Chapter 407: Crossing is not omnipotent
All in all, the hard work has indeed paid off.
Xie Ying even learned about the ambiguous friendship between her grandfather and the queen mother from her cousin, and she understood her grandmother's anger and estrangement, jealousy, and women's common diseases, sometimes it is normal to be unclear, not to mention the iron law of the difference between grandmothers and concubines, and grandmothers are more scientific if they are unwilling.
"Our Xie family, all rely on uncles and grandfathers, and the queen mother when childhood friendship is not mentioned, at the beginning of the first emperor's accession to the throne, Pei Zheng and the two clans had different intentions, to confuse the first emperor disrespectful to the queen mother, thanks to the great help of the uncle, in order to eradicate the two clans to set things right, Xie has since become a prominent person in Kyoto, now the queen mother is in the dynasty, more and more important to the uncle, the fifth sister, not for the brother disrespectful to the elder, it is really because the uncle and grandmother are too narrow-minded, the queen mother how much to the fifth sister, but the fifth sister listened to the uncle and grandmother's words, live up to the queen mother's love, in the past should not be."
With this cousin in the next room telling the history of the family, Xie Ying certainly understands what should be done in the future, and completely understands that she should firmly hold the thighs of the Queen Mother, so that she can truly reach the peak of power in the future, and will never be subject to any restrictions again, and live more comfortably in this "bad" social environment without air conditioning and Haagen-Dazs.
After winning the first battle, Xie Ying's ambitions increased, but the next thing was not so scientific.
According to Xie Ying's careful observation, this dynasty that does not exist in history does not seem to be like the description in the novel, not only are the women not out of the door, but they must marry if they are touched by a man, and their openness is simply unheard of - let's just say that the cousin who robbed the people's daughter, in fact, he has already married a wife, but because of his lust, he has stayed in a brothel for a long time, and he is a gentleman, and it is in feudal society, and it is common in novels that it is not worth making a fuss about, but his wife is not a mortal, and she will not be jealous at all, not because she is virtuous, The cousin aunt actually raised a little white face, or raised in her husband's house openly, often hooked shoulders and didn't care about everyone's side eyes, and the elders in the family also seemed to be collectively blind, ignoring and not interfering at all, and even a cousin went home coldly, just when the little white face was disheveled from the aunt's bedroom, but the hippie smile hugged his fist, and apologized in front of many maidservants: "Ouch, it's me who didn't come back well." ”
Xie Ying was shocked to learn about this from the maidservant, and actually broke the principle of not "asking for advice" from the servant and maid, and was quite skillful and tentative: "Auntie is too ignorant. ”
The maid was so frightened that she knelt on her knees: "The little lady must not say anything, if this kind of thing is preached, Lang Jun will be ridiculed a lot, and the maid is blamed for being too talkative, and the little lady must be considerate." ”
How can a man be ridiculed? Isn't it true that the woman was the first to be immersed in the pig cage, and she couldn't even marry her nieces and nieces in disgrace?
Xie Ying was surprised, and even thought that her aunt had a great background, and she couldn't be a princess or something.
I didn't know that when I asked my cousin about it euphemistically, I learned that this aunt's father was just a six-rank general, or the kind that didn't lead soldiers.
Isn't the Xie family in power, and the daughter of a military general dares to openly disobey women's morals, which is too unscientific!
After some explanation by her cousin, Xie Ying finally understood that things such as the aunt's raising of a little white face are no longer news in the aristocratic family of this era, as long as the family ugliness is not publicized, and the husband does not care about it for the harmony in the backyard, the rest of the people are open and closed, and whoever meddles will be considered ignorant of the rules, even if the aunt's mother-in-law can't stand it and threatens to retire the book, of course, this is also a matter of etiquette, but it will be disgraced by strong public opinion, as long as the aunt's family does not think so, the aunt takes the letter of resignation and goes home, is also pampered and can even remarry, but the mother-in-law will be condemned privately by the noblewomen - their own sons are romantic, the smell is not taboo, the daughter-in-law is virtuous, never jealous, and the husband and wife are harmonious and respectful of each other, is it not enough? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to have to make a lot of noise in the city, like those shrews in the market? ”
In the end, it may be that it is difficult for the cousin to marry the lady of the prestigious family, but the cousin will win the support of public opinion.
Even in the 21st century, women with red apricots will be condemned, right? Isn't public opinion always biased in favor of men? Long live true love, or a "truth" that doesn't slap in the face, isn't it a sympathetic defense for men?
Not scientific, too unscientific!
But as a woman, Xie Ying, even though she feels unbelievable about the unspoken rule of Da Zhou, she will not resist and complain, and even be even more fortunate - hmph, this is destined for my sister to show her strength!
