Chapter 7 Reasoning
In the city, the messenger left first with two hostas, and someone was in charge of the donkey to be exchanged, but the woman in charge of these things was angry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The woman was Eyue's second wife, and the reason for her anger was not because of the exchange, but because her son was going to be sent to Xia Cheng as a hostage, and she did not say how long it would take to return.
She only has such a child, and the rest of the children either died after birth or were miscarried before they were born, so they were extremely pampered.
Maybe there is a little other thought, the son left the tribe, but he was afraid that he would be forgotten, what should he do in the future?
In desperation, the person in charge of counting had no choice but to find Number Nine, who was talking to his eldest son and telling him something to pay attention to.
She was about to go on an expedition, and with her cleverness, she guessed that her clan brothers would follow Eyue, and she would not leave too many people from her clan in the city.
Her mastery of numbers is much higher than that woman's, but Eyue won't let her care, because there are many of her clansmen in the tribe.
It's like a cat, it may not steal food, but if you put a fish in its mouth, it's not good for the cat or the owner of the fish.
So she doesn't resent it, and she doesn't think about whether Eyue doesn't trust herself or other nonsense, and she knows very well what to do and what not to do.
After Eyue leaves, she should be the supervisor of the city, and be in charge of the affairs of the city, so her brothers, sons, and clansmen must follow the expedition and cannot stay in the city.
The eldest son listened to his mother's teachings and kept nodding his head to indicate that he would pay attention.
"There are many places in Summer City that are worth your visit, and the reason why your father chose you is because he values you, don't treat this as exile, remember to see with your eyes and listen with your ears."
"Mom, I know it's not exile, so don't nag it, I know that. Don't worry about me here, just help your father take care of the city. Last time, my uncle said something that he shouldn't have said in front of his father, he thought he was helping me, but in fact he was harming me, and you should tell him more, don't do this in the future. As you said, I've always wanted to visit Summer City. We are like a cow, they are like a bird, my eyes will not look at the bird's legs that are thinner than the cow, but at the bird's wings. ”
Shu Jiu nodded with satisfaction and took out a jade pendant, and the son bowed his head respectfully, asking his mother to hang the jade pendant around his neck and leave slowly.
Shujiu was stunned for a long time, and E Yue didn't tell her how long she might be a hostage, so she was inevitably a little reluctant in her heart.
The number man waited for a while before he said something about the woman, and the number nine sighed, shook his head, got up and went to the woman's room.
Although the woman was still angry, she still greeted her respectfully when she saw Shujiu coming in, and asked her to sit down, knowing that she was here to dissuade her, she was inevitably a little resentful in her heart.
Shu Jiu didn't say these things directly, but asked with a smile: "Sister, I remember that there will be a few more days, which will be the day you give birth to Su'er, right?" ”
The woman was stunned, not knowing why she suddenly asked about this, but her heart was still warm, and she nodded: "Yes, there are still seven days." ”
"I remember when you almost died, it hurt for a long time and you didn't give birth."
"Yes, it really hurts to death, but after he was born, when you held him and let me see, looking at his wrinkled body and listening to him crying there, I seemed to forget the pain, for fear that he would be hungry, so I quickly hugged him."
The woman tilted her head back and smiled on her face, even though more than ten years had passed, it seemed like it was just yesterday.
Shu Jiu smiled: "Yes, you were sweating all over in pain before, crying and shouting that you would never want it again, but after you were born, you hugged it tighter than anyone else." The pain at that time, but in exchange for your thirteen years of laughter, if you were to choose now, would you be willing to hurt again? ”
"Don't say it once, I'm willing to hurt a little more."
"Yes, people are like this, if you want to be happy, you always have to hurt first. A woman's true happiness is to hurt once first. ”
The woman nodded, Shu Jiu walked over and touched her hand and said, "You want to let Su'er go to Xia City, your heart hurts too, right?" After all, he was still young, only thirteen years old, and he never left you. ”
"Yes, the cow can't find the calf and has to bark a few times, of course my heart hurts."
"But how do you know that after this pain, you won't live faster? When you first did that kind of thing, you just knew it hurt; When you give birth, you only feel the pain, and you don't know what happened after the pain. ”
"But ......"
