CHAPTER XXXIV
In ancient times, people said that it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, Shen Ruyu originally thought that she was in the capital and already knew enough about this strange world, but after coming out, she found that this world was more ...... than she imagined More......
What's more? More backward?
Although Shen Ruyu could really feel it, she couldn't describe it exactly.
She has experienced this feeling in Shen Nanfeng, in Li Cong, in the queen she has experienced, in Wen Ming, Song Jin, she has experienced it-
And Wei Nan's deep hatred made all her fragmentary feelings suddenly integrated together, making Shen Ruyu really feel a certain characteristic of this era, the trait she has been resisting and rejecting, and this is the most thrilling thing she has encountered in her two lives, and Shen Ruyu still can't let go of it after several days in the past.
Although she sued herself that no matter what she said, one side was a bandit who had been on the road for a long time and robbed the good people, and on the other hand, the officials and soldiers who had "rescued the hostages" for the people - although the rescue of the hostages had to be considered, but the elimination of harm for the people was indeed true - so no matter how you thought about it, it should not be the fault of the bandits, and Wei Nan, his mother was the leader of the bandits, and she was not wronged when she was killed, and his hatred was understandable, but there are always some criminals who will not reflect on their crimes, but only resent the police who arrested them and put them in prison.
But despite suing herself like this, Shen Ruyu's heart did not calm down because of this.
It was the first time she had been hated like this, and she had faced the malice that seemed to crush her to ashes, and it would have been a lie to say that she didn't feel afraid.
Somehow, for the first time, she took the initiative to write a letter to Li Cong - not to report, not to cover up, just to talk to him well.
However, when she really picked up the pen, Shen Ruyu found that there was nothing to say.
His identity is a huge obstacle, in order to do what he wants to do, Shen Ruyu can't tell him what she has experienced, and she can't tell him what she is thinking, even if she was almost assassinated by General Zhichong on the top of the mountain, she must hide it, a thousand words, and in the end, there is only a short sentence: Don't think about peace, I hope you are well.
But after writing it, Shen Ruyu stared at that sentence for a long time, and she felt that it was a little too perfunctory.
She thought for a moment, set the letter aside, and spread out the rice paper.
There are too many harsh men in this world, just like the harsh women in the ancient world where she once lived, she was bound and discriminated against, and endured a lot of injustice.
Even if you become an emperor - as long as you are a man, it is like an original sin.
Being an emperor is not an easy profession in the first place, and it is even more difficult if the gender is different from the mainstream.
Theoretically, they are rich all over the world and are the masters of the world, but Shen Ruyu has no doubt that if nothing else, Li Cong may not be able to see the world outside the capital for the rest of his life, what the country and mountains he has are like.
Shen Ruyu thought, since she couldn't say something, then she should draw something.
Painting her and her friends from the Yellow River downstream, the waves are turbulent, the green mountains on both sides of the river are connected, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the noise and complexity of the Qizhou wharf, the building boat and the boat, the city column Zhuji, Huying Luoqi, when they go to Julu County, she sees the sky is vast and high, white clouds like flocculent, and at this time, she is in Julu County, sitting in the guest room of the county guard of Julu County, painting by the window, painting the courtyard outside the window, the flowers are luxuriant, and the kingfisher is crying.
After finishing the painting, Shen Ruyu thought about it, took the letter raft that was put aside, and added a joking joke: "The picture of the other day will be good, and it will return to Fengchikua." ”
The girl raised her wrists, looked at her newly written sentences, and then showed a shallow smile with satisfaction, she carefully packed up a few picture scrolls and letterheads, and then straightened up with relief, and then was a little surprised to see a familiar figure standing outside the window—it seemed that she had been standing for a long time.
"Wen Ming?"
The boy seemed to have been looking at her in a daze, and when he heard her call his name softly, he suddenly came back to his senses with some embarrassment.
