810. Persuade Meng Jiangnu to go back
"Since the slave family's father has promised the slave family to the husband, the slave family is the husband's person in life, and the husband's ghost in death." Meng Jiangnu lowered her head and said.
"Why do you keep your head down?" I looked at her, "I want to ask you, do you love him?" You're telling the truth. β
Suddenly, Meng Jiangnu raised her head: "Love, of course love, where is there a wife who doesn't love her husband?" β
"You're lying!" I insisted, "You swear, if you have half a lie, your father will not die well!" β
"I'm ......" Meng Jiangnu's body trembled slightly, biting her lip and not speaking.
The reason why I asked this is also because of the fate of Meng Jiangnu, since she is eating with me now, then I have the obligation to save her.
The real history is like this, she couldn't find her husband, and then committed suicide, which is also the tragedy of the ancient view of marriage.
You must know that in the long feudal society, it has always been important to pay attention to women's chastity, which is well known, to what extent has this attention reached?
If you want me to say, if not a gold medal, then a silver and bronze medal.
The most exemplary sentence is "starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big thing".
Thus it follows that in life and so-called chastity, the balance is inclined towards chastity, and life can be dispensed without.
What a logic of fear, and what a tyrannical value of values, can be judged by inhumanity and anti-humanity.
When we don't care about life, what's the point of having chastity? Of course, this is what I see now, and those physicists in the Song Dynasty did not see it that way.
In their view, a woman's chastity is equivalent to the safety of the country, and a woman's loss is equivalent to the decline of the country, so ah, a woman must guard the three inches below her navel, even if she dies, she has to keep it, think about it, how pitiful, shameful, pathetic, and lamentable.
In the Song Dynasty, to what extent were women suppressed? The famous "three-inch golden lotus" began in the Song Dynasty.
Although the Song Dynasty did not create a chastity belt like the European Middle Ages, however, on a woman's neck, it was hung with a chastity belt, of course, the chastity belt around the neck is not the white hada I wear on my neck when I do the show now, in reality, the chastity belt is invisible, if a woman is lost or feels about to lose her body, what do men advocate women to do?
A white silk hangs himself, or he either throws himself into a deep well, or he cuts his neck, in short, he can live without his life, but he must keep his chastity.
Today's Qin Dynasty and Song Dynasty are similar, of course, not as excessive as those of the Song Dynasty.
The woman in front of me, if I don't change her concept, maybe she will give up her life after knowing the truth......
"I ...... I ......" she hid her face and wept.
I pushed a bowl of porridge soup in front of her and said, "If you don't love it, why do you have to pay for it?" In fact, you can wait at home for two years, and depending on your appearance, you should only be sixteen years old, right? β
"The slave family is fourteen years old." She gritted her teeth and said, tears streaming down her face.
"Fourteen, no wonder."
"General, please don't laugh at the slave family, the slave family does this because they don't want to disappoint the people in the family......"
"I'm not laughing at you, I'm saying that you're blinded by what you're seeing, and I'm going to make a hypothesis, of course it's a hypothesis, what will happen to you if your husband dies?" I asked.
Her body shuddered, and her lips began to tremble.
"Remember, this is hypothetical, it's still safe to build the Great Wall, it should be safe......" I deliberately comforted her.
She hid her face and said, "The slave family will die with him." β
"And you're dead, what about your two fathers? How old are they? I asked again.
Meng Jiangnu's lips trembled: "They are all over fifty years old." β
"In your fifties? That's an old birthday boy. I laughed and said, you know, the average life expectancy in this era is more than 40 years, and 50s is already a long time to live.
After all, medical conditions are always limited in an era.
"Well, the two elders are both martial arts practitioners, so they are in good health." She said.
"But there will always be a time when they will grow old, and they will only have one daughter, if you and your husband are dead, what will you do after the second old? They are fortunate to have worked hard to raise you as an adult, you are good, you went to find a short time, and the second elder died quietly at home, no one to support them to the end, are they very sad, did they raise such a daughter as you for nothing? I squinted my eyes and said.
Meng Jiangnu's body trembled, and she said, "Then, what should the slave family do...... What should the slave family do? β
"Listen to me, since I know your story, we are also fellow countrymen, you can call me brother, I will give you some silver taels, you go back, don't go to the Great Wall, in a few years, you wait for the Great Wall to be repaired, your husband will naturally be sent back......" I said.
"But the slave family at least go and see if he is alive or dead......," Meng Jiangnu said.
I sighed, shook my head and said, "Even if you go over there, they won't let you see him, so let's do it, I just go there for a routine, you go home and wait, and when I go home, I will bring you his letter by the way, what do you say." β
"Yes, yes, my lord is right, even if you pass now, girl, you can't go in to find your husband, wouldn't that be in vain? Wouldn't it be better for you to wait at home for news from my father-in-law, and when you go home, you can take care of the second elder and your husband's parents, and wait for my father-in-law to come back with a letter. Jia Xu laughed.
Meng Jiangnu wiped away her tears and finally smiled: "Thank you, General." β
"Call brother! I won't do your work for nothing, good sister! I said with a smile.
Meng Jiangnu smiled sweetly, it turned out that she was still very good-looking when she smiled, she was very moved and excited: "Thank you, brother, thank you, brother!" β
After I handed her the money, we parted ways, hired a carriage for her, just in time to go to Handan, while we continued north.
"Lord, what the hell is this a lie, what do you say if the lie is worn?" Jia Xu said.
I thought about it for a while: "From now on, let someone send her a letter every year, and when she is older, she will also see the things that she has changed, and this is all a process." β
"Well, that's fine......"
γDing Dong!γ The host completes the event of Meng Jiangnu and is rewarded with 2000 psychic coins, special treasures, and a long-distance horse whip]
[Traveling Whip: Increases the host's riding speed by 25%, which can be equipped on mounts and carriages.] γ
"Oooh!" I was overjoyed, I didn't expect that there was such a good thing, and the departure speed was increased by 25%, which means that we could shorten the time on the road by a quarter, which is a good thing!
Jia Xu heard my voice: "Did the lord see something good?" β
I laughed: "Yes, let's get into the carriage, let's use four horses to pull the carriage, and the speed can be much faster!" β
"Everything is arranged by the lord." He said.
After passing through the town of Plum Blossom and preparing some food and dry food, we continued north.
Along the way, it was found that there were fewer and fewer people, and it seemed that they were already close to the frontier.
The Gobi Desert is not a place for people to stay, there is drought everywhere, and there are wild beasts that hunt for food, this place is also the no-man's land of later generations, if a person who breaks into the no-man's land accidentally finds a group of wild wolves, it is definitely not a surprise, but a disaster.
Unless it's in the car, it's going to be hunted later.
This same place, 2,000 years ago, was a dangerous place, and there were basically no people in sight.
However, I saw a few horse teams that were opened by the Huns, and in this cage, they were all alive, including Huns and Qin.
"Lord, don't be nosy, these are the slaves of the Huns, now the Huns are still a place of slavery, slaves are their property, even if you save these people, in this desert Gobi, they can't survive, we still have to send them to the Meihua Town on the border." Jia Xu reminded.
"This place is obviously still the boundary of the Qin State, why are there them?" I was puzzled.
"After all, the Great Wall is still in the final stage, and the so-called closing stage means that there are still hundreds of kilometers of places that have not been fenced, and it is not surprising that the Huns appeared." Jia Xu said.
