Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 307 Mercy and Cruelty
Shen Ji was even more depressed, and she was ashamed on the outside.

He said firmly: "Since the queen is not waiting to see you, the concubine will just leave."

Jiang Fusang knew that she was misunderstood, and explained, "I am not targeting you, nor do I want to help, but—"

After a pause, he said: "I'm afraid I can't give you some guidance, and I might miss you."

Seeing her being so sincere, Shen Ji's annoyance faded away, and she sat back slowly.

"How could it be? Mammy said that the lady is a very clever person."

Jiang Fosang smiled with bent lips: "Many things are not enough to be smart. Sometimes I feel the same as you, feeling hesitant, confused, and not knowing where to go."

Shen Ji couldn't imagine that, as a concubine, her family background is good, her appearance and talent are all outstanding, and her husband's master loves her very much now, what shortcomings does she have?
Jiang Fosang shook his head, "The concubine is much better than the concubine Ji before I know it, but it's just a slightly nicer name, and she stands taller than others in the inner house, a little more like a person."

"But," in memory, Mr. used four fingers to frame a small piece of square sky, "how high can the sky be that can be reached with one's hand?"

At that time, Jiang Fosang didn't understand very well, isn't it all like this?Isn't it always like this?What else.

Until one time when she went to Dafeng Garden, she saw Feng Quan, who was still in office at the time, giving lectures to the stewards and slaves in the manor, and she suddenly understood.

Wives and concubines, concubines, and concubines sometimes want to come, and they are no different from those slaves and servants.They were locked in a garden and artificially divided into ranks.

Feng Quan is like a wife. As a planner, she is not a slave. She manages all the slaves in the manor. She seems to be superior to others, but in fact she is just a slave in the eyes of the owner of the manor.

The status and wealth he has accumulated for half his life can be taken away in an instant, and someone can replace him at any time... There is no way out, only endless internal strife.

There are not many paths left for women to walk. If they are not wives, they can become concubines, and if they are not slaves, they can become prostitutes. They all have to depend on others. Even if there are colorful flowers, they are like castles in the air, and a strong wind will destroy the nest... How similar.

But can these be said to Shen Ji?Where should I start?

Looking at Shen Ji who was already confused because of her words just now, she couldn't help but recall the time when her husband was dying.

"Ah Chou, forget what I said. Forget it. If you don't understand, you don't have to figure it out. It's probably because I'm too lonely that I talk nonsense to you... I regret teaching you those things. , the world is difficult, it doesn’t matter if you are confused, as long as you live well.”

If you point out the plight of others, but you can't point out the way for them, or even that way doesn't exist at all, is it compassion or cruelty?

Jiang Fosang thought for a while, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Although Mr. said, be ruthless, push yourself out from under the eaves, face the wind and rain, and you will know where to go.

But not everyone is suitable for this, like Shen Ji, pushing her out in this situation is tantamount to ruining her.Let's go step by step.

"You don't want Israel to serve others, so what do you want?" Jiang Fosang asked her.

Shen Ji shook her head, she was the kind of lady who came to look for her because she didn't know what she wanted.

Thinking about Xiao Yuandu's proposal, Jiang Fusang hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "If you are given a chance to be someone else's wife, would you be willing?"

With the looks of the nine concubine's family background, as long as they are willing to follow those officials and generals, they can be regarded as legitimate wives.In the future, with Fengyan together, these people may become upstarts, which is also a good choice.

She also asked Xiao Yuandu if she could let them go if Jiuyi was unwilling.Xiao Yuandu naturally had nothing to say, he only wanted to send Jiumei away, and he didn't really care about their whereabouts.

But all of this is just talk on paper at present, and it will take a few years to wait for it to come true.

As expected, Shen Ji's eyes widened: "Of course I am willing!" As long as the other party is gentler than the current husband and treats her better, why not?
Now that she has figured it out, she would rather be a poor family wife than a concubine.

But how is it possible?They are concubines bestowed by the imperial court, so how can there be any reason to remarry?
Jiang Fusang didn't go into details, but just told her, "I don't have a better solution for the time being, but I just think that instead of doing nothing and thinking negatively all day long, I should find something I like to do. likes; and then there is a heart that does not depend on others.”

The combination of these two may one day be able to derive the ability not to be attached to others.

Shen Ji wrote down one by one as if listening to Sanskrit, and then asked: "If I do these things, will men like me? Like me like a queen?"

"When you do this, maybe you don't care whether others like it or not."

Shen Ji was skeptical, but Jiang Fosang couldn't help but laugh.
-
After Shen Ji went back, she thought about it, but she couldn't find any more practical hobbies besides dressing up. Remembering that the female monarch often keeps her hands on the book, and she can barely read a few words, she wanted to imitate one or two.

She was not very interested in "Shangshu Zhangju", "Chunqiu Zuoshi Zhuan" and "Mao Shijian", "Zhuangzi Zhuangzi" and "Analects of Confucius", which are hard to find for outside Confucian scholars, so Jiang Fosang picked out a copy of "Feng Chan" for her. "Yi Ji" is a travel book written by people from the previous dynasty. It is not as boring as the previous ones, and Shen Ji can barely read it.

She didn't bother Jiang Fosang, and went to the next room.

Calamus peeked in a few times when passing by, and couldn't help laughing when she came back, saying that Shen Ji couldn't read half a page, so she would touch her hair, look at the copper mirror, drink a cup of tea, and eat a few pieces of cake bait. It's like going to jail.

Jiang Fosang said, "The nine-story platform starts from the base of the earth, take your time."

On this day, Shen Ji did not arrive, but Su Ji did come.

He returned to his previous timid and cautious appearance, and didn't say much.When Jiang Fosang wanted to practice calligraphy, she knelt at the end of the desk to grind for Jiang Fosang. Jiang Fusang wrote for half a day, and she knelt like this for half a day, and continued in the afternoon.

Calamus is not like a good woman who treats Su Ji with a cold face when she sees her back, but after the previous incident, it is difficult to treat her with a good face.

Su Ji didn't realize it.

In the evening, Jiang Fosang put away the pen, she got up before Calamus, took the pen and washed it.

When the washed pen was hanging in the pen rack to dry, Jiang Fosang handed her the "Ksitigarbha Vow Sutra" that he had copied for a day.

"This is?"

"For you."

Although it was a scripture to save the dead, Jiang Su took it with a flattered face, "Thank you, my lady, regardless of the past, I also gave you a calligraphy, my concubine really..."

"Su Ji is very good at pleading guilty."

Jiang Su blushed in embarrassment.

Jiang Fosang didn't continue to make things difficult for her: "Tomorrow I invited Shen Ji to climb Gaofeng Mountain together, Su Ji would like to go with her?"

Jiang Su thought that this was a pass, and replied in fear and fear: "It is my honor to be able to accompany the queen to ascend the heights."

"Well, let's rest early today."

Watching Suji go out, Changpu was puzzled: "Why does the lady bother with her?"

She obviously lost sight of her backer, and the fifth son no longer saw her, so she came to lie down in front of the queen again to be a little girl.

So overturned, when others are stupid?It's strange that Dao Liang has always been honest with Su Ji, presumably she has seen through her true face long ago.

Jiang Fosang didn't say anything, just let her prepare well.
