then can men also please women in turn? Of course, the result must be denied, the men of this world feel that women are just their vassals in their bones, how can they let their status be lower than men?

Su Huiwan also felt that this statement was indeed very essential, and in her heart, the typical representative of a woman pleasing a man was...... Sister Yao'er......

"That'...... So what do I study? Su Huiwan couldn't understand it, the words her mother said, when she analyzed it here, she felt that what kind of "" her mother said?

Xi Hongdou asked: "Then you have to ask yourself, what do you want to do in the future, you can learn what to do, like me, if you want to do business, you can learn the way of doing business, if you want to be a tailor, you can learn to thread the needle, if you don't have any ideas at all, how can you take the first step?" ”

Su Huiwan felt that her brain would not turn a little after listening to Xi Hongdou's words, so she said, "Don't talk about it yet, I'll go back and think about it first." "As for the marriage, anyway, the prince's draft is still in time, and it can be delayed for a while, otherwise her mother should find another family, look for it, and don't ask her if she likes it or not.

Su Huiwan was leaving, and Xi Hongdou sent it to the door, still saying: "But your father and mother don't want to harm you after all, it's just that they have different ideas, and they don't need to order them all." Xi Hongdou also knows that it is not easy for a woman with three outlines and five constants to resist these, Su Huiwan is different from herself, and teaching Su Huiwan to resist doesn't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing for Su Huiwan, but this is Su Huiwan's own choice.

Su Huiwan left, Xi Hongdou looked at the account book when she had nothing to do, and Sister-in-law Liu came over to send the account book for the past few days, after all, she had just accepted it, and she didn't know if many things were in line with the rules, so she could only hurry up and keep up with the footsteps of others.

Xi Hongdou showed the account book to Lu Zhi, although it was slightly different, but Lu Zhi still nodded: "That's it." ”

Sister-in-law Liu was not in a hurry to go back, so Xi Hongdou left people to talk and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you still used to this Kyoto City?" ”

"It's good, I've heard of Kyoto City before, but now that I'm here, I find that it's really good, and it's ...... There are a lot of women doing business on the street. Sister-in-law Liu said with a smile, the freedom here made her feel like a fish in water, which was unimaginable before.
