Luoyang Brocade Chapter 78: Intention


After Ling Jingshu finished speaking, the carriage was silent.

Ling Jingyan listened blankly, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but she finally didn't open her mouth.

Jiang was also shocked by Ling Jingshu's words. After a long while, she sighed and said: "Ah Shu, which woman is willing to compromise? Which woman is not willing to grow old with her husband and be a couple for the rest of her life?"

"But this world is never fair to women."

"Ordinary people, mostly because their families are poor, cannot afford to marry a second wife, so they spend their whole lives guarding their wives. But among those who are from richer families, how can they only stay with their first wives? They must not leave those beautiful concubines. Carry it home. Those noble sons of the royal family are not yet adults, but they have beautiful and considerate maidservants around them. After marrying the first wife, it is a good story to take in concubines and raise wives."

"It is the greatest blessing for a woman to meet a man who treats his wife well and does not pamper his concubines and destroy his wives."

"It's okay to talk to us in private about what you just said. But in the future, you must not mention it casually in front of others. Otherwise, you will get the reputation of being arrogant, wanton and ignorant of the importance of things."

"I know these words are not pleasant to hear, but they are all spoken from the bottom of my heart. I hope you won't be unhappy after hearing them."

Jiang finished his words with great sincerity.

The smile on Ling Jingyan's face completely disappeared, her head lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Ling Jingshu smiled at Mrs. Jiang: "My cousin-in-law is so sincere and sincere, all for my own good. I am touched and grateful. How can I be unhappy?"

Before Jiang could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued: "It's just that I don't agree with what my cousin said."

Chiang: "..."

Ling Jingshu’s face was calm and her expression was peaceful. The words he spoke were sonorous and powerful: "It is precisely because there are so many injustices to women in this world that as a woman, you must have self-respect, self-love, self-reliance, and self-reliance."

"No matter what others think or do, in short, I will stick to my own ideas. When I meet the person I fall in love with, we will grow old together. If I don't meet such a person, I would rather be alone. Never marry!"

Jiang took a breath. My heart was filled with shock.

Ling Jingshu is not only smart and decisive, but also very perseverant and stubborn among women. She has three obediences and four virtues. He didn't take it seriously at all, it was simply considered deviant.

With such a temper, I'm afraid you will have to suffer a lot in the future.

But for some reason, she also vaguely envied and admired Ling Jingshu.

How dare you say such words. How much courage does it take? !

Ling Xiao, who had been sitting silently next to Ling Jingshu, suddenly opened his mouth: "Ah Shu is right. If I meet a woman I like in the future, I will treat her wholeheartedly and will never be half-hearted."

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly, took Ling Xiao's hand and said affectionately: "It's best for A Xiao to think so."

Ling Xiao raised the corners of his lips and smiled cleanly and purely.

......Jiang looked at the pair of siblings. I didn't know what to say at all, so I simply stopped talking.

Probably because this topic was a bit heavy for everyone, no one said anything during the whole journey. Each has their own concerns. Everyone has their own thoughts.

Ling Jingshu was not affected at all and quickly turned her head. Looking out at the street through the thin bamboo curtains. Later, I felt that I couldn't see clearly enough, so I simply lifted a corner of the car curtain.

Fortunately, the carriage was not moving slowly, and the curtains were only raised a little, exposing at most the neck and chin.

Before the pedestrians could clearly see the face of the girl in the carriage, the carriage had already moved away smoothly and quickly.

......

An hour later.

The carriage left the main gate of the imperial city and entered the outer city.

The streets are still flat, but a little narrower than those in the inner city. There were more people on the streets. The speed of the carriage also slowed down.

Ling Jingshu didn’t want anyone to see her face, so she lowered the bamboo curtain.

Ling Jingyan couldn't hold it in for long, so she opened her mouth to break the silence: "A Shu, what have you been looking at for so long?"

"I'm looking at Luoyang City." Ling Jingshu said with a smile: "Looking at the streets and pedestrians in Luoyang City, looking at the shops, hawkers, and the waiters shouting and greeting customers... Luoyang City is indeed prosperous. Looking at it from this way, Everywhere you look is bustling with people, but there is no secluded place."

Ling Jingyan felt a sense of pride in her heart: "Of course. However, sitting on the carriage and watching is just a quick glance at the flowers, which is not interesting. Later, when we arrived at the Huichun Hall, we put on our curtains and got off the carriage. You might as well go to the nearby Nanshi for a stroll. It’s really lively there..."

"Ayan, I'm afraid this is wrong!"

Ms. Jiang hurriedly stopped us: "Before we left, my mother-in-law specifically told us to go back after seeing the Huichun Hall. Nan City is mostly populated by ordinary people, and there are many people with many eyes. Once we show up, what if? What to do if you cause trouble."

Ling Jingyan smiled disapprovingly and said: "Sister-in-law, we have brought so many guards and maids out. Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that they are the women of a wealthy family. Ordinary people will not be able to hide in time, who will come to provoke us."

"But..."

"Besides, as long as we don't say anything when we go back, how will my mother know that we went to Nanshi."

Jiang still looked hesitant.

Ling Jingyan reluctantly gave in: "Let's do this! We won't visit those satin and rouge shops. We will only go to the most famous Dingxiang Building in Nanshi for lunch. We will go back immediately after eating. This is fine!"

Ms. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you really going to leave after eating?"

Ling Jingyan nodded seriously.

"Okay! After we get to Huichun Hall, we will go to Dingxiang Tower." Jiang finally agreed.

Ling Jingyan carefully concealed the joy in her heart. But he couldn't hide the shining light in his eyes.

Ling Jingshu's heart moved quietly.

Ling Jingyan tried her best to persuade Jiang to go to Dingxiang House in Nanshi... What is so special about this Dingxiang House?

Ling Jingyanwu didn’t know that she had exposed her flaws~IndoMTL.com~ smiled excitedly: “Ah Shu, you are in for a treat at noon today. There are many restaurants in the southern city, which are more famous than those in the inner city. Especially this one. Dingxiang House has hired several famous chefs from all over the country with huge sums of money. Different new dishes are launched every month, and the business is very good. Many noble men living in the inner city also like to go to Dingxiang House. "

"I also heard my husband mention it." Mrs. Jiang took over the conversation with a smile: "Those supervisors from the Imperial College will also go to Dingxiang Tower to eat and drink. Today we go to Dingxiang Tower, and maybe we will meet some acquaintances. Here!"

When she heard the word acquaintance, Ling Jingyan's eyes flashed with hope.

Ling Jingshu’s heart suddenly became clear!

Ling Jingyan pestered Sun about going out yesterday, and today she dressed up carefully and insisted on going to Dingxiang Tower... All these abnormalities converged into an obvious fact.

Ling Jingyan once met a boy who made her heart beat in Dingxiang Tower!

This time she tried her best to go to Dingxiang Tower again, hoping to see that person again.
