auspicious time has come

Chapter 163

"Among several Shangshu lords, only Ma Shangshu is Fan Yang's ancestral home, so it's not difficult to guess." Heng Yu smiled and said: "Furthermore, I am a good friend with Ma Jia Dalang, and I heard him mention it by chance when I was last year. It is said that next spring will pick up a younger sister to Beijing."

The woman was surprised and quickly understood: "So that's how it is..."

Looking at Hengyu again, he became even more friendly.

"Sister actually recognizes my elder brother? And is he a good friend?" The girl was a little surprised, a little curious: "Elder brother, did he actually mention my going to Beijing? What is he like?"

Her elder brother is the eldest son of her father's main family. She is more than five years older than her. As far as she can remember, she has only seen him once - one year when her father went to Fanyang to worship the ancestors, he went with him. Only five or six years old.

After that, his father's official position became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more busy, so he seldom went back to Fan Yang in person.

Because of this, when she came to this strange place in the capital this time, the girl inevitably felt a little uneasy when she thought of facing those "family members" who had never gotten along with each other.

Those so-called "father will sell her for a price" are also caused by these worries.

"Your elder brother is a man with broad interests and a casual temperament, and you have five points of similarity to his eyebrows." Heng Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, you brothers and sisters must get along well."

She said, looking at the wooden sword held in the girl's arms, and said: "The Ma family's family style has never been rigid. Although Mrs. Shang Shu seldom interacts with people, she is not as cold and arrogant as the rumors say, but Because of the frailty, and because in recent years, most of them have closed their doors to worship the Buddha and cultivate their minds, some people have repeatedly committed crimes and failed to cling to them, so some rumors have gradually spread, which cannot be true."

Is that so?

Hearing these words, the girl's feeling of rejection of going to Beijing was greatly relieved.

There was also a smile on the woman's eyebrows and eyes, as if she was finally relieved, and she bowed gratefully: "Thank you for letting me know."

"You're welcome, just chatting casually."

"I don't know what my sister's last name is?" the girl asked expectantly.

Hengyu smiled: "My family name is Ji, and my name is Hengyu."

"Sister's name is so nice!" The girl's eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile: "My name is Ma Yingliu, and this is my aunt, surnamed Feng!"

Heng Yu then nodded.

"Sister and this gentleman, are you going back to the capital too?" the girl asked immediately.

Seeing Hengyu nodding, the girl asked, "Then...after I get to the capital, can I go and play with my sister?"

"Naturally." Heng Yu said with a smile, "Brother Ni will take you with him then."

The girl quickly nodded happily, but couldn't help being excited, she raised her face and asked Hengyu: "If Sister Ji opens an academy in the future, she will definitely teach books other than the morals of women, right?"

Heng Yu said slowly: "What men read and study, women can also learn in the future."

"Really!" The girl almost jumped up excitedly.

Heng Yu nodded seriously: "Women should not study prose just to cater to the wind and the moon, complain about the grievances of the boudoir, add fragrance to other people's red sleeves, or use it to manipulate stereotypes such as rewards-reading is enlightenment , for understanding, first think for yourself and then for the world.”

The girl was stunned when she heard it again, she just felt that she was in a vast river and sea, and she didn't know where the edge was.

"But...what do girls learn?" The woman beside the woman was also fascinated by what she heard, and couldn't help asking at this time: "Women can't take scientific examinations to become officials...what's the use of learning it?" ?”

"Women are not allowed to take scientific examinations nowadays, but what about the daughters of these women, their daughters' daughters? Since our generation, the torch has been passed down from generation to generation, and the old system will eventually change." The girl's voice was soft. Calm down.

"Sister is right...Someone must open the way!" The girl's eyes were red with excitement, but her expression was extremely excited.

She suddenly felt that she was participating in planning an earth-shattering event!business!
The woman looked at Hengyu, a little lost.

What she heard today was something she had never heard before.

The shock in her heart was no less than that of her daughter.

Or because of her limited knowledge, she felt that the little girl was somewhat whimsical—women's status is low, and it has been like this for thousands of years. How can this road be so easy?

But, no matter what, even if you hit your head and bleed, it's better than a pool of stagnant water like them.

A stagnant pool means that change is never possible.

And these little girls who are willing to open this way, willing to try and make mistakes, and willing to hit their heads with blood, although they seem a bit idiotic, they are undoubtedly worthy of admiration.

There must always be someone who dares to dream, and even dare not dream, so why talk about other things.

She doesn't know much, but she can read some characters, and no one talks to her. If someone explains the truth to her in detail, she can still understand and can barely distinguish good from bad.

