It is April now, and it is also the time when flowers are in full bloom. The warm sunshine shines on the flowers, and the colorful scenery is pleasing to the eye.
Among the flowers, Su Yonglin vaguely saw a nimble figure, which seemed to be a woman, squatting on the ground doing something unknown.
His heart moved, and he couldn't help but get closer, thinking about taking a closer look, but he didn't expect that the woman stood up directly, holding a bouquet of fragrant flowers in her hand, and looked at Su Yonglin from a few steps away, and they bumped into each other.
how to say?
Just like the most beautiful flower among the flowers suddenly bloomed, this woman bloomed so beautifully in the midst of the flowers in full bloom, in front of Su Yonglin.
So much so that Su Yonglin immediately wondered whose family this little girl was the flower fairy.
But if you take a closer look, you will see that this is indeed a little girl on earth.
Wearing a blue shirt and an apricot-yellow skirt, she wears a plain white narrow-sleeved jacket. Her little face is fair and pure without makeup. Her long black hair hanging down like a waterfall is only tied with a simple ribbon. It is so full that it is about to overflow. The breath of youth rushes towards you.
Yes, a young and youthful girl who is only twenty-eight years old.
Seeing Su Yonglin, the little woman blinked her bright and clear eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and looked stunned. Then she couldn't help but took a few steps back, and then suddenly realized why a strange man appeared in her backyard.
"When I was choosing a residence for Mr. Zhao earlier, there were several residences that were quite suitable. My subordinates asked me which one to choose. I didn't know which one was better, so I visited every residence. I found that the flowers in this apartment were particularly beautiful, so I thought that the young lady from the Zhao family wouldn’t hate the flowers, so I chose this place.”
Su Yonglin bent down and reached out to pick off an unknown flower. He put it to his nose and smelled it, smelling the refreshing aroma.
Of course Zhao Xirui is not a fool.
Seeing this man with extraordinary temperament standing in front of him, and the words he spoke were enough to show his status and identity, he suppressed the rhythm of his heartbeat and tried his best to calm down.
"General Su's kindness, my daughter would like to thank you on behalf of the whole family."
"Why so?"
Su Yonglin held the flowers and walked slightly closer to Zhao Xirui, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty arranged for me to come alone to see the young lady. I was a little surprised and felt that it was inappropriate to do so. Does the young lady know about this?"
"I know I know, but I don't know when General Su will come..."
"Don't you think this is inappropriate, little lady?"
"It's not really..."
Zhao Xirui spoke softly and looked at Su Yonglin quietly.
Su Yonglin found this slightly reserved look funny, so he pointed at the small flower pavilion beside the flowers.
"The flower pavilion is very elegant. Why don't we go inside and talk?"
"Um."
Zhao Xirui nodded and walked in front. Su Yonglin followed her into the small flower pavilion, and the two sat opposite each other.
Probably because the previous emotions had not calmed down, there was still a trace of blush on Zhao Xirui's face. Against the backdrop of the tender white skin, this blush looked particularly eye-catching.
Seeing that she wasn't going to say anything, Su Yonglin took the initiative to speak.
"When I heard your father talk about the young lady before, I didn't pay much attention to the fact that the young lady is well-educated, gentle, virtuous, and so on. I didn't think there was anything special about it. The only thing that happened to me when I mentioned your brother's matter was that you were responsible for it. Only then did I feel that the little lady was different."
Zhao Xirui blinked.
"Does the general think what the little woman said is inappropriate?"
"No, on the contrary, I feel that what the young lady said is unexpected. Ordinary women would never say such things to their father. They don't understand anything else, but they do understand the ethics of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules."
Su Yonglin smiled and said, "That's why I think it's really special for the young lady to say such things."
"Does the general like women who are different? I have heard that men like gentle, virtuous, and well-educated women, so I have been reading and practicing calligraphy since I was a child, and I also learned about female beauty."
As if talking about what she was good at, Zhao Xirui smiled appropriately and her tone became calmer.
"What does it mean to be gentle and virtuous? What does it mean to be knowledgeable and reasonable? In my opinion, these words and phrases are almost the same as the genuine ones shouted by the vendors on the street."
Su Yonglin smiled: "When I was wandering around Lin'an Night Market in the past, I heard street vendors shouting loudly to attract customers. They used various words and phrases, but they were just to attract diners, so these general words and phrases have no meaning. , the real meaning is right now.”
