Chapter 83, IKEA IKEA IKEA Beautiful Boy
Although he also feels that it is shameful to exploit and enslave others, in this era of very low productivity, Qingling still feels that he still can't bear to do everything himself.
For example, when she usually wants to take a bath, Uncle Futian or Uncle Aji first draws water from the well and brings it to the kitchen, and then Aunt Osmanthus or Aunt Wang boils the water, scoops it into a bucket and carries it into her room.
It has to be poured into the bulky wooden bathtub, and it has to be washed under the care of Shiyun and Sister Qingcao.
It is a basin of water from head to toe, and the water is heated halfway, and after washing, a bucket of clean hot water is prepared, and a water scoop is poured over the hair and body to rinse.
After washing, scoop the water into a basin or bucket and pour it out.
Finally, prepare a wad of absorbent cloth towels, dry your hair little by little, and then dry it slowly, and sit next to the charcoal basin to dry it slowly in winter to prevent colds.
By the time it was completely cleaned up, it took almost two hours or more, still under the condition that someone was serving and taking care of it.
What was supposed to be a simple thing has become a complex project that can hardly be done alone.
Not to mention that all the clothes had to be cut and sewn by stitch, including the shoes.
If you are a farmer or a poorer person, you have to spin cotton into thread and weave it into cloth yourself.
Not to mention the laundry, you have to fetch water from the well first, and it is very troublesome to dry.
Although there are a lot of ingredients and vegetables, there are no out-of-season vegetables and greenhouse vegetables, and the hot spring Zhuangzi only has a little more vegetables.
There is no cold chain fresh, and you can basically only eat local, seasonal and dried vegetables.
So it's not that you can buy what you want to eat, but you can do whatever you want.
There are no modern stoves, no refrigerators, no running water, and no semi-finished products, and the cooking process is very smoky and trivial.
Not to mention carrying water and chopping wood, the porridge they drink every morning has to be boiled for a long time.
It is necessary to worry about the paste pot and worry that the boiling is not soft and sticky enough, and the heat must be mastered just right.
The heat of the wood stove is the most difficult to master, and it all depends on experience and feeling.
Eating steamed buns and cakes to make noodles, there is no good yeast powder, all of them are made in a primitive way, leaving the old noodles to make noodles by hand.
Not to mention, the dough is very slow, the dough is sour if the fermentation is overdone, the fermentation time and degree are not enough, and the dough is stiff and not noisy and soft.
If you want to eat steamed buns the next morning, Grandma is old, and Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Wang get up in the middle of the night to make noodles, and they have to check from time to time.
In the modern world, perhaps her grandparents and parents have experienced this, and their generation will definitely have a hard time to bear.
It's okay to show off your cooking skills once in a while, but you can't stand it for a long time, unless you are forced to be helpless in order to survive.
When you marry into an ordinary family, you have to do everything yourself, and a large family eats and drinks Lazar, and you may be busy like a spinning top from morning to night, and you have to make it unkempt, and even stay up late to work.
If you marry into a wealthy family, you may not have any pressure to survive, and you don't need to work yourself, but you have to face all kinds of complex interpersonal relationships.
I have to give birth to children all the time, anyway, there are not too many sons, and I am basically sure that the future husband will have three wives and four concubines, and he will face all kinds of bloodless house fights.
Then she can't stand it even more, since this is the case, it is better not to marry, anyway, she will definitely not lack silver in the future, and Xiao Zhe (including his future children) will have a bottom line.
Knowing his granddaughter's true thoughts, Youchen couldn't cry or laugh again, her granddaughter is so smart and transparent, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?
To be born as a human being is to come to suffer, and men and women have their own sufferings.
Ling'er is still young, and she doesn't know that marrying someone has the pain of marrying, and if you don't marry, you also have the pain of not marrying, and I don't know which one is more bitter.
Xiao Jun, who had been pretending to be air, couldn't help but speak: "I think what Sister Ling'er said is very right, I agree very much!"
I really don't know what men in the world are making all kinds of excuses for taking concubines? No amount of high-sounding reason can be used as an excuse for half-heartedness.
If it is true that the wife does not give birth to children, it can still be said that in the past, but it is clear that there are already sons-in-law, and they may have to give birth in the future, so what do they need so many concubines for?
Fighting for wives and concubines, making women unrecognizable and even horrible and hateful?
Or is it for the sake of the sake of the family business by fighting for power and profit among their own children and killing each other?
In addition to satisfying men's selfish desires and vanity, it is all human tragedy!
It's ridiculous to think about it, why should a woman have to accept a child who loves others as if she were her own?
And why do you think that wives and concubines should be like sisters?
And why do you think that half-siblings should be brothers and sisters and love each other?
Isn't that stupid and arrogant, and isn't it?
Not to mention one family, how many tragedies in the court and state affairs are caused by wives and concubines fighting and cannibalism?
Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the first prince Chai Cheng today, if it weren't for the dispute between the concubines, where would there be a tragedy where the father drove out his own son? ”
Youchen was stunned, is this still the taciturn and arrogant Xiaojun? I've never heard him say so much at once.
Especially after starting to change his voice, Xiaojun almost cherished words like gold.
Qingling has already had little stars in his eyes, although the voice of the voice change period is really not good, but it does not affect his radiance at the moment.
If these words are said by a woman, it is common, and if a middle-aged uncle who has been through the vicissitudes of his life say them, it seems to be understandable.
can be said by a young and beautiful young man sonorously and forcefully, how can it make people so moved and emotional?
Xiao Jun was unaware of the shock and touch of the only two listeners, and still talked eloquently:
"Isn't the rebellion planted by the dispute between the princes and the concubines during the period of the prince Chai Cheng?
Relatives cannibalize each other, the court is turbulent, and the people are not happy, not to mention such a tragedy in history, how many are there in our Great Zhou Dynasty?
Is this what it is called for the sake of family inheritance and prosperity for future generations? Give birth to them and let them kill each other or kill them with their own hands?
Where is this adopted son? Isn't this what Master Yunyin said about raising Gu?
Could it be that if you marry a woman with a family of thoughts, and give birth to a bunch of children who you fight for and kill each other, the heirs will prosper? Will the family have a long history?
Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that I am the two saints of Taizu and Empress Taizu, how much pressure and opposition have they undergone, and they must insist on being a couple for the rest of their lives?
They also only gave birth to two sons and one daughter, and no matter which dynasty or generation, they are considered to have few children.
But has our Great Zhou Dynasty broken the inheritance? Is it because the territory is not vast, or is the country not prosperous? Or is the Chai family not thriving?
If it weren't for the fact that the other emperors gave birth to a large number of unscrupulous descendants who killed each other, and caused countless tragedies that violated the common cause and disrupted the family and country, the Great Zhou would be even more prosperous and developed than it is now! ”
