Qin Zhong listened to the class for two hours early in the morning and said he was sleepy and yawned. Qin Keqing asked Ruizhu to serve him while he was resting inside, took off his shoes and took a nap. Ruizhu still came out to serve Baozhu outside.

Although Qin Zhong, Baozhu and Ruizhu were there, the ethics and education defenses in this era were extremely harsh. Even if Jia Cong was still young, he felt inconvenient. He wanted to get up and go out. Qin Keqing suddenly asked, "How about Uncle Cong, look at the head of the East Mansion?"

The internal affairs of Ningguo Mansion were managed by Youshi and Qin Keqing, and Qin Keqing's good reputation was also highlighted among the housekeepers.

"Fortunately, the East and West Mansions, and the same clan's subordinates, who don't know that the senior sister is the most popular?" Jia Cong said perfunctorily.

"Senior Sister?" Qin Keqing felt stranger as he heard it. However, from Qin Ye as his teacher, he could call him this. She tried to say, "Junior Brother?"

"Yes." Jia Cong replied seriously.

"Puff!" Qin Keqing leaned down from the table and laughed without saying a word. The indigo printed cloth on her shoulders trembled. When she lifted her charming face, her cheeks appeared and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate in front of others. She said, "Ruizhu, Baozhu, you ask Mr. Qin to check the accounts."

Ruizhu and Baozhu went out together, Qin Keqing's face appeared quiet, and Jia Cong saw the rice paper spread out on the table, which was a series of beautiful and delicate handwriting:

Come downstairs, golden hairpin is falling,

Ask the heaven, where is the man?

Hate the prince, I've been going all the time,

It is hard to keep your words when you talk about enemies.

Regret to miss my words,

There is a handover, no handover.

Why do you need to ask if you want to separate? You don’t need a knife.

From now on, don’t rely on your enemies, and you will disappear after a thousand miles of long-lasting lovesickness.

This is "The Heartbreak Mystery" by Zhu Shuzhen, a female poet of the Song Dynasty. This poem can be regarded as a riddle, containing ten Chinese characters from one to ten, and the words and sentences contain a woman's heartbreak and sadness. Why did Qin Keqing write it?

"Junior brother, tell me, why have we women been trapped in the boudoir since ancient times? We have never been able to show our eyebrows in our lives?" She looked out the window and cut the spring swallows with eaves, as if she was talking to others, and as if she was talking to herself.

This question is difficult to answer, especially for ancient women. Jia Cong said speechlessly for a while, "What my senior sister said is not the same. I have heard that in ancient times, there were matriarchal clans, which was the golden age of women. They held power. At that time, people only knew their mothers but not their fathers. Marriage was not determined by men, and it was called service marriage."

"I understand." Qin Keqing replied to his spirit: "Who has the power to make the decision, right? Men are in power at this time, so we women are accessories."

Jia Cong nodded.

Qin Keqing's gentle voice was mixed with unwillingness: "I have not married to my father, and I have married to my husband, and I have followed my son after my death. I have also recognized it. It seems that it is natural for women to be born with a chicken and a dog. But in "Xianyuan Collection" and "Biography of Women", in order to keep the moral integrity, women cut their noses and traumatize themselves, wrap themselves into small feet, and they are in pain and unable to live, and are unable to move. This is called a fashion. Doesn't anyone feel cruel?"

The infinite charm of the light mature woman I saw in the past disappeared, replaced by the sadness of her eyes. Did she just want to tell her what was stuck in her heart?

"Senior sister, it's very cruel, but this is the case in this world." Jia Cong intermittently: "Before Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, "The Book of Rites, Four Systems of Mourning and Clothing" records that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the daughter of Lu Jun married into the Song State and was named Song Boji. One day, the Song State caught fire, and Song Boji refused to leave and was burned to death by the fire. Just because, you must bring your followers when you go out, otherwise Song Boji will be unfaithful and unclean."

"Yes." Qin Keqing interrogated: "Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" is so pity and sympathy for women in the martial arts world. It is this great poet who bought a maid and showed off to his friends, "Cherry Fan Su's mouth, and willow slim waist". It is famous throughout the ages. It is even more fashionable to give away maids to others and exchange them."

