Chapter 157 Two Lonely People(1/2)
After drinking chicken soup, eating tea, and filling herself up, Dao Hua didn't want to move anymore, and huddled in front of the stove and roasted leisurely.
It's still a little early now, and there's still some time before dinner.
Daohua can sit still, but others cannot.
"It's boring to stay in the house. Let's go out for a walk. I just saw it. There seems to be a martial arts training ground in the palace. Let's go there and take a look?"
Yan Wenkai said loudly.
Seeing that Daohua was not interested at all, Xiao Yeyang waved his hand directly: "You have to go alone."
"No, it's boring for me to go alone." As he said that, Yan Wenkai hurriedly looked at his elder brother, hoping that he would accompany him there.
It's a pity that Yan Wenxiu is just a weak scholar and is not interested in the fact of wielding swords and guns. He shrugged to Yan Wenkai and said that he didn't want to go either.
Yan Wenkai had no choice but to turn his eyes to his uncle.
Li Xingnian smiled: "I'll go with you." It just so happened that he also wanted to see what the royal martial arts training ground was like.
Yan Wenkai immediately became happy and pulled Li Xingnian out of the house.
As soon as the two left, the room became quiet.
Xiao Yeyang rarely took the initiative to ask: "There are many books in my study, do you want to take a look?"
Daohua became interested: "Do you have a storybook?"
Yan Wenxiu immediately said: "Didn't Mom say she won't let you read the script?"
Daohua pouted, then stood up and shrank back.
Although she doesn't like to be controlled too much, she still has to give some face to the cheap brother outside.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang was a little amused and looked at Yan Wenxiu: "What I'm talking about here are basically some customs and travel notes, so it doesn't hurt to take a look."
Yan Wenxiu didn't say much.
Xiao Yeyang winked at Daohua and motioned for her to follow quickly.
Daohua immediately stood up again and raised her eyebrows, as if to say, 'You are really on the right track.'
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang felt happy and took the two of them to the study with a smile.
"Wow, you have so many books here!"
Entering the study room, Daohua was shocked by the rows of bookshelves throughout the room.
You know, this is ancient times. There were no printing presses in ancient times. Books are very precious. It would take a lot of energy to collect such a large room of books.
Of course, then again, it’s not surprising that there are so many books in the royal palace here.
Daohua looked past the rows of bookshelves, turned back to Xiao Yeyang and asked: "With so many books, how many have you read?"
Xiao Yeyang pointed to the first few rows: "I have read all the books on the art of war and the geography of mountains and rivers."
Daohua was slightly shocked. She didn't expect Xiao Yeyang to have read so many books.
Next to him, Yan Wenxiu also looked amazed.
The strength of a family can be seen from the collection of books at home. For example, the Yan family’s accumulated books are not enough to fit on the two bookshelves here.
Even if he studies hard, his knowledge reserve is not as good as that of other students.
After that, Daohua went to find the storybook she liked.
Yan Wenxiu and Xiao Yeyang picked up a policy book and started discussing it.
At this time, Yan Wenxiu was shocked to realize that the young prince, who majored in martial arts, had so much knowledge and knowledge, and many of his arguments and insights were very novel and unique.
This time, Yan Wenxiu realized more clearly his shortcomings in knowledge.
In the past, he always felt that he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but after getting acquainted with the young prince, Dong Yuanxuan, Zhou Chengye and other young people, he discovered that there are people outside the world.
The reason why he was outstanding before was because the environment he lived in was only a very small circle. Once he got out of the circle, he discovered that the world is so vast and there are so many talented people.
After discussing with Yan Wenxiu for a while, Xiao Yeyang found that Daohua was messing with his chessboard, so he immediately put down his strategy and let Yan Wenxiu see it for himself, while he walked towards Daohua.
"What, you can also play chess?"
When Daohua was checking whether the chess pieces were made of jade, Xiao Yeyang's joking voice came from above her head.
