Chapter 66 Strive for
Yin Zijin nodded, and Nanny Zhou quickly and simply washed Yin Zijin's face, and helped her put on a silver-white plain-sleeved jacket on top and a pink gold-thread apricot flower skirt on the bottom. She styled her hair into a simple lazy bun, with her hair gathered on one side into a bun. Her hair naturally spiraled down, and her thin bangs managed to hide a hint of sickness on Yin Zijin's face.
But the tired eyes, the red marks at the corners of the eyes, the pale cheeks and the pale lips showed that Yin Zijin was seriously ill. Nanny Zhou applied some lip balm on Yin Zijin and put an exquisite white jade hairpin on her head. He picked up Yin Zijin from the bed and walked out.
As Madam Zhou walked out, she said, "Miss, you look too pale. Put on some lip balm to improve your complexion. When you leave your boudoir, you should pay attention to your appearance. Since you are sick, you should not wear the armor. Wait until you are better before wearing it! Otherwise, you will be unable to move and get hurt."
Yin Zijin nodded without saying anything. At the moment, he was thinking about what to do next. Not long after, Yin Zijin and his group passed through the small red door and stood at Zhang's door.
Yin Zijin hurriedly said, "Madame Zhou, put me down. Let Ruhe help me in! It's not proper to go in like this."
Madam Zhou was very satisfied with Yin Zijin's understanding. She gently put Yin Zijin on the ground and said, "Ruhe, come and help the girl. The girl was seriously injured and her feet were bound. She must be extra careful when walking."
Yin Zijin nodded, held Ruhe's arm, endured the severe pain in his feet and the torture in his body, frowned, and moved carefully into the house.
At this moment, Zhang and Yin Jingyi were already sitting on the low couch in the inner room, sipping tea. Seeing Yin Zijin coming, Yin Jingyi quickly stood up and walked over, wanting to help Yin Zijin sit down: "Zijin is weak and seriously injured. Why did Madam Qi specifically ask you to come in person? My mother and I can just go to Bizhuxuan."
After walking a few steps forward, Yin Jingyi realized that something was wrong with Yin Zijin. She walked extremely slowly and her walking posture was wrong. After a closer look, he saw that Yin Zijin had bound feet.
Yin Jingyi knew that Yin Zijin was a man, and this plan was just to get out of the current predicament. Seeing that Yin Zijin had bound feet, Yin Jingyi was very angry and asked: "Mother, how could Zijin..."
Before she finished speaking, Yin Zijin knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Mother, Zijin will speak out now. Zijin is a man, mother knows it, and brother also knows it.
Zijin understood that the Yin family would not restore Zijin's male identity for the sake of their reputation. Zijin had only two choices: one was to live as a woman, and the other was to die and keep the secret forever. But Zijin begged her mother to pity her for the sake of her raising her for five years. ”
After hearing what Yin Zijin said, Zhang took a sip of warm tea, sneered and said, "Oh? Sixth Miss, do you want to break up with me?"
Yin Zijin quickly replied: "No, I dare not. But I have a request, and I hope my mother will agree. I want to study medicine with my uncle, and study medicine openly. I hope my mother will agree. If my mother does not agree, I will fight to the death and will not worry about anything.
Or let Zijin fake his death and leave the house. From now on, Zijin will no longer be a descendant of the Yin family and will naturally not threaten his brother or hinder his brother in everything. ”
When Zhang heard what Yin Zijin said, she said angrily: "Yin Zijin, you are the sixth lady of my Yin Mansion, and you will always be the sixth lady of the Yin Mansion. Even if you die, I want to watch you being buried with my own eyes. How could I let you fake your death?
You are threatening me with this matter. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you right now? ”
Yin Zijin quickly replied: "Zijin has suffered enough in the past five years. In the future, Zijin will bind her feet properly and listen to mother. I only ask for your permission. Zijin only wants to study medicine openly. This is Zijin's only hobby. Please allow me."
Yin Jingyi, who was standing by, also knelt down and begged, "Please mother, please agree to Zijin! He can't live without the Yin Mansion. He is a man, so let him study medicine with his uncle! Zijin can't hinder me, nor can he hinder the Yin family.
If it really is a fight to the death, and this matter gets out, it will be bad for my father and my official reputation. If the censor impeaches the Yin family for not managing the family properly and such a scandal occurs, my father will definitely be demoted, and my official career will be aborted before it even begins.
Although our Yin family is one of the four surnames, if this matter spreads, everyone will discuss: Yin’s legitimate wife Zhang was jealous of my favor, so she raised her son as a daughter. At that time, how can our Yin family gain a foothold among the four surnames and in front of the people of the world?
Please think twice, mother, and just agree to Zijin's request! If mother doesn't agree, Zi Jin doesn't need to spread the news, I will spread the news myself. It's time to clean up this filthy inner house. ”
Hearing what Yin Jingyi said, Zhang was furious. She slammed the table, stood up, pointed at the two people kneeling on the ground and shouted: "Okay! Yin Zijin. You called Yier here because of this. You clearly know that women cannot study medicine, but you still did this and asked Yier to sit in. You are really trying to make trouble for me, right!
With Yier here, what should I do to you? You are so presumptuous. ”
Yin Zijin kowtowed and said, "Please grant my permission, mother."
Yin Jingyi also begged: "Please allow me, mother."
Zhang said with some disappointment: "Yier, you are too kind..."
Yin Jingyi said: "Mother, I only hope to have a clear conscience. Zijin, our relatives, should not be so indifferent. I only hope that mother will not make the same mistake again and accumulate some blessings!"
Mother, you know that Yier used to admire you. Since Yier found out about this, you know how sad Yier is..."
Zhang waved her hands and said, "Forget it, forget it! Yin Zijin, I promise you. But remember, you can't use my identity as the daughter of the Yin family to study medicine, treat diseases, and save lives in the future.
And I want you to swear that from now on until you die, you can only wear women's clothes, you cannot touch anything related to men, you cannot take the imperial examination, you cannot become an official, you must live as a girl forever, and accept foot binding and breast augmentation. ”
As she spoke, Zhang seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added: "You can't fake your death, you can't run away with a man, you must abide by the rules of being a woman, and you can't have an affair without a matchmaker. I still remember that incident on the street, that man in black...
Although you are a man, I want you to live like a girl all your life. If you break your oath, you will be childless for the rest of your life. The people who love you will die because of you, and the people you love will also die because of you. Do you dare to swear? As long as you dare to swear, I will grant your request. ”
