As soon as the Ji Da sounded, the daughter-in-law made a brilliant appearance!

Chapter 122: Taoist sister, you must be responsible for me!

Zhi Nian looked back and found that it was the "young man" who had just spoken up for justice who was calling her.

Look closely, this is not a boy, but a playful and cute little girl!

Zhi Nian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My name is Yi Mengyi. When I first saw you, I felt like I had seen you before, as if we were destined to be together."

Yi Mengyi's voice is clear and crisp, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.

She has bright eyes and white teeth, and her lively eyes are like two gems inlaid on her pretty face, which makes people love her.

Zhi Nian smiled slightly but said nothing.

Yi Mengyi was not angry either. Her eyes vaguely swept over the belt around Zhinian's waist, then she grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and asked softly: "My house is not far from here. Mengyi, can I have the honor to invite my sister into the house for a chat?"

Zhi Nian hesitated for a moment, she was worried that if she left for too long, Shui Yuci would worry about her.

However, this "young man" and she did get along well, and she did not detect any malice in his eyes, as if they really had something important to discuss. Zhi Nian looked up at the sky... That's all, it would be fine to sit for a while. "Okay, then I'll bother you. Please lead the way." "Sister, please!"

The Yi family is located in a quiet alley.

As soon as you step into the courtyard, the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers is like a stream of clear spring water, refreshing your heart.

The Kingdom of Women is also full of osmanthus trees. Girls have a special liking for osmanthus wine, and every girl must taste this fine wine on the eve of her coming of age.

Zhi Nian thought of the patches of osmanthus flowers in the Daughters' Kingdom, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the neatly arranged osmanthus flowers in the yard, as if he was immersed in a beautiful dream.

"Sister, do you like osmanthus?"

Yi Mengyi came up like a light butterfly and asked.

"Yes! There are also many osmanthus flowers planted in my hometown."

Zhi Nian felt a surge of homesickness in his heart, flooding over him like a tide.

Drink osmanthus wine when you reach the age of 15, and leave the island soon after that.

Is this so that girls who have left their hometowns can always remember the taste of the Land of Women when they miss their hometown?

A cunning gleam flashed in Yi Mengyi's eyes, and she led Zhi Nian into the main hall.

There are several exquisite paintings and calligraphy hanging in the hall, as if telling the cultural heritage of this family.

"Please come in, sister." Yi Mengyi said softly, her voice like nature.

Zhi Nian sat down slowly, his eyes passed over Yi Mengyi's shoulder and caught sight of a painting of a lady on the wall.

She put down the cup, stood up and walked towards the painting. The closer she looked, the more familiar the painting became.

"Who is this......"

There was a hint of doubt in Zhi Nian's voice, as if he was asking for an unknown answer.

The way the woman in the painting of ladies ties her belt is exactly the unique way of tying it in the Kingdom of Women. This way of tying is created by Jiang Huixing alone, and only the women in the Kingdom of Women know how to tie it this way!

"Mother."

Yi Mengyi walked to Zhi Nian's side and looked up at the woman in the painting.

"Can I see your mother?"

Is Madam Yi also from the Kingdom of Women?

Zhi Nian tried desperately to search for the original owner's memory in his mind. Although there were not many people in the Kingdom of Women, there were nearly 10,000 people. Just based on the portrait, he really couldn't remember a person named Madam Yi.

Yi Mengyi looked deeply at the person in the painting and said, "Jiaci passed away more than ten years ago."

Zhi Nian turned his head and looked at Yi Mengyi, who was full of admiration in her eyes.

More than a decade ago? He lost his mother when he was still an infant.

"I'm sorry to bring up such sad memories for you."

Yi Mengyi blinked, turned her head and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry about it. My mother left some relics. Are you interested in seeing them?"

"it is good."

Zhi Nian followed Yi Mengyi to the study. She took out a small wooden box, opened it, and carefully took out the silk embroidery inside.

"These were embroidered by my mother."

