Chapter 41 Observance of Filial Piety

Lin Nan finished today's study and came out of "Training of Famous Imperial Examination Teachers". It happened that Qingzhu knocked on the door and called him.

"My lord, Ma'am asked if you would like to eat in the courtyard or in the study tonight."

"Go back to Madam and say that I am eating in the study today, and let her eat by herself without waiting for me."

"Okay sir"
This green bamboo is the bookboy that Sun Yourong bought for him last time when he went to the tooth shop. Usually, he was at the door when he was studying in the "Training of Famous Imperial Examination Teachers" during the day.To prevent someone from breaking in, although I am still in the study with my spiritual body to learn the physical body, it is better for people to guard.Save yourself from bothering yourself to study.

When Qing Zhu went to talk to Sun Yourong, Sun Yourong was doing needlework. Now Sun Yourong takes care of the accounts and makes clothes for Lin Nan every day, and the housework is handed over to the two women who bought half a month ago. In the kitchen, Mrs. Zhou is in charge of unpacking and washing the house.

Qing Zhu and Tao Hong beside Sun Yourong are siblings, a ten-year-old and an eight-year-old are the grandchildren of the old man Zhang who guards the gate.His son died on the battlefield. After his wife remarried, Mr. Zhang watched his young grandson and granddaughter cruelly take the children to the dental shop to sell himself.

Old man Zhang is almost fifty. In ancient times, this was the age when the loess buried his neck. He was afraid that his child would not be able to survive by himself, so he asked a fellow dental dealer in his hometown to help him find a place to go. Sun Yourong went to buy people and brought them back. The five of them spent a tael of gold together, which was considered cheap, because the only things worth money were peach red and green bamboo, and old Zhang and fellow villagers also gave them two taels of gold. One was sold cheaply to Sun Yourong.

Zhang, the shopkeeper of Yaxing, has been doing business in Taiyuan City for 20 years. He doesn't say that he knows the situation of each company, but he probably knows a little bit.This Fang's house might be the best place for the grandpa and grandson, at least the Fang family would not let the grandpa and grandson be separated even if old man Zhang bought it.Although the Fang family is now in ruins, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so there is some background.

"Master said that we will eat in the study today, let the lady eat by herself without waiting for him"
"Did the master study in the study for another day and didn't come out for a walk?"

"After eating at noon, the master walked down the yard, but it didn't take long for the master to go back to the study to continue studying."

"I see, you go down first."

Since her husband got well, he has been reading in the study every day, working harder than before. Sun Yourong thought it was because her husband was stimulated after her father-in-law left, so she didn't persuade her to just pay attention to her body at all times, and not let her suffer from injury.However, my husband still takes good care of his body, and will go back to the main courtyard from the study to rest at night, but because of the filial piety, the two still sleep separately, one in the back room and the other in the outer room, but as long as the husband knows how to take care of his body, he will be happy.

At that time, the wind and cold finally hurt my husband's vitality. Although he looks better now, he can't be sloppy at ordinary times.

After eating in the study, Lin Nan lazily slumped on the collapsed bed to relax and didn't want to move. Although his soul was in class, his body was also very tired, especially since he had to learn rites and piano with Master Sun every night. Of course, he still I didn’t learn that the piano is still in the ceremony, and I kept suffering from the ruler. According to Master Sun, I said that I am a rotten wood, but my etiquette has really improved a lot if I persist in it day by day. Xiaobai who understands has reached the point of beginners.Just like now that he is paralyzed on the ground, he also subconsciously maintains his figure to make himself appear elegant.

At around eight o'clock, Lin Nan was going to go back to the backyard to chat with Sun Yourong before continuing his study and life at night.

"You Rong, these needlework are done during the day, my clothes and purse are enough to wear, you don't do needlework at night, it will hurt your eyes"
As soon as Lin Nan entered the door, he saw Sun Yourong sitting by the candles making a purse for himself, so he dissuaded him.This is actually my own fault. Recently, I was learning etiquette from Master Sun, and I always behaved like a gentleman, so I have some requirements for the clothes, jade pendants and purses I wear. Recently, Sun Yourong has been paying attention to it all the time. Looking at herself, as soon as she expressed dissatisfaction with the original clothes, she was busy making clothes for herself again.

No wonder the ancients liked this kind of woman whose husband was their heaven. I haven't experienced it before, but I only think it's men's oppression of women, but after getting along with Sun Yourong, it's really addictive, although it's not benevolent and moral to think so.But such a person who pays attention to himself all the time, likes according to his own preferences, and puts himself first in everything, Lin Nan thinks that everyone likes it.

Especially this time because of the separation of my brothers, I feel lonely and want to do tasks to make my life more adequate.But when he met a woman like Sun Yourong who put her husband first, he felt like he was about to fall into it.

Although I enjoy this feeling, I have to say that the spiritual oppression on women is really great at this time. The folks have clearly asked women to submit to their husbands' demands, obey their husbands unconditionally, and respect their parents-in-law.There are also women who have the three principles of obedience, and there is no special way, so they obey their father before they are married, obey their husband when married, and obey their son after the husband dies.

Under such circumstances, Lin Shaochun would not be accepted by the Sun family if Lin Shaochun was not a heroine with a super halo, not to mention that the whole family has been involved in emotional relationships with Baixi troupe one after another.You must know that the relationship between the gentry and the lowly people is different from each other.

"I didn't do it at first, but just saw that it was just a few stitches away, so I picked up and embroidered the last few stitches." Sun Yourong put down her purse with a smile and went forward to undress Lin Nan.

"I don't have a few stitches, but I will do it tomorrow. It's good to stroll around in the yard at night and stretch my body."
"Listen to your husband"
Seeing that Sun Yourong was so obedient, Lin Nan stopped talking, and instead talked about going to Fang Qinwen's grave to observe his filial piety.

"Yourong, I'm in good health now, and I'm going to go back to my father's grave to observe my filial piety. Help me pack my things, and I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon."

"Sir, do you want to wait for a few days, and wait until your health is completely recovered before going to observe your filial piety?"
Sun Yourong knew that her husband had to go to the hut next to her father-in-law's grave to observe filial piety, but she was afraid that her husband's health would not be able to bear it. After all, she had just recovered from a serious illness, so no one would gossip even if she went late.

"No, I'm almost in good health now, I have to go back quickly, otherwise people will misunderstand that I don't want to be a filial piety for my father, you don't have to worry about me, I'm really healthy now. Madam, why don't you stay at home and wait for me to call People repair the hut and take you there."

Being unfilial in this day and age is the biggest stain on being a human being—very serious.A person who is not even filial to his own parents, how can he be trusted and reused?

So if you want to be a scholar in the imperial examination, you need not only knowledge and ability but also a good reputation.