He is wearing a snow-blue robe today - the world in power for women always hates monotony, so as long as the robe is correct, the color should not touch the forbidden ones and is not required, it is very loose - the snow blue color is gentle and elegant, lined with a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, so that just standing there, people can't help but praise Zhilan Yushu, which is romantic.
"Are you feeling better? How do you stand in front of a window and blow the wind? Wen Ming looked at the other party in a daze, but was caught by the party, which was already a little embarrassing, he tried to talk with a straight face, but the messy words were a little not fluent.
"I'm almost fine," Shen Ruyu smiled at him, "I'm here to blow the wind and breathe, it's too stuffy to lie down all the time—why are you here?" ”
"I'm here because...... The people you rescued are the women who voted for the post and wanted to visit you to thank you in person, Zijun...... She temporarily refused to say that you were recuperating, but she said that I should tell you a story. ”
Shen Ruyu looked at him, he didn't know that he was definitely saying that he was coming, and Wang Zijun couldn't refuse directly.
However, she saved people out of selfishness, how could she accept people's thanks with peace of mind, not to mention that Shen Ruyu didn't want to see all the things that reminded her of Wei Nan at the moment, so her brows subconsciously frowned, "There's nothing to thank, let Zijun continue to tell them like this, with that kung fu, I might as well tell you the story again." ”
Hearing the story, Wen Ming's expression moved slightly, obviously quite moved, but he looked at her, and suddenly his expression became a little depressed, "...... You don't want to see them, do you? ”
Shen Ruyu didn't know why Wen Ming's feelings had changed suddenly, she was stunned for a moment, but nodded honestly, "...... Right. ”
After these short time together, Wen Ming seemed to be able to discern the different meanings contained in her smile, he paused, and then asked, "You think it's too much trouble to deal with them, don't you?" ”
Shen Ruyu smiled a little embarrassedly and acquiesced to this reason.
Wen Ming suddenly became even more lost, he lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "You never mentioned it to Zijun, but she can know what you think and what you don't want......"
His unfinished exclamation had a hidden meaning—when will I be able to understand what you mean and what you are saying?
But Shen Ruyu hadn't spoken yet, perhaps knowing that Shen Ruyu's answer would never satisfy him, Wen Ming quickly adjusted himself, simply didn't listen to her answer, looked at Shen Ruyu and asked seriously before she spoke: "Do you still tell the story about the man in power last time?" ”
That's what they talk about.
Shen Ruyu said at the time, "Let me tell you about another possibility of the world. ”
But she also remembered to make a promise to him, "This may be too wild, don't sue others." ”
Although Shen Ruyu had already determined that the existing time-traveler was not in the same time and space as her, even if she knew, she would probably only look at her with admiration - wow! Shen Ruyu is so thoughtful and profound!
So sometimes she is really curious about what kind of image Shen Ruyu is in their time and space!
Thinking about these chores, Shen Ruyu cleaned up the tables and chairs, and when Wen Ming sat down from the outside of the house, she raised her hand and poured two cups of tea for them, and asked casually, "Where did we talk about last time?" ”
Wen Ming remembered very clearly, and immediately replied: "Speaking of women's reluctance to marry the person chosen by their parents, they will not be imprisoned as a great unfilial piety, they can choose the person they like - free love, free marriage." ”
Shen Ruyu nodded and inspired: "According to the situation in our place? ”
In this way, it is really a bit crazy, but Wen Ming hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Man...... If you don't want to marry someone chosen by your parents, you won't be imprisoned for being considered unfilial, you can choose who you like - free love, free marriage. ”
Shen Ruyu smiled at him. "That's what I told you, my ideal world — not where men overpower women, and women don't need to overpower men — just equality."
But Shen Ruyu herself understands that it can only be an ideal, how can the reality be so beautiful, at most it can only be as equal as possible, but Wen Ming's eyes are shining, although the world she described is real, but for Wen Ming, it is just a possibility, but even if it is such a slim possibility, he is still dizzy and fascinated.
