[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

"Of course I'm angry. Marriage is a good relationship between two surnames. The time is wrong. Didn't your grandmother offend the Gu family by doing this?"

"Then do you mean that you can take Miss Yuan as a concubine after you get married?"

"If your eldest brother still has no heirs after thirty." The Princess assumed it for granted.

"At that time, if grandma doesn't give you a concubine, will you still meddle in elder brother's housework?" Wang Shuo couldn't believe it.

"What do you mean by meddling, Shuo'er, believe me, as a mother, if I don't take action at that time, Mrs. Gu will feel guilty and do it herself. Everything will be arranged before I take action, and that is the best for her!" Princess Princess Dao, in the eyes of the princess, if Wang Shuo had developed unrealistic fantasies about men since she was a child, it would be harmful to her marriage in the future. Therefore, she must be taught how to be a wife from a small matter.

"But father, father and mother are the only ones like you?" Wang Shuo used to be most proud of this. Her father and mother are more enviable than the second uncle and third uncle's family.

"Your mother is a surname, and I have a title. It is natural to be honored." The princess smiled proudly, looking at Wang Shuo's face that suddenly darkened, and comforted: "Don't worry, when the time comes, mother will ask you a county princess." I guarantee that your husband's family will not look down on you in the future."

Wang Shuo glanced at the Princess Mistress expressionlessly. Could it be that in the future she will place the quality of her life on having children and her identity?

"Why, are you still worried? Don't worry, you will be raised under your mother's lap, and your mother will take good care of your body and send an experienced nanny to follow you out. When you get married in the future, your life will be smooth." The princess repeatedly promised.

Wang Shuo complied perfunctorily, and was not in the mood to say that her mother had a double-dealing style of saying one thing and doing another about Mrs. Wang, so her heart was filled with disappointment, so she took the opportunity to resign.

This is the princess of a country!This is the "strong woman" in Wang Shuo's heart, a strange woman with "political ambitions" who lives a chic life. Her thinking is no different from Mrs. Wang, and she is no different from women of any era.

At this time, Wang Shuo missed his master very much. Aunt Kong never married, and she never placed her value on marrying someone.Wang Shuo was extremely frustrated, and he put his head together and went back to his room.

Wang Shuo was depressed all afternoon, and at night he lay on the bed and baked pies, unable to fall asleep.

The spring equinox didn't look like it, walked in with the lamp in hand, and asked: "What's wrong with the girl, she was not very happy in the morning, did she get scared yesterday? If you don't want to tell the princess, let the doctor come and take a look."

"No, it's okay, you go to sleep."

"Miss, you are joking. You can't sleep. There is no reason for the servant to go to bed first. Why don't the servant accompany you to talk?" Chun Equinox put the candlestick on the table, hooked up the bed curtain, and poured hot tea for Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo held the tea in his hand and didn't drink it. He played with the teacup and wanted to talk to Chunfen about the issue of marrying and having children and the value of life.Chunfeng is her personal servant girl, Wang Shuo treats others kindly, and always treats Chunfen as a "personal assistant", but now even if the two of them are alone at night, Chunfen still has such a clear distinction between master and servant.Wang Shuo suddenly lost the interest to speak, and then thought that she was sent to her by the mistress of the princess, what did she say tonight, will it be passed to the mistress of the princess soon tomorrow?

Wang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to get out of bed.

"Girl, what's the matter? It's cool at night." Chunfeng didn't know why.

Wang Shuo handed her the teacup, walked to the window by himself, opened it, and stared at the sky full of stars in a daze.

It is said that the light of the stars must be transmitted to the human naked eye. There are tens of thousands of light years away. The starlight has never changed. People who will bathe in this starlight after a thousand years will also be bathed in this starlight. Is that what women think?

Wang Shuo didn't understand how the souls from other worlds quickly integrated into the whole world in the novels he had read.Is she too hypocritical?From her current point of view, even if she lives here for the rest of her life, she will not forget her past life.Sure enough, it was really an accident that she came to this world, no god would like such an unflexible soul.

Chunfeng saw that Wang Shuo's complexion was not good, so he didn't dare to persuade her. He just took a thick shawl and put it on her, and said softly, "Girl, it's too late, you should pay attention to your body."

Wang Shuo put on his shawl, and saw that the light in the opposite room was still on, and asked, "Who lives across the way?"

"It's His Royal Highness Princess Qinghe."

"Oh, sister Qinghe doesn't rest at this late hour, I'll go and see her." Wang Shuo tightened his shawl and was about to go out when Chun Equinox hurriedly stopped him and said, "Girl, it's so late... oh, oh, you Wait, at least add a cloak!"

Wang Shuo was about to pass her and leave before the vernal equinox finished speaking. Chunfeng hurriedly took off the cloak on the shelf and put it on Wang Shuo, "Okay, you stay in the room, just give me the candlestick... stay, this is an order .”

Wang Shuo ignored the vernal equinox, who was hesitating to speak, and walked slowly to the opposite room, holding the candlestick in one hand and blocking the wind with the other.The rooms of the two of them are facing each other, and in the middle is a small garden with many peach blossom trees planted. In this world, the peach blossoms are not yet blooming, and the fragrance enters the nostrils and fills the stomach with fragrance.

