Chapter 42: Matters of the Heart
However, the awkward atmosphere in this cave seems to be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and after a while, Yang Huiyu said, "Do you think the wound is better?" It is very effective to apply badger oil to the wound. ”
Cao Liangqi said: "You actually know medical skills?" ”
Yang Huiyu shook his head lightly and said, "Actually, I don't know much about medical skills, and the method of using badger oil to heal injuries was given to me by my father." ”
Cao Liang said: "It can be seen that Miss Yang has a very deep affection for Ling Zun. ”
Yang Huiyu said gloomily: "It's a pity that my father died early, I was still young at that time, and I couldn't fulfill my filial piety in front of my knees, I'm afraid it's the biggest regret in my life." ”
"Who else is in Miss Yang's house?"
"My father and brother have passed away, and only my mother and a younger brother who have not yet reached the crown are dependent on each other."
It seems that the younger brother mentioned by Yang Huiyu who is not as weak as the crown is the later famous Yang Hu Yang uncle, although Yang Huiyu's family is a big family, but because her father and brother died early, there is no pillar in the family, orphans and widows, presumably life is difficult.
"I heard that Miss Yang has been married to Sima Taifu's son, Sima Shi, but Sima is a dignitary in the court, how many people can't cling to it, why is Miss Yang unhappy?"
When Yang Huiyu heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning, and her expression became more and more gloomy.
But she didn't ask how do you know, although there is no fanfare about the engagement between the Sima family and the Yang family, but the circle of the upper class and the powerful is so big, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it at all.
What's more, the Sima family didn't intend to hide it from anyone, so although this family affair had just been dowry, it was already well known in the court.
Cao Liang is from the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, and it is not strange to know this kind of news.
She said softly: "Everyone is rich and good, but I don't know that once I enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and those deceit in the deep mansion and mansion, I have seen a lot, and I am disgusted in my heart, I would rather be poor and humble for a lifetime, live an ordinary life in peace and stability, and do not want to enjoy that kind of glory and wealth." ”
Cao Liangqi said: "Why does Lingtang agree to this family business? ”
Yang Huiyu smiled bitterly and said: "This kind of marriage of a big family, where is it our turn to be the master of orphans and widows?" The uncle of the clan is bent on clinging to the Sima family, and the feelings of our mother and daughter will be taken into account. ”
Cao Liang couldn't help but be silent, yes, women in ancient times had no right to claim their own marriage, the words of the matchmaker of their parents, who to marry, they can't be the master, even if their parents pass away, there are uncles and uncles in the clan to make decisions for you.
When they consider the object of marriage, they often proceed from the interests of the family, and whether the marriage is happy or not is not within their scope of consideration.
Yang Weiyu instinctively resists this marriage, in fact, not only Yang Weiyu, any woman hates this kind of marriage, just imagine that only on the night of the candles in the cave room can you see the dignity of the groom, and what kind of love can you talk about?
Those longing for love can only stay in the legend of Zhuo Wenjun selling wine, and can only stay in the poems and songs of Guan Guan Ju Dove.
Especially those ladies in big families, their marriages are often entangled with political interests, and they want to chase love freely, which is tantamount to an idiot's dream.
With Yang Huiyu's identity and status, it is difficult to express any objection to this marriage, but she wants to find someone to talk to about the sorrow in her heart.
That's why she went up to Beibi Mountain, and she came to her father's grave to cry.
Maybe only if her father is alive, these people in the Yang family will not betray her unscrupulously, and maybe only when her father is alive will he care about her, love her, and respect her wishes.
It's a pity that the deceased has passed away, and the father who once doted on her has been buried here, even if her tears are sprinkled on the cold tombstone, she can no longer get half an answer.
After being silent for a while, Yang Huiyu smiled reluctantly, and in the laughter, there was a deep grievance and endless loneliness that could not be erased: "I haven't said thank you yet, the grace of saving my life, I will never forget it, and I will be rewarded if I have the opportunity to do it another day." ”
Cao Liang said: "Miss Yang doesn't have to be polite, when the road is uneven, pull a knife to help, but anyone who knows etiquette and righteousness will do it." ”
Yang Huiyu shook his head and said: "Cao Gongzi is too modest, the world is hot and cold, people's hearts are as dangerous as snakes and scorpions, and people's feelings are as thin as spring ice. Da En didn't dare to say thank you, even if she couldn't repay the kindness of her son in this life, the little girl would definitely repay her in the next life. ”
Cao Liang comforted: "Actually, Miss Yang doesn't have to be sad, I have heard that Sima Ziyuan is handsome and resolute, and he has such a good son-in-law, others may not be envious?" ”
Yang Huiyu said faintly: "Does Gongzi Cao really don't know, or is he deliberately pretending to be confused?" ”
"What does Miss Sheep mean?" Cao Liang didn't expect Yang Huiyu to ask so directly, so he had no choice but to be confused.
Yang Huiyu didn't believe that Cao Liang, as a member of the clan, would not know about the things that were widely circulated in the community, but she was not good at debunking it in person, and said to herself: "It is rumored that Sima Shi's original wife Xiahou Hui did not die of illness, but was killed by Sima Shi, do you think this kind of man who does not let go of his wife will be a good match?" ”
Cao Liang was a little secretly surprised, Sima Shilu's killing of Xiahou Hui should be an extremely secret matter, and there must be very few insiders, otherwise, how could the people of the Xiahou family give up.
Cao Liang knew about this because of the history books, and the history books were written by people after the Jin Dynasty, so naturally he would not shy away from anything.
What he didn't expect was that Yang Huiyu knew about it, and it is conceivable that in the rumors in the market, Sima Shi was portrayed as a wife-killing maniac.
The man who doesn't let go of his wife really can't become a woman's favorite object.
If you really want people not to know, unless you don't do it, even if the Sima family covers it up as much as possible, it will inevitably leak one or two, although there is no direct evidence, but this does not prevent it from becoming a topic of conversation after dinner.
Cao Liang said: "Even if it is a rumor, then I'm afraid it can't be true, I heard that Xiahou Hui gave birth to five daughters for Sima Shi, and he is very affectionate, if Sima Shi even kills his own wife, what is the difference between it and a beast?" ”
Cao Liang's words were clearly to distinguish Sima Shi, but in fact, he was equated with a brute.
To tell the truth, through contact, Cao Liang found that Yang Huiyu was pure and kind-hearted, just like a piece of undusty white bi, thinking about such a beautiful woman, but to marry the cold Sima Shi, it is indeed not a fortunate thing, Cao Liang did not approve of this marriage in his heart.
But then again, even if Cao Liang is against it, is it useful?
