Chapter 12 Self-improvement
The rain was pouring down, but Qi Xuansu released his true qi from his body, and he could also resist the invasion of wind and rain, showing his waist card all the way, and soon came to Pei Xiaolou's residence.
It just so happened that Lei Xiaohuan was also on Pei Xiaolou's side, of course the husband and wife would not be as desperate as Zhang Yuelu, neither going through the file nor discussing the case, but playing the Xuansheng card. To be precise, it was Pei Xiaolou who taught Lei Xiaohuan to play the Xuansheng card, because the rules were simple, Lei Xiaohuan had already started preliminarily, and he could even have back and forth with Pei Xiaolou.
Hearing that the Taoist priest on duty said that Qi Xuansu was invited to see, Pei Xiaolou lost the cards in his hand and asked the Taoist priest on duty to bring Qi Xuansu in.
As soon as Qi Xuansu came in, he heard Pei Xiaolou smile and said, "Good boy, I didn't return all night last night, but I looked away." ”
As he spoke, Pei Xiaolou waved his hand to signal the Taoist priest on duty to step back, and then said, "It seems that you and Deputy Hall Master Zhang have reconciled as before, or even better than before, so we don't need to worry about anything anymore." ”
Qi Xuansu had to explain: "Pei Zhenren misunderstood, the relationship between me and Qingxiao was innocent, nothing happened, just drank a little wine, accidentally got drunk until now, and just woke up not long ago." ”
"What wine can be so intoxicating." Pei Xiaolou was stunned, "Could it be 'drunk and dreaming of death'?" ”
Qi Xuansu nodded: "'Drunken Life and Dream Death' is worthy of its reputation, and after a few stomach strokes, I slept for six hours." ”
Lei Xiaohuan, who had not spoken, couldn't help but say: "You two little guys are so bold, even if you don't go to heaven, you dare to secretly drink 'drunk life and dream death'?" I remember that the Daomen strictly prohibited the sale, and there was no cultivation in the realm of heaven and man, even Zhang Yuelu couldn't buy 'drunken life and dream death', where did you get it? ”
Qi Xuansu replied truthfully: "It was obtained by opening the 'Xuanxuan Jar'. ”
"Good guy, you dare to touch the 'Xuanxuan Jar'." Pei Xiaolou sighed, "I think back then, I was still an ignorant young man, and I was cheated by the 'Xuanxuan Jar' for 6,000 Taiping money, which was a little savings that I had saved with great difficulty since I was a child, so I gave an ordinary spiritual object, and a total of 2,000 Taiping money was returned, and I lost it to my grandmother's house." ”
When Qi Xuansu heard this, he didn't say that he had won a defective treasure, so as not to irritate Pei Xiaolou.
Pei Xiaolou asked some more details about the meeting between the two.
Qi Xuansu is not good at saying everything, and it is not good not to say it, so he can only briefly summarize it. As for the details that belong to the two of them alone, nothing is said, only the two of them know.
After Pei Xiaolou listened, he sighed with emotion: "I still don't understand, how can such an excellent girl fall in love with you?" Is it really that a good woman often sleeps with a clumsy husband? ”
Qi Xuansu was not angry, after all, Pei Xiaolou helped him a lot, and he was very kind, as if he was half an elder. What's more, compared with Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu is indeed not excellent. If the two can finally become married, then in the eyes of others, it must be Qi Xuansu Gao Pan and Zhang Yuelu who are married, and even Qi Xuansu himself thinks so.
However, Qi Xuansu didn't care, but Lei Xiaohuan was unhappy and reprimanded: "There is an old saying, the swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, and it is people like you who are talking about it." You always treat others as yourself, so naturally you can't figure it out and can't figure it out. ”
Pei Xiaolou was already accustomed to his wife's reprimand, so he didn't think it was angry, but just said, "What does Madame have to say?" ”
Lei Xiaohuan said: "There's nothing I can't figure out. Let me ask you, let you go to your daughter-in-law, are you looking for one you like? Or do you want to find someone who is better than you and can give you a sense of security? ”
Pei Xiaolou looked at Lei Xiaohuan back and forth, and stopped talking.
Lei Xiaohuan sighed: "To tell you the truth, I don't blame you." ”
Pei Xiaolou said: "Few men are happy to be said to eat soft rice, so naturally they are looking for someone they like, not someone who is better than themselves." ”
He paused for a moment, and did not forget to remedy: "Of course, I'm not saying that I don't like Madame, I'm just talking about things." ”
Lei Xiaohuan ignored the second half of his sentence and said, "This is what you men think, you don't care much about women's abilities, and you care more about whether you like it or not." It doesn't matter if I'm not capable, I'm not good, I can handle it myself, and I can shelter my family from the wind and rain. ”
Qi Xuansu nodded thoughtfully.
Lei Xiaohuan said: "The reason why men don't care about the so-called sense of security, or even if they care, they can't show the slightest. It is because they have been taught since childhood that they are the pillars of the door, to support the family business, to shelter their wives and children from the wind and rain, and naturally they cannot show the slightest weakness. Showing weakness means admitting that you are inferior to others, that you are a failure, and that you will lose any status, power, and reputation. ”
Pei Xiaolou and Qi Xuansu glanced at each other, and neither of them denied it.
