166 The One with Three Heads and Six Arms?
"The third reason, compared to the first two, may be a little thinner." Hengyu looked at his family and said seriously: "That's it, I believe in him." β
If the first two are based on objective rational analysis, then this reason sounds much more subjective.
In front of outsiders, or some childish words. But this is at home, and she is facing the family she trusts the most.
"Is it just because of the good temperament of this Marquis Xiao that you have seen?" Ning Yu asked her sister.
But my sister even said it just now, even the prince may not be credible.
What about this Marquis Xiao?
"That's not all." Heng Yu said: "I have lived and died with him, and I was with him when he was assassinated. β
"What?" Old Madam Meng mentioned in her heart: "Have you ever been injured?" β
Ji Nanxian: "I haven't heard you talk about this in your letter!" β
"What was the situation then? But it's particularly thrilling? Ning Yu also hurriedly asked.
Yu's thoughts, which have always jumped out of his mind, are one step faster, and after a moment of nervousness, he has breathed a sigh of relief - fortunately, Xiao Yu'er is fine.
"If I had explained in the letter at that time, where would it be possible for my brother to continue to let me stay in Yingzhou, I am afraid that I will be arrested if the sky is broken." Heng Yu smiled: "Aren't I coming back in a good way now." β
"Don't talk about these things, were you injured at the time?" Mrs. Meng insisted on asking, looking at her granddaughter from head to toe with a pair of eyes distressed.
"Grandmother, don't worry, no, not at all." There was a smile in the girl's eyes, but her expression was particularly serious: "It was Xiao Hou who protected me, and left me with the way of life several times without hesitation." β
Before entering the secret passage, he pushed her into the secret passage, intending to stay behind himself to delay time for her - she forced him in.
When he entered the secret passage, he was bleeding profusely, and he had to go separately from herβand she had dragged him with her.
In such an urgent situation, no one has extra time to think about the trade-offs, but he doesn't want to leave the chance to live to her again and again.
"Grandmother, you say, such a friend of life and death, isn't it worth my trust?"
Yu's eyes widened when he heard this.
What's more!
This is more than trustworthy!
Ask her to say, this, this, this...... Right?
Yu omitted 10,000 words in his mind.
Looking at the girl's clear and determined apricot eyes, Mrs. Meng came back to her senses, smiled, and bowed her head lightly: "According to this, he actually saved our little Yu'er's life?" β
The girl hurriedly said, "I also saved his life." β
Seeing her granddaughter like this, the smile in Mrs. Meng's eyes suddenly deepened.
"Our little Yu'er's vision has always been not bad." Ning Yu said softly: "I believe that Xiao Yu'er will not look at the wrong person, and I have no objection to the alliance." β
"I agree!" Yu Shi held his stomach with one hand, and raised his other hand: "I agree with this in my stomach, it's two people!" β
Hengyu couldn't help but smile, and then looked at his grandmother.
Old Madam Meng nodded slowly, her eyes were pleased, and her tone was smiling: "Ah Heng went to Yingzhou here, and after his eighteenth birthday, he really grew up a lot...... Speaking of such a big girl, it is time to save face, how can she regret having promised others? β
Heng Yu was already sitting in the chair beside her, and when she heard this, she leaned over, grabbed the old man's arm, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you grandmother for making it complete." β
Yu Shi on the side couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the top of his sister-in-law's head.
Ji Nanxian, who was sitting there, sighed.
Only...... What's wrong with him again?
"Brother hasn't said anything yet." Ning Yu said with a smile.
Ji Nanxian spread his hands: "Do I still have to express my position?" β
"Absolutely." Yu Shi looked at her husband: "You have to let us see how you behave, right?" β
Looking at the gaze of those brushes looking at him, Ji Nanxian pondered for a moment, put his hands on his knees, and tried his best to maintain the majesty of the pillars of the family: "In this case, when I find an opportunity one day, I will also meet this Dingbei Marquis in person." β
Heng Yu immediately said: "Thank you, brother! β
Ji Nanxian smiled bitterly and said nothing-it's my brother, thank you.
It is clear that the overall situation has been decided, but he is still willing to go and say thank you, how can he not thank him for giving him face like this?
The family sat together and talked for a long time about the alliance with Xiao Mu and the various situations that they might face in the future.
The more Heng Yu talked about it, the more relieved he felt.
The road is difficult to walk, but as long as the family is in one place, it always makes people feel empowered. If you hold a lamp in your hand, you will not be afraid of the long night.
