Chapter 636

Xie Yuan said:
"It's fine if I'm good at taking care of the back house, but I'm clearly good at martial arts and have no interest in the back house, so why do I have to be stuck in the back house to be considered a girl? "

Mother Xie watched her daughter's eyes flicker, as if she was in a rage, she held back her anger, and said to the busy servants in the hall:
"You all go out first, take Yu'er out as well, and let us talk for a while."

Everyone hurriedly held the things in their hands and retreated one after another, leaving only Xie Yuan, Shen Liuzhen, and Xie father and mother.

After a while, Mother Xie said in a more peaceful tone:

"You always have your fallacies. This has been the duty of women for thousands of years. You insist on twisting the world and doing things that shock the world. I don't know what good it is for you? You have suffered Yes, I was scolded, and in the end I hit the south wall with nothing... I thought you knew you were wrong, and you will change it in the future..."

These words were also expected by Xie Yuan, but when she really heard her own mother say it, she was much more sad than she imagined.

She lowered her eyes, and asked sullenly for a long time: "Father and mother, I hit the south wall as you expected, and I lost badly. You are right, you won... You are so lucky for this!" At that time, did you ever think that you were stabbing a knife in your daughter's heart?"

Xie's father and Xie's mother were both shocked, watching Xie Yuan's eyes widen for a long time, speechless.The atmosphere was dull and scary.

Looking at such a scene, Shen Liuzhen's eyes flickered violently, hesitating whether to say something or not.

Father Xie finally patted the table and said angrily:

"Your parents are glad that you finally don't have to suffer anymore, are you glad that your head is bleeding?! How can you be so ignorant!"

"Does this make a difference to me?" Xie Yuan said immediately, with suppressed anger, "Which rights and achievements in this world can be obtained without suffering? A bird in a cage does not need to suffer, but it There is no freedom of movement, and even what to eat is decided by others.”

Xie mother was about to shed tears and said:
"You mean...we treat you like a bird? A Yuan, when did your parents treat you badly? If we didn't love you so much, you would treat you like this now." Parents talk?

You go and ask other aristocratic families what kind of life they are: if your parents say one, they can't say another, they have to obey, otherwise they will be served by the family law until you bow your head and answer.Everything from what clothes to wear to how to walk are strictly regulated.

How is your life compared to theirs?
We let you practice martial arts to protect yourself, let you argue back with your parents... just like that, are we still restricting your freedom? ! "

Xie's mother looked at Xie's father, clutching her chest in grievance, and asked him:
"Qilang, did you hear that, this is our daughter who was taught by Mrs. Xie, she has a rebellious head, and she doesn't even teach basic filial piety, her parents' kindness to her is harming her!"

There was another unspeakable silence, with sorrow everywhere, Shen Liuzhen said cautiously:

"Teacher, teacher's wife, A Yuan didn't mean that."

"Shut up, I'm listening to you sow discord!" Xie Yuan scolded him with a suppressed voice.

Father Xie was silent at first, because he knew what Xie Yuan meant. Since ancient times, if you want to achieve a career, no one has worked hard. The stability of a woman in the back house depends on the hard work and status of a man outside.

When the men live well, the women in the back house will eat and dress better. If the men are not capable, the women in the back house will eat chaff and swallow vegetables. This is indeed very similar to the house sparrow.

There is nothing wrong with this statement, it's just that people in the world demand men by making contributions and making money to support their families, and they never demand the same from women.

It's just that these words came out of the mouth of a woman named Xie Yuan...it was very strange.

That's why he didn't say a word when Mrs. Xie complained to him.

But when he heard Xie Yuan scolding Shen Liuzhen, he couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately said angrily:

"Xie Yuan! How come you are like a cricket, fighting with everyone! Liu Zhen speaks for you and you fight?! I take back what I said just now, and said that you have grown up and cultivated, you have a fart's discipline!"

all quiet...

Father Xie scolded with such a metaphor, which was a little humorous, but it dissipated the previous tense atmosphere a lot.

In addition, Xie Yuan also knew that her parents were already extremely enlightened in this world, so she felt a little guilty.He eased his tone and said:
"Father and mother, I know that you are doing it for my own good. It's not that I don't know what is good. When I come back this time, I know that we will quarrel again, and we will definitely not get along. But... Confucius said: Gentlemen are harmonious but different. Since I won’t talk if I don’t get together, no matter what I decide to do or how to live, you are my dearest people, and this cannot be changed. Let’s... each hold his own, and do our own way.”

There was another silence...

Shen Liuzhen looked at the expressions of the people, and saw that their thoughts were visible to the naked eye, some were dissatisfied, some were angry, some were moved and compromised.

Shen Liuzhen turned his sparkling eyes, pretended to clear his throat, and said pitifully:

"...Teacher, teacher's wife, I'm hungry."

"Hey... It's okay, it's rare to come back, don't talk about these unhappy things, madam. A Yuan has been stubborn since she was a child, and it's not the first day. Don't worry about it, she's going to get married soon, Liu Zhen doesn't have any objections, so we have nothing to worry about." Father Xie persuaded Mother Xie.

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he quickly nodded to Xie's mother's eyes and said:

"Yes, teacher's wife, don't worry, I'm happy with whatever Ah Yuan wants to do, and I will never treat her badly."

Mother Xie frowned with a sad face, and she relaxed when she saw it, and reached out to exchange a dish in front of Xie Yuan's eyes, and said with some reluctance:
"Be nicer to Liu Zhen in the future, don't yell at him at every turn. There is such a wonderful thing as you in the world, and it is rare to have such a wonderful thing as Liu Zhen to match. If you scold him and run away, you will be lonely for the rest of your life!"

Shen Liuzhen laughed, the dimples on his face sweetly said coquettishly:
"Master...why doesn't it sound like I'm being praised, Liuzhen is wronged."

Mother Xie took a look at Shen Liuzhen, and then laughed.When she was not sad or crying, she was always gentle and firm.Then he shouted to the servants waiting outside the door:
"Come in, people from outside, and ask again if the dishes are ready. Eat..."

"Yes."

……

……

It's rare that Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen didn't have any errands, so this time they stayed at Xie's house for a few more days.

Xie's family has taken in many students, and the school of their family is much more lively than when they were young.

Sometimes, if Father Xie had official business, the two of them would replace Father Xie as the children's substitute teachers, Liu Zhen would teach poetry and etiquette, and Xie Yuan would teach horseback riding and archery...
