Chapter 15 Fifteenth round of desolate life experience

The cousins ​​who had never met before should have been very happy to reunite, but Xiao Yuexian was depressed because of the daytime affairs. After dinner, he sat with his cousin for a while and said to his mother: "Mom, I'm a little Headache." Go to bed first. Mrs. Xiao shook her head, sighed and said: "This child is really a headache! Whether it is big or small, I have to worry about everything for her." Yun Ziluo said: "That child from the Shao family is very nice, Auntie, why don't you make the decision earlier and arrange this marriage for my cousin."

Mrs. Xiao said: "A few years ago, your cousin was still young. I originally wanted to get engaged to her after her eighteenth birthday this year, but they seem to be unable to get along recently. I don't know why. I worry." Yun Ziluo said: "Marriage is pre-determined. If they love each other and quarrel occasionally, it's nothing. But wait a year or two, and then get engaged when they grow up." She knew the reason , but it was inconvenient to tell my aunt, and I thought to myself: "When my cousin's temperament is settled, she will know that she should choose the right one. I hope she won't be like me and miss the good match."

Mrs. Xiao said: "That's right, you haven't told me yet. Whose son did you marry? Are the husband and wife in harmony? Why didn't you come with your husband and son-in-law this time? Is there something unspeakable?" Yun Ziluo really had something hard to say, and her aunt touched the wound in her heart, and her eyes turned red. Mrs. Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Zi Luo, if there is anything unsatisfactory about you, please tell Auntie properly. Tell Auntie to think for you." Although the aunt was close, how could she confide in her secret relationship with Meng Yuanchao to her aunt?Under my aunt's questioning, I could only hold back my tears and said: "Auntie, I have no relatives now, so I have to come to you."

Mrs. Xiao was taken aback, and said, "Where's your husband? Did Weng Gu treat you badly, or did your husband abandon you?" Yun Ziluo said: "Your niece and son-in-law is Yang Mu of Jizhou, he, he has always treated me very well." Mrs. Xiao said: "Ah, so your husband-in-law is Yang Mu of Jizhou, I have heard his name before, I heard that he is a very famous martial artist, he can be regarded as a man who has made great achievements in the Jianghu. .Since he is good to you, why are you still so sad?" Yun Ziluo burst into tears and said, "He, he is already dead."

Yun Ziluo didn't want to lie to her aunt, but firstly, it was difficult to tell her secrets, and secondly, she had indeed held a funeral for her husband. Relatives and friends knew that when Yang Mu pretended to die, she had repeatedly told her to keep it secret. secret.She didn't know what happened to Yang Mu later, since she couldn't make up any other lies, she could only follow the rules and obey her husband's instructions. Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a while, stroked her hair, and said: "Oh, poor child. Don't cry, don't cry, Auntie will take care of you. But, I still have to ask you, please don't cry !"

Yun Ziluo wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you, Auntie, what does your old man want to know?" Mrs. Xiao said: "Who else is there in your husband's family?" Yun Ziluo said: "When I passed the door, Weng Gu had already passed away. Yang Mu also has no brothers, only a widowed elder sister." Mrs. Xiao said: "Do you have children?" Yun Ziluo said: "There is a child who is seven years old this year." At this point, she couldn't help but blushed, because Yang Hua's child was not actually Yang Mu's flesh and blood, but the child of her and Meng Yuanchao.

Mrs. Xiao said: "Since you have a child, why don't you stay at your husband's house, where is the child?" Yun Ziluo said: "His aunt took him away." Mrs. Xiao is a sophisticated person. Hearing this, she understood a little in her heart, and said, "Is Yang Mu's sister at odds with you?" Yun Ziluo couldn't help but burst into tears again, and said: "I can't please my eldest sister, that's my fate." Madam Xiao said, "How did she treat you?" Under her aunt's questioning, Yun Ziluo couldn't dodge, so she could only tell the truth halfway, and said: "She said that my younger brother died suspiciously, so I am not allowed to raise their Yang family's flesh and blood."

