Chapter 9: Rivalry
As soon as he turned around the flower hall, he saw his own Lang Jun, and after seeing her, Wu Wenyi deliberately avoided it, but Li Yuyao stepped forward. "Husband, it's Yuyao's bad, I've been bothering my mother for a long time. “
"You still know? Wu Wenyi sneered.
Li Yuyao was not annoyed, and smiled: "Yes, I thought my husband would come back to pick me up." I want to show off to my mother, how my good husband loves me, it seems that I am wishful thinking. Also, my husband is studying very hard, but I am making the posture of a little daughter, which is really inappropriate, so I don't bother, I need to ask my mother for peace. ”
Then he smiled, not seeing any resentment, as if he was just telling a thing, and walked away. Wu Wenyi's heart is naturally very uncomfortable. He turned back to his study, but was a little distracted for a moment.
Li Yuyao saw that her mother gave her a gift to her and the county order, and then listened to a few words of her wife's nagging. Madame said that let her be humble to the young master, because there is such a son in the family, and he has grown up pampered.
So he turned back to the room from his mother's place, and asked by the way, "Where is the young master?" The maid said that the young master went to the study. So she told the maid to prepare the tea, and she carried it herself, so that no one could accompany her, and went straight to the study with the snacks she had just bought from the street.
In fact, Li Yuyao really didn't know what the young master liked, so she picked up the one she liked and sent it, thinking about it. Pushing open the door of the study, I saw Wu Wenyi reading a book in his hand.
But Wu Wenyi didn't look at it at all. When Li Yuyao's footsteps gradually, his heart also moved, after all, this woman was his favorite, although Li Yuyao was very different from the original quiet and well-behaved, the current Li Yuyao seems to be a little stubborn and a little unruly.
Wu Wenyi is very unscrupulous, women, just rely on men to live, should be obedient, should take men as the sky, how can she be self-righteous, thinking about it makes people angry and uneasy.
Li Yuyao didn't care about Wu Wenyi's thoughts, she felt that as long as she did her best, she ignored Wu Wenyi's expression and tone. Continue to
"I want to read books on geography and I want to know about the system of the whole country, and if you have time to tell me about it, if not, can you recommend books to me?" If you have one in your study, I'd like to borrow it now. ”
Then she took the tea and handed it to Wu Wenyi's mouth, and pushed the snack forward by the way. Asking for people naturally has the attitude of asking for people, for a modern person this consciousness is still there, don't we call this emotional intelligence. So she kept looking at her Lang Jun with a commercial smile and didn't dodge. The distance between them is the distance of a fist. In fact, Li Yuyao didn't know, from a distance, they seemed to be the closest partners.
Even Wu Wenyi couldn't say anything, let alone get angry, so he said: "I don't have a book on geography, but Brother Zihou is visiting today, and he has a book on this subject, so I can ask him, and I will teach you another question you ask, but I have to wait until I finish reading my book." Wu Wenyi said lightly.
Li Yuyao saw that her goal had been achieved, so she hurriedly said, "Since Xianggong wants to read, then I'll go back to the house first." Teach me when you have time. ”
"You wait," Wu Wenyi said hurriedly; "You stay here and read, Brother Zihou will be here soon, you also know each other, don't avoid suspicion, you can ask him directly." I'd like to hear about it too. “
Li Yuyao looked at him with a contemplative look. Wu Wenyi was impatient; "What the hell is wrong with you woman, how can you stare at people so unreasonably."
Hearing this, Li Yuyao smiled; "I'll come when I go." Then he went out without waiting for Wu Wenyi's reaction. She went back to the house to get the account book, these things she had to sort out today, tomorrow they made an appointment to meet in the shop, and then these things would be handed over to her mother, and her mother promised her to do a business on her own, and she didn't have to worry about winning or losing, the profit was hers, and the loss was her mother's, but she prepared the personnel herself, so it was a challenge.
