In myths and legends, the ancestors of Dajin and Tortoiseshell are two pairs of brothers. Because of disagreements, the two brothers moved with their family, one to the east and the other to the west, and never met again. As their descendants have more and more descendants, the place they live is getting bigger and bigger, gradually forming two countries.

These two countries have undergone dynasties changes, and they are now the Dajin and the tortoiseshell.

There are two versions of this ancient legend. In the Dajin version, the brother was suspicious and greedy, and finally went to the place where the Tortoiseshell Kingdom was. In the tortoiseshell version, the younger brother was weak and incompetent, as timid as a mouse, and finally this younger brother went to the place where the Dajin territory was located.

Literati of the two countries also often wrote poems to elevate their ancestors and bury each other's ancestors by the way. In some folk dramas, this story is often adapted and sung.

But no matter how secretly the people of the two countries slander each other, the tortoiseshell scholars have a faint sense of superiority in their hearts, because they feel that they have a higher status in the country and speak with more prestige.

These celebrities in the tortoiseshell country, who had long been accustomed to talking and talking, came to Dajin and found that the scholars of Dajin really didn't have much momentum and status.

At the food stall, the farmer can actually sit at the same table with the scholar. Even in the teahouse and wine house, these scholars are quiet, and they don't get together to write poems or couplets. There is really no scholar's character.

After several inquiries, they learned that this tea shop was a favorite place for literati in Beijing, and the three of them rushed over. don't know that apart from being quieter and more scholars, this teahouse is not much different from other teahouses.

The same scholars, they are ashamed of the weakness and mediocrity of Dajin scholars, but here is the realm of Dajin, they do not want to say that scholars are bad, so they can only complain about two women.

I don't know that they just said a few words at random. Those scholars who looked mediocre and bully in Dajin unexpectedly slapped up the table inexplicably.

"The mother who gives birth to me is naturally a woman." The elderly man, surnamed Liu, is a celebrity in the tortoiseshell country. Because he is very famous among scholars, he also serves as the teacher of the tortoiseshell prince.

Liu Mingshi arrogantly bowed his hands to the scholar who patted the table: "I wonder what is the point of this little brother?"

"I can't talk about it." The scholar in the green shirt said neither humble nor overbearing. "The old gentleman knows that the man who gives you flesh and blood is a woman, why does he look down on women so much in his words?"

"It is a woman's nature to have children. What does it have to do with what the old man said?" Liu Mingshi said, "Male is yang, female is yin. If a woman does a man's thing, it is the inversion of yin and yang, and sooner or later it will cause chaos in the world. ."

"Mr. doesn't look like someone from my big promotion?" The scholar in Qingshan asked with a smile, "I don't know which country the gentleman is from?"

"Old and talented, he is the youngest teacher of the tortoiseshell prince." Liu Mingshi reserved his identity.

"No wonder, it turned out to be from tortoiseshell country." The scholar in Qingshan smiled brighter, "I am different from your country, and the world will not become chaotic because of a woman's actions. My Majesty is wise and politically clear. There is nothing wrong for the people to live and work in peace."

"Women should stay in the back house to do housework, give birth to children, and show up all day long. How decent is it?" Liu Mingshi did not expect Qingshan scholar to choke people with such words. In all fairness, Dajin is indeed more prosperous than tortoiseshell. But what's the point of being prosperous, a country with no rules makes people feel like a miasma.

"Oh." The scholar in Qingshan suddenly realized, "I didn't know why you are so dissatisfied with my Dajin girl, but now I understand a little bit."

"Why?" asked other scholars from Dajin.

"Yes, tell us quickly."

"Naturally it is jealous." The scholar in Qingshan shook his head and said, "I'm a big Jin girl, Wen Neng writes poems and paints, and Wu Neng kicks the horse. With such a good girl, our men's life in Dajin can be easy. Your country Erlang didn't have such a blessing. He came to our Dajin and was naturally uncomfortable everywhere. I wish we could live the same life as them."

"That's the case." Another scholar in blue shirt shook his head and sighed: "Although the three are not our Dajin people, they are also scholars at any rate. They should be open-minded, and don't be jealous when seeing others doing well. As the saying goes. Well, jealousy makes people ugly. If you are envious of my elders from the Jin Dynasty, you can be a tribute to me. Although you look a little more ordinary, we, the Jin girls, don’t like to judge people by appearance, maybe some people like it. what about you."