Mrs. Xiao thought to herself: "So she was kicked out by my aunt." She didn't know the reason, so she couldn't help feeling angry, and said: "You are too arrogant and unreasonable, good niece, don't worry, I will definitely Out of anger for you." Yun Ziluo said: "Of course I want to come back with my child, but I don't want to make a big fuss with her yet, and after staying for a few years, I will talk about it when the child grows up a little. I am very grateful to my aunt for helping me , but please bear with me for a while, old man." Mrs. Xiao said: "I also know your embarrassment, but at least you have to reason with her. Which family does she marry and where does she live?"

Yun Ziluo said: "She is married to the Qi family in Baoding. This family is also very famous in the martial arts. Her husband's name is Qi Shaobei. He has passed away for many years." Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Baoding Qi's family? There is a Qi Jianye who is nicknamed Universal Dragon. Who is she from her husband's family?" Yun Ziluo said: "It's her husband's uncle." Mrs. Xiao slapped the table, gritted her teeth and said: "I was going to settle accounts with this old man, okay, now they bully you again, the old hatred has added a new hatred, I must take care of this matter! "

Yun Ziluo was taken aback, and said, "Auntie, what kind of quarrel did you have with Qi Jianye, the Dragon of the Four Seas?" Mrs. Xiao said: "Your uncle died because of him! For more than ten years, we have been running around and dare not go home because we want to avoid this old thief." Yun Ziluo was shocked and said: "What's going on?" She thought: "Although Qi Jianye has a bad temper, he can be regarded as a chivalrous man in the world, how could he have such a deep hatred with his uncle?" Mrs. Xiao said: "Speaking of which, it was eighteen years ago. I was just pregnant with your cousin that year." Yun Ziluo thought to herself, "So it was exactly the year before I arrived in Suzhou."

"Your uncle has a friend named Meng Qianshan, who donates money to others. Your uncle was poor when he was young, and he received alms from him. Later, this man surnamed Meng opened a mountain and became the village owner of Yinmachuan. At that time, I I'm married to your uncle, and I don't want your uncle to have friends in the green forest, and the man named Meng doesn't want to hurt your uncle, so they cut off contact. But because of the extraordinary friendship, your uncle Although it is inconvenient to communicate with him, I still miss him from time to time." Mrs. Xiao reminisced about the past, sighed, and continued: "It seems that your uncle is nosy about this matter. That year Meng Qianshan robbed a bodyguard. Yes. Han Juyuan, the chief escort of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, is the leader of dozens of escort firms in the north, and your husband is a martial artist, so you must know him." Yun Ziluo said: "You only know that Min Chenglong, Yang Mu's eldest disciple, is still a head of the Zhenyuan Escort, but he only joined the Escort two years ago." Mrs. Xiao nodded, and said, "That's right. Although more than ten years have passed, the fact that your eldest disciple was able to join the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau as a bodyguard may have something to do with it." At that moment, Mrs. Xiao took a sip of tea and continued: "The guards of Zhenyuan Security Bureau were robbed, and Han Juyuan was unwilling to let it go. Originally, if he asked someone to intercede, Meng Qianshan would definitely return it to him, but he relied on The dominance and arrogance reached the point where Meng Qianshan couldn't bear it. He wanted Meng Qianshan to invite black and white famous people, and return the robbed bodyguards with both hands. In front of the heroes of the world, kowtow to him to apologize!" Yun Ziluo said: "Meng Qianshan is also a famous figure in the Jianghu, so of course he refuses." Mrs. Xiao said: "Yes, so your uncle has to be involved in the vortex. Meng Qianshan was unwilling to give in, thinking that he was no match for Han Juyuan, so he had to invite your uncle to help. I advise your uncle not to worry about this matter. No matter, but your uncle said that he owed a friendship with the surname Meng, and he asked for help in an emergency, how could he stand by and watch? I would rather close the door and seal the sword after repaying this friendship, and never set foot in the rivers and lakes." Yun Ziluo said: "In the Jianghu, loyalty is the first priority, uncle should do so." Mrs. Xiao sighed, and said: "Why don't I understand this truth, but Han Juyuan's martial arts are really too powerful. At that time, I was pregnant again, so I couldn't go with him. I was really worried." Yun Ziluo thought to