In myths and legends, the ancestors of Dajin and tortoiseshell were two pairs of brothers. Because of disagreement, the two brothers moved their families, one to the east and the other to the west, and never saw each other again. As their descendants grew more and more, they lived more and more, and gradually formed two countries.
After several dynasties, these two countries are now Dajin and Tortoiseshell.
There are two versions of this ancient legend. In the version of Da Jin, the elder brother was suspicious and greedy, and finally went to the place where the tortoiseshell country is located. In the tortoiseshell version, the younger brother is cowardly and incompetent, as timid as a mouse, and finally this younger brother went to the place where the Dajin territory is located.
The literati of the two countries also often wrote poems to elevate their own ancestors, while burying the ancestors of the other side by the way. In some folk dramas, this story is often adapted and sung.
But no matter how secretly the people of the two countries slandered each other, the literati of the tortoiseshell country have a faint sense of superiority in their hearts, because they feel that they have a higher status in the country and speak more prestige.
These tortoiseshell scholars, who had long been accustomed to eloquent speeches, came to Dajin and found that the scholars of Dajin really had little momentum and status.
At the food stall, farmers and scholars can sit at the same table. Even in the teahouses and pubs, these scholars are quiet, and they are not seen gathering together to write poems and couplets. They really don't have the character of scholars.
After several inquiries, they learned that this teahouse was a favorite place for literati in the capital, and the three of them rushed over here on purpose. I don't know that this teahouse is not much different from other teahouses except that it is quieter and has more readers.
They are both scholars. They are ashamed of the weakness and mediocrity of the scholars in Dajin. However, this is the boundary of Dajin. They don't want to say that the scholars are bad, so they can only complain about women.
Who knew that they just said a few words at random, and those scholars in Dajin who seemed to be mediocre and easy to bully, unexpectedly clapped the table and stood up.
"The mother who gave birth to me is naturally a woman." The elderly man, surnamed Liu, was a famous scholar in the tortoiseshell country. Because he was very famous among scholars, he also served as the teacher of the prince of the tortoiseshell country.
Liu Mingshi arrogantly bowed his hands to the scholar who patted the table: "I don't know what this little brother thinks?"
"You can't talk about high opinion." The scholar wearing a green shirt said neither humble nor arrogant, "Since the old gentleman knows that the person who gave you flesh and blood is a woman, why does he look down on women so much in his words?"
"It is a woman's nature to have children, so what does it have to do with what the old man said?" Liu Mingshi said, "Men are yang, women are yin. If a woman does what a man does, then the yin and yang will be reversed, and sooner or later, it will lead to chaos in the world. ."
"Sir, it doesn't look like I'm from Dajin?" The scholar in green shirt asked with a half-smile, "I don't know which country the master is from?"
"The old man is not talented, he is the young master of the crown prince of the tortoise shell country." Liu Mingshi said his identity reservedly.
"No wonder, it turned out to be a person from the tortoiseshell country." The scholar in green shirt smiled even brighter, "I'm different from your country, I won't cause chaos in the world because of women's actions. There is nothing wrong with the people living and working in peace and contentment.”
"Women should stay in the back house to manage the housework, have children, and show themselves outside all day?" Liu Mingshi didn't expect Qingshan scholar to choke people with such words. In all fairness, Dajin is indeed more prosperous than tortoiseshell. But no matter how prosperous it is, what is the use of a country without rules, looking at it makes people feel smoky.
"Oh." The Qingshan scholar suddenly realized, "I didn't know why you were so dissatisfied with my Dajin woman, but now I understand a little bit."
"Why?" some other Dajin scholars shouted and asked.
"Yes, tell us now."
"Of course it's jealousy." The scholar in green shirt shook his head and said, "I'm a Dajin girl, Wen Neng writes poetry and painting, Wu Neng lifts the whip, and with such a good girl, our Dajin men can live easily. Your country The son-in-law does not have such a blessing, and when he comes to our Dajin, he is naturally uncomfortable everywhere, and I wish we could live the same life as them."
"So it is." Another blue-shirted scholar heard the words, shook his head and sighed: "Although the three are not from our great Jin Dynasty, they are also scholars, so be open-minded and don't feel jealous when others are doing well. As the saying goes Well, jealousy makes people ugly. If you envy my Dajin son-in-law, you can marry me Dajin girls. Although you look a little ordinary, we Dajin girls don’t like to judge people by their appearance, and maybe someone will take a fancy to them. what about you."
