Hearing them talk about the future of the country again, Li Kejing said to Keding on the side: "You all love to care about big things, and you are all big husbands. My little girl really can't understand why you are so enthusiastic about the affairs of the country and the nation, as if the world is yours, is this taking the world as your own responsibility? ”

When Bernan heard that his niece was disdainful of this, he asked her, "Kejing, your names were all chosen by your grandfather himself, but do you remember what the original meaning was?" ”

Ke Jing said: "Uncle, of course I remember this, I know that there is a decision after the stop, and then I can be quiet." So I've been looking for peace of mind, a mirror-like emptiness. ”

Bernan praised: "The last sentence is good, as quiet as a mirror, when things come, they are reflected in the mirror; When things go, there's nothing in the mirror. It's really amazing to be able to get to this level. ”

Ke Jing smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm just pursuing, and I can't do it yet." ”

Bernan said, "Don't worry, you can say such a thing, it seems that it has been achieved occasionally, and it is not easy." In addition, you are free and easy by nature, and it will not be difficult to come to this realm. ”

Li Kejing has outstanding appearance, and the whole family has pampered her since she was a child, Li Zhongnan, as a father, knows that although she is quick to talk, she has a firm mind in her heart, so he said to Li Bonan: "Big brother, don't be too used to Kejing, I can't control her, if you get used to it, no one will take care of her." ”

Bernan smiled and said: "Second brother doesn't have to bother about this, in terms of self-cultivation and enlightenment, I think her future achievements will definitely be above you and my brother." ”

Ke Jing walked behind Li Bonan, slapped her shoulder and said, "Uncle, you still know me." ”

Li Bonan saw that Kejing was clever and was afraid that she would be arrogant, so he said: "You still have to read your books well before you have the resources to settle down." Society is changing, and if the daughter who marries out in the future wants to live well, she has to rely on her own ability or skill. Of course, the dowry is also very important, and what I am most afraid of is sitting on empty food and extravagance. You have a chance, to learn about the situation of the Luotuo aristocracy, since the Republic of China, only three or four years, how many royal relatives and nobles have fallen rapidly, the lessons of the past, you must know. ”

Li Keding has a deep relationship with several younger brothers and sisters, especially with Kejing who grew up together since childhood, and he loves him very much, listening to his father talk about how his daughter is married, he has a lot of opinions about it, so he said: "What are you afraid of, our family will always take care of Kejing, does it matter if the daughter who marries out, I want to take care of it." ”

The brothers Bernan and Zhongnan both laughed and said to Keding: "I'm afraid that it will not be easy for you to manage it in the future, and with your in-laws, you can't help yourself." But if you have this heart, you should do this best. As long as your brothers and sisters are united and share weal and woe, we will be relieved. ”

Influenced by the new ideas, Ke Jing has long disdained the dogma of a woman's husband, and vowed to be an independent woman who is praised by everyone, and proudly said to her uncle and father: "Look at what you said, what's wrong with my in-laws' family, can't I sell it to them, if they dare to treat me badly, I will come back, and I will not be in their house." ”

Li Keding knew that in the hearts of his father and second uncle, after a girl got married, she would be a member of someone else's family, and her mother's family would become a relative. Although equality between men and women is now advocated, and the law stipulates the freedom of marriage and divorce, in the hearts of my father and second uncle, divorce is a big deal, especially for girls, which means that there is a loss of character and humiliation of the ancestors, which is absolutely unacceptable. Thinking that this change in concept was really slow, and even spanning one or two generations, he said to his father and second uncle: "Although equality between men and women is advocated now, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve it in 20 years." The combination of the two surnames is good, the husband and wife are originally equal, but later there are many inequalities. There is a long way to go, and it may not be until our next generation that equality between men and women can become a reality. ”

Bernan listened to his son's words, thinking that he was really going to grow up, and began to be so assertive, our generation is about to get old, but he was afraid that although his son's original intention was good, he didn't know the power of the day, so he said to Li Keding: "If you want to do things quickly, you can't do it, and people can't compete with the whole society." For example, girls bind their feet, and most people still support it; Because in the concept of many men, a woman with non-small feet cannot be married. Another example is husband's power, the concept of a thousand years, not that it can be changed if it changes. There is a huge inertia in the operation of society, and this is the power of social habits. ”

"What kind of husband's power, what kind of foot binding, it's simply unreasonable, destroying a woman's feet, it's even interesting." Ke Jing said dissatisfiedly, "This bad habit of binding feet is the first of all evils." But what my uncle said was also right, it is difficult for people to compete with the whole society. For example, in our school, there are only a handful of women who have never wrapped their feet, and sometimes it even makes me feel that it looks unsociable and awkward to not bind my feet. ”

Li Keding said: "The change of customs always requires the brave to take the lead and contend with the society, and then the confronting group can gradually become larger, and finally form a new trend until it is unstoppable." Keding said this, the topic returned to marrying his daughter, thinking that if Kejing was wronged after marriage, how could he sit idly by, so he said quite responsibly: "When it comes to husband's power, no one is anyone's appendage, let alone a slave." In the future, whether I compete with society or not, as long as I live, I will not let the two sisters Kejing and Keqi be wronged. I don't care what others think, no matter who their in-laws are, I just know that they are my sisters, and I have a responsibility to protect them. ”
