"Old man, are there any interesting places of interest here?"
"Go further east and you will reach the border of Daliang. There is a wide and majestic Mihe River, which is very spectacular. During the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a dragon boat race, which is very interesting. Alas! It is a pity that it has not been held for many years. I am afraid that the children in the future will I didn’t know this project existed!” The old man said while driving the old scalper.
"Old man, why do you say that?" Yuzhu sat on the haystack and listened to the old man's words.
"This Mihe and this Gucheng both belonged to our Daliang people before. Since General Changsheng lost the battle and lost the city, they no longer belong to our Daliang people. How can those rough Hu people understand the customs of the Gucheng people? Naturally, Can’t see it anymore.”
"That's a pity. We can only go and see the scenery." Yuzhu said regretfully.
"I'm afraid the girl won't be able to go. I heard that there is going to be a war there, but it may not be possible. The generals in Daliang are the Ye family, a group of lords who only make thunder but not rain. They shout every day to take back Gucheng. How much have they collected? Years have passed and they haven't been taken back yet. If General Fei Lian was still here, why would these little bastards still be clamoring?" the old man said angrily.
Hearing Feilian's name, Yuzhu seemed to think of something.
"After so many years, have you not trained a new 'General of Long Victory'?" Yuzhu asked.
"The Ye family has been controlling the government for many years. How can the new emperor, a young emperor, defeat the huge Ye family?" the old man said.
"What does this have to do with cultivating talents?" Yuzhu asked.
"When civil servants and military officials all listen to one person and cultivate new talents? How is that possible! The Ye family is eager to use everyone for the Ye family, and the new emperor will become a puppet. The Ye family does not allow new talents to appear. If he becomes a threat to him, naturally Daliang will not be able to recover the lost city, let alone a new 'Eternal Victory General'!" said the old man.
"Old man, your insights are very unique!" Yuzhu said.
Yuzhu also didn't expect that the ordinary people she met on the road could analyze national affairs so thoroughly. She also had a deep understanding. In the two years since she left Lianghe, she had gained a lot along the way.
"Don't take it seriously! Don't take it seriously what an old man said. If you really want to see Mihe, you can go and see it. The possibility of a real war is not very high, and the possibility of taking back Gucheng is not very high. Big." The old man said.
"Thank you, old man!" Yuzhu said.
"Girl, I'm home. I can only send it to you."
Yuzhu said goodbye to his old man and walked eastward.
"A suona and a gong, a red sedan chair and a red hijab, the bride changes brides, weeps to find the groom, the red matchmaker smiles, builds bridges to win marriage, the big flower wears a few mandarin ducks, no matter right or wrong, robs Yue Lao of a good life, the groom The official is dignified, no dowry is required, no betrothal is required, the wife is exchanged with joy, the in-laws burn firewood, you call me brother and he calls me sister, sister-in-law and sister are all right, the door is closed and the kang is hot, I will give birth to a fat boy in the next year!" A group of children ran and danced singing on the road Listening to the song, Yuzhu heard why the song was so strange. Driven by curiosity, he walked through the woods in search of the place where the song came from.
The sound of suonas getting closer and closer, the sound of gongs and the sound of children playing, a group of wedding procession, many neighbors on the roadside came to watch the fun, the sedan chair shook and walked, the fat matchmaker held a basket on her arm, she started walking Every now and then, she would grab a handful of candies from the basket and throw them into the air, attracting a group of children to grab them.
"Brother, whose family is celebrating a happy event here? What are the songs the children are singing? Why are they so weird?" Yuzhu asked looking at the excitement on the side of the road.
"It's about exchanging relatives!"
"Exchange of marriages? Why exchange of marriages?" Yuzhu asked.
"You look like a foreigner at first glance! Both families are getting married with one son and one daughter. If you marry your daughter to his son, he will marry his daughter to your family." The man said calmly, as if he was used to it and didn't think it was wrong. Nothing strange.
Yuzhu was even more puzzled. Why did it feel a bit ridiculous? She said: "They got married, but did the man and woman from the two families happen to like each other?"
"Like each other? How is that possible! The men and women of the two families may have never met each other, so there is no way they like each other!"
"Then why do two families become in-laws? Don't you ask about the wishes of your children?" Yuzhu asked. She still found it unbelievable. How could there be such a ridiculous thing in this world?
"The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers have been like this since ancient times, let alone being born in a poor family. This change of marriage is a helpless move!"
"It's really ridiculous. As a parent, you don't think about your children. How can you do such a ridiculous thing? Don't you consider the feelings of your children?" Yuzhu said angrily.
"If it weren't for poverty and I couldn't find a wife for my son, I would have no choice but to exchange my own daughter for another's daughter."
It turns out that the real victim is the daughter! "If your son can't get a wife, should he trade his daughter's happiness for it? How ridiculous!" The more Yuzhu listened, the more excited he became, and he had the urge to beat someone up.
"A daughter is a daughter, and a man has to carry on the family line! So what does it matter if he sacrifices himself as a sister?" Na said confidently.
Yuzhu was about to be furious. She really wanted to beat up that patriarchal person on the spot. "Why not let men sacrifice themselves instead of women? Women are the ones who give birth to children!" Yuzhu was unconvinced. road.
"So what? When a woman gives birth to a child, she doesn't take the man's surname. After death, the man has to go to the ancestral hall. What about the woman? When she gets married, she follows her husband's family. When she gives birth to a child, she takes someone else's surname. Her parents support her so much. Sacrifice for her brother will realize her value, and her parents’ support for her will not be in vain!”
"Parents raise their daughter just so that she can sacrifice herself. It's okay not to have such parents. They treat their children as victims of their own interests. Only men are his children. Do they still deserve to be parents? To carry on the family line? Haha! What is there to pass on to such poor people? Ding-dong, what does it convey when it is born? Is it air? Only those who have no descendants are better!" Yuzhu said angrily.
"How can you, a woman, be so cruel and accuse others of annihilating their children and grandchildren?"
"It's just that you look pretty, why are you so evil-minded!"
"Yes, you really have a heart like a snake and a scorpion!"
"How vicious!"
Call her evil, but they are the ones who are truly evil! They just fell into it without realizing it. Yuzhu had restrained himself from saying harsh words.
Yuzhu fled the scene amidst the curses and questions. There were even women who came to scold her. She couldn't understand the mentality of the women here. Are these women stupid? As a woman, I don't think about women. I also feel that what the other party said is extremely accurate. The people here must be mentally poisoned. The poison has invaded deeply and become deep-rooted. There is no cure. I think he will wake up by scolding him. They are out of the question.
Yuzhu no longer wanted to pay attention to these people who had nothing to do with her. She was thinking about something. She decided to do something big and began to plan in her heart what to do.
