The world is heavy and late

Chapter 15
Xuanzhou, Gufu, the second day of Mid-Autumn Festival

Gu's mansion had a visitor today, it was a married lady who came back to the house to visit relatives, and brought some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts by the way.

Gu Weiyun has been waiting for Mrs. Gu outside the house.

After Mrs. Gu met her parents in the second room, she came to visit her uncle and aunt again, and then came to talk to her cousin.The two met at the door of the house affectionately, and Gu Weiyun led the cousin into the house.

After Mrs. Gu entered the room, she pulled Gu Weiyun to have a closer look, and said with a smile

"Our second mother is really getting better and better, and I don't know how to grow up, so I took advantage of the strengths of uncle and aunt."

Gu Weiyun just said

"Why does my cousin make fun of me? Does my cousin's husband dare to dislike her?"

Gu Weiyun was joking, but as soon as the words came out, she saw her cousin's expression change. Gu Weiyun felt a little bad, and immediately asked

"What happened to my cousin, but what did my cousin's husband really do?"

Although Mrs. Gu's complexion was gloomy, she still smiled and said
"Let's talk for a while, sisters, about what he does."

Gu Weiyun didn't ask again, but he still knew that there should be a problem with the relationship between the cousin and the cousin's husband. Gu Weiyun felt a little bit of sympathy. The cousin is such a good person, why doesn't the cousin know how to cherish it.Gu Weiyun followed Mrs. Gu's words and chatted about other things, but she heard her cousin say
"The young master of Tang county magistrate's family is also a good-looking talent. I heard that he is studying in a government school now. He seems to be more successful than Brother Cheng and Brother Xin. He is saying that the Tang family is also a family. Don't look at how far they are from the family, but it's a family anyway."

Gu Weiyun's head looks a little big. Since he was 15 years old this year, there have been more matchmakers coming to Gu's mansion to see each other. But Gu Weiyun thought about the news he heard, and he didn't want to discuss marriage anymore. Now thinking of his cousin The relationship with my cousin-in-law is not very good, and I am even more irritable.

"Cousin, well, you just said that our sisters were talking, what are you talking about an outsider now?"

Mrs. Gu said angrily
"You can pay more attention, my good sister. You are also old, which woman doesn't get married? People say that when a woman gets married, she is reincarnated for the second time. Who doesn't want to marry well? This little Tang There are also a lot of young masters who are vying to get married. Although the old lady in their family is difficult, you should just let it be respectful. After these years, young master Tang also has a future. You are giving birth to two Son, you will be blessed."

Gu Weiyun heard that she didn't want to marry anymore, she retorted
"When a woman gets married, do she go to marry or serve others? After she gets married, she should serve her parents-in-law. As a son of man, one should be filial, but when she encounters some harsh mothers-in-law, she has to get up and stand in front of her mother-in-law every day. The door of the mother's room is waiting, you can't eat at mealtimes, and you can't leave your mother-in-law for a moment. If your mother-in-law has a headache, you are the sinner of the whole family. When the husband comes back at night, you have to serve your husband. If the husband is biased, the concubine can ride on your head and have children for him. If you have no children for three years, you are the sinner of the whole family. Surrounding the parents-in-law at home all day long In addition to your sister-in-law and husband, the big and small affairs of the family have to fall on you. If you meet a lenient family, it’s okay, just keep yourself upright. The slaves bully the master, even the daily affairs are complicated. Day after day like this, people can't live. The life is not as comfortable as the servants of our family. Am I going to marry or be a slave? Yes, besides, the day's work of being a slave is still finished, and there is still a month's money. What do I have, I am full of fatigue, I have a house full of complaints, I am really full of sorrow"

While talking, Gu Weiyun took a sip of tea, put it down and sighed before saying
"I can bear all these things, but just like what my sister said about marrying that little Mr. Tang, it looks good. Outsiders will only say that I have found a good husband and think that I can marry that kind of person." It may be that I, Gu Weiyun, climbed up to others."

In fact, Gu Weiyun felt very uncomfortable. She didn't feel that she was inferior, but her wealth seemed to be a little inferior. But to be honest, the Gu family is not bad in Xuanzhou.Besides, she herself doesn't understand why women seem to be born to be inferior to others. She can understand that everyone in this world is divided into different classes, because it has been like this since ancient times. Of course the imperial power is supreme, and the aristocratic family is of course noble, but she I don't understand, even the women in the most noble family are much worse than the men, and there are even many books that regulate women's behavior and women's morals are written by the family.Gu Weiyun doesn't think like a man now that there are no women, but Gu Weiyun sees the contribution of women and the pressure women bear in marriage, and Gu Weiyun feels suffocated when he thinks about it.

