246. A trip to Jiangnan
Chapter 244: A Trip to Jiangnan
In the early morning, the sun has just shown its face, but the hard-working people have already gotten up early, rushed to the market, and did business. I didn't expect that this ordinary Jiangnan town could be so prosperous and lively.
"Qiyun, I'm going to the weaving yamen, it's going to be a few days, you wait for me to ......"
Before Brother Seventeen could finish speaking, I waved my hand to show that I didn't want to know what he was going to doโsince I had decided to come out and run away from all this, I didn't want to worry about these things anymore. Just be a happy little woman in ancient times, waiting for her husband to return every day, and live in a quiet little world.
"Don't tell me, I'll wait for you to come back."
After sending off Seventeen, I went out with Dong'er, bought vegetables, and came back to be busy with meals together - ordinary days, but I lived extremely comfortably. Because there is no faction difference between us, Dong'er and I don't have to act across the belly every day.
"Look, that's the lady of the Jin family, it's different from the capital, look at how beautiful people are dressed!"
"Yes, even the maid is beautiful!"
There are always sighs of admiration in my ears, and the praise is not in the city, but it is all from the heart - away from those disputes in the capital, I realized that the world is so beautiful, and life can be so comfortable!
"That, lady of the Jin family, are you literate?" This is a shy girl, looking at my dress with a little envy, blinking her big eyes, and asking very embarrassed.
"Yes, what's wrong?" I try to be as amiable as possible and fit well into this kind of life. "Is there anything I can help me with?"
"Can you teach me?" The eldest girl is even more shy, it turns out that everyone says that girls in Jiangnan are thin-skinned, I still don't believe it, but now I really believe it.
"Okay, if only you came to my house often in the future." I'm worrying right now, and it's great to have her as my companion.
"The lady of the Jin family, don't waste your efforts with her, this girl has a big heart, and she fell in love with a kid who went to Beijing to take the exam, but who knew that the kid would never come back." As soon as I finished speaking, the aunt who sold my tofu here hurriedly said: "Don't waste your efforts with her, it's better to marry early, and delay your youth in vain!" โ
It turned out to be another Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian!
"No, Brother Wang, Brother Wang promised to come back and marry me!" The eldest girl has always been shy, but this is the only thing, and she is very persistent.
"It's okay, it's good to read more books and read and understand the truth, I'll teach you when you come." By the way, enlighten and enlighten you, there is more than one truth about Wei women in this world.
"Then I'm going to learn too!" Who knew that as soon as I finished answering, my aunt's son also ran over: "Daddy thinks the private school is too expensive and won't let me study, Jin Niangniang, can you teach me too?" โ
"Okay!" It seems that I don't have to think about opening a shop or anything like that, just open a private school.
It's just that my alternative teaching method, will it teach bad children?
In this way, by the time I started the class the next day, I actually received six students, except for Aunt Tofu's son Doupi, the others were girls who were not qualified to studyโin that era, advocating that women were not talented and virtuous, so that other folk girls except Miss Dahu could not study. I don't know if my appearance is fortunate or unfortunate for these girls?
"Mr. Woman, what are you going to tell me today, is it the Analects?" Except for Xiao Ye, the eldest girl who is waiting for her husband, this second girl is the biggest among the other girls - it's a pity that her parents are illiterate, and she doesn't even have a name: "I used to eavesdrop on a little bit every time I went to make soy sauce, is this what I said?" โ
"Call me teacher, we don't talk about this." I smiled, having been a student for many years, I didn't expect that I could also open a class one day: "Today, on the first day, let's take it easy and listen to me a story. โ
"Once upon a time, well, I don't remember what era it was, there was a general, and he had a concubine who could fight side by side with him who was both civil and military......"
This is the most shocking story I have ever read when I was a child, when I was very young, but for the first time I had the sorrow of being a woman!
"And then? They fought the world together, and finally lived happily together? Xiao Ye blinked and asked excitedly?
"Well, it was like that at first, but then it couldn't. They were besieged in an abandoned city, they ran out of ammunition and food, and even their horses were eaten, and the city was about to be destroyed......"
