"You mean, you guys volunteered?"
Chen Que, who wanted to be with Guang first and then decide what to do, chose a thin horse named Xiao Linglong to accompany him.
And after all the entertainment activities were over, Chen Que, who wanted to find out what was going on, still managed to hold on to the sleepiness caused by the exercise and started chatting with this little Linglong.
This little Linglong also has a very good service attitude. She is obviously well-trained, not an ordinary prostitute who just watches people order dishes. She also does not dislike Chen Que's frugal clothes and unlike a rich and noble son, so she has always been very polite. Answer patiently and chat with Chen Que, and try to use some speaking skills to make Chen Que happier because of the chat.
What Chen Que didn't expect was that he learned that Xiao Linglong had come to this point voluntarily.
"Of course it's voluntary, otherwise how can you greet people with a smile?"
Xiao Linglong replied.
Chen Que was quite shocked and asked: "Why do you volunteer? Isn't this a despicable job? Women of the Han family have their own precious qualities and should be a good couple."
"That's what you literati and sluts are like, you have toyed with others and then you have to teach them!"
"Forget it, let me say it again. There are many benefits in this. If I don't worry about you, what are the benefits of being a married couple? Even if you marry into a good family, you still have to honor your parents-in-law and serve your husband and children. Don't talk about it if you don't have money. , it’ll be good if you don’t get beaten!”
"How can I be so free and comfortable now? I also make a lot more money. If I stay with you this night, my godfather will give me five hundred silver coins, which is more than the annual salary of your county magistrate. My first sister is richer than me. She is a poet, good-looking, and worth several times as much. All the ministers and ministers respect her as their king. To have her stay with her for a night requires tens of thousands of gold. Therefore, my sister has saved a hundred thousand gold and is now doing a little business. , has become a wealthy man in Suzhou, with an asset of millions of gold. I dare to ask the county magistrate, if an ordinary woman is not the daughter of a wealthy family, can she be so rich by being a married couple? "
Xiao Linglong asked a question as she spoke, saying: "My sister is very comfortable now. She has four gardens, each in a place with a different climate. She lives in a warm garden in winter and in a cool place in summer. Her Each garden has an attic dedicated to storing jewelry, clothes, embroidered shoes, and perfume. She also has several younger brothers, all of whom were born as Jinshi. Now her younger brothers are all promoted. The money she gave was always worth thousands of gold. Now she also plans to go overseas to buy land and become a queen. The younger brothers she is raising now originally suggested that the daughters of the Han family should be allowed to go overseas and become independent. As for the vassal state, I really want to be like her!"
Chen Que was quite surprised after hearing this, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that after the imperial court allowed the collapse of rituals and music, the social customs would reach such an extent. Those who dare to speak up for women in the court are not really speaking out for the daughters of good families."
Chen Que saw that Xiao Linglong's eyes were full of yearning when she talked about her sister, so she just smiled and replied: "May your dreams come true."
"Thank you!"
Xiao Linglong replied with a smile, and took the initiative to ask Chen Que: "My Lord, can you write a poem for the slave family?"
"Can!"
Chen Que replied.
As a talented thinker in history, Chen Que thought about a poem after pondering for a moment. After reading it to Xiao Linglong, Xiao Linglong, who had been educated in literature, could also identify the good and bad of Chen Que's work. He exclaimed for a moment: "I didn't expect that the county magistrate could write such a poem so well!"
Then, Xiao Linglong couldn't help but take a serious look at the still young Chen Quelai.
Nowadays, due to the rapid development of the commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere has already changed drastically. Many scholar-bureaucrats themselves cannot be clean and self-respecting. The natural hierarchical order is no longer as clear as it was in the early days of the country. Therefore, for people like Xiao Linglong who have seen many dignitaries, Yan said that he would not be too respectful in front of the county magistrate, so he dared to look at Chen Que intently.
For a moment, Xiao Linglong saw the bright look on his face, and she liked him more and more. She couldn't help but said: "The county official came here to be an official, so he must not have any background. When the slave family is worth a hundred times in the future, how about the county official recognizes the slave family as his sister?" When the time comes, the slave family will help you pay for the introduction to high-ranking officials, and then the county master will surely prosper, and the slave family does not ask for anything else. It only asks that the county master can write more poems for the slave family, so that the slave family can be famous all over the world!"
Chen Que only smiled slightly, and fell into his small room and saw the "Huang Ming Holy Instructions". He couldn't help being surprised: "You also read His Majesty's book?"
"nature!"
Xiao Linglong was quite disappointed when she saw that Chen Que did not give a clear answer, but she quickly covered up her disappointment and immediately replied, "Besides my sister, the one I respect the most is the current emperor!"
"Why?"
Chen Que asked.
"If the emperor hadn't regarded the Han women in the world as his own sisters and daughters, respected him, and even banned the Qinlou and Chu palaces for this reason, we Han women would not be so valuable! Now, any average-looking Han girl They are all worth five or six times more than the first-class beauties. The best-looking ones are of course worth a sky-high price. The dignitaries treat them like gods, and they will not disobey her at all! Therefore, those of us in this profession all like the emperor!"
Xiao Linglong replied.
Chen Que couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, and thought to himself: "This may not be the emperor's original intention!"
Chen really doesn't have the patience to stay in this world that has subverted his outlook on life any longer.
Therefore, he found a few excuses and left here early.
When he left Guanyu Pavilion, he couldn't help but look back at the garden with its carved beams and painted buildings, which followed the etiquette system of the early days of the country and had violations of the etiquette system everywhere, as well as those people in the garden who were slaves and dressed in red and gold, and then Then he left in a hurry.
When we returned to the county government office, it was not yet completely bright.
But at this time, Chen Que had already heard the sound of machinery coming from the inner courtyard.
Soon, he saw his wife, Wang, sitting in front of the family loom weaving cloth with her youngest son on her back.
"Ms. sir, you're back! I didn't expect you to come back so early, before you had time to make breakfast."
When Wang saw Chen Que coming back, she stopped pushing the loom in her hand, stood up, and spoke to Chen Que.
Chen Que did not expect that his wife would get up so early to weave.
Moreover, Chen Que saw that she was wearing coarse cloth and was much thinner than when she married him. Then he thought that his wife seemed to have been weaving from early in the morning to late at night since she married him to earn money for him to study, and she was also responsible for raising children. In addition to serving his parents, taking care of the housework and dealing with people, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty for not returning home last night. After comparing himself with Xiao Linglong and other men, he felt that his wife was indeed extremely virtuous.
Chen Que couldn't bear to think that his wife was yellow and withered, and said, "I'll do it myself. Don't get up so early in the future. I don't have to work anymore."
"How can you do it?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while, then said something with a smile, and then carried the child to the kitchen.
