Chapter 175
Yin Ziniu has always been a lively, clever and quirky girl. In the past, she had heard Yin Zijin say some shocking and "treasonous" words many times.
When Yin Zijin expressed his opinion again, Yin Ziniu responded almost instantly: "Zijin, I completely agree with everything you said! Really, I really hate those red tapes and rules, they simply make life worse than death!
Do you know that every day I feel like a bird trapped in a cage, locked tightly in that small attic. That feeling is really terrible! ”
The more Yin Ziniu spoke, the more excited she became. Her big, lively eyes sparkled with a desire for freedom as she continued to express her deepest desires: "I really want to break free of all these constraints and go see the outside world freely. I don't want to be imprisoned in this deep house, unable to go anywhere and see nothing new.
It’s just that I have no way, and I don’t know how to break free from these constraints…”
As they talked, they unknowingly walked out of the bed side by side. At this moment, Yin Ziniu had already thrown away her previous shyness and embarrassment, and replaced it with a graceful and confident attitude.
She looked directly at everyone around her without any hesitation, and her gaze especially stayed on A Tian for a moment.
Then, Yin Ziniu gently patted Yin Zijin's delicate little hand, and said in a coquettish tone: "Zijin, actually I was thinking about reading and playing the piano with you, but unfortunately my body is too weak, and I feel limp all over.
At this moment, I just want to go back to bed, snuggle up comfortably, and drink a bowl of steaming soup or tea. ”
I'll go back first. I'll come to see you again in a couple of days when I'm almost well again. Or Zijin can come to see me. You're back, finally I'm not alone anymore, finally there's someone I can talk to. ”
Yin Zijin had also had her period, and knew how difficult it was for a woman to have her period, so she quickly said, "Niao Niao, go back and rest! You still have to pay your respects to your mother later."
Yin Ziniu nodded, then held Xiaomei's arm and walked out of the house. Yin Zijin saw Yin Ziniu leave, then she leaned back on the couch and picked up the "Female Rings" prepared by Nanny Zhou and started reading...
Not long after, Nanny Zhou came in with a few soft persimmons and hung them on the beam with a rope. She laid a thick mat under the persimmons to prevent the juice of the soft persimmons from staining the carpet.
Madam Zhou instructed: "Sixth Miss, come here! Let's complete the task assigned by Madam! Today is the first time for Miss to pay respects to Madam in eight years, and she will meet many people in a while.
This person chats for a few words, that person chats for a few words, and the morning is gone. I still have a lot of homework to do in the afternoon.
Madam said the girl’s body is not in good condition, so we have to spend a lot of time taking good care of her at night. There is no time either. ”
Yin Zijin was supported by A Tian and knelt on the thick cushion. She still asked unwillingly: "Mammy, it's big enough, isn't it okay?"
Nanny Zhou smiled and used a thick cloth to lock Yin Zijin's hands behind her back, and said with an ambiguous smile: "It's still not enough, although flat chests are popular in the Great Sheng Dynasty, and dignified and generous women are praised more.
But from a man's perspective, man! I like women who appear to be dignified, steady and housekeeping, but are actually promiscuous at heart.
Girl, you will be a concubine in the future and you will not be required to manage household affairs. Your main task is to serve your husband well with your beauty and body. Be your husband’s confidant, considerate, gentle and caring. Use your body to relax your husband when necessary.
In this way, you will be useful, and your husband will come to your room more often.
You will be pregnant soon. Even if there are new people entering the house in the future, you will have someone to rely on if you have a child. I will be worried for the rest of my life.
oh! That's right. I have to remind the girl that the royal family has the rule of burying people alive with the dead. The emperor's sons, royal relatives, and concubines who had no children were buried alive with him. Even if you were of noble birth, it would be useless unless you were the legal wife, because the children of a concubine were the children of the legal wife. Only when you have children can you enjoy happiness with them.
Even among the Four Surnames and Seven Families, many ministers' families were like this. Concubines in the harem who have no children must be buried alive. ”
Yin Zijin finally reacted and said quickly: "No wonder the women in the mansion are trying hard to have children."
Nanny Zhou thought to herself: "You just realized it. Think about your biological mother, Li. Madam had warned Li before she entered the mansion that she must not get pregnant. Her purpose was to wait for the master to die so that she could give birth to him.
She loved the master so much that she must have wanted to die with him, but that bitch still found a way to take advantage of the loopholes and finally got her pregnant.
When she was being affectionate with the master, she must have used the master's identity as a stepping stone to leave the brothel. Getting pregnant ensures you will have wealth and prosperity for the rest of your life. ”
Madam Zhou replied: "Young lady knows this! So after you marry the prince, you must work hard to get pregnant with his child, otherwise you will be buried alive in the future.
Even in ordinary families, women are forced to remain chaste for the sake of the chastity arch given by the government, and many of them commit suicide.
Even officials used the number of chastity arches to prove their political achievements. During this period, countless women were forced to become widows or even starved to death. This is a virtue, and it is praised and admired by everyone in the Great Sheng Dynasty..."
Yin Zijin was so angry that his face turned red. His eyes were wide open, and he no longer cared about etiquette and reserve. He shouted without thinking, "Using women's blood to achieve the so-called lofty virtues, using women's lives to achieve the so-called great achievements and brilliant political achievements of those officials, is this really right?
Why! Why should women endure such injustice and suffering! Since ancient times, the sun and the moon shine together, the heaven and earth are yin and yang, and they are all equal, as are men and women. Why should women be suppressed to fulfill so-called virtues? "At the end, his voice was trembling slightly, and tears of anger and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Madam Zhou narrowed her eyes and said with a bad face: "Sixth Miss, what did you say? Say it again? Where on earth do you learn these rebellious words every day? Ah Tian, go get the whip. Sixth Miss doesn't want to learn a lesson, right?
Where have you learned all those "Female Rules" and "Female Rules"? ”
Yin Zijin stared at Madam Zhou coldly and said word by word: "I am a man, I am a man, not a woman. I sympathize with them."
