Chapter 112 Blind Eyes
After Biyue left, Feng Shu led Qinghong into the room.
After sitting on the cold bench in the West Chamber for a while, Qinghong's mood calmed down a lot.
She didn't know much about this eldest grandson before.
It's just that when dealing with the affairs in Li Yuanji's courtyard, she has seen Guanyin's style of doing things with her own eyes.
In addition, during this period of time, there were rumors in the inner courtyard that Guanyin was very strict, and no matter how big or small, she couldn't hide it from her eyes.
Before Qinghong saw Guanyin, her heart was a little weak, and her strong temperament was also a lot softer.
------
Entering the house, Qinghong saluted Guanyin in a regular manner, and greeted Guanyin in a gentle voice.
When Guanyin saw Qinghong coming in, she didn't look like she was going to teach people a lesson, and she kept looking at Qinghong with a smile on her face.
The more this is the case, the more Qinghong dare not look directly into Guanyin's eyes.
According to Guanyin's instructions, Qinghong sat down carefully.
She lowered her head and sat there stiffly, waiting for Guanyin to ask.
------
Guanyin didn't ask Qinghong about the anger of choosing a concubine and Concubine Chen.
She looked at Qinghong with a smile and asked something about Zheng Guanyin.
"You all call Zheng Niangzi Qi Niang, does she have many sisters?"
Qinghong replied truthfully, "There are seventeen brothers and sisters of Qi Niang, and five of them are born."
"Qi Niang has two brothers on top and one brother and sister below."
Guanyin sighed with a smile,
"The head of your family has a large population."
------
Qinghong then introduced the situation of Zheng Guanyin's mother's family,
"The lord of our family had seven concubines, and five of them gave birth to children."
Guanyin deliberately asked Qinghong,
"You said that your lord used to have seven concubines, so how many rooms do you have now?"
Qinghong thought for a moment, "There are still three rooms left."
The focus of Guanyin's questioning was the situation of the other four rooms,
"What about the four rooms?"
Qinghong replied, "The four rooms are no longer there."
Guanyin then asked, "Why aren't they all there?"
Qinghong looked at Guanyin, was silent for a while, and replied:
"I'm too young to know the specifics."
In fact, how each concubine of the Zheng family died, Qinghong knew very well in her heart.
She suddenly thought that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so she didn't know for some reason and didn't tell Guanyin.
------
Guanyin was also raised in the deep house, how could she not know that the family of the family was tired of taking concubines?
They were the eldest grandson general's mansion, and the eldest grandson Sheng accepted two concubines when he was young.
The Yuan Pei Gan clan couldn't tolerate the two of them, and finally forced the eldest grandson Wunai and the eldest grandson Wuyi's A-Niang to death.
Since then, Changsun Sheng knew that his wife and concubine were difficult to get along with, so he never took a concubine again.
After the death of the Qi Gan clan, the eldest grandson Sheng only married Gao Qiuniang.
------
Guanyin knew that the status of the concubine in the family was not much higher than that of the slave.
In most cases, concubines instead become enemies of their wives.
On the contrary, the wife will be closer to the slave and maid who is close to her.
Under normal circumstances, a wife never has a good face for a concubine.
In order to establish her authority, the wife will use various means to suppress the concubine, and try her best to make it difficult for the concubine.
------
If the concubine is not favored, it will be better, once she is favored by Langjun, the wife often puts her to death and then fast.
Don't complain about your wife's cruelty, this is human nature.
Human nature is greedy, who wants to let another woman compete with him and be jealous?
The law of the imperial court stipulates that the family property must be divided equally between sons and daughters.
Who wants another woman to give birth to a child and take away the family property that should belong to the sister-in-law?
------
Guanyin only asked about the situation of the Zheng family's concubines, just to let Qinghong understand whether it is good to be a concubine.
It is better to let her experience and weigh the pros and cons of each life choice by herself.
After asking about the situation of the Zheng family, Guanyin looked at Qinghong,
"Tell me about yourself what is the benefit of being a concubine?"
Qinghong was silent, she thought in her heart, should she take the road of concubine?
------
After this conversation, Qinghong also began to admire Guanyin's wisdom.
She didn't say a word of reprimand or persuasion.
undid the knot in Qinghong's heart.
Qinghong had been looking forward to being able to become Li Jiancheng's concubine.
Before meeting Guanyin, she was still thinking in her heart that she had to be more forbearant and find a way to please Zheng Guanyin, and she would have the opportunity to become Li Jiancheng's concubine in the future and be able to be a master.
She also swore in her heart that one day she would compete with Ji Xue and trample the eventful Chen Yu on the soles of her feet.
Now she's had a complete epiphany.
Qinghong realizes that being a concubine is not her best choice in this life.
The obsession in my heart has been removed, but I have lost the goal of life.
Qinghong was confused again, she didn't know how to go in the future.
-------
Guanyin saw Qinghong sitting silently without speaking, and knew that she had already felt something in her heart.
She asked Qinghong in a kind tone, "Do you want me to talk to you more?"
Qinghong looked at Guanyin with gratitude, "The eldest grandson is really a great wisdom, and she woke up the slave maid from her dream with just a few words."
"Now I no longer have the idea of being a concubine, and I hope that the eldest grandson will guide the slave and maid, how to go in the future."
As he spoke, he stood up, crossed his hands and knees and bowed to Guanyin to show his gratitude.
