Wang Qingyue couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw the girl in front of her greeting her naturally.
Just now, she saw the two ladies next to the girl looking in her direction and talking to her in a low voice. They must have been talking about her situation at that time.
She fully expected that this would be another girl who would avoid her, and she was used to it.
So what if you're not used to it? Reality forced her to take on the important role of housekeeper at a young age, otherwise the mother and her three children would have been eaten alive by the concubines.
It's not that she doesn't care if others are biased and don't interact with her, but she just can't influence other people's thoughts, and she doesn't want to and can't change herself, so she has no choice but to become independent.
In fact, she also knew that she had taken care of the house for her mother at a young age and had managed her father's concubines to death. Such a boudoir woman would have mixed reviews in the eyes of the ladies who had sons. Of course, some would praise her more than others. many.
As a mother-in-law, most people don't want a powerful daughter-in-law. After all, who wants to give up the housekeeping rights that they finally got early?
Of course, it's not like there aren't ladies who can't manage their own homes, or who manage them in a mess, who have her in mind.
If he wants her to marry and help him, it is better to give housekeeping rights to his daughter-in-law than to an outsider.
It's just that that kind of family is very chaotic, and the son of that family will not be much better. She is not an ignorant little girl, how could she marry into that kind of family.
She cleverly avoided those people. Those ladies started taking action after she was born, and some people came to her house to mention it to her mother.
She thinks that her parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker will suffice, and she has to obey no matter how big the idea is.
It's just that they made the wrong decision. Now my mother is used to her being the master of the house and won't be her master at all. No matter what happens, she will subconsciously ask her first.
So the ladies worked hard for a long time, and only the mother asked her daughter for her opinion.
Asked her opinion, of course she refused, so those ladies returned in vain.
It's just that in this way, the rejected ladies will have no good words to say about her. Her reputation will naturally become even worse if she is publicized to the outside world for her high vision.
In the past, she was said to be too powerful and not as pliable as a woman. Now she is also said to want to climb high and be picky, so some girls of the same age will not get close to her.
The reason why she sat with Qingyan just now was because everyone was sitting with people they were close to, and there was only room here.
It didn't matter where she sat, she was just afraid that this girl who was attending the banquet for the first time would not be happy.
She was already mentally prepared to be ignored. She wanted to finish the meal in silence, listen to see if there was any new news, and then leave. She didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to say hello to her.
When Qingyan was talking about Qinian Village, she also listened to some of it, but because she came late, she only listened to the second half, and didn't know that Qingyan was traveling on her own.
I thought she met her with her family, so I just listened to it as an anecdote.
If she had listened carefully and known that Qingyan traveled alone at a young age, she would have known that this person was also a maverick, even more shocking than her.
After all, although she was a bit precocious, she started taking care of the house at the age of eight, and also took care of her own back house, without leaving the one-third of an acre of land.
This person has traveled all over the world, but he is still alone. Not only has he escaped from the wilderness, encountered killers, and entered strange villages, he is not afraid and can still participate in it, which is very powerful.
Qingyan hadn't mentioned the story of how she and Chou Chou killed the killers and a dozen bandits from Qingfeng Town, otherwise they would have frightened these ladies.
…
Today is a banquet, but there are actually not many hot dishes. Except for the mutton pot, which is the main course, everyone eats some warmly. The rest are mostly braised cooked food and snacks, which are just enough to fill the stomach. The main thing is Just to get together and chat and exchange information.
Both parties tacitly want to get information from each other, and also to build some relationships. After all, lady diplomacy is also very important. Sometimes pillow style is more useful than orders from the boss.
Everyone finished eating quickly, and then moved to another place to let the servants clear the table.
This time, instead of sitting together in small groups like when we first came here, everyone gathered together to drink tea and chat.
Some little girls ignored Wang Qingyue's presence and ran to Qingyan, wanting to hear her continue to talk about what she had seen and heard before.
Qingyan could only talk about what happened on the road with everyone in Yangjiaping, until they reached Handeng.