After talking about it, Yu asked about what Hengyu had seen and heard in the north.
She was the daughter of a military attache who grew up in the Northland, but she hadn't been back for many years, so she was quite curious about what Yingzhou looked like now, but there had been no change.
Hengyu said a lot, and wanted to let the family relax, so he talked about some interesting things, and sure enough, everyone laughed non-stop, and Mrs. Meng laughed so much that tears were about to fly out, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Ning Yu smiled and smiled, but secretly reddened her eyes.
Xiao Yu'er is back, and home is more like home.
Ji Nanxian had a smile on his face, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and suddenly asked: "By the way, I just heard from someone that Yingzhou Gu Niangzi came to the house as a guest, why didn't she see anyone?" β
Yu said: "Listen to the long-distance fatigue in the south, and go to rest after dinner." β
Ji Nanxian nodded clearly: "Then tomorrow, I will go to thank Gu Niangzi again." β
Saying that, he looked at the two sisters of Heng Yu and Ningyu: "Your sister-in-law, she is inconvenient to go out now, so you will take Gu Niangzi out and walk around, walk around the city, and leave people at home for a longer period of time, and it is not in vain for people to come all the way to such a trip." β
Ning Yu and the others responded.
Only Yu retorted a little unwillingly, only saying that he still had more than half a month before giving birth, and his body, legs and feet were always flexible and light, so he couldn't go out.
Ji Nanxian hurriedly said that he had lost his words for a while.
In the courtyard, Cuihuai walked in with the sleepy Ashu, and seeing that the hour was not early, Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "Let's go back and rest, sleep well, and talk about it tomorrow." β
Juniors should come down.
Ji Nanxian took his daughter in his arms and returned to the courtyard with his wife.
After Heng Yu and Ning Yu sent Mrs. Meng back, the two sisters went to Ning Yu together, holding hands.
I haven't seen him for half a year, and the words are endless, Hengyu is cheeky and wants to sleep with Ning Yu.
After washing and bathing, they changed into comfortable clothes, lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, covered with a soft and clean quilt, and whispered to each other by the moonlight leaking in from the window.
"Xiao Yu'er, the Marquis Xiao you mentioned, everyone says that he is young, but how old is he?"
"I'm six years older, and I'm twenty-four this year."
"Then how young is that...... Ning Yu asked again, "Then how does he look?" β
In the darkness, Heng Yu, who was draped in black hair and looked more and more plain and fair, bent the corners of his mouth, pressed his hands on the quilt, and said softly: "It's very beautiful." β
Ning Yu, who was also lying flat, heard the words and lay on his side and faced his sister: "Although he is not married, there are some concubines in the back house, right?" β
"Not really." Heng Yu said: "He doesn't like to come into contact with people by temperament, he is very defensive, he is busy with war all year round, and he ......"
"Plus what?" Ning Yu's eyes widened with curiosity.
Hengyu wanted to laugh a little: "In addition, the people of Yingzhou regard him as a god, and most of the women only dare to watch from afar, but do not dare to blaspheme...... After coming and going, he was left behind. β
"Ah......" Ning Yu was quite surprised when he heard this, and said after coming back to his senses: "But if he is such a powerful envoy and prince, if he has the heart, there is also a way to enrich the back house...... This can be regarded as self-cleansing, but it is very rare. I thought that there was only one Shaoyan in the world who could do this. β
"The so-called innocence of honor is a scumbag for women, so if men are as good as jade, it is not worth saying it alone, and compared with women, they can at least choose for themselves, whether to keep it or not, but it is just that each person's temperament and style are different." Hengyu said casually, not derogatory or praised.
"That's true." Ning Yu said: "Men who can clean themselves are always much better than those men who have a group of wives and concubines in the family, and even prostitutes to raise their outer rooms, or even cheat on marriage and marry others." β
Hengyu nodded, she agreed with this, compared to the fact that this was true.
"Xiao Yu'er...... You have never valued the so-called innocence of the name, nor do you care about the world's discussions, you are always free and open, and you have always made friends regardless of your identity...... Then sister will ask you, if you marry in the future, you may accept your husband to take concubines and prostitutes to enrich the back house? Ning Yu asked hesitantly.
