Chapter 119: What a big official
The virtuous queen is the virtuous queen, and a thousand taels of gold will be put in your eyes? What's more, it's still dirty silver. Ma Du sent the sycophants in time, "The eldest sister's open-mindedness impresses the younger brother!" ”
Ma Dajia obviously didn't take it to heart, "You gave Biao'er a share, he has already sent me two thousand taels of silver, and Wenying doesn't come to me to make up for it now, and asked his daughter-in-law to send me silver, I can't spend my monthly money every month, what do I want so much money for." By the way, I heard that you beat the mother-in-law who the old man invited to his house to bind his feet? Why is that? ”
Ma Du was surprised: "The eldest sister also knows about this?" I can't bear to see the girls suffer! ”
"It's better to suffer now than to be embarrassed in the future!" Ma Dajiao lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, revealing a pair of blue satin embroidered shoes, Ma Du only had time to look at it, she quickly put it down, "You can see Sister A's big feet." ”
"What's wrong? Sister's feet are so beautiful! ”
Ma Dajia smiled and pouted, "I will coax people, do you know that Sister Ah is still in the boudoir at the age of twenty, just because of these feet." When I was a child, my stepmother bound my feet, I couldn't stand the pain, I cried and made trouble, and my stepfather saw that he couldn't bear it like you, so he didn't wrap it. But when I got to the age of marriage, I was embarrassed, Sister A was not good-looking, the father-in-law of the small family couldn't bear to let me marry and suffer, and the big family disliked Sister A for not binding her feet, so she didn't marry until she was twenty years old. ”
Ma Du didn't expect Ma Dajia to have such an experience, so he explained: "Foot binding can be described as the biggest bad custom in the world, not only persecuting women, but also endangering the country and the nation. “
What do you mean by that? What is Ard's opinion? "When it comes to the family, the country, the world, and the like, Ma Dajia immediately came to the interest.
Needless to say, the painful process of a woman's foot binding, Sister A has also experienced it. After wrapping, it is difficult to move, and if you go a little farther, you will be out of breath, unable to do heavy work, like half a cripple, let alone work in the field. ”
Ma Dajia said, "Generally, the women who bind their feet are women from large families, and they also pay attention to the right people when they marry, and they generally marry into large families, so they don't have to work in the field." ”
"Sister didn't think about it, what if all the women in the world were bound to their feet, don't you think it's terrible to wrap all the peasant women to wrap their feet?"
Ma Dajia laughed in surprise, "The farmer is not stupid, although the woman can't pull the plow, but she can also sow the morning glory, and the scythe is not slower than the man, who will let their family lose a labor in vain." ”
"Of course, farmers are not stupid, but if the world is like this, they will also be forced to do so, just like the footbinding can spread from the Qinglou to the big households, and the large households can also spread to the small households, and then the world will lose half of the labor, which is a big loss to the country!"
Ma Dajia quipped: "In the past, I only thought that my brother was lazy, but I didn't expect that my heart was quite big, you are already a good doctor, but you still have the ambition to be a good person." ”
Ma Du hurriedly shook his head, "The little brother is not so thoughtful, I just want to say that there is nothing wrong with big feet, women have not allowed them to shave their eyebrows throughout the ages, and there are many women who have left their names in history, but I haven't seen any of them who have bound their feet."
It's far away, let's just say that if the Huang Daopo wrapped her feet, she could run from Songjiang Mansion to Hainan to learn textile technology from the Li people to improve the loom, and she could run back upside down and transmit advanced textile technology to the Central Plains. Let's just say that if Sister Ah is a small foot, I'm afraid she won't be able to work hard for her brother-in-law. ”
Ma Dajia nodded, "Sister knows that Big Foot is good now, but it's useless for you to tell Sister A." She suddenly lowered her voice, "This world is not the prince's, even if it is one day, you should tell him." ”
Ma Du patted his head, really! Lao Zhu hasn't become an emperor yet, and there is still a large area of territory in the world waiting for him to fight.
"That's right! There's nothing wrong with big feet! This king loves big feet! Lao Zhu entered the house with a smile.
I rub! Lao Zhu is listening to the root of the wall again, no wonder he likes to engage in spy politics.
"Wang Yejing is talking nonsense!" Ma Dajia took a bite and went out of the room, eighty percent to get food for Lao Zhu.
"Does my brother-in-law like big feet too? So when my brother-in-law sits in the world, he will abolish this bad custom of binding feet. Ouch! Before he finished speaking, Madu was kicked in the ass.
"King Ming is in Chuzhou, talk nonsense again, let your sister clean you up!" Lao Zhu is really hypocritical, even his wife admitted it in disguise just now, and he is still hard-mouthed.
"I heard that my brother has made a fortune, and today I sent a lot of money to the palace, and it's all gold, it's a big deal, haha......"
"Brother-in-law said that he laughed, the younger brother is just doing some small business, getting some money to subsidize the family, and he can't let grandpa live too shabby." Ma Du arched his hand and said: "This money was given to me by someone else, although the younger brother is young, he also knows the truth that if he is honest, he will prosper the country, and if he is greedy, he will ruin the country, and he dare not take the rights given by his brother-in-law to trade with others!" ”
"Hmm!" Lao Zhu said earnestly: "If my brother can say this, my brother-in-law won't treat you as a child." The world is undecided, and my brother-in-law still has a lot of things to do, and it is the time to employ people, and I can't help my brother if I can't help it. ”
"Nope! No! No! The younger brother is young and ignorant, his knowledge is still shallow, he can't take on heavy responsibilities, and he has to read and practice calligraphy, and it's not too late for him to work for his brother-in-law every day! There is also this official in Zuo Shilang, and the younger brother is also in name only, so my brother-in-law will allow me to resign. "Lao Zhu's next career is mostly thankless, it is better to hide in Fangshan and slip away quickly when the situation is not good.
Lao Zhu said with a smile: "There are a bunch of people in the Lixian Pavilion, all waiting for this king to be an official, you might as well have this king rush to beg you to be an official." You lazy child, you are used to following the old layman's idle clouds and wild cranes, and you will be pushed back when you are asked to do some work. I heard that I still rolled up my sleeves to burn the fire and boil oil, but I didn't feel dirty or tired, and I was worried about the feet of women all over the world just now, and I don't know what you are thinking......"
Lao Zhu is not only ruthless and poisonous, but also has a lot of words, even if Ma Du thinks that his skin is thick enough, he will be sprayed by him. The good nephew Zhu Xiaowu ran out of the inner room barefoot, interrupted the venom-spitting old Zhu, and saved the life of the poor uncle.
Since Zhu Xiaosi started going to school, the jet lag has gradually adjusted. On the contrary, Zhu Xiaowu, who has been harassed by him all the time, has not yet adjusted. It's almost noon, and I've just gotten out of bed.
"Mother, I'm hungry! Oh, father, uncle......" Zhu Xiaowu ran to Lao Zhu barefoot, "Father, I'm hungry." ”
Lao Zhu held Zhu Xiaowu in his arms, and even took out half of the baked cake from his sleeve and stuffed it to Zhu Xiaowu, "Eat first, it's good to eat for a while, or my little five are the most well-behaved!" ”
Lao Zhu walked to the desk with Zhu Xiaowu in his arms, holding the child in one hand and writing with a brush in the other, "Brother, no one can do this job except you, this is your letter of appointment!" ”
Ma Du didn't expect Lao Zhu to come as soon as he said it, so he took the piece of paper and only glanced at it, and couldn't help but say: "What a big official!" ”