"Nonsense!" Liu Mingshi's lips trembled with anger at these words, "It's absurd to let a woman be so arrogant and not be ashamed. It's ridiculous to be proud of it."
"The three are ridiculous, don't you have mothers, sisters and daughters?" The blue shirt scholar sneered, "Seeing that mothers and daughters are inferior, but do not seek change, thinking that this is the right person is ridiculous. "
"When you said these words, did you ever think about the women in your family?" The scholar in green shirt followed, "Those who don't protect their mothers are unfilial. Those who don't protect their children are unkind. People like you are unfilial. The unkind people, don't talk to us about the yin and yang world, I am ashamed by you."
"You are relying on the number of people, but you are only relying on the speed of your tongue." Liu Mingshi was swayed by these scholars and was unable to retaliate. The other two literati wanted to help Liu Mingshi speak, but they were scolded by these scholars with their heads pressed, so that they began to doubt their life and wanted to hide their faces and escape.
What's going on with these Dajin scholars, each one seems to be gentler than the other, and they don't dare to speak too loudly outside, yet they scold people so fiercely
"What's wrong with my female general in Dajin? She protects her family and protects the country. The enemy is not even half afraid in front of her. What does it have to do with you?"
"Since you look down on our female general, you go to the gate of the Hou's mansion to yell and scold, and we will never stop you."
"No, you are a dignified man. If you can't look at anyone and yell at you, we can respect you as a man. The three self-proclaimed scholars don't even understand the truth behind other people's right and wrong. It's embarrassing. Self-proclaimed scholar?" The speaker looked contemptuous, as if saying "Go away, there is no traitor like you among us scholars", with a very vivid expression.
Liu Ming's morale was extremely high, and it took a long time before he said, "You and other incompetent people can only be running dogs under women's skirts!"
"I want to be a running dog under General Wei's skirt, but it's a pity that General Wei doesn't look down on me."
provoke
Dajin scholars turned their heads to look at the speaker, an old gentleman sitting in the corner.
"Look at what, who didn't have a dream fairy when they were young?" The old scholar said with a blushing face, "When General Wei was young, he was the number one beauty in the capital."
"Sir, you are quite sincere." The blue shirt scholar said, "It's okay to think about it in a dream."
The students burst into laughter. They knew that the "honesty" in the words of the blue shirt scholar meant that General Wei did not look down on the old gentleman. The old gentleman was also angry, but instead said with emotion: "Whether it is a man or a woman, it is not all people. The old man doesn't understand why the three are obsessed with the distinction between men and women, but in the old man's view, General Wei defended the people's army of enemies. Even when he was pregnant, he knew that Dajin needed her and the people needed her. Rushed to the battlefield. If I, the people of Dajin, point fingers at her because she is a woman, it would be ungrateful. A hero is a hero, why should there be a distinction between men and women?"
"The one who gave birth to you, and the one who raised you and you, is also the woman in your mouth." The old gentleman sneered, "Since you look down on women, please kill your life quickly, and don't let the body born of this woman stain your noble body. soul."
"The old gentleman said it well." The scholars coaxed, "I think what the three said is very reasonable, but we are greedy for life and fear of death, and I think it is good now. The three positions are so clear, it is better to lead by example and end our lives. Are we a role model?"
"please."
"Please do it quickly, we will not stop it."
"You, you..." Liu Mingshi said with a pale face, "You just don't know what it means."
After he finished speaking, he raised his sleeve robe, covered his face and hurriedly left the teahouse amid the laughter of the crowd. When the two people who came with him saw him run away, they hurriedly followed. Because they ran too fast, they stepped on the corner of the robe, and they rolled twice on the ground.
With such an embarrassed appearance, I really can't see the elegance of a scholar.
"What kind of shit, General Wei is also worthy of them." Yao Wenyin's lungs were about to explode. If Yao Songbai had not held her tightly, she would have picked up the tea cup by the table and smashed it.
"Sister, His Royal Highness is still here, please calm down." Yao Songbai whispered in Yao Wenyin's ear, "Let's save some face, okay?"