Of course, she said that this was what her "mother" encountered more than ten years ago. Otherwise, even if these young ladies have never been out, there are officials in their families. If anyone is sensitive to these things, there may be trouble. .
Both Handeng and Xingtang Mansion were called more than ten years ago, and she didn't know what their names were now, so it was best to blame "Mother".
Qingyan didn't want to talk about what happened next, but it triggered Xue Huan'er's memory, so she picked her up directly from Handeng and talked about her escorting the three of them.
That was what happened along the way from Handeng to Xingtang Mansion. After all, she was also involved and remembered it very clearly.
Of course, the three of them did not mention those things before. They only said that her father passed away, and the siblings could only go back to their parents' home with their mother, because the world was in chaos at that time, and it was Aunt Qingyan who escorted them all the way back.
Not only did they encounter heavy rain on the way, but when they went into a ruined temple to take shelter from the rain, they encountered villagers who were deserting, and they also encountered a killer who was chasing them!
After listening to these young ladies who had never seen the world exclaim in surprise, Qingyan found that this person was better at using words and sentences than she was, and was more suitable for the storyteller business.
She pretended that Xue Huan'er said something she didn't know, and exclaimed together as if it was the first time she heard it.
In fact, she really didn't know some things. After all, the perspective was different. She went out to fight the killer at that time, so she definitely wouldn't notice what was going on in the ruined temple.
So what Xue Huan'er was talking about was what she saw inside the ruined temple from her perspective.
This made Qingyan almost invincible. It was said that her back was particularly heroic. In order to protect innocent people like them, she took action and stabbed the killers one by one. She killed the killers until they were pissed and knelt down to beg for mercy. All the horses…
Of course, this happened later. She only had one left in the ruined temple, which was the big bear. Later, I chased him on the road and got ten more horses.
Xue Huan'er guessed this situation on her own. After all, Qingyan solved the problem by herself at that time and did not take them with her.
Now even Wang Qingyue couldn't help but marvel, there is such a strange woman in the world! His martial arts skills are so strong that he can fight one against ten or even twenty, and he can defeat all those people. It really makes these women look good!
When they were talking about these things here, the ladies over there who were nagging family members and talking about some open secrets that everyone in the city knew, also came over and listened with great interest.
Qingyan looked at this situation and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She also said that she would come with her to see the world and see what the gathering of ancient officials' wives was like.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her and Xue Huan'er's home field in the end. It felt like they were just here to tell stories and act as storytellers.
Of course, this is not without its benefits. At least I can quickly integrate into the group of these ladies and ladies, and quickly become familiar with these ladies and ladies.
A few younger ones kept pulling Qingyan to ask questions, asking her what it was like outside and whether she knew martial arts.
After knowing that she really knew how to do it, I was so excited that I coquettishly asked her to demonstrate it again.
He even dragged her into the yard and forced her to make some gestures.
Several pairs of eyes looked at her with wet eyes. Qingyan really couldn't bear it and had no choice but to agree.
Her Wanxiang boxing technique was not learned in vain. Her father later incorporated many classic moves from other martial arts schools into it, making it even more exciting and beautiful to fight.
Qingyan took off the outer cloak and handed it to the maid aside. The maid put it on when she just went out. There was a big temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house, so she was afraid that they would catch the cold.
In addition to the cloak, Qingyan also took off two steps that were easy to fall off, tried on the bun and it was still strong, and then started making gestures.
Although the cotton skirt underneath was a bit in the way, luckily she didn't have any kicking or splitting moves. Most of the boxing moves were on the upper body, and the lower body just needed to be stable.
Moreover, she learned the boxing technique of women, which is more feminine and does not have the feeling of opening and closing like that of men. However, because of her huge strength, the punches she hits are very bluffing.
When she finished her set of moves and just finished, everyone present couldn't help but applaud and cheered, which made Qingyan almost ask Chou Chou to get her a gong to collect the money.
