Biquge www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update back to the latest chapter of the Ming Dynasty King!
After a few words of greeting, Ma Yicheng invited everyone to sit down, and Xiao Er brought up the ordered dishes. Ma Yicheng said to Yang Ling again: “Yang Xiucai, the old man asked a loud nephew, my son, my son, has a violent temper and often makes trouble for the old man. This time there is a big disaster, if not Yang Xian. My nephew Miao Ji and Master Min are kind, and the dog will have to take the human life lawsuit. “
Yang Ling busy said: “Where and where, that day my little nephew could see clearly, Brother Ma never actually dealt with that boss Wang, it was really greedy and hurtful. That boss Wang was greedy for Miss Ma’s pearl and was pulled by Brother Ma Theoretically, it is not the brother ’s fault that he is angry and anxious, but Master Ma must not be too harsh on Brother Ma. “
Ma Ang suddenly said: “Dad, my sister and I said you didn’t believe it. Should you believe Brother Yang’s words? I haven’t beaten that old man.”
“Shut up! Little animal, how can you intervene!” Ma Yicheng scolded his son and shook his head to Min County magistrate, Huang County Cheng and Yang Ling: “Look, see, this little animal’s generation is insufficient and failed There is nothing more than that, where is Yang Xie’s nephew, a few years younger than my son, but it is Shen Wenlianda, and he has already made a name before the weak crown. Alas, Humble Jing died early, and there are few women here. People are so disciplined that they are so ignorant. “
Min County Commander, Huang County Cheng and Yang Ling inevitably explained Ma Ang again. Here they were talking, and the second child over there sent the banquet running water. After a while, there were more and more people in the theater. There were some businessmen walking through the station around the room, and the remote places were the couriers, husbands and improper servants who ran idle to spend time. Yat-Sen.
The front stage was brightly lit, and as soon as the gongs and drums sounded, the actors invited by the theater sang on the stage. At that time, there was no Beijing opera. Yang Ling did n’t understand drama, and it was inconvenient to ask people. After listening to a few words, he could n’t understand too much. Plus, the dramas at that time were all men. Nothing happened, Yang Ling was very boring, but listened to Min County Order and Ma Yicheng, Huang County Cheng, they only saw a discussion and realized only a rough idea.
After listening to the story you told me in one sentence, Yang Ling only felt unbelievable. The scene was about a woman who was married to her husband shortly after her husband left home.
It took a few years for her husband to return to his hometown. When he came home, he met a very beautiful woman who was picking mulberry. He was moved by the beauty of the woman, and he stepped forward to tease him. After refuting a few words, feeling uninterested, he went home in disgrace.
Unexpectedly, when he went home, his wife was the woman whom he had not been able to tease. He felt very ashamed and sincerely admired her wife.
There is nothing wrong with the story here, but on the second day of the stage, the wife cried at home, wrote a suicide note, and even hanged herself to death. The letter said that her wife’s moral repair was not at home, so that it caused men. Wicked thoughts shame your chastity, so you can no longer live in the world, only one death to preserve chastity.
In the end, this incident caused a sensation in the village. All parties wrote a letter. The emperor issued a decree. This chaste woman was chased as a wife of death, and she was honored by the “Chastity Arch”. Her husband missed his wife. The couple also went to the grave to worship together.
This Hongyan Tower is a complex of Xiyuanzi and a restaurant, so it is not so compact when it comes to acting. After a break in the middle of the play, Min and Ma talked about it with interest, and Huang Xiancheng sipped his wine. Insert two sentences from time to time. Although he didn’t speak much, after all, he was a scholar, but he could always say what Min Xianling wanted to say but could not express.
Yang Ling felt that the play was too unreal. The most ridiculous thing he had heard was that a woman had fallen into the water in a certain direction. The passing man saw him and took his arm to rescue him. She returned. When he arrived at home, he even cut off his own arm with a kitchen knife, only because it was touched by a man who was not her husband.
But if it is also considered as “dishonor”, after all, it is physically disfigured. The woman in this drama can’t bear the spiritual “disfidelity”, and it is not considered disfigured, but she looks Beautiful, others looked at the color heart, the man was not guilty, but the wife felt that the woman’s virtue was not enough.
Listening to the orders from Min County Commander and Ma Yicheng, Yang Ling finally couldn’t help but say: “The two adults, this play is too exaggerated? Isn’t her husband seeing a beautiful woman? Misconduct, he was scolded and walked away. In the end, his wife felt that she was not chaste. Is this really justified? How can there be such a thing in the world? Such a funny thing, such an exaggerated and unrealistic play, what is so beautiful? “
Ma Yicheng said with surprise: “Why, Yang Xian’s nephew read a book of sages, but he didn’t even know the traces in the” Legend of the Married Woman “? What’s wrong with this? This woman’s so fierce, is really a model for women in the world, What’s so funny? “
Master Min also took a sip of wine with a smile, and said with a smile: “Yang Xiu Cai must read only those sage books that can be used to gain merit. I don’t know the story of” Legend of the Married Woman. “You are too kind-hearted, I also think It’s a pity for this woman. If I were the county officer there, I would definitely beat the husband forty boards and punish him for not concubine for life.
