Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 509 Unpacking the Purse (2)
"Sister Li, I'm just worried about you."

Shen Bingyu sighed slightly, if she hadn't been cruelly betrayed by her stepmother back then, she wouldn't have come to the capital. What she was worried about in her heart was that Qingli would be involved in such a shocking prince dispute, and her future was uncertain.

"Sister Xiaoyu, have you considered getting married?"

Qingli turned her head to look at Shen Bingyu, more than four years have passed, sister Xiaoyu is almost 19 years old, and she is also at the age of marriage and having children. It is a bit late for ordinary noble girls in the capital to marry, but they will not exceed twenty, otherwise they will not be married. To a good family.The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt wanted to propose marriage to her many times, but they were all rejected. Sister Xiaoyu always smiled and said that she did not want to marry.

Shen Bingyu leaned on the carriage, with her head down, staring at the fan in her hand, without saying a word.Her eyes were clear, and there was an unapproachable coldness in her eyes.She was dressed in a blue-purple dress, with large lily flowers embroidered on the corners of the skirt and cuffs. She had a plump figure, and her body carried the faint fragrance of lilies.

"What's so good about being married, Sister Li, in the cloth village, there are often some rich people's mistresses and concubines' maids who come to the door together, because they compete for a good piece of fabric and end up tearing it together."

This is only a wealthy family, and there are several concubines in the family. It is unnecessary to mention the official family. How many people are willing to stick to it? Less than a year after his illness passed away, he married his stepmother.

Qingli nodded. It is true that in the official family or the aristocratic family, there are their own rules. A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine. They are extremely arrogant and conceited. Generally, they will not give away their concubines to wear a cuckold. After they get tired of playing, they will find a cool courtyard and let them fend for themselves. It is better to have concubines and concubines. , Those who have no children can only spend the rest of their lives in the deep courtyard.

However, this is the reality of the society now. You can’t just stay away from marriage for the rest of your life just because a man takes a concubine. The system of this era is like this. It is reasonable and legal for a man to take a concubine. Those who have money will also go to some dirty brothels and Chuguan to have fun. If the main wife does not allow concubines, then she is a jealous woman who is accused by thousands of people.

"Sister Xiaoyu, there are always people who don't take concubines. Look at my fourth uncle."

Qingli decided to give Shen Bingyu some positive energy. Although she felt that Xiaoyu's thinking was more in line with modern women, she also appreciated it, but in this era, such thinking is undesirable, and she has to work hard to find it.Take my fourth uncle as an example. From an obscure mountain villager, he became a fourth-rank general. It's not just my fourth aunt alone. Moreover, my fourth aunt only had it when she was in her twenties. For Xiao Zilu, even though he was far away at the border, Fourth Uncle didn't have those messy thoughts and was single-minded.

"Fourth Uncle is Fourth Uncle, Sister Li, tell me, can we women only be men's vassals?"

Shen Bingyu turned her head to the window of the carriage and looked out of the carriage through the curtains. Her eyes were out of focus. This problem has always been the most confusing for her. She is not reconciled. If she is married, she can still live so recklessly. ?There must be many rules and regulations. After a husband has a concubine, can he really coexist peacefully with those women who are competing for favor?However, after a few years, Qingli will also get married. At that time, she will only have herself, alone.

"Of course not. We women will definitely have our own world. Sister Xiaoyu, the business of our cloth village is better than that of the Yun family. Even shopkeeper Yun is full of praise for you, saying that you are a hero among women."

Qingli gave Shen Bingyu a thumbs up and praised a few words. If Yelu Churen hadn't said that sentence today, she wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with Miss Xiaoyu not marrying. The question, however, is there really such a dedicated and affectionate person in this era?She was a little skeptical about this, and a paralyzed face immediately appeared in her mind, well, maybe the devil Chunyu, who can't approach women and has a strange disease, can do it for the time being.

This topic was a bit heavy, and the two of them didn't continue, but Qing Li was interested, but it was useless for her to pay attention, she had to nod her sister Xiao Yu, otherwise it would be good for her and her elder brother to be her sister-in-law.She doesn't worry about her eldest brother having any concubines, her grandparents and parents have educated her long ago, and she was originally from a peasant family, so she doesn't like so many moths, and forgetting her roots when she is rich is the worst thing.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of Buzhuang on North Street.Qingli and Shen Bingyu got out of the carriage and walked from the side door to the side hall of the back hall. A middle-aged man who looked about 40 years old had been waiting for a long time. Clasping fists together, "Miss, I am the captain of this caravan. You can call me Lao Lu."

"Uncle Lu, please sit down, you are welcome."

This Uncle Lu has two brushes. He used to be on the battlefield. Later, he changed his career and became an escort. He has traveled all over the world for many years. He has rich experience in terrain and terrain. He has also bet on grain and grass. Shen Bingyu found him through the road. , very reliable, and has dozens of brothers under his command.

"Miss Mo, Miss Shen, when should we leave?"

Uncle Lu was not polite when he heard that, he sat on the sofa, took out a sketch of the route from his arms, and revised the drawing drawn by Qingli and Shen Bingyu.One of the official roads has become a mountain path.

"But Uncle Lu, there are rumors that there are bandits haunting this road. Although they will not kill you, they will rob the goods. You also know that our goods this time are very important. Just in case..."

Shen Bingyu frowned slightly, she was hesitant, if she could take this path, at least two days could be saved, and she could even rush to Muyang City in the south before the fourth uncle, and relieve the pressure earlier, but This bet, if there is an accident, the loss will be huge. For the sake of safety, she dare not take the risk.

"Miss Shen, the reason why Lu chose this path is because the bandits in that area were actually good brothers who once went to the battlefield together."

Uncle Lu sighed, and said, "You also know that he only robbed wealth and didn't kill people, and he often helped poor people. There was no way he chose this line of work at the beginning."

Uncle Lu narrated an old incident more than ten years ago. At that time, Daqin and Dazhou had constant conflicts. They used to be General Chunyu's subordinates and had been fighting at the border. At that time, a more powerful military general fell in love with him, so he used his power to send their brothers to Daqin to inquire about information, and they escaped death. After returning, the bandit leader's wife was raped by a powerful military general, and even threatened her. If you don't obey, you will find a way to kill her husband.The lady endured humiliation for the bandit leader, and later slaughtered the general.His wife felt ashamed of her uncleanness and wiped her neck.Because he killed the general and was chased by the court, he was disheartened. He took some good brothers at that time and went to occupy the mountain and become king, but he never hurt the poor people.
