Chapter 231: It has something to do with the second lady
That Ji Xiang looked at him lightly, and said with a smile, "This son is a friend of the Imperial Doctor, Ji Xiang happens to have something to do, so I invite the two of you to sit here for a while, and I will come when I go." If there is any negligence, please forgive me. After speaking, he gave a salute to the two people in front of him, slowly walked out of the small hall, and went straight away.
Tong Gong looked at his walking gait, and knew that his legs and feet seemed to be a little inconvenient, and when he walked, he couldn't help jumping a little, and his body was up and down, which was very difficult.
Seeing that Jixiang had gone far away, the tobacco farmer next to him couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, how did you find here?" ”
Tonggong smiled and said, "If you can find it, I can't find it?" ”
"Your Highness doesn't know, today is the birthday of the master here, Jixiang has a lot of things to do, just now I finally took some time to come and discuss with me. Who knew that it had just started, and it was immediately disturbed by you again. I've been waiting here for most of the day, but I haven't even discussed half of the prescription seriously......"
Tong Gong completely ignored the chatter and complaints of the tobacco farmer, and ignored him, suddenly stared at a calligraphy and painting on the wall, and exclaimed, "Ah, isn't this scroll of immortal guidance ......?" ”
Cheng Yannong nodded and said, "Officially, this is what the man painted by himself." ”
"That person's eyes have always been high above his head, and he said that if a painting is not human, even if it is sold for ten thousand taels of gold? But he actually sent one to hang here, and your friend's face is not small! ”
Cheng Yannong smiled, "This painting is not for Ji Xiang, but for his master." ”
Tong Gong said strangely, "He still has a master, but I don't know who his master is?" ”
"It's the master here...... Your Highness, you don't have to be so surprised, just a painting by Zheng Dun is actually nothing, you must know that his sister Zheng Yi Zheng is a big man, she often comes here to visit. I'm sure I'll be here today. I think Zheng Yi means, sooner or later, he will also send his younger brother Zheng Yi in. ”
The two were in the middle of such a conversation, but they heard a string of voices outside, but another guest came.
Tong Gong is active by nature, and he leans in front of the window and looks out from the inside. I saw that the young man who asked him to deliver medicine on his behalf, the man who claimed to be rich, was leading the three of them over.
The three guests were two women and one man. The man is quite beautiful, and it seems that he should be the family member of one of the women, but he does not have the subtle and restrained energy of an ordinary married man, and he talks and laughs all the way to get rich, just like a brother.
Among the two women, one is in her twenties, her figure is a little thin, and she is very delicate and quiet; The other was younger, grinning and looking radiant.
These four walked all the way, talking and laughing all the way, and they were obviously very different from Tonggong when they got rich, and they were extremely enthusiastic and enthusiastic.
Tong Gong looked at the three of them, and quietly retreated, only feeling that he had seen one of them somewhere, the older woman, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Seeing him thoughtful, Cheng Yannong immediately said, "These two women, one of them is a new Tanhua this year, and now she is serving in the Hanlin Academy, and the other is in the fifth place. ”
Tong Gong clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, no wonder I always feel familiar tight, it turns out that she is the Ji Qin who reads for my imperial sister." I went to look for the royal sister a few times, and I saw her running up and down over there. Hence the familiarity. ”
Cheng Yannong said, "Ji Qin has an excellent character, a calm temperament, and has a family, although the examination room is abnormal, and the ranking is under the blessing of friends, but in terms of true talent and real learning, it is not under her, so she was strongly recommended by Zheng Yi, so she urged the princess to study diligently by the side of the princess, and the emperor was favored, but she was not under the blessing." ”
Tonggong listened and was silent, thinking that in this way, the married man just now must be Ji Qin's family. But I don't know why I have such a close relationship with the young squire here? These two upstarts in the examination room came together, and it seems that they should be good friends with the master here, could it be that this Ji Qin's husband, is he from this place?
Although he just thought casually and had no intention, he didn't know that he guessed roughly the same.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door outside, and then a small servant walked in and respectfully served tea. This little guy is about eleven or twelve years old, and he looks very smart.
After serving tea to the two people in the hall, he specially instructed him when he left, saying that if the two sons had other needs, they could summon him with a walkie-talkie, and he would be in the pantry next to him at any time.
