rich concubine

Chapter 1871 Such an era

Now that the pregnancy was confirmed, there was nothing for her to worry about. Looking at the orderly yard maintained by Rong Yi, He Zhiyuan showed a bit of envy in her eyes. She said, "I used to like to take care of things at home." I looked at the rows of flowers planted beside the yard. When they bloomed, I felt that I could not only breathe, but also laugh. But at that time, the old lady of the Cui family said, if I If you focus on how to serve your mother-in-law and take care of your husband, you won’t always be unable to get pregnant.”

Hearing this, Rong Yi was speechless. This kind of thing cannot be changed, as if the daughter-in-law was born to be suppressed by the mother-in-law. There are really very few mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who get along peacefully in this world.

She said: "Some people are used to living a hard life, and when life gets a little better, they don't know how to feel sorry for others. In other words, she only feels sorry for the people she cares about. The old lady of the Cui family was born in farming and has a son. His family has become very prosperous, but even Cui Shilang's current position and his connections can only be regarded as average in the capital. In fact, from what I see, it is not easy for Cui Shikang to get to where he is today. He must have the ability. He is also capable, but it is a pity that if he cannot learn how to build a family, it will be difficult for him to do anything."

Speaking of this, she looked at He Zhiyuan and said: "There is an old saying that men take charge of the outside world and women take charge of the house. It seems that from the time a woman is born, she must learn to take charge of the house, learn to care for her husband and teach her children, and take care of the whole family. Everything is so orderly that outsiders can't say anything wrong, but a man's world is always outside. Whatever they do outside is hard work. When they get home, they must have a virtuous wife and a docile concubine to take care of him comfortably. It's comfortable, but in fact, a perfect home cannot be managed by just one woman. If the man is not effective at home, the home will collapse sooner or later. There is an old saying that marrying a poor wife will destroy three generations. , you see, how vicious this is to women, no one cares about who caused a woman's unworthiness."

"Yes! The past few years of marriage have been more frustrating than being a girl at home. When I was young at home, my mother took me to learn various things. She would get up before dawn, and she would still stand up after dark. At that time, I really complained. I always thought that as long as I got married and had children like my mother, my life would be easier as an adult. But only after I got married did I realize that everything at home was good and what my mother taught me was correct. of."

"..."

"Tell me, whose daughter, who has worked so hard to raise her, wants to be sent to someone else's house to be abused? The things I have learned since elementary school and the broadened horizons have taught me to be what I am now, except for childbirth. At first level, I can be a virtuous wife who is impeccable to others, but these are not enough in my husband's family. Only after a woman gets married does she realize that the world is difficult. Going back to her family's family becomes a guest, but in her husband's family, she is a foreigner, and she doesn't care about anything. A retreat."

Rong Yi also felt sadness well up in her heart. She said: "Yes, we only know the difficulties of women when we grow up. I am also a person with daughters. I am particularly afraid of them growing up, afraid that they will make challenges, and I am also afraid that they will not make mistakes. , afraid that they are too smart, and also afraid that they are too dull. Women who are too smart may not be lovable if they live a tiring life, but women who are blindly obedient are blind and confused all day long, and they don’t know what energy they have. Son."

There is no wine at this time, and the breeze brings sorrow. How can the sufferings given to women in this era be explained in such a short time.

With tears in his eyes, He Zhiyuan said with a smile: "However, the world is becoming more and more enlightened, and the requirements for women are far less stringent than in the past. Maybe it will be better in the future. In ten, 20, or 100 years, when At that time, maybe women could be officials in court, go out and look at the mountains and rivers outside, and they wouldn’t look at anything strange.”

This is really a beautiful wish, and it is also an era without discrimination and oppression. Rong Yi picked up the tea cup and said with a distant salute: "There will definitely be such a day. Then I wish that such an era in the future can come sooner. Live up to our expectations.”

……

Zhu Lingyu was originally going to see Rong Yi. When she heard this conversation outside the courtyard wall, she paused and suddenly heard the lady inside saying again: "The wind has picked up, let's go inside and sit down."

Following the sound of footsteps, they entered the house. Zhu Lingyu paused, and Zhuyu asked softly: "Auntie, are you still going in?"

Zhu Lingyu shook her head and said, "Madam has guests to entertain today, please come back later."

The master and the servant walked back. After a while, Zhuyu heard her master ask again: "Do you think there will be such an era?" Zhuyu was stunned and didn't react for a while, but Zhu Lingyu didn't seem to want an answer. Just mutter to yourself.

After the master and servant left, a shadow flashed across the courtyard. Fu Ling got the news and entered the room and whispered a few words in Rong Yi's ear. Rong Yi paused, then waved her hand to indicate that it was clear, and Fu Ling stepped back.

He Zhiyuan saw it and didn't ask any more questions.

Rong Yi also talked about other things.

"The spring hunting will be here soon. The spring hunting comes too late this year. Will you go then?"

He Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "I haven't been able to sit still yet, and it's inconvenient to go. Besides, I'll probably run into the Cui family on that occasion. It's best for our two families not to meet each other during this period." .”

Then he said: "My brothers were going crazy at home when they found out about this, and they all threatened to beat him up, but how could I just watch this happen? After all, he is a member of the imperial court. Official, even if it is for family affairs, being beaten up by my family members is morally justified, but it is also dishonorable, and you will always encounter it in the officialdom in the future. One more thing is worse than one less thing."

Rong Yi nodded and said: "That's a good thing. In short, we will see the outcome in the future. There's nothing you can do if you rush now. Just stay calm now and you will find it exciting when you watch the show later."

"Well, you must go. You have been wasting a lot of time on my affairs during this period, so about this..." He Zhiyuan looked worried and guilty.

Rong Yi smiled and said: "It won't be such a delay. After all, there are still a few days left, which is enough for me to prepare well. This spring hunting can only last for three days at most. It is said to be a spring hunting, but it is more like a hunting trip for adults. Let’s have some rest and entertainment. I also heard that after the spring hunting, a lady will take the lead in organizing a women’s Cuju competition. You should go together then, it’s fun to sit there and watch.”

Cuju competition?He Zhiyuan frowned, coughed slightly, and looked at Rong Yi, who looked uncomfortable.

Seeing her like this, Rong Yi blinked and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
