April is the season of fruit harvest. Fujian sent fresh fruits such as mango, pineapple and loquat. However, it's not easy to transport because the road is far away, and Yuxi and Yunqing are not heavy on the appetite, so the amount is not much.
The original quantity is not much, and these fruits still need to be rewarded, and there is not much left in the palace.
Looking at the mango and pineapple, I didn't see the loquat. Shumeng asked the guy who sent the loquat: "I heard that there are a lot of loquats on the bottom?"
The mother-in-law said with a smile, "the eldest princess likes loquat best, so the Queen's mother ordered her to send all loquats to Zhanghua palace."
The face of book dream is heavy.
The mother-in-law smiled a few words, hurriedly retreated. But when she got back, she reported it back to Qu's mother.
Tan Aoshuang saw the pineapple cut by shumengduan. He was surprised and asked, "why not loquat?" Tan Aoshuang likes loquat very much. When she was at Tan's house, she would eat loquat every day in the mature season. However, eat a small bowl every day, not a lot.
Shumeng said: "Prince and concubine, the empress loquat of Shanggong has all been given to the eldest princess."
Tan Aoshuang also didn't care, said: "the elder sister is pregnant, and it's common for her to think about her first after her mother."
Book dream is very disgusted to say: "prince princess, loquat is a small thing. But the eldest princess has never seen a married girl return to her mother's house to give birth. It's so unruly. It's also said that empress dowager pays attention to rules. It's all lies. " When she said this, she kept her voice down.
Tan Aoshuang also felt that Yuxi did things at will, not as strict as the rules of the outside world. However, I think it's one thing, and it's another thing to say: "this time, I'll give it up, and I'll say I'll send you back to Tan's next time." Save to stay in the palace and bring disaster to her with your mouth open.
After dinner, Yuxi said to tan Aoshuang, "follow me to the garden."
Tan Aoshuang's heart jumped, but he said with a low brow: "yes, the mother."
The imperial garden in April is very beautiful. But Tan Aoshuang, at this time, there is no mood to watch. From Kunning palace to here, Yuxi didn't say a word. Make her uneasy.
When he came to the huge osmanthus tree, Yuxi stopped and asked lightly, "I heard that I didn't send all the loquats to Fuqing palace for jujube and jujube. You are very dissatisfied."
Tan Aoshuang's face changed a lot.
Without waiting for her explanation, Yuxi said, "I know you are not such a mean person." If Tan Aoshuang is so narrow-minded, she can't see it.
Tan Aoshuang's heart was slightly loose, but soon Yuxi's words made her mention her heart again.
Yuxi said lightly, "but I know you have some complaints about jujube entering the palace for labor. Even if you eat with the whole family, you don't think it's proper. " These Yuxi all look in the eye, but she has not said. She just wanted to see when Tan Aoshuang would challenge her. Unfortunately, I haven't waited so long. It has to be said that Tan Aoshuang's endurance is good. In other words, Tan Tuojiao succeeded.
"No daughter-in-law..." But to the eyes of shangyuxi who knows everything, Tan Aoshuang can't say what he refutes.
Yuxi said, "you are familiar with the four women's books. Do you agree with the four women's books?"
Tan Aoshuang didn't know what medicine Yuxi gourd sold. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "the four women's books were handed down the year before last. They have their own advantages."
Yuxi said with a smile: "the seven parts of the female precept are humble, weak, couple, respect and caution, women's behavior, concentration, Qu Cong and uncle and sister. It is said that women are not born to be equal to men; couples make women take their husbands as the heaven, so they should serve them respectfully and cautiously... "
Tan Aoshuang did not expect that Yuxi should also be familiar with the female ring.
Yuxi said: "pay attention and emphasize that the chaste woman does not marry her second husband, while the man's wife can remarry when she dies, and the woman's husband can never remarry when she dies. In Banzhao's mind, it is against the law of heaven for a woman to go down to court. According to what she said, the women who died and remarried are unforgivable. In this way, after the war, the widows who died their husbands could only keep the memorial tablets, even if they could not survive with their children and starve to death, they could not remarry. The adult man and the soldiers who have been released from the army and returned to the fields can only live alone until they marry the eldest daughter of the Huang family. "
The former dynasty would choose some women whose husbands died and did not remarry as examples to give them chastity memorial archways. This thing has been cancelled by Yuxi.
Tan Aoshuang listens to one Leng and one Leng, she thinks what Yuxi said is wrong, but she doesn't know how to refute. After returning to God, Tan Aoshuang bowed his head and repeated the sentence: "empress mother, the ring can be handed down for thousands of years with her own merits."
"Well, you're right. There's merit. But it's more dross. " Women's ring, to be exact, is the shackle used by men to enslave women. However, Yuxi did not continue this topic with Tan Aoshuang, but talked about the marriage of triplets. Yuxi means let her help you.
