The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 44 Rumors ([-])

Four months into her pregnancy, Xiao Nan's body has finally adjusted to the point where both cooks are satisfied.

And the imperial doctor that Mama Su invited in time also told them with certainty that the county lord's fetal image is very good, as long as it is maintained in this state and combined with proper exercise, the county lord will be able to give birth to a healthy offspring safely.

Hearing this news, Xiao Nan also heaved a sigh of relief. She finally survived the most dangerous first three months, and the bean sprouts in her belly had germinated and grown safely. belly, and told Xiao Nan that here, there is a child who is connected with her blood and is thriving.

Some people say that women in ancient times had three support: father and brother, husband and son.Among these three reliances, the safest and safest is the son.

The reason is simple. Fathers and brothers may sacrifice their married daughters for their own interests; husbands may abandon their wives for the sake of the family and their own selfish desires; but only sons, no matter what happens, can and will not abandon their mothers , as long as his biological mother is his father's first wife, not a concubine like a concubine, then he can divorce his wife and abandon his son in this life, but he can't disobey his mother.

In the Tang Dynasty, although the system of filial piety and honesty in the Han Dynasty was not implemented, the reputation of a scholar was very important for him to establish a career and become an official.He can be mediocre and ruthless, but he must never be unfilial.Not to mention far away, just take the current dynasty as an example, there are many examples of scholars or low-level officials who became famous for their mothers' pure filial piety, and were finally entrusted with important tasks by saints.

The Great Tang inherited from the Northern Dynasties, the Hu style was prevalent, and the Hu customs were greatly integrated into the current environment. In the Northern Dynasties, the status of Hu women was relatively high, so in the Tang Dynasty, it was not as important as in the Song and Ming Dynasties' A woman's lack of talent is virtue'. On the contrary, people in Tang Dynasty paid attention to the education of their children, and would not ignore her education just because they were daughters.

In addition, Tang people are also very enlightened in their attitude towards having boys and girls.Didn't the great poet Bai Juyi just say, "If you have something to hold in your arms, why be a man?"

In the Tang Dynasty, although the equality of men and women was not achieved (in fact, there is no absolute equality between men and women in modern times), the attitude towards women is very enlightened, and there are many books about women's education in the society. Speaking of this, a certain Sa I can't help complaining about the Four Books for Women that were admired in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the distorted saying that women's lack of talent is virtue, and they justly don't let women learn.Don't they think about it, the Four Books for Women are all written by women, if according to their so-called women's lack of talent is virtue, then they wrote "Nv Commandment", "Internal Training", "Nv Analects" and "Nv Fan Jielu" "Women who read such books, are they talented or immoral? !

The topic is far away, let's get down to business, there are many books about female education in the Tang Dynasty, and the education women received was also very formal, so that there were many talented female poets, female calligraphers, and even many talented women. Known as the female crown and female Taoist priest.

A woman has talent and learning. When she gets married and becomes a mother, she is the first teacher to raise her children. Mother and child get along with each other all day, whether it is subtle or subtle, in the young minds of the children, compared to outside The hard-working and strict father, and the loving mother who always nurtured them are more intimate and make them feel respected and loved.

This directly leads to the irreplaceable position of mother in the minds of children.

In Datang, it was not uncommon to divorce one's wife or become an official because of one's mother, and many people also changed their beliefs because their mother believed in Buddhism.You know, the orthodox Confucianists all believe in Confucius, the sage and the sage, and they pay attention to 'the child does not talk about strange powers and gods', but for the mother, they not only 'talk', but also 'believe'.

Let me ask, who else could do this except my own son? !

Therefore, in ancient times, his son was definitely his reliance and hope for the rest of his life, which was also one of the important reasons why Xiao Nan paid attention to the fetus in his womb.

After his body has recuperated, Xiao Nan is ready to walk out of the yard.

"I'll get up early tomorrow, and I'm going to pay my respects to the eldest lady." Xiao Nan finished drinking a cup of snow fungus soup, handed the porcelain cup to Yuzan, and reminded.

