When Yingxian returned to Jingyangzhai, Princess Yuanxi still did not come back. Yingxian was afraid that Situ Su would worry, so he wanted to say goodbye to Yingxue. Ying Xue said helplessly: "Today is also unfortunate. Hope you can meet the princess next time. However, there is one more thing that you need to help with right now. ”

Ying Xian saw Ying Xue walk to the side of the bed on the shelf of Huanghuali Moon Cave, open the bed curtain, take out a cloth bag from under the pillow, and turn around to stuff it to herself. Yingxian took the cloth bag and touched it, it was cold to the touch, and it looked like a number of ingots from the shape, and asked in surprise: "What is this for?" ”

Ying Xue smiled: "This is not for you. He lowered his voice: "After you leave the palace, you have to stuff this package into the hole of the locust tree as soon as possible, and the person is still waiting for me to pay the other half." ”

Ying Xian suddenly realized, and then asked, "A night pearl is not enough?" A mere palm is worth so much money? And I'm wondering, Celestia...... How did Princess Celestia have so much money? ”

Ying Xue explained: "After all, the eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and there are naturally many people who want to please her. And the emperor has always doted on the eldest princess and often rewarded her. These obtained jewelry and antiques, what should be sent, what should be realized, can be regarded as the best use. As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered the jade bracelet she had given to Yingxian, and her face flushed slightly.

Yingxian didn't take the last sentence to heart, and asked, "Do you need to pay that person so much money?" He just cut off the palm of his hand. ”

"Ahem, court officials, princes and nobles, these guys are naturally worth more than ordinary people. Besides, if you don't offer a high price, others won't want to take that risk. ”

Ying Xian was speechless for a while. Ying Xue asked again: "By the way, is there any movement over there in the princess's mansion?" ”

“…… Nothing new. ”

"You really haven't seen the second prince all along?"

"I really haven't seen it. I can't even remember what he looks like now. ”

"Still, you'll see him eventually. So if there's any news, let me know. Be careful. ”

Yingxian said "Okay", and suddenly he didn't want to stay any longer, and walked out of Jingyangzhai in three steps and two steps.

Out of Jingyangzhai, the twilight is four, the sunset in the west is crumbling, and the blood-red face seems to be brewing some cruel conspiracy. Yingxian was surprised: It turned out that it was so late, and I had to hurry back to the princess's mansion. Walking in a southeasterly direction, a woman came in front of me. When she saw Yingxian, she began to greet her. When the woman approached, Yingxian found that she didn't know her. The woman was in her thirties, wearing a light purple narrow-sleeved collared blouse embroidered with folded branches and small sunflowers, and a red dress with gold and gold sewn on beads. The eyebrows are blowing clouds, the slender phoenix eyes are slender, and the whole body exudes a bookish breath. Yingxian saw that she was wearing a hairpin black gauze hat and a pearl on her forehead, and thought: Could this be a female official?

The woman saw Yingxian and smiled: "Yingxian girl, long time no see!" Are you going to see your sister? ”

"Ah...... Be. "It turned out to be another one who knew me and I didn't.

"Is the eldest princess in Jingyangzhai? I'm going to find her. ”

"I heard from my sister that the eldest princess went to visit the emperor's illness. When I came out, I hadn't returned to Jingyangzhai yet. ”

"Oh...... Then I don't think I have to go. I also said that I would ask my husband to reply to the book I had just compiled "The Collection of Virtuous Mother's Family Training". ”

Yingxian's heart moved and asked, "May I ask ...... you?" ”

"Gu Yubo. The girl doesn't remember? The woman stared at herself strangely.

Gu Yubo...... Gu Yubo...... Ying Xian read this name, and suddenly thought of what the second princess said, isn't this really the Gu Si of the Shangyi Bureau! At that moment, Shi Li said: "It turned out to be Gu Si, and it was disrespectful." She didn't expect that a person she had long wanted to see would meet on the road today.

The sunset is long, the green trees beside the road are dyed with slanting light, and the birds flapping their wings and passing low through the air, fluttering, but adding a bit of quiet and deep meaning to the dusk of this spring. Gu Yubo and Yingxian returned on the same road, and after a few words of greeting, they asked about the situation of the second princess. Ying Xian answered them one by one. Gu Yubo said in a nostalgic tone: "In the past, when Princess Wenji was still in the palace, she always respected me. Although she is young, she has known the general situation since she was a child, and she has always been quiet and quiet. In this deep palace, I think there is only the second princess who can achieve the four words "quiet and quiet".

Yingxian said in his heart: If you look at her now, I'm afraid you will use the words "no desire and no desire" to describe her. He asked again: "Then Gu Siji, what do you think of the eldest princess?" What kind of woman is she? ”

"Celestial princess, her intelligence and courage are not inferior to those of Xu Mei. If it's a man, he will be able to do great things. It's a pity that she was born as a woman. ”

Yingxian laughed and said: "Isn't there still a saying of 'women don't let them have eyebrows'?" Since the eldest princess doesn't let the boy, how can you lend her any "Collection of Virtuous Mother's Family Training"? Is this to teach her to be a good wife and mother? ”

Gu Yunbo said: "The "Collection of Virtuous Mother's Family Training" edited by me records the good words of virtuous women in previous dynasties to educate their children, and there are many sayings about self-cultivation and family harmony. The last time Princess Celestia happened to see this book at the Shangyi Bureau, she asked me to lend it to her. However, because it had been a long time, Shangyi Bureau was planning to use this book, so he had to ask her to return it. ”

"Oh. What do you think is a virtuous woman? "Yingxian is interested.

