"Let's put this aside, don't dislike it, there is one thing, I have always been unable to figure it out, men want women to keep chastity, to live to keep, that is, to die, men die, women still have to guard, this guard I also agree, but why don't men keep it? Husband and wife are enemies, everyone is equal, women must guard, do men have to guard more? Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng and asked, Su Zicheng was almost stunned when he heard it, and he was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and nodded at Li Xiaoqi for a long time before he spoke: "What is this?" There are differences between men and women in this world, and each has its own role, which is a matter of course! How can you ??????"
"Justified? Ha! Li Xiaoqi shook his head and smiled: "Tianjing? Where did the Book of Heaven come from, Emperor of Heaven? The Emperor of Heaven has three wives and four concubines? Oh, no, it's not a concubine, it's a few concubines, a few concubines, a full house of women? As for the righteousness of the land, I see that the land temple is also dedicated to a land father-in-law with a land mother-in-law, when have you ever seen a land lord dragging a group of concubines? ”
Su Zicheng's face was depressed and crying: "What nonsense are you talking about?" This is the way of the Guidelines, the righteousness of the sages??????"
"Sage? What sages? Are there even fewer of those sages talking nonsense? What Qi people have a wife and a concubine, and even beggars have a wife and a concubine? He himself lives by begging, what do he take to support his wife and concubine? This aside, let me ask you, according to your Beiping law, can the beggar take a concubine? 'Those who are over forty years old and have no children will be accepted as a concubine, and those who violate it will be punished with forty lashes', is that what it says? Isn't this law also said to be made according to the will of the sages? Having said that, the common people can live together with one husband and one wife, how can they be rich and rich, and after reading the books of the sages, they can't? Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng and asked, Su Zicheng listened with his mouth half open, and didn't know what to say for a while, Li Xiaoqi took a deep breath, sighed sadly, waved his hand in annoyance and said: "Forget it, I won't argue with you about this, ancients like you don't understand at all!" It's just a chicken and a duck, last year's Shuitong case, I was sad, which is not good? Even a son was born, that Chen Zhongzhong abandoned his wife and son, and used his wife's makeup to raise a concubine, no one blamed him, but said that Shui Tong was not generous! Alas! Forget it, don't talk about it, I don't care about others, and I can't control so much, anyway, I'd rather die than be so idle, and I don't expect to find a man who is willing to keep and keep it, just be careful, I won't marry, save worry and effort! Li Xiaoqi waved his hand down and announced categorically, Su Zicheng was stunned for more than a quarter of an hour before he came to his senses, what kind of nonsense is this? This girl is crazy!
"You're a ?????? This marriage, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can you be so presumptuous? Even if your parents are gone, you still have a brother! Su Zicheng frowned and reproached, Li Xiaoqi shook the rocking chair, didn't look at Su Zicheng, and said lazily: "Big brother, they won't force me, and they can't force me, as long as you don't force me, who else can control me?" You promised me that I would be free. Su Zicheng held his breath in his throat, unable to speak for a long time, Li Xiaoqi shook for a while, turned his head to look at Su Zicheng, sighed and said, "What's the point of letting me marry?" I have such a temper, I am forced to marry, if my husband takes a concubine or goes out to play with prostitutes, tell me, what can I do? It's unthinkable! Li Xiaoqi sighed to herself, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi in a daze, and couldn't say a word, what could she do? He didn't dare to think about it!
"Don't say these boring words, well, I didn't pay attention, have you and the third lady of the Guo family decided on your relationship?" Li Xiaoqi cared about Su Zicheng's lifelong events, Su Zicheng's face changed several times, Li Xiaoqi was drunk and hazy, and he didn't pay so much attention, seeing Su Zicheng's answer, he just smiled and said: "It's also a peerless beauty, but it's a pity?????? Don't talk about people behind your back, this beauty, there is a saying, to be beautiful and not self-aware, so that you will not be proud of your appearance, and your demeanor can be innocent and natural, which is the real beauty, and then there is a first-class, innocent, with a pure heart, like this, the appearance is secondary, and the natural purity of the world, the mountains and rivers between gestures and smiles is the most tempting, don't you say? ”
"Like you?" Su Zicheng listened to her silent damage to Guo Sanniang, and his inexplicable mood was a lot better, Li Xiaoqi snorted: "I have long lost my pure heart, I have long been gone, and I have been swallowed up by those messy things!" Have you decided on your relationship with the three ladies of the Guo family? When to get married? ”
"Let's talk about it," Su Zicheng was reluctant to mention this topic, so he responded vaguely and changed the topic: "I haven't seen the stars for a long time." ”
"Well, how good this starry sky is, so big and bright, so much, it seems that you can pick it up as soon as you reach out." Li Xiaoqi looked up at the twinkling stars in the dark sky, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and said with a smile, the two no longer mentioned the topic just now, only casually talked about the stars and disaster stars in the sky, until the night was cold, Su Zicheng ordered to take the cloak, Li Xiaoqi staggered to his feet, walked out, waved his hand and said goodbye to Su Zicheng, went straight out of the courtyard gate, stood at the door, turned around but didn't know which direction, Su Zicheng followed closely, draped one of his own cloaks on her, and hugged her slightly, Sending her to the door of the courtyard next door, Li Xiaoqi grabbed the cloak strap with one hand, waved it around to say thank you, and dragged the long cloak into the courtyard on the ground. Su Zicheng watched his mother-in-law hesitate and carefully close the courtyard door, and stood for a moment before slowly turning back to his yard, sitting on the rocking chair, looking up at the starry sky, slowly swaying back and forth, in the silence of the night, the very slight 'creaking' sound from the rocking chair was harsh, Dongping and Nanning stood in the darkness under the eaves, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to come forward to remind and persuade. Su Zicheng sat straight until the eastern sky was white, then he held on to the armrest of the chair, stood up stiffly, and slowly walked into the house.