This is indeed the reality, the so-called support portal, the so-called pillars, the so-called shelter from the wind and rain, morality, responsibility, are all imposed on men, so the world requires men to have masculinity, not the slightest weakness.
For thousands of years, saying that a man is like a is undoubtedly a rather humiliating sentence. The world is tolerant of women, allowing women to be weak, but never allowing men to be weak. A woman can be like water, but a man will die like iron.
Pei Xiaolou asked, "What does this have to do with Zhang Yuelu's fancy to Tianyuan?" ”
Lei Xiaohuan glanced at him and said: "I don't deny that some women care very much about men's abilities and the so-called sense of security brought by men. But some women don't want to do this, they think that what men can do, they can also do, self-reliant and self-reliant. Zhang Yuelu is such a woman. ”
"You just need to compare your heart to your heart, Zhang Yuelu is a self-reliant woman, she doesn't need others to bring her a so-called sense of security, she doesn't need others to shelter her from the wind and rain, and she doesn't need to find a man to rely on. When she chooses a Taoist couple, she only needs to consider one question, whether she likes it or not. Then the question is very simple, whether Tianyuan is stronger than her or weaker than her, does it have any effect? Evenly matched is the best, even if Tianyuan is weaker than her, not as good as her, it doesn't matter, she thinks she can handle it, and she can also shelter others from the wind and rain, what is there not to understand? ”
Qi Xuansu was shocked.
He only had some vague feelings in the past, but he absolutely couldn't say it.
Pei Xiaolou reacted faster, and he had already stroked his palms and smiled: "Listening to Madame's words, it is better to read ten years of Taoism." Zhang Yuelu is such a self-improvement woman, and Mrs. is also such a self-improvement woman, you are sympathetic to each other. ”
Lei Xiaohuan glanced at him: "You don't need to slap the horse." ”
However, it can be seen that Lei Xiaohuan is still quite useful, and added: "Of course, Tianyuan is not bad, but it is a few points worse than Zhang Yuelu, and compared to others, he is a real young talent." Lao Pei is the same, although he is a little worse than me, but he still has merit compared to others. ”
This is about Lei Xiaohuan's recognition and praise.
Pei Xiaolou and Qi Xuansu glanced at each other.
Then Pei Xiaolou saw a bit of banter in Qi Xuansu's eyes.
This made him very displeased, he really wanted to tell Qi Xuansu that Lao Tzu is not strict with his wife, nor is he afraid of his wife, but he can't beat him, his skills are not as good as others, do you understand?
So Pei Xiaolou coughed lightly, planning to teach some experience from people who came over to maintain his image: "Tianyuan, you are also lucky this time, Qingxiao, this girl is more maverick, and she doesn't like to be in groups with other women, which is a good thing." ”
Qi Xuansu asked curiously, "What is this statement?" ”
Pei Xiaolou dusted off his shirt and said slowly: "Women like to compare, especially between the so-called close friends in the boudoir." For a simple example, there are two girls, and this girl has found a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist to be a Taoist couple, then the other girl looking for a Taoist priest must also be a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, or even higher, otherwise there will be no fun. ”
After all, Qi Xuansu is young and inexperienced, so he will be suspicious when he hears it.
Pei Xiaolou glanced at Qi Xuansu, as if to say that the kid was still young, and then said: "If there are such girls, like sisters, one is from the royal family, one is amazingly talented, one is beautiful and beautiful, one is beautiful and fragrant, and the other is relatively mediocre, if you are allowed to choose, which one do you think is easier to get?" ”
Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and replied, "The mediocre one." ”
"Wrong." Pei Xiaolou stretched out his index finger and swung back and forth like a pendulum, "On the premise of being like sisters and not intriguing, the difficulty of these four people is actually the same, that is to say, you are not facing one person, but four people, you must not only be worthy of the royal family, but also talented, and handsome." ”
Qi Xuansu was stunned for a long time, and held back three words: "Are these four women sick?" ”
"That's just one of them." Pei Xiaolou sighed, "Second, you are not matching with the woman you are pursuing, but with her best friends' Taoist partners, no way, this is comparison." Third, even if you hook up with one of them before everyone else, there is no other man to compare with you, and you are not at ease. At this time, the other three women will not treat you as an outsider, except for the little thing between men and women to avoid suspicion, the rest of the time, simply treat you as a public use, let you help them do this and that, their sisters are angry, you will pay. You will feel a great loss, you can only marry one, but you have to serve four aunts and grandmothers, if you can accept all four, it will be about the same. ”
Before the words fell, Lei Xiaohuan's fist had already landed on Pei Xiaolou's head, and he smiled without a smile: "Pei Xiaolou, I didn't see it, you had such an experience before you got married to me, and you had a good time?" Which four fairies are they, and they will let me see and understand when they say it? ”
Pei Xiaolou didn't dare to resist, and said with a smile: "I just said it casually, mainly to let Xiao Qi know that people's hearts are sinister, how can there be four girls." ”
Lei Xiaohuan sneered and was silent.
Although Qi Xuansu was skeptical, he was still a little lucky, fortunately Zhang Yuelu didn't like to be in groups with other women, otherwise he didn't have to think about it to know what the attitude of those close friends was, Zhang Yuyue was the best example.
Lei Xiaohuan no longer talked nonsense to Pei Xiaolou, and turned to look at Qi Xuansu: "Tianyuan, let's get down to business." ”
