After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

"It seems that this road is not going to work."

Xiao Ling sighed: "I'm not reconciled, I'm not like my mother, who worked hard for the whole family, but didn't get the understanding and respect from your husband-in-law; And it caused the husband's family to suppress and fear."

Seeing her so depressed and depressed, Baochai and Xinxin were also very sad.Compared with Baochai, Xin Xin felt more guilty.

Xin Xin said cautiously: "Not every family is like our Xin family. Don't talk about Baochai's parents, isn't it very affectionate? And Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang are also husband and wife."

Baochai curled her lips inwardly, but in order not to let Xiao Ling do anything, she also nodded along her face.

But Xiao Ling laughed with a "heh" and said word by word, "The husband sings the wife's suit? But I just don't want the husband to sing the wife's suit. Apart from being unable to enter the imperial examination, how can I be inferior to a man? What makes my husband and wife follow suit?"

Obviously, Xiao Ling's thoughts are more extreme than Xin Xin's.

Baochai didn't understand. She herself had suffered enough losses and hardships in her previous life, so she could not trust men and was unwilling to marry again.What stimulated Xiao Ling?

If you don’t understand, you don’t understand, but you still need to help.

"Why don't you go back and beg Da Furen to set up a female household?" She looked around and saw that Ying'er was leading a few maidservants far away, so she lowered her voice and said, "Did Da Furen misunderstand that you are right?" I... Cough! You can use this to soften the heart of the eldest lady and set up a female household for you."

The more she talked, the more she felt that it was feasible: "Your Majesty Yang has just arrived, and it's time to establish a good relationship with the squires. It shouldn't be difficult to handle it now."

Xiao Ling was silent for a moment, and said: "I didn't want to embarrass my mother too much. But now it seems that there is only this way."

The situations of the Xiao family and the Xue family are different, more complicated than that of the Xue family.Moreover, before Xue Duan found Master Yang, he had joined hands with his younger brother Xue Zhi to suppress and weaken that group of people.Not only did they take back all the money that those people embezzled from them by taking the opportunity of investigating the family affairs, but they also fired all those who worked in Xue's shop but filled their pockets.

Of course, after the big stick is finished, I have to give some sweet dates.Otherwise, it will be troublesome to rebound.

For those who work diligently, Xue Duan is also very generous.Not only were bonuses given to those people, but each family gave a shopkeeper.

In this way, with both grace and power, those tribesmen will be honest for at least a few years, and they dare not be monsters anymore.

At this time, Xue Duan set up a female household for Baochai, so naturally no clan elder dared to talk about it.So things went very well.

But the Xiao family is deeply rooted, and there are quite a few members of the nearby clan who have gained power. Even though Mrs. Xiao is the head of the family, sometimes she has to compromise.

Therefore, Xin Xin persuaded: "If it really doesn't work, you can marry someone with a weak personality." At least, it's easy to handle.

Xiao Ling laughed again, and said, "Don't worry, I already have an idea in my heart."

"What's the idea?" Baochai felt that she couldn't think of any good idea.

But this time, no matter what Baochai and Xinxin asked, Xiao Ling made up his mind and refused to say anything.

But they just died in the end, after all the dust settled.

After Xiao Ling returned home that day, he didn't go out for two months, but every few days, someone sent a letter to them, saying that he was fine, and told them not to worry.

How can you not worry about this?

But since Xiao Ling had someone send the letter, and she looked confident, they didn't dare to act rashly for fear of disrupting her plan.

But two months later, when the two saw Xiao Ling again, they regretted that they did not act rashly.

The three met again, still at Baochai's daughter's workshop.When Xiao Ling came, he wore a veiled hat on his face, and the long veil covered his chest, so that no one could get a glimpse of his face.

"I'm going to hurry up, let the two of you take the lead." Xiao Lingren's hearty voice came over before he came over.

Baochai and Xin Xin looked at each other, and they both saw a relieved smile on the other's face.

——From Xiao Ling's voice, it can be heard that she is fine now.It was a kind of goodness that finally broke the shackles and broke free from the cage.

It appears that things are really settled.

The two went up to greet them, and Baochai smiled and said, "As the saying goes, it's better to arrive sooner than later, the Phoenix Cake made by Master Lu has just been served."

Xiao Ling said happily: "Hey, today Master Lu cooks in person? Then I'm lucky."

