Tan Aoshuang Episode 1 (Part 1)

April is the season of abundant fruit harvest. Fujian sent fresh fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, and loquats. However, because the distance is far away and transportation is difficult, and Yuxi and Yunqing are not carnivorous people, the amount is not much.

Originally, there were not many of them, and some of these fruits had to be rewarded, and there were not many left in the palace.

Looking at the mangoes, pineapples, etc., but not loquats, Shumeng asked the boy who delivered the things: "I heard that a batch of loquats has been sent as a tribute?"

The mother-in-law said with a smile: "The eldest princess likes to eat loquats the most, so the empress ordered the servants to send all the loquats to Zhanghua Palace."

Shumeng's face darkened.

The mother-in-law smiled a few words, and quickly retreated. But after going back, she reported the matter to Mother Qu.

Tan Aoshuang saw that Shumeng brought in the chopped pineapple, and asked in surprise, "Why are there no loquats?" Tan Aoshuang liked loquats very much. When she was in Tan's house, she ate them every day when they were ripe. However, eating a small bowl every day will not eat a lot.

Shumeng said: "Crown princess, all the loquat empresses who paid tribute have been given to the eldest princess."

Tan Aoshuang didn't care, and said: "The elder sister is pregnant, it's normal for the queen to think about her first."

Shumeng said very displeased: "Crown princess, loquat is a trivial matter. But about the eldest princess, I have never seen a married girl go back to her mother's house to wait for delivery. This is too unruly. He also said that the empress respects the rules. , It's all nonsense." When she said this, she lowered her voice.

Tan Aoshuang also felt in her heart that Yuxi did things a little as she wanted, and she didn't follow the rules as the outside world. However, it's one thing to think in my heart, but it's another thing to say it: "Forget it this time, next time I'll tell you that I'll send you back to the Tan family." To avoid staying in the palace and causing trouble for her by speaking out loud

Shumeng hurriedly lowered his head and dared not say any more.

After dinner that day, Yu Xi said to Tan Aoshuang: "Come with 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 imperial garden in April is so beautiful. But Tan Aoshuang, at this moment, is not in the mood to appreciate it at all. Coming out of Kunning Palace and walking all the way here, Yuxi didn't say a word. It made her feel uneasy.

When he came to the huge osmanthus tree, Yu Xi stopped and asked indifferently: "I heard that I gave all the loquats to Zao Zao and didn't send them to Fuqing Palace. You are very dissatisfied."

Tan Aoshuang's complexion changed drastically.

Without waiting for her to explain, Yuxi said: "I know you are not such a stingy person." If Tan Aoshuang is so narrow-minded, she would not like it.

Tan Aoshuang felt a little relieved, but soon Yu Xi's words made her feel relieved again.

Yuxi said lightly: "However, I know that you have some complaints about Zaozao entering the palace to wait for delivery. You even feel that it is against the rules for the whole family to eat together." All these Yuxi saw in her eyes, but she never explain. She just wanted to see when Tan Aoshuang would raise an objection with her. It's a pity that I haven't waited for so long. I have to say that Tan Aoshuang's endurance is pretty good. In other words, Tan Tuo taught very successfully.

"Daughter-in-law didn't..." But facing Shang Yuxi's insightful eyes, Tan Aoshuang couldn't utter the words of rebuttal.

Yuxi said: "You are familiar with the Fourth Nvshu, do you agree with what is written in the Fourth Nvshu?"

Tan Aoshuang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yuxi's gourd, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "The Four Books for Women were handed down the year before last, so there are some merits in it."

Yuxi smiled and said: "The seven chapters of "The Precepts for Women" are low and weak, husband and wife, respect and prudence, women's behavior, concentration, Qu Cong and uncles and sisters. What the humble and weak say is that women are not born to be compared with men; A woman regards her husband as her god, and she needs to serve her with respect and prudence..."

Tan Aoshuang didn't expect that Yuxi was also familiar with women's rings.

Yuxi said: "Concentrate, emphasizing that a virgin should not marry a second husband, while a man can remarry after his wife dies, and a woman must not remarry after her husband dies. In Ban Zhao's mind, it is unnatural and paradoxical for a woman to go down to court. If it is according to her It is said that those women who died and remarried are unforgivable.

If this is the case, after the war, those widows whose husbands died can only guard the memorial tablets, even if they cannot survive with their children and starve to death, they cannot remarry. The adult man and the soldiers who were disarmed and returned to the field could only die alone if they could not marry the eldest daughter of the Huang family. "

The previous dynasty would select some women whose husbands did not remarry after death as an example, and give them chastity archways. This thing has been canceled by Yuxi.

