A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!

Chapter 276 Couple's Night Chapter Yu Sheng

To avoid attracting too much attention, Xiao Yuan and his group had moved to a small courtyard that the scouts had rented in advance.

Jiang Xinyu painted herself a little uglier and has been going out frequently these past few days.

Compared to Beijing, the people of Sichuan and Chongqing are much more welcoming to girls.

Everywhere you look, you see young women and housewives setting up stalls, all of them cheerful, talkative, and without any awkwardness.

It is also common to see brightly dressed ethnic minority girls adorned with silver ornaments passing by on the street.

Perhaps because they've learned their lesson too many times, the men here all seem to have honest eyes.

Even if the girl was dressed scantily, he would only glance at her briefly before turning away.

It's rare to see a group of idle, dissolute men in the capital city who can't wait to stare at a pretty girl.

Xiaodie also felt that the young men here were more upright than the men in the capital. Some Miao girls even showed their arms and legs, but those men didn't even give them a second glance.

Jiang Xinyu chuckled, "You're overthinking it. All crows are black."

Food and sex are human nature; everyone wants to take a second look at a beautiful and sexy person of the opposite sex.

Do you know why it's always the men in Beijing staring at beautiful women?

"Of course, girls are too shy to stare at men for too long; their spittle could drown them."

Xiao Die, on the other hand, made no attempt to hide it, saying, "Take Young Master He for example, there are plenty of maids in our household who secretly watch him."

"Yes, everyone wants to look at a pretty person of the opposite sex; it's human nature."

Jiang Xinyu took another bite of the chewy leaf-wrapped rice cake in her hand.

"But more than 80% of men who look at pretty women want to sleep with them."

When a girl looks at a man, she thinks of love first, and rarely thinks of immediately taking him to bed.

This cognitive bias stems from societal opinions and the ideas instilled in them through education.

If the male-dominated, female-subordinate relationship were reversed, then this difference in ideology would be completely reversed.

Ultimately, it comes down to who has the bigger fist, who can set the rules, and who has the right to speak.

Xiaodie shook her head blankly, "This servant didn't understand."

Jiang Xinyu choked for a moment, "It's just that the local atmosphere determines the general perception of a place."

It takes the joint efforts of many generations to form a certain understanding and a certain trend.

Take the Sichuan-Chongqing region for example. It's not that the men there are naturally respectful of women, but rather that the women there are not to be trifled with.

Especially those girls who show their arms and legs; you can tell from their clothes that they are girls from mountain villages.

The villages here are extremely united and protective of their own; many girls also practice witchcraft and raise poisonous pets.

Once you provoke them, not only will your own life be in danger, but your whole family and even your entire clan may be implicated.

The current atmosphere is a result of lessons learned from the bloodshed of countless rogue predecessors.

The atmosphere in our capital city has been corrupted by that damned princess from the previous dynasty.

The princess, born into a noble family, insisted on being shameless and adhering to the three obediences and four virtues by taking concubines for her husband.

And then there's that empress, anyway, all those who write about women's rules and precepts are just despicable people who can't stand seeing others do well.

She acts like a jerk herself and then publishes a book telling others to learn from her.

Xiaodie twitched her lips speechlessly, "Didn't your aunt tell you not to carry that? Why are you still so resentful?"

"There's no harm without comparison. Looking at these vibrant girls here, I feel sorry for the girls in Beijing."

After finishing her leaf cake, Jiang Xinyu casually flicked the bamboo skewer and stuck it into a tree.

"I'll write a book on admonitions for women later."

Beware of ignorance.

Avoid illiteracy,

Avoid belittling or demeaning yourself.

What a brilliant idea! Xiaodie silently gave her wife a thumbs up.

The two strolled around from morning till night. Jiang Xinyu ate her way through the streets, from street food to restaurants of all sizes.

Xiao Die compiled various gossip from the streets, and Jiang Xinyu gained a deeper understanding of the food on the two streets in front of the General's Mansion.

They're all pretty impressive!

Anyway, with Jiang Xinyu's way of eating, it would usually take a spy at least five or six days to try everything.

Xiao Yuan was both amused and exasperated when he heard their report. He sent Xiao Die away and then picked up his wife, placing her on his lap and rubbing her tummy.

"Madam, you must be exhausted after eating your way through two streets!"

Should we do some exercise to help with digestion?

While saying this, he also ambiguously bit Jiang Xinyu's ear, and his hands began to become increasingly restless.

Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes at him, "I'm from the Shu Road!"

Xiao Yuan burst out laughing, burying his head in his wife's neck and laughing uncontrollably.

Jiang Xinyu pinched his arm. "Is it that funny?"

You're making me lose face!

Xiao Yuan finally managed to stop laughing, and when he looked up, his eyes still sparkled with amusement:

"I heard 'I count to three' six times today. It seems the local specialty isn't medicine, but henpecked husbands."

Jiang Xinyu laughed at this, "Are you happy to have found your people or are you gloating?"

After speaking, Jiang Xinyu cleared her throat, mimicking Xiao Yuan's tone.

"So it turns out my wife isn't the only tigress in this world. Now I feel better."

"My wife isn't a tigress, she's my savior."

Xiao Yuan kissed Jiang Xinyu's cheek tenderly.

"I'm proud to be afraid of my wife; they want to be henpecked but don't even have the chance."

Unlike his eagerness when reprimanding the guards, Xiao Yuan seemed to have no sense of urgency about this operation.

His attitude towards Sheng was to kill him if possible, and if not, just keep an eye on him to make no unusual moves during this period.

They wouldn't have come here if they weren't afraid he would stab them in the back while the battle was at a stalemate.

Several people have been keeping a close eye on the direction of the army, but so far there has been no news of Yu Sheng making large-scale purchases of grain or mobilizing troops.

They are probably still observing the changes on the battlefield.

Even when the snipe and the clam are fighting, they should be allowed to fight for a while before the battle ends.

Even if the Great Jin Dynasty were to become powerful and severely damage the Quanrong, this man would once again cower and become his loyal subject.

Yu Sheng was not a loyal minister, but he was a good general. If it weren't for the risk of rebellion, he would be the most suitable person to guard the Bashu region.

This person was intelligent and skilled in martial arts from a young age. He was not greedy for money or lustful, and there were no previous rumors of him disregarding human life or committing corruption.

In terms of character, even Xiao Yuan was ashamed of himself, after all, he had been a treacherous minister half-forced and half-willingly while the old emperor was alive.

Yu Sheng is not only a good person but also has outstanding abilities.

The situation in the Sichuan-Chongqing region is very complex; just managing those fierce and barbaric villages is no easy feat for an ordinary person.

But he happens to be the second prince's uncle.

As the party that lost the struggle for the throne, if he were Yu Sheng, he would have rebelled sooner or later.

This is perfectly obvious.

No ruler can tolerate the faction of a former favorite for the throne controlling a large number of troops.

They are suspicious of each other, and sooner or later one of them will not be able to resist taking action.

Yu Sheng isn't stupid, so he naturally won't sit idly by and wait for his doom. He's just waiting for an opportunity.

In comparison, Jiang Xinyu was even more anxious than Xiao Yuan.

She also wanted to hurry up and resolve the situation so that Yu Sheng could go to the front lines to help Bao Beibei fight.

Now that we know Yu Sheng is suspected of major treason, we'd rather kill the innocent than let him go.

If we keep waiting like this, it'll take forever. This isn't a modern police investigation where evidence is required.

Xiao Yuan wasn't proactive at all; she always felt that her husband was slacking off.

Thinking back on what I said about him before, I realized I wasn't wrong:

It's a waste to spend those two taels of money from the imperial court on you.
