Chapter 123: Be Honest and Honest
This inexplicable move made Duan Zifeng stunned, what is going on? Is it just to come out and take a look at himself? Duan Zifeng was puzzled!
Huang Ying and Ouyang Xue live in the same room, Ouyang Xue has been out for so long, why didn't Huang Ying react? Could it be that she is really looking for something to do with herself but waiting for herself in the room?
A mobile phone text message prompt came from Huang Ying's room, and after a while, Huang Ying's door opened, and she walked out of it with a puzzled expression, and came directly to the sofa where Duan Zifeng was lying.
Duan Zifeng didn't want to continue to pretend to be asleep, so he quickly got up and sat up.
"Zifeng, what are you looking for me?" asked Huang Ying.
Duan Zifeng smiled bitterly, this must be Ouyang Xue's ghost elf's trick, but since Huang Ying has come out, he just wants to talk to her, so he said: "It's okay, Ouyang Xue's girl did a ghost trick, since it's out, let's chat!"
Huang Ying was originally puzzled, according to Duan Zifeng's character, it was impossible for him to ask himself to come to the living room alone when Ouyang Xue was also present, and said with a smile: "Xue'er just loves to make this kind of little joke, I've slept and it's fine, aren't you sleepy?
"I'm fine! I was about to fall asleep, but I was woken up by that girl, where did she go to the bathroom! She tricked me out, and the room was occupied by her! It seems that I haven't cleaned up enough, next time I will repair her!" Duan Zifeng said with a smile.
Huang Ying understood that she had a sister in order to create opportunities for herself, of course, she had to say a few good words for her, so she covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't tease her! You don't know yet, when she talks to me about you, she can't wait to eat you! I've never seen her so emotional about a boy before! But that's a joke, I know she has a good impression of you in her heart!"
"Is it? You have to eat me and still have a good impression of me? It's really strange to say, when I first met her, she looked like a quiet and beautiful girl, who would have thought that she would be so naughty, so ah, people can't be good-looking, and the understanding of people can never just look at superficial phenomena!" Duan Zifeng sighed.
Hearing the string song, Huang Ying immediately asked, "Do you want to say that the two of us don't know enough about the truth?"
Listening to Huang Ying's question, Duan Zifeng sneered, thought for a while, and said: "Huang Ying, what do you think about the importance of marriage between men and women in ancient times? Don't get me wrong, just talk about it, it's really a casual chat!"
Huang Ying thought that Duan Zifeng was indirectly rejecting himself with the concept of portal, and said with bitterness in her heart, and said with a little anger: "Then what else do you think? Of course it's not right! The bad habits of feudal society, as long as two people really love each other, what's the matter with the family portal?"
"Of course, in our current opinion, that kind of portal concept is feudal and rude, but think about it on the other hand, why did that kind of portal concept appear?" Duan Zifeng asked.
"Isn't that for profit? the marriage between the official and the official, the protection of the official, the marriage between the business and the businessman, there are so many ways to make money, is there any other reason?" Huang Ying said angrily.
"Perhaps due to the relationship of time, the development of the door-to-door pair has become the phenomenon you mentioned, but I always feel that the emergence of a national custom is by no means such a simple thing, not to mention that the ancient people generally regarded money very lightly, when this custom first appeared, it was by no means based on profits! Let me tell you a story, this is a true thing that happened in the Tang Dynasty, that was in the Tang Xuanzong period, there was a champion named Zheng Hao, his father was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, it can be said that it was a famous family, at that time, Xuanzong's daughter Princess Wanshou reached the age of marriage, once when he chatted with Bai Minzhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, he talked about finding a husband for Princess Wanshou, Bai Minzhong remembered the new champion Zheng Hao, with a prominent family background and outstanding talents, so he recommended Zheng Hao to Xuanzong, Xuanzong also knew something about Zheng Hao, and he was overjoyed when he heard this, so he ordered Bai Minzhong to promote this matter。 ”
Hearing Duan Zifeng tell the story, Huang Ying was interested and listened attentively.
"If you want to marry the emperor's daughter, it is naturally a great thing, no matter who it is, as long as he becomes a concubine, it will not be a lifetime of glory and wealth? Not to mention that Zheng Hao is still the champion, and he will be mixed with officialdom in the future, and with this kind of relationship, he is still worried about not being able to be promoted? But Zheng Hao is really unwilling! Why? Because he felt that compared to the royal family, he was more willing to marry the Lu family, who was the right family member, and explained the reason to the prime minister Bai Minzhong, who came to persuade him, he said that his family and the Lu family are all family and academic origins, and the growth environment of the clansmen is almost the same, whether it is in terms of talent, knowledge, living habits, hobbies, etc., it is very close, and although the royal family is noble, but compared with these families, these many aspects are very different, if they are forcibly combined, the future life will be boring! Moreover, he and the young lady of the Lu family are in love, and the families on both sides have already agreed, so they are waiting for themselves to go back to hold the wedding!"
"Who did he marry?" asked Huang Ying curiously.
