The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1715

[Chapter 1715 Tan Aoshuang Extra Story (1)]

April is the season of fruit harvest. Fujian sent mangoes, pineapples, loquats and other fresh fruits. However, due to the long distance and difficult transportation, and Yuxi and Yunqing were not heavy-fed, the quantity was not large.

The original number was not much, and some of these fruits were still to be rewarded, so there was not much left in the palace.

Looking at the mangoes, pineapples and other items that were delivered, but not seeing any loquats, Shumeng asked the boy who delivered the items, “I heard that a batch of loquats was sent down below?”

The old lady smiled and said, “The eldest princess likes to eat loquats the most, so the Empress ordered to come down and have the servants send all the loquats to Zhanghua Palace.”

Shu Meng’s face sank.

The mother-in-law smiled a few words and hurriedly backed away. But after returning, she reported the matter to Mother Qu.

Tan Aoshuang saw the cut pineapple brought in by Shumeng, and asked in surprise, “Why don’t you have loquats?” Tan Aoshuang likes loquats very much. When she was in Tan’s house, whenever the loquats were ripe, she would eat them every day. However, if you eat a small bowl every day, you won’t eat a lot.

Shumeng said: “Prince Concubine, the loquat empress who paid tribute has all been given to the eldest princess.”

Tan Aoshuang didn’t care, and said, “eldest sister is pregnant, it’s normal for the mother to think about her first.”

Shumeng said in disgust: “Prince Concubine, loquat is a trivial matter. But regarding the eldest princess, I have never seen a married girl go back to her mother’s house to give birth. This is too unruly. She also said that the queen is strict with rules. , it’s all nonsense.” When she said this, she lowered her voice.

Tan Aoshuang also felt that Yuxi did things as she wanted, and was not as strict as the outside world. However, thinking about it is one thing, saying it out is another thing: “Forget it this time, next time I’m going to tell you that I will send you back to Tan’s house.” You don’t have to stay in the palace and openly cause trouble to her.

Shu Meng hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare to say more.

After dinner that day, Yu Xi said to Tan Aoshuang, “Follow me to the garden for a walk.”

Tan Aoshuang’s heart skipped a beat, but she still lowered her eyebrows and said pleasingly, “Yes, Queen Mother.”

The Royal Garden in April is very beautiful. But Tan Aoshuang, at this time, was not in the mood to watch at all. From Kunning Palace all the way to this place, Yuxi didn’t say a word. It made her feel uneasy.

When they arrived under the huge osmanthus tree, Yuxi stopped and asked indifferently, “I heard that I gave all the loquats to Zaozao and did not send them to Fuqing Palace. You are very dissatisfied.”

Tan Aoshuang’s complexion changed greatly.

Without waiting for her explanation, Yu Xi said, “I know you are not such a stingy person.” If Tan Aoshuang was so narrow-minded, she would not look down on her.

Tan Aoshuang’s heart was slightly relieved, but Yuxi’s words soon brought her heart up again.

Yuxi said lightly, “However, I know that you have a lot of criticism about Zaozao entering the palace to give birth. Even if the whole family eats together, you feel that it is unethical.” Say. She just wanted to see when Tan Aoshuang would object to her. Too bad it didn’t take so long. I have to say that Tan Aoshuang’s endurance is not bad. In other words, Tan Tuo taught very successfully.

“Daughter-in-law doesn’t have…” But when she met Yuxi’s insightful eyes, Tan Aoshuang couldn’t say anything.

Oak-hee said, “You are familiar with the Fourth Book of Women, do you agree with what is written in the Fourth Book of Women?”

Tan Aoshuang didn’t know what medicine was sold in Yuxi’s gourd. After thinking about it for a while, she said, “The Four Books of Women were passed down the year before last, and there are their own merits.”

Oak Xi smiled and said, “The seven chapters of the Precepts for Women, Weakness, Husband and Wife, Jingshen, Women Xing, Concentration, Qu Cong, and Uncles. Weakness means that women are not born equal to men; A woman regards her husband as her heaven and needs to serve respectfully and discreetly…”

Tan Aoshuang did not expect that Yuxi was also familiar with the female ring.

Yuxi said, “Concentrate on emphasizing that virgin women do not marry two husbands, while men can remarry when their wives die, and women can never remarry when their husbands die. In Ban Zhao’s mind, it is unreasonable for women to go to court. As I said, those women whose husbands die and remarry are unforgivable. If this is the case, those widows whose husbands have died after the war can only guard the tablet, even if they cannot live with their children and starve to death, they cannot remarry. Men and soldiers who have been disarmed and returned to their fields can only die alone without marrying the eldest daughter of the Huang family.”

In the previous dynasty, some women whose husbands would not remarry would be selected as examples, and they would be given chastity arches. This thing has been cancelled by Yuxi.

Tan Aoshuang was taken aback for a moment, she felt that what Yuxi said was wrong, but she didn’t know how to refute it. After regaining his senses, Tan Aoshuang lowered his head and repeated the words just now: “Empress mother, the female ring can be passed down for thousands of years and has its own merits.”