"Naturally, I don't accept it." Hengyu didn't think about it: "I don't think I'm free and open, I don't care about the innocence of the name, it's because these secular stereotypes are everywhere used to oppress and humiliate women, this kind of obvious bullying thing, what do I care about?" At the end of the day, all I expect is fairness. β
Ning Yu silently breathed a sigh of relief: "It's Sister Ah who thinks too much, I see that you treat the ladies of Hualou without prejudice, so I mistakenly think that you are also tolerant of men and prostitutes......"
Heng Yu said: "Most of the ladies in the flower building are forced to make a living from this, they are either trafficked here, or the daughters of sinners are degraded to lowly status. If they were not forced to be helpless, they would not want to be despised by the world, and if they did not hold this bowl of rice, they would starve to death, and those who were in the mire and tried to survive should only be sympathized with rather than despised. But the men who go to prostitution are different, can't they live if they don't go to the flower house? β
Ning Yu sighed: "It's not, but some men regard this as a romantic affair, and what else do they say, they are all pitiful women, pity their suffering, and take care of their business......"
Heng Yu sneered lightly: "But if there were no prostitutes, they would not have such an experience, let alone this so-called business." β
If this is the case, those women will always have other places to go, maybe a little better, or worse - but even if it will only be worse, it is all caused by the injustice of the world's system, and it does not mean that the existence of Hualou is correct, and it is used by men to "pity and redeem" them.
A business that has no choice is not a business, but just to survive.
Heng Yu looked at the bed tent, his eyes gradually drifting a little farther away: "It is only the poor people who strive to survive in the suffering that are worthy of praise, but not the suffering itself, and it is not appropriate to ignore the injustice that brings these sufferings." β
A soft hand covered Hengyu's slightly cool hand.
"Sister knows what Xiao Yu'er is thinking...... Ning Yu's soft voice sounded: "In the future, you just have to do what you want...... My grandmother, my brother, and my sister-in-law and I all know what you're asking for, and we all know you're right. β
"Some things are difficult to do, it seems to be more difficult than ascending to the sky, so many women simply told themselves that it was wrong, it was against the laws of the world, and it was to be punished by heaven......" Ning Yu clenched her sister's hand: "So, our little Yu'er is really powerful and brave." β
Hengyu turned his face slightly, and when he saw his sister's face with a warm smile, he couldn't help but smile.
If she is truly brave, then this bravery is not innate.
It is the teaching of Ah Weng since childhood, and the tolerance, trust and understanding of his family that have given this brave breeding soil.
Therefore, this bravery also belongs to Sister A and everyone in her family.
"Leave these for the future and do it slowly......" talked about Ah Weng today, talked about the future predicament, Ning Yu didn't want her sister to be stuck in these emotions all the time, so she said: "Where did you just talk about?" β
"Speaking of whether I can accept my husband and prostitute concubines in the future." Heng Yu blinked his eyes and said, "Actually, it's not completely unacceptable......
Ning Yu let out an "ah" and looked at her sister.
"When women can also accept male favorites and can freely enter and exit the small house, I will be able to accept men to take concubines and prostitutes."
After Ning Yu was stunned for a moment, he laughed out loud, and poked Hengyu's forehead with his finger: "You......"
Hengyu reached out to tickle her, and the laughter of the two sisters came out of the window, disturbing the silent moonlight.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Hengyu prepared everything and got into the carriage to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongyang.
The carriage left Yankang Fang and headed east.
When I was about to cross Suzaku Street, I heard that it was particularly noisy outside the carriage, and it was difficult for the carriage to move forward for a while.
"What's going on out there?" Cui Huai raised the curtain and asked.
"A lot of people are coming here......" the coachman looked ahead, "as if there was some great event." β
Sitting on the seat with the coachman, Cheng Ping, who went out to recognize the way, looked at it steadily, and said, "It seems that Xiao Hou and they have entered the city." β
Hengyu heard the words and looked out through the curtain of the car raised by Cuihuai, and saw that the flow of people was crowded and busy, and they all rushed forward.
"What's going on?" There are people who are not aware of the situation and ask passers-by.
"You don't know yet, it's General Xiao who has entered Beijing!"
"General Xiao...... Which General Shaw? Isn't it the famous Xiao Jie envoy in the Northland - the one with natural divine powers, three heads and six arms?! β
"That's right!"
"Then we have to open our eyes and walk around...... Hurry up! β
"It seems that I can't go for a while, so let's get out of the way." Hengyu confessed to the coachman, and then took Cuihuai out of the carriage and joined the noisy crowd.
General Xiao entered the city with such a grand occasion, as a common man in Beijing, how could she miss such a bustle?