"Bai Minzhong is the prime minister of the dynasty, and he has made a package ticket in front of the emperor! So all kinds of coercion and temptation, and finally Zheng Hao was forced to have no choice, so he had to agree to the royal family, for this reason, Zheng Hao can be said to hate Bai Minzhong so much that he gritted his teeth, and in the later days, as long as he had the opportunity, he would be impeached at the first opportunity, and finally, Bai Minzhong wanted to go down to the local government to be an official, and when he left, he was very worried, and said to Xuanzong, Zheng Hao, this kid has been unable to get along with himself all these years, and he is afraid that after he goes down to the place, Zheng Hao will take the opportunity to say bad things about himself, Xuanzong laughed, took out a basket of twists and turns and told him that Zheng Hao's complaint against him over the years is almost unloadable!”
"Who deserves it! Who let him have nothing to do to pat the emperor's sycophants, and broke up the family!" Huang Ying first expressed contempt for Bai Minzhong, and then asked thoughtfully: "Zifeng, what do you want to express in this story?"
"Don't you think what Zheng Hao said has some truth? Growing up in a similar environment, personality and living habits will be relatively close, although not absolutely, but most of them should be so? For example, the words such as the temper of the eldest lady and the consciousness of small farmers are not exactly caused by the different growth environments? I think that in ancient times, the family was right, and the initial consideration should be the difference in this aspect, if the daughter of an official eunuch married a poor peasant, would she be able to stand the bad habits of the other party and the other party's family? The opposite is the same, how can the poor people stand the attention of the other party?" Duan Zifeng said step by step.
Huang Ying was silent for a while, and asked aggrievedly, "You mean I have the temper of the eldest lady?"
It is undeniable that the environment in which we grew up is completely different, not that you have the temper of the eldest lady, but that our living habits and perspectives are different, and these aspects are not able to adapt to each other in a short time, maybe you can't notice it now, because we are all in school, but if the days go by, in terms of living habits, if, I mean, if I go back to the countryside in the future, I go to plow the fields and farm, can you feed pigs and chickens at home?" Duan Zifeng asked.
"Are you worried that I won't be able to endure hardship? I'm not a pampered eldest lady, even if it's rural life, I can adapt to it!" Huang Ying replied without thinking.
"Uh! You still don't understand what I mean, and I'm not worried that you won't be able to endure hardship, how can you say it?" Duan Zifeng didn't know how to express it, and after thinking about it, he said: "If you were allowed to live like that for the rest of your life, would you feel happy? Don't be in a hurry to answer, think about it carefully." ”
Huang Ying lowered her head and thought for a while, and said: "I don't think we can live in the countryside for the rest of our lives, right? We can go to the city to live through our own efforts! But even if I live in the countryside for a lifetime, as long as I have you by my side, I will try my best to adapt!"
Duan Zifeng smiled: "That's right! That's the problem, you need to work hard to adapt to that kind of life, and I'm a native of the countryside, but you dare to guarantee that you will be able to adapt to it? It's just to illustrate a truth, people who have grown up in different environments, if they are together, there are all kinds of conflicts, if they don't think carefully together, after a long time, I'm afraid both parties will not be happy, that's what I'm worried about, so these differences need time to run in, both sides understand each other at the same time, but also make corresponding changes, and finally eliminate these differences, can you understand what I mean?"
Huang Ying thought for a while, and then said: "I understand! Speaking of which, your problem is that we haven't been dating for long enough, and we haven't understood each other well enough! Then why didn't you say it earlier? It's causing everyone to die!"
Duan Zifeng smiled bitterly: "I have said it a long time ago! I have said it more than once or twice! Huang Ying, I know that you are a good girl, maybe others will think it is incredible, falling in love is not getting married, what are you thinking about so much, but I really don't want you to be embarrassed in the future, I can't bear to let you live an unhappy life, instead of solving the problem afterwards, why can't you solve it before?"
"People still think you're making excuses!" Huang Ying heard such heartfelt words, and his heart suddenly felt like drinking half a catty of honey, sweet to the bone, it turned out that he was thinking about himself! The problem that he had been worried about these days disappeared in an instant, and the depression and sadness disappeared, and he said in a coquettish voice: "I hate it! I will give you time, but you can't provoke other girls, and you are not allowed to be cold to me, you have to accompany me for at least three days a week!"
Listening to Huang Ying's coquettish request, Duan Zifeng secretly smiled bitterly, yes!
"Let's talk about this later, it's too late today, you should rest!" Duan Zifeng persuaded.
"Then what are you going to do? Will you just sleep here? Or I'll sleep with Xue'er, and you can sleep in my room!" Huang Ying proposed.
Duan Zifeng blinked strangely and said, "No need, don't go to sleep with her, I saw two mice hiding under the bed in the room before, let her spend the night with the mouse!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a scream in the room, and then Ouyang Xue rushed out!
Looking at Huang Ying covering her mouth and snickering, Ouyang Xuejiao shouted, "You bastard, you lied to me, right?"
"Huh!" Duan Zifeng pretended to be curious and asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" It's okay, it's okay, you continue to sleep, I'm good to sleep on the sofa!"
Looking at Duan Zifeng's serious appearance, Ouyang Xue was puzzled again, this guy shouldn't know that I was eavesdropping! Could it really be that there are rats?