As a long sister-in-law, this is also her responsibility, Tan Aoshuang agreed.
Back to Fuqing palace, Tan Aoshuang sat in a chair, dazed. It has to be said that Yuxi's words today have a great impact on her.
When Qi Hao came back, he saw Tan Aoshuang frowning, with a very tangled look.
Sitting beside Tan Aoshuang, Qi Hao asked with a smile, "his brow is so wrinkled that he can kill flies. What's the trouble? "
Tan Aoshuang thought about it, and told Qi Hao what Yuxi said to her today: "husband, do you think the female ring is not good?"
Qi Hao said: "after my parents settled the world, the population was only 30% of that before the war. Widows make up a quarter of the population. If the widow can't remarry according to the precepts, the population is afraid that there will be no such thing as Chengdu and Chengdu before the war. " This is why the court encouraged widows to remarry.
Tan Aoshuang is a woman in the back house. It's normal that she doesn't understand these things. However, as long as she is willing to learn and then make changes, Qihao thinks it's OK.
"So it is." Tan Tuo will report the residence to tan Aoshuang and help her out. Tan Tuo is to accept the view that men are superior to women, and naturally will not guide her in this respect.
Qi Hao said with a smile, "my mother told you that it must be intentional. You can learn from her." As long as his wife can have half of her mother's wisdom and open-minded, he will be satisfied.
After two days, Yuxi takes Tan Aoshuang out.
Tan Aoshuang was uneasy. He got on the carriage and asked, "mother, where are we going?"
"Take you to see what kind of life folk women have." Let her know the living environment of folk women, maybe we can change the inherent idea.
Yuxi first takes Tan Aoshuang to a Hutong. Tan Aoshuang is confused and suddenly hears a cry from afar.
Turning the corner, Tan Aoshuang saw a slovenly man beating a woman. The woman was beaten black and blue, and her mouth was bleeding. She still held the man's leg and said, "this is Frost's medicine money. You will die if you take away frost."
When the man kicked the woman to the ground, he saw that the woman would climb up and hug her leg again, and he said angrily, "if you dare to block my way again, I will throw the loss goods into the moat."
The woman was too scared to move. The man took the money and soon disappeared in the alley.
Tan Aoshuang could not bear to go over and remove a gold bracelet from his hand to give the woman: "the child's condition can't be delayed, so he took the child to the hospital to see a doctor for medicine." She went out without any silver. She took off the ring and other jewelry. Only the table was covered with sleeves, so it didn't come off.
The woman stupefied, then quickly took the gold bracelet and gave Tan Aoshuang three heads: "thank you for your kindness." Tan Aoshuang is not very old, and she is not dressed in a woman's bun, so she is regarded as a girl.
Then the woman got up and went home, carrying the child to the hospital.
Yuxi went back to the carriage and leaned on the pillow and said, "this woman's surname is Yao. Her husband eats, drinks, whores and gambles. Frost is her fourth child. She is only four years old this year. "
Tan Aoshuang is astonished: "so many children that man still like this, how can children live?"
Yuxi smiled, and the smile was warm: "the three children in front were all sold by the man. The second eldest is that the girl is sold to the building by him, and the third is that the son is sold to the big family. The money was sold, and the man went whoring and gambling. "
Tan Aoshuang's eyes widened.
Yuxi asked, "if it was you, what would you do if a man sold his children and his daughter to the building?"
Tan Aoshuang never thought about this problem, but her children are the heart and soul of her mother. She will do her best to protect her children: "I will definitely fight with him to protect the children."
Yuxi's eyes flashed a touch of relief and said, "but this woman knows that her husband sold her children to the building. She did nothing but cry for her own life and her child's life. Now you have given the bracelet to save the little girl's life. In two or three years, the child will repeat the fate of her two sisters and be sold to the building. " It was a relief for the child to die like this.
Tan Aoshuang's face was a little white. After half a sound, she couldn't help herself: "mother, why don't we help them?" In fact, what she would like to say is why Yuxi didn't help her.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "help? How can I help? In her heart, husband is God, she can only obey and can't resist. " It's said that it's better to be a mother. The children born in October can't resist being sold to a dirty place. For such a person, Yuxi doesn't need to help.
Thinking of what Yuxi said to her two days ago, Tan Aoshuang understood: "we can help that child."
Yuxi said, "but there are thousands of children with such fate. You can't save one but not all."
Tan Aoshuang was very clever, and immediately understood Yuxi's meaning: "what do you mean, the woman was poisoned by the four female books just now?" But she didn't think it had much to do with the ring. It was because the woman was too weak that she fell into such a miserable situation.
Yuxi did not speak, but said, "you have to think about it yourself."