herself: "When two tigers fight, one must be injured. The one who was injured must be Uncle." Therefore, although she was eager to know the result of the contest, she dared not ask. Mrs. Xiao seemed to know her intentions, and said: "At the beginning, I was just like you, only worried that your uncle would be injured by Han Juyuan, but I didn't know that the famous head of the bodyguard Han was over-named. It was him who almost died, which was beyond my expectation." Yun Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Isn't that great?" Mrs. Xiao sighed: "But there is something even more unexpected. Meng Qianshan invited your uncle to help, and Han Juyuan was also assisted." Yun Ziluo suddenly realized, and said: "Han Juyuan's friend who assisted in boxing, is it Qi Jianye, the dragon of the world?" Mrs. Xiao said: "That's right, it's Qi Jianye, the divine dragon of the four seas!" The resentment was seen in his words, and after a long while, Fang Shi went on to say: "I didn't go with your uncle, the situation of the martial arts competition is what he told me later. of. "He said that he was shocked by Han Juyuan's prestige, and he dared not use all his strength. The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the sword did not have eyes. One move by Han Juyuan was extremely fierce, and the sword was shining, as if he wanted to kill your uncle with one blow. Yes, of course your uncle didn't dare to give him half a point, so he resorted to a killer move to deal with him. This sword pierced Han Juyuan's lower abdomen, and Han Juyuan's blood gushed like a fountain, and he fell to the ground immediately! "Qi Jianye saw Han Juyuan fell to the ground and turned into a man of blood. He thought he was dead, so he went out in a rage and wanted to kill your uncle. According to the rules of the world, your uncle had already fought. Qi Jianye He is also a famous person, so he should take care of his own status. Your uncle may not have to fight, but when Qi Jianye came to be aggressive, he said that he would block the long sword in your uncle's hand with a pair of fleshy palms. If your uncle refuses to fight, it is tantamount to showing weakness in front of the heroes of the world. Secondly, your uncle also thought that he had killed Han Juyuan. He risked his life and stood up to the challenge. "Although Han Juyuan's name is exaggerated, he is a very important person after all. His martial arts are not much worse than your uncle. Your uncle fought hard with him, and it was the end of his battle to win him. At that time, the dragon Qi Jianye was not No matter how famous you are, but your real ability is already above Han Juyuan, your uncle is weak, how can you be his opponent? In the drama battle, your uncle finally lost a move and hit him like powder with a cotton palm I slapped him hard with my kung fu!" Yun Ziluo was shocked and said, "Uncle, is it because he was seriously injured by his palm?" Mrs. Xiao said dejectedly: "It's a fluke that your uncle survived, how could he not be seriously injured? "At that time, Han Juyuan was rescued by one of his escorts, and he applied Jinchuang medicine to stop the bleeding. Maybe Qi Jianye didn't take your uncle's life because he saw that Han Juyuan didn't die. "Actually, Han Juyuan's wounds appear to be severe on the surface, but your uncle's internal wounds are more severe than his!" Yun Ziluo thought to herself: "It turned out that the enmity was formed under such circumstances. The men in the Jianghu are particular about stabbing their friends in the ribs. This cannot be completely blamed on the Four Seas Dragon." Of course, this was just her idea. That's all, I dare not tell her aunt. Mrs. Xiao took a breath, calmed down her excitement a little, and continued: "Your poor uncle suffered internal injuries. When he returned home, he couldn't rest in peace to recuperate from his illness. He will have to seek refuge soon." Yun Ziluo was surprised: "Why is that? Could it be that the Four Seas Shenlong has seriously injured Uncle, and still refuses to let him go?" She thought: "The Four Seas Shenlong was only angry at the time, and must have regretted it afterwards? Besides, he If you want to take my uncle's life, you can take it on the spot." Mrs. Xiao said: "This time it's not that the Mysterious Dragon of the Four Seas is coming to make things difficult for us, but that Han Juyuan is going to avenge your uncle's sword." Yun Ziluo frowned and said, "One palm for one sword, hasn't Qi Jianye already avenged him?" Mrs. Xiao said: "It's a pity that he doesn't think like you." Then she continued, "Han Juyuan pretends to be the number one person in the national bodyguard industry. It is of course a great shame and a shame to be defeated by your uncle this time." So after he recovered from