Women dressed as men: powerful officials

I know that sentence is just to fool myself.

I never took the wish to heart.

It was as if she had never actually believed that Shen Renyao was really Shen Renyao.

People, the only person you can trust is yourself.

Everyone else, most of them, can't be trusted.

The two stopped talking and remained silent.

Beiyao didn't know whether Xuyuan believed what he said. He only knew that he probably couldn't say much in front of Xuyuan.

Xuyuan is too smart. If he continues like this, he will be exposed sooner or later.

That night, the two people's minds were in a turmoil, but no one spoke to break the ice.

—

The next morning, when Beiyao woke up, there was no one else around him.

He sat up slowly and then helped himself out of bed.

The aroma of noodles wafted over at this time.

Bei Yao opened the door and went out, only to find that it was snowing outside.

The snowflakes are not big, but they are extremely cold.

Xu Yuan was busy running around by himself. Bei Yao even saw that the clothes he wore yesterday had been washed by Xu Yuan and were hanging under the eaves.

I have to say that making wishes is really diligent.

There is not a single young man in the capital who did not come from a family that lived a life of luxury.

Not to mention washing clothes, some rich young ladies even have people helping them wash their hands, not to mention washing clothes and cooking.

But making a wish is different.

He does a lot of things every day to help out at home.

But even so, the lesson of making a wish has not been neglected at all.

Moreover, Xuyuan is also working hard to learn other things.

He was extremely learned because the teachers in Wenhua Palace were all great scholars.

He doesn't need to worry about what the family eats or what to do, so he has time to do every task to the best of his ability.

But making a wish is different, you don’t have so much time to make a wish.

To be where you are today, one must not only be smart, but also have extraordinary perseverance.

Both are indispensable.

When Xu Yuan turned around, he found Bei Yao standing under the eaves, not saying a word.

I don't know if he was looking at her or at the snow outside.

The capital city is different from Sishui County. There is almost no snow all year round, and there is not so much wind and sand.

So, you're looking at the snow?

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but look at Bei Yao again.

Maybe because he has been in the capital for many years, Beiyao is very white.

It is even whiter than the snow falling in the sky today.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a high nose bridge.

It seems that it is not an exaggeration to use any beautiful words in the world to describe Beiyao.

Maybe it's because the falling snow is beautiful.

And Beiyao is more beautiful.

It was not until the bowl in his hand became somewhat hot that Xu Yuan came back to his senses and called Shen Renyao, "Master Shen, have you never seen snow before? You are so lost in thought."

After hearing Xuyuan's words, Beiyao came back to his senses and explained seriously: "The capital is close to the south, and it hardly snows every year. This is the first time I have seen snowflakes. It is a little different from what I imagined."

After saying that, Beiyao stretched out his hand and caught some snow.

The snowflakes were very light and melted almost instantly when they fell into my hands, leaving only a little water stain.

He made a wish: "In a few days, the snow will be bigger. If you haven't left by then, I will take you to a good place to see the snow."

Bei Yao raised his eyebrows, "Why can't we go now?"

"Because the snowflakes are not big now, it will take another month for the snow to look nice."

At this point, Xuyuan added: "You don't know yet, this is not the first snow."

"Why? I've been in Sishui County for a while, and this is clearly the first snow."

"The first snow, the night you were injured."

After making a wish, he was afraid that the weather would be cold and the bowl would get cold, so he urged, "You've seen enough snow, come inside and eat."

Beiyao did not refuse.

The noodles smell delicious.

Bei Yao couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that you are not only good at literature and martial arts, but also cook delicious food."

Hearing Beiyao's praise, Xu Yuan smiled and said honestly: "I only know how to cook noodles, and basically I don't know how to do anything else."

She was raised as a boy, so naturally she didn't know how to cook, which is something a girl should do.

She learned all these after she went to Beijing.

It was also in the capital that she realized that women did not have to learn cooking and sewing from the moment they were born.

Men don't have to learn farming from the moment they are born.

In the capital, wealthy girls would hardly ever enter the kitchen in their entire lives.

Because there are special people to serve them.

Eating, drinking, bathing, and even going out were all carried in a sedan chair.

I wish to envy them, but never think about becoming them.

Those women are like flowers that cannot withstand the wind and rain.

Once you leave the fertile soil of your family, there is only one way out, and that is death.

She is different. She wants to take her own destiny into her own hands.

"That's enough."

When Beiyao finished speaking, they had just finished their noodles, so Xuyuan took the bowl and went to wash it.

After washing, I saw Beiyao walking around in the yard, looking at something.

Xu Yuan said, "Your wounds haven't healed yet, what are you doing out here?"

Beiyao's wounds are deep.

This kind of wound will only heal completely after at least seven days of bed rest.

Not only did Beiyao not get a good rest, but his wound also split open several times in the past few days.

Today he was still bold enough to walk around in circles in the yard.

Is he not afraid of pain?

Fortunately, I am not a doctor.

Otherwise, seeing his patients not taking care of their bodies, he would have been angry to death long ago.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Bei Yao explained: "Be familiar with the environment and be prepared for any eventuality."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan stopped trying to persuade him.

All the books here had been moved away. Xu Yuan had nothing to do, so he found a chair and sat under the eaves.

Look at the snow.

Not long after, Beiyao sat down next to her.

Xu Yuan said: "Today is already the third day. Is that General Xie reliable?"

Xu Yuan remembered that Xie Xiaocheng vowed to her: "Within three days, even if we have to turn Sishui County upside down, we will find the person."

Now, the three-day deadline is about to arrive, there is no news from Xie Xiaocheng, and Chen Shan has not come either.

"General Xie is reliable. There is no news. It may be because Chen Shan went to Hanzhou and has not returned yet."

Bei Yao watched the snowflakes falling in front of him, and soon, raindrops followed.

He continued: "As long as Chen Shan is alive, he will definitely come."

"What if Chen Shan dies?" Xu Yuan asked.

This possibility is small, but not impossible.

Just like the person in front of me, if I hadn’t been kind enough to save him.

Beiyao is most likely dead.

Even if the yellow sand becomes his grave, his body will never be discovered.

"If Chen Shan dies." Bei Yao paused and added, "Others will come looking for him. You don't have to worry."

Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan held up his chin, slowly looked at Bei Yao, and asked: "Shen Renyao, are you really just the second son of the Shen family? Why do I always feel that you are not the second son of the Shen family?"
