The Zhen family was quiet for a few days.
Zhen Yuanyuan put her head under the quilt and said bad things about Meng Rulan to Zhen Qingyin: "Sister, what happened when you went out for a visit that day? Cousin Rulan seemed to be a different person after she came back that day. She spoke in a weird and eccentric manner and stopped pretending. , competing with you for favor in front of grandma, and bathing three times a day. Tell me quietly, did she fall into a mud puddle that day? "
After saying that, she covered her mouth and giggled, imagining some funny scene and feeling quite gloating about her misfortune.
When someone who is unkind to her sister encounters something bad, of course she will laugh, and laugh loudly.
Zhen Qingyin nodded her forehead: "Little devil! Something bad did happen to her. Grandma is not allowed to tell anyone about it, so I won't talk about it. It's almost like falling into a mud pit."
She doesn't publicize Meng Rulan's scandal everywhere. It's not because she has a heart attack. It's because this era is unfair to women. Why should a man treat a woman lightly and the woman deserves to lose her reputation and die?
Innocence and reputation are all things that men deliberately use to brainwash women in order to constrain women. If they say it too often, they will regard a woman's innocence as their fate and glory. Once her innocence is lost, she will be sorry for her father, husband, and others even if she dies. son.
If we were to talk about innocence equally, nine out of ten men would be hanged, and even Confucius would be ashamed of his origins.
If she ridiculed Meng Rulan about this matter, or even forced her to death, it would actually hurt the humble dignity of every woman.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask. I'll just think she's fallen into a trap. Hey, it's her fault. Who made her secretly mock us for not being as good-looking as her! What's the use of being good-looking? If you don't do serious things every day, you'll get into trouble, and you'll just find fault with others. No matter how beautiful your face is, it's too ugly to be seen."
Zhen Yuanyuan noticed the seriousness in her sister's words and did not dare to ask any more questions. She angrily accused her, "Why don't you take me with you when you go out as guests?"
"Don't cover yourself with the quilt. I just took a shower and I'm covered in sweat again." Zhen Qingyin got out of the quilt and yawned. It's March and the weather has turned hot. "Be good, I'll take you with me next time. I didn't take you with me last time because I wanted to Let’s see what my cousin wants to do.”
"Yes, yes, I forgot to ask. The old lady always asks you to take her out, saying it's for a blind date, but if you follow my mother, wouldn't it be more convenient for the ladies to see each other?"
Zhen Qingyin pinched her soft face: "I'm making progress! Haven't I met His Highness the Crown Prince a few times? The old lady probably suspected that His Highness the Crown Prince was attracted to me, so she asked me to go out more and meet the Crown Prince more often. Cousin Ru Lan followed me , she will be able to show her face in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, and maybe the Crown Prince will fall in love with her heavenly beauty and marry her into the East Palace to become his empress."
What's so hard to guess about this?
The old lady was circuitous, but unfortunately Meng Rulan was too young and too anxious to hide her thoughts.
Zhen Yuanyuan groaned and said angrily: "Why is grandma so partial? You are her granddaughter, and Meng Rulan is just a grandniece. In the past, grandma couldn't even match her face and name! Speaking of which, sister, His Highness the Crown Prince really falls in love with you? That's great, we can be sisters-in-law in the future, and you, the Crown Princess, can still protect me."
She thought it was impossible, but what happened on the ninth day of the first lunar month appeared before her eyes. At the gate of Duke Chao's mansion, her sister stumbled, and His Highness the Crown Prince had to help her with his own hands.
She secretly suspected that her sister's trip was a deliberate attempt to attract the Crown Prince's attention.
Could it be that the two of them have been secretly in love since drinking the remaining wine in the East Palace?
For a time, many colorful and strange thoughts popped up in Zhen Yuanyuan's mind.
Zhen Qingyin slapped her and said, "What are you thinking about? I am an eighth-grade, oh, and now I am the daughter of a seventh-grade official. It is the most ridiculous thing in the world to think about the princess! At most, I can only carry a small sedan to a concubine. You have to kowtow to everyone you see."
"Ah? Forget it. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is excellent, my sister can't bear this grievance." Zhen Yuanyuan didn't understand anything. She sighed melancholy and drove away the colorful thoughts in her mind. When she saw Zhen Qingyin's face was full of joy, She didn't care, but she felt depressed inside. Her uncle was really unreliable, "It's still early, sister, go to bed first, and I'll read a book for a while."
She got up, kicked off her shoes, lowered the curtains to block the light, went to lie down on the soft couch, first half covered with a thin quilt, and then picked up the half-read book on the side to read.
The reality is cruel, so let’s read the script.
Zhen Qingyin knew that she had a problem of getting sleepy while reading, so she hummed softly, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Half asleep, she heard the sound of books being turned. Zhen Qingyin glanced at the countdown. She had been asleep for more than half an hour, and there was still the sound of books being turned outside.
She felt strange, when had Yuanyuan been able to persist in reading for so long?
"Yuanyuan, please get some rest soon, I have to go pay my respects to the old lady tomorrow."
"Sister, go to bed first, I'll be right back." Zhen Yuanyuan responded.
The tone was obviously perfunctory.
Sure enough, this "coming soon" has not come yet after fifteen minutes.
Zhen Qingyin got out of bed lightly. Opposite her, Zhen Yuanyuan was holding a book and was very engrossed in reading. She had a smile on her lips, a spring in her eyebrows, and covered her mouth from time to time and snickered.
She came up behind Zhen Yuanyuan, lowered her neck and took a look. As expected, Zhen Yuanyuan was reading not a serious book, but a storybook.
She read out in a flat tone: "As soon as Qingqing stepped across the threshold of the cold palace, someone twisted her two white tofu-like wrists. The person cut her back, pushed her to the wall, and pressed her white face. On the cold palace wall, hot lips fell on the back of her neck, burning every inch. The red lantern skirt was violently torn open from behind, and Qingqing let out a scream..."
"Ah——" The stiff Zhen Yuanyuan let out a scream after realizing it. She was so ashamed that she closed the book and threw the book out in a hurry. Then she grabbed the quilt and covered her face with a rake. " Sister, how can you pronounce such shameful words?"
System: [...] The host has a bad taste and deliberately creates a scene of social death.
"You are curious to read it, I am curious to read it." Zhen Qingyin picked up the storybook on the ground and couldn't help but twitching her mouth when she saw the title "The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with Me".
Zhen Yuanyuan was so embarrassed that she picked her toes and was about to cry: "Sister, go away, go away, I don't want you to look at me now... Hey, hey, I didn't mean to read, I went to the bookstore to buy books, my friend They forced me to read it, saying it was the most popular storybook in Beijing recently. I didn’t want to read it, but the heroine of this storybook was named Qingqing, whose surname was Yingying, which was similar to my sister’s name. I was curious, so I bought it. Come back and have a look.”
A long list of strong excuses.
Zhen Qingyin is funny. This excuse is almost the same as when she was sixteen years old, her mother caught her in bed in the middle of the night, watching "The Boss Falls in Love with Me" with a flashlight.
"Qingqing? My name is Zhen Qingyin, and your name is Zhen Qingyuan. They are named after me, and they are named after you. To put it further, they are named after Zhen Qingyun."
Zhen Yuanyuan's first name was Zhen Qingyuan and her nickname was Yuanyuan. Everyone used to call her Yuanyuan. Therefore, except for those close to her, few people remembered the name Qingyuan. Even the prince thought she was called Zhen Yuanyuan.