After saying this, Wen Ming suddenly hesitated and continued, "You said it last time...... You won't reject me because I'm Cui Wenjun's fiancé. ”
Shen Ruyu blinked, she was silent for a few seconds, and Wen Ming instantly showed a restless appearance, but fortunately, Shen Ruyu finally replied affirmatively: "Well, no." ”
Shen Ruyu's feelings for Wen Ming are quite sympathetic.
It's not because his family treats him badly, and it's not because he likes her but can't ask for it, but because he is an oppressed person
In the world of the patriarchal society in which she once lived, a great man once said that the overthrow of matriarchy was a defeat of women's world-historical significance, and from then on, women were degraded, enslaved, turned into slaves of men*, and turned into simple tools for reproduction. This degraded status, even if it is whitewashed and disguised, and in some places cloaked in moderation, has not been eliminated and changed in the slightest. With the disintegration of the ancient communist system and the increase in population density, after losing the simple nature of primitive life, women felt more and more humiliated and oppressed, which made them desperately demand the right to maintain chastity, and the right to marry only one man temporarily or permanently as a means of salvation. 】
This is the last struggle of women for their own fate, they have lost most of their freedom and respect, and something must be used to prove that women are not completely overwhelmed by men, not to the point where they can be played and oppressed at will, and they have at least one thing to decide for themselves - as long as women do not agree to this matter, men have no choice.
This may seem a bit sad, but what is even more tragic is that men have distorted in subsequent history the attitude and meaning of women towards the matter of maintaining chastity - women keep their chastity in order to retain some of their last freedoms - the freedom to choose who they want to dedicate themselves to, but men tell them that they keep their chastity in order to finally give it to one man at some point, that is, your future husband, the only man in your life, otherwise you will be rejected by the whole society. They preach that scene as extremely sacred, telling you that only if you do this, you will be a good woman, you will be rewarded, you will be respected and loved, on the contrary, you will be maliciously humiliated by them as rotten, cheap, and dirty.
But the irony is that a man can have many women, and he wants his own women to tolerate this qiē, and remain loyal to him, and keep his chastity for him, in order to declare in this way that the unconditional rule of men over women is the fundamental law of society.
Some women even believe that they should be chaste for men, they give up their freedom and rights in exchange for "chastity" in the eyes of men, and oppress other women with the idea that men oppress women.
The last bit of freedom that women retained was finally completely lost after being brainwashed by men—it wasn't until Shen Ruyu's growth era that there were finally some signs of recovery—women had the freedom to choose to dedicate themselves to the people they wanted to dedicate themselves, but although in her time, there were countless men and women who were brainwashed by men trying to re-oppress these free women, they said that such women were dirty and cheap, in order to threaten and insult them, and want to make them reshackled and oppressed again.
Because there are many great people in Shen Ruyu's era who have excavated a lot of development and logical truths about the world, and found the truth hidden under layers of illusions, she stands on the shoulders of these giants, standing taller and seeing more than everyone in this era, and many truths in that world are still applicable in this world-
After the matriarchy was overthrown, women lost a lot of independent rights, monogamy seems to be the last bottom line they strive for, but for a man in feudal society, the wife is just the mother of his children, his highest level of housekeeper and the head of the servant, what is the meaning of such a "wife" and "main room"? Even if you bring down countless concubines and give birth to countless children, what is there to be happy about? Wives and concubines are just poor people persecuted by the patriarchal system, and what kind of victory is it.
Precisely because men can enjoy domination over other women in addition to their wives, monogamy is ultimately aimed at women and not men—women can only have one husband, but men may not have only one woman.
However, such unfairness, as long as the men cunningly give their wives the title of so-called "main room", she can swallow her anger, and even feel that the man's three wives and four concubines - anyway, he is a concubine and the concubine is different - to live as a matter of course.
