Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 25

Du Meke's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Before the Dahui Shengzu Emperor ruled the country, the world had been in turmoil for more than a hundred years. Quartets competed for supremacy, rituals were sparse, and it was difficult for people to fill their stomachs in troubled times.

Therefore, in the troubled times, there really appeared a few heroines who were admired by the common people. Today's Empress Dowager Wen and Hui'an's mother Shen Qing are among them.

Affected by the troubled times, after the founding of the Dahui dynasty, the restrictions on women were the loosest in history, and the defense of men and women was not very strict.Dahui's women can set up a household on their own to support the family, and women are allowed to remarry after being divorced, and boudoir women are not allowed to stay out of the house, and Dahui's girls can travel openly.

These performances are even more prominent in the fashion-leading capital city. Miss Guijie in Beijing are often invited to travel, and it is very rare and common to hold poetry parties, flower viewing parties, and horse rides in the suburbs.

In the palace, female officials appeared in the early years. Although they were only in charge of the inner palace, they also received imperial salaries, were registered in the directory of imperial officials, and were under the control of the Ministry of Officials.This is also an important reason why Shen Qing was able to become a Marquis and take over the Shen family army.

The imperial court even allowed women to go to school, and the nobles in Beijing even sent their women to the Imperial College to receive education in poetry, etiquette, piano and chess, picture sound, riding and archery, and even medical skills.

These aristocrats send their daughters to the school, which is driven by the fashion of today's society, and more importantly, the girls can form their own personal network through contact with each other in the school, and which of the girls from the Imperial College is not the queen of Guijie, God The charming girl?Behind them all represent a force.

After girls get married, their close friends can really play a key role sometimes, and men can even use women to inquire about news, balance relationships, and even seek advantages and avoid evil.

Up to now, the girl's reputation and fame in the circle of noble girls in Beijing and China when she was in the boudoir has become a very important criterion for the rich families to choose their daughter-in-law.

The mistress of the family must not be someone who is not well-known and unknown in the circle of noble girls, because such a girl is no matter how noble her family is, no one will be willing to hire her, because after she is married, not only will she be useless to her husband , On the contrary, it will hinder the development of the whole family and have a negative impact on the future of her husband.

For these reasons, Du Meike has been working hard to get Sun Xinci to enter the Imperial College for training, and she has begged Sun Xixiang more than once for this matter, which can be said to have exhausted all means.

But Sun Xixiang categorically refused because of Shen Qing before, and after Shen Qing passed away, he repeatedly shirked the matter when he mentioned it. Du Meike did not expect that this time it would be so easy to achieve his goal.

Immediately, her eyes brightened, and she embraced Sun Xixiang with infinite joy and dawdled with him, "Xixiang, you are so kind, Xiao Ci must be very happy knowing it!"

Sun Xixiang's mind was swayed by her, and he was overwhelmed by heat, and he was about to pull her skirt, but at this time the door was pushed open vigorously, and Sun Xinci rushed in angrily.

"Mother, Shen Hui'an is too bad, how could she allocate such a dilapidated yard to us to live in! Daddy, you have to decide for me and mother!"

Sun Xinci rushed into the room and saw her parents hugging each other in disheveled clothes, while her mother was pulling her skirt and getting up from her father in a panic. His face flushed and he ran out like a gust of wind.

In the room, Sun Xixiang and Du Meike tidied up with embarrassing expressions, and then left the room one after another.Du Meke gave her daughter who was standing at the door a hard look, "Don't be rude to your big sister, just talk about it if you have something to say."

Sun Xixiang coughed and said sternly, "What's the matter? How flustered is it? It's becoming more and more irregular!"

Sun Xinci's face was flushed, and she swayed a little, thinking that she was tired from wandering around the yard just now, so she asked Madam Zhao to take her to the courtyard where the Hou Mansion set up for their mother and daughter to rest. I went to the place called Qiulan Courtyard in the easternmost corner of the Hou Mansion.

The courtyard is not only remote, but also very small. There are only a few houses in total, and the furnishings in the houses are shabby, even worse than the house where the wet nurse Madam Du lived in when they were in Fuyun Lane. That's why she came here angrily. Complain to parents.

"Father, Big Sister actually cleaned up the Qiulan Courtyard and let Mother and I live in it. How can people live in that yard so dilapidated!" Sun Xinci looked aggrieved, thinking about what happened in the Hou's Mansion today, shed tears immediately.

Qiulanyuan?I really didn't expect that Hui'an would treat Du Meike's mother and daughter so harshly. Thinking of the way Hui'an said shyly yesterday that she was going to clean up the yard for Xiaoci's mother and daughter, Sun Xixiang frowned again, and the irritability of being unable to control the situation surged again.

But Du Meike didn't seem to care, instead she pulled Sun Xinci who was about to speak again, and said with a smile: "Okay, your father should be tired after working for a long time, you are really ignorant, and you still bother him with such trivial things The mother is also tired, accompany the mother to rest!"

Sun Xinci was dragged forward by Du Meke, and she wanted to shout again, but her arm was pinched by Du Meke severely, and she didn't dare to speak again when she was stared at severely by her mother, so she could only be dragged away by Du Meke with a face full of resentment.

When they arrived at the Qiulan Courtyard, Du Meke turned her back to the left and right, and then pulled Sun Xinci to sit down on the bed.

"Mother, why don't you let me tell daddy? Look at this broken yard, how can people live in it! Shen Hui'an, that cheap girl, how can she be so hateful!" Sun Xinci cursed ferociously.

"Keep your voice down. Now we live in the Hou Mansion, and there are people from the Shen family everywhere. Why did you forget what your mother told you when you were at home! You have to remember that here is different from home. If you continue to Self-willed people took the wrong place, and mother will not be able to save you at that time! Besides, I don't think the yard is that dilapidated, but it can still be lived in." Du Meike calmly looked at the furnishings in the room, and a chill flashed across her face.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Are we just going to be bullied like this without fighting back? I can't do it." Sun Xinci looked aggrieved and was about to cry again.

Du Meike hurriedly comforted her, "Who said that mother is not going to fight back? Don't worry, Shen Hui'an's little hoof, mother doesn't believe how skillful she can be. Sooner or later, mother will avenge her humiliation today. You and me in this yard Mother lives, you think, if outsiders know that Shen Hui'an abused her concubine and concubine sister, how much better will her reputation be! A little bit of grievance is good for us, mother knows best, those noble wives always love to flaunt goodness and justice But it is the most hypocritical, they will only sympathize with our mother and daughter who hate Shen Hui'an when they hear this. Listen to mother, only if our mother and daughter are re-accepted by your wives as soon as possible, will mother have a chance to be corrected by your father , your grandmother can speak for our mother and daughter from your grandfather."
