Chapter 20: A Vague Dream (Part II)
"What did the third sister say? Sister Hu and I ...... Wedding feast? It's all about it. Fan Jin shook his head and smiled, "I have received a lot of help from her on weekdays, and today I have the opportunity to repay it, and I am borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."www.biquge.info It's the third sister, you...... It seems that life is good now, is the new brother-in-law good to you? ”
The woman seemed to be relieved when she heard Fan Jin say that she had no marriage contract with Sister Hu, and then shook her head and said, "Nonsense, who said I got married?" Who dares to spread this rumor, see that I don't break his legs! I...... Life is not good, Kefu Kefu, I can't hurt people anymore, it's good to be a person like this now. Jinzai, why did you come to the city, and you still want to look at me? ”
"I've always wanted to come and see the third sister, but you know, there is a high hall at home, where is it so convenient. This time it was not summoned by the county order, I want to enter the city, and I am afraid that it will not be easy. ”
"Really? Do you really want to come and see me all the time? The woman's emotions were a little excited, and she took a step forward, but she stood still, holding her sideburns with her hands, "Then you didn't say it earlier?" I...... The way I look, it's ugly to death, there's nothing to look at. I thought you had forgotten about the third sister. ”
"Looking at what the third sister said, how could she forget. Besides, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, and I still remember the appearance of the third sister. ”
The woman gradually became less restrained than Fang Cai, and as Fan Jin walked and talked, it seemed that she had returned to the village, and the time when the two met.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, Guangzhou has the convenience of the sea, the tributary trade of the city and the ship division can not meet the requirements of private trade at all, although the imperial court is engaged in the sea ban, but the folk sea trade, has never stopped. With the power of the imperial court, it is also powerless to completely ban maritime trade, and smuggling maritime trade has always been one of the livelihoods of the people in the coastal areas.
A few years ago, the imperial court opened and closed in Yuegang, but only the people of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou were allowed to go to sea to operate, and the people of Guangzhou could only go to sea privately, seeking wealth against the dual risks of water patrol and nature.
Maritime trade is very dangerous, but the benefits are just as amazing, and now it is the golden period of maritime trade, and those who go to sea are not too unlucky to make a fortune. In every village in Jinsha Township, there are people who eat water rice and make a living by catching the sea, and Xiaofanzhuang is no exception. At that time, the most outstanding man in the village was not Fan Jin, but Fan Tong, who made a fortune by pooling the capital of the whole village.
He is far older than Fan Jinwei, and he is shrewd enough, he has rushed to the sea several times, and he has made some silver taels, and in addition to handing over part to the village, he has also made a fortune. bought a field and a house in the village, and also married a daughter-in-law, who is the woman in front of him, Liang Pandi.
Her father was also a merchant who went to sea, but his luck was not good enough. The boat he was riding on capsized in a storm and he had no choice but to sell his daughter to Vanda in exchange for the funds to turn over.
Before Liang Pandi, Liang's father already had two daughters, and after Pandi was born, he gave birth to another one, but he was still a daughter. For Liang's father, several daughters are like burdens rather than flesh and blood, and their only role is to exchange them for gifts. Brother Pan is thirty years younger than Fan Dazu, and the two can't talk about any feelings, nothing more than a simple trade.
Fan Da married her, in addition to because she was really outstanding, just to have a son. A year after getting married, because Liang Pandi never gave birth, he began to beat her, and the beating was very fierce, and half of the village could be alarmed when he moved. Many villagers are not worthy of being beaten like this for such a beautiful and moving woman, but no one dares to care.
Liang Pandi has no relatives in the village, and there is even a legend that his ancestor was a deserter. This statement is true or false, but she does not have a household registration and no relatives, which is doomed to be bullied and no one stands up for her. This is the most beautiful woman in the village, her appearance itself is the original sin, although she doesn't talk to outsiders, and she won't do anything to attract bees and butterflies, but she is still scolded by the women in the village for being a scratcher, a slut.
Because Fan Jin is a scholar trained in the village, he has some occasional contact with Fan Da, and he has known this sister-in-law early, but Fan Jin was still an honest man at that time, and he didn't talk much with his sister-in-law. It wasn't until after his soul was pierced that an accident made Fan Jin reacquaint himself with this sister-in-law.
It was not long after he had crossed over, and while he was reading under a tree, a ploughing ox suddenly became sexual and rushed towards a child working in the fields. Liang Pandi, who was usually silent and scolded by the women pointing at his nose in front of him, threw himself out like crazy, and first picked the child away. Then he hit the cow with a lightning-fast fist and kick, knocking the cow to the ground.