It was only then that Tong Gong saw a rope hanging from the edge of the table, passing through the wall. He walked over and pulled the rope, and pulled out a pair of small metal cups. Thinking that this was probably the microphone that the little squire had just said, he put one of them in front of his mouth and blew on it with an "oh".
A moment later, there was a sudden buzzing sound in his ears, lingering and reverberating, and for a long time, Tonggong was taken aback, and hurriedly looked around, but no one else came.
I saw Cheng Yannong smile slightly, took the round cup in his hand, put one of them on his ear, put the other one to his mouth, and said, "There's nothing wrong here, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
After saying that, he put the pair of metal cups back into their original places.
Tong Gong was amazed, but his eyes were round, and he looked at the imperial doctor in a daze. But I heard Cheng Yannong say, "This is a talkie designed by the owner here, as long as you take out the two round cups connected by ropes, you can talk to each other." ”
And this kind of fun stuff? Tong Gong is now more and more interested in this master, and now he is pestering the tobacco farmer, and he must tell some stories about this person. Cheng Yannong originally didn't want to talk about others behind his back, but after all, he couldn't help the bitter entanglement of the eldest prince. I had to nod and say immediately, "The master of this room is an eldest lady, she is both civil and military, and knows all kinds of schools, no matter in heaven or earth, in the earth and in the water, there is almost nothing she doesn't know." And for those who are proficient in poetry and songs, they often export chapters. She was even elected as the most outstanding woman since the beginning of my dynasty. ”
Tong Gong heard that what he said was too general and exaggerated, so he just laughed, and when Cheng Yannong finished speaking, he asked again, "Then have you seen this person's face?" ”
Cheng Yannong Zhengse said, "Those who can get close to this person are all extraordinary people." Tobacco farmers are just a few herbs, where can there be such an opportunity? ”
Tonggong shook his head and said with a smile, "I said, you're just a crowd, in fact, you're all bragged by people." If there is really such a powerful character, then the emperor will be a good person for her, what else do you want my imperial sister to do? Isn't it? ”
Cheng Yannong hurriedly said, "Although Your Highness is just joking, don't talk nonsense. ”
Tong Gong said seriously, "Imperial Physician, I just don't believe that there is such a powerful person in this world as you said?" Most of this is deliberately made up by her family and friends to fool others and elevate herself. In fact, there is nothing such as a walkie-talkie, which is not the real ability to march and fight, govern the country and secure the country, but just some cleverness. ”
Cheng Yannong looked hesitant and said, "Your Highness has not seen the master here, how can you make such rash and bad comments?" ”
Tonggong smiled, "You talk nonsense, but it's useless." Tell me, apart from hiding here and being isolated from the world, and doing some clever tricks, what other big things has she done? ”
Cheng Yannong smiled, "I really haven't done anything else, I just happened to hear about two things." ”
Tonggong made a look of deferential listening.
Cheng Yannong glanced at him and said, "One of them is about the return of the bearded master of the Chaoyin Buddha Pavilion. I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of the deeds of this master? ”
Tonggong said, "I once heard people in the palace talk about it, saying that this bearded master is a monk who has attained enlightenment, has long seen through the red dust, and has understood life and death. and also said that he will inherit the Chaoyin Buddha Pavilion in its entirety, serve as the next host, and is even expected to become a national teacher.
However, for some reason, this monk didn't want to put good results, and suddenly one day, he actually said that he wanted to return to the vulgar, and he never knew what to do in the future. Therefore, people say that from now on, there is a lack of beard in the world, and there is less in the west. Hearing you say this, the reason why this monk moved his mortal heart has something to do with this young lady here? ”
said a long list of things to himself, but suddenly smiled, "Could it be that the young lady here is young and beautiful, so he lost his soul and decided to return to the vulgar?" But this monk has been famous for a long time, how can he be fifty or sixty years old, but how can he be embarrassed to marry? ”
Tonggong's statement was too abrupt, and Cheng Yannong glared at him very dissatisfied, and said reproachfully, "Your Highness, where do you think you have gone?" This bearded master, he is a man who has attained the Tao even if he is alive and dead, where will he still take the **** suffering of ordinary people to heart. ”
Tonggong smiled, "It's you who said it vaguely, okay, you can't just blame me for thinking crookedly." ”
Cheng Yannong said, "At that time, the young lady here talked to Qiu Fei for a night of Zen theory, and finally asked him a question, Master Qiu Mao was enlightened, and at dawn the next day, he packed his bags, left the Chaoyin Buddha Pavilion, and went back to the world. ”
Tonggong shook his head and said, "I don't believe this. ”
Cheng Yannong Zhengse said, "But there is such a thing! ”
On that day, the young lady here heard that Master Qiu was proficient in Buddhism, and claimed that she had an unsolved problem in the world, and she wanted to discuss it with the Zen master, hoping to be inspired by the great wisdom of great virtue and power.