"Tut duk duk~" Wang Shuo knocked softly on the door.

There were rustling sounds in the room, and after a while, the voice of Hongmei, Princess Qinghe's close servant, came: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Wang Shuo."

There was another sound, and then I heard trot's footsteps. Hongmei opened the door and asked in surprise, "Miss Wang, why are you here? Come, come, please come in, please come in."

Wang Shuo saw that Hongmei didn't even put on any big clothes outside, so he knew he was bothering them, and said with a smile, "I can't sleep at night. I saw that the lights in Sister Qinghe's room were not turned off, so I wanted to come and see her."

"It's hard for Ms. Wang to think about it. Our princess is much better. It's just that I sleep too much during the day and get sleepy, so I can't sleep at night. Please come here."

Wang Shuo walked around the screen and saw that Qinghe was getting out of bed to put on his shoes. Wang Shuo hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sister Qinghe, don't be busy. I'm here to visit the sick, so I can't make you hard."

"It's too rude." Princess Qinghe brushed her hair back, and shrugged at the hem of her skirt, trying to be more dignified.

"Okay, Sister Qinghe, we are good sisters. It's a good story to talk about sleeping with candles at night. You really don't have to be busy. Look at me, I came here in disheveled clothes." Wang Shuo put down the candlestick and said Hongmei helped to untie the cloak, revealing the clothes and shawl inside, it really wasn't formal attire.

"Since you said so, let's go to bed." Princess Qinghe smiled heartily, kicked off her shoes and gave way inside.Wang Shuo smiled and sat in the seat she vacated, putting his feet under the blanket.

Hongmei brought over a kang table on the bed. There were three dried fruits and a pot of tea on it. Hongmei said: "Miss Wang, try it. This is jujube tea. Drinking it won't affect your sleep."

Princess Qinghe interrupted Hongmei's graciousness, and said: "Okay, let's go down, I'll talk to Sister Shuo, we agreed to talk at night by candlelight."

"Okay, I'll just stay here, Hongmei, go and tell the vernal equinox that I'm sleeping with my sister tonight." Wang Shuo waved Hongmei back unceremoniously, and took the hand of Princess Qinghe , Tell her what happened during the day today.

"I was rude, it's time to visit the master's house." Princess Qinghe said.

"I don't blame my sister, you are sick." Wang Shuo said while stroking Princess Qinghe's forehead, felt the normal temperature, and felt relieved.

"I can't sleep because there are too many people during the day, how about you? Why did you come here in the middle of the night?" Princess Qinghe asked with a smile, tucking her quilt.

Wang Shuo let out a long sigh, and had no choice but to repeat what the princess had said to her. No matter how good the relationship with Princess Qinghe was, it was inconvenient for her to talk about the scandal at home.

"Your mother is right, three obediences and four virtues, monarchs and ministers are normal, etiquette is bound by law, and the world is just." Princess Qinghe nodded in agreement with Princess Fuhui. Isn't this how women have lived for thousands of years?

"Is this how I will be in the future? I can guess what I will look like 50 years from now. Such a mediocre life, this...such..." Wang Shuo is like a cat that has stepped on its tail. Then what did she come to this world for?

"Then how do you want to live, vigorously? How can you be different?" Princess Qinghe asked curiously.

"There are so many famous women in history, as long as I want to be like them, right?"

"You want to enter the palace?" Princess Qinghe asked suddenly.

"What? Entering the palace? How is that possible! I don't have the ambition to become a concubine. If you want me to be a concubine, you might as well kill me. My mother won't let me disgrace the Wang family like this!" Wang Shuoyi A thankful and insensitive expression on his face.

"If a woman wants to leave a name in history, the easiest thing is to become a concubine, so that in the future, there will be three or five lines of your handwriting in history books." Princess Qinghe smiled: "Don't you want to be vigorous?"

"Why... I just..." Wang Shuo was at a loss for words for a moment, "Then there are female generals, female officials, and talented women. There are so many things that women can do, and I don't have to be a concubine?"

"Pfft..." Princess Qinghe laughed out loud, and said, "Just what you said, there is still a lot you can do, so why worry about it, you live your life, and your mother is just teaching. What should I do if I don't look at you?"

"That's right~ Did I think too much?" Wang Shuo rubbed his head. Could it be that he was thinking too much?

"I mainly don't want my mother to say that women will live like that for the rest of their lives!" Wang Shuo was almost taken into a ditch, and he managed to straighten the main building.

"What does it have to do with you?" Please and Princess shouted.

"what?"

"I said that has nothing to do with you!" Princess Qinghe said: "There will be no mistakes in the future, your mother will invite you to be the county master, and your future husband's family will also be carefully selected. You are so smart, life will be sure It’s not bad. Even if you want to be a female general, female official, or talented woman, you can still do it when you get married, as long as you want.”

When our dynasty was founded, there was Princess Pingyang who led the army to fight, and all the female troops under her command made great efforts when attacking the capital and pacified the old capital of the former dynasty for Tai/zu; According to the records of the Secretary of Agriculture, it is easier to be a talented woman. There are highly respected talented women in Jingzhong and Jinling. They may not be talented enough, but they are also the embryonic form of talented women.

Wang Shuo was dumbfounded listening to Princess Qinghe's analysis, so what he did was always unfounded?
