Chapter three hundred and nineteen white fur in the snow
After sending off Minister Zuopushe Li Feng, Xu Yun also returned to the inner house. He met his wife Ruan. The couple treated each other as guests and chatted politely for a while.
Ruan asked, "I heard that Li Pushe was coming, and I was just about to ask your husband if he would like to prepare some food and wine."
Xu Yundao said: "Anguo (Li Feng) just passed by here, went into the mansion to say a few words and then left. I was recently teaching His Majesty the swordsmanship, and it was Anguo who recommended me, so we talked for a while."
Mrs. Ruan nodded and said, "I don't need to prepare for the luncheon anymore. I'll go do my own thing first."
Xu Yun advised with concern: "There is plenty of silk in the house, so you don't need to weave."
Ruan smiled and said, "Isn't this what women should do?"
Xu Yun sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.
In fact, the relationship between the couple was not so good at the beginning.
Xu Yun still remembered how he felt back then. When he was young, he still had expectations for marrying a wife. He originally thought that he could marry a lady who was beautiful, smart, and well versed in poetry and writing. At that time, he was just thinking about Ruan, whom he had never met.
Twilight thoughts.
The matchmaker also said the same thing. He told the Ruan family very well. He was a virtuous person who knew etiquette and came from a famous family. His father was Jiuqing and his brother was a county governor. The matchmaker didn't lie to Xu Yun. He told the truth, except for his appearance.
Xu Yun thought that all the young ladies should be good-looking, and Ruan had never married before, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Unexpectedly, on the night of the wedding, he discovered that his wife was extremely ugly. He felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and he was frightened and ran away from the wedding room!
Later, his good friend Huan Fan and others persuaded him to use reason and emotion, telling him that marrying a wife is not about sex. First, one must be born, and then be able to have children. Morality, character, and appearance are the least important. Length.
A beautiful woman, considering Xu Yun's family status, is nothing more than a rarity. Isn't it just a matter of taking and asking for it?
Xu Yun listened to his friends' persuasion and was sent back to the bridal chamber by Huan Fan and others. However, he and Ruan blamed each other and did not get back together.
The key is that Xu Yun has not won the argument yet. Mrs. Ruan said that she has the four virtues of a woman, but she lacks beauty, and scholars have hundreds of qualities. How many of them can you meet?
Although Xu Yun can't say it, he still feels that he was not wrong at the beginning!
Of course he knew that marriage was just a union in all aspects and had nothing to do with mutual love. Otherwise, shouldn't he divorce his wife when he got tired of it? Xu Yun was from a noble family, so of course he had to marry a noble woman so that he could form an alliance and strengthen his family.
But on the basis of marriage, what's wrong with expecting your wife to be beautiful? Before the wedding ceremony, men want to get the pleasure of beauty, and women want to improve their status. It's human nature... just like eating.
In order to fill your stomach, otherwise there is no point in eating. But on this basis, don’t you also hope to get pleasure from your mouth and tongue while eating?
Xu Yun was very dissatisfied at first, but gradually he discovered that Ruan was indeed a good wife and that her family was also in a good family. As time went by, he accepted Ruan. Xu Yun hid the regret in his heart, and the two of them now respect each other as guests and get along well.
very good.
Within two days, it was time for the five-day holiday.
It is called bathing holiday. Of course, ministers do not bathe at home all day long. With the service of servants and maids, everyone can bathe every day. There is no need to take a special day off to bathe.
Most of the time, people use the holiday to hold banquets or socialize.
This time it was Xia Houxuan's guest for the Mu holiday again, so of course Xu Yun was going. Xia Houxuan was very popular among the scholars, and some people who could not usually be seen could be seen at Xia Houxuan's banquet, such as Ji Kang.
And Yang Huiyu.
This was the second time Xu Yun saw Yang Huiyu at Xia Houxuan's banquet. It seemed that Yang Huiyu was not very happy, but her brother Yang Hu must have wanted to give Xia Houxuan face. Yang Hu's father-in-law was Xia Houba, and
The relationship between the Xiahou family is very close.
Xu Yun originally wanted to test Xia Houxuan today, but when he saw Yang Huiyu, he couldn't think about it for a while.
Yang Huiyu was indeed very beautiful. Even if she just glanced at her from a distance, her aloof and cold eyes would remain in Xu Yun's heart for a long time.
The white fox fur she was wearing had a certain elegance and solemnity amidst the white snow, which made her smooth and beautiful face even more dazzling, as if she was a noble person from heaven, giving people a feeling that it is hard to get close to them.
a feeling of.
But Xu Yun just likes this kind of woman, who is beautiful enough and poetic enough. The key is that she comes from a noble family.
Xu Yun doesn't like beauties of humble status, because he knows what those women are for, what benefits they are thinking about, and their bodies have long been regarded as goods to be sold. Therefore, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will
An ugly shadow cast over Xu Yun's heart, unable to satisfy his inner longing. At this time, when he was talking about love with them, they were only thinking about the benefits. Wasn't that because he was being stupid?
The key is that in terms of beauty, Yang Huiyu is far better than those singers.
He couldn't help but envied Master Sima, or at least the wedding night when Master Sima had their first marriage. Such a beautiful lady from a wealthy family actually married Master Sima, who had married two wives before. Xu Yun thought of the first time he fell into coma.
, I couldn’t help but feel that the world was unfair.
The wife of Master Sima, who is now a traitor on the run! However, Xu Yun cannot threaten the Yang family because the Yang family still has allies. How can Xu Yun have such power to threaten the Yang family?
Unless Wang Ling falls, when Li Feng, Xu Yun and others gain real power, they can think of a way. Then he asks Yang Huiyu: He wants to be her husband for once!
At this time, Xu Yun could only watch from a distance across the patio.
At this moment, Xia Houxuan came from the north. He bowed to Yang Huiyu first, and then the two said a few words. They were too far away to know what they were talking about.
Could it be that Xia Houxuan also coveted Yang Huiyu? But Xia Houxuan should not be that kind of person, and his wife is not ugly, and he has many beautiful servants and concubines, so he would not treat the Yang family like that.
Xia Houxuan pointed to an open room next to him with a gesture. Yang Huiyu seemed to be very reluctant and actually shook his head and refused. What a powerful woman, she didn't even give Xia Houxuan face! In fact, there were guests and maids walking around in the courtyard all the time.
As long as the door is not closed, it is not a big deal for the two of them to sit in the side room for a meeting. Yang Huiyu's character is really pure and a little pretentious. So they continued to stand on the eaves and talk.
Xu Yun just observed Yang Huiyu being forced, and wondered whether he should go there. The hero saved the beauty and allowed Yang Huiyu to take the opportunity to escape... Of course, he was just thinking about it casually. Xu Yun could not offend Xia Houxuan. On the contrary
, it seems that we can find a way to ask Xia Houxuan for help?