But Gu Weiyun knew that it was impossible for her not to marry in this life, but she also understood a truth from Haitang's incident. She is the lady of the landlord's family, so she can protect Haitang and let her and Li Chenggong get compensation money Even if she doesn't get married for the rest of her life, she still has someone to rely on; if she has a higher status, can she protect more people?

She had also heard about the purchase of female officials and the purchase of court ladies. At that time, she was just surprised that women in the palace could be officials, so she didn't have much thought about it. However, many things have happened these days, and Gu Weiyun unconsciously thought of it. This news.

If you must marry someone, why can't you be the most honorable person in the world.If you can not marry, then why can't you become a female official? Even though you are only in the palace, the influence is radiated, and the principles are changed step by step.

Once this idea popped up, she couldn't suppress it anymore, and buying a maid to enter the palace was the best way for her.If she is dedicated to being a concubine, with her father's contacts, with her own appearance, perhaps she can achieve her goal through dedicated people.But she didn't want to do this, her father would be said to offer her daughter for honor when entering the palace in this way, and even if she was favored in the future, she would be said to be charming the monarch, and she would not be able to get in touch with this female official whom she had only heard of.And by buying maids to enter the palace, the method is reasonable, even if you can't be a concubine, you can also be a female official, which is just as good.

The only thing to worry about is that if you buy a palace maid to enter the palace, you will give up your original honor. Ordinary women will not do it, but Gu Weiyun is willing to do it, because she knows that if she does not enter the palace, she will have to marry.Gu Weiyun studied with his elder brother since he was a child, and even helped his elder brother with his homework.

She understands the truth that what can't be broken can't be built, and she also has the courage to break the boat.

But Mrs. Gu stared blankly at her cousin who said a lot, and didn't pay much attention to it. She felt that every woman came here like this, so she gently pushed Gu Weiyun's head with her fingers, and said angrily

"What nonsense are you talking about? Seeing that you are not worried about your own marriage, the aunt is almost dying of anxiety."

Afterwards, the two of them talked a little bit more. After Mrs. Gu left the house, Gu Weiyun was still a little preoccupied.Seeing the carriage going away by the hall sister, she turned her head and asked the servant girl

"Is father in the study?"

Gu Weiyun looked at the study room, turned his head and said to the maid: "Go down first."

She took a deep breath and pushed open the study door.

……

No matter what, on the first day of September, Gu Weiyun looked at his father with a face as heavy as water, his mother with tears all over his face, and his elder brother with a puzzled face.Her eyes couldn't help turning red, she knelt down and bowed to her parents three times, then looked at her father and said,

"My daughter is unfilial. She is fifteen years old. She is far away from her parents. She has hurt her dearly. However, my father has traveled far and wide for many years, and has seen a lot. My mother has seen a lot in running the house. All men and women here, the men seek to make meritorious deeds. Fly to prosperity, and finally be praised by the world; women only seek family and happiness, but it is difficult to fulfill their wishes. Therefore, Yun knows that there are many women bound in the world, and it is rare to be fulfilled by being a daughter-in-law, a wife, and a mother. I don’t want the couple to grow old, I only want justice, I don’t want to be equal to men, I just want the world to be open-minded, treat women leniently, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, this trip must go.”

"Today, I will bid farewell to you three times. First, I will pay my respects to my parents, who will nurture and protect me. Second, I will pay my respects to my daughter, who is disobedient to my parents. Third, I will bid farewell to you. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away. I hope my parents will take good care of their health, and I will bid farewell."

Looking at the kneeling little girl in front of him, Gu Lei felt for the first time in his life whether it was wrong for him to let her study with her brother.Looking at the daughter in front of her, she could only wave her hands, but her mother couldn't help crying, she stepped up to protect Gu Weiyun and said
"Mother's second mother, why are you going, the palace is a place where people cannibalize."

Gu Weiyun also hugged her mother and said
"Mom, you must be fine, don't get angry with daddy..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help sobbing, how lucky she was to be born in such a tolerant family, if it was an ordinary family, if a good landlord lady didn't work as a maid, she would definitely be kicked out of the house.

Seeing that the female officer over there was already urging, Gu's mother quickly took the bundle in her hand and stuffed it into Gu Weiyun's arms, whispering:
"Your father put a lot of silver in here, and there is also a piece of clothing, which is sewn with gold leaves. If you have something to do in the palace, you can use the money. Don't waste it. The palace maids will visit relatives every month. In a few years you Father will also go to the capital. Erniang, don't be afraid, ah."

Gu Weiyun finally caught up with the end of the five-year purchase and entered this palace city.

　In my heart, it is optional for Xia Qing to enter the palace, so Chapter 1 is called entering the palace.But Gu Weiyun will eventually have a big career, so this chapter is called entering the palace.
