At this time, the sedan chair was slowly moving forward in silence, but Ye Ruyan's heart inside the sedan was not very peaceful. The center of her mind was filled with the figure of Shen Qianxing, which she couldn't get rid of. That's right, it was her second senior brother, Shen Qianxing, one of the "Four Elites of Qiu Shui".
In fact, how much she hoped in her heart that she would really get married this time. It's a pity that this is a lie. It's a plan made by Yun Fan to lure the snake out of the cave; it's a big net they cast to lure the mountain demon to appear, and it's a big picture.
Throughout the ages, it is believed that every woman has a bride's dream. They all fantasize that one day in their lives, their own prince charming will descend from the sky wearing golden armor and holy clothes, with colorful auspicious clouds at his feet, come to her, and tell her personally that he wants to marry her and hopes that he will marry her. She marries him. Then she was married with three letters and six etiquettes, three matchmakers and six betrothals, eight large sedan chairs, and ten miles of red makeup.
Of course, as a woman, Ye Ruyan is no exception!
Just now, when Qin Mengyao asked her if she had fallen in love with someone, Ye Ruyan's answer was "yes".
However, she did not tell Qin Mengyao who that person was, probably because they had not known each other for a long time. Out of caution, Ye Ruyan still had reservations about her. Furthermore, this also belongs to Ye Ruyan's own privacy, so she is not in a position to say more.
She had a tragic life. She lost her mother when she was a child, and her father left her forever during the conspiracy that year. Fortunately, she later met Lin Haoran and his wife, who took her to Qiushui Villa. Later, she naturally became a disciple of her master Lin Haoran at Qiushui Villa.
She and Shen Qianxing entered the school at almost the same time, and became disciples of Lin Haoran at the same time. She is several years younger than Shen Qianxing, and Shen Qianxing is several years older than her. Therefore, Shen Qianxing does his best to protect her, care for her, and help her no matter in daily life or cultivation. .
When Shen Qianxing became one of the Four Masters of Qiushui, Ye Ruyan secretly vowed to work hard to catch up with him. Finally, her hard work paid off, and she finally got her wish, catching up with Shen Qianxing, and becoming one of the "Four Elites in Qiu Shui" with him.
The two are both among the Four Elites of Qiu Shui. Ye Ruyan has been in love with Shen Qianxing since she was a child, but her relationship was based on an extremely unequal basis from the beginning.
As the saying goes, how can a body made of grains be immortal? The pain of lovesickness is the most corrosive to the human heart. What's more, it might be Ye Ruyan's unrequited love. Therefore, the results of the two of them are foreseeable.
————————
Having said that, I will talk about some digressions about the relationship between men and women.
As the saying goes, lick the dog, lick the dog, and lick the dog until there is nothing left.
Men chase women, separated by mountains, women chase men, separated by layers of yarn.
It is instinct for a man to be interested in a woman. When a woman is interested in a man, that is success. Those lickers, those who hang around behind women's butts all day long, will only end up beating chickens and eggs, failing and losing everything. He lost his wife and lost his troops, he lost his money and was angry, and nothing happened.
If men and women want to live a long and happy life, there are several factors.
First of all, the three views must be consistent. This is the first priority. If two people have completely different views, one is in the south, the other is in the north, one is in the east, and the other is in the west, and they are forced to come together, it will be a chicken-and-egg affair, and they will never have a peaceful life.
Secondly, the positional relationship when getting along at the beginning must be equal, at least on the same level. The positional relationship here does not refer to the equality of social status, background and wealth between men and women, but to a kind of equality in the soul and subconsciousness.
Those who pursue success through persistent stalking are now commonly known as "dog lickers", or have been working as a regular employee for many years. This kind of relationship in which one party is superior and the other is inferior has been in an extremely unequal position from the beginning.
In a short period of time, the party that may be at a low and weak position will compromise and compromise. But as time goes by, the frustration caused by this imbalance will gradually accumulate, and there will always be a day when it becomes unbearable and completely explodes. By that time, men and women will either have cracks in their marriages and live a useless life. Either one party can't stand the other party, and in the end they just break up and go their separate ways.
In real life, there are countless such examples. I won’t list them one by one.
Finally, and most importantly.
Marriage is a scale. A man's status, wealth, fame, knowledge and other advantages are all chips placed on this side of the scale. A woman's beauty, thoughtfulness, family care, filial piety and other advantages are also chips placed on the other side of the scale.
When one party's bargaining chip weight increases, the other party's chip weight must also increase. Both men and women must maintain a general balance. Only in this way can the marriage last long.
For example, as time goes by, a man's knowledge, wealth, status, etc. are slowly adding up. A woman's beauty slowly deteriorates and becomes lighter as time goes by.
At this time, women need to be more family-oriented, more considerate, and more filial in order to maintain the balance of this scale. If a woman becomes worse and worse in terms of appearance or filial piety to her elders, and if she is not good enough in other aspects, then what awaits her may be a nightmare. On the contrary, the same is true for men.