Zhao Xirui was noncommittal about this.
"But in order to achieve the requirements of being gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable and sensible, countless little girls have tried their best and have been constantly improving themselves since they became sensible."
Feeling a little resentment, Su Yonglin smiled even more cheerfully.
"In order to fulfill the requirement of marrying a gentle, virtuous, educated and sensible young woman, countless men have also studied hard since childhood, just to marry a gentle, virtuous, educated and sensible woman."
Zhao Xirui was stunned for a moment, then involuntarily covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
Although he wanted to stop his behavior, perhaps because the words were too interesting, Zhao Xirui endured it for a while before he could restrain his body from shaking.
"The general's words are very interesting, but the general has not studied hard."
Su Yonglin shook his head slightly.
"I have studied hard in the cold window. I was not born to rebel. I studied under the guidance of my family and was sent to school. The path I walked in the beginning was the same as that of most men in the world. It’s no different.”
"What books has the General read?"
Zhao Xirui asked curiously.
"I have read all the Confucian classics. Earlier, my grandfather still wanted to train me to become a real scholar. He took part in the imperial examination and became an official in the southern country. My father regretted not being able to take this path. He hoped that I could study. Take the high road.”
"Then why..."
"Why did you take this path?"
Su Yonglin looked at Zhao Xirui and said with a smile: "Because I found that studying and becoming an official is not the right way. For an unattainable dream that I knew would be long and full of difficulties and obstacles, I decided to embark on this road. Of course, I know that this road is very difficult. Disaster.
But I have experienced many things, been to many different places, and met many different people. What I see in my eyes is different from what those high-ranking scholars and officials see. Don't conspire against each other. "
"What did the general see?"
Zhao Xirui seemed to be very interested in this.
Su Yonglin looked at her for a while.
"You will know. It won't be long before you know everything."
"You can't let me know now?"
"It's too early now, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it. After we get along for a while and you get to know me more or less, I will let you know."
Zhao Xirui was not very satisfied with Su Yonglin's answer, but then she noticed the hidden meaning in Su Yonglin's words, which made her a little shy.
"General, are you satisfied with the Zhao family? Are you willing to accept the Zhao family?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Su Yonglin said with a smile: "It's Zhao. As a rebel who must be killed by Jinting, I find it incredible that Zhao is willing to follow me."
"Zhao is also a rebel."
Zhao Xirui immediately said: "Although I am a woman and live in a boudoir, I also know the situation of the Zhao family. If the Liberation Army fails, the Zhao family will have no reason to survive. What will happen to a little girl like me in troubled times? How can you survive in this world?"
It's really unusual.
After saying this, Su Yonglin immediately felt that this little woman was indeed extraordinary.
To be precise, it is vision.
Different perspectives naturally lead to different perspectives on problems.
Zhao Zuoliang was not good at teaching his sons, but he was good at teaching his daughters.
It is not easy to educate my daughter to this point in this era.
Su Yonglin never expected that he would meet a talented woman like Li Qingzhao in this era, but he very much hoped that his wife would be a woman with some independent thinking and rebellious spirit.
Don't be so obedient to your husband and your children. Otherwise, his future married life will make him feel a little bored.
Regardless of whether you are beautiful or have a good figure, if you cannot reach a certain degree of ideological resonance with him, it must be a bit regretful for someone like Su Yonglin who cares more about spiritual communication.
As soon as I saw him today, such worries disappeared.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that Zhao Xirui was not the standard example of a good wife and mother with three obediences and four virtues, but a woman with a bit of a rebellious spirit. She was not ignorant of the current situation, but had a full understanding of her own situation.
Vision, she has vision.
This made Su Yonglin very happy, and he immediately felt that this little girl was something that could be met but not sought.
Excited, Su Yonglin stood up, walked to sit next to Zhao Xirui, and reached out to hold Zhao Xirui's hand.
This bold move made Zhao Xirui stunned, probably because he was frightened, and he didn't react at all for a moment.
"In this case, the two rebels should work together and be close. We are rebelling. This is the most dangerous thing in the world, but it is also the most profitable thing if we succeed. Anyway, we have no way out, why not fight to the death Give it a try?"
After saying that, looking at Zhao Xirui's frightened expression, Su Yonglin felt that he had done a little too harshly.
but……
Rebellion, how can there be so much time for children to love each other!