"Yes, you are the happiest." Xin Xin and Baochai supported her from left to right, and teased, "Guest, please take a seat."

Xiao Ling smiled "puchi", holding one in each hand, the three walked to the stone table and sat down, Xiao Ling took off the veiled cap and put it on the small table beside him.

Baochai was sitting opposite her, she was startled at that moment, her expression changed.Staring blankly at her face for a while, she said in a trembling voice, "Sister Ling'er, your face...what's wrong with your face?"

Xin Xin was originally pouring tea for the three of them, but she was shocked when she heard this, and turned her head to look at it hastily.With just one glance, she almost dropped the teapot: "Ling'er, you..."

"Master, be careful!" Shi Hua hurriedly held the teapot to prevent the tea from spilling on Xin Xin.

Xin Hao's tea is not too hot, otherwise, the hands of planting flowers will burn off a layer of skin.

But at this moment, Xin Xin could no longer care about this maidservant who loves her sisters, she stared at Xiao Ling closely, with regret and heartache mixed in her eyes.

Qing Ning, who had been standing behind Xiao Ling, took a quick look at Baochai, hesitation flashed across her face, she was about to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Ling's eyes.She was full of fear, and bit her lips, but in the end she still couldn't bear to go against her daughter's wishes, so she simply lowered her head, not seeing what she saw.

Xiao Ling stretched out his hand to touch the scar about five fingers long on his face, and smiled indifferently: "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Why, I have a scar on my face, are you going to distance yourself from me?"

Baochai said angrily, "I'm dying of anxiety, you still have the heart to joke!"

Xiao Ling laughed: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

Xin Xin frowned, and looked at her with disapproval: "A woman's appearance is the most important thing, how can you not care?"

"Eh? De Rong said that he should be at the front?" Xiao Ling pretended to be surprised.

Xin Xin stared at her helplessly, and said with disdain: "What kind of virtues and merits are determined by those men. The so-called success is just obedience, so what is there to value?"

"Haha, you are indeed my good sister." Xiao Ling clapped her palms and smiled, "As you said, these are all decided by men. I am not going to marry, it's just a face, if it is ruined it will be ruined. Those who like me will still be close to me, and those who hate me will not change just because I am beautiful."

Xin Xin looked at her with a complicated face: "Just do what you want."

Baochai asked, "What's going on?"

"What else can I do?" Xiao Ling fiddled with the teacup carelessly, "It's just that the clan forces me to marry, and I don't want to. To show my determination, I just scratched my face with a hairpin."

She said it lightly, but the two people who listened could imagine what kind of desperate situation she was forced to be so cruel to herself at that time.

Xiao Ling looked around, feeling a little helpless: "You don't need this expression, I think it's pretty good now, no one will force me to marry again."

——Those clansmen said it was for the family's reputation, but it was more because she was of high status, she was the daughter of the first branch, and she was not bad, so she was just a good marriage partner.Now that her face is ruined, she has no such value.

After all, how could a family who could match up with the Xiao family want a disfigured mistress?

She has lost the most important value, and those clan members will naturally not oppose the eldest lady of the family for an insignificant person.

Therefore, for Xiao Ling, the ruin of this face really does more good than harm.

After Xiao Ling's explanation, Baochai and the others were relieved a lot, but they still blamed her for being too harsh on them.

"Have you never heard of that sentence?" Xiao Ling blinked and asked playfully.

"What?" Baochai was very cooperative.

Xiao Ling cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Women are not ruthless, their status is unstable."

Baochai was speechless for a moment.

Xin Xin covered her lips with a smile and pinched her: "You must have made up this."

Xiao Lingdao: Anyone who has read the two books will speak the words of a sage.When the sage himself said those words, weren't they all fabricated? "

Baochai laughed too, and beat her with a round fan: "Nonsense!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Xiao Ling straightened his expression, and said to the two, "Mother gave me a Zhuangzi, and let me fend for myself."

Baochai asked, "Is that the one full of begonias?"

"That's the one."

Baochai turned her bright eyes and said, "If you have connections in the capital, why not take advantage of these few months to get some good potted plants and transport them to the capital."

Xiao Ling's expression became serious: "Is there any problem with your source? Is it convenient to disclose it?"

Baochai smiled and shook her head.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling stopped asking questions.

Baochai said, "Although I can't say much, the news must be reliable."