And monogamous autogamy, although based on patriarchy, is one of the signs of the beginning of the civilized age. In every sense of the word, this system is a kind of progress, and this progress is by no means the creation of a zào by men who do not want to give up the convenience of having many women to this day.
Men can practice strict monogamy only if women insist.
It's like war, if you take a step back, the other side will gain an inch.
The great man said: "For monogamy did not arise as a result of the reconciliation between men and women, but as a result of the enslavement of women by men, as a conflict between the sexes unprecedented in the whole of prehistory. 】
[The original division of labor originated from the division of labor between men and women in order to have children, and the first class oppression that appeared in history was the oppression of women by men. Monogamy is a great historical progress, ushering in an era that continues to this day, but at the same time any progress is a relative regression, because in this progress the happiness and development of some are achieved through the suffering and repression of others. 】
Shen Ruyu didn't want to be the oppressed side, so she was very lucky to come to the world of the female honor, but at the same time, she didn't want to be an oppressor.
It is precisely because she is a woman in a patriarchal society that she knows how disgusting the oppressive side is, and how helpless the oppressed side is.
Shen Ruyu remembered that before she crossed over, she had seen a news article about women who were □ by criminals, and some public opinion did not care about the victims, but accused her of "flies don't bite seamless eggs" and "if she doesn't go home so late, she must not be a girl from a good family", until later there was a news of men being □, and when the women fought back with what they had said, they knew how ridiculous and ridiculous those accusations were.
The oppressed have been living with such discrimination and misunderstanding, and this is still the modern age when men and women are greatly equal.
If a person is able to inflict the pain on herself and others without hesitation after gaining strength, then it can only prove that she is just as disgusting as those murderers.
You can't be influenced by people you hate and become like them.
Women are different from men, they should be gentle and tolerant, because they are born with a soft motherhood, not a beast.
So Shen Ruyu was very sympathetic to Wen Ming. She even sympathized with Wei Nan and Li Cong, because they were oppressed in this world, bound by nature, restricted in freedom, had to live in layers of constraints, and were burdened with a lot of worldly pressure-
But this kind of oppression can't be changed in a short period of time - at least Shen Ruyu knows that she can't change it even if she tries her best, this is not something that one or two people can shake, and all she can do is to give them some comfort and help when they are hit on the head by the world.
Shen Ruyu felt that this was the kindness and respect that people who had received higher education from the civilized era should have.
Therefore, she told Wen Ming, "Because my logic is that the fate of your parents and the words of the matchmaker are the decisions of your parents, not yours, but your fate, no one can decide for you except yourself." So the so-called marriage contract was built on the wrong basis from the beginning, but although I think so, but the world does not think so, so if you are willing to abide by it, then this is your decision, you are to me, the future husband of my friend, and you are not willing to keep it, then this is also your decision. You decided to quit your family, and at the same time decided to bear the consequences of quitting, then I admire you for making such a decision and your courage to resist. ”
"So I ...... I want to help you. I think people like you are really precious, and you shouldn't end up with a miserable ending. Because...... When you divorced, you only hurt Wen Jun alone, if Wen Jun decides to forgive you, you shouldn't bear the extra punishment and let yourself fall into loneliness for the rest of your life, I think...... This will be a heavy blow to those who want to resist, but are still hesitating - they will feel that this is the end of resistance, and since it is painful to resist or not, and the risk of patience is lower, then I should endure it. ”
"I don't like this kind of thing. This may be naïve and stupid, but I just want to give a kind of encouragement to those who are oppressed - it's okay, don't suffer silently knowing that you won't be happy, you have the right to choose your own life and make yourself happier - I want you to see more scenery and meet more people, these things should be something that everyone can see, but there are so many people who are oppressed and can't see anything, why don't I take you to see it? ”
"So I won't reject you just because you're Wen Jun's fiancé - if I reject you, it's only because ...... I do not like you. ”
"If I like you, even if you used to be Wen Jun's fiancé, I will take you to beg her for forgiveness."