“Well, you’re right, it does have merit. However, it’s more of dross.” Women’s Rings, to be precise, the Four Books of Women, are the shackles that men use to enslave women. However, Yuxi did not continue this topic with Tan Aoshuang, but talked about the triplets’ marriage. Oak-hee meant to let her help.

As the elder sister-in-law, this is also her responsibility, and Tan Aoshuang agreed.

Back at Fuqing Palace, Tan Aoshuang sat in a chair in a daze. It had to be said that Oak Xi’s words today had a great impact on her.

When Qi Hao came back, he saw Tan Aoshuang frowning, looking very confused.

Sitting beside Tan Aoshuang, Qi Hao asked with a smile, “The frown is so frowning that the flies can be caught. What’s the difficulty?”

Tan Aoshuang thought for a while, and told Qihao what Yuxi said to her today: “Husband, do you also think female rings are bad?”

Qi Hao said: “After the father and mother settled the world, the population will only be 30% of the pre-war population. Among this group, widows account for a quarter. If you follow the female precepts, widows cannot remarry, then the population will be 20 years later. I am afraid that even before the war, there are no two percent.” This is why the court encouraged widows to remarry.

Tan Aoshuang is a woman in the back house, so it’s normal to not understand these things. But as long as she is willing to learn and change, Qi Hao thinks it’s okay.

“So that’s the case.” Tan Tuo would report Di to Tan Aoshuang and help her solve her doubts. But Tan Tuo agrees that men are superior to women, and naturally he will not guide her in this regard.

Qi Hao said with a smile: “Mother told you this must be intentional, you should learn from her.” As long as his wife can have half the wisdom and open-mindedness of her mother, he will be satisfied.

After two days, Yuxi took Tan Aoshuang out.

Tan Aoshuang felt uneasy, got on the carriage and asked, “Mother, where are we going?”

“Take you to see what kind of life folk women live.” Letting her know the living environment of folk women may be able to change her inherent thinking.

Yuxi first took Tan Aoshuang to an alley. Tan Aoshuang was wondering when he suddenly heard a pleading voice in the distance.

Turning the corner, Tan Aoshuang saw a sloppy man beating a woman. The woman was beaten until her nose was blue, her face was swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding. She still hugged the man’s leg and said, “This is Shuang’er’s medicine money. If you take away Shuang’er, you will die.”

The man kicked the woman to the ground with one foot. Seeing the woman get up and hug his leg again, he cursed angrily, “If you dare to block my way again, I will throw the money-losing goods into the moat.”

The woman was too frightened to move, and the man quickly disappeared into the alley with the money.

Tan Aoshuang couldn’t bear it, she walked over and took off a twisted gold bracelet from her hand and gave it to the woman: “The child’s condition cannot be delayed. Take the child to the hospital to see a doctor and get medicine.” She did not bring any silver, but took out the ring and other jewelry. down. Only the table was covered by sleeves, so I didn’t take it off.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the gold bracelet and gave Tan Aoshuang a solid kowtow three times: “Thank you for your kindness and kindness.” Tan Aoshuang was young and did not wear a woman’s bun, so she just considered a girl.

After the woman finished speaking, she got up and went home, carrying the child to the hospital.

Oak Xi returned to the carriage and leaned on the pillow, and said, “This woman’s surname is Yao, and her husband eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles. The Shuang’er mentioned earlier is her fourth child, and she is only four years old this year.”

Tan Aoshuang was stunned: “How can the children live when there are so many children and this man is still like this?”

Yuxi smiled, and the smile was not warm: “The first three children were all sold by the man. The eldest and the second were a girl who was sold to the building by him, and the third was a son who was sold to a big family. Go. The money from the sale was gambled by the man who prostituted.”

Tan Aoshuang’s eyes widened.

Oak-hee asked, “If it were you, and the man sold his child and sold his daughter to the building, what would happen to you?”

Tan Aoshuang never thought about this issue, but her children are her mother’s heart, and she will do her best to protect her children: “I will definitely fight with him to protect the children.”

A flash of relief flashed in Oak-hee’s eyes, and she said, “But this woman knew that her husband sold the child to the building, and she did nothing but cry about her and the child’s suffering. Now you gave the bracelet to save the little girl. After two or three years, the child will repeat the fate of her two sisters and be sold to the building.” For the child, dying like this is a relief.

Tan Aoshuang’s face turned pale. After a while, she couldn’t help but say, “Mother, why don’t we help them?” In fact, what she wanted to say was why Yuxi didn’t help her.

Oak Xi shook his head and said, “Help? How to help? In her heart, she is a god, she can only obey and not resist.” resist. Oak-hee didn’t bother to help such a person.

Thinking of what Yuxi said to her two days ago, Tan Aoshuang understood: “We can help that child.”

Yuxi snorted and said, “But there are thousands of children with such a fate in the world. You can save one but not all of them.”

Tan Aoshuang was very smart, and immediately understood what Yuxi meant: “Mother, what do you mean, was that woman being poisoned by the Fourth Book of Women?” But she felt that it had nothing to do with Nujie. It was because this woman was too weak that she fell into such a tragic situation.

Oak-hee didn’t say anything, just said, “You have to think about this for yourself.”