She turned to Xin Xin again: "Sister Xin might as well make more exquisite and novel screens, maybe there will be a good market for them."

Both of them bowed their heads in thought.

After a while, Xiao Ling spoke first: "I do have connections. If Sister Xin has no other connections, I can lead you through. By the way, Baochai, your rouge has always been liked by distinguished guests. I don't know if you have thought about going to the capital city. Sell?"

Baochai hesitated and said: "Some time ago, two merchants from the capital bought a large amount of rouge from me. If I send the goods over there, I am afraid that the opportunity will be lost."

More importantly, the backers of those two merchants were unusual, and she didn't dare to confront them head-on.

Xiao Ling originally wanted to persuade her to rely on her own ability, but seeing that she seemed to have scruples, she didn't say much.

Xin Xin smiled and said: "The world in Daxia is so big that you can't go to the capital, can't you still go to Huguang, Liangjiang and other places. Why do you have to go to the capital?"

Xiao Ling echoed, "That makes sense."

After Xiao Ling's matter was resolved, the three of them finally let go of some concerns, and worked together to start working hard for their careers.

At the beginning, Xin Xin and Xiao Ling were more concerned about how to expand their business and how to expand their contacts.But Baochai is different.

Perhaps it was because he had suffered enough from women's humbleness in his previous life, Baochai especially hated women being bullied in this life.Just like she used the influence of the Xue family to recruit widows to be shopkeepers and female masters. Although there are reasons for these people to be better controlled, it might as well find a way out for them.

Therefore, although Baochai is also working hard to expand her influence, her purpose is to help more poor women.

What's more, she always felt that she didn't accumulate any great merits in her previous life, and the main purpose of asking her to do it all over again was definitely not to make up for the regrets of her previous life, but to have a big responsibility to fall on her.

Maybe it was this one, she thought.

Over the years, as her shops grew, more and more women were helped by her.Later, Xiao Ling and Xin Xin learned of her ambition and joined her.

Just like what Xiao Ling said: "I won't have any children in my whole life. Instead of being squandered by a son who is randomly adopted by the family after a hundred years, it's better to use them to do something real while I'm alive. Make me happy."

Relatively speaking, Xin Xin's thoughts are much more simple: "I just want women in this world to have the same courage to resist when they encounter unfair treatment."

Because these thoughts of Xin Xin fit the thoughts of those aunts in Lianhua Lane very well.Therefore, when encountering some difficult problems, the influence of the aunts will also come forward to help.

Gradually, many unwilling women saw role models in them, and finally the first imitators appeared.

Baochai felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to make women in the world less oppressed.

Therefore, she secretly mobilized the power in her hands to help the girl leave the family smoothly and help her gain a firm foothold.

The effect produced by this incident is not much different from that when King Yanzhao's daughter bought horse bones.Many girls who have suffered injustice or are unwilling to be trapped in the back house have ignited their fighting spirit and hope.

All of a sudden, "disobedient and unfilial" daughters appeared frequently in the south of the Yangtze River, and even went to heaven to listen.

At this time, the sage had already passed away, and the eldest prince was in power.

The reigning new sage favored the noble concubine Lou Shi, and when Lou Guifei was a teenager, she had suffered enough from being humble and weak.

——It was obviously not her fault that the two failed marriages.But just because she is a woman, all kinds of gossip and rumors are trying to drive her to death.If she hadn't put all her eggs in one basket and followed the sage, let alone the beauty of a noble concubine, she might still be worrying about her husband's failure.

Therefore, Concubine Lou Gui persuaded the saint: "The matter has come to this, why doesn't the saint push the boat along?"

Pushing the boat along the water, in which direction does the water go, and how should the boat be pushed?

In the land of the south of the Yangtze River, women's resistance has become a climate. If it is violently suppressed, it will inevitably rebound strongly in the future.Not to mention the potential crisis.

——After all, there are many beautiful people in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are far away from the capital.Whether it is from the selfish aspect or the political aspect, the saints have never been able to avoid Jiangnan women in the draft.

If the sage ordered someone to suppress it violently, in case anyone who was unwilling to get into the draft team...

In short, the consequences are unimaginable.

Of course, although this matter is possible, so far, it is only Concubine Lou who is making alarmist remarks.

But saints cherish their lives, and it is better to avoid dangers that can be avoided.

But this matter is of great importance, and it is still necessary to consult the opinions of the officials of the DPRK and China.