"Now you don't want him to be a hostage, but when you are old, what about the real happiness is for him to be by your side? Or do you want to see him win the support of his people in the city? You are not old yet, just like when the millet was not yet born, I always wanted not to hurt so much, but I couldn't imagine the joy of watching him grow up after the pain. ”
The woman lowered her head, recalling the decision to give up when she was in pain, a little overwhelmed.
"Sister, what mother doesn't love her own flesh and bones? But the real distress is to think about the future for the child. When I was younger, my mother never allowed me to go out to play and forced me to learn the arithmetic calendar, and at that time I was very envious of the children who played outside, and thought that my mother didn't like me. ”
"But when I grow up, if it weren't for those number-shaped calendar divinations, would I be able to marry Eyue? Can I become a priest of a tribe? These real happiness, compared to the pain of the past few years when I was a child, I know that my mother really likes me, this is the way for the mother to really feel sorry for the child, for the future happiness, there must always be pain first. ”
"If you go to Xia City as a hostage, the clansmen will know that this is to attack the settlement of Beidi, and it is for the clansmen to be convinced. Without the convincing of the people, even if he is the son of Eyue, what is the use? Just like Eyue's younger brother, he is the son of the old chief, but he can't be convinced by the clansmen, what else is there besides the slave fields that have been allocated? ”
The woman bowed her head and said, "But he...... He followed me to take care of the tribe's goods and food. ”
"The clansmen will only remember that it is you who cares, and will not think of him. Now that I have gone to Xia City, it is different, and the clansmen will remember that it is Su'er as a proton. I don't want to feel distressed now, don't you feel distressed when you see him not being convinced by his clan and becoming like that in the future? Of these two types of pain, which is more difficult to bear? It's like giving birth to a child, it hurts at that time, but if you don't have a child, will it hurt when you watch me tease my son? Which is more unbearable? ”
The words of the number nine were already a little harsh, and the woman was a little cringe, not daring to look up at the number nine, and finally nodded and said, "It's all up to you, I know it's wrong." ”
"It's not wrong, what's wrong with feeling sorry for the child? It's just that you didn't expect it to be many years later. Go, the people outside are still waiting for you, go and count enough donkeys from the public property, and take a few more from my brother, and say that I said it, as punishment for the wrong thing last time, and replenish the public property. ”
The woman slowly retreated to the door, and when she saw that the number nine nodded as if encouragingly, she withdrew.
After the woman left, Shu Jiu sighed, shook his head, and didn't know if it was helpless or something else, and muttered: "My stupid brother is afraid that he won't easily take out the donkey and confiscate it, that is to disobey the order, make trouble, I will deal with it justifiably, it is best to deal with it before the expedition, it is always better to deal with it, it saves some worries, otherwise it is always bad." ”
At both ends of the scale, one end is the future of her son, and the other end is her brother, she knows how to choose, after all, she is also a mother.
In Xia Chengzhong, the same thing was not so troublesome, Chen Jian first gave the hairpin to Yu Qian'er, and then told Yu Qian'er and E Yue about the agreement, and by the way, told Yu Qian'er that he didn't agree immediately, and came back to ask her.
Yu Qian'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Why do you still want to ask me?" ”
"I'm afraid you think I'll send my sister out after I became Ji Xia."
"And what if I don't say yes?"
Without waiting for Jian Chen to speak, she smiled and said: "Lied to you, you went to war and I was not allowed to go, and no one praised me for my good calculations when you left." Also, brother, we can deceive those tribes, and say that we have discussed and let the leaders go, and they will definitely not go, and I will say that I will go when the time comes. When I get to Echeng, I have to do something to let my people know that I am very good. ”
"Why?"
"Because you said that you want me to be the leader of the council, then I will be, and if you want to be convinced, you have to convince everyone, lest they think you are biased. It's good that you are partial to me, so don't let them say it. I want a hairpin, you gave it to me, you want me to be the leader, that's the hairpin you want. ”
She held the hairpin and said, "I have to go and tell the sisters that this is the number nine that I have to give it to me, and they asked." I'll go to the council in a minute. After saying that, he trotted away and disappeared.
Chen Jian took another hairpin and walked into the house of the red fish, where she was spinning the thread, and when she saw Chen Jian come in, her hand shook slightly, and she looked at the torn thread with some annoyance.
Jian Chen stood behind her, combing her hair and tying it into a bun, while talking about the incident between him and Eyue this time.