Zhi Nian gently brushed across the embroidery. These seemingly ordinary insects, fish, flowers and birds actually had Nushu embroidered on the edges!

Nüshu is the exclusive writing system of the Kingdom of Women, which evolved from seal script. It looks like seal script but is actually upside down and left to right. It is the writing system created by Concubine Jiang, and only the people of the Kingdom of Women can understand it.

Madam Yi is indeed from the Land of Women!

Yi Mengyi watched Zhi Nian's fair fingers slowly stroke the edge of the embroidery and deliberately said, "My mother's hands are clumsy and the embroidery is not good. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"No! It's very well embroidered."

There is no education on female virtues in the Kingdom of Women, and embroidery and other things are used to suppress women. Madam Yi must have come to the Middle-earth to learn, and it is rare for her to have such skills.

"This is the hemming method my mother invented. Look, sister, it's on every piece of embroidery!"

Yi Mengyi showed off other embroidered surfaces.

Zhi Nian's gaze rested on a brocade painting of mandarin ducks, and the one embroidered on the border was Gu Feng!

The breeze in the valley turns cloudy into rain. We should be united in our efforts and not be angry...

Madam Yi used Gu Feng's 192 characters to form a circle of border, which was dense and detailed, expressing deep resentment!

The abandoned woman was resentful, yet she could not bear the love and resentment in her heart. All of this was revealed in the text, which was even more ironic when compared with the mandarin ducks playing in the water!

Zhi Nian noticed that the color of the trim was brighter, and it was added later. Could it be that...

"Your mother and father are not on good terms?"

Yi Mengyi smiled awkwardly, with a melancholy look on her young face. "Yes, to be honest, my mother became depressed after my father welcomed the new bride, and she died with hatred in her heart."

Mrs. Yi must have someone in her heart, which is why she left the Kingdom of Women.

Zhi Nian had made up his mind and felt that it would be rude to ask more questions.

"Sister, you know that I am a girl, right?" Yi Mengyi said this with a firm tone.

Zhi Nian smiled slightly and nodded gently.

Yi Mengyi saw this and showed an expression of "as expected", "Sister is so smart, she must have known my identity from the beginning, otherwise why would she leave with me."

"My father took in a concubine because my mother had not given birth to a son, and my mother was very angry about this."

She murmured at first, then smiled with relief. "Sister seems to be very interested in this embroidery?"

Yi Mengyi's words interrupted Zhi Nian's thoughts.

Her white fingers brushed the women's calligraphy on the edge with reverence.

Zhi Nian responded: "Well, Mrs. Yi's ingenuity is rare."

It seems that Madam Yi is really an infatuated woman. She was willing to leave the Kingdom of Women with her lover. However, after her lover changed his mind, she silently embroidered her resentment with women's script and never thought of leaving...

Such lingering love is truly touching!

Zhi Nian felt sympathy, but did not agree. She thought that life was already difficult for women, and they should treat themselves better.

"I really don't know what my mother wants to express. This question has troubled me for a long time, but I can't figure it out." Yi Mengyi said with regret on her face.

"That's nothing, it's just the valley wind in the national style."

"Oh?"

Yi Mengyi cleverly concealed the surprise in her eyes and didn't let her see it, "Sister is really knowledgeable!"

This sentence made Zhi Nian flattered. She pretended to be calm and said, "Gu Feng is a folk song that has been passed down for a long time. Even ordinary people know it. Well... I am just guessing."

"I have always had a wish. Whoever can understand the meaning of my mother's paintings will be my partner in this life..."

Zhi Nian was frightened by Yi Mengyi's words and took a step back, "No way!"

Zhi Nian noticed the changes in the girl's expression along the way. She knew that she must have something to ask for, and she found out after arriving at Yi Mansion.

Yi Mengyi wanted to know the meaning of Mrs. Yi's embroidery, but the result was far beyond Zhinian's expectations.

Good boy, I helped you! You actually wanted to harm me!