Wen Ming nodded in a daze, as if he was stunned by her words, and seemed to feel that it was so normal for these words to be said by her, "So, will you like me?" ”
Shen Ruyu looked at him and smiled lightly, "It's hard to say what will happen in the future, maybe it will, maybe it won't, but I can only say that I ...... now There is no love for you. ”
The author has something to say: I'm here to update! To be honest, I haven't updated it for so long, and I have a kind of escape mentality...... Because before today, I really didn't know how to write down the qaq
How to say it,I've always written about the same people before.,This seems to be my first original.,In fact, at the beginning, I wanted to write an emperor's various bitter and secret love for the courtiers, but he couldn't finally blacken and rush into the palace, only to find that the courtiers smiled at him and waited for a long time to try the water...... But later I found out that the emperor and his courtiers or something, do you want to write *? But I still want to write romance.,So I became a woman.,The male owner is the emperor of the female world.,The female owner is a highly praised white lotus-like courtier.,The resistance is greater.,The conflict is more fun.,But every time I actually write it out at the end it's completely different from the plan.,After writing the first chapter, I feel cute.,But I can't hold back the following.,But I didn't expect to get some girls' likes.,So it's slowly written to the present.。
At first, it was just a stupid white sweet with a very simple idea, but the author was always greedy, or the pursuit of progress, and wanted to make their world seem more real and realistic, and I found that if I wrote according to the previous idea, it would be too naïve, like a fairy tale, and I couldn't convince my own logic - how could the family and the imperial power coexist peacefully?! There is a daughter who is secretly in love with the emperor, and the parents are the patriarch of the family, what will they definitely do! So slowly and suddenly I had to write Zhengzhi...... In order to prevent blocking, I still use pinyin...... But I don't have enough brains! I'll only write silly white sweet! There is no palace power struggle at all, and it is super tangled to write! And because I joined the female respect, I was entangled with my friends at the beginning, why did the world form a female honor? I couldn't help but want to explore it, so I ran to buy a copy of Engels's "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State", which tells the history of the replacement of matriarchy by patriarchy in the barbaric era, and I wanted to know about it, and the result was ...... The more I wrote, the more complicated it became, and I felt like I was about to lose it...... My pen power is not that good! I wonder why I'm torturing myself so much, wouldn't it be nice to write a simple love story? But if you want to write a love story, what should the male protagonist do! The female protagonist is out.,The male protagonist is the emperor.,No matter what I think.,I can't think of a reason why he can appear! According to logic, the emperor has not been in the palace for a long time, and he is a male emperor, maybe there will be a man-made anti-forced palace as soon as he turns around, so I am entangled to death, I don't know how to write it down, in fact, I really thought about it, super dazed, I don't know where the direction of this article is, the author himself is confused, what do you say qaq, and then I went to cry to my friend and complained that the male protagonist of my article didn't appear for too long and didn't know what to do, my friend told me, you didn't write a love essay between Shen Ruyu and Li Cong, Isn't what you're writing about Ruyu's experience in the world of women? The feeling of waking up the person in the dream is like this, whoa! At the beginning, the love tone of the idea was crooked, but I didn't modify it in time, no wonder the card was particularly tragic, so after resetting the tone, I came to update!
