Today, Meng Shu is completely famous in the capital, and everyone has mixed praise and criticism for her.
Some people think that one of her daughters actually went to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Although it did not violate the national law, it was inconsistent with etiquette. It had been a long time since a woman in the Zhou Dynasty had done such an outrageous thing.
The key point is... a girl from her family actually killed someone, and even chopped off the head of the Xiqiang prince to receive the reward. She was very courageous, it was really terrible.
If my son marries such a daughter-in-law, if there is an argument, he may be beaten, or at worst... he may lose his life.
Some people despise Meng Shu, but some people admire her extremely, thinking that she is a hero among women and a rare and rare woman in the world.
What a blessing it would be for my son to marry such a girl!
The bamboo slips represent the green smoke rising from the ancestral graves, the blessings accumulated over several lifetimes.
Of course, those ladies who usually behave well were the most excited. It turns out that there are really women in this world who are no worse than men.
With Meng Shu here, who would dare to say that their women are inferior to men in the future?
Who dares to say that a woman with long hair and short knowledge is only worthy of living in a house, caring for her husband and raising children?
However, most of these young ladies who wanted to have a relationship with Meng Shu were hindered by their families.
It is one thing for these people to admire Meng Shu, but it is another thing to allow their daughters to interact with Meng Shu.
After all, many people are still worried that their daughters will become like Meng Shu and find it difficult to get married.
What's more, my own daughter is not as good as others. Don't start dancing with swords and guns within a few days of being in contact with Meng Shu, but she is not the same material, but has learned something else.
It’s better to give up on this idea as soon as possible!
Seventeen people invited Meng Shu to the Yunhua Building, but in the end, only ten people were left to send messages to the Meng family.
The enthusiasm in the hearts of the other girls was extinguished by the elders in the family.
"Ten families are not too many, and most of them are from high-ranking families. It seems that these sisters are quite powerful. They beat the elders in the family!" Meng Wan said with a smile.
"Going to all ten families?" Meng Shu was a little confused.
She actually doesn't like to deal with others, tell lies, and do things to deceive others.
A waste of time!
With this skill, she might as well stay in the house and practice swordplay.
"Go, go, I'll go with my eldest sister then!" Meng Wan held Meng Shu's hand and said with a smile.
She has a lively temperament and is quite familiar with the ladies of the capital.
"Eldest sister will be responsible for drinking tea and eating fruits then. Leave everything else to me. If eldest sister finds it interesting, we will stay a little longer. If you find it boring, just go back home early."
Meng Wan laughed as she spoke: "Since I returned to the capital from my eldest sister, the people who invited her to be guests were all relatives at home. It's rare for so many people to invite my eldest sister to visit us. We just happened to be out for a walk, so we treated it as a guest. Learned a lot.”
"Well, this is my first time to invite you. If I refuse, it would indeed be a bit unkind. Most aristocratic families in the capital are polite to each other, and we can't let others think that our young lady from the Duke's Palace is aloof and difficult to get along with. Then go ahead." Meng Shu nodded. nodded.
Even if she doesn't think about herself, she still has to think about her family.
What's more, there is still the second sister here.
This little girl seems to be someone who likes to socialize very much. With her around, she can also worry a lot.
In the afternoon, Meng Shu was invited to Songheju by her grandmother.
The old lady was busy talking about Buddhism during the day. She had just heard about her granddaughter not long ago, so she naturally wanted to have a few heart-to-heart words with her.
"Those Xiqiang people have bullied us. If you don't fight back, our Meng family will definitely be ridiculed by others, and even the entire Zhou Dynasty will be despised by the Xiqiang people. You are right to do this, don't worry "Grandma didn't call you here to scold you!"
The old lady held Meng Shu's hand tightly: "Grandma knows that you have been different from ordinary daughters since you were a child, and your desires are also different. You were able to come back to get married in peace and contentment before, all because of your filial piety and for It’s for the sake of the family, but now...just go ahead and do whatever you want, grandma will do her best to protect you.”
Meng Shu never expected that her grandmother would say such things.
She thought her grandmother would tactfully remind her to be calmer and not to do anything outrageous.
Unexpectedly, things turned out to be completely opposite to what she thought.
"Your mother and I have discussed it. From today on, we will no longer look after you or discuss marriage. That's it for this year. After all... there are too many people in the capital staring at you. Next year, let's see what happens next year." After things calm down, let's go to Guiyun City together. If you want to be your female general, go ahead. If you want to get married in a few years, just choose a son-in-law from the army. "
Although, the old lady feels that it is a pity that her granddaughter has taken this path.
But who makes children like it?
What she did today was indeed a bit bolder, and she didn't even leave herself a way out.
As an elder who had loved her for many years, the old lady could not bear to be harsh and she only wanted her granddaughter to be happy for the rest of her life.
"Thank you, grandma. It's your granddaughter who has let you down!" Meng Shu knelt in front of the old lady.
"Get up!" The old lady stretched out her hand to help her up: "There is no need to say anything else. We are a family, and of course we must advance and retreat together."
What Meng Shu didn't know was that today the entire capital, from the Queen Mother and the Emperor to the common people, were talking about her.
As most of the Western Qiang delegation were injured, they did not enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but stayed in the guest house arranged for them by Honglu Temple.
This Concierge Courtyard was an official residence prepared by the imperial court for envoys from various countries who came to visit them. It was responsible for the food and accommodation of these envoys.
"The Ai family really didn't expect that this daughter of the Meng family would act so boldly, without caring about the Ai family or the court at all. No matter how hateful the Xiqiang people are, they were invited by the Ai family to come to the Zhou Dynasty. The Celestial Empire does not treat guests well. If word spreads about this, it will make those small countries in the Western Zhou Dynasty laugh at us, saying that we have no ambition and magnanimity!" The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with this.
Beating a dog depends on the owner.
These people were invited by her.
Meng Shu's move was simply a slap in her face.
"How can a yellow-haired girl know the plans of the Ai family? Isn't she just reminding the Ai family that they don't need to be afraid of the Western Qiang Kingdom with her boastful talk? The queen mother of the Ai family needs her to remind her? Jian is the first to do everything." The queen mother The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and his face became very ugly.
"Mom, please calm down. This little girl is indeed a bit daring in the movie, but the princess of Xiqiang was too arrogant and domineering today. One moment she was shouting at Miss Shen, and the next she was targeting Meng Shu. Thanks to Meng Shu's skill Well, he is also powerful, otherwise I am afraid that I will die at the hands of that Tuoba Kelan today. If this matter gets out, our great Zhou Dynasty will lose face and be ridiculed. "
King Wei said with a smile: "What's more... if the eldest daughter of the majestic Duke died in the hands of a foreign race at the feet of the emperor, how could we explain it to all the people in the world? How could we explain it to Meng Huaiyuan who was far away in Guiyun City? ? Mother, don’t be angry, the outcome is settled now!”