The woman smiled a little ashamedly, and whispered: "I can't help much... I can only burn incense and pray that Miss Ji will get her wish as soon as possible."

"My aunt can't help, don't throw my sword and burn my book to help..." Ma Yingliu whispered beside her.

The woman gave her a helpless look.

Seeing this, Heng Yu smiled and said, "I won't bother you anymore."

Ma Yingliu hurriedly blessed her body, eyes bent and said: "Sister, let's see you when we return to Beijing."

Heng Yu nodded and left with Xiao Mu.

Seeing the two figures walking away, the woman said, "Go back."

Ma Yingliu suddenly raised her mouth in dissatisfaction: "Is my aunt still not allowing me to practice swords? Sister Ji has said that my father, mother and elder brother are not so rigid. You are too worrying!"

"I..." The woman sighed: "You don't even have breakfast this morning, you have to be full to have the strength to toss around, right? Go back to eat first."

Only then did the girl smile and took the woman's arm: "Thank you, Auntie!"

The woman suddenly felt a little emotional.

It's been a long time since my daughter has been so close to her...

She had also reflected on whether she had overcorrected before, but she really didn't know what to do, and she was very afraid that her daughter would grow up to be a strange person in the eyes of others, and her whole life would be ruined.

But the girl's words just now seemed to be a reassurance, which finally gave her some peace of mind.

People really want to read books to be rational and enlightened. If you can't find the answer yourself, the truth you learn will tell you.

And with the support of the answer, people can be a little calmer in this noisy world.

The woman was thinking all the way, as if she had never thought like this before.

The little girl's words seemed to be still echoing in her ears, she spoke slowly, but with a power that lasted for a long time.

"Speaking of which, the girl said her surname is Ji, and her name is Ji Hengyu...Why does this old servant feel familiar?" The woman beside the woman said thoughtfully.

"Mommy has never been to the capital, why does it sound familiar?" the girl asked.

"Ah, this old slave remembered!" The woman's face was bright for a moment: "This morning when it was just dawn, the people in the posthouse secretly said that the girl from the Ji family is here... and that the son-in-law in the capital is here. We purposely found this place to welcome her back to Beijing!"

"Tong, Tong's son-in-law?" The woman was shocked.

Is the ethos in the capital so open and inclusive?

Or is this girl unique?
Ma Yingliu was also dumbfounded, but the admiration in his eyes became more and more intense, and he couldn't help guessing: "The son-in-law...could be the gentleman just now!"

"The old slave looks alike too. He said that he looks particularly handsome, but he matches..." The woman suddenly said, "I said, no wonder you are so quiet and obedient, you dare not speak when you stand there!"

The corners of Lan Qing's mouth twitched before she could go far in the dark.

His family's husband probably wants to, but it's a pity that he can't make it.

"Why didn't Lord Hou speak just now?" Heng Yu asked casually as he walked through the bamboo forest.

"Your words are eloquent and thought-provoking. I just have to listen and learn." Xiao Mu's tone was as casual as usual when he was arguing with her, but it didn't contain the slightest sense of humor.

"I also think I talk too much." Heng Yu smiled, looked forward and said: "Actually, I'm not a talkative person who likes to preach—"

"Well, I know." Out of the bamboo forest, there is a long and narrow path, with peach tree branches and leaves stretching on both sides of the road, Xiao Mu walked half a step in front of Hengyu, raised his left hand while speaking, and pushed a branch in front of her to block the way peach blossom——

"The voices of women in this world are seldom heard by others. When you meet people who are saveable in your eyes and people who can go with you, talking to them is doing good deeds and paving the way for you to walk in the future. "

His voice was very gentle, Heng Yu lowered her head slightly, and avoided the peach blossom branches pushed aside by him from under his arms, the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly curved.

"You know me too." She sighed jokingly, "You always know what I'm thinking and what I want to do."

There was a hint of a smile in Xiao Mu's eyes: "Didn't you say before that you and I are walking together, and this way is not alone? If you don't even have this awareness, how can you be your companion——"

"Yes, Master Hou once promised that he would help me fund the establishment of a girls' school in the future."

Xiao Mu slightly turned his head and lowered his eyes to look at her, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this Marquis a scourge?"

He was referring to the phrase "Are all men in the world are scourges" that she talked about with Feng Shi——

Heng Yu also looked at him, her eyes met, and the girl's cheeks and eyes were full of smiles: "In truth, Lord Hou should be the auspicious beast of the town house to save the world."