"Did they fight together to the end, and then die together?" There was envy in Erya's eyes - after all, in that era, women could make contributions, even if they died, they were happy.
"Nope." I shook my head, and my tone became heavy: "On the day of the decisive battle, the general ordered someone to set up a cauldron and pushed his beloved concubine into the pot......"
Seeing the children's eyes, I wonder if what I am talking about now is too cruel for them, but this is the reality, the girls here will be married in two years, and they will also have to face the reality of this era: "Later, they really survived until the reinforcements arrived, and they were all saved, except for the concubine who was eaten." Later, this general was actually named the prince of the country because of his selflessness. โ
"Huh?" The leaf's eyes were full of disbelief.
The concubine followed the general all her life, fought horses all her life, experienced hundreds of battles of all sizes, and died nine times, but she didn't expect to be buried here today...... The concubine has nothing else to wish, but begs not to be a human being again in the next life......
I remember that I cried for a long time for this story - I hope that I will not be a person again in the next life, the woman who is so strong that she doesn't even want to be a human being, why can't she still wake up, and still don't know how to resist? Become a tool for a man to achieve fame and dominance?
"All of you here, except for Doupi, are all girls, can you tell me, if you were this woman, what would you do?"
What would I do if I were her? In such a desperate situation?
I have asked myself this question countless times in midnight dreams, but I have woken up from this nightmare countless times - imposing national hatred, family hatred, victory and defeat on a woman, forcing her to sacrifice for the country, what should I do at that time?
"I-I," Leaf's eyes watered, "I won't let that beast go if I turn into a ghost!" โ
Well, although superstition is useless, you can say the word beast, and you can still be saved.
"What about you?" The eldest girl only has Erya and Yezi, so I asked Erya: "What will you do?" โ
"I-I, I don't know, I want to ask him, do you have me in his heart?"
Another weak man......
"If I were that general, I would never do this, a good man should die on the battlefield, how can he bully a woman for nothing!" But it was the bean skin who spoke.
"The bean skin is good, and I will definitely find a good daughter-in-law in the future." I patted the bean skin's head as a sign of encouragement.
"Teacher, what would you do if it were you?" Ye Zi asked curiously.
I'm not stupid enough to fight with a man who isn't on my own, okay? "If it were me, I'd jump with that man in my arms!"
Life should be happy, and death should be without regrets - we must sacrifice for the country, and we will sacrifice together. I won't let you use me to make you successful, and I won't be a fool to make you sacrifice!
"However, maybe the general is reluctant in his heart, in fact, he is very sad, but he has to ......."
"As a last resort, so sacrificing you, do you still have to be grateful for his crocodile tears?"
"What do you call crocodile tears?" The youngest girl asked.
"It's the crocodile that eats you and leaves you with tears of sadness, do you want it?"
"Don't!"
Very good, the first lesson, don't see yourself as a woman, women should be self-reliant.
"Alright, change to a fun one." I winked mischievously, poor children, who must have become as bad as I did: "If you accidentally kill your neighbor's horse, and your neighbor will sue you in the yamen, how can you get your neighbor's forgiveness?" โ
"Well, bring a gift and apologize and explain that we didn't mean to do this!" The leaf replied.
"Uh-huh!" The others nodded as well.
"I said, I love horses, what if the neighbors don't agree and have to sue you?" It's so simple, what else do I have to teach you to do?
"Huh?" The six students were distressed.
"Or maybe he wants to take this opportunity to cheat you?"
His face was wrinkled into bitter melon......
"So what?" The little ones asked curiously.
"It's very simple, take your knife to kill the horse, and go to the neighbor with confidence, and tell him that you helped kill his horse!"
"Ahh
The mouth grew into six "O" shapes, and everyone was horrified by my explanation.
"Ah what? As long as the knife is still in your hands, it is up to you! โ
Haha, it turns out that the image of the beautiful and gentle lady of the Jin family in their hearts is completely ruined......
Now my endorsement is the witch of the Jin family, the kind that specializes in teaching bad children!