Inserting the hairpin, the red fish did not stop, and asked with a smile: "Is it good-looking?" ”
"Good looking. Don't you take a look at it yourself? ”
"Then I won't look at it, you think those weird clothes look good, I don't think they look good, and they must not look good now. Why, you gave me a hairpin because you want me to help you take care of the city? Anyway, I don't have any clansmen in the city, so you must be most at ease with me. Yu Qian'er is gone, and I don't understand the arithmetic, I want to clean up this mess, and a hairpin can be exchanged. ”
Jian Chen smiled helplessly, Hongyu frowned, spun a piece of thread before he stopped and said: "Send my former clansmen and some slaves to Luodao to dig struvite stones, and watch the boat; Mix the men left behind by several tribes and mow the grass, some on the south bank, some on the east and west, and divide the chiefs to take care of them, so that they will not be in charge of their own people. ”
"The two tribes, quarreling over the land, were divided together, and one of the chiefs was chosen to take charge. I don't care about anything else, just the ones left by Yu Qian'er. The people you take with you on the expedition should not all belong to your four tribes, and leave more people in Yangguan. ”
She seemed to say it casually, but she eliminated all the problems that might arise in the tribe, the slaves could not escape from the chaos on Luo Island, the tribes were separated and mixed without worrying about the leader's dissension, and there were basically no clansmen around her who could be trusted.
stood up and stretched, touched the hairpin behind his head with both hands, as if he didn't care about the words that he had obviously racked his brains to come up with just now, and smiled and hooked Chen Jian's jaw and said: "I'll take a bath, I'll wait for you in the old place at night, I don't know how long you can come back, I want it." ”
ps: It looks like it will be on the shelves tomorrow, don't ask for a monthly pass, thank you book friends.
One is the first time I wrote it to the shelves.,The newcomer's pen power is insufficient.,I don't feel qualified to ask for a monthly pass.,When I'm done, I'll be cheeky and ask for the second book.。
The second is meaningless, there are few niche books, I am a sour grape player, rather than looking at the ranking of the monthly pass list very low, it is better to anesthetize myself: Ah, I deliberately did not want the monthly pass, so there are so few. It will be much more comfortable in this way. Well, when you can deceive yourself, you can deceive yourself, and even if you believe in yourself, life will be very easy.
I won't say much about the words of thank you, in short, thank you for your support to get to this day, I am nothing without your support. Thanks to the editors for the recommendation.
Don't expect to explode or something, I'm handicapped. Code out this chapter before putting it on the shelves and give it to everyone.
In addition, if there is someone chasing "Spring and Autumn I am King", I will help him to canvass for a ticket, and thank July for pushing my book when he was a seedling, although he has never talked about it, and I will remember it.
Another: The day before yesterday, the recommendation votes suddenly skyrocketed, and I guessed that it might be a hornet's nest, and today someone told me to give birth because of women's rights or something, uh...... I said it was too esoteric, I didn't understand it at all. I still remember the old movie "Xiyingmen", the female tractor driver quarreled with her boyfriend, and when her boyfriend came to her, she angrily drove the tractor and splashed the other party's water. After so many years, I still remember this scene, and I think it's very beautiful, because it really has a spirit that can hold up half the sky, not the crooked twitter in the movie now. Women's rights are too profound, my cultural level is not high, I don't think about this aspect at all, and I don't understand what women's rights are.
This is a YY book from the other world.
As for me, I'm just a newbie, and the first book on the shelves at the starting point has to be slowly improved. Maybe the next one will be better and better, and you will have one more book to read, newcomers need to be tolerant and caring, fertilize and water to grow up, and they can't be too demanding. It is also encouraging that kindergarten children can calculate multiplication and division within ten, and I am now at the small class level.
Finally, I would like to ask you two irrelevant questions about traditional culture:
You say that if we started the industrial revolution spontaneously, the sweltering environment of the steam engine, the operating temperature of forty or fifty degrees, the lice are overgrown, and the scalp may be ripped off at any time because the hair is twisted into the machine...... Will you still tie your hair in this environment? What kind of arguments will it be then?
If we enter capitalism spontaneously, instead of being influenced by external powers, then there will be no contradiction between workers and capitalists under traditional culture? Of course it can't be, if not, what would the bloody accumulation stage under traditional culture look like? Could it be that it is different from the history we know because of the difference in cultural circles?
