Chapter Ninety-Six: The Monk, the Gentleman, and the Widow

"I said, Great Monk, can't you be quiet?" , Chen Jialuo couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't even bother to call him a master; After returning to the room, Tianjing began to meditate and chant the scriptures, buzzing like a fly.

"Amitabha, Chief Helmsman Chen, forgive me! He has been chanting every night since he was a child, and now he has been doing it for 50 years. Although Mr. Chen is a Confucian, it is still beneficial to listen to Buddhist scriptures! After Tianjing finished speaking, he began to chant again.

Although I have a reputation for raising people, but it was my predecessor who took the exam, I was born under the red flag and grew up in New China, a promising young man, and I have a relationship with Confucianism. "The Tao is the way, the very way; The name is famous, and the name is not very famous; The beginning of the nameless world. The mother of all things. Therefore, I often have no desire to observe its wonders", yes, you recite Buddhist scriptures, I will follow the Taoist classics, and see who can't bear it first.

Facts have proved that Tianjing's fifty years of Zen work are not in vain, Chen Jialuo changed from the "Tao Te Ching" to the "Nanhua Sutra", and later took out the "Bible" to read, Tianjing is still unmoved; Chen Jialuo lamented, if you put it in the era when I came, get two subwoofers to put dark metal on you to see if you can stand it!

"Fourth sister-in-law, morning!" , Chen Jialuo came out with two dark circles under his eyes early the next morning.

"Helmsman, what's wrong with you?" Luo Bing asked, looking at the dark circles under his eyes.

Chen Jialuo looked at the sky with his eyes, "Last night, there were flies buzzing in my ears all night, and I didn't sleep well all night!" ”

"Where did the mosquitoes come from in this winter??" , Luo Bing saw the heavenly mirror emerging behind Chen Jialuo, and his heart was clear, covering his mouth and laughing, "Chief helmsman, your secret weapon kung fu is so good, next time there is a fly you use chess to beat him." ”

"As it should be!" , Chen Jialuo nodded solemnly, and continued to serve after breakfast; Chen Jialuo and Luo Bing walked two steps quickly and left the mirror far behind, today Chen Jialuo fell behind Luo Bing slightly, watching her graceful figure rise and fall on the horse's back, Chen Jialuo was itching, and secretly said in his heart, how good it would be if I could change positions with this horse now.

"Why is the helmsman riding so slowly today? But yesterday's flies were annoying? Luo Bing slowed down his horse slightly and walked side by side with Chen Jialuo.

Chen Jialuo looked ahead while sweeping Luo Bing's slightly reddened cheeks from time to time with the afterglow of his eyes, the more he looked at it, the more flavorful it became, no wonder people said that it was delicious but dumplings, the charm of this mature woman was really not comparable to that of young girls like Huo Qingtong and Li Yuanzhi, he couldn't help but start to drool again; "Fourth sister-in-law, the earrings you wear today are much better than the pair yesterday!"

"Hey, this is what your fourth brother gave me back then!" Luo Bing's voice began to become muffled.

"Little brother has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!" , Chen Jialuo said after hesitating for a moment.

"Helmsman, let's hear it!" , Luo Bing replied.

"Then the little brother is presumptuous!" , Chen Jialuo said, "The fourth sister-in-law is now the year of Huaxin, and the days in the future are still long, if you sigh all day long, I'm afraid that the fourth brother will blame me in heaven for not taking good care of the fourth sister-in-law." ”

"Hey, I am the surviving person of your fourth brother, and it stands to reason that I should keep filial piety for him at home; Thinking that your fourth brother has always been determined to drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains, this is why he did not stay with your fourth brother. On the day when Tartar gets out of the Central Plains, I will go back to Anxi to accompany your fourth brother! Luo Bing said, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Damn, feudal thinking kills people! Such a stunner has to keep filial piety for Tailai all the time, this is a waste of resources! The tradition of honoring women began with Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but it was not carried forward until after the prosperity of Li, and Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty issued a decree to specifically require widows to remarry in order to promote population growth; In the Song Dynasty, it was also common for women to remarry, such as Li Qingzhao married Zhang Ruzhou after Zhao Mingcheng's death, Tang Wan married Zhao Shicheng after divorcing Lu You, and so on. According to Chen Jialuo's concept, the tradition of observing festivals is not conducive to the development of productive forces, because it shows that the wife and children are the private property of the head of the family to a certain extent, and if this tradition is allowed to continue, it will be much more difficult to get women to work in the later period. This habit must be changed, starting with convincing the fourth sister-in-law! Chen Jialuo found an upright reason for himself, he persuaded, "Fourth sister-in-law, if the Red Flower Society wins the world, I will definitely make a law and no longer commend the festival women, and if someone forces people to keep the festival, they will be severely punished." The observance of festivals is nothing more than an excuse used by some useless corrupt people to deceive their surnames, and there is no need to observe them. ”

Luo Bing didn't expect her emotion to cause such a big reaction from Chen Jialuo, "If you remarry if your husband dies, won't you become a ** slut!" Luo Bing stammered a little when he said the word slut.

"The wife is faithful to her husband while the husband is away, and when the husband dies, the wife naturally has the right to plan for herself." , Chen Jialuo fortunately didn't say that he was loyal to each other, he still wanted to open a harem, "Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's queen Wang also married King Jin Sun first, and gave birth to a daughter, and only married Emperor Jing for the second time; But does anyone dare to say that the queen is not? ”

"That was all in the past, but now it's not possible!" , It is difficult to change a person's inherent concept, Luo Bing shook his head.

Chen Jialuo was not discouraged, he was also a teacher, and he knew that changing a person's mind was a long-term thing, so he slowly talked to Luo Bing about some celebrities who had remarried in history. When I arrived in the city at night, I was fortunate that there was a lot left in the room this time, but Chen Jialuo's eyes rolled, "Let's open two rooms, I'll still live with the master tonight!" ”

After arranging Tianjing and Luo Bing, Chen Jialuo walked out of the inn and walked two streets, found a bookstore, went in and rummaged for a long time and returned to the inn with a smile on his face. After dinner, when he returned to the guest room, Tianjing sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate and chant the scriptures; Chen Jialuo sneered twice, opened the newly bought book and read it aloud, "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a person from Yang Zhixian, whose wife Wang was the daughter of a thousand households, who married this Yang Guan'er at the age of 15, and gave birth to a daughter named Eldest Aunt at the age of 17. The eldest aunt Xu and Li Kebai of Li Shang. Yang Guan'er returned to his hometown of Yangzhou after giving his respect, and the husband and wife lived with the daughter"

It didn't take long for Tianjing to become red-faced, and he said angrily, "How can you recite such slanderous words of the Buddha, and you are not afraid of going to the eighteenth layer of hell after death!" Seeing that Chen Jialuo did not stop, the voice of Tianjing chanting Buddha carried internal force, trying to suppress Chen Jialuo's voice.

Internal strength, I will too! Chen Jialuo also had the luck to read the novel aloud and compete with the heavenly mirror, and then Luo Bingke, who lived next door, was offended.

Ahem, guess what book Chen Jialuo reads?
