girl riding a horse

Chapter 118
Xie Yuan didn't say a word, it was a tacit agreement.

Xie's father's red eyes immediately burst into tears, he quickly raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears gushing out, and when he looked at Xie Yuan again, he straightened his spine, raised his hand to her with the demeanor of a literati discussing the Tao. Sleeves, arched hands:
"Today there is no father or daughter, no relatives, no dignity, Xie Yun invites little friend A Yuan to have a debate. You can express your own opinions. Even if you can't tell the result, you will never impose it on others!"

Seeing this situation, Xie Yuan was so moved beyond words. Her lips were trembling, and tears flowed down her cheeks like strings of beads. She also imitated her father's appearance, raising her arms high and facing each other.

The two entered the room one after the other, and sat opposite each other at a table.

In order not to disturb their father and daughter talking, Shen Qingzhi sat by the stone table in the yard and waited.As soon as he turned his head, he could just see two figures, one big and one small, in the room through the bamboo curtain.

One was wearing a Confucian robe with large sleeves, the other was wearing a wooden armor with a long sword at his waist, sitting upright.

The two have completely different clothes, but they have the same pride.

Father Xie opened his mouth first, his tone was gentle, and he asked persuasively:

"Why did you leave home? At home, there are warm quilts in the high house, and there are many servants. Although your parents beat and scold you occasionally, they love you very much. You are so determined to go your own way, have you ever thought about filial piety?"

"Although there are tall houses and warm quilts in the family, and there are many servants, but they are all out of ambition. My parents love me very much, but they never take my ambitions to heart. They just want to trap me in a cage. Feather, be a well-behaved and beautiful bird." Xie Yuan said seriously, with complete stubbornness and resistance in his eyes.

She paused, her eyes turned red again, her tone softened, and she said: "The child naturally wants to be filial, but if he obeys his parents' wish, he will surely die in the cage and spend a trip in this world in vain, the child is not reconciled! ...I hope my parents can see me as a man and let me go out and start my own career."

When Father Xie heard her say "in the cage of Yu death", he was very shocked and couldn't help feeling a sharp pain in his heart.He never knew that staying at home was already such a fetter for Xie Yuan.

His eyes shook violently, looking at the eyes of his daughter opposite, he asked again: "What is your ambition?"

"Be the director of what you like, be a general, make indelible achievements, and establish a glorious career!" Xie Yuan said without thinking, with the unique arrogance of young people.

Father Xie closed his eyes, as if helpless, and as if he couldn't see Xie Yuan's innocence and foolishness, he opened his mouth after a while and said:
"But you are a girl, and God doesn't need girls to make achievements. Men are yang and women are yin. Women are naturally weaker than men and lack strength. That's why there is a saying that men are outside and women are inside. For you, cooking Householding, having children, is the real way to do what you are good at... Even if you don’t like it, how can humans go against the way of heaven?”

Xie Yuan frowned and looked at Father Xie, and said:

"When was I good at housekeeping? My child has never been interested in those household chores, and I have never done anything, but I have damaged a lot of things. As for having children...Although my child does not like reading, she has never done anything. I have never heard of people who praise women for their virtues in their lives, but who are good at raising children, is this considered a good thing?"

When Xie Yun heard about it, it brought back the memories of Xie Yuan's mischievous playfulness, which often made the house restless, and also involved his headache and dissatisfaction with Xie Yuan.

He felt that his temper was growing upward, closed his eyes and rested, and then suppressed his temper, saying:

"It's just because it's too commonplace, so I don't mention it. How can it not be considered good at it? Just as men are better than women in physical strength, so all men fight wars, and all generals are men. Every woman is born with it, so women stay at home and have children. You may think that you are good at fighting because you are young and have quick legs and feet, but when you hold ten catties, a man like you can When you lift a hundred catties, you can understand what the law of heaven cannot be violated."

Father Xie looked at her, folded his hands and clapped the backs of his hands, and said anxiously: "A Yuan, why did you come here? All the struggles now are just futile."

Xie Yuan's thick and sharp eyebrows almost stood up, and retorted:

"Even if Dad has never practiced martial arts, he should know that martial arts is not only based on brute force, but also on speed, reaction, agility, and ingenuity. Although a child is not talented, although his strength is small, he still needs to fight against a group of people on the battlefield. Men who are much older than me in strength and age fought to the death, and now I have been promoted to the head of the guard by virtue of my solid military achievements, doesn't that explain anything?"

Hearing this, Xie Yun was suddenly dumbfounded...and asked: "What...what? You...you...have you been on the battlefield?"

Xie Yuan was really surprised to see his father, so he realized it.When she came here, Master had told her that Master searched ten barracks before finding her traces, and brought her here as soon as he found her.

What's going on with her now, father doesn't know anything.

"Yes!" Xie Yuan said categorically, because of her father's shock and disbelief, she suddenly raised many hopes of persuading him.

Xie Yun's eyes were bright, he watched his daughter's mouth half open for a while, and then said to Shen's father outside:

"Brother Shen! Please come in, Xie Yun has something to prove."

Shen Qingzhi had been watching the two of them arguing, although he couldn't hear it very clearly intermittently, but he also heard the general idea, so he knew why it was called him.

So he went straight in and said, "What Yuan'er said is true. When I found her, it was just in time for Ying to award the merits of the last battle. Xie Yuan is now a head of guards who leads 300 people."

Xie Yun said directly: "Brother Shen... You can't have discussed it with her. In order to follow her wishes, you directly made a plan with me and lied to Xie."

Shen Qingzhi frowned, sat aside, and said, "Hey... where did you think, Yuan'er is my apprentice, the future daughter-in-law of my Shen family, if she doesn't have that ability, I will make a plan to keep her in the barracks Why? To cheat myself?"

After he finished speaking, he still seemed a little unconvinced, and asked: "Brother Xie, is Shen so stupid in your heart?"

When Xie Yun heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no... that's definitely not the meaning... just..." He looked at Xie Yuan, and murmured, "How is it possible... I always thought she still Being alive is God's blessing, pity our husband and wife for not letting her catch up with the war..."

"Now that you know, what are you going to do?" Father Shen asked him with a sigh.

Xie Yun pondered for a while, his expression was full of pity and helplessness, and said: "Even if it is true, so what, it's a pity that she is not a son..."

He looked at Xie Yuan, and said with a bitter face: "Ah Yuan, it only takes two or three years before you can no longer hide your identity as a girl. By that time, you will not only win the respect of everyone if you go deep into the military camp as a girl. On the contrary, it will become the laughing stock of others...Have you ever thought about this matter?"