"Nonsense!" Liu Mingshi's lips trembled with anger at these words, "You are not ashamed of making women so rampant, it's absurd to be proud of it."

"The three are ridiculous. Don't you have a mother, sister, or daughter?" The scholar said with a sneer, "Watching mother and daughter inferior, but not seeking change, thinking that this is the right way is ridiculous. "

"When you said this, did you think about it for the women in your family?" Qingshan scholar followed, "If you don't protect your mother, you are unfilial. If you don't protect your children, it's unkind. You're unfilial. Those who are unkind, don't talk to us about the yin and yang world, I am ashamed to be ashamed by you."

"You are relying on the large number of people, but it is just relying on the quickness of your tongue." Liu Mingshi was rushed by these scholars to the point that they couldn't even speak back. The other two literati wanted to speak for Liu Mingshi, but they were scolded by these scholars just as they spoke, and they began to doubt their lives and wanted to hide their faces and escape.

What's the matter with these Dajin scholars, they seem to be gentler than the other, and they don't dare to speak too loudly outside, but they scold people so badly?

"What's wrong with a female general in my Dajin? She protects her family and protects the country, and the enemy is not half-faced. What does it have to do with you?"

"Since you look down on our female general, you go to the door of the Hou Mansion and shout, we will never stop you."

"No, you are a dignified man. If you can't see anyone and scold you in person, we can respect you as a man. The three self-proclaimed scholars don't even understand the truth behind others' right and wrong, and are embarrassed. Claiming to be a scholar?" The speaker looked contemptuous, as if saying, "Go away, there is no traitor like you among us scholars," his expression was vivid.

Liu Ming's morale was extremely high, and it took a long time before he shivered and said: "You and other incompetent people can only be running dogs under women's skirts!"

"I want to be a running dog under General Wei's skirt, but General Wei looks down on me."

provoke?

Dajin scholars turned their heads to look at the speaker, an old gentleman sitting in the corner.

"What do you see, who didn't have a fairy in his dreams when he was young?" The old scholar said with a flushed face, "When General Wei was young, he was the number one beauty in Beijing."

"Old gentleman, you are quite honest," said the scholar in blue shirt. "It's okay to think about it in a dream."

All the students roared with laughter. They knew that the "sincerity" in the mouth of the scholar in blue shirt meant that General Wei looked down on the old gentleman. The old gentleman was also angry. Instead, he said with emotion: "Whether it is a man or a woman, not all people The old man did not understand why the three were persistent in the distinction between men and women, but in the old man’s view, General Wei blocked the enemy’s thousands of horses for the people. Even when he was pregnant, he knew that Dajin needed her and the people needed her. Rushing to the battlefield. If my Dajin people point fingers at her because she is a woman, that is ungrateful. A hero is a hero. Why do we need to distinguish between men and women?"

"The one who gave birth to you and the one who raised you is also the woman in your mouth." The old man sneered, "Since you look down on women, please take your life quickly. Don't let this woman give birth to the sex, tarnish your nobleness. soul."

"The old gentleman said it well." The scholars roared, "I think the three are very reasonable, but we are greedy for life and fear of death, and we think it is also good now. The three have such a clear stand, it is better to lead by example to end our lives. Shall we be an example?"

"please."

"Please do it, we are not stopping."

"You, you..." Liu Mingshi said with a pale face, "You don't even know what to say."

After speaking, he raised his sleeves, covered his face in the laughter of everyone, and hurriedly left the teahouse. The two people who came with him saw that he was running, and they rushed to keep up, because they ran too fast and stepped on the corner of the robe, they still rolled twice on the ground.

With such an embarrassed appearance, it is hard to see the elegance of a scholar.

"What kind of dog things, General Wei is also worthy to say." Yao Wenyin's lungs are about to explode. If Yao Songbai was not holding her tightly, she would have picked up the tea cup by the table and smashed it.

"Sister, your Royal Highness is still here, so stay a little closer." Yao Songbai whispered in Yao Wenyin's ear, "Shall we save some face?"

Yao Wenyin, who was overwhelmed, remembered that the prince was still there. She put the teacup back in and laughed dryly. Turning to see that Hua Liuli didn't have any anger on her face, she couldn't help but ask: "The three dogs said that General Wei, as the general's daughter, aren't you angry?"