Gu Siji replied calmly: "If you can always maintain a gentle and obedient temperament, be loyal, pure, and self-disciplined, accept the ancient precepts of 'three obedience and four virtues', abide by the distinction between inside and outside, and be consistent, so that all kinds of relationships in the family are harmonious and friendly, you can be called a 'virtuous woman'." ”

"Obediently, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and it is too difficult for a strong person to make all kinds of relationships in the family harmonious and friendly. By the way, what Gu Siji just said about 'three subordinates' refers to 'unmarried to the father, married to the husband, and the husband to the son'? ”

"Exactly."

"What about the four virtues?"

Gu Yubo faintly felt a trace of unhappiness and said: "The 'four virtues' naturally refer to women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's skills. It was recorded as early as the "Zhou Li". How could the girl forget even such a basic thing? ”

Ying Xian felt quite funny in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said, "I want to know what Gu Siji thinks about these three virtues and four virtues?" To tell you the truth, I myself felt very sorry for the woman. If you want to adhere to the 'three obedience', it is equivalent to saying that you have to obey others throughout your life, and what freedom and fun is there to be a human being? Especially what is 'married to a husband'. If that's the case, why get married? I've never figured out what I'm doing with these 'good names'. ”

Gu Yubo changed color and said: "The way of husband and wife is a great festival of human relations, how can it be child's play!" If the husband is not virtuous, he will not be able to control his wife. If a wife is not virtuous, she will not be able to serve her husband wholeheartedly. In this way, if the husband loses his prestige and the wife does not abide by righteousness, what kind of system will the world become? Ban Zhao's "Female Commandment", presumably the girl hasn't read it well! Her voice grew sharper, obviously suppressing the anger in her heart, but there was disdain in her eyes.

Yingxian asked noncommittally: "What about the four virtues?" And what is the saying? ”

At this time, Gu Yubo walked under a pear tree that dissolved like snow, and slowly played with a bright and light pear flower, with a very elegant demeanor. Shaoqing turned around and said, "Please listen carefully, girl, go back and memorize it well." After saying that, he cleared his throat and read: "Quiet and chaste, neat and tidy, shameful in one's own actions, and law-abiding in movement are women's virtues." Choose words to speak, not to speak evilly, to speak from time to time, not to be tired of others, it is a woman's words. The dust is filthy, the clothes are fresh, and when bathing, the body is not dirty, and it is called a woman's appearance. Concentrate on spinning, not teasing, fasting, drinking and eating, and serving guests, which is called women's work. These four are the great virtues of women, and those who are indispensable. ”

Her expression was solemn, her sentences were read in a subdued tone, full of energy, and Ying Xian listened quietly on the side, feeling that her brain was a little unable to turn. It took a long time before he said: "As Gu Siji said, women can only stay at home, and they can't engage in other professions?" ”

"Zhou Yi" teaches wives and concubines to correct their reputations, "Zhou Li" discusses women's merits, "Spring and Autumn Biography" is in favor of women's meritorious deeds, "Xiaoya. Si Gan has the sentence "only wine and food are discussed". Of course, these are all women's duties. ”

"But have you ever thought that the authors of these books are not all men? They want to firmly occupy a dominant position in this society, and they will deduce a set of great principles of harmony, saying that the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, in fact, it is to grasp the control of women. and then try to strengthen it by all means, forcing the woman to accept it unconditionally. A talented woman like Ban Zhao was brainwashed in this way. Of course, she can't be blamed only for this. ”

Gu Yubo looked at Yingxian in shock, as if he had seen some incredible freak. Yingxian looked down at his clothes and said, "What? Is there anything strange on my clothes? With that, he deliberately reached out and brushed the dust off his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw that Gu Yubo's face was pale, and his throat seemed to be holding his breath, but he was blocked by something hard, and he couldn't make any sound. took the opportunity to say: "Actually, I'm not saying that women should be exactly like men. For example, when it comes to having a child, even if a man wants to, he can't help. It is also necessary to advocate gentleness, shouldn't men and women be gentle to others? But why emphasize 'harmony'? If you are unlucky and encounter all kinds of filth in the world, and blindly 'harmonious', in my opinion, it can be regarded as helping to make things worse. ”

Gu Yubo's whole body trembled, his face was red and white for a while, and after a long time, he sighed: "That's it." Today's young women are talking more and more whimsically. I wonder if I'm too old, or if it's changing too fast? Alas, Miss Yingxian, let's leave it at that. You...... Shape up or ship out. ”

Ying Xian watched Gu Yubo's back go away, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart-it seemed that it was the first time she had such a strange feeling-maybe what she just said was not wrong for the vast majority of people here, but why did I have these inappropriate thoughts!

In the past two months, all kinds of encounters have once again surged like a tide, setting off monstrous waves and submerging themselves layer by layer. And those unsolved mysteries are like countless gravels that seal the mouth and nose, making it difficult to breathe. Shang Yingxian...... When will you regain your memory? The road ahead remains murky. An old owl flew up to the treetops and screamed "whoa", pulling her back from her meditation. The old eagle gathered her wings and looked up at the sky steadily--she suddenly felt that the blackbird's cold and lonely attitude seemed to hide all the mysteries and mysteries of life.