The child was saved, but Liang Pandi did not get any words of gratitude, but the owner of the cow forced her to compensate for the cow. Fan Jin really couldn't see it, he came out to speak for her, he was a scholar, and he came up with a lot of ideas for the village, and someone listened to what he said, and the matter was over, and since then he and Liang Pandi have become confidants.
Fan Jin could see that Liang Pandi knew kung fu and was very skillful, so he wondered why she was beaten by Fan Da, an old man in his fifties. In the face of his question, Liang Pandi answered very simply, it is natural for a husband to beat his wife, and it is a great rebellion for his wife to resist. Although he learned kung fu from his father, he used Jin Jue to prove that his body was not touched by men other than her husband, not to resist her husband.
Liang Pandi doesn't know how to read, he admires people very much, and Fan Da goes to business again, so he has nothing to do. As soon as Fan Jinyi offered to teach her literacy, she happily agreed. Fan Jin's teaching to her is not a simple text, but a spirit of rebellion that deviates through teaching.
From women's independence, women's autonomy, to equality between men and women, and equal rights for husband and wife. These words, if they had been said on other occasions, could have been attacked by a crowd. But in Liang Pandi, it is very effective. Her kung fu is really good, but her brain is very wooden controlled by her father, and she is still a blank sheet of paper in terms of personality and thought. This state is suitable for reshaping, coupled with the trust in readers, Fan Jin, who can only be regarded as a big child, has become Liang Pandi's life mentor.
Gradually, from simple writing and abacus, I understand that men and women are equal, women don't need to look at men's faces, and it is even more natural for a husband to beat his wife. Liang Pandi, who has always been a quiet talker, has become lively and cheerful, at least when facing Fan Jin, he talks a lot.
She was always harassed by men in the village and scolded by women before, so she was too lazy to dress up, but after she came in with Fan, she began to clean herself up again, and a flower that gradually withered and regained its vitality. It was from then on that Fan Jin began to call her third sister, not sister-in-law.
Fan Jin is still young, and the contact between the two did not cause any turmoil. But Fan Jin's soul is an adult, Liang Pandi's appearance is really lovely, and his figure is also vigorous. even had an indescribable dream for the first time in his life, and the heroine in the dream was this third sister.
He planted the seed of resistance, and wanted to see if the flower of resistance would be born, and whether Liang Pandi would fight back against her husband, but Fan Tong, who didn't want to return for a long time, was gone. Other villagers sent news that Fan Tong's people and ships were all dead, all his property was lost, and Liang Pandi became a widow in a blink of an eye.
She has no heirs, and the situation is just like the little seventh sister-in-law of Dafanzhuang, who originally belonged to Fanda's land, and will be taken back by the clan, and she will be driven out of the village. It was also Fan who came in and out to negotiate with the first head, and finally won a compensation for Liang Pandi, so that she would not leave the house.
When she left the village, Liang Pandi cried a mess, and only Fan Jin was the only one who sent her. Going to Guangzhou to make a living, and even cooking dog meat, is Fan's idea to go in and out. Before that, the dogs he stole from other villages or the chickens he touched were also cooked for him by Liang Pandi, and he was very confident in this woman's craftsmanship. I believe that with this craft, she can at least support herself.
A woman with no relatives was driven out of the village where she lived, and her mentality was like a lonely goose, and she didn't know where to go. It was also Fan Jin who took her hand and talked about the truth for half an hour, which gave her the confidence to survive and the direction of progress.
At the time of separation, Xu is emotional out-of-control reason, Liang Pandi actually hugged Fan Jin fiercely, and pressed his head tightly against his chest. At that time, Fan Jin was only fifteen years old, and Fan Jin himself was not sure whether her actions had any other meanings, but that taste made him have endless aftertastes. The only regret is that he is not old enough, coupled with Gao Tang's urging, otherwise, he believes that he can take that opportunity to turn his dream into reality.
Although they are only separated by more than 40 miles, the barrier of identity makes the contact between the two not close. At the beginning, there were still some messages passed through Guan Qing and Gu Bai, and even after Liang Pandi stood firm, he asked them to send some meat. However, Fan's mother did not have a good impression of this widow who was nearly ten years older than her son, especially when she found out that the other party only sent meat to her own family, and then turned her face and scolded people, and threw out all the food and drink sent by the two guys, and the Liang family stopped sending people. It's just that there is occasional news from Hu Butcher, such as who the Liang family has fallen in love with, or which old man he is good with, as for whether it is true or not, no one knows.
This time when he entered the city, Fan Jin's first goal was of course to jump the dragon gate, and the second goal was to come here to have a look and see if what Hu Butcher said was true or false. As for what to do after judging the authenticity...... He himself couldn't tell.
The indifference and embarrassment at the beginning gradually disappeared, and Fan Jin found that when he said that he had nothing to do with Sister Hu, the familiar third sister came back.