his injury, he asked around to find out where your uncle lived, and he must avenge the sword. "Fortunately, an enthusiastic friend heard the news and rushed to tell your uncle immediately, so we have to make preparations. "Your uncle's internal injuries are still unhealed, and I'm pregnant again, besides moving to avoid revenge, what else can I think of? "It's a pity for us to hide here and there. It has been more than ten years. Although your uncle's internal injuries were healed later, his body is not as good as before. He, he died of illness three years ago. Although he died of illness, if It wasn't because he had suffered internal injuries and was weak, at least he could live another twenty years! "Chasing the source of the disaster, do you think I can not hate this old man Qi Jianye? Although Han Juyuan is also our enemy, after all, it is still second. Hmph, if your uncle suffered internal injuries and his martial arts were not greatly reduced, how could we be afraid of Han Juyuan? Seek revenge!" Yun Ziluo heard the process of the feud, but she thought in her heart: "In fact, Qi Jianye, the dragon of the world, has a much better character than Han Juyuan, the chief escort of Zhenyuan Escort." Mrs. Xiao continued: "In the second year after your uncle died, Han Juyuan also died of illness. The head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau was succeeded by his son Han Weiwu. I heard that this young man is much more sensible than his father. Quite a reconciliation with us. "The enthusiastic friend who informed us back then knew that Han Weiwu had such intentions, so he came out to mediate between the two sides. Without me meeting Han Weiwu, he promised that person that he would not hold grudges in the future. This enthusiastic friend originally had a relationship with Han Weiwu. The Zhenyuan Escort also has some origins." Yun Ziluo said: "Who is this enthusiastic friend?" Mrs. Xiao smiled slightly and said: "It is my neighbor Shao Shudu. We lived in his home for two years when we took refuge. Now that I moved back, he moved with us. Have you noticed He is a newly built house, and he came here specially to be our neighbor." Madam Xiao and Yun Ziluo talked about unpleasant things all night tonight, until now, when they talked about Shao's house, she began to smile. Yun Ziluo smiled and said, "Mr. Shao moved here, probably because of his son's orders?" What Yun Ziluo said was interesting, Mrs. Xiao also amused her, and said: "Their children are used to being together, and there are some who are reluctant to part. But what worries me is that after moving back, they These two children, on the contrary, don't seem to be as good as before." Yun Ziluo said: "As I get older, of course I'm a little shy." She said so in her mouth, but she knew in her heart that it wasn't for this reason. Mrs. Xiao sighed and said: "You're still right. Let the children take care of their own affairs when they grow up. Parents don't need to worry too much about them. Okay, Ziluo, let's go back to our original topic. Well, I don't care about their children's affairs, but you are being bullied by the Qi family, but I have to take care of this matter!" Then he said: "In order to avoid embarrassing you, I just wanted to stand up for you and reason with them at first. Now that I know that Qi Jianye, the dragon of the world, is Aunt Yang's husband and uncle, I can't be with them. You're being polite. I'll do two things together. I want to vent my anger for you and avenge my own husband! Ziluo, will you promise me to abandon my relationship with Aunt Yang? If Qi Jianye and I fight At that time, if Aunt Yang intervened, you would use your Gentle Cloud swordsmanship to deal with her? I am confident that after more than ten years of hard training, I can probably deal with the dragon of the world!" Yun Ziluo doesn't like Aunt Yang very much, but she doesn't want her aunt and Qi Jianye to avenge her grievances.But my aunt kept saying that she would stand up for her, how could she refuse to help instead?My aunt was saddened by her husband's death, and she never forgot revenge. Even if she wanted to resolve it, she couldn't resolve it for a while, so how could she be discouraged from taking revenge? Feeling very embarrassed, Yun Ziluo said in a low voice: "This, this!" Mrs. Xiao frowned and said, "What this and that? Are you willing or not?" Yun Ziluo didn't sleep even further, and her spirits were not very good. At this time, when she was pressed by her aunt, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and she spit out the cold tea she just drank with a "wow". Mrs. Xiao was an experienced woman, she was taken aback unconsciously, she looked at Yun Ziluo's abdomen carefully, and said, "Ziluo, are you pregnant?" Yun Ziluo lowered her head, blushing