Yao Wenyin, who was too angry, remembered that the prince was still there, she put the teacup back up again, and laughed twice. When she turned her head and saw that Hua Liuli's face was not angry at all, she couldn't help but ask, "Those three bastards said that General Wei, as the daughter of the general, aren't you angry?"
Hearing the words "dog thing", Yao Songbai's expression was a little stiff, and he no longer dared to look at the prince's expression.
"Why are you angry?" Hua Liuli smiled, "I am not only not angry, but also very happy."
"Is there something wrong with your brain, others slander your mother, you still..."
Yao Songbai stretched out his hand to cover his sister's mouth, smiled at Hua Liuli and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, my sister drank too much tea, her brain is not very clear."
Yao Wenyin: "..."
She has no problem with drunken tea.
"Mother guards the people of Dajin, and the people of Dajin remember her well, isn't it a good thing?" Hua Liuli glanced at the scholars who protected her mother, her eyes were very gentle.
This time, when the scholars ran against the literati of the tortoiseshell country, they were as menacing as tigers coming out of the mountains. Now people scolded him away, and he regained the appearance of a gentle kitten, playing chess, drinking tea, and sighing bitterly why General Wei wanted to get married, so that he could not be the guest of honor.
Who would have thought that these handsome and talkative scholars could be fiercer than each other when defending their own people
Yao Wenyin was stunned, the anger in her heart disappeared instantly, and she blushed awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"I know that Miss Yao is well-intentioned, so how can I be angry with you." Hua Liuli smiled softly, very understanding.
Yao Songbai, who was sitting next to him, sighed secretly, if his younger sister could be as gentle and quiet as the Princess Fushou, the family would be able to worry less.
Noticing Yao Songbai's look at Hua Liuli, the prince said, "It's getting late, so it's time to send the princess home."
Hearing that the prince was leaving, the Yao brothers and sisters did not dare to stay for long, so they quickly got up and went downstairs with the prince.
Yao Wenyin wronged Hua Liuli, and felt a little awkward. Even when she was walking, she was a little uneasy, slipping on her feet, and she was about to fall down the stairs.
"Miss Yao, be careful." Hua Liuli stretched her arms around Yao Wenyin's waist in the blink of an eye, "Falling from here is very dangerous."
Lying on Hua Liuli's chest, Yao Wenyin was a little stunned, and when she smelled the faint fragrance on Hua Liuli's body, she realized what just happened.
"Sister, are you alright?" Yao Songbai's face turned pale with fright. Rolling up such a high staircase was no small matter.
"I'm fine." Yao Wenyin remembered that Hua Liuli was not in good health, and carefully withdrew from her arms, "Hua, Hua Liuli, are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine." As soon as the voice fell, Hua Liuli coughed violently, and the maid brought pills to feed her to eat, and she slowly recovered.
Seeing her like this, Yao Wenyin felt even more ashamed. If Hua Liuli hadn't stabilized her just now, it is possible that the two of them would fall together. She is strong and strong, and can be raised for up to three or five months after a fall. If Hua Liuli was thrown like this...
She secretly glanced at Hua Liuli, blushed and whispered, "Thank you."
"It's just an effort, Miss Yao doesn't need to be polite." Hua Liuli smiled softly.
Seeing this gentle and tolerant smile, Yao Wenyin's face turned even redder. Her conscience began to blame herself. Although Hua Liuli occasionally said something irritating, she didn't do anything excessive to her, and even when she was in danger, she did not care about her own safety to save her.
What's more, at the beginning, it was Hua Liuli who provoke her.
After thinking about this, when she looked at Hua Liuli again, Yao Wenyin felt that although she was weak, she was as beautiful as the moon, and although her words were irritating, she was kind and generous.
He is such a good person, how can he keep getting along with her
The prince glanced at Yao Wenyin, stretched out his hand to support Hua Liuli's arm: "Liu Li, pay attention to your feet."
Yao Wenyin took a step back silently, she always felt that there was something wrong with the way His Royal Highness looked at her.
He heard that when General Wei was young, he was not only the dream lover of many Erlang, but also many girls crying and wanting to stay by her side and be her good sister.
How could he forget that Liuli is the daughter of General Wei, so she is naturally better than blue.
In today's world, not only men can't reassure him, but women too.
