"Miss Yu's illness is a bit serious, isn't it?"
Being in the same room with Li Yong made Yu Min's heart beat harder than last night's "tryst" on the deck.
She lowered her head, trying to escape with an ostrich tactic, but Li Yong still held her in his arms regardless of her struggle. When she sighed quietly and said, "Don't be afraid, my disease has also infected you." He couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are lovesick, am I also suffering from it? How can you get it again?"
Hearing what Li Yong said, Yu Min was stunned for a moment. When he realized that he knew she was not sick, he was teasing her again, and for a moment she felt embarrassed and unspeakable. She buried her face on his shoulder and muttered: "You just Will bully me, I..."
"Min'er, it's obvious that you didn't remember what I said last night. I'm not just going to bully you now, I'm going to bully you for the rest of my life. No matter if you're on this boat or off the boat, don't even think about running away. . If you run away, I will search all over the world and find you..."
Yu Min said "嘤四", but those two soft lips were found and bitten by Li Yong again.
Her heart was in chaos, her eyes were blurred by drunkenness, but she no longer resisted. After a while, she took the initiative to put her arms around Li Yong's neck and let Li Yong take it.
When Li Yong let her go, she couldn't help but say again: "Sister Qi Jun must know about this..."
"You will also be sisters in the future, you will know it once you know it."
Li Yong thought that of course Song Qijun would have to tell her. She knew that it would probably not happen, so she had been mentally prepared for it. What's more, Yu Min was just a concubine here.
But if she didn't tell her now and waited until she found out, it would be different after all.
At this time, Yu Min sighed again: "I know that I am not worthy of a hero like Guanren..."
Li Yong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then became speechless. However, it turned out that she had been sitting here this morning thinking wildly, and she had persuaded him instead.
In the situation last night, she half-heartedly regretted it when she came back. A large part of the reason for this was that Li Yong did not give a promise to marry the matchmaker, but instead compared her to Song Qijun and the others - oh, this is actually her. The first to compare.
Naturally, she wanted the position of head wife in her heart, but Li Yong didn't respond, so she couldn't help but start to compare the two sides. In the end, she felt that Li Yong was now famous in the Jiangnan area, and as a young hero, he was summoned by the Holy Emperor and had a bright future. Unlimited.
As for her, she is just a daughter of a county magistrate. Even in terms of family background, the Li family where Li Yong lives is deeply rooted in Qiantang. According to her father, their business is getting bigger and bigger now, and their development will naturally get better and better in the future.
The influence of Yu Zhixian in Qiantang is naturally not as good as that of the Li family. If he is promoted in the future, he will probably return to Beijing to become a subordinate officer of the Sixth Department. In Tokyo, he will probably not be as good as Li Yong at that time.
After denying herself, she also denied her father.
Li Yong sighed, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Her self-hypnosis and dwarfing were beneficial from his point of view, but he really didn't want such a girl to lose her self-confidence.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Min'er, do you know why I didn't even consider marrying a wife when I had two concubines?"
"..." Yu Min didn't know, but she also knew that Li Yong was explaining to her at this time, so she listened attentively.
"Sanniang, Qi Jun, and Min'er are all my favorites. Each of you has outstanding qualities, but how can I tell you who is better? It's a pity that it was too late for you and me to confirm our intentions. Otherwise, we You are considered a good match, but now if I directly place you above Sanniang and Qijun, wouldn’t I be failing them?"
Hearing this, Yu Min hesitated to say something, but then thought of Song Qijun's gentle smiling face, and fell silent again.
She was convinced, and even thought that she had vaguely placed herself above Song Qijun in her heart before, but now that she thought about it, she seemed to have no special superiority to Song Qijun except for her family background.
What's more, how she got out now was to escape from marriage, or more accurately, to escape from a "blind date", so that family background is no longer important to her now.
But she looked at Li Yong again, with doubts in her eyes, but it meant that he would only retain the position of the principal wife in the end?
