Chapter 44: Courage to Go Out
The corners of Meng Siyi's mouth hooked, and a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes: "I won't lose power, I will definitely become popular, so that everyone knows me and remembers me!"
With that, he left angrily.
She moved out, at the end of this cold winter.
The cold wind was howling, and Xiu'e was lighting a fire in the backyard while telling Siqing about things outside: "Although the fifth lady moved out, she didn't rely on the Meng family to rent a good house, the third aunt settled everything for her, and brought things to visit from time to time. ”
Xiu'e said again: "Fourth Miss, you have been grounded for a while, and the New Year is still a few days away, and the master has not mentioned the lifting of the ban, don't say that I will give you a bad idea, if you learn from the fifth lady to toss, the master may also let go." ”
Siqing was practicing painting, and when she heard this, she shook her head and smiled: "The method is feasible, but it is not necessary." ”
She just wants to toss, and she should also go to the outside world where the pair of women are unequal, and toss the Meng family, there is no need.
The sky was covered with goose feathers and heavy snow, and in the dim evening, Pan Lanfang suddenly cried and fell into the West Chamber, and said loudly: "Si Ru is born, Si Ru is born." ”
At that time, the old lady was drinking tea, and was so frightened by that sad expression that the tea cup fell to the ground, she got up suddenly, and said nothing: "Born...... Shouldn't it be a good thing, how can you ...... Could it be that something happened to Siru, it's hard to ...... Dystocia?"
"She's fine, but ...... Gave birth to a daughter. ”
The old lady was light, sat back abruptly, touched the back of her hand that had just been burned, and said angrily: "Daughter is daughter, are you like this, you haven't given birth to a daughter?"
"But this is the widow of the Hong family, and after giving birth to a daughter, the Hong family will be broken. Pan Lanfang couldn't cry, "I'm worried about Siru, I thought she could give birth to a son, and then pointed to her son to gain a foothold in the Hong family, but now, ...... I'm afraid that she will have a hard time in the Hong family. ”
This is also true, the old lady thought left and right: "My daughter is also a human being, and she is also the seed of his Hong family, that old guy can't go too far, if it really doesn't work, ask Siru to come back and live for a while." ”
"How can you come to live at your mother's house with a child, what do outsiders think of that?" Pan Lanfang cried while walking out slowly, "Forget it, I'll ask someone to send her some supplements first." ”
The old lady looked at her in surprise, and wanted to say something, but she felt that it had nothing to do with herself, so she stopped talking.
However, before Pan Lanfang's supplements were delivered, Meng Siru came back by himself again...... is not "self", along with her, there is also the newborn daughter Huan'er.
The Hong family drove her back again, this time they decided not to want her, not even their granddaughter.
The moment Si Ru entered the door, the old lady was almost dumbfounded.
She felt that she had always been cold-blooded, but she was willing to bow down in front of the old lady of the Hong family.
"He deserves to be broken off by the Hong family. She even thought hatefully.
And when he was muttering to himself like this, he suddenly thought that once upon a time, someone said that he would break off the Meng family, could it be all cause and effect?
She remembered some of the past, and couldn't help but shudder, seeing this newborn child, her heart suddenly felt pity.
He said, "It is better to come back, so that adults and children will not suffer in other people's homes." ”
However, Pan Lanfang didn't think so.
Since Meng Siru entered the door with the child in her arms, her heart has not been calm, she can't accept that her daughter was driven back by her husband's family again, and she can't imagine the fingers of outsiders.
Every time she wanted to take care of Siru, she was still infinitely concerned and distressed when she walked on the road, but when she arrived at her room and saw her and the child, those humiliating thoughts poured out and filled her mind, so that she couldn't face these two people properly.
Obviously came with concern, but often counted down, and finally left angrily.
Meng Siru has a soft temperament, except for the day Hong Xuan died, she talked back to her mother-in-law in this life, and she has never blushed with anyone, and it is even more impossible for her mother.
She is still in confinement, she has wiped a lot of tears, and everyone has begun to have double vision.
She didn't dare to call her mother over again, thinking that only Siqing in the Meng family could talk to her, and wanted to ask someone to call Siqing, but people were still grounded and were not allowed to go out of the backyard, and her child was not yet a month old, and she couldn't walk around according to etiquette, so she had to send someone to ask Meng Hongxian when Siqing could come out.
Meng Hongxian replied: "It's not about telling her to be obedient, it's about telling her to take care of herself, when she can break off the idea of going out to work, when will she let her out." ”
Especially the porcelain art club, although it is humiliating to be sealed, it is not without benefits, what kind of porcelain art study, when her wings are hard in the future, will there be a Meng family in her eyes?
However, Siqing didn't say anything on the surface, but she was firm in her heart about this matter, she refused to let go, and Meng Hongxian didn't let go, the two sides were deadlocked, seemingly calm, but one day, it set off a surge.
The cause is in Sigu Xuan.
On this day, Sigu Xuan was as usual, and the closure of the Guanguan Pavilion in the back had no effect on them.