------
Guanyin smiled on her face, motioned for Qinghong to sit down, and asked softly:
"Do you want to live for yourself, or do you want to live for someone else?"
Qinghong was puzzled, "Please advise the eldest grandson, what does it mean to live for others? What does it mean to live for yourself?"
Guanyin's face became solemn and she removed the smile from her face.
She said in a low voice, but forcefully:
"There are a thousand disadvantages of being a concubine, but there is one benefit."
Qinghong asked Guanyin in confusion, "What's the benefit?"
Guanyin said solemnly, "That is, the children and grandchildren will no longer be slaves and servants."
"If you want to live for the sake of future generations, being a concubine is basically the only option."
------
Guanyin's words made Qinghong's heart pound again, and her heart as a concubine was ready to move.
What mother doesn't want her children to have a good future?
But Guanyin's next words made Qinghong die of her heart that was just beginning to move.
Guanyin said quietly: "Let's not talk about whether being a concubine can live to give birth to a child."
"Even if you have a child, you are not the mother of the child."
Qinghong thinks about it, and her mother-in-law is the mother of these children.
------
Guanyin first said that those children who came out of the house,
"The vast majority of children born out of concubines, when they grow up, will find a way to please their mother-in-law."
"In order to prevent others from laughing at me, I will deliberately dilute my relationship with my biological mother."
"If you give birth to a person with a conscience, you may still think about your biological mother."
"If you give birth to a person who has no conscience, you will regard your birth mother as a slave who does not want to do anything with you."
She went on to talk about the fate of concubines under normal circumstances,
"Some concubines want to win the favor of their masters, but they are not allowed by their wives, and they want to climb the high branches, but they lose their lives early."
"Those who are not favored can only live in seclusion, trampled under the feet of slaves and servants, and become a laughing stock after tea and dinner."
Speaking of which, Guanyin asked Qinghong,
"You grew up in the Zheng family, think about it, what I said is the truth?"
Qinghong was used to seeing the fight between the wives and concubines of the Zheng family, so she couldn't help but nod her head again and again,
"Indeed, as the eldest grandson said, those living concubines are really not as good as dead and pure-hearted."
------
Guanyin slowed down and continued:
"I'll tell you again what it means to live for yourself."
Qinghong looked at Guanyin quietly, she now felt that Guanyin was so amiable and respectable.
At this time, she was no longer the timidity and crampedness she had at the beginning, but full of piety.
It seems that he is waiting for the division commander to answer his questions.
As for what Guanyin will say next, Qinghong is full of expectations and listens.
------
Guanyin saw that Qinghong listened carefully, and spoke more kindly.
"As the personal servants of the lady in charge, you are all her close people."
"Growing up with her since childhood, it must be a deep love for master and servant."
"If you don't become a concubine, when you reach the age of marriage, your own lady will definitely choose a good man for you."
"Although he is still a house slave, he is different from ordinary house slaves in the house."
"With the support of the lady in charge, no one dares to despise you. Don't you say?"
Qinghong nodded, "Take me as an example, who to choose as a man, Qi Niang will definitely ask for my opinion."
"If I don't like it, she won't force it on me."
Guanyin smiled, "Is that so? You can decide who you choose to be a man."
Qinghong smiled and nodded.
------
Guanyin then analyzed Qinghong, "Let's talk about getting married."
"When you come to the man's house, you have the support of the lady in charge or the housewife, and your man will not dare to underestimate you, and he will ask for your consent for big and small things."
"When you get older, your lady will definitely become the head of the house."
"If you don't be a maidservant, she will definitely arrange a good errand for you, and she will be the master's most trusted servant in the house."
"When you are old, you must be full of children and grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren in the family will still count on you to protect the yin, who will not treat you as an ancestor and worry about not being able to enjoy the family?"
Qinghong listened to the beautiful scenery of future family life described by Guanyin, and she was a little intoxicated.
She thought of the scene of her gray hair and teasing her grandson, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
------
After depicting the beautiful scenery of future life, Guanyin let her experience her status in the house in the future.
"As the one on whom you rely as a mistress, she must entrust you with the most important duties."
"I'll ask for your opinion when I'm in trouble, and I'll let you help her make up her mind when she has a problem."
"Slaves and servants in the house, which one of them lives without looking at your eyes?"
"Although you are not the master, but look at the respect that the people in the house have for you, how different does that feeling from the master?"
"Look at Feng Yu, you may be like her in the future."
"As long as the things explained by the mistress are done, why worry about having no status in the house?"
------
Guanyin instructed Qinghong, "Your family's seven mothers are so good, as long as you treat her sincerely, she will not treat you badly in the future."
After Guanyin said this, Qinghong couldn't help but be full of ambition.
She now has a sense of pride and ambition to be a good slave.
Looking forward to the bright prospect of being a good slave, Qinghong's eyes became brighter.
She regained hope for her future and rekindled her motivation to serve Zheng Guanyin.
Qinghong said gratefully to Guanyin,
"The enlightenment of the eldest grandson made the slave's heart suddenly brighten."
"According to what the eldest grandson said, the slave maid should also thank Concubine Chen, it was her suggestion that saved the slave and maid from becoming a concubine."
"I won't bother with her again."
------
Guanyin sighed, "Life is like a mess of flowers and charming eyes, how many people are not fascinated by the illusion in front of them?"
"Sometimes the most alluring part of the road ahead is a pit, but few people see through it."