The two talked about Buddhism in the meditation room from dusk until late at night. According to the monks in the temple, in fact, this young lady does not understand the Buddhist scriptures at all, but she is very wise, although she knows little about the Buddhist scriptures, but she can often express her mind and express her unique opinions through the various states of the world. Even if you listen to it in the ears of the practitioners, it is also a wonderful enlightenment, which is very enlightening.
Master Qiu and this young lady, who had never studied Buddhist scriptures, discussed until late at night. In the end, the two had nothing to say and fell into a long silence.
After that, the young lady asked the master a question, and the master was silent for a long time, and the next day he packed his bags, went down the mountain and left the temple, and went back to the world.
After listening to this, Tonggong was silent for a long time, and asked, "I don't know what kind of question this young lady asked the master?" ”
Cheng Yannong shook his head and said, "The young lady has never mentioned this question to anyone, and Master Beard has never appeared, and there were only two of them present at that time, and no one else. So, no one else knows about it but them. ”
Tonggong asked, "Didn't that young lady ever talk about it to the others?" ”
The farmer still shook his head, but did not answer.
Tong Gong raised his head and smiled and said, "Yes, this young lady's approach is very good for my character, but the bearded master is only afraid that he will really understand life and death and enter the avenue, otherwise how can he be moved by her words?" By the way, Imperial Doctor, didn't you say that there is one more thing, and you should tell me about it? ”
Cheng Yannong nodded, took a deep breath and said, "There is another thing, that is, she thinks that men and women are born equal, and if there are men who are not autonomous and are bullied because of the world, as long as they enter her manor, they will be properly settled." With her, as long as she has the ambition, both men and women can get an education, and they don't have to depend on their families. If you don't want to rely on your wife, you can also rely on your job to live a self-sufficient life.
Therefore, in her place, everyone in the village is not distinguished from the noble and the lowly, but all over the world, all kinds of people, etc., all treat each other equally. For this situation, the young lady called it Disney's petty society. ”
"Disney's petty society? What does that mean? Tonggong jumped up excitedly, "But there is no distinction between high and low, don't you want the world to be in chaos?" She has such a big mouth that she dares to say such things, isn't she afraid of this......"
Cheng Yannong looked at him excitedly and smiled, "Why aren't you afraid of this?" ”
"Don't be afraid of this......" Tong Gong said to his mouth, and he was about to rush out, but he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly he was speechless.
When he heard the tobacco farmer talk about this person's thoughts and practices, he felt that it was a great violation of the common sense of the world, which was really a big rebellion.
However, I thought about it again, and thought that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, for hundreds of years, there seems to have never been a formal written regulation stipulating the superiority of women and the inferiority of men. At most, some laws are slightly skewed towards the dominant woman.
In fact, from the very beginning, there was no specific statute issued by this concept of female superiority and inferiority, and it was tightly spread in the fixed opinion passed down from generation to generation, and it was circulated from generation to generation, so that later everyone thought that men should be born to modify their skin and appearance, and when they grew up, they could marry a good wife, and women should work hard to support their families after they were born.
With the passage of time, people gradually accepted this situation calmly and accepted this inertial thinking, so there was a relaxation of restrictions on men by the imperial court and the granting of men to get ahead. There is an opportunity to fight for fame, but there are still very few people who respond.
Therefore, although these practices and ideas of Miss here seem shocking today, in fact, they do not conflict with the legal code. The inertia that lies deep in people's hearts is what is more feared than the harsh punishment of the law, because it restricts the actions of a glitter and all the brilliant thoughts