Daohua raised her head and saw Xiao Yeyang looking at her with a half-smile but not a smile, with a look that said, "Why pretend to understand if you don't understand?"
"Who said I can't do it anymore?" The tone was a bit lacking.
Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows: "Really? Then let's play two games?"
"Come just come, who is afraid of whom?" Daohua sat down directly.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang also sat down.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's confidence, Daohua felt a little unsure. She knew how to play backgammon, and it was also a way to pass the time for entertainment. She thought for a while: "I will set the rules of chess."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and made a very gentlemanly gesture of invitation.
Soon, Daohua explained the rules of backgammon.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "So simple? I thought you were going to tell some complicated rules!"
Daohua: "..." She suddenly had a premonition that she would be tortured miserably.
This is indeed the case.
Yan Wenxiu sat aside with a book and glanced at the two of them from time to time.
Then, he saw that his sister's face was getting darker and darker, while the smile on the young prince's face was getting more and more, and the proud look on his face was a bit dazzling to him.
"I don't want to play anymore. It's so boring!"
After being killed in more than a dozen games in a row, and dying soon after the start of each game, Daohua began to wonder if her IQ was low when looking at her results.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua's stinky face and touched his nose.
It seems that I have played it before!
Should he let her go?
Xiao Yeyang thought for a while and said: "You play chess without any rules and do whatever you want. It's strange that you can win. Come on, let me teach you how to play."
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was no longer so proud, Daohua turned her attention to the chessboard again.
"Don't take this step, you have to go like this..."
"Stop, when playing chess, you have to look at three moves at a time, or even further. If you play here, I can block you with two more stones. Do you see it?"
Listening to Xiao Yeyang's nagging, Daohua found it quite interesting. You and I had one piece, and the chessboard was almost filled up.
"Are you going to the provincial capital tomorrow?"
After Daohua was able to master it on her own, Xiao Yeyang began to talk about other topics.
Daohua nodded: "Yeah."
Xiao Yeyang: "When will you come back?"
A drop from the rice flower: "After the Lantern Festival."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang suddenly fell silent, thinking that he thought that he would spend the Lantern Festival alone, Daohua thought for a while and said: "In my hometown, whenever I felt lonely, I would make myself busy, and I would be busy."
, you won’t think about those messy things.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyes to look at Daohua. He saw that her attention was on the chessboard, and it seemed that what she just said was just casual.
This guy... actually learned how to play riddles with him.
However, was she trying to comfort herself just now?
Xiao Yeyang dropped his son and blocked Daohua's path. When he saw her pouting, he immediately smiled and said: "Don't you still have your grandmother with you in your hometown? Do you still feel lonely?"
Daohua did not raise her head, staring at the chessboard closely: "Of course."
Traveling from modern times to ancient times, how can others experience the feeling of spiritual loneliness?
Her grandmother was very kind to her, and her three uncles and three aunts were also very considerate to her, but the huge generation gap that spanned time and space was still clearly visible between them.
Most of her thoughts and concepts are not suitable for this era.
In order to live a good life and integrate into this era, she can shrink herself up, but human thoughts cannot be wiped out. Over time, the sense of spiritual loneliness will firmly surround her.
After being suppressed for a long time, there will be resistance.
When she was in her hometown, the people she interacted with were relatively simple and kind, and the interests involved were not many, so she lived quite comfortably.
But after she came to her parents, as more and more people were around her, various interests were constantly involved, and some opinions were contrary to her thoughts. She didn't want to be assimilated, so she couldn't help but want to resist.<
/p>
As a result, a series of things happened in which she contradicted her biological father and disrespected her elders.
Opposite me, Xiao Yeyang was suddenly startled. He seemed to really see loneliness and loneliness in Daohua's eyes.
Daohua's emotions went away quickly: "Everyone has emotions and desires. Who can't be frustrated at times? At this time, you can't let yourself stay in such bad emotions. You have to learn to release them."<
