Chapter 13: The Battle is a One-Way Battle
Born into a family of military generals, Xie Yunshuo has been learning martial arts, boxing and archery since he was a child. He is a leader among his peers and is also gifted and strong.
Jiang Si could dislike his dark complexion and look upon him as an enemy, but to say that he was weak was simply confusing right and wrong and totally unreasonable!
When Qiu Ze said that just now, he saw Jiang Si concentrating on picking out the hairpin and thought she just didn't hear him.
But not only did she hear it, she also looked for opportunities to use it to ridicule him, making it hard to guard against.
She is indeed different from others.
If others are kind and polite, you can pretend not to hear what they say. If there are bad things, you will keep them in your heart, be ignorant and keep the surface peaceful.
But Jiang Si, with her sharp tongue and cold-blooded heart, never cared about others, especially him.
She would not maintain any superficial peace. Everything she heard and everyone she met would be like this: once she found the right opportunity, she would use his weakness as a dart and stab him mercilessly.
He was injured because of his improper sleeping posture yesterday, not because he was weak.
Xie Yunshuo was so angry that he wanted to argue with her, but no matter how he thought about it, after thinking about several words, he felt that they were weak and powerless and had no lethality.
And if you argue with her, it's more like explaining.
Explanations are futile. Instead, there is a sense of humility in begging for others' approval, and an urgent need to prove one's own weakness.
Why did he need to tell Jiang Si that he was in good health and never caught a cold in order to gain her approval?
This made him feel like something was wrong.
After thinking it over, he looked back at her and finally decided to respond to her attack with an attack.
Just like on the battlefield, mere defense will ultimately lead to defeat. Only attack, and stronger attack, can defeat the opponent.
The only way to defeat martial arts in the world is speed.
Xie Yunshuo spoke briefly and attacked quickly, accurately and fiercely.
"If you can walk faster, I won't look so fast. If your legs can't stretch, just take more steps."
Jiang Si stood still, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Xie Yunshuo really didn't get along with her, and after being stabbed by her, he insisted on stabbing her back.
She is the type of person who responds to soft words and not to harsh ones. If he ignores her, she won't pursue him.
But he insisted on coming forward and touching her. Others might be afraid of him, but Jiang Si was not.
In fact, even what he said was not very harmful to her.
Because Jiang Si knew that she was tall among women. She knew that her legs were long but he said they were short. What was there to be angry about?
On the contrary, I feel that his attacks are groundless and only for the purpose of venting his anger, which is cowardly.
Compared to him, her legs were indeed shorter, but so what? She hadn't said she wanted to compete with him.
Jiang Si didn't need to say anything. She just rolled her eyes at Xie Yunshuo and continued walking slowly.
But it wasn't slow, it was just walking at a normal speed, like an ordinary lady from a noble family.
If she didn't walk faster, and Xie Yunshuo kept moving forward, the distance between them would only get further and further away.
It would be wrong for him to walk ahead and leave her far behind on their first day of marriage.
If Jiang Si doesn't change the speed, then Xie Yunshuo must change it. Otherwise, the newlyweds will look like they are in a bad mood, which will be embarrassing for outsiders.
When Xie Yunshuo found that Jiang Si did not respond to him, not because she lowered her head, but because she was unwilling to pay attention to him and did not cooperate with him, he knew that she did it on purpose, but he was forced to slow down and wait for her on the stone path outside the main courtyard.
While waiting, Xie Yunshuo felt a little itchy in his teeth as he watched Jiang Si moving forward at a steady speed.
He had never felt so helpless with anyone before. Jiang Si really seemed to be sent by God to defeat him. No matter whether he ignored her or fought back, she was always superior to him.
Although she was a head shorter than him in stature, she was much more imposing than him. This made the unruly young general, a potential dragon who had the freedom to roam freely in the vast seas and under the sky, feel that he had hit a wall for the first time.
She was like a soft, invisible net that bound him and prevented him from breaking free.
When Jiang Si finally came over, she looked him up and down like she had just done, only more so. Her nonchalant eyes were tinged with contempt.
"General Xie is tall and walks fast, so why do you have to wait here for so long?" Jiang Si asked knowingly, clearly mocking Xie Yunshuo. So what if he walks fast? He still has to wait for her to go in together.
Otherwise, would he go in alone to serve tea?
After saying that, she ignored him and walked straight into the yard. Her slow and leisurely steps looked graceful and elegant.
Xie Yunshuo was watching from behind, and his eyes went dark again.
Because the two of them got up early and went out early, the maid beside Xia Rongyi brought them in first, arranged seats for them, and asked them to wait.
Xie Yunshuo followed in. After experiencing what happened this morning, he felt like a dark cloud was pressing down on his heart, making his entire chest heavy and gloomy.
There seemed to be a dark cloud above his head, making his face look grim, in stark contrast to Jiang Si.
The maids in the main courtyard served tea and snacks to the two of them, walking quietly.
The eldest son is tall and has a stern face. Although he is young, he has an extraordinary bearing because he has fought on the battlefield and has the aura honed by weapons and life and death.
