When he held her in his arms at night, Li Lin couldn't sleep. He had been thinking before that if he went through all the trouble to bring her here, what's the point besides making her tired and running around with him.
But when he held her in his arms, even though she was still too hot and reluctant to let him hold her, he always felt much more at ease and fulfilled.
The world once said, "Beauty Pass, Tender Country, and Heroes' Tomb." He didn't quite agree with it before. He felt that even if women in this world were born good-looking, they would only be beautiful with withered bones when they grow old.
But at this moment, he wanted to make her into a small one that he could carry in his arms and take with her wherever he went.
When having breakfast the next morning, he told her to let her rest for a day and set off again tomorrow. He also washed her bedding and clothes on the way. It was really inconvenient to wash her clothes on the road for such a long time. , the weather is nice now, I just want to wash and dry it.
After discussing the itinerary with her, he went to the main courtyard to check Zhao Mingjing's homework. Before he left, he also arranged homework for Zhao Mingjing, read some books, and then wrote some of his knowledge and understanding based on what happened on the road.
After I finished examining the contents of his book, I asked him in detail about what happened on the road and his thoughts. Without making any comments, I arranged two more books for him so that he could read them when he had time.
Although personal experience is important, you also need to read more books.
"Sir." Zhao Mingjing hesitated for a long time and then asked him, "The student has a point that he doesn't quite understand."
"tell me the story."
"Previously, Mr. Xu was going to the Western Wei Dynasty with Mr. Xu. The student wanted to go with the two of them. Mr. Xu said that people always move forward, and good people always stay with good people. If you fall behind, you will be Leave it behind, and sometimes don’t blame others for leaving you behind, just because you don’t have the ability to keep up.”
Li Lin nodded: "That's true. If you are an ordinary person in a rural mountain village and you played with your peers in the village when you were a child, you may have a very good relationship."
"But if you start to grow up and go to a private school to study, and if he can't, the distance between the two will widen. You will meet more like-minded people in the academy, and they will be your classmates. You friends."
"As you grow older, you will become better and better, and the friends around you will also become better and better. They will walk with you all the way, and those friends in the past are no longer the same as you. Falling behind early.”
Zhao Mingjing nodded. He understood this truth, but there was one thing that made him really confused: "But sir, is this also true between husband and wife?"
Li Lin paused and looked up at him.
Zhao Mingjing continued: "Sir took a step ahead, Mistress walked slowly, and Master turned back to pick up Mistress. It seems to be somewhat different from this principle."
Zhao Mingjing has seen a lot of couples, but rarely like this. If it were another couple, you would walk slowly, and at most you would send someone to pick them up. It is impossible to come in person.
Moreover, it was so far away that it would take several days to ride a horse. It was unspeakably tiring to travel all the way.
"Of course they are different." Li Lin said, "Husband and wife are one body. How can it be the same as others? I don't know what other couples are like, but in my opinion, husband and wife are one body. No one will separate the other. If you leave them behind, there won’t be any disaster and they will fly away separately.”
"From the day I married her, I knew that she would be my lifelong responsibility. I could share my honor, status and wealth with her. I didn't even intend to make any demands on her. I could do whatever she wanted. Just feel happy.”
"As far as this couple is concerned, she may walk slower in this journey of life, but as a man and a husband, I will always wait for her, or walk with her at her speed. .”
"If you really think she's walking too slowly, I'll walk faster for a while, but I'll always come back to pick her up. Or if she feels tired, I'll always walk with her on my back."
Now that we are husband and wife, we should stay together through thick and thin and never abandon each other.
After all, Li Lin is a native of this era. Maybe he has some ideas that are different from others, but he is also somewhat chauvinistic. He feels that he is a man and since he has married a wife, her wife is his lifelong responsibility.
He will not ask his wife to change anything for him. There are some things that she is willing to do herself, and he is very happy. If she is not willing, he has no idea and just does it himself.
He will not feel that he has paid more between husband and wife, asking for equality, asking her to stand side by side with him, no matter how hard the husband and wife work together, he is willing to be a big tree, shelter her from the wind and rain, and shield her from the wind and rain outside. rain.
Of course, he couldn't relate to what Su Wan said before about equality between men and women.
Zhao Mingjing still didn't quite understand such couples. The couples he knew were from the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and the other were the wives and concubines of powerful families. The most they could do was to give them some respect.
A pair like this one is really rare.
With power and wealth in his hands, he has the beauties of the world at his disposal. Even as a concubine, most of them are willing to do so, but unfortunately he only wants to keep his wife alone, and even she is not that virtuous and virtuous.
Zhao Mingjing couldn't figure out what he would be like when he married his wife. If he really took that position, he might be like many emperors, who wanted to balance the court, the three palaces and the six courtyards.
Li Lin saw him meditating and probably understood what he was thinking, so he said: "If it is to balance the court, preparing a harem is naturally the fastest and low-effort way, but it is often a compromise for the weak."
"If a man can't even decide what kind of woman he marries, his life will be nothing more than a puppet guided by fate."
"Now that you are studying next to me, you should also respect me as Sir. I hope that you can grow into a man of achievements, that the court will be balanced and the courtiers will respect you, that the world will be peaceful and that the people will live in peace, and that you will be able to take charge of your own life, and at least marry you. Any girl can make her own decision whether she wants to marry or not."
Zhao Mingjing was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Sir, the student has written it down."
Seeing that he was thinking seriously, Li Lin nodded and stopped disturbing him. He turned around and went to the yard behind. He happened to see Su Wan wearing a cyan narrow-sleeved waist-length skirt, squatting beside a wooden basin with his sleeves rolled up. Wash your clothes.
Xiao Sang was washing the quilt in another wooden basin. Xie Si'an was carrying a bucket to fetch water from the well, and then he squatted down and washed together. The three of them were talking while washing, and they didn't know what they were happy about. He laughed heartily.
He rolled up his sleeves, then paused beside her, and scrubbed with her.