It's just that a female student came outside, and she looked at the door for a long time, looking at the hiring notice posted in the Kankan Pavilion before, and the notice was forgotten and not torn off.
When she saw the words "men and women are not limited", her eyes lit up, so she went in to ask for details, which was full of hope, but the result was predictable, and she came out with disappointment.
This female student is a dead eye, so she has to find out the details, and after learning about the scene of the day, she can't help but be resentful: "After all, it is difficult for a woman to come out and do something!"
"Not necessarily. The staff smiled, "There are also a lot of women who come out to do the work, such as the cloth houses and tailor shops on the street, as well as the mothers-in-law and maids of large families, and ......."
He almost said that there were all women in Flower Street and Willow Lane, and he stopped immediately before he could leave, this was an example, not his intention.
He added: "No one says that women are not allowed to come out, but they have their own division of labor, in fact, they are still equal, if you let women go to work on the docks, they can't stand it." ”
The female students just sneered: "The so-called division of labor is because of the difference in physical strength between men and women, there is no way not to divide, this is just natural selection for many years, for the continuation of mankind and each has its own strengths, but in terms of culture, progress, and ideology, there has never been equality, up to the court as officials, only men, down to the countryside private school, only boys, just say that you art fair, there is no trace of women, and this time there is finally a woman in the pavilion to open a place for art exchange, but it ended up without a problem." ”
The more she spoke, the more indignant she felt, and her tone gradually became intense: " Most men, they can't accept that they are inferior to women, so they quietly suppress, now even if a place like Xuncheng has opened a girls' school, but there are many families that do not allow women to enroll, even if they go to school, in order to only have a reputation for knowledge, so as to marry a satisfactory family, in the end, really use that knowledge, very few, this Miss Meng who opened a porcelain art club is a special case, since she is standing in front, we have to help her push. ”
"What are you going to do?" the other party was stunned, "The Porcelain Art Society was sealed by Master Cheng, and there was still a secret in the closure that day, if you are going to find someone to ask for something to make the Porcelain Art Society open, I advise you not to waste your efforts." ”
"You can't open all the doors if you open this one door alone. The schoolgirl threw down a sentence and left angrily.
Early the next morning, on the main street of Xuncheng, a large number of students, most of whom seemed to be girls, suddenly appeared, they crossed the whole street, their steps were neat, full of youth, they walked in the street, shouting slogans in unison.
Walking around the pavilion, the staff went out to take a look, and saw that it was yesterday's female student who was the leader.
She led the people behind her to shout: "Support equality, let women out of the house!"
She shouted, and the large crowd behind her also shouted.
"What's the trouble?" the man shook his head, "Young people are just impulsive, they want to come out of the way, and they really think that walking around the street will have an effect?"
After sighing, he was about to turn around, but when he accidentally glanced at it, he saw a few familiar figures in the procession, and they were not outsiders, they were the proprietress of the tea shop and her little attendant who sent tea to Sigu Xuan on weekdays, and a few girls who entertained guests at the Drunken Tea Xuan opposite.
"How can these people get in, what does it have to do with them, they don't know a single big word, so let's join in the fun. He frowned.
In a moment's moment, I saw that the procession was getting bigger and stronger, and whether it was a schoolgirl in a blue cloth and black dress, or a lady in a brocade and satin, or a peasant girl in coarse linen clothes, they all followed the procession, shouting slogans and following the leader, and the footsteps were sonorous and powerful.
Maybe some women really don't know what they are shouting, but they have found their identity and identity at this moment, and whether it is useful or not, at least they can shout and be heard.
What's the point of life if you don't have the courage to go out once?
This kind of bravery should not only be focused on the love of children.
Later, Xu was shocked by this shout, and some men joined in, and the shouts filled everyone's ears.
Everywhere I passed, the shops on both sides of the road, the windows and doors were open one after another, and people were either leaning against the windows or laughing at the doors, but no one complained or stopped them.
Someone inquired that this day's parade began because of Miss Meng of the porcelain art society, and in surprise, there was inevitably a burst of talk and amazement.
Writers from all walks of life have turned the scene of this day into paper and circulated it to the eyes of people who have not witnessed this grand occasion.
The streets and alleys of that day were impassioned, and the words between the lines were also inspiring, and it was widely spread for a while, which made people sigh and move.
After this day, some people were surprised to find that there were women on the counters of some money banks and on the podiums of schools.
Of course, it's still little, very little, very little.
But something is better than nothing.
However......
In Meng's house, Meng Hongxian was very puzzled.
The news of the parade has spread all over the place, and he has no reason not to know, he secretly thought, Siqing people can make trouble outside if they stay in the backyard for half a step, who is she?
Under pressure, he had no choice but to lift her ban and resume her study of porcelain painting.
He inexplicably felt that he was in a certain predicament, obviously he didn't lose anything, but he just felt that what he wanted to control seemed to be uncontrollable.
"Meng family, it's time to have the next generation. He said secretly.