When he wasn't smiling, no one dared to act rashly, especially when he had a sullen face and a look that said "no strangers allowed", which made people feel intimidated and afraid of doing something wrong and getting scolded.
Because everyone knows that Xie Yunshuo is not a gentle gentleman. He is like a sharp stone and has no sympathy for women.
The maids secretly glanced at the new lady again, but saw her sitting upright, drinking tea as if no one was around, and talking to the maids beside her.
She also spoke to the maid in this room: "We came too early. Please tell mother to slow down and not rush."
Her polite words were not tactful, but they were sincere and pleasant to the ears.
In fact, General Xie and Xia Rongyi had already gotten up and packed up, but they just didn't come to sit in the main hall.
The two of them walked through the side of the house and heard Jiang Si's voice.
Xia Rongyi had heard many young women speak, some politely, some tactfully, and some taciturnly and solemnly.
She secretly prefers those smart people who are intelligent, gentle, and speak with caution.
Jiang Si's words were a bit rough, but her tone made people feel inexplicably relaxed. They didn't think about anything, but instead felt different.
When talking to some people who are too smart and smooth, one will be nervous and on edge, for fear that they will miss some mistakes and let others see the joke hidden in their heart.
Therefore, sometimes in interpersonal communication, being able to make people feel relaxed and happy and let down their guard is a rare talent.
Just like Jiang Si, she doesn't need to say anything nice, she just says whatever she thinks. She speaks freely and the obedient people also feel comfortable listening to her.
When Xia Rongyi and General Xie came out, the two younger generations immediately stood up and waited.
Xia Rongyi took a deep breath, and when she spoke, her voice was soft, like a bowl of stewed bird's nest soup with rock sugar, and her smile was kind.
"I told you to wait first."
According to Xia Rongyi's etiquette requirements, she actually thinks that the younger generation should arrive first and wait for the younger generation.
How can it be reasonable for elders to sit in the hall waiting for the younger ones to arrive late?
But you still need to show some consideration as an elder when you speak.
Jiang Si stood quietly and listened with a smile as her mother-in-law spoke.
After just a few words, she felt that Xie Yunshuo's mother had changed significantly. She was gentler than before and had a lowered attitude. She looked like a kind mother who was very easy to talk to.
But she knew in her heart that Xia Rongyi was not such a person.
Jiang Si was a little surprised.
Before getting married, Xia Rongyi was not very warm towards others. But after she got married and moved into the mansion, her mother-in-law became more amiable, which was the opposite of how she treated other people.
No matter why she changed, Jiang Si accepted it all with a smile. Even if it was acted out or fake, being willing to act was also a kind of sacrifice.
Jiang Si is a person who can clearly distinguish right from wrong and can deal with things based on facts. If others are nice to her, she will be nice to others.
If others are fake, she will be fake; if others are sincere, she will be sincere too.
It is better to see the smiling face of your mother-in-law than an unattainable noblewoman.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "I just got here not long ago."
General Xie listened to them talking from the side. Seeing that his eldest daughter-in-law had a clear voice and was graceful and elegant, it was no wonder that she received praise from the emperor.
If she could get along well with Xie Yunshuo, the general's mansion would not treat her unfairly.
But when Xie Xingxiu looked at Xie Yunshuo again, he found that although he looked quiet, there was actually something different about him compared to usual.
He knew his son was in the frivolous state of youth, full of energy and a hot temper. He himself was like a firecracker in his youth, and no one could calm him down when he got angry. Xie Yunshuo was somewhat like him, but not completely.
He also has his mother's proud and strong side.
He looked like he was upset about something.
Xie Xingxiu couldn't help but feel a little worried about the young couple.
Just as Xie Yunshuo himself said, his ideal wife should be gentle and considerate, just like a sharp dagger needs a solid scabbard so that both parties will not be hurt.
A sharp-tongued woman like my daughter-in-law would also be better off finding a gentle man as her husband, so that the couple can be like the harmony of yin and yang.
When Xie Yunshuo and Jiang Si get together, one of them must be higher and the other lower.
With Xie Yunshuo's personality, how could he be content with a low position?
However, as a father, it is not easy for him to interfere in the relationship between his son and daughter-in-law, so he can only let them slowly adjust to each other.
At this moment, General Xie had no idea who the dagger and scabbard he was thinking of corresponded to.
He also didn't expect that the person who could tame a wild horse was not a horse trainer who just spoke softly.
Only those who are not afraid of bumps and dangers, who are more determined, bolder, and have the courage to be the owner can become the owner of a wild horse.
Moreover, a sharp dagger will become sharper when it encounters a hard whetstone.
He couldn't hurt her, but instead they could achieve mutual success.
At this juncture, because everyone in the mansion would be arriving soon, Xie Xingxiu reminded Xie Yunshuo.
"Yun Shuo, when we meet the elders later, you should take care of Jiang Si."
"I understand." Xie Yunshuo replied.
Thinking that he would be taking Jiang Si to meet his uncles, aunts, cousins, and sisters later, he temporarily suppressed the depression in his heart and forgot about those things.
It was strange. It was just a small matter, but his emotions were easily affected by her.
