In Yan Guo, the status of women is extremely low, and most of them have no words. +++ Popular novels: EbookFREE.me
Only when a man arrives at the weak crown, will he be given a word by his elders or his teacher to show that he grows up (chengcheng). In the future, walking outside will be convenient for others to call him. Those who are not elders and (guanguan) relatives generally only call their words, not Call it by its name.
The title word also means respect among peers.
Miss Lin Si has a word, on the one hand because of Lin Lin's prestige, on the other hand also puts on Lin Lin's profound hope.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Fu has a very embarrassing problem after being rich for three generations.
Contemporary homeowner Lin Wei, Lin Lin-no children at the knee.
Mr. Lin has passed his destiny, and he has seven concubines, but he has no son. He had a first-born eldest son with Li's wife Li, but died younger than thirteen, and then gave birth to two daughters. He couldn’t grow up. Master Lin had to accept concubines again and again. He gave birth to several daughters. Later, Master Lin’s wife, Li, became pregnant again when Master Lin was thirty years old. A daughter, it is this girl who is out of the house, Lin is not envious.
Mr. Lin loves the husband and wife, so he gave her daughter the name, and hope that his wife can understand her thoughts.
In a blink of an eye, 20 years later, Master Lin passed the year of destiny, and his body was not as good as before. Since the previous year, he has gradually transferred the power of Lin Fu to Lin Buen's shoulders.
In the first year, Mr. Lin is the main one, and Lin is not envious.
The opposite is true in the second year.
Now in the third year, Master Lin hardly shows up, and all matters of the house do not need to be consulted, it all depends on Miss Four.
It's no wonder that Mr. Lin is poor in bones and can only blame Lin Fu's family for his great work and many things.
Let's just count a rough account. Every dark day, the shopkeepers of dozens of stores in Luocheng entered the government to report. Lin Buxian started from the moment, and began to receive the major shopkeepers at three hours, reporting, checking, cashing, accounting, and storage. ...
These dozens of people per capita can be busy with a day down.
Every March, June, and September, the entire Longdong, a total of seven provinces, more than forty prefectures, and the shopkeepers of more than two hundred shops successively brought books and bank notes into the house, even if Lin didn’t envy receiving 30 people every day , Also have to be busy for seven or eight days.
After September, starting from October, the rest of the shopkeepers from all over the world have successively come to the door, the number is about three or four times that of the whole Longdong. quiet.
Usually face all kinds of entertainment, manage the government, attend all parties banquet......
Counting it down, Lin doesn't envy the days when he can really be free all year round. Only the Shangyuan Festival in the 28th year of the twelfth lunar month is less than twenty days.
Mr. Lin is the second ancestor born with a golden spoon. When he was young, he was most fond of indulging in mountains and waters. Although he didn’t expect his son, he finally waited until the only daughter-in-law grew up (cheng), and he threw the stall without hesitation. On the grounds of recuperating (shen) body, he took his wife to travel around the world and could not return until the end of the year.
...
After a busy day, Lin Buen was so exhausted that he took a bath under the maid’s service, but returned to the room without going directly (sleeping Shui). Instead, he sat by the round table, picked the lamp and cut the candle, and picked up a book Read it.
The long hair that has not been penetrated is covered in the back of the head. The candlelight casts a long shadow of Miss Lin’s graceful posture, and spreads along the illuminating floor tiles all the way to the window bar, reflecting like a silhouette On the window.
Yan Guo does not set up women’s private schools, and men and women studying together are even more destructive. If a woman wants to study, she can only ask her husband to enter the house. The beam of the husband is very high, so most women only know a few words at all. .
These difficulties are not worth mentioning in Lin Mansion. Lin Buen didn’t envy since he was seven years old. He has been involved in painting, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy. He successively studied with several famous teachers, Hongru. In the family business for more than two years, the book I read most on weekdays is the ledger. Reading like this at night is a kind of leisure.
Although Miss Lin Si couldn't get into the official career, she had experienced ten years of hard study, and she was full of poems and poetry, and her gully (chest xiong) contained ravines, which made her decision more obvious.
Compared with the luxury of Lin Mansion, Miss Lin Si’s boudoir is minimalist. The furniture in the room is only a bed, a round table, a few crescent stools, a dressing table, and two cabinets.
A guqin is placed diagonally by the window, and an incense burner is placed next to the piano. A few columns of white smoke are slowly floating in the incense burner. The burning sleeping incense is burning, and two stand in front of the wall opposite the piano. The bookshelf is full of various books.
Only a very small part of Miss Lin Si’s collection was placed in the room, which was used as a pastime before (sleeping Shui).
A figure entered the East Yard from the Moon Gate. The person did not carry the lamp, but could quickly pass through the rockery and bamboo forest in the Yard. It seemed that he was very familiar with the terrain of the Yard.
As he approached the bedroom, he appeared in shape, and it was the first-class maidservant who served by Miss Lin Si in the daytime. You Yi and the maid standing at the door watching the night whispered a few words before entering the box.
Lin Buxian didn't raise his eyes when he heard the sound, and waited for the girl to walk away before moving away from the scroll.
"What's the matter?"
The mouth of Yiyi (chest xiong) fluctuated, and she thought she was in a hurry to go. She first folded her hands on her side for a blessing, before pulling out an envelope from her arms and handing it to Lin Buxian, Low voice: "Miss, there is a letter from Beijing!"
The heart of the candle swayed on the table, and Lin Buxian's swaying eyes also shimmered, but flickered.
Lin Buxian took the envelope and looked at it in the palm of his hand. There were six characters written in the middle of the envelope: Miss Lin Sifang Fang Qi.
The handwriting is neat and the writing power is vigorous, as if from a man's hand.