Li Xiaoqi got up at dawn, and as soon as he finished washing, Nanning rushed over to report that Su Zicheng was going to inspect the Nanda camp and would take several days to come back.
got into the car, Li Xiaoqi yawned, and told Danyue to spread her hair for herself, and went to the big clothes outside, Su Zicheng was not there, and no one bothered her, so on the boring road, she still fell asleep.
After walking for four or five days, Li Xiaoqi read the excerpts on the road, and saw which place he saw on the marching map he found, compared to Wu Land, Beiping is much less populated, and all the way from Huaiyang to Kaiping Mansion is a rich place, after the Muling Station, the farmland and villages are constantly seen on both sides of the road.
In the evening of this day, when the sun was still hanging high, General Hou asked people to come over and spread the word, and today they will rest in Funanyi, and there is still a mile or two in front of them. Li Xiaoqi looked at the picture carefully for a long time, turned his head to look at the light moon and said with a smile: "Look at this picture, this Funanyi and Funan Town are in one place, I don't know how far away, if it is really so close, the weather is still early, let's go to the town for a walk, I haven't been shopping for more than half a month." ”
"It's close, such a small town, what is there to visit?" Danyue didn't think so, Li Xiaoqi looked at her: "You don't understand this!" Taiping Mansion, Yangzhou and other places, not to mention the prosperity and liveliness, but unfortunately the faces of this bustling and lively are almost the same, this small town, each town has a different temper, some of them are really annoying, some are loved, go shopping, maybe it is a pleasing town. Danyue couldn't stop laughing: "What the girl said, this town still has a temper!" ”
The two of them laughed and packed up their hair and clothes, sorted out their things, the car had gradually slowed down, and before Li Xiaoqi lifted the curtain, Nanning's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Girl," Li Xiaoqi hurriedly lifted the curtain, Nanning stood outside the car with a smile on her face and arched her hand and smiled: "The girl arrived, the master just arrived half an hour ago, and when I entered the door, I sent the little one out to see how far the girl and her party were from Funanyi, and the little one came out, and just turned the corner and saw the girl's car." ”
"The prince is back? It's early. Li Xiaoqi smiled and said a few words to Nanning, the car entered the second gate of the post station, Li Xiaoqi got out of the car, Nanning retired and passed the word, Li Xiaoqi followed the mother-in-law into the side courtyard, and went to bathe and wash first.
After bathing out, Danyue took it and said with a smile while twisting Li Xiaoyi's hair: "Girl, I have asked those mothers-in-law, this post station is next to Funan Town, and when you go out from the post station, you will walk slowly, and you will enter the town after walking for a quarter of an hour." ”
"Then let's go shopping." Li Xiaoqi was full of interest, the light moon agreed, his subordinates sped up, quickly twisted his hair up, picked a coral hairpin and plugged it in, picked a bean green waist long coat, a white silk wide skirt, Li Xiaoqi quickly packed up, was about to go out, a mother-in-law came in to report, Nanning was at the gate of the courtyard, Li Xiaoqi thought about it, and simply came out by himself, Nanning stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked at Li Xiaoqi with a surprised face, turned his head and said something, waved at Li Xiaoyi, took half a step back, watched Li Xiaoqi walk through the courtyard to the door, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence! The master said to invite the girl to go out for a walk, and before the small words were handed in, the girl came out, what a coincidence! Li Xiaoqi stopped at his feet, Su Zicheng was wearing a pine green robe, wearing a green jade belt, standing at the gate of the courtyard with his back straight, staring at Li Xiaoqi for a long time, before turning slightly sideways to let Li Xiaoqi go, and asked with a gentle face: "Where do you want to go?" To the west is the mountains and mountains, and to the east is the town of Funan, and the town is also lively. ”
"I want to go around town." Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile.