on her face, and said in a low voice, "That's right, it's been about two months." Mrs. Xiao suddenly realized, and thought: "No wonder she hesitated, so it was because she was pregnant." She asked, "Does Aunt Yang know?" Yun Ziluo shook her head and said, "It was only after I left the Yang family that I found out that I had a child." Mrs. Xiao nodded, and said: "It's better. If this shrew knows that you are pregnant with her brother's posthumous child, and drives you out, it will be even more unforgivable." Then she laughed, "I'm also confused, I didn't read Even though you are pregnant, I still want you to help me." Yun Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief, and thought: "Fortunately, I have this excuse." Then she said: "I was afraid that I had more energy than I wanted, so I didn't dare to promise my aunt just now." Mrs. Xiao said: "You are pregnant, of course it is inconvenient to fight with others. You are right, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Let's settle the matter with the Qi family and wait until your body recovers after giving birth. Bar." Yun Ziluo said: "But it's up to you, auntie, to make the decision." Mrs. Xiao said: "That's right, I haven't asked you yet, your mother doesn't live with your husband and wife, where is she?" Yun Ziluo said: "Mom said I want to go back to my hometown to see. After I married the Yang family, I haven't heard from her for eight years." In fact, when Mrs. Yun broke up with her daughter, she said that she wanted to go to Xiaojinchuan to find Meng Yuanchao. Yun Ziluo had no choice but to lie to her aunt again. Mrs. Xiao sighed, and said: "I didn't expect your life to be so bitter, but you don't have to be too sad, Auntie will take care of you. You can stay here with peace of mind, and let Auntie slowly inquire about your mother for you. You are pregnant, you should take good care of yourself, we will talk tomorrow if you have something to say, go to bed." After saying that, she stood up, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said: "It's all because of my carelessness. I ignored that you were pregnant, and kept talking to you. Before I knew it, it was past the third watch." Yun Ziluo arranged for her aunt to share a room with her cousin. When she entered the bedroom, she saw that Xiao Yuexian was sleeping soundly, unconscious at all. She couldn't help laughing secretly, thinking: "After all, I'm still a little girl. I thought she and Shao Henian had an awkward relationship. , must be full of thoughts, thanks to her being able to collapse down, she fell into a deep sleep." Yun Ziluo was tired all day, she really wanted to sleep, but for some reason, she tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep. The pine wind howled, my heart was surging, and my thoughts were flying.Yun Ziluo was sleepless all night.She thought of Meng Yuanchao for a while, and Yang Mu for a while, and thought: "He doesn't know where he is hiding, but I have already gone to find Meng Yuanchao, do I still have the face to go back and see him again? Well, although I don't love him, But he treats me well, and I should always return him to him in the future." Then he thought: "Aunt Yang doesn't know that Yang Hua is not her nephew, so she will treat him well after thinking about it. But he They are Meng Yuanchao's flesh and blood, and I have to try to reunite their father and son." Poor Yun Ziluo didn't know anything about what happened afterwards, and she only thought that Yang Hua was at his aunt's house, but she didn't know that she had fallen into Diancang Shuangsha's house. It's on hand. When it was almost dawn, Yun Ziluo was so exhausted that she began to shudder hazily.But he didn't sleep for long, and was awakened by the voices of his aunt and cousin. Yun Ziluo opened her eyes, only to see that the sun had passed through the screen window.Outside, Mrs. Xiao's mother and daughter were talking loudly. Xiao Yuexian said loudly: "It's not that he can't move around, why should I go to see him first?" Mrs. Xiao sighed, and said, "Oh, you really don't know what to do with your child. Whether your elder brother Shao is seriously injured or slightly injured, he always suffers for you. You should go and condole him." Xiao Yuexian said: "It doesn't matter if I go, but I'm afraid he thinks I want to curry favor with him." Mrs. Xiao said: "Oh, why can't you young couple always get along peacefully? But since there is an awkward situation, one of the parties has to make amends first. Since it was originally your fault, you should first make amends to him. What's the matter?" Xiao Yuexian originally wanted to go, but because of the girl's reserve, she hoped that Shao Henian would come to please her first.Hearing what his mother said, he pursed his lips and