Stepping backwards from the instrument, Lin Buxian turned over the envelope and saw that the seal at the seal was intact before tearing it apart and took out the letter inside.
Miss Four Yajian, who is not close to Yi Yi, is almost ten days away. Since the writing of the pen, I have found a place in the capital. Fortunately, the fourth lady, Gao Yi, went smoothly.
In the past, the farewell meeting, the words of the fist of the Four Misses, I thought about it at night, and dared not forget it.
Today, Chun Wei is on the verge, although he can't release the roll, the beams of the cantilever beam have never been slack. However, the qualifications are blunt, and often sigh not fake.
Only by doing her utmost, struggling to get the first place, can you live up to the gracious grace and friendship of the young lady.
The heart is like an arrow, not knowing.
Praise the text.
Silly brother, Zhong Xiaoting.
In a few short lines, Lin Buxian looked at it twice, and a trace of a smile crossed his eyes, but he put the letter on the candlelight...
"Ah! Miss, how did you burn your aunt's letter?"
When the instrument brought the pot, Lin Buxian threw the burned invisible letter into the pot, watching the residual paper completely turned to ashes, and said lightly: "Hugh nonsense, I have no match with Zhong Gongzi Words, how come Auntie said?"
You Yi threw out her tongue and changed her mouth: "Mr. Zhong Gongzi is angry with Miss?"
"Never."
Puzzled by Yiyi, she asked: "How did the lady burn the letter?"
Lin Buxian lowered his eyes and pondered Xu Yu, the expression on his face did not change, and said, "I'm tired, turn off the lights (sleep Shui)."
"Yes." You Yi took the basin away and came back to serve Lin Wei's envy. He lay down, turned off the light, and retreated to the ear room.
Lying on (bed chuang), Lin Buxian recalled Zhong Xiaoting's coming, but the other party's appearance was a little vague.
Yan Guo attaches great importance to men's and women's defense. Women who have not left the cabinet have little chance of meeting private men alone. Even though Miss Lin Si, who is in charge of everybody's business, needs to be accompanied by a domestic servant in order to appear in public.
It was completely accidental to know Zhong Xiaoting.
Zhong Xiaoting and Lin Buxian are brothers and sisters of the same class. Lin Buxian’s second teacher: Mr. Du, who was once the teacher of Zhong Xiaoting, Mr. Du brought several articles of Zhong Xiaoting to Lin Fu. Lin does not envy reading.
Under the introduction of Mr. Du, the two met and discussed the knowledge across the bead curtain. Lin Buxian felt that Zhong Xiaoting was brilliant, and heard that his family was too poor to even get the expenses for the exam. Mr. Zhong Xiaoting funded.
Zhong Xiaoting lived up to expectations. He returned from a test in Qiu Wei and returned to Luocheng. Then he went to Linfu to thank him. Although Zhong Xiaoting was born in a humble beginning, his name was different. Lin didn’t envy that he had just taken over the family business. Lin The master made Lin Buxian come to entertain Zhong Xiaoting, that was the second time they met.
That year Lin Buxian was already 18 years old and had already passed the age of the married man. After the banquet, Lin Buxian's mother asked him sideways and sideways. Lin Buxian thought: As a woman, she is going to marry. The story has always been the words of the parents' matchmaker. Instead of marrying a stranger who has never met, it is better to marry Zhong Xiaoting, who knows the truth and knows the truth, and acquiesces.
Before Chun Wei, Mr. Lin personally feasted on Zhong Xiaoting, which was the preliminary decision of their marriage. Lin Buxian heard that Zhong Xiaoting agreed to his father and let their second son surname Lin, Cheng The incense of Qilin House only invites a matchmaker to come and hire when the exam returns.
Thinking that Lin's vast family business will not fall away, Lin is not envious of the truth of refusal. For this, she made an exception to give Zhong Xiaoting a ride, give him a coil, and wish him the title of the gold list.
Every month after that, Lin Buxian could receive a letter from Zhong Xiaoting, except for this one, she kept the previous letter.
As for why this letter burned? It’s because Lin Buxian felt that the wording of this letter was too intimate compared to other letters. After all, they didn’t get married, and they didn’t even make a relationship.
Zhong Xiaoting has been away from Luocheng for more than April. They have known each other for almost three years and met three sides in total, so that Zhong Xiaoting left only one silhouette in the heart of Miss Lin Si.
Lin Buxian withdrew his thoughts, pulled the quilt, and closed his eyes.
...
It was another (Yanyan) sunny day. On the straight official road outside Luocheng, a beggar with a disheveled hair and clothes in his clothes walked slowly from a distance.
What a beggar wears can no longer be called clothes. It seems to have been intentionally ripped into fabric, and it seems that the fabric is spoiled and formed naturally.
The beggar came alone, looking around from time to time, with words in his mouth, like a lunatic.
The only relatively complete possession of his whole body is the thick-soled soap boots on his feet, but the sole is almost flattened and the vamp is dirty, but it can only be inferred from the style of the boots. This pair of boots used to be expensive.
Let's take a closer look at the tattered clothes on the beggar's body. The cloth is also of the finest quality. Could this beggar be a deceased household? It's a pity to be a lunatic and I can't ask anything.
At this time, a beggar passed by a bullock cart. The carter was a man of crops. A young man (female nu) wearing a skirt was sitting on the car, wearing a hair accessory that was not out of the cabinet. coarse cloth.
The beggar turned his head suddenly, a pair of dark and dignified eyes staring at the young (female nu) on the scooter, and he still chanted words in his mouth, but his voice was too low to hear what was said.
"Audience friends, pay attention. This is the tenth woman in the street that I have met in three months. In this dynasty, it is very rare to meet women in public. It’s too feudal to be covered."
