Chapter 136: The Storm in the Palace (4)
The lights are on, and the night is not shining.
The fine snow in the sky was like the crumbs of white jade crumbled by the heavenly immortals after they were drunk, and with a wave of their wide sleeves, they were thrown into the world.
On the road of the bluestone palace, Lin Wanwan and Yunchun held an umbrella, stepping on the ground full of broken jade, smiling and smiling, the palace lamp in their hands passed through the glass lampshade, exuding a warm halo, and the light gauze-like mist was around and fluttering leisurely.
In just a moment, Lin Wanwan taught Yunchun a poem.
Yun Chun carefully recalled the artistic conception in the poem, his eyes were clear, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that there is such great wisdom hidden in this poem. ”
After that, he didn't forget to show a grateful smile to Lin Wanwan and praised: "The girl taught really well." ”
Lin Wanwan hooked her lips and chuckled, and sighed faintly: "I just talked about it once, and you understood the deep meaning, not that I teach well, but that you are quite talented in poetry." ”
Being praised by her like this, Yun Chun's face couldn't help but fly a flush, and she said shyly: "Aunt, girl, don't make fun of Yun Chun." ”
"I'm not joking with you, I'm just telling the truth." Lin Wanwan looked at her with a smile for a moment, and said sincerely, "I didn't expect you to have such a talent, if you can cultivate well, you will definitely become a famous female talent in the future, and you will not know what will go down in history." ”
Lin Wanwan's serious expression made Yun Chun's heart stunned, and the bottom of her eyes flashed with a clear light like a broken star, which was extremely clear in the night, but soon, it dimmed again.
"Yun Chun is just a palace maid with a humble status, and she can recognize very few words, so how can she be qualified to recite poetry, let alone become a talented woman."
As soon as you enter the palace gate, the harem has always been treacherous, and the conspiracy and calculations are endless, and those nobles often use these lowly palace maids to be a shield for power and profit. If you are lucky, you may be able to get the favor of the emperor and be promoted to a concubine, but most people can only spend their lives in this deep palace.
A hint of loneliness flashed from Yun Chun's eyes, and then only numbness and compromise of fate remained.
Lin Wanwan took in her expression, and there was a trace of compassion in her heart, and she exhorted: "Don't feel sorry for yourself because of your weak strength, don't be cheap and self-despise, you should know your fate and be reformed every day." ”
When Yun Chun heard this, he smiled at Lin Wanwan, but this smile seemed a bit far-fetched, and he didn't know what he remembered, and his eyes were gradually covered with a layer of mist, and he looked trance.
"The slave has liked poetry since childhood, and he has learned some words, but after his father and mother knew, he gave the book that the slave and the maid had finally found to his younger brother, and did not let the slave and the maid continue to study the text, they said that women are not talented and virtuous, and women who are literate will only make the village laugh, like the slave and the maid, who are from a low background, should do things in a down-to-earth manner, and teach their husbands and children in the future, and should not think about those unrealistic things. Later, the harvest in the field was not good, and the taxes were heavy, in order to support the two younger brothers, the father and mother wanted to sell the slave and maid to a large family as a concubine, but the family bought another girl in the village, and the father and mother had to sell the slave and maid to the palace. ”
Yun Chun slowly told about her experience, this was a past she buried deep in her heart, and she never mentioned it to anyone, but at this moment, she couldn't say why, but she wanted to tell the fairy girl next to her.
"After entering the palace, I thought that without the hindrance of my parents, I could continue to study and study, but later I learned that in the palace, survival is far more important than learning literature, and the status of slaves and maids is humble, and there is no way to buy books without money, so I have never thought about it."
After listening to Yunchun's experience, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but be a little moved, and the gaze cast at her was a little more pity, and her heart was a little more firm.
Most people in this world are patriarchal, and it's not that they haven't heard of things like exchanging their daughters for money, but she has never been able to understand why these people are so favoritism, isn't their daughter their biological flesh and blood?
There was a deep sadness in her breast, and she felt even more resentful of the shackles imposed on women by this world.
This kind of thing not only happened to Yunchun alone, not only in the stormy Nanling, in this world, if a woman wants to live out her own piece of the world, the road is long and difficult.
Her expression changed slightly, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and a cold light that could almost pierce the night quietly crossed her eyes.
"Who said that women can't learn literature, and they only deserve to make women popular? Who said that women can only be locked in the boudoir, waiting for their husbands and children in the future? In this world, talented and capable women abound, and their talents are not inferior to men. ”
Yun Chun heard a woman dare to say such a thing for the first time, her eyes were full of shock, and her heart seemed to set off a stormy wave.
Since childhood, he has been accustomed to the admonition of three obedience and four virtues, silently accepted all kinds of unfair treatment, learned to compromise with fate, and was also accustomed to being obedient.
She looked at the woman in front of her in a daze, who exuded an awe-inspiring face, still with that stunning face, but the aura on her body was different from Fang Cai, the kind of grace and nobility that naturally flowed out, as if with a natural magic, made her reverent. Especially those eyes, as bright and dazzling as glass, but as clear and deep as water, as if they could shine into people's hearts and constantly attract her.
Those things that were suppressed in Yun Chun's heart seemed to have gained a force invisibly, and they were breaking through the ground little by little.
"The slave also hopes that one day, women will no longer have to live in the shadow of men, and can have a world of their own."
"With one lamp, all the lights will be bright, and there will come a time when women can be compared with men."
Lin Wanwan's eyes looked firmly ahead, the snow light and the light intersected in her eyes, and the brilliance flowed, like a spark of stars, even if it seemed very weak in this vast snowy night, it was enough to light up this field.
Yun Chun's eyebrows and eyes widened, and his expression brightened.
The two walked for a while, and the two fathers-in-law staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, Lin Wanwan seemed to remember something, and asked curiously: "When I entered the palace, I saw a father-in-law pulling a cart of things from outside the palace into the palace, is that the father-in-law of the imperial dining room?" ”
Yun Chun thought for a while, and explained for her: "The girl should see Gonggong Lu of the Purchasing Division, if the concubines in the palace need to buy some things, they will notify the purchasing department and let them go out of the palace to procure and come back, and the purchasing department has always been responsible for the procurement of Gonggong Lu out of the palace." ”
Lin Wanwan nodded thoughtfully, "I see, I thought it was the ingredients that the father-in-law of the imperial dining room bought from outside the palace." ”
Yun Chun shook his head and said: "Unless there is a special order, the supply of ingredients is connected by the people of the purchasing department, and the vendors who supply the ingredients can transport the materials to the imperial dining room." ”
Seeing that she was curious, Yun Chun pointed to a palace gate in front of her, and then said: "After this door, after a verandah, there is the imperial dining room, and a few more roads from the imperial dining room is the purchasing division." ”
Lin Wanwan glanced at where she was pointing, then withdrew her gaze and said with a smile: "I just asked casually, but you introduced it carefully." ”
Yun Chun's lips flashed with a pear vortex, and said: "This palace is too big, and the girl is entering the palace for the first time, so the slave maid naturally wants to lead the way for the girl." ”
"I know you have a heart, but it's getting dark this day, so let's hurry up and go to the Imperial Garden."
Lin Wanwan said, and the two couldn't help but speed up their pace.