However, it is also very particular about whom to consult.

Like the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of the Household Department and the Prince Taifu.These officials all have a common feature: either they have no children and only daughters, or they have only one son, and the only son has no children.

It is in the interests of these officials to establish female households.And the saint's attitude was not much concealed, they naturally pushed the boat along the way and asked the saint to promulgate this virtuous policy.

Let's see, otherwise, how could someone be a high official?As soon as these words passed from their mouths, they changed from shocking the world to being a benevolent government.

After getting their support, the saints discussed the matter openly in the court.Because those officials got the news in advance and confirmed the location of the Sacred Heart, they contacted a group of classmates of the same year and some communities of interest.During the discussion at the Great Court Meeting, these manpower overwhelmed the crowd and won a comprehensive victory.

Therefore, the sage decreed that women who wanted to set up a female household were allowed to set up their own households.

In fact, because these things all happened in Jiangnan, even though the disturbance was quite big, it was all before his eyes.But the sage was familiar with the virtues of those officials, and knew that the reason why this matter came up to him so quickly was because it violated the interests of the officials in Jiangnan.

Moreover, the emperors of all dynasties have long been dissatisfied with the unspoken rule of "no remarried daughter within three generations" in the imperial examination.Because many women are widowed at a young age, but there are still many men who cannot marry wives, which is not conducive to population growth.

Therefore, apart from Concubine Lou Gui's persuasion, the reason why the sage agreed was also due to this consideration.

But in any case, this matter is developing in the direction Baochai wants.She never thought that things would go so smoothly, and she became even more convinced that this must be God's will.And what she did was just to obey the destiny.

She thought about it, and decided to spread this idea, maybe there would be unexpected results.

Sure enough, as she expected, these words spread quickly across the south of the Yangtze River after being disseminated by Baochai and a group of women.Many men didn't believe it at first, but thinking about how big the incident was last time, the saint was furious when he heard that, but he suddenly made an order to help those deviant women.

Therefore, some people speculated that the saint was entrusted with a dream by a god-man?Otherwise, why did you suddenly change your mind?

The reason why a rumor is a rumor is because it will be continuously improved during the process of spreading. In the end, even the person who first spread it will not be able to recognize that it is what he once said.

This was originally just an unwarranted guess, but it was passed on and it became a fact.When the rumor spread to the capital and reached the ears of the sage, the sage laughed dumbfounded, knowing that the matter was completely unclear.

That being the case, there is no explanation.Just to appease the public opinion.Anyway, he looked at it coldly, those women who set up female households recruited husbands and sons-in-law, and it didn't affect their children.

At this time, Baochai no longer needs to rely on the influence of the Xue family to do anything.

Because a terrible community of interests has gathered around her.Those women who have been rescued by her regard her as a god; those women who imitate her also respect her.

Even, some women secretly set up longevity tablets for her at home, burned incense and prayed every day, and let God bless her with a long life.

Perhaps these prayers really touched the heavens. Baochai lived to be 80 years old in this life, and died of no illness in good health.

After her death, her worship was also put on the bright side.

By this time, many women had gained their own power, and they publicly built temples for her and honored her titles.

Originally, the honorific title given to her was "Mrs. Shengshan", but some people raised objections, thinking that she had never married a husband in her life, nor had she ever been intimate with a man, obviously she did not like men to be close to her.That being the case, "Madame" No. [-] is inevitably suspected of being defiled.People in later generations who don't know it will inevitably misunderstand, but it is not beautiful.

Therefore, after discussion, a group of women decided on the title of "Shengshan Fairy", and raised funds to establish the Shengshan Fairy Temple.

As soon as the temple was established, the incense was very prosperous, and the local officials did not dare to ban it, so they had to let the people worship.

Many years later, the temples of Shengshan Fairy have spread all over the world, and many women pray to the Fairy, praying for a smooth career.Or there are poor women who have nowhere to go and pray for the blessing of Xiangu, so that they can earn a foothold for themselves.According to legend, there are many people who are efficacious, making Xiangu more believers, and it has survived for several dynasties.

More than a hundred years later, the world was in turmoil and rebels rose everywhere. A woman named Wu Mingshan claimed that when she stayed at the Fairy Temple, she got an oracle from the Fairy and ordered her to be king of the world.

During the ten-month period, countless businesswomen and squires flocked to support Wu Shan's army.