What does this say?
Xiao Mu looked at her amusedly: "Why, when you open a women's school in the future, will Benhou want to squat in front of your academy door and be a stone lion?"

"Then how dare you trouble me? At that time, I will erect a monument of merit and virtue for Master Hou in the academy. On it, it is written that in a certain month of a certain year, Xiao Jieshi contributed to the establishment of this school. The merits and virtues are far-reaching, and should be remembered by future generations. , will be enshrined with incense forever..." Heng Yu thought seriously.

Xiao Mu laughed, "Thank you so much."

The breeze filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms blew, and the two walked forward in unison.

"But I'm a little curious." Walking out of the path full of peach petals, Xiao Mu asked, "Are you worried that what you say is too deep and will be misunderstood by others?"

"Don't say that you misinterpreted—" Heng Yu said: "Even myself, when I wake up today, I often feel that there are many deficiencies in what I said yesterday, as if my brain is flooded. People are always changing and moving forward, but You can’t just keep silent because your thoughts are not yet perfect, so you can’t just keep silent? Wouldn’t you be dumb for the rest of your life?”

"I personally think that in this situation, the meaning of speaking out should be that even if you are misunderstood, as long as you speak out, right or wrong, right and wrong, whether there is a collision or a dispute, it can always attract people. Thinking." Heng Yu said seriously: "Thinking is the only way to make progress, to brainstorm, and then to correct and improve, right?"

Xiao Mu nodded, not hiding the approval or even teaching in his eyes: "It makes sense."

After a while, he said, "I'm also very curious about one more thing."

"Just talk about it." Heng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him, as if he was ready to discuss academics and philosophy of life with him.

"You have a close relationship with Mr. Ma Shangshu's master?"

Heng Yu was a little caught off guard—why did you ask this all of a sudden?

"There is such a thing." She came back to her senses and replied: "We often play cuju together, so it can be considered that we don't know each other on the cuju field."

"Is this person good at kicking Cuju?" Xiao Mu asked indifferently.

"A few years ago, he led the formation of a dozen or so officials' children, and formed a team, which is considered to be the best Cuju team in Jingzhong Langjun in the past two years." Heng Yu said: "Last year, there were more than ten Cuju teams throughout the year. Every game has been undefeated, and every game has been very exciting.”

Xiao Mu let out an "oh".

Hengyu suddenly remembered something and looked at him: "Master Hou also loved Cuju when he was young, right?"

Although she had never met him when she was young, she had heard his name many times—she also had a slight impression of the youthful and vigorous deeds of the young general of the Shi family.

"Just kick it casually." Xiao Mu said with his hands behind his back.

Hengyu let out a "tch", this stinky fart's expression didn't look like "kick it casually".

"Then when I have a chance in the future, I will ask Ma Wenzhe out privately. How about we discuss each other?" She pretended to be provocative.

Xiao Mu: "This Marquis doesn't bully children. It would be troublesome to go back and find the adults at home to file a complaint after kicking and crying."

"I don't know who is crying. Master Hou is afraid that if he loses, his invincible reputation will be ruined in one fell swoop, right?"

"You're overthinking it. Someone who can beat me in Cuju may not have been born yet."

"..."

The two of you said one sentence to each other, and walked into the study.

Lan Qing listened all the way, only to feel that her husband is somewhat naive.

But in this childishness, there seems to be some traces of youth.

"What do you want to tell me?" Xiao Mu went into the study and sat down, then asked Heng Yu.

Hengyu sat opposite him across the table: "I'm not in a hurry, Master Hou will talk about it first."

Xiao Mu didn't delay: "Last night, when Yan Ming and Doctor Bai went out for a walk, they discovered that someone secretly paid a lot of money to seek medical treatment in the city."

As for why the "secret" medical treatment was still discovered by the two of Yan Ming, it is natural that the doctor has his own way of the doctor. Since he is seeking a doctor, he must spread the news among the doctors.

"Secretly?" Heng Yu looked at Xiao Mu, lowered his voice and asked, "People in the palace?"

Since he mentioned it on purpose, it will not be an idle matter.

Xiao Mu nodded: "The disease that needs to be cured is very consistent with the disease of the saint mentioned in the previous secret letter by His Royal Highness the Princess."

Heng Yu thought about it and said: "I have already sought medical treatment among the people, so it seems that the medical officers in the palace must be helpless..."

As he spoke, he asked, "Did Grandpa Bai say that there is a way to cure each other?"

Don't say whether it can be cured or not, you have to ask whether it can be cured.
