Chapter Ninety-Six: Tracing Back to the Source and Asking Questions

The ancient feudal etiquette and religion oppressed women very seriously, and the ideological influence of male superiority and inferiority of women was that the women themselves did not have much sense of resistance, so in history, whenever there were a few open-minded women, most of them would not get too good evaluation, that is, Li Qingzhao was like this, and some people said that even if they stayed with their husbands for a lifetime, until their husbands died, some people said that Li Qingzhao was lonely and unbearable, and always wrote some obscene lyrics.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, although women did not change much, but at that time the social atmosphere was quite open, and it was not uncommon for women to remarry, and men did not attach much importance to women's chastity.

In the Song Dynasty, it was not so strict, after all, Zhu Xi and others also began to dominate in the middle and late stages of Zhao Yun of Song Lizong.

The oppression of women by feudal etiquette and religion really entered a harsh era in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the middle and late Ming Dynasty had begun to be in dire straits.

Li Mi didn't know much about this earlier, after all, a lady like Wu Baizhi also made a private agreement with Fan Chongxian for life, and a little girl like Qiu Dong is also very informal, Xie Yingluo walks the world, happy and hateful, Lu Chongning's lady is actually a jealous and hateful woman.

These things gave Li Mi an illusion, so that he could not see the real living conditions of the women of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he has come to Cai Ge Village, he finally has a new understanding.

After the earth-shaking changes in the village, the villagers all lived a good life and moved into new houses, and the Yao family was the only one left in the old village.

And the reason is only because she is a widow, and she is a slut who does not know the point of inspection in the mouth of the individual, although they have no real evidence, and they do not catch the adulterer in bed, but they firmly believe that Yao is by no means a clean woman.

It's ridiculous to say, if it wasn't for Yao who saved Zhou Yu, how could they live a good life?

When Yao contacted Zhou Yu and took care of Zhou Yu, they were still regarded as prodigal, but the result was that they enjoyed the benefits brought by Zhou Yu, while Yao, the greatest hero, could only continue to live a humble and poor life with the shame of slutty and woman.

Li Mi didn't have an in-depth understanding of Yao's personality, and he didn't dare to say anything fair for her, but Li Mi could also think that these village men harassed Yao's a lot, whether they ate or didn't eat their mouths, Yao's stigma was caused by these men.

These people all spit in the cup, but they lifted the cup again, and then they wanted to take advantage, which was really infuriating.

However, Yao is also a casual person, it is estimated that she is also happy to be poor, or used to loneliness, and is more adapted to how to bear this world that belongs to men, she seems very indifferent.

There was a rustling sound in the silkworm room, thinking that those chubby silkworm babies were eating mulberry leaves, which was Yao's main source of livelihood, but it was the chief Cai Xuzong, who often used various names to apportioned to Yao's head, otherwise with her hard work, she would have lived a good life a long time ago.

Seeing Li Mi coming, Yao was a little flattered and a little restrained, because the last time she saw Li Mi, Li Mi didn't have any contempt for her, among all the men she had seen, only Li Mi had such clean eyes, he was a man who really looked at women as people.

"Cai Lichang, you go out first, I have something to ask my eldest sister, you don't have to accompany me."

Yao's is also in her early thirties, Li Mi is not too much to call her sister, Li Mi also wants to be closer, maybe these villagers are hindered by their own authority, and they dare not bully anymore, so that Yao's life dilemma can be slightly improved.

"Li Zhutou, this mother-in-law has never seen much of the world, and she can't speak... If there is anything unclear, the head catcher can also ask me..."

Cai Xuzong was also a little weak-hearted, and at this time, he also recommended himself, but Li Mi still waved his hand, his face was gloomy, and he just glanced at Cai Xuzong, who felt a chill on his back and walked out.

Li Mi also ignored it anymore and looked around, but when he saw that the Yao family was surrounded by four walls, he inevitably felt pity, so he said to the Yao family.

"I can call you a big sister, and I have the heart to help you, if you have any grievances, just say it, I will help you out."

Li Mi thought about it for a while, and said to Yao, who seemed at a loss, that he really wanted to help this poor woman.

However, Yao's face was blushing, he lowered his head deeply, there was some horror in his eyes, and he replied in a low voice: "I'm doing well, don't worry about catching heads..."

Li Mi didn't understand why she was ashamed and frightened at first, but she looked at Cao Jian'an and the three of them, and found that the three of them had evil smiles in their eyes, and only then did she understand.

In the end, he is not familiar with the Yao family, and suddenly wants to help, which inevitably gives people a feeling of ill-intentioned and other schemes.

Although this Yao is thirty years old and his appearance is mediocre, his plump figure makes people's hearts stir, and his blood is down, I am afraid that even Yao's family has misunderstood Li Mi and thinks that Li Mi has evil thoughts.

Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh, there is no hatred for no reason in this world, and there is no love for no reason, sometimes the kindness to others will lead to misunderstandings and even burdens.

Li Mi wanted to explain, but there was no need to think about it, if he explained it himself, he would seem to be weak-hearted, this kind of thing has always been more and more described, it is better not to mention it.

So Li Mi got straight to the point.

"That being the case, I won't mention this matter, but now that I have something to ask you, I hope you can answer honestly."

