Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Talking to a Modern Person About the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? _1 Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Talking to a Modern Person About the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? _1 “Compared to the won here, you are, indeed.” Xiao Changyi’s words were very apt.
Her husband really was clever. An Jingxin appreciated it, and her face showed it, smiling warmly, “My world is much more open than here.”
“Hmm.”
“Here still exists the belief that n are superior to won, whereas in my world, n and won are equal.”
“I can see that.”
“I know.” An Jing grabbed one of his hands, playing with his fingers. His hands were much larger than hers, with distinct knuckles and slender fingers, quite attractive. Even if she weren’t particularly fascinated by hands, she found such a pair very pleasing to the eye. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have married into my family, allowing to keep my own surna.”
Xiao Changyi didn’t say anything, just stroked An Jing’s head with his other hand.
An Jing turned around in his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist and looking up at him with a smile, “Don’t you have anything you want to say to ?”
“I do.”
“What?” An Jing imdiately pressed.
“Just be yourself, I’ll protect you.”
An Jing was startled at first, then laughed, “What would you do if you spoil so much that I beco useless?”
“I’ll support you,” Xiao Changyi answered without a second thought.
“Pfft~” An Jing laughed out loud. Once her laughter subsided, she spoke lightly, “Don’t worry, I won’t beco useless from being spoiled by you, because I’ll also protect you. I won’t let anyone bully you, even if I’m spoiled rotten, I’ll still keep the skill to protect you.”
Xiao Changyi didn’t say he could take good care of himself. Instead, just like before when An Jing said she’d protect him, he nodded, “Hmm.”
He knew that she wanted them to move forward together, side by side.
While the two were being affectionate, the voice of the village chief ca in, “Changyi, are you at ho?”
“I am.” Xiao Changyi responded flatly, telling An Jing to stay put before getting up and walking out of the inner room.
An Jing felt that the village chief ant no good, quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and with the help of a wooden stick, also left the inner room.
Pushing aside the curtain and leaving the inner room, she saw Xiao Changyi leading the Jiuping Village village chief into the hall.
“Village Chief.” An Jing greeted politely. After all, visitors are guests.
The village chief glanced at her and, without saying a word, went straight to the seat of honor in the hall and sat down.
An Jing wasn’t too concerned about the order of seating. Instead, she let Xiao Changyi support her as she took a seat on a lower bench.
Seeing An Jing seated while Xiao Changyi was standing, the village chief imdiately frowned, “What is this? Since when does a woman sit while a man stands? An Jing girl, where have your ‘Three Obediences and Four Virtues’ gone to?!”
The ‘Three Obediences and Four Virtues’?
Discussing ‘Three Obediences and Four Virtues’ with soone from the modern age?
If An Jing didn’t hold back, she would certainly have laughed out loud.
It was just how this era was, so An Jing wasn’t angry. She softly dragged Xiao Changyi, whose eyes had turned cold, to sit next to her, and with a polite smile said, “My foot is injured, and I can’t stand for long.”
The village chief had intended to talk with Xiao Changyi with An Jing listening at their side, not minding if she stood there without speaking. But now that An Jing’s foot was injured, standing there continuously was out of the question.
Consequently, the village chief’s face remained stern, “Then you should go back to your room to rest!”
This village chief was heavily influenced by feudalistic thoughts.
An Jing sighed inwardly but replied calmly, “I’d like to go back and rest, but my husband Changyi doesn’t like to talk much. I’m just afraid of neglecting you, Village Chief.”
