Chapter 21: Moving into the New Home
Nanny Zhou said to Yin Zijin who was sitting next to her: "Zijin, you can't act like this anymore. You are a girl and a daughter of the Yin family. You can't go crazy for a man you've never met.
Be reserved and gentle, this is how a girl should be. If my wife knew what happened today, who knows how she would punish you.
Sixth girl, seventh girl, you must remember that a girl's reputation is the most important. Before you get married, you cannot meet men outside your family, let alone stay in the same room with men outside your family.
People’s hearts are unpredictable. If you are taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, your life will be ruined. You will never be able to enter the mansion of a noble family, or the royal palace. She can only marry a playboy, a drunkard, a sex addict or a gambler, and live a lonely life. If you lose your reputation, your family won't protect you. ”
Yin Ziniu was only five years old after all. After hearing what Madam Zhou said, she was immediately frightened and said softly, "No, Madam Zhou, I will be careful in the future and will not stay with strange men."
Yin Fengyu also quickly said aggrievedly: "Madame Zhou, Zijin knows she was wrong. It was Zijin who was reckless today. Madame Zhou, please calm down."
Madam Zhou waved her hands and said, "Alright, alright! Just remember today's lesson."
Xiaolan had already bandaged Nanny Zhou by now. Nanny Zhou let down her dark skirt so that there was no trace of blood at all.
…
The carriage swayed and finally arrived at the location of the new mansion. Nanny Zhou hurriedly instructed Xiaolan to put on the veils of Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniu, and then let Xiaolan hold Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniu's hands and get out of the carriage.
Afterwards, Yin Jingyi and Nanny Zhou also got out of the carriage. Yin Jingyi immediately returned to his father.
Yin Xu asked: "Jingyi, what happened? I just heard a commotion in the carriage behind."
Yin Jingyi replied respectfully: "It's okay, father. It's just that Zijin and Ziniu were a little excited because it was their first time out of the house, so they made a fuss for a while, but now they are quiet."
Zhang, who was standing by, heard this and said quickly, "It's good that everything is fine. It's all my fault for not disciplining them well. Master, don't worry. I will discipline the Sixth and Seventh Misses well in the future."
Yin Xu waved his hand and said, "Forget it this time. This is the nature of children. Don't restrict them too much. When you go to Fu'an Temple to worship Buddha in the future, bring the Sixth and Seventh Girls with you! Let the children see the outside world, and don't restrict them in the small courtyard all day long."
Zhang quickly responded: "Yes, sir, I will remember it..."
At this moment, almost everyone gathered at the gate of the new Yin Mansion. Yin Fengyu looked at the building in front of him and was immediately stunned by its grandeur.
Yin Fengyu couldn't help but think: "It's worthy of being the residence of Princess Xianyang! It's really magnificent."
There were two large, solemn and majestic stone lions at the door, with red silk hanging on them. The words "Yin Mansion" were carved in gold on a black plaque. Two large vermilion pillars stood on the left and right sides of the entrance. The vermilion gate and the high threshold appeared in front of Yin Fengyu.
The high wall made of blue bricks is about 10 meters high, with festive red lanterns hanging on the high wall. The fully enclosed building made Yin Fengyu feel so depressed that she couldn't breathe.
Yin Fengyu felt that this fully enclosed building was like a cage that oppressed women. The high threshold was a hurdle that women with three-inch golden lotus feet could never cross.
In this prosperous dynasty with strict feudal ethics, how many young women were locked up in high-walled courtyards, fighting according to the rules set by men, and even losing their lives. Yin Zijin's biological mother, Li, as well as Aunt Feng, Aunt Wang and even Zhang were all victims of the shackles of feudal ethics.
Perhaps if they could leave the mansions and avoid the oppression of feudal ethics, they would be able to carve out a world of their own.