In Jin Yong's novels, there is a love story between a man and a woman, which once puzzled me.
That is the protagonist Linghu Chong and his junior sister Yue Lingshan in "The Swordsman".
Linghu Chong was an orphan since he was a child. Later, he was lucky enough to become a disciple of the Huashan Sect. From then on, he formed an indissoluble bond with the Huashan Sect. He has a very good relationship with his junior sister Yue Lingshan. They have been childhood sweethearts since they were little and grew up, and they have a deep relationship with each other.
They once thought they would be a match made in heaven, and I'm afraid they must have thought so in their hearts at the time.
But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse later on. With Lin Pingzhi joining in midway due to family changes, the relationship between the two began to crack.
In the end, Lin Pingzhi, driven by hatred, tried his best to get close to Yue Lingshan, pursued her crazily, and finally fought for love, successfully capturing Yue Lingshan's heart, causing her to fall in love with her.
The fact that my junior sister Yue Lingshan fell in love so quickly was something I had not thought about for a long time. But it wasn't until later that I gradually understood the reason.
After all, the deep relationship she had with Linghu Chong for more than ten years was no match for Lin Pingzhi's crazy pursuit in just a few months. This makes me very confused.
Logically speaking, if Yue Lingshan really only has Linghu Chong in her heart, if she really likes Linghu Chong and loves him, then no matter what methods Lin Pingzhi uses, her heart for Linghu Chong will remain firm, consistent and unswerving.
But things are exactly the opposite. There is only one explanation for such a result, and that is, over the past ten years, junior sister Yue Lingshan's deep feelings for Linghu Chong are not actually a true love between a man and a woman, but more of something similar. In the love between brother and sister. In Yue Lingshan's heart, before she met Lin Pingzhi, maybe she didn't really see what her feelings for Linghu Chong were like. Is there more love between brothers and sisters, or more love between men and women?
It wasn't until she met Lin Ping that she truly understood that her relationship with Linghu Chong was that of brother and sister. Therefore, facing Lin Pingzhi's fierce offensive, she finally fell.
But their final outcome is destined to be a tragedy. As mentioned above, first of all, neither of them meet the first condition. First of all, the three views do not match. Lin Pingzhi's existence is to avenge his parents. This is the meaning of his existence. But Yue Lingshan is different. She has been the apple of the head of Huashan since she was a child. She is a rich lady, well-dressed and well-fed. How can the three views of these two people be consistent?
Secondly, the positions of the characters are not equal. One is a rich young lady with fine clothes and fine food, and the other is an official queen who has nothing and is in trouble. One is in the sky, the other is on the ground. Even if these two people are forced to get together temporarily, there will be no good results in the end, not to mention that Lin Pingzhi himself still shoulders the blood feud of his family to avenge.
Nowadays, people like Lin Pingzhi are just like dog-licking men. Licking the dog, licking the dog, licking until there is nothing left!
Therefore, the final ending of Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan must end in tragedy. Perhaps from the moment they met, their tragic ending was destined.
Only someone with extremely rich emotional experience like Jin Yong could write something like this!
All in all, marriage requires the joint efforts of both men and women to maintain and operate it. It cannot work without either party.
No wonder some people say that marriage is the grave of love!
The above are purely personal opinions about the relationship between men and women, so don’t blame them if you find them strange.
————————
Let’s stop gossiping and get back to the main story.
Ye Ruyan, escorted by Yun Fan and other people, successfully arrived at the Red River Valley.
This red river valley was where Yun Fan had previously guessed that the mountain demon lived. Furthermore, the mountain demon always attacks here without exception, and all the previous brides disappeared here. Therefore, Yunfan sent the wedding party straight to the Red River Valley.
Everyone in the team was worried, looked solemn, and walked forward with heavy steps.
Unknowingly, the sedan chair had arrived at the boundary of the Red River Valley.
Yun Fan, Sikong Zhenjiu and Qiu Shi were tightly surrounding the sedan chair, their gazes were wandering around, their eyes were condensed, they were fully alert, and they were ready to move forward slowly, not daring to relax at all.
At this moment, a strong wind roared from the front of the team, just like before. The strong wind blew on their bodies and faces, so that each of their eyes were blurred and difficult to open.
Yun Fan grinned slightly and squinted: You are finally coming. I want to see who you are, the so-called "mountain demon" who is rumored to be so mysterious and mysterious by everyone! ? A few more tricks! ?
He stood there, with a pair of black eyes as deep as a thousand-year-old deep pool, radiant with light, his eyes were like lightning, and his aura was breathtaking, always watching the movements around him.
The vision suddenly appeared, and everyone's footsteps suddenly stopped. They all knew that this was a sign before the mountain demon arrived.
As this strong wind struck without warning, an unusually thick white smoke swept in, like a savage beast that burst a dam. In just a few breaths, they were all submerged and swallowed up!