Yao Shi heard Li Mi say this, but he was a little disappointed, but he only nodded, and Li Mi asked.

"You said earlier that Zhou Yu lived in a grass house by the river this week, not only with fine clothes and food, but also rich families offered young girls to warm his bed, but is there such a thing?"

Yao didn't expect Li Mi to ask about this, and he was a little shy immediately, but he seemed to be nervous, and hurriedly replied, "Yes... The rich members of the village are proud of this, and even the chief of the village... I also offer my own daughter... However, Mr. Zhou is a serious person, and he may not look down on these rural village girls... So there's nothing wrong with them..."

"The chief also has a share?" Li Mi could hear that Yao's was sincere in defending Zhou Yu, for fear that Li Mi would misunderstand Zhou Yu's personality and should be telling the truth.

Yao also knew that he had offended the chief by saying these words in a hurry, and he was just silent at this time.

Li Mi then said to Cao Jian'an: "You accompany the lieutenant to go back and bring his daughter over, I have something to ask." ”

Cao Jian'an didn't know what Li Mi's move meant, and immediately walked out, the village was not big, and it was not as good as a cup of tea, so Cai Xuzong came back with his daughter.

The lieutenant seemed very anxious, Xu thought that Li Mi didn't look down on Yao, and now he was eyeing his daughter.

Li Mi saw that although the daughter of the Cai family had darker skin, she was indeed a little beauty, and then looked at Cai Xuzong's expression, so he felt his mind clearly, and said to him.

"Cai Lichang, I just asked her a few words, and it will be clear when she asks clearly, you don't have to think about it."

Cai Xuzong breathed a sigh of relief: "What do you have to ask about the head catcher, but what you ask is, although the little girl is stubborn, she is the most honest." ”

Li Mi nodded, and then asked the girl, "You don't have to be nervous, it's just a small problem, when you served Mr. Zhou, have you ever seen him have a scar on his back?" ”

As soon as Li Mi said this, the girl suddenly raised her head and said to Li Mi: "You... How do you know! ”

When Cai Xuzong heard this, he couldn't help blushing, isn't this tantamount to admitting that she had a skin-to-skin relationship with Zhou Yu!

Now that Zhou Yu has left, he can't look down on anyone, and no one wants to mention this matter again, after all, it has an impact on the reputation of his daughter's family, how will he marry in the future?

But he didn't expect that as soon as Li Mi opened his mouth, it was such a question, and before he could stop it, his daughter answered honestly!

And Cao Jian'an and the others were ecstatic, because they knew that according to historical records, Zhou Yu died young after having back sores, and if this person had a scar on his back, wouldn't it prove that he was Zhou Yu!

If he has no scars on his body, maybe he should be reincarnated and reincarnated in the world, but if there is a scar on his back, it means that he is immortal for a thousand years.

And no matter who it is, as long as you bring this thousand-year-old immortal Zhou Yu to the Son of Heaven, this life will be endless glory and wealth!

It's just that Li Mi's face is not happy, this is a direction of investigation, immortality is against the laws of nature, he would rather believe that Zhou Yu is a traverser like him, rather than believe that he is immortal.

This Zhou Yu also has scars behind him, if it is not accidental, it should be intentional, and the purpose is even stronger!

Li Mi was still thinking about the joints here, but Cai Xuzong scolded in a low voice: "You idiot child, what are you talking nonsense!" ”

His daughter, as her father said, was an honest child, and she could hear her father's reprimand, but she couldn't hear her father's hints, so she immediately refuted.

"My daughter didn't lie, Mr. Zhou just asked me to help her wash her feet and warm the bed, and never let me serve him to change clothes, but once, I secretly saw it while he was changing!"

Cai Xuzong was even more annoyed when he heard his daughter say this, although the girls in the countryside are relatively wild, but it is embarrassing to say such a thing as peeking at a man changing his clothes!

"And said! Come back with me! What rotten tongue to chew! ”

Cai Xuzong was angry and was about to pull his daughter away, but Li Mi stopped him and said, "Cai Lichang, I haven't finished asking yet." ”

"She's just a little girl, childish words, seeing the wind is rain, where do you know so much, the villain is also afraid that she will talk nonsense and delay the big event of catching the head..."

Li Mi waved his hand and continued to ask the girl, "This Mr. Zhou, what do you do on weekdays?" Do you have a particular preference? Or what interesting places have you visited? ”

The girl was only thirteen or fourteen, it was the rebellious period, the more her father didn't believe her words, the more she tried to remember, touched her chin and thought for a moment, and then shook her head at Li Mi.

"Mr. Zhou has never been to other places, just live by the river, someone came to ask him for help, he put forward a request, clearly marked the price, Tong Su is not bullied, sometimes he wants bamboo and wood, sometimes he wants stone, the grass house is built by his own hands, he does not let others help, and does not let people approach... Mr. Zhou is a kind person, but he is too cold..."

The more the girl spoke, the more energetic she became, and she seemed to remember something, and said to Li Mi: "By the way, Mr. Zhou likes to carve some gadgets, earlier my father asked him to help, he asked for obsidian and white marble, I saw him carve a chess piece with these stones, and there are many villains..."

When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and finally asked something useful!
