Chapter 040: Mama Tan's Teachings
Picking up the tea cup that was resting on the high table, Mama Tan only took a sip, tasted it, and rested on the high table.
She is used to staying in the palace and is also cautious, so for drinking tea, she usually only takes one sip and tastes it, and will not drink too much.
"Biluochun in the girl's house is indeed good, but the old slave has been in the palace for a long time, and he feels tasteless when he drinks anything, so please forgive the girl."
Hibiscus burned incense in the house, and the smell on Song Jin's body that was difficult to get rid of was temporarily suppressed.
Mama Tan couldn't stand the incense, and after smelling it for a while, she began to cough dryly.
Song Jin hurriedly asked Fu Hui to douse the incense with tea, and then took a fan to fan it, and the strong sandalwood fragrance dispersed a lot.
"Does it matter? Why don't I ask someone to come back and show Mama?"
Seeing that Mama Tan covered her mouth and nose with an embroidered handkerchief, she coughed dryly, and her face turned red in an instant.
Song Jin was worried that something had happened to her in the Song family, and before Mama Tan could agree, she had already informed Fu Hui to invite Lang Zhong.
"Second girl, it's okay, it's an old problem."
"When I used to be a decoction maid in the imperial pharmacy, I was often smoked by those Chinese medicines, and over time, I fell into this problem, and when I smelled a pungent smell, I coughed dryly."
As Mama Tan spoke, her face gradually became ruddy, and Song Jin's worry in his heart was a little less.
But she still couldn't rest assured, after all, Mama Tan came out of the palace, if something really happened to their family, how could this be good?
Later, when Mama Tan went back, she asked Lang Zhong to follow her and take a look.
Song Jin was about to speak, when she saw Mama Tan glance at her and said slowly.
"Before entering the mansion and seeing the second girl with his own eyes, the old slave heard some things about the second girl in the mouths of those people outside. Everyone else said that the second girl of the Song family was a girl who had eloped with a man, was pampered and willful, did not know the etiquette, and did not know the general situation. ”
"But when I saw the second girl with my own eyes today, I realized that the rumors were not credible, and the second girl was a girl who knew how to count etiquette and understand the general situation. Since Lord Shangyi invited me from Suncheon to teach the second girl, the second girl should learn from me!
"The palace is not as good as your Song Mansion, maids and servants can come and go at will, walk and do things in the palace, the most important thing is to be obeyed."
Song Jin nodded, agreeing with Mama Tan's point of view, and replied.
"Since it was the eldest sister who invited Mama to her home and taught Jin'er the rules, Jin'er must learn from Mama!"
Song Jin was willing to follow Mama Tan to learn the rules and etiquette, but in his heart, he was 10,000 unwilling.
Following Mama Tan to learn these useless things, didn't you detain her in the house and not let her go out?
If she doesn't go out, how can she achieve her own career?
This happened to the embroidery workshop again, if she didn't come out to help her, it is estimated that Zeng Xiuniang would have to become a headless fly!
Mama Tan seemed to see Song Jin's thoughtfulness in her heart, and asked her lightly.
"The second girl has something on her mind? If the second girl has something in her heart, then the old slave will come back another day! ”
What a great mama!
At a glance, she could see that she had other things in mind, and now she was worried about the embroidery workshop dyeing and finishing incense cloud yarn, where could she calm down and learn rules and etiquette from Mama Tan?
But since Mama Tan asked, she simply told Mama Tan what was in her heart, and saw if Mama Tan agreed with her?
"I heard that Mama was in the Taizu Dynasty, she served in the palace, and became a close female official by Taizu's side, and later His Majesty succeeded to the throne, and Mama also retired, stayed outside the palace to retire, and later entered the palace."
"Mama's knowledge must be much more than Jin'er's, Jin'er has a bold question, I want to ask Mama, I don't know if Mama will allow it?"
Seeing Song Jin's solemn appearance, Mama Tan was not sure what kind of medicine was sold in Song Jin's gourd for a while.
"Since Lord Shangyi invited me to teach the girl, if the girl has any questions, I can do it, just ask."
Mama Tan said this because she thought that a little girl like Song Jin could ask some shocking questions.
Unexpectedly, she really asked a shocking question, which stumped her instantly.
"Jin'er had the audacity to ask Mama, how can women in the world live in peace if they don't rely on men?"
"Mama can agree that women don't rely on men to achieve their own careers."
"Well, this ......" Mama Tan had a few touches of red on her face, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
The second girl of the Song family in front of her looks like a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, how can she ask such a question?
Could it be that in her heart, a woman can also live in peace without a man?
The three outlines and five constants, three obedience and four virtues, do you still want these?
Do you want the rules left by your ancestors?
After thinking about it, Mama Tan decided to reply to Song Jin's question first, and smiled on her face.
"The second girl's idea is very bold, it is like no one before or since. It's just that the girl forgot that as a woman, relying on men is where she can survive. ”
"Even if you don't have knowledge and don't know the rules and etiquette, you must always keep to yourself, follow the rules, teach your husband and children, and don't do anything out of the ordinary, which is where a woman lives in this life."
Song Jin knew that Mama Tan had been serving in the palace for a long time, and her thoughts were imprisoned, so she didn't dare to have these bold thoughts, and she couldn't have them.
If a woman relies on a man for everything and everything, and when she grows old and decrepit, the man finds a new love, who should the woman rely on?
If a woman has real talent and learning, walks in the world by her own ability, and overshadows the limelight of men, who will come out and accuse you?
A woman who relies on a man can't rely on it for a lifetime after all.
For the rest of his life, he naturally has to hold it firmly in his hands.
Song Jin only dared to think about these words in his heart, if he said them to Mama Tan, maybe these shocking words would scare Mama Tan. made Mama Tan think that the second girl of the Song family was obscured and thought crankily all day long.
"Mama, Jin'er knows, Jin'er must remember it, and she will not be foolish in the future."
"It's just that Jin'er thinks that if a woman has real talent and learning, and has her own ability, she may not have to rely on a man to live her life."
"There are thousands of women in this world, if all of them plan to live on men, won't men die of exhaustion?"
In order to avoid Mama Tan's cranky thoughts, Song Jin still responded to Mama Tan's words before he dared to continue and said what he thought in his heart.
"Second Miss Song has such an idea, which is good and motivated. But men don't like women who are stronger than themselves, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, and IKEA is the most important thing. ”
"If you marry a dominatrix and go home, won't it cause the family to be restless?" Mama Tan said this, and Song Jin had nothing to say.
Song Jin asked Bai He to personally send Mama Tan out of Cuiweiju, and then instructed Fu Hui to go to the embroidery workshop to invite Zeng Xiuniang over, about dyeing and finishing fragrant cloud yarn, she still has some things to tell Zeng Xiuniang.