What is this? Zhu Xi, the master of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, shouted "Keep the principles of heaven and eliminate human desires" while teasing his daughter-in-law.

Yang Guifei was originally Li Longji's daughter-in-law, the Emperor Li Longji of Kaiyuan's prosperous Kaiyuan period, had a harem of 40,000 yuan. She played one a day and could not finish it for a hundred years...

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was hiding a sweetheart in a golden house, and it is said that he also brought his aunt into the palace. Wu Zetian served Taizong and Gaozong. The Zhu family of Ming Dynasty, the cousins ​​went beyond ethics and were not uncommon. I, the romantic emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was even more desirable. He was fucked by his brother-in-law Fu Heng's wife and was famous for all eternity.

Therefore, some people say this in all dynasties: smelly Han, dirty Tang, unclean Song, sloppy Ming, and snot.

The more concentrated the power is, the easier it is to break morality and ethics. No wonder in ancient times, some people called out "Everyone who is an emperor is a thief", which was a bolt from the blue.

Jia Cong was powerless in this regard. How could he fight against the entire feudal ethics alone? Further, why should he fight against it?

Yes, feudal ethics is a tragedy for women. In modern people, arranged marriages are old waste, old antiques, Lu You, and Tang Wan. They love each other but cannot stay together for life or be together. Modern people can be together freely, but not many love each other. It is not that there is no love, but it cannot last forever.

Is this a system problem? No, it is a human organization problem, a human nature problem. Whether you admit it or not, human animals are naturally married, regardless of whether they are male or female, so it was like that in ancient times, and in modern times. Many sociologists and historians have proved this fact.

However, the environment adds to us ethics, morality, shame, jealousy, chastity, love... children do not have these things. Morality comes from habits, and habits come from life.

The more thorough the problem a person sees the problem, the less relaxed he lives, because many essential things are always incompatible with reality. Jia Cong has nothing to say. It is not that he has nothing to say, but that he has not found a partner to express and chose to remain silent.

If we continue to talk about it, it is just a matter of empty talk. It is unrealistic and deepens her pain. Qin Keqing again leaned down from the table and cried bitterly. The jade hairpin was inserted obliquely, and there was a bead. At this moment, she was no longer the wife of the eldest wife and the eldest grandmother of Xiaorong, but a little woman with pain and speech. She talked about things in the palace with lust, but she dared not speak in front of the parrot, and this is like this. The noble women are like this. The ordinary women are running around because of the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Their life is mediocre when the old trees withered in front of the door, and the noble women, and they and a group of women, surrounded by a group of men who use benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, kindness, respect and frugality, and let the appearance be hungry to death, and the loss of integrity is big. Faced with the repeated teasings of her father-in-law, what other ways can she escape? But can she escape for a lifetime? If she can run away, she will not be able to escape the temple.

The "Tang Law" mentions the separation of husband and wife. The "Great Qing Law": If a husband and wife are not harmonious and the two wishes are separated, they will not sit. The "Great Law" is the same.

If a husband and wife are not harmonious, both parties are willing to divorce. Isn’t it very modern? Humanized? That’s wrong. What should the woman do if the man doesn’t let go?

A woman who ran away from her husband by her husband, "The Great Qing Dynasty Law": A hundred rods are taken by her husband and married and sold them. The same is true for the Dashun Law.

Therefore, as long as Jia Zhen does not let Jia Rong go, Qin Keqing can only end his life sadly.

In Chinese history, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the laws were still imperfect. They stipulated that if the husband steals, he will not be punished, and his wife will take the blame because his wife does not persuade her. The Qing Dynasty used bloody means and the extraordinary "civilization and military achievements" to fully declare their barbarity to the whole world.

In addition, the "Qing Dynasty Laws" stipulate that "those who marry their aunts and uncles and two aunts and sisters will be 80 years old and divorce", which prohibits close relatives from getting married.

Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu were cousins ​​of aunts and uncles, and Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu were cousins ​​of two aunts. In other words, if it was in the Qing Dynasty, Jia Baoyu could not marry Lin Daiyu nor Xue Baochai, otherwise the result would be "eighty-stolen and divorced", and there was no such article in the "Dashun Law" of the current dynasty.