Hearing the three words "dog stuff", Yao Songbai's expression became a little stiff, and he no longer dared to look at the prince's expression.

"Why should you be angry?" Hua Liuli smiled, "I am not only not angry, but also very happy."

"Do you have a problem with your brain, others slander your mother, you still..."

Yao Songbai stretched out his hand to cover his sister's mouth, and smiled at Hua Liuli: "I'm sorry, the princess, my sister has drunk too much tea, and she doesn't know her clearly.

Yao Wenyin: "..."

She has no trouble with drunken tea.

"Mother guards the people of Dajin, and Dajin people remember her well, isn't it a good thing?" Hua Liuli's eyes swept across the scholars who defended her mother, her eyes gentle.

This time when the scholars ran against the tortoiseshell scholars, they were as aggressive as a tiger. Now the scolding is gone, and the gentle kitten is restored, playing chess, drinking tea, and sighing why General Wei wants to get married so that he cannot be the guest of the curtain.

Who would have thought that these scholars, who seem to be delicate and talkative, would be more fierce than the other when defending themselves?

Yao Wenyin was stunned. The anger in her heart instantly disappeared completely, and she blushed awkwardly and said: "Sorry, I misunderstood you."

"I know that Miss Yao is kind, how can I be angry with you." Hua Liuli smiled softly, very empathetic.

Yao Songbai, who was sitting next to him, sighed secretly, if his sister could be as gentle and quiet as Princess Fushou, the family would be less concerned.

Noting Yao Songbai's eyes looking at Hua Liuli, the prince said: "It's not early, it's time to send the princess home."

Hearing that the prince was leaving, the Yao brothers and sisters did not dare to stay for a long time, and quickly got up and went downstairs with the prince.

Yao Wenyin was wronged by Hua Liuli, and felt a little awkward. Even when he was walking, he was a little unsure, slipped and fell down the stairs when he saw it.

"Miss Yao, be careful." Hua Liuli stretched out her hand to embrace Yao Wenyin's waist in the blink of an eye, "It's dangerous to fall from here."

Lying on Hua Liuli's chest, Yao Wenyin was a little dazed. Only after smelling the faint fragrance of Hua Liuli's body did she realize what had just happened.

"Sister, are you okay?" Yao Songbai paled with fright, rolling up such a high staircase is not a trivial matter.

"I'm fine." Yao Wenyin remembered that Hua Liuli was not in good health, and carefully withdrew from her arms, "Hua, Hua Liuli, are you all right?"

"I, I'm okay." As soon as the voice fell, Hua Liuli coughed fiercely, and when a maid brought pills to her, she slowly recovered.

Seeing her like this, Yao Wenyin felt even more embarrassed. If Hua Liuli hadn't stabilized her just now, it was possible that the two of them would fall together. She is strong and strong, and can last for up to three or five months after a fall. If Hua Liuli is thrown like this...

She glanced at Hua Liuli secretly, blushing and whispered: "Thank you."

"It's just a matter of raising your hand, Miss Yao is welcome." Hua Liuli smiled softly.

Looking at this gentle and tolerant smile, Yao Wenyin's face turned red. Her conscience began to blame herself. Although Hua Liuli spoke a little offensively from time to time, she did not do anything excessive to her, and even rescued her regardless of her own safety when she was in danger.

What's more, at the beginning, it was Hua Liuli who provoke her.

After thinking about this, when she looked at Hua Liuli again, Yao Wenyin felt that although she was weak, she was as beautiful as a bright moon, and she was irritating, but kind and generous.

Obviously he is such a good person, how can I keep having trouble with her?

The prince glanced at Yao Wenyin, and reached out to support Hua Liuli's arm: "Liuli, pay attention to your feet."

Yao Wenyin took a step back silently, she always felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of the prince looking at her.

He heard that when General Wei was young, not only were many Erlang's dream lovers, but also many girls were crying and wanting to stay with her and be her good sisters.

He had forgotten that Liuli was the daughter of General Wei, so it was natural that Qing was better than Lan.

In today's world, not only men can't reassure him, even women are the same.

The author has something to say: Jiamin: There is a traitor among us, traitor!

Tian Shan: Haven't all turned around?