However, there is nothing wrong with this. During the Chenghua years, when I was a sea pirate in Fujian, I was a soldier at that time. There was a woman in southern Fujian. Her husband wanted to go with her husband after death. Playing the gongs and drums and preaching loudly, three days later, the woman held flowers in bright clothes, sat in a sedan chair, and went to her husband ’s grave, stepped on a stool to get to the pre-built color shed, and hanged herself to death. The purpose is to give the chastity arch to the whole country, hey, hey, that arch was still set up for her. “
Ma Yicheng nodded and said: “Exactly, ethical education, can it be sloppy, Yang Xian’s nephew is too kind to a woman. Speaking of such women are good women of the good family, if it is a happy woman, how could it be So fierce?
At first, Guan Panpan, a famous prostitute in Xuzhou, was accepted as concubine by the guard Zhang Zhang, and she died. Instead of martyring her husband, she moved back to her old residence, Yanzi Building, to live alone for ten years, deliberately winning a good name for the festival. It is really shameless.
Later, Jiangzhou Sima wrote a poem that broke her hypocrisy, and the woman died of a hunger strike for ten days, which was far from the woman in the play and the young woman in Minzhong. “
Yang Ling used to practice the wrong words in his past life, and put some notes on Linmo, so this Jiangzhou Sima knows who it is. But he didn’t know that Bai Juyi was so merciful to a charcoal old man, but he was so kind to a widow who was widowed. At that time, it was the Tang Dynasty, which was the most open-minded Chinese style. Women have been so poisoned.
Ma Lianer listened aloud and couldn’t help but snorted and said: “Ten years of spring change the tongue, three ugly old men change their eyebrows. If a beloved wife follows her husband, there is nothing wrong with it. However, since such a man regards the concubine as a merchandise that can be bought and sold at will, there is no sense in it, and there is a need to die in death, but the daughter feels a bit excessive. “
She read exactly the poems in Bai Juyi’s self-reported liu ya shi’s “Following Love”, saying that he bought some 15- or 16-year-old girls as concubines, and only played for three years, and they were only 18 or 9 years old. The suspect’s family was old and ugly, so some of them gave away some and sold them, and then bought a batch of fresh goods, and replaced three batches in ten years. Therefore, they wrote to show off to friends in the poem.
Ma Yicheng was greatly displeased, only to realize that her daughter was too disgraced to say this in public. A county magistrate, a county magistrate, and a meritorious scholar were present. His tutoring is not strict, so although he usually hurts this daughter the most, he still could n’t help but slapped her with a slap on the face, scolding: “What a word, what did you say? In order to commend the feudal women, to honor the widows, thirty widows, and fifty not to remarry, to show off the family servants, and to save the family servants, how glorious is that?
The fierce virginity of chastity was originally a part. It is often said that one horse is not worthy of two saddles, and one foot is difficult to step on two ships, so a woman does not serve two husbands, just as I wait for a minister to be a master. Although the virtue of a woman lies in gentleness, the main festival is famous for Zhen Lie, I have taught you what you forgot? “
Ma Er’er was always most favored by his father, so listening to the fact that they described women as men’s private possessions, they couldn’t help but refute the words, but his father slapped himself in front of an outsider. He covered his face and wept, and ran out as soon as he turned around.
Ma Ang didn’t dare to persuade his father to get angry, but he wanted to chase out and was afraid that his father would be angry. Ma Yicheng waved indignantly: “Let her go, we drink by ourselves, this child is really spoiled by me, and such words can be said.”
Yang Ling couldn’t help being dumbfounded. What was wrong with Ma Lin’er’s remarks and why Ma Yicheng was so angry that Min County Commander felt justified and did not dissuade him. Now he stood up and said: “Miss Ma must just pity Guan Panpan, She died of a hunger strike, and there was no one else in the world who died. Therefore, she felt sentimental for a while, and her uncle did not have to be angry.
If it ’s too late today, it ’s unreasonable for Miss Ma to go out alone, until the nephew persuades her to come back. ”
Although Ma Yicheng felt that her daughter was too embarrassed to talk, she fell in love with her father and daughter. Although her mouth was ruthless, she was really worried about her. Seeing his politeness, her face eased down and said, “This is so young. Nephew “.
Yang Ling, Master Min and Ma Yicheng don’t bow their hands, and hurried out. Ma Er’er was standing under the red lantern in front of the play garden, staring at the stars in a daze, Yang Ling’s heart widened, slowed down and slowly walked forward: “Miss Ma, go back, Ling Zun is just afraid of you. Fan’s words have been listened to, which affects your reputation. Don’t be too angry when you call the blame of love. “
Ma Er’er looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky and said softly, “What the **** are women in this world? Martyrs, martyrs, good women, can be praised, praised, women’s fierce, Explained the virtue of a woman, it also explained the greatness of a man, and showed that he deserves a woman to pay for him, but what did he do for a woman?