If you see someone you like again in the future, will you take her as your concubine?
He was already the third one, but Yu Min didn't think he would give up just yet.
Even her father has several aunts and wives, and she is used to this. As long as they get along with each other as they do in her own family, she won't have any deep grudges.
Li Yong hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, as long as I can persuade my father, it's not a bad idea. And as long as my father can pass on the incense of the Li family, he doesn't care about me..."
"Besides..." Li Yong smiled again: "Have you ever heard of a saying in Min'er, that is, the Huns are not destroyed, so why should the family be taken care of? That was what the champion Hou Huo Qubing said during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and now the Song Dynasty also has the Liao Kingdom , Xixia's troubles, and peace everywhere.
"Min'er doesn't know that I think about it day and night, pity my people, and have many worries. In my dream the day before yesterday, I also saw the Liao people going south. I, the Song Dynasty, was vulnerable and was trampled under the hooves of the Khitan people. Male The men have been slaves for generations, and the women have been prostitutes for generations, with no chance of success.
"At that time, the character of the Han people will no longer be there, and they will have no choice but to grovel and live an ignoble existence, but they will still teach others how to kill and take possession of others. The more you beg him, the more he will take advantage of you. He will not treat you as a human being, or even treat you as a dog, but you will still have to look at his face. Life is difficult, The pain of death, this was the situation of the people of Song Dynasty at that time."
The more he spoke, the worries and anger in his heart burst out. This was not staged at all.
It is impossible for anyone with some blood to look at some of the operations of the two Song Dynasties and their final outcome without a little resentment.
Yu Min felt a little confused when she heard his words. Although she felt aggrieved, her vision and knowledge were limited, so how could she have thought of this.
Not to mention her, even many knowledgeable people in the Song Dynasty do not think that the Song Dynasty is in danger of overthrowing. Although the Liao Kingdom is extremely powerful and difficult to control, it is impossible to swallow them up in one go.
When Huizong of the Song Dynasty arrived, they also did not believe that the Jin Kingdom could swallow up the Song Dynasty in one go, even though the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty's military strength had been completely exposed in the battle against the weakened Liao people.
Why did the Jurchens do things that no Liao people had done before?
But the Kingdom of Jin really did it. If they say they will destroy you, they will destroy you.
In the Song Dynasty, there have always been two major factions: those who advocate war and those who advocate peace. Among those who advocate peace, there are also those who "force peace through aggression" and those who actively "cede territory for survival."
As for the current emperor Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, he does not belong to any faction. It seems that this time he is going to fight against the Liao Kingdom's southern invasion. However, this is completely forced by the situation and he has to go.
Including the later Battle of Chanzhou, it was Kou Zhun who forced him to fight in person again.
To be honest, Zhao Heng only wanted to develop the country well. If the Liao people did not take the initiative to invade the south, he might not send more troops to the north of the Great Wall.
Later, he had the nerve to consecrate himself to Mount Tai, so that he could be compared with the previous pilgrim kings and heroes, but he lowered the value of this consecration for no reason.
"This... this is just a dream after all, right?" At this time, Yu Min looked at Li Yong's face and took the initiative to hold his hand with some worry. He seemed to comfort but said uncertainly: "Dreams and reality should not be opposite. Of?"
Li Yong closed his eyes, adjusted his mood, and then shook his head and said: "Even so, I can see that the current situation of the Song Dynasty is indeed not optimistic..."
】
Then he looked at Yu Min and said with a forced smile: "Of course, maybe I'm just overthinking it. I only said these words to Min'er alone, so don't let it leak out. Even if it is known to outsiders, it will only You know, my worries are unfounded."
Yu Min felt quite happy when she heard this, and nodded repeatedly. At the same time, she felt the complicated thoughts in Li Yong's heart, but she no longer mentioned anything about his wife.
Although she didn't believe it and couldn't understand what Li Yong said, she felt that he didn't lie to her.