Tan Aoshuang was stunned when she heard that, she felt that what Yu Xi said was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute it. After regaining her senses, Tan Aoshuang lowered her head and repeated what she said just now: "Mother, there are some merits in the fact that the female ring can be passed on for thousands of years."

"Well, you're right. There are merits. However, it's more dross." The female ring, or the Four Books for Women to be precise, is the shackles men use to enslave women. However, Yuxi did not continue this topic with Tan Aoshuang, but chatted about the marriage of the triplets. What Yu Xi meant was to let her help with the management.

As the elder sister-in-law, this is also the responsibility she should fulfill, and Tan Aoshuang readily agreed.

Back at Fuqing Palace, Tan Aoshuang sat on a chair and stayed. It has to be said that what Yuxi said today had a great impact on her.

When Qihao came back, he saw Tan Aoshuang frowning, looking very conflicted.

Sitting next to Tan Aoshuang, Qi Hao asked with a smile: "The frown is so frown that you can kill a fly. What's wrong?"

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

Qihao said: "After the father and mother pacified the world, the population is only 30% of what it was before the war. Among these people, widows account for a quarter. If we follow the rules on women's precepts and widows cannot remarry, then the population will be 20 years later. I’m afraid that the 20% before the Lian Zhan Rebellion didn’t exist.” This is why the imperial court encouraged widows to remarry.

It's normal for Tan Aoshuang to not understand these things. But as long as she is willing to learn and make some changes, Qihao thinks it's all right.

"So that's how it is." Tan Tuo would report the mansion to Tan Aoshuang, and would also help her out. But Tan Tuo recognized the view that men are superior to women, so naturally he would not guide her in this regard.

Qi Hao smiled and said: "Mother must have meant something when she told you these things, you should learn from her." As long as his wife can have half of her mother's wisdom and open-mindedness, he will be satisfied.

Two days later, Yuxi took Tan Aoshuang out.

Tan Aoshuang felt uneasy, got into the carriage and asked, "Mother, where are we going?"

"Take you to see what kind of life folk women live." Let her know the living environment of folk women, and perhaps change her inherent thinking.

Yuxi took Tan Aoshuang to an alley first, and Tan Aoshuang was wondering when she suddenly heard pleading from a distance.

Turning the corner, Tan Aoshuang saw a sloppy man beating a woman. The woman was beaten until her nose was bruised, 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 Shuang'er away, you will die."

The man kicked the woman to the ground, saw the woman got up and hugged his leg again, and cursed angrily: "If you dare to block my way again, I will throw that money-losing item into the moat."

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

Tan Aoshuang couldn't bear it, she walked over and took a twisted gold bracelet from her hand to the woman: "The child's condition cannot be delayed, so I quickly take the child to the hospital to get medicine." down. Only the table was covered by a sleeve, so it was not taken down.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the gold bracelet and kowtowed three times firmly to Tan Aoshuang: "Thank you for your great kindness." Think it's a girl.

After finishing speaking, the woman got up and went home, and went to the hospital with the child on her back.

Yuxi returned to the carriage and leaned on the pillow and said: "This woman's surname is Yao, and her husband eats, drinks, whoring and gambling. The Shuang'er mentioned just now is her fourth child, and she is only four years old this year."

Tan Aoshuang was stunned: "There are so many children and the man is still like this, how can the children live?"

Yuxi smiled, and there was no trace of warmth in that smile: "The first three children were all sold by that man. The eldest and second child were sold to a building by him, and the third child was a son who was sold to a rich family I went. The money from the sale was gambled by that man."

Tan Aoshuang's eyes widened.

Yuxi asked: "If it were you, the man sold his child and sold his daughter to the building, what would you do?"

Tan Aoshuang has never thought about this issue, but children are the darlings of mothers, and she will definitely do her best to protect her children: "I will definitely work hard with him to protect the children."

There was a flash of relief in Yuxi's eyes, and she said: "But this woman knew that her husband sold the child to the building, and did nothing but cry for her and the child's life. 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 a building." For the child, it was a relief to die like this.

Tan Aoshuang's complexion was a little pale, and after a while she couldn't help it: "Mother, why don't we help them?" In fact, what she wanted to talk about was why Yuxi didn't help her.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Help? How can I help? In her heart, the husband is God, she can only obey and not resist." It is said that a mother is strong, and a child born in October is not even dared to be sold to a dirty place. resist. Yuxi 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."

Yu Xi hummed, and said: "But there are thousands of children with such a fate in the world, you can save one but you can't save all of them."

Tan Aoshuang was very smart, and immediately understood Yuxi's meaning: "What do you mean, Queen Mother, that girl was poisoned by the Four Books for Women just now?" But she didn't think it had much to do with the female ring. It is entirely because this woman is too weak that she has fallen into such a miserable situation.

Yu Xi didn't speak, but said: "You have to think about this matter yourself."