In addition, there are some other things.,It's to urge the girl to score more negative.,Love is deeply responsible.,Let people wait until it's my fault to hate from love.,Although I don't know if you're still there.,Or say I'm sorry.,In addition,There are a lot of girls who have criticized and built yì.,Well,I've seen it well and then thought about it.,If you don't change it, you can encourage it.,The main problem is focused on the problem of jade slag.,And Wen Ming.。
Ruyu I don't think she's a scumbag, but it may not be the same in the eyes of the author as the reader, after all, I'm my own mother...... In fact, the first chapter said that she is a rumored very romantic character, but Ruyu herself does not have this cognition, she is a modern person, some things are considered flirting and intimate behavior in ancient times, she may have done it inadvertently, I didn't think it was a big deal, I didn't realize it, in fact, following the local customs is to follow some less important customs, but the nature is difficult to change, when Ruyu came through, although she grew up from a young age, her character has been formed in her previous life, and it is impossible to change a lot. This is also the reason why she has not been able to integrate into this world, because her three views have taken shape in modern times, and it is difficult to reverse, so in order not to collide too miserably with this world because of different concepts, Shen Ruyu has basically been staying at home, and I have said it in the first few chapters, but in fact, she is very sullen and has a lot of ideas in her heart, which can be seen from this chapter, so if you talk about scum, say that she hooks up everywhere, I think it's really a bit wronged, she is at most a Mary Sue, because many people like qaq
Then there is Wen Ming, a girl said that Shen Ruyu robbed her friend's fiancé......
Wen Ming's character, I was going to write from the beginning as a rebel, a person who wants to fight or even just wants to fight in that kind of oppressed society.
There is someone he likes, but he is forced by his parents to marry someone he has never seen, there are rumors of relatives on him, and he also knows how much damage to his reputation is caused by a male protagonist's proposal to withdraw from the marriage, but he is ready to become a monk and do penance, and before penance, he finally expresses his heart to the person he likes - he didn't expect Shen Ruyu to agree, and he also knew that there was little hope.
So Shen Ruyu wants to help him - she doesn't help all poor people, she only helps people who fight for herself, because no matter how pitiful you are, you don't want to resist and choose to be patient, then there is no need to help you, and if you resist, she has the ability to help you. This is the three views that Shen Ruyu has been educated and formed in modern times - otherwise, maybe he will stay in the Taoist temple forever in the future, but Shen Ruyu feels that he is not guilty of this-he is not even guilty.
Moreover, Wen Ming has seen too few people, and the things he has seen are too few, he doesn't even know what he wants, so he clung to Shen Ruyu and didn't let go. is like the kind of woman in the old society, she only serves men and pulls children, and she can't see anything else, Wen Ming too, after retiring the marriage contract, he feels that he is ruined and can only be a Taoist priest, Shen Ruyu wants him to see that the world is very big, and many things that feel like the sky is falling, but in fact, it is nothing more than that.
In fact, Wen Ming's character design was not like this at the beginning, he was Cui Wenjun's fiancé, but he liked Shen Ruyu, he was a negative character, ruthless, and unscrupulous to achieve his goals, but then I didn't know how to write it out that he was a completely different person, and then I thought about it, or let him become Cui Wenjun's fiancé, because I don't want to add any more roles! And Cui Wenjun is also a person who came through time, so she can understand and sympathize with him, and said that if he can be with the person he likes, she will bless him.
Speaking of which, Wen Ming will not be with Shen Ruyu in the end, but he will find what he really wants in the end, which can be regarded as the reward of me, the creator god, for this kind of person who has the courage to fight, similar to the kind of good people who have good rewards......
There is also a heart-to-heart thing, well, I didn't write what they talked about before, Shen Ruyu just enlightened Wen Ming, let him not just look at her, look at the surrounding scenery more, and tell him about her original world, Wen Ming is very rebellious in his bones, so he likes to listen to men in power, and the current world is reversed, Shen Ruyu wants him to know that "this thing can also be done by men, break the shackles".
Hey, my article is actually quite silly and sweet...... Everyone is as soft as a fairy tale......
Alas, in general, because Kavinka had been in it for too long, and he thought about a lot of things, and he couldn't help but want to talk to everyone, so he ended up writing something like an afterword that only appeared at the end...... This is not an afterword! There will be a plot later! However, because the author is testing the waters with this article, it seems to be a real body, and there may be a lot of things mixed in it to discuss, nonsense, and nonsense...... Actually, what I want to say is, thank you for being such a wayward author, such an article with many shortcomings, or a girl who has been waiting for me, I will work hard to learn and improve qaq thank you