This rebel army will not only face the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court whose building is about to collapse, but also face the oppression of the rest of the rebel army.But every time the danger is saved, it is as if there is a god's help.

Ten years later, Wu Shan ruled the world, proclaimed himself emperor in the Dingdu of Luoyang, changed his name to Wu Shan, and founded the Great Jin Dynasty.

So far, Fairy Shengshan has finally become a righteous god canonized by the court.In the Jin Dynasty, its god position was continuously promoted, second only to the emperor of heaven.

**********

Small episode:

"Master, word has come from the Xin family that the old lady is dying soon." Shihua reported in a low voice.

Xin Xin raised her head from the ledger and asked, "Is it true this time?"

Shi Hua said: "Zhe Liu has already taken the doctor to see it, and this news was brought back by Zhe Liu."

It's not to blame for Xin Xin's indifference, since Mrs. Xin squandered the family property, Mrs. Xin has used her serious illness as an excuse several times to ask her daughter for money for the sake of her son.

Grandma Xin had already used money to force Uncle Xin to write a letter of divorce, leaving behind 100 taels of silver, and went to the capital to develop alone.Their mother and son could harm them, but Xin Xin was the only daughter left.

They didn't know that Master Xin had given Xin Xin a share of the family business alone, so Xin Xin naturally wouldn't tell them, so as not to fuel their greedy arrogance.Only when they really can't solve the problem, they give them some money, and warn the local ruffians and even the gambling houses in advance not to bring Uncle Xin to gamble.

Fortunately, those people did not dare to offend Xin Xin, otherwise, Uncle Xin's situation would be even worse.

Since Mrs. Xin pretended to be sick for the first time, Xin Xin proposed to take her over to live.But Mrs. Xin flatly refused after asking if she could not let her son live with him.

——She was afraid that if she left her son, her daughter would leave him alone.

Xin Xin saw through her mind at a glance, but she didn't point it out, she just let her go.

This time, hearing Shihua say that Mrs. Xin is really dying, Xinxin feels inexplicable, and she doesn't know whether it is more sad or more relieved.

"Come on, I'll go see her."

Mrs. Xin is skinny and skinny, and her teeth have long since fallen out.She spoke tremblingly and intermittently, she couldn't speak clearly, but she still wanted Xin Xin to take care of her son.

Xin Xin laughed at herself and finally nodded.

Mrs. Xin passed away with a smile on her face.

Xin Xin glanced at Uncle Xin who was crying so hard, sneered, and said: "From now on, I will give you ten taels of silver every month, so you can do it yourself."

As soon as this remark came out, Uncle Xin, who originally thought that once his mother died, he would no longer be cared about, lost most of his sadness, and responded submissively: "Hey, hey."

Seeing this, Xin Xin frowned, and said, "I will take care of my mother's funeral. Be honest. If you dare to make trouble like you did at your father's mourning hall..."

Before she finished speaking, Uncle Xin repeatedly promised: "No, no, no, sister, don't worry, I will definitely not!"

Xin Xin took a deep look at him: "That's the best."

She felt that she still had to find someone to watch over him.

It should be said that Xin Xin really had the foresight.Because on the day of restraint, Second Master Xin and Third Master Xin also came.

Firstly, Mrs. Xin is their aunt after all; secondly, Xin Xin, the younger sister, has not suppressed them in business all these years because of the grievances back then. My sister is also very convinced.Even if they don't look at Master Xin's face, they also look at Xin Xin's face.

Therefore, they not only came, but also brought funeral money.

This made Uncle Xin feel that he had been insulted. If Xin Xin hadn't sent someone to restrain him early in the morning, he would have made a fuss.

It was because of Xin Xin's face that Mr. Xin gave in first: "Brother, you and I were wrong about what happened back then. Now that we are all so old, we should each take a step back. At least, don't It makes my wife feel uneasy."

Second Master Xin also said, "We brothers haven't had a good conversation together these years. The master has a spirit in heaven, so he must not feel at ease. Brother, let's stop making trouble."

Although these words were the truth, when Uncle Xin heard them, he was really shocked.His lips trembled for a while, he looked at Xin Xin's face, and finally compromised.

Mrs. Xin's funeral was finally successfully completed, and Xin Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

All her life, her parents had a shallow relationship. Now that her parents are both gone, her last trace of concern is gone.From now on, she can concentrate on working with her sisters to benefit the women in this world.