Li Yuyao, who was holding the account book, re-entered the study and pulled out the chair on the side and sat down, put away her account book and paper and began her own work, taking Wu Wenyi's ink close to her, she used her own special pen, which was also made before, a bit like the pen made by birds in the 19th century in Europe, because it was difficult to master the brush in ancient China to calculate. This series of actions has completely faded all her previous pretense and reserve, as if subconsciously she has done so, as naturally and casually as in the university library, and even more like the men of this world, because she has not even saved polite words.
Wu Wenyi was surprised, he was surprised how much he knew about his own woman or if he married the wrong one, he didn't know her at all, she didn't behave like any woman he knew, but obviously she had long been used to it and didn't mean to, if the businessman's daughter was uneducated, he snorted in his heart, and he told himself to wait and see. So the only curiosity about her was curbed, unwilling to explore, unwilling to ask, such as a very strange pen.
Li Yuyao didn't know about his observation, and she didn't care, she was immersed in her business kingdom, frowning for a while, biting her lip and pondering for a while, and slowly Wu Wenyi also started to read quietly.
When Jing Wenzhou appeared in front of the door, he saw this admiration, which aroused ripples in his heart, what he liked and longed for was such a scene, he and his wife were like partners and more like close friends, they would say everything, grow and progress together, and help each other in life. He hesitated for a moment, but still stepped into the room, and after greeting and sitting down, Wu Wenyi said that Li Yuyao wanted to ask him about geography, and he happily agreed and began to talk about the geography of the whole country.
Jing Wenzhou's explanation was like a picture scroll, slowly unfolding in front of Li Yuyao's eyes. In contrast, she realized that her current knowledge of geography was sufficient, because the Song Dynasty could actually control no larger land than we now have on the map of China, and perhaps at that time we were proud, disdainful of the barren places and neglected to manage them, or did not classify the foreigners as our own people.
She kept asking questions and put what she knew into practice, that feeling was fulfillment, Li Yuyao, who realized this, was excited, knowing and hearing with her own ears are really two different things.
The duckweed-like feeling gradually gained hope to hit the ground. Thinking about coming here, what you see and hear is both strange and familiar, and it is difficult to find a soulmate, and all kinds of sorrows are carried alone and cannot be told.
Li Yuyao felt that he had met a confidant, and for Jing Wenzhou, he was amazed by Li Yuyao's knowledge and insight, the fruits and vegetables she described were not available here, but from her mouth it was such an image, she knew no less about human geography than him. After Jing Wenzhou finished speaking, she paused and changed the topic to the country's political system and political system.
But because of time, Wu Wenyi interrupted the conversation: "I think Brother Zihou should also eat, you might as well stay together, right?" “
In fact, when Wu Wenyi said these words, he was a little jealous, because he couldn't interject in the whole conversation, he didn't marvel at his wife's knowledge, for a moment he was amazed, but he still said that sentence plainly.
Li Yuyao didn't wait for Wu Wenyi's words to land, he had already called the maid and the maid to set up a meal in the living room, and then invited Jing Wenzhou to move forward. No matter how immersed Li Yuyao was in her own affairs, she also sensed it, and hurriedly retreated behind Wu Wenyi without making a sound. Wu Wenyi suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.
Jing Wenzhou didn't plan to stay for dinner, the attitude of Wu Wenyi and his wife was very strange in his eyes, not what newlyweds should have, and even if a man is not as sensitive as a woman, it doesn't mean that a man is a fool.
He obviously felt that Li Yuyao wanted to continue the topic, and he felt that since he came, he would meet her request, and he might not have such a close chance to get along in the future.
After sitting down, Li Yuyao asked Jing Wenzhou to move the chopsticks first, and then she took Jing Wenzhou's favorite fish head and put it on Jing Wenzhou's plate.
Li Yuyao said unknowingly: "Thank you for your previous guidance." Then she looked at her husband, who was waiting for him to put off his chopsticks.
Wu Wenyi's calm mood was ignited again, he was very angry, what do you mean, openly flirting, and in front of his husband, this is repaid, right is his best friend. Jing Wenzhou had already sensed Wu Wenyi's embarrassment, after all, his classmates for many years knew him so well, he raised his wine glass to Wu Wenyi and said, "Brother Jun Shen, come, let's have a drink." ”
Li Yuyao waited for them to finish drinking and said, "Mr. Jing, I won't accompany you when you have dinner with your husband, and when you finish eating and wait for me, I want to ask Mr. for advice again." Who is the fool? Wu Wenyi's expression was too obvious.