said, "How do you know it's my fault. Hmph, I just don't want to see him." Yun Ziluo came out and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't be angry, I'll go with you." While pulling and tugging, he suddenly heard a cough, followed by the sound of two people's footsteps. Mrs. Xiao was full of joy, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shao is here, don't you hurry to open the door? You should be happy now, you see, he is not as knowledgeable as you!" Xiao Yuexian also thought it was Shao Henian who came with his father, but when he opened the door, he saw that the person who came with Shao Shudu was not Shao Henian but Shao Ziwei. As soon as Shao Shudu entered the door, he asked, "Has the Year of the Crane ever been to your place?" Mrs. Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What, is He Nian gone? We were thinking of seeing him over there!" Uncle Shao's expression was gloomy, and he sighed, "Don't worry, his injury is healed. But for some reason, he left a letter and ran away secretly. I don't know when he ran away." Mrs. Xiao was taken aback, and said, "Run away? What did his letter say?" Shao Shudu said: "He said he would go abroad to seek a famous teacher and learn martial arts well before he came back. In fact, although my skills are limited, I can still teach him. What's more, you promised to teach him swordsmanship. The famous teacher is right in front of you, why bother to ask for it?" ? I think this is probably just an excuse for him. So I want to ask my niece Yuexian, has he told you about other reasons? Do you know where he is going?" Xiao Yuexian was surprised and regretted at the same time. Between surprise and regret, he was also somewhat annoyed, and said: "He ignored me yesterday, why would he tell me?" Hearing Xiao Yuexian's words, Shao Shudu felt relieved a little, and thought: "Sure enough, it's not what I expected. It's the young couple who vomit." Xiao Yuexian regretted it very much, and thought to himself: "He must have said a few words because of me that day. In fact, I didn't intend to provoke him. I can only blame him for being too caring." The Chen family's "glacier swordsmanship" is said to have been passed down by a Nepalese princess. This set of swordsmanship was enlightened from the criss-crossing glaciers on the Himalayas. The legends of martial arts say it is extremely magical.After Chen Guangshi, the second son of the Chen family, came, one day Xiao Yuexian and Shao Ziwei were practicing swords in Meilin, and it happened that Chen Guangshi was also strolling in Meilin and bumped into each other.Thinking of the legend, Xiao Yuexian couldn't help being curious, so he asked the Second Young Master Chen to practice Glacier swordsmanship to open their eyes.However, Chen Guangshi could not accept their repeated invitation, so he had no choice but to obey. When the glacier swordsmanship is deployed, it is indeed different from the swordsmanship of all schools and sects in the Central Plains. It is mysterious and unpredictable.After Xiao Yuexian saw it, she couldn't help admiring it.He Shao Ziwei said: "There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. These two old sayings are really true. I have always practiced martial arts with my mother, Uncle Shao and Brother Shao, and I admire them very much. I only know that the martial arts in the world are exhausted. Now I know I am a frog in a well." Shao Ziwei coughed lightly, and Xiao Yuexian suddenly realized that Shao Henian was beside her.It turned out that Shao Henian had already arrived, but because Xiao Yuexian was engrossed in the glacier sword technique, he didn't pay attention. Shao Henian didn't say anything, but Chen Guangshi was a little embarrassed, and said a few polite words at that time, admiring the martial arts of the Xiao and Shao families.The matter passed like this, Xiao Yuexian didn't take it to heart. Now that Xiao Yuexian heard Uncle Shao talk about the letter left by his son, he suddenly remembered what happened that day, and said to himself: "Uncle Shao thinks that Brother Shao left for another reason, only I know he is not lying. I hope He will have a great success because of this. He really visited a famous teacher and came back after learning a unique skill. Although I didn't feel angry with him, it can be regarded as helping him unintentionally." But she still didn't know that Shao Henian was not just for this matter. Shao Shudu had another idea, he thought that "the young couple vomited" was nothing but business, and Shao Henian would come back naturally when his anger subsided.However, father and son are closely related after all, and Shao Henian has no experience in the world. Now that he has run away from home, he is always worried, so he decided to go to his son and said: "Chen Tianyu's second son once visited us, I want to pay homage to him." He, by the way, inquire about the whereabouts of the dog. Chen Tianyu has a lot of friends, even if he doesn't know, he can ask his friends to do their best." Mrs. Xiao said: "It's my daughter's fault. I don't know how she offended He Nian and drove him away." Shao Shudu said with a smile: "Why do you have to be so serious about children's affairs? How do you know that it's not that the Year of the Crane is not good, and you offended Lingmei? Who cares who is right and wrong, I will ask him to come back and apologize to Lingmei. After I leave, I still have to ask Ling Ai is here to accompany the little girl." Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "You dote on her more than I do. Well, you can go to Chen's house without worry, I will never let her and Ziwei quarrel again." Xiao Yuexian pouted and said, "Mom, when you say that, it seems that I like to quarrel with people." Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Aren't you?" Shao Ziwei said: "Auntie, don't worry. We will never quarrel again in the future." She seemed to be very serious when she spoke.It turned out that because her brother heard about the quarrel with Xiao Yuexian yesterday, she regretted it very much afterwards. "I'm jealous of Miss Xiao and Chen Guangshi's friendship. I shouldn't have cursed out of my mouth. My brother left probably because he heard our quarrel." She thought. Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "This is the best. Okay, Xian'er, Uncle Shao is gone, so you can go and accompany Sister Wei. Shudu, I won't see you off." Shao Shudu said with a smile: "I am not traveling far this time. I will come back within seven days or ten days at most." It can be reached in two days. After Shao Shudu left, Xiao Yuexian also went to Shao's house, leaving only Mrs. Xiao and Yun Ziluo in the house. Mrs. Xiao said: "Ziluo, when you came yesterday, did you see them practicing swords in the plum forest?" Yun Ziluo said, "That's right." Mrs. Xiao said, "Are they arguing while practicing swords?" Yun Ziluo couldn't express their bickering words, so she said with a smile: "I was far away, so I couldn't hear what they said clearly. Soon, the man surnamed Lian came. But most young people are competitive, even if they quarrel It's nothing." Mrs. Xiao sighed suddenly, and said, "That's right, I'm worried that He Nian's departure this time is not because of Xian'er's quarrel with him!" The topic returned to the matter of Shao Henian's departure, Yun Ziluo was startled for a moment, not understanding what her aunt meant.Mrs. Xiao was thoughtful, and after a while, she said: "You used to be in Suzhou, not far from the Chen family, do you have any contacts?" Yun Ziluo said: "Uncle Song's family has contacts with the Chen family. My father never visited them before his death." Mrs. Xiao said: "You may have heard people from the Song family talk about this Second Young Master Chen. They heard that his literary talent and martial arts are very good. He has achieved success at a young age and is already quite famous in the world." Yun Ziluo said: "It has been eight years since I left Suzhou. Eight years ago, the Second Young Master Chen probably hadn't made his debut, so I didn't hear people from the Song family talk about it. But I saw him yesterday. Sincerely As my aunt said, this man's literary and martial arts are indeed very good." Yun Ziluo told her aunt about meeting Chen Guangshi and Miao Changfeng on the lake, and Madam Xiao said, "Both of them are outstanding men, especially this Second Young Master Chen, who is young and unmarried, is an ideal son-in-law for parents. Well, that's what I'm worried about—" Yun Ziluo said: "What is Aunt worried about?" Mrs. Xiao said: "You are not an outsider, so I might as well tell you what's on my mind. I'm worried that this second young master might be the cause of this turmoil." Yun Ziluo's heart skipped a beat, she thought, "Mr. Ruomu, the know daughter, could it be that my aunt already knows?" Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao said: "Shao Shudu was your uncle's best friend during his lifetime. I know that he invited Miao Changfeng and Chen Guangshi to his home this time because he wanted Miao Changfeng to be a matchmaker so that his daughter could get a good son-in-law." . "But after Mr. Chen Er came, I discovered something unexpected. This is Xian'er's attitude towards He Nian, which is quite different from before. "Although the two children used to quarrel, let's forget it. They will reconcile at most in a day or two. But the two of them haven't quarreled during the few days when Mr. Chen was in Shao's house." Yun Ziluo smiled and said, "Of course I'm too embarrassed to make noise in front of