Chapter 113 But I’m not very good at it either
It was already the third moment of Haizheng when we came out of the eldest princess Zhao Huan's house.
After politely declining Zhao Huan's request to send him a car, Song Yu strolled alone on the streets of Lin'an City at night, which were not deserted.
Except for the area where the Princess Mansion is located, there are relatively few people. Once you reach the main street, various night markets are brightly lit and crowded.
He had just had a meal with the eldest princess. Although Zhao Huan behaved very calmly during the dinner, Song Yu still noticed that she was a very strong woman at heart.
I have some opinions on the three requirements of the government.
It has little to do with interests, mainly because I don't like to do things arranged by others.
Fortunately, she only expressed it in a very subtle way and did not really object.
Zhao Huan has extremely strong personal abilities and has unique insights into many things, some of which even transcend this era.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that she was born in a royal family and was very favored since she was a child.
The official family did not generally favor the eldest princess. Zhao Huan told Song Yu that the official family had rejected marriage proposals from Northern Qi three times.
Is the official family of the "Emperor" who dare not go to the Northern Expedition so strong?
Song Yu was somewhat incredulous after hearing this.
Zhao Huan had a very good impression of Song Yu. His handsome appearance was just one aspect, and she did not value this.
Faced with Tianhuang Guizhou's neither humble nor arrogant behavior, and his conversation that can make her eyes shine at any time, this is the real reason why Zhao Huan admires him.
Just appreciate it.
This is a woman with independent thoughts and quite rationality.
Even if he invited Song Yu to his house, it would be just the two of them for the whole meal, and there would be no ambiguous atmosphere.
Song Yu quite liked this way of getting along.
Walking on the street, the soft night breeze blows, and I feel very comfortable.
Since arriving in Lin'an Mansion, he has never really visited the city seriously.
The bustling night scene, the endless flow of people, and the smoke and smoke that spanned thousands of years gradually drifted into his soul in future generations.
I casually bought a bunch of different types of snacks from a food stall at night, carried them in my hands, and walked home.
"I should learn to ride a horse. Although I don't feel tired when I walk now, the distance is still a bit far, and it's not easy to 'fly' back using Qing Kung in public. Having a good horse can solve many problems."
Song Yu thought.
…
…
It was already midnight when we got home, and the front, middle and back yards were all quiet.
However, when Song Yu entered the backyard, Jing Mo, who was responsible for helping him wash up tonight, came out immediately.
"Master, are you back?"
Jingmo said hello in a waxy voice.
After arriving at Lin'an Mansion, life was relaxed and comfortable. Apart from practicing every day, I was looking forward to when it would be my turn to serve the master.
Under the nourishment of such days, not only Jingmo, but also all the girls became more beautiful and charming.
More vivid and agile.
Song Yu nodded and handed her a pile of various snacks: "Has everyone else fallen asleep? That will be an advantage for you!"
Jingmo took it, and a scent of fragrance instantly hit his nostrils. He blinked his slender and thick eyelashes and said in surprise: "Ah, there are so many delicious foods. I'm so kind. You remember to bring us food. We can't have it all to ourselves." I’ll call them together!”
But before she could call out, candlelight lit up in the rooms in the backyard.
Then there was a small but cheerful cheer from girls.
"I actually brought us delicious food!"
"Did you buy it in the city? It smells so good, I can smell it!"
"It's so kind of you, sir. You are thinking of us in your heart."
A group of girls pushed open the door and walked out.
Song Yu was speechless: "Aren't you even asleep?"
Song Xueqi, who came out with Xiao Qing, smiled and said: "Brother, you have been a little busy recently. I'm afraid you don't know that everyone is practicing hard at night and thinking about when I can help you."
Seeing that almost everyone had come out, Song Yu simply invited them into the main hall.
Let the girls Jingmo and Qingdai put the food on the table, and everyone sat together and chatted.
Xiao Qing sat next to Song Yu and looked at the snacks that were obviously from the night market. She didn't feel a trace of alcohol from Song Yu. She couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Didn't you go to Jiaofangsi?"
Song Yu shook his head: "I didn't go. The officials suddenly came to see me for something. I ate at the eldest princess's house that night, and didn't drink."
"Huanhuan? What does she want from you?" Xiao Qing asked in surprise.
Of course she knew this eldest princess, not only knew her, but she was also very familiar with her!
We often played together when we were kids, but as we grew up, both of us were busy with our own affairs, so we had less time to see each other.
But the relationship has always been very good, and they are considered best friends.
"Martial arts matters." Song Yu said.
"The officials agreed?" Xiao Qing also knew about this, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She knew very well what Song Yu wanted to do, and wanted to build a large chain of martial arts gyms throughout the Zhao Kingdom. She had heard of the word "chain" before, but it was very vivid and appropriate for Song Yu to use it here.
I also know that this martial arts hall is not simple, it belongs to the "martial arts academy" corresponding to the academy.
For Xiao Qing, who is also patriotic at heart, this is something that only a person with a truly ambitious mind can do.