Treating a woman as a man ’s private property is not just a concubine, but also a wife. I listen to “Three Kingdoms” and Taoyuan Sanjieyi. The first thing is to kill all the wives and children. Do they have affection for their wives? Liu Bei took his wife as clothes, and Orion Liu An took his wife as a dish and killed the guests. Are these people or beasts?
Water doesn’t tire of cleanliness, women doesn’t hate cleanliness. do you know? My mother was forced to death by my father. At that time, he was still a soldier. The mother took my brother and me and lived very hard. Later, the robbers in the nearby mountains went down and looted. The mother hid my brother and me in the water tank. After escaping, the robber raped her, but she rarely sent out her kindness and did n’t kill her. As a result, she was not killed by the robber ’s knife, but was dazed by the father and by the villagers who saw the robber and the man who escaped. died. “
Yang Ling was silent for a long while, and sighed softly: “To save the heavens, to kill people, to starve to death is small, and to lose everything, the words of Zhu Xi and Zhu Fuzi may not be right, but this world belongs to men, then it is right.”, He remembered his own era and shook his head: “Not only is it right, but hundreds of years later, there are still many men who believe in it, but this kind of truth is designed for women.
Ma Lian sneered: “Zhu Xi? He opened the” Tianli “and closed the” Daoology “, but he tempted the two nuns to be the concubine and widow’s daughter-in-law. He was also used by him. It is really a moral model. Model. It ’s a great irony. “
Yang Ling only knew that the grand defense of ritual education was carried forward in the hands of Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty. Since then, women who have died in martyrdom have sprung up like mushrooms, and I do n’t know that Zhu Xi also has such “wind liu rhymes”.
He could n’t help laughing and said: “Since this world is a man, it ’s not surprising that the Taoism has different requirements for men and women. If a man is insulted with dignity, it ’s a lie and a burden, as long as he reports When he had a hatred, he would raise his eyebrows and exhale. No one would care how shameful he used to be. Even if he ate feces in a flattering manner, and a woman, even if she was forced out of touch, is an unforgivable sin! “.
Ma Er’er looked back suddenly, a pair of brighter eyes than the stars looked at him in surprise, and said in a while: “Man today, especially a scholar, can say this, you are the first one, I really can’t think of your age It ’s a pity, it ’s a pity to read such ‘sage books’ for so long, and have such insights.
Yang Ling couldn’t help but ask, “What a pity?”
Ma Er’er turned his head, and said quietly: “Huanjun Mingzhu’s tears, hate not to meet when not married”.
Yang Ling listened with a heartbeat, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became stiff, and he smiled for a long while. He used jokes to ease the atmosphere and said: “Although you and I are known to each other because of your pearl, but I can Do n’t give you a pearl, do n’t miss it. ”
Ma Lianer smiled, turned her head to stare at him charmingly, bit her lip, and blushed with courage and said, “That’s because you are not blessed,” looking at his tall nose under the shadow of the lamp , Ma Lianer jumped in his heart, and didn’t look too far, just felt a charming atmosphere spread between the two.
She gently wiped the cold tears on her face and said: “Others are kind to me, I will be kind to people. Since my mother died, my Ma Liner feels that there is no man in this world, it is worth our women to make so big. I ’m not going to be that stupid woman on the stage, I will live for my own sake and live a good life! “
Yang Ling was obsessed with the beauty of her self-confidence and arrogance. After a while, she gently sighed: “You were born too early, you should be born five hundred years late, really!”
Ma Lianer blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked strangely: “Do you think my words are outrageous and shocking? Is it okay to say so after five hundred years?”
Yang Ling was shocked and said in a hurry: “I just thought, maybe at that time, some men will regard women as independent existence, and ask them equally, huh, huh, just guessing and feeling It’s just a matter of course. “
Ma Lianer smiled slightly, leaned into his arms, took out the purse, stepped forward into Yang Ling’s hands, and said, “I can see that your little wife loves you very much. This pearl is regarded as my gift. Your gift, I only hope you treat your wife well, don’t treat her badly. “
The purse in her hand, still carrying her body temperature and the faint fragrance, Ma Lianer saw him stunned, smiled, and pulled her hair and said: “Go, let’s go back, I’m just sad, not angry, after all, it is It doesn’t make sense, the woman’s sadness, how many of you men understand? “She looked at the corner of her eyes, she had found Huang Xiancheng chased out, so she hurried back and walked in.
Yang Ling woke up in a little while and came back, only to see the county’s Huang Qiyin smiled meaningfully to himself, and made a gesture of please, he also smiled slightly, and he answered with his hands. The two did not say a word, but it looked like Very familiar.