According to her, although there are many "fierce women" nowadays, the status of women is not as low as she expected at first, but women with a little status, such as the grandmother and mother of "themselves", may be too reserved, still boring, and don't they all write like that in novels, because of the "advantages of the times", they can often show their good work without waste, and there are always those princes and nobles who are tired of the same vulgar powder, often full of power and talent, and when they see "extraordinary", they "shine in the eyes", and they will work together from then on" Kill all sides" to create a happy life.
In this regard, the more open the social atmosphere, the more promising it may be.
Since she has a "grand plan" in her heart, Xie Ying immediately acted.
She has gathered thousands of favorites in the family, and the drama of the house fight can be saved, so let's directly save the thighs of the top "stepping feet" Queen Mother!
However, Xie Ying didn't think much of Eleven Niang at first, but was confident that she could return to heaven and compete for favor by herself, which is also based on the principles of many novels.
It's easy to look forward to the end of the national mourning, and finally have the opportunity to "become famous in Kyoto".
In Xie Ying's view, although the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are rare, giving women the right to go out of the wall without being condemned by public opinion, but after all, women at this time are far less coquettish than the post-90s in the future, such as "themselves" Many relatives, still can't rebel against their parents' orders, she doesn't want to be like her aunt, marrying a gentleman, but she must also tolerate her husband's three wives and four concubines, and in desperation, she adopts the strategy of raising a little white face to talk about self-comfort, Xie Ying's pursuit is marital autonomy to do whatever she wants, It is best that her husband will treat her for the rest of her life, but she can hug her left and right, and often compose a rhyme story with a romantic talent.
There must be prerequisites for this - first of all, the husband must not be a pedantic person, who keeps talking about etiquette and restraint, thinking that he is single-minded, and his wife must be virtuous and virtuous. And often this kind of unruly secular man has extraordinary insight and great power, so the current family is not considered, this kind of is just the second generation of rich officials, and like the ex-boyfriend, they are all the echoes of their parents; Secondly, the husband must be young and strong and dashing, and the old man and the ugly and the like are all prey to fishing women, like himself, everyone is beautiful, but he can't only focus on wealth and wealth, unless the other party is the emperor, but obviously the current situation has ruled out this possibility.
According to Xie Ying's experience learned from many novels, it is not smooth sailing to be born alone, especially in feudal society, often the life of parents is not satisfactory.
Besides, she was also quite distrustful of the knowledge of her grandmother and mother.
Often, everyone is beautiful, and they can't lack a unique talent, which is enough to attract the attention of the real man.
Although she has realized that "herself" can be good at poetry, Xie Ying does not think so, because under the forcible teaching of her grandfather, she can still recite a lot of ancient poems compared to how many "gentlemen", especially Tang and Song poems, which can be borrowed and plagiarized.
I really didn't expect that my first appearance after the national funeral would encounter many unscientific setbacks!
First of all, the foolproof titles of "Miss" and "Adult" in film and television dramas almost made Xie Ying a legendary laughing stock of "devastating and decaying", is this scientific?
At home, she was not full of sorrow when she heard that the maid was called "Little Lady", and she always felt weird, but she only thought that the maid had no culture, and the nobles in film and television dramas were not all called "Miss"? Isn't it like in later generations, this title is for special professions, and she can't always call the other party "lady"?
Not to mention "adult", how could Xie Ying have expected that this was a special title for her parents? In film and television dramas, "adults" are foolproof!
and Du Fu's poem of Spring Night Rain, the Tang Dynasty does not exist, how can the world know this poem?
Xie Ying, who was speechless, asked her cousin again and tried it with "bright moonlight in front of the bed", but her cousin clearly didn't know that it was written by Li Bai, but Du Fu rarely appeared in this time and space, but poems such as "Zhumen wine and meat stink" were not written by Du Fu...... Xie Ying suddenly fell into endless confusion.
In fact, if Eleven Niang is a returnee, at this time, she can probably solve Xie Ying's confusion-
The original history, after the two Jin Dynasty, because of a person is very different, but although the emperor dynasty has changed, a few people who have nothing to do with the political situation are still "continued", before Du Fu, Gongsun Auntie is an example, and Du Fu, because he did not meet the original trajectory of Li Linfu, the nemesis and Tang Xuanzong, the faint master, did not experience the Anshi Rebellion The country from prosperity to decline process, in the rule of the Great Zhou, just met Mingjun, so it was smooth sailing and not displaced, "Zhumen wine and meat stink" of course did not write by him, but because of talent did not change, also served in Shu County as originally planned, so he still maintained the poem of spring night rain.
But Xie Ying, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, obviously can't understand this, but because of the setbacks, she is more cautious, so next, she encountered a lot of unscientific ......