guests." Mrs. Xiao shook her head, and said: "Xian'er didn't quarrel with him, but she never mentioned him to me in those few days, but she often talked about this Second Young Master Chen, how amazing is the glacier sword technique, He can compose poems and draw pictures again, what did he talk to Ziwei, what did he talk to her, etc., etc. Alas, Ziluo, you are someone who has experienced it. In a situation like this, Presumably you should also understand." Yun Ziluo remained silent, thinking to herself: "Young couples are not afraid of quarreling, but are most afraid of being indifferent to each other. Auntie can be regarded as observant." Mrs. Xiao went on to say: "Mother is a wise girl, Yuexian is very active, likes novel things, and always rejoices in unrealistic fantasies. She and He Nian's temperaments are indeed a bit at odds, but she and that Second Young Master Chen's temperament is actually quite different, but she doesn't know it." Yun Ziluo thought to herself: "Auntie is quite knowledgeable, but it's a pity that she didn't treat Qi Jianye properly. Maybe it's because of personal grievances, so she can't observe people calmly." Mrs. Xiao sighed, and continued: "What I'm worried about is that this girl will fall in love with someone she shouldn't love, and she will hurt the heart of a good boy like He Nian, and the friendship between our two families will also be ruined by her. La." Yun Ziluo was silent for a while, then said: "Things between a man and a woman are very subtle. I didn't believe in the theory of pre-determined marriage, but now I believe it a little bit. In my opinion, the marriage of children should let them meet by chance. This kind of thing is really something that human beings cannot force." Mrs. Xiao said: "You're right, we have to let them go." At this point, she suddenly looked at Yun Ziluo and smiled slightly, and then said: "But when it comes to the word 'marriage', Ziluo, you Don't be surprised, I want to say a few intimate words to you." Yun Ziluo was startled, and said: "I am a survivor, how can I talk about the word marriage?" Mrs. Xiao said: "You are no better than me. You have become a widow at a young age. In your situation, I think that if you find a suitable person, it is better to remarry." Yun Ziluo blushed immediately, and said, "Auntie, why are you saying this? I still have a piece of meat from the Yang family in my stomach!" Mrs. Xiao said solemnly: "It seems that I shouldn't say the words of theory, but this 'reason' is the 'reason' of the world, and the 'ritual' of the corrupt Confucianism, so it may not be regarded as the golden rule." "Let's talk about secular views first. Everyone takes it as a matter of course for the husband to remarry when the wife dies. It is a matter of course, and no one will blame the husband. Then why can't the wife remarry after the husband dies?" "Let's talk about Confucian etiquette. In fact, the so-called 'starving to death is a small matter, but injustice is a major matter' was only advocated in the Song Dynasty. Before the Song Dynasty, ordinary Confucian scholars did not think it was a big treason. In the Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru married Zhuo Wenjun, it has been passed down through the ages as a good job. Even the empresses of the Tang Dynasty had remarried widows." "Even in the most courteous Song Dynasty, people who really read the book believed that it was in accordance with the laws of heaven and human nature for young widows to remarry. Wang Jinggong (An Shi)'s son died, and he decided to marry his wife out, just like ordinary people. A well-known story. Therefore, "a husband who dies and a wife does not marry again" is a "reason" that has changed from a "ritual" established by rotten Confucians to a "reason" that is followed by the world. This "reason" is actually unreasonable." "What's more, you are originally from the martial arts world, and you don't need to stick to worldly views." Yun Ziluo was fascinated by the sound, and smiled unconsciously: "Unexpectedly, it caused a lot of discussion from my aunt. But, but—" In fact, the reason why Yun Ziluo didn't want to remarry was not that she wanted to obey the "law of etiquette", but Madam Xiao didn't know what was on her mind. She heard her say "but" twice, so she interrupted her, and continued: "But what? I know you have a piece of meat from the Yang family in your belly, but that's why I persuade you to remarry. “你今年不过二十多岁，这个遗腹子还要你抚养十多二十年方得成人。如今你是无依无靠，只有我一个亲人。我是五十开外的人了，也不知还能伴你几年？再说，纵使你有亲人依靠，也总不如自己有一个家。到了老年，也有个老伴儿共慰寂寥。”说至此处，勾起丧夫之痛，不觉眼眶红了。 云紫萝道：“多谢姨妈关心，但我已是心如槁木，根本就没有再嫁的念头了。” 萧夫人说道：“当然我说的人一定得要合你心意。我不勉强你，但你听我说说，又有何妨？” 云紫萝只好默不作声，萧夫人便继续说道：“这个人不但是文学武功，两皆出色，更难得的是他胸襟气度，超迈俗流，当真称得上是个大大夫、真豪杰！” 云紫萝笑道：“姨妈这样盛赞此人，想必是不会错的了。但可惜我——” 萧夫人道：“你要知道这个人是谁吗？这个人就是你曾经见过的那个缪长风！”
