After the expiration of the 100-day filial piety period, Lin Jin did another ceremony for Lin Ruhai, and then took his family to the capital. Because Daiyu is weak, Brother Lin is young, and Aunt Lin is also old, although there is a doctor like Xuanniang with her, Lin Jin is worried that they will not be able to support their bodies, so she told the boatman not to be in a hurry and not to hurry.

The group walked slowly. When crossing Huaiyin and stopping at Xuzhou, because this waterway is a river dug by manpower, the water is shallow and cannot support the big boats, and the big river needs to open the gate to release water.

It is unfortunate that Lin Jin and his entourage came, and only opened the gate yesterday to release water, because it is now the dry season, and the rain is less, unlike the rainy season, the gate is opened every five days, and the gate is opened every ten days, so Lin Jin They need to wait for nine days to move forward. Because he was depressed when he stayed on the boat, and Lin Geer seemed to be seasick, Lin Jin left people to watch the boat, took people ashore, and the group chartered an inn in the city to stay.

After settling down at the inn, Lin Jin took Brother Lin, who was originally sick on the boat, and became lively as soon as her feet stepped on the ground, to find Daiyu, and handed over the men's clothes she wore two years ago, "Well, hurry up and change your clothes, and I'll take you out to walk around the street." ”

Daiyu, who was very smart, was rarely clumsy, looked at the men's clothes that Lin Jin brought over, and said very curiously: "Brother Jin, what are you doing for my men's clothes?" ”

Lin Jin gave Daiyu a "why are you so stupid" look, and said with a smile: "Of course I let you wear it, and I will take you out." Didn't I just say that I'm going to take you to the streets? ”

Listening to her words, Daiyu's eyes suddenly lit up and she was eager to try, but she still refused politely: "Isn't this okay?" After all, our boudoir daughter can't show her face......"

"What's so bad?" Lin Jin retorted: "This time here, no one knows you, you are changing into men's clothes, and people can't recognize you, what's wrong with following me out to evacuate?" Don't believe that everyone's daughter has to go out of the door, and the second door is not stepping, this kind of nonsense, you really have to be locked up in the back house all day, and you can see the boundary under your nose. The rat's eyes are short, and he only knows that he is arguing for long and short points in the palm-sized place of the inner house, and his vision is restricted, so it is not the appearance of everyone's ladies. ”

Although Daiyu wanted to try it, she was still a little timid to let her challenge the conventions and inherent rules of this society, so she argued: "But the rules are like this, as a daughter who has not left the cabinet, she should be quiet and quiet, and keep ...... of peace."

"What are rules? Rules are set by people, and naturally they can be broken. Lin Jin looked at Daiyu, extremely serious, and said very firmly: "I can't say that you don't follow the rules, but I can guarantee that if one day, you don't want to act according to the rules of this society, and what you want to do, as long as you don't break the law and discipline."

For example, learn to wish Yingtai and others a private life; Learn from Mulan to do this society, the world thinks that it should be done by men; Xueyi Anju passed on her pen and ink and talent to the outside world, learning from her husband's second marriage after his death, but because he was dissatisfied with the greed for money and poor character of her husband Zhang Ruzhou, who married later, she not only denounced her husband, but also divorced her husband; …… No matter how much you do, in the eyes of the world, it doesn't matter if you go against the requirements of this society for women, are not tolerated in the world, and seem to be deviant. The Lin family, with me, will not only never turn you away, but also your eternal reliance and backing. ”

"Brother Sumire-" Daiyu was startled by Lin Jin's words, and looked around with a frightened expression, so when Lin Jin came, she drove everyone out, and saw that except for the two of them, only Brother Lin, an ignorant child, listened to her words, and she was relieved, but even so, she couldn't help but be very afraid, and lowered her voice and said: "You, what are you talking about, do you know what you are talking about?" Why did you suddenly say this? Are you crazy, why do you suddenly say these inexplicable things? Do you know how deviant your words are, and how intolerable they are to the world? ”

"I know." Lin Jin replied calmly. "Sister, I have been in my heart for a long time. Since there is a division between yin and yang between heaven and earth, it doesn't matter which is higher or lower between men and women, in fact, women are not necessarily inferior to men.

wrote "The Female Commandment", and thought that the behavior of the female weak Cao family Banzhao was not similar to the "Female Commandment" she wrote, and she wrote the book "The Female Commandment" because of the background of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor was short-lived, and most of the successors were dolls, so the queen mother listened to the government in the court, which became the most common thing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dictatorship of foreign relatives also became the most common situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

Sighing, Lin Jin smiled: "Nowadays, when people mention the word 'Zhang Chang's thrush', it is often used to describe the love of husband and wife, and most people forget it. In fact, he euphemistically asked Zhang Ji, a famous poet at the time and a member of the official water department, whether he had been admitted to the imperial examination. Therefore, many things and many rules have been distorted by later generations. For example, the most famous sentence 'A woman is virtuous if she is not talented', although it is to persuade women to act mainly with virtue, but it does not mean that women cannot be talented. The 'nothing' here means 'there is nothing that is', that is, 'there is talent in the original, but in the heart it is as if there is nothing'. In fact, the real meaning of this sentence is: even if a woman is talented, she does not take the initiative to reveal too much (commonly known as implicit) is virtue. It is not that it is not unclear that women are talented and talented. On the contrary, it is good for women to be talented, and to have talents. ”

Although in later generations, Lin Jin felt that society still had unfairness to men and women, but compared with this era, it was really a lot of progress, she looked at Daiyu and sighed: "I am telling you these deviant words now, not to instigate you not to study well, but to feel that it is not easy to be a woman."

Bai Letian of the Tang Dynasty said, "Life is not a woman's body, and a hundred years of bitterness and happiness are left to others." 'I have exhausted the sufferings of the women of this world. What happened to your mother, my mother, and my grandmother, as well as Hongluo, Xuanniang and others, whether it is the high-ranking Houmen noblewoman, or the lady of everyone, or the little family Jasper from an ordinary family, or a lowly person,...... Everyone's life is actually a bag of tears. Even in the eyes of outsiders, some people seem to be happy, but in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, they are just a cluster of flowers. ”

Thinking that in order to get rid of this era, this society, and the fate of women being arbitrarily manipulated, she had to disguise herself as a man and survive in this world as a man, Lin Jin smiled and said, "I feel sorry for them, but I also know that I can't save them." All I could do was do everything I could to protect my family. And sister, as my family, I want you to live your life freely and comfortably. If you need to fight against certain rules of this society, then I will try, try so that I can protect you. ”

"But in that case, you're going to have a hard time." Daiyu looked at her stunned and whispered.

Lin Jin shook her head and said indifferently, "It's okay." ”

Stuffing the men's clothes in her hand into Daiyu's hand, she pushed her to the inner room and said, "Okay, don't think so much, hurry up and change your clothes, it's important for us to go out shopping." While no one knows you at this moment, hurry up and change your clothes and go out with me, otherwise, it will be even more difficult to go out when you return to Beijing. ”

"But......" Daiyu turned around, because of Lin Jin's words before, there seemed to be several villains fighting in her mind, and her heart was like a mess, and there were many doubts.

"It's nothing." Lin Jin interrupted her unceremoniously, shouted loudly for the maid to come into the house to wait for Daiyu to change clothes, pushed Daiyu to the inner room, and smiled through the curtain: "The most important thing now is that you hurry up and change your clothes, and then we go out." As for the rest, put it aside for now. Because what I say can only be fulfilled when I have the ability. Otherwise, you should think that it was a dream, or that I was just a liar who could only talk big and coax people. ”
