Xu Jie was puzzled.
This classmate he knew was not someone who would easily accept his fate. He had a very strong desire to win and would not easily admit defeat to anyone. Why would he say "Just accept it" now, such a dejected statement that would wear down his will? Until -
Xu Jie accidentally saw a young man hugging and laughing with another scholar who was much taller than him at a rockery.
This intimate gesture—
It's a bit forced to call it brotherhood.
Xu Jie was so shocked that his breath leaked out and was discovered by the strange scholar. He had no choice but to come out.
On second thought, I realized I was making a fuss out of nothing.
Although it cannot be said that homosexuality is prevalent at the moment, it is not strange at all - he has heard of someone being very close to someone else, but he has never seen it with his own eyes. Just as he was thinking about how to start talking to ease the embarrassment, he saw the young man holding the latter's hand and introducing him.
Xingning, let me introduce you to each other.
Compared to the young man's enthusiasm, the scholar called "Xingning" was not enthusiastic, and even looked at him with a bit of displeasure. Xu Jie only felt that this word sounded familiar, and the next moment he found the relevant memory, as if struck by lightning.
The son of the banquet master, it seems to be this word
so-
He stared at the two of them, unable to utter a word for a long while—did Master Yan know that his most proud disciple and his most precious son were having an affair? He probably didn't know, right
If he knew, given the banquet master's personality, he would be furious.
The young man didn't look at Xu Jie's "colorful" face, and said to the scholar in a soft, sweet tone that Xu Jie had never heard of: Wen Zhu has been delayed a lot because of his background, but if he goes all out, in my opinion, he can be a strong rival of Xingning.
Yan An lowered his eyes and looked at the other person.
He asked calmly: What kind of powerful enemy
The young man was stuck for a moment, but Xu Jie subtly understood the sourness behind these four short words, and quickly waved his hands and said: I treat Senior Brother Ning like a brother, and I don't have any inappropriate thoughts in my mind.
I get goosebumps just thinking about that scene.
The boy was stunned.
Look at Yan An and then look at the embarrassed Xu Jie.
He gritted his teeth in shame and anger, raised his hand and punched Yan An in the chest twice.
Not satisfied with this, he kicked him twice on tiptoe and threatened in a low voice: Yan Xingning, be careful or I will tell on you!
Xu Jie was stunned.
So the affair between these two people was tacitly approved by the banquet master
Xu Jie returned to his room in a daze that day, fell asleep in a daze, and then received an invitation from the boy to go boating on the lake the next day. He hesitated whether to go to the appointment - not because he knew that the boy and Yan An were very close and deliberately distanced himself, but because Yan An looked like a person who was not easy to mess with, and he was worried that he would be tricked by him. But when the appointed time came, Xu Jie still went as scheduled.
As a result, the young man didn't see it, but he saw a lady in a lotus-colored dress, with the most popular bun and seasonal flowers adorning her hair. Although these flowers were bright, they were not even one ten-thousandth as colorful as the girl's eyes.
The most important thing is that the face of this girl is exactly the same as that of Senior Brother Ning that he knew!!!
Xu Jie stood on the deck, petrified.
Wenzhu, why don’t you come in
The young lady smiled sweetly and waved at him.
Behind her, there was a touch of emerald green robe.
It was Yan An, whom he had met before.
He said: I guess I was scared by you.
The girl raised her eyebrows and asked: Am I so ugly
Yan An has a desire to survive: he must be like a god.
The girl twisted her handkerchief to hide her smile, but her eyes, which were curved into crescents due to her smile, betrayed her true feelings.
That's not bad.
Xu Jie: …
His whole state is -
who I am
Where am I
What am I doing
After struggling to digest this big news, he finally realized that it was not Senior Brother Ning but Senior Sister Ning. He actually saw the real-life version of a story about a woman disguising herself as a man to study in an academy.
Having read the Yan Ling storybook "Liang Zhu", he was impressed.
Unlike "Liang Zhu", there is no class difference between Yan An and Senior Sister Ning. The two are well matched, and they met when they were young, so the two families have already had an engagement. However, Senior Sister Ning does not want to get married too early, nor does she want to be confined to the narrow backyard, looking at the unchanging sky all year round, and is entangled in wanting to go out to study and practice.
When the banquet master learned about this, he took the initiative to arrange for his future daughter-in-law to dress up as a man and study under him. Having him take care of her would save a lot of trouble. But when he actually taught her, he found that this girl was very smart, but she was limited by her daughter's body...
If he were a man, he might have achieved something.
Xu Jie listened to the story silently, and couldn't help but wandering in his mind. In terms of character and family, Yan Xingning is more like Ma Wencai, so who is Liang Shanbo? After thinking about it, his expression stiffened.
Uh... Liang Shanbo is actually himself
It seems that I can understand Yan An’s hostility yesterday.
_(:з)∠?)_
Xu Jie was not a conservative person. He studied literature and business. As the eldest son of the Xu family, he learned to take over the family business early. What kind of people had he not seen? Although Senior Sister Ning's behavior was "unconventional", it was not unacceptable to him. As for the strict rules between men and women? He made friends with the other party with sincerity. If he alienated himself because of the relationship between men and women, it would be narrow-minded.
At this point, I understand why the other party would accept his fate.
The body of a woman...
How can you not accept your fate
Xu Jie felt sorry for her.
He studied under Master Yan for two years and then left. Not long after, he received an invitation to their wedding, but he was doing business in Shiwu at the time and was unable to return in time for the appointment. After that, the world became more chaotic. Xin State was in turmoil, and Geng State was eyeing it covetously.
The two countries were at war, and the fighting continued.
When I tried to contact them again, my letters fell into oblivion.
The next time we meet is now.
Xu Jie looked at her current appearance and felt very sad. He couldn't help but blame Yan An. However, when he asked about Yan An's death, this little emotion disappeared. No one can be blamed for this matter. The person who is most qualified to blame is -
She did not complain: "Xingning and I share the same moral principles. If it is for the sake of the people of the world, I can sacrifice my life without any complaints or regrets..."
He is not only the person she loves, but also her best friend!
The crises of Shiwu and Beimo, which Xu Jie had been worried about before, were also resolved. She said: "The layout of Xingning is complete. For at least five years, the two border barriers can still survive..."
As for what will happen after these few years
That was no longer something Yan An could do.
Xu Jie was shocked when he heard this.
"Then Zheng Qiao really gave him to—"
Xu Jie had met Zheng Qiao before. At that time, Zheng Qiao was not yet a king, nor was he known for his violence. He could even be considered "weak and vulnerable". Because of his status as a hostage, he was often bullied by other students from noble families.
I have seen it, but I don’t understand it.
Judging from Zheng Qiao's behavior over the years, the other party may have held a grudge since he was young, and his weakness was just a disguise for self-protection. However, Yan An never bullied him and treated him as well as his own brother, but ended up with a torn corpse - Xu Jie caught a glimpse of the boy who looked very similar to the young Zheng Qiao, and his mouth twitched slightly.
I don’t understand what Senior Sister Ning is planning.
Wouldn't you be angry looking at the face of the enemy who killed your husband
Boy: “…”
