Chapter 47: The Little Dumb Man's Journey Home
Catchy melodies and lyrics come to mind. The opening song of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" is almost a household name in modern China. But few people know that the original author of this lyrics and song is Yang Shen, who is known as "the first of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty".
Qin Liu had specially understood it before, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Yang Shen is a dazzling pearl in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
He was the champion in his life, exiled to the frontier, wrote countless books and poems, and was the son of Shoufu. Life is not without glory.
Such a talented man is actually the original childhood sweetheart?
Qin Liu suddenly felt that he was so honored to be able to meet a great talent who had left a name in history!
She is more curious about the past of the original body - the original body can be a childhood sweetheart with the son of Shousuke, and her life experience is definitely not different, I don't know what the identity is.
It's a pity that I didn't have time to ask Yang Shengongzi, who stayed in Jiangxuezhai.
When she came back from selling horses, that Yang Gongzi was afraid that he would leave early.
Thinking of this, Qin Liu was so depressed that he fell asleep again.
A new dream strikes.
âĻâĻ
Her mother passed away due to childbirth. She cried so much that her heart and intestines were broken.
Fat Guangsi comforted her: "Don't cry, I won't grab pastries with you anymore." â
Yang Shen begged her: "If you put flowers on my head, I won't be angry, don't cry, okay?" â
She didn't know what to say, so she pointed to the two feet that had just been wrapped in a footcloth and cried, "It hurts......"
Guangsi and Yang Shen looked at each other, one was busy supporting the maid and the maid out, and the other came over to untie the footcloth for her, and also helped her cover up, and put on her shoes and couldn't see the clue.
She suddenly felt less sad.
Although these two sworn friends are sometimes very ungraceful and fight for a few pastries, they are really their own people - they dare to do this kind of disobedience to their elders.
The dream came full circle, and she had a stepmother.
The fact that she couldn't wrap her feet eventually became a big one and alarmed the whole family.
Grandfather's final word: "How can my daughter of the Liu family follow the example of those pedantic people and learn to bind her feet and misbehaves to please others?" Not wrapped! â
The stepmother looked at her father with horror in her eyes.
She also looked at her father with wide eyes and panic.
Grandmother said that if she hadn't been wrapped in a three-inch golden lotus since she was a child, she would not be able to marry a good family in the future. She couldn't think of such a long-term thing as getting married. But if Daddy insisted on her binding her feet, it would be difficult for her to resist to the end.
Father just said: "Your grandfather has experienced seven catastrophes without dying, so he has the powerful position he has now, and his mind and vision are naturally different from others, and this matter is up to his old man." â
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Since then, Liu Ge has a big foot daughter, and when he is close to age, no half of the family comes to express his intention to marry and betroth, and he has become a laughing stock in the boudoir.
The stepmother comforted her and said that the number one reason why no one asked to marry was that her grandfather was selfless, unsentimental, and old and could become famous at any time. The second is that because she has big feet, the noble ladies of those official eunuchs will not want a girl who dares to disobey the world as a daughter-in-law.
âĻâĻ
When he woke up in the middle of the night, Qin Liu touched his pure natural and pollution-free feet, and felt that the dream was too absurd and bizarre.
She knew that these dreams were actually memories of the original body, and little by little they were triggered to unfold to her.
She knows best how good the appearance condition of this body is, white skin, beautiful and long legs, enlarged breasts and buttocks, slender waist, she is definitely the best among women, and no one asks for marriage?
The reason is that she didn't wrap up her deformed little feet of three-inch golden lotus?!
It's so unreasonable!
After the prevalence of Cheng Zhu Lixue, the status of women in feudal society fell again and again, and the behavior of women's foot binding, which was popular in a small range from the Song Dynasty, gradually became a fashion in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also an accessory product of the three obedience and four virtues.
In particular, aristocratic women who do not go out of the door will be considered as vulgar as commoner women and even maidservants if they do not bind their feet, and they will not be able to get on the stage.
Qin Liu could understand. It is not just the small feet that are bound by the footcloth, but the nature of the woman's character.
The success of foot binding shows that this girl is very supple and tolerant, and there will be no major problems in the three obedience and four virtues.
For the aristocracy, women are more likely to obey the will of men, and are good at forbearance and begging to be an accessory. And the behavior of binding feet, which is abnormal in pain and requires persistence all year round, has become a good ruler to test women's virtue, but it has won the favor of those noble ladies and has become more and more popular.
Qin Liu was puzzled, the little fat man Hu Guangsi and the talented Yang Shen, two childhood sweethearts who had no guesses, didn't reach out to her to ask her for a kiss?
She rolled over and couldn't sleep anymore.
The original maiden name is Liu, nicknamed A Jiang, and his grandfather is a righteous official, an official to the cabinet elder, and it is very likely that he also became the first assistant of the cabinet and is the emperor's teacher.
With these clues, maybe she can find out which family's daughter she is.
Qin Liu sighed.
It's also to blame her, in the past few years, she has just been busy making money to survive, and she hasn't paid attention to the current political affairs of this era at all. Otherwise, you will soon know the original mother's family.
She wasn't in a hurry either, planning to take her time.
After a day and a night of lying down and resting, Qin Liu's body recovered a lot.
When eating breakfast after dawn, Qin Liu looked at the people who were busy packing their luggage, and he was a little embarrassed.
Her physical strength is too poor, especially her horseback riding skills, which are very limited.
The little mute looked much more excited at this time than when he was in Sand Castle Town, and there was an irrepressible light in the depths of his eyes.
Qin Liu laughed and joked while drinking hot rice porridge, "Are you happy to go home?" â
The little mute laughed as he rolled up the tent and tied it to the horse's back, "Yes! It's been more than 10 years, and it's the first time I' â
Qin Liu almost squirted out the porridge, and she asked curiously, "Aren't you from the grassland?" How is it the first time to go home? â
She went and brought a bowl of porridge to the little mute who had been busy. I have to say that this young man is really diligent and capable, and he can't tell that he is a prince at all.
The little mute grinned and whispered: "I left my parents and brothers at a very young age and went to the right wing, where I have been held hostage until now. The gang that wanted to kill me last year was the one who wanted to arrest me from the right wing. â
He finished drinking the porridge, and looked at the distant north æšī¸ with expectant and worried eyes: "When I go home this time, I don't know if they still remember my ......"
Qin Liu took the empty bowl handed over by the little mute, and saw that he turned around and got busy again, skillfully and neatly sorting out the items for himself and tying them to the horse's back.
There was a slight difference in my heart.
He was a prince, but he was also a poor hostage.
She kind of understood the mood of the little mute who didn't care about money but had to ask for shares in her shop.
Growing up away from home as a hostage, he may not have anything for himself.
He inadvertently gave him half of the shares of Swallow Tower, which made him feel like he was in charge.
The golden morning sun shone on the little mute, and his shadow stretched long on the grass.
A group of people traveled day and night, and rarely saw people.
After two or three days, I finally entered the hilly and undulating grassland area.
