Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

After seeing off Zhao Ning, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu sat at the table silently looking at each other, the outside world seemed a bit unexpected.

Through the conversation in the middle of the night, Gu Jingyun not only got a preliminary understanding of the "customs" of the outside world, but also learned some basic common sense and current situation in the court.

Qin Xinfang has been away from the political center for too long, and Qiongzhou is far away from the mainland. Even if there are friends in correspondence, the information exchanged is very little. Most of them focus on the crown prince being reprimanded by the emperor, and his power shrinks; or which minister the fourth prince won What kind of slander did Concubine Lan Gui slander the emperor; or when a disaster happened in a certain place, who would the court send to relieve the disaster, and if someone's term of office was about to expire, we would like to seek a certain position, so I asked Uncle Qin about it. Opinion……

No one would specifically write to Qin Xinfang to tell Qin Xinfang that the girls' schools in various places were cancelled, and that the female family members had to wear veils and hats when they went out.

But the world is changing little by little. Qin Xinfang and He Zipei have only been exiled for fourteen years, and the outside world has changed.

In this way, the students they teach are somewhat incompatible with the outside world.

The defense of men and women in the Great Chu Dynasty was much stricter than that of the previous dynasty. It should be said that since the prevalence of Cheng-Zhu Confucianism, women's behavior has been more restrained, but it is far less serious than it is today.

He Zipei and Qin Xinfang are considered to be in a free relationship. Both of them are the best students of Qingxi Academy, but one is a female student and the other is a male student. The parents proposed marriage after the two had a good impression of each other. At that time, many people were Such a combination shows the prosperity of women's studies and the freedom of love at that time.

So the two of them didn't think there was anything wrong with putting the two children together to teach, let them read and write together, and go out to play alone together, let alone they are unmarried couples.

But Qiongzhou is remote, and the defense between men and women is much lighter than that of the outside world. Women can go to work in the fields, or run business or take jobs outside, but the mainland is much stricter.

According to Zhao Ning, when he was young, his sisters also read and read with him, but he didn't know when his parents began to restrain the sisters in the family. He only thought that the sisters were getting ready to marry and didn't take it seriously.

But outside the requirements for the defense of men and women are getting stricter and stricter. In the past, women in Huizhou area would go out when they went out, and they could go to the road with two or three friends. , and later you have to be accompanied by elders to go out...

In the past, the sisters in the family also wore veiled hats when they went out. Although they also meant to hide their appearance, most of them were to cover up the wind and dust.

These changes were subtle, so Zhao Ning didn't think it was wrong, but Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu didn't. They had been living in a relaxed environment before, but they suddenly fell into this harsh outside world, and they couldn't accept it for a while.

Li Baolu asked hesitantly: "Does this mean that I can't go out with you and have to stay indoors and mend?"

Gu Jingyun rolled his eyes and said, "Can you sit still?"

Staying in a place like a birdcage and unable to go out, talking to men with her head down to avoid... Li Baolu couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth and shaking her head.

"Why should we care about other people's opinions? It's enough to know what's going on." Gu Jingyun paused and warned: "Don't hold my hand outside in the future, or others will misunderstand your identity."

Li Baolu sighed, "I just want to know who canceled the girls' school and trampled girls into the mud like this."

"Oh, I know this, it's our common enemy." Gu Jingyun looked at her with a smile and said, "Lan Guifei!"

Li Baolu opened her mouth and said, "She, isn't she also a girl?"

"The most famous women's school in Beijing is Qingxi Women's School, and the head of Qingxi Academy is the queen's cousin. In other words, the women's school is just an excuse for her to suppress the Queen's department, and the queen is also from Qingxi Women's School , it is said that like my aunt, she was the best in the capital when she was young, and no one can match her, so it is easy for you to change this situation, just wait until the crown prince wins." Since Gu Jingyun wanted to inquire, he naturally had to ask about the cause and effect clear.

In the final analysis, the decline in the status of women and the increase in the defense of men and women are just the consequences of the game of the superiors. As long as the superiors change their attitudes, the secular atmosphere can change at any time.

Gu Jingyun, who is familiar with history, also thought that even if the secular world becomes female superior to male inferior, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as there are two or three female emperors.

Li Baolu obviously thought of this too, she looked at Gu Jingyun with piercing eyes and said, "So our future depends on the crown prince?"