This scene was too much like a busker on the street. Fortunately, everyone showed naked appreciation in their eyes, otherwise she would have been embarrassed.
Several young ladies came over and grabbed her, insisting on becoming her teacher and learning martial arts from her. They also wanted to become martial arts masters and travel on their own.
As soon as these words came out, before Qingyan could reply, their frightened mother hurriedly pulled her back, and kept winking at Qingyan, telling her to quickly refuse.
Of course Qingyan would not agree to them, not because these ladies or this boxing technique could not be passed on to others, but because their bodies had not been transformed by Lingquan, so even if this boxing technique was taught to them, they would not be able to learn anything.
The other one is more afraid that if they learn half-heartedly and think they are very good, then it will be bad if they really go out to travel.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the constraints on women were not so great, and they were relatively free.
But if you go out alone, it is indeed dangerous. Not only will you encounter bandits, but you may also encounter kidnappers and other people with malicious intentions.
Some people are not bad people, but when they see a single woman walking outside, they will have bad intentions, so it is best not to teach her.
Of course, she couldn't say it directly. Qingyan said tactfully: "My family's boxing method is not a quick one. I have been practicing zamabu since I was three or four years old. I walk with more than ten kilograms of sandbags tied to my body every day. When I got older, I even wore more sandbags. After weighing dozens of kilograms, I gradually developed my internal strength.
You are already a bit old. You cannot learn well at this time, and you may even hurt your body. "
Hearing this, the little girls were a little downcast and languidly returned to their mothers to seek comfort.
Wang Qingyue immediately grasped the key point, pulled Qingyan aside, and said with bright eyes: "Heng Yue, you have internal power. Is it the kind of internal power that can turn over rivers and seas, open mountains and split rocks?"
Qingyan shook her head, "That's definitely not the case. Turning rivers and seas, cutting mountains and rocks, that's not internal power, that's divine power, and only gods can do it.
My internal strength means that I am stronger, so I can split a small stone with just an inch of strength, but it won't work if it is too big. "
Wang Qingyue's eyes brightened even more, "That's really awesome. We ordinary people can't even split wood, let alone rocks. You are really amazing. It turns out you really have such skill!"
Sigh~ What a pity. I wish I had met you earlier. I also want to practice martial arts. Then I won’t be afraid of anyone. Anyone who disobeys will be beaten to the ground!
I don’t have to deal with them constantly and scheming like I do now. Sometimes I feel like I’m full of schemes and disgusting. "
Qingyan patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I'll wait until you raise your younger brother.
You can't just rely on yourself. It's useless to carry it by yourself. It's useless if your relatives can't stand up. You have to try your best to get your mother and your brother to stand up too. Otherwise, if you just rely on yourself to support it, you will be exhausted.
And you don’t have a strong head and six arms, so you can’t keep an eye on them. Sooner or later, you will get married. Once you get married, what will happen to your family?
The most reliable thing is relying on yourself.
If your mother really can't stand up, ask your brother to take over. After all, your brother is the legitimate son of the family. No matter what your father does, he can't ignore his biological son. As long as your brother stands up, you will also be able to stand up in the future. Much easier. "
Wang Qingyue nodded, "I know, I've tried it too, what do you say about my mother? No matter how big a backer she is given, she can't be tough.
Her character is like that, she listens to what everyone says and will not resist or refuse at all. Not only to my father and those concubines, but also to the servants at home, she will not refute.
My brother is okay. He has a very similar personality to mine and is a bit stronger. But he is too young. He is eight years younger than me. He is only seven years old this year. It will take a few more years to become independent.
There is nothing I can do about it. I am already late for my hair. Even if I can delay marriage for a year or two, I cannot delay it until he reaches adulthood. This is what worries me the most. "
I don't know if it was because seeing Qingyan's high strength made her feel particularly safe. Wang Qingyue naturally said these words to her.
In fact, in this case, the current relationship between the two of them is somewhat superficial.
But she wanted to say it to Qingyan, because she couldn't say these words to others.
