Chapter 63, the cruelty of reality
The lotus banquet of the Qingwang Mansion let Mu Chenxue see what it means to be inflammatory, and what is the authority of honor. She finally realized www.biquge.info that this is no longer the modern society she is familiar with, but an ancient society that has no human rights, no equality, and is completely unfamiliar with men.
After the banquet, the eldest lady Cheng led her daughters back to the shogunate, today the fourth sister Mu Yu is talented, although Princess Qing did not praise it, but Lord Sima's wife, but the wife of the Lord is full of praise for the curtain rain, thinking that the daughter's family affairs will soon be settled.
Lord Sima is from the fourth grade, four levels higher than the old man Mu Qian, if he can let his daughter marry into Sima Mansion, although it is not as powerful as the palace, but in the future, it will also become the help of his son Mu Peng. And during the banquet, she also took the opportunity to humiliate the two concubines and let them recognize their identities. No matter how refined the fifth sister is, she is only a foil to the fourth sister after all. looked at the two concubines sitting in the car silently, and the only trace of unhappiness left in my heart disappeared at once.
It's just that the eldest lady doesn't know, and Mu Chenxue's silence is not because she is humiliated and humiliated, but when she thinks of the era she lives in, she has a sad feeling of desolation on her back. At the beginning, she was trapped in the backyard and had no way out, thinking that she might as well go to a farmhouse, and with her own skills, she would not be worse than what she is doing now. But now she feels that she can wear a young lady, and she is really stronger than ordinary people. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will become a problem to live, let alone want to buy land and do business.
And the third sister was thinking about how to sue the fifth sister in front of the eldest lady, so neither of them spoke all the way. waited until they entered the shogunate, and the third sister didn't find a chance, so the eldest lady went back to rest separately, and only pulled the fourth sister into the upper room. Even the night greetings are waived. The third sister glared angrily and headed in the direction of the backyard, "Phew!" After taking a bite, I reluctantly went back to Aunt Ma to discuss.
Mu Chenxue returned to the backyard, Aunt Cheng was also restless worriedly, seeing her daughter come back, she was busy holding her hand and asking non-stop, Mu Chenxue talked about the process over and over again, but Aunt Cheng was still not at ease, "Mother, go to Qingwangfu to participate in the lotus banquet, the daughter and the third sister are just the foil of the fourth sister, as long as the fourth sister does not have an accident, what can the daughter do!" Just rest assured! ”
Aunt Cheng heard her daughter say this, although she felt a little at ease, but when she thought of her daughter's future, she couldn't help but sigh, "Fifth Sister is such a smart and good child, it's a pity that it is wrong to hold it in my belly, otherwise I am afraid that there will already be a family with a hundred women." Why worry about the future! ”
Mu Chenxue was already a little pitiful for herself in ancient times, but when Cheng said this, she felt that her mother's situation was three points more pitiful than herself. She at least knows what she lives for and how she can live better. But in addition to resentment in the mother's heart, the only thing left is guilt for her children. Such a person does not even know what his life is, which is really pitiful.
"Mother, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, daughters have a way to make themselves and their mothers live a good life, and I also have a smart younger brother, as long as the ninth brother is willing to be motivated and willing to study, the future will be limitless! At that time, there will be Brother Jiu'er to support us, see who else dares to bully us! As soon as she talked about her son, Aunt Cheng, she suppressed the guilt in her heart, took her daughter into her arms, and nodded. Yes, we still have Brother Jiu'er! ”
Mu Chenxue never thought that one day she would believe in the phrase "raising children to prevent old age". But now she really understands what it means to be a man and a woman is inferior, and what is a man in charge. No matter how hard she tries, at most she can only be a virtuous helper for a man. You can't even do it alone. Listening to the third sister chatting today, she realized that women in this era cannot not get married. If you are still 20 years old, the government will send official media to forcibly marry. It is not even necessary to obtain the consent of the woman's parents. So she felt very depressed today. She had thought that if the eldest lady matched her with someone at will, she would run away from home and set up her own business, but even such a small request was impossible in this era. And the next strategy is that she will remain incognito for the rest of her life, hide her identity, and live as "Mu Qing".
After persuading my mother a few words, look at the time, my younger brother Muchenfeng is coming back, so I got up and went back to my house to change clothes, and planned to cook two dishes for my brother to eat. Since Da Fanghua came, she rarely cooked, but occasionally made some snacks and took them to the county school for her younger brother. Today, I am bored, I can't calm down in the house, and the backyard is not big, so I have nowhere to go, so I think that if I don't cook, I can at least keep myself busy, and I don't have to think about it anymore and mess up.
She is in turmoil here, and the Qingwang Mansion is not calm, ****** has drunk a lot of wine today, and is resting at the princess's place at this time, "Ai Concubine, Xun'er is a masterpiece of lotus root today, it is a poem that overwhelms the crowd, and even several adults are full of praise!" ”
"But no, Lord Wang, you didn't see it, there were a lot of guests during the banquet, and they couldn't put down Xun'er's poems, and several ladies also said that they would copy the poems and go back to let their daughters embroider them into fans!" When Princess Qing talked about her son Nangong Xun, she even smiled with a smile.
"Xun'er reassures us, but Shumo, just! Mrs. can look at Shumo today, I wonder which lady is willing to marry her daughter to Shumo as a wife? At the mention of Nangong Shumo, Princess Qing just smiled on her face, and suddenly she was dyed with a layer of frost.
"The prince only thinks about his second son, Xun'er's wife died early, leaving only a daughter, and now Xun'er is the king of the county, but he doesn't even have a wife around him who can support him. The prince is really not partial! "Although Princess Qing hates the son born to Concubine Fengfang, she also knows that no matter how much she hates, she can't show it on her face, after all, although Nangong Shumo is a concubine, she is also a prince and the son of the prince.
"Xun'er is the person who will succeed me in the Qing Palace, how can I not think about him. It's just that Shumo's health has always been bad, and now even walking has become a problem, so it's better to find a family business for him as soon as possible, and forget my heart! "Prince Qing also knows that the princess doesn't like his little son, but Nangong Shumo is from Concubine Fengfang, and he is sorry for Concubine Fengfang, and owes her an explanation, a lifelong love debt. It's just that this is the deepest secret in Prince Qing's heart, and even the princess has never mentioned a word.
It's just that the world is unpredictable, and King Qing will learn the truth one day, but it will be too late to regret it.
Xuemei was inside, and Feng Wu led Baoru to see the master Nangong Shumo, "Baoru, do you know what's wrong?" Nangong Shumo didn't expect that he would send someone to follow Miss Mu, but he was still in danger of attracting unnecessary attention.
"The slave knows her mistake, please punish the master!" Baoru had heard what had happened from Feng Wu, and knew that the prince of the county had become suspicious of Miss Mugo, all because of his own negligence. So as soon as I entered the door, I knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up.
"The mistake has been made, there is no place for you to stand here, go to Feng Wu to receive the punishment and leave the palace immediately, and go back to the pawnshop in the four seas first. Waiting for my arrangement! Remember, don't go out these days, and if you notice someone snooping and following you, tell your dad immediately! Although Nangong Shumo was angry in his heart, he also knew that Baoru couldn't be blamed for this matter, but a mistake was a mistake, and there should still be a punishment.
"Yes, my subordinates will obey my master's orders!" Baoru felt better when she was punished, after all, not only did she not complete the things that the master told her, but she also let Miss Mu hide in danger and brought troubles to the master.
After Baoru retreated, Nangong Shumo changed his clothes and planned to visit the shogunate at night.