"It looks like this at the moment. The second prince Chengjun hurt his face on the battlefield, so it is impossible for him to ascend the throne. The third prince has not yet been crowned a prince. My uncle said that he is weak and incompetent. His biological mother is just a court lady, and he does not have the conditions to compete for the throne. , the fifth prince belongs to the lineage of the fourth prince, and the sixth prince has not reached the crown yet. It seems that the second prince is moving closer." Gu Jingyun said: "When Concubine Zhao gave birth, your grandfather tried his best to protect their mother and child. Concubine Zhao But he is not even willing to beg for your grandfather, such a person is not worthy of cooperation, after all, only the crown prince is suitable."

Gu Jingyun sighed, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity that the prince's health is too bad."

Qin Xinfang used to be the prince's young teacher, and taught him. The two are of the same age, and they feel good about each other even as they are both teachers and friends.

Although Gu Jingyun has never met the prince, he also knows from his uncle that the prince is a broad-minded and talented person. He was named the prince at the age of eight, and he has been taught by the standards of the future monarch since he was a child. Uncle won't try his best to fight the crime.

The Qin family was bound together with the prince, and without any other suitable heir, Gu Jingyun could only choose to continue to be with the prince.

Gu Jingyun had thought about this before leaving Qiongzhou, but now there is another reason, for their future life to be more comfortable, for their future daughter to live more freely, and the fourth prince born by Concubine Lan Gui cannot be allowed to be on the throne. throne.

Gu Jingyun made sure of his future goals, then put it aside, and said to Li Baolu in a relaxed manner, "What happened before, what will happen in the future, as long as you don't appear so intimate outside."

"Are you going to be a madman?" Such a disregard for the world.

Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "There is nothing wrong with being a madman. You can do whatever you want. As long as you are talented, who can say anything?"

Li Baolu thought it was true, and immediately became happy, "Then you work hard, and I don't have to worry about being locked up."

"But you'd better wear a veiled hat when you go out, if you can."

Li Baolu asked happily, "Don't you want my appearance to be seen by others?"

"No, you are too dark, you should take good care of your skin, especially when standing with me, everyone thinks you are my maid, I think it is too much to explain to everyone that you are my wife Trouble."

Li Baolu: "..."

Before going to bed at night, Li Baolu sat in front of the bronze mirror without moving for a while. She kept touching her face. It's not dark. It's obviously a bronze complexion. Because of her young age, her skin is delicate and full of elasticity. Where is the difference?

She used to be very white too, okay? It's all the master's fault. Ever since her kung fu has improved rapidly, he has disliked her and dragged her to fight outside every day. The sun in Qiongzhou is so strong that she can get sunburned even in winter. People are dizzy, she has been in the sun for more than half a year, how can she not be dark?

Li Baolu held her face sadly and did not speak.

Gu Jingyun put away the things on the desk, lay back on the bed, and saw that she was still holding her face in her hands, so she laughed and said: "Okay, I don't dislike you for being dark, go to bed quickly, let's go shopping around Guangzhou tomorrow." , it’s better to get familiar with Guangzhou.”

"You asked me to wear a veiled hat, yet you still dare to say that you don't despise me for being black? Hmph, hypocrite!"

"Will you wear a veil, then?"

"Without!"

Gu Jingyun shrugged, "Look, I didn't force you to wear it, so it doesn't mean I dislike you, but I suggest you wear it, because it looks like you and I will match a lot, and others won't think you are a girl when they see you. My maid."

Li Baolu accused: "You still think I'm not good enough for you."

Gu Jingyun opened his mouth, and felt his uncle's sigh for the first time in his life, "Sometimes women are very unreasonable, even if she is a calm, self-possessed and prudent girl."

Gu Jingyun closed his mouth and looked at Li Baolu quietly, with a rather pitiful expression.

Li Baolu probably also realized that she was being unreasonable, so she coughed lightly and waved her hands: "Okay, my lord has a lot to forgive you, go to bed."

Gu Jingyun confirmed that Li Baolu was back to normal, not lying down to sleep contentedly after getting angry. It seems that Baolu is better than aunt. The last time my aunt was angry with my uncle for no reason, but she was angry for three days in a row, and my uncle slept in the study for three days ,Pitiful!