Unlike those scumbags who only think about their own selfish interests all day long.
If the skin is gone, the hair will be gone. She practiced so diligently after returning from Hanjiang, just so that one day, if war breaks out again, she can stand up to her men and never become a burden to others!
"Yes, I agreed, and the treatment given is very generous." Song Yu said.
The conversation between the two did not go behind the backs of the group of girls. Everyone listened quietly while eating.
At this time, Qingdai suddenly asked: "Sir, when our martial arts gym opens later, will we need a large number of martial arts masters?"
Song Yu nodded: "What, Xiao Qingdai is interested?"
In terms of civilized culture, Zhao State was even better than the Southern Song Dynasty that Song Yu was familiar with. In terms of work, it was normal for women to show their faces openly.
Let’s talk about the profession of “cook” that is easily overlooked.
A powerful top cook can get hundreds of dollars in rewards just for cooking a meal for the prefect.
There are also women in most other walks of life.
Even in terms of marriage, men do not divorce their wives unilaterally. There are also many women who actively choose to divorce.
Qingdai nodded with bright eyes and said seriously: "Before, in Hanjiang, we were the only ones at home, and we could still do things without feeling lonely; now that we are here, there are other maids and servants doing all kinds of work. We have almost nothing to do except wash and change clothes for you, and we feel useless. If we can do more for you, we will be happy."
The other girls nodded in agreement.
Xiao Qing looked at Song Yu: "Are you willing to put such a group of delicate girls in a place full of men like a martial arts school?"
"Miss, don't underestimate us, we can do it!" Ziling, who is also very courageous and has a fierce personality, said with a smile.
Song Yu looked at Qingdai, Ziling and others: "You really want to go to the martial arts gym?"
At this time Caiyi said: "Actually, we chatted privately and had an idea..."
Song Yu looked at his favorite little secretary: "Say."
Caiyi said: "What Qingdai just said is indeed everyone's confusion recently. I feel that since I came to my father's side, I have been pampered by you and become everyone's lady. Over time, it is easy to be arrogant and arrogant. This is not good, so everyone We all want to find something to do. In addition, we have all been practicing for so long, but our actual combat experience is very different. Everyone admires Miss Qing and wants to be able to help me outside like her."
Xiao Qing said with some embarrassment: "How could I help him? It was your master who saved his life in Hanjiang before."
Song Yu waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated. Besides, I wouldn't have been able to come here without you, let alone have the chance to be valued by the chief manager and officials?"
Xiao Qing glanced at him and said to her heart that you can do it without me!
She looked at Caiyi: "Sorry to interrupt you, please continue."
Caiyi smiled: "So we were thinking that if we could go to the martial arts gym to help, on the one hand we could get more experience; on the other hand, we were also thinking about whether we could open a girls' class to teach girls some self-defense. Moves that are talented can also be developed..."
Xiao Qing's eyes lit up, she looked at Song Yu and said, "This is a good idea!"
Both she and Zhao Huan grew up in an environment with a high degree of freedom since childhood, and received better education than those from aristocratic families.
This also results in their vision, structure and conversation being far beyond those of ordinary women.
Song Yu nodded: "It's a good idea, but I don't know how many people will send their daughters to martial arts schools..."
This thing doesn't just need to be civilized. Even in later generations, there will still be a minority of girls who go to learn martial arts.
Song Xueqi said at the side: "Every one counts, I read some books recently, saying that Northern Zhao was destroyed, and the people were devastated in those years when the Qi people came over. The people were displaced. The fate of women was particularly tragic. They had no ability to resist and could only be humiliated. , if you have the skills, you will drag the enemy to death with you!"
"The young lady is right. The woman I admire most is Ye Sanniang. I accidentally read her story a few days ago. It is really admirable. She is only sixteen or seventeen years old, a little younger than us now. How dare you enter Northern Qi with your sword alone and behead so many Northern Qi officers!" Qing Dai said with bright eyes.
Among this group of girls, there are those who are gentle and soft-tempered, such as Bletilla, Isatis, Manjing, etc., but there are also those like Qingdai and Ziling who are as strong in their bones as men.
Song Yu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
The original acceptance of this group of girls was a combination of various complex factors. After getting along with them for such a long time, they have become like family.
Isn't the purpose of passing on the simplified version of the scripture to them so that one day it can lead them to a higher level?
Keeping a bird in a cage will always serve as a canary for viewing.
Only by letting go can you have the chance to grow into an eagle that spreads its wings and soars in the blue sky.
Through this impromptu small gathering, Xiao Qing also "met" this group of smart girls for the first time in a real sense.
Before, she was only familiar with Xue Qi and Cai Yi. After talking with each other tonight, she gained many new friends.
She also noticed that the communication between Song Yu and these girls was not like the master and maid she was familiar with.
Rather, he was like a gentle brother who doted on his younger sister. This feeling made her both novel and heart-warming.
At the same time, I was also vaguely worried.
Men who are too nice must be very popular, but I am not very good at it either!