"Yes, the county lord," Yuzan took the porcelain cup, put it on a tray beside him, continued to ask questions, and asked, "The county lord will take the waist car or the Xi car?" The county lord hasn't gone out for a long time, These means of transport can be prepared in advance.

"No need, I'll walk." Xiao Nan shook his head, she had already made up her mind, and directly rejected Yuhan's two suggestions.

"Master, this, is this wrong?" Yuzan was a little surprised, and then immediately persuaded, "Master, we are still some distance away from the main courtyard, if we don't take a bus or bus, the maid is worried... You are still pregnant with the child."

Having said that, we have to talk about the architectural layout and living area of ​​the Cui family.

The Cui family is located in Qinrenfang, with a large area, accounting for a quarter of the whole square.

This data sounds a bit general, so let's compare it with other data.

As we all know, Chang'an has a total of 108 workshops, the smallest of which is 36 workshops in the east and west rows of Zhuque Street. This smallest workshop can accommodate 500 households. Please note that there is a difference between these [-] households and the [-] households in later generations. Well, there were no high-rise buildings at that time, and the residents lived in courtyard houses or courtyard houses, and even the smallest one would not be less than four to five hundred square meters.So how big is the area of ​​[-] households? You can calculate it.

Qinrenfang is located in the third column on the east side of Zhuque Street. It is a medium-sized Lifang and can accommodate about 800 residents.

The Cui family occupies a quarter of Qinrenfang, and its area is equivalent to the sum of [-] households. Everyone can imagine how big it is.

Rongshou Hall is located in the northeast corner of Cui's house, and the main hall where the eldest lady lives is located on the central axis of Cui's house. From Rongshou Hall to Zhengtang, it takes at least four to 10 minutes to walk.

As a pampered noble daughter, this is tantamount to a labor-intensive physical work.

Therefore, in the Cui family, if the female family members went to other courtyards, most of them would take waist coaches or Xi chariots, and even decent maids and servants might not be willing to do it on foot.

This is also the reason why Yuzan was surprised when she heard Xiao Nan said that she wanted to walk—normally, ladies can’t walk, let alone Xiao Nan is still pregnant.

Xiao Nan shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, A Niang often said that as a daughter-in-law, one should be filial to the elders. Now that I am pregnant with a child, it would be very disrespectful for me not to be able to settle down day and night. Now Da Furen is sympathetic. Ask me to pay her respects before the first and fifteenth day of the junior high school, if I still go there in a car, wouldn't it be too dishonest?!"

"But..." The county head has a high status, even if she doesn't go to pay her respects, the eldest lady won't say anything.Yuzan didn't take Xiao Nan's words very seriously. Although the queen's admonition, the princesses and princesses don't dare to be very unrestrained, but it's impossible for them to behave in front of their mother-in-law like a daughter-in-law in an ordinary family. There, even if they thought, those mother-in-laws might not dare to bear it.

"Needless to say, I have already made up my mind. Tomorrow, you can just call me in advance." Xiao Nan waved her hand. She knew that in the current people's cognition, a woman should rest in the house when she is pregnant. Everyone knows that pregnant women also need proper exercise, otherwise, it is easy to have dystocia during childbirth.There is no caesarean section here. If you encounter dystocia during childbirth, you basically step into the palace of the king of hell and you can only resign yourself to fate.If you give birth to a child by chance, the body of the pregnant woman and the child will also be affected: the pregnant woman may have difficulty conceiving, and the child will also be congenitally deficient, weak and sick.

Just as he was talking, Yu Zhu walked in, but his face was a little ugly.

"What's the matter? Who got mad at you?" Xiao Nan was thinking of changing the topic to divert Yuhan's attention, when he raised his eyes and saw Yuzhu walking in with pouts, he couldn't help asking a little funny.

"County Master——" Yuzhu opened her mouth, hesitated again and again, but still couldn't hold back, and said angrily: "Someone in the manor spread rumors, saying, that the county master stayed in Rongshou Hall with ulterior motives..."

PS: Hey, the update is a bit late, writing old sayings, information and so on is really tangled.