Then she looked at Wu Wenyi and said, "I'll go back to the house first, you can use it slowly." Without waiting for Jing Wenzhou to speak, Wu Wenyi was already furious: "How long are you going to trouble Brother Wen Hou, he doesn't have time, you better ask me." ”
"No, don't bother you, I'll ask Mr. Jing, his explanation is concise and to the point. Li Yuyao's tone did not have ups and downs, did not complain, and was completely a statement of facts. She can ask her husband for advice, in fact, there is no need to ask more things, her angry stubbornness is because of Wu Wenyi's attitude, that kind of distrust, not understanding herself, and not respecting herself! It's so faceless!
In fact, if you look at her carefully at this time, she is smiling, that kind of modern commercial smile, a kind of business-like look, with a sense of vigorous and resolute, if you are a modern person, you will not be a stranger, but the problem is that they are from the Song Dynasty. Which Song Dynasty had such a conversation between husband and wife, and the woman opened in a dominant way? Wu Wenyi was stunned for a moment, and Li Yuyao had already left, leaving two men with their own thoughts. Wu Wenyi's stunned look was not attracted, but because of the incredible trampling on her husband's power, she was simply a lawless woman, and she didn't know how she fell in love with this crazy woman in the first place, they were completely different people, he even suspected that Li Yuyao was a twin, and it might not be the one he fancied, he felt that he was also crazy, and he was mad by Li Yuyao.
In fact, Li Yuyao regretted it after returning to the room, what happened to her? After all, Jing Wenzhou is a guest, and an important friend, and he still wants him to promote Li Yuze in the future, after all, he and Yuze still have a teacher-student relationship.
Wu Wenyi didn't want to pay attention to Li Yuyao, wanted to cool her down, kill her arrogance, and had the audacity to do her sake. However, after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I still can't embarrass Brother Wen Hou, forget it, go back and clean her up!
Wu Wenyi asked the maid to inform Li Yuyao that the guests had finished eating, and Li Yuyao hurriedly sorted out her things, (she took these to the study before, and Xing'er brought them back when she left the study for dinner.) went away, but when she turned to the door of the study, she was told that Jing Wenzhou had already left. Li Yuyao, who was standing in front of the door of the study, was very disappointed, why did she leave, didn't she just inform that she had run out of food.
"What? I'm very disappointed, I don't understand, you are a woman who asks what country's system, you want to be out of office and can't get into the government, it's really ridiculous, even if you lose face, don't you be in front of outsiders! Wu Wenyi looked at Li Yuyao and said mockingly.
Li Yuyao met his gaze Ling Ran and said: "Lang Jun is wrong, I asked the system because everyone can't escape the system, and they are all servants under the system, that is, if you want to survive by the system, you must understand the system, and it is the same reason that you can win a hundred battles only by knowing each other and knowing yourself, because don't forget, Lang Jun, I have a business under the system." I can't watch someone else make money and I lose money, just because of my ignorance and luck. “
Wu Wenyi was taken aback, he had never thought of these words, but he quickly calmed down, and he couldn't mess up and let this little woman laugh at him, he told himself. So he contemptuously: "You mean that the system can help you make money? Amusing! In fact, he didn't realize that there was an inquiring meaning in his tone, but he was as proud as he was, how could he admit it?
Li Yuyao still smiled in a commercial style, and her tone was unhurried. "That's not it, I just want to know more to make the right judgment, such as grasping the dynamics of the imperial court and adjusting the direction of my business." ”
"What role does that play for the literati system?" Wu Wenyi asked unabashedly, there was no longer a contemptuous tone, he didn't realize it, maybe he felt that what Li Yuyao said made sense.
Li Yuyao smiled: "If you know the monarch's preferences and understanding of the entire system, you will prescribe the right medicine and write articles that the monarch appreciates, so as to achieve the goal of becoming an official, so as to realize your life ambitions, but if you just blindly express your feelings, you will inevitably lose your name." ”
