[Red House] World Transformation Project

On this day, a big event happened in the court.

Someone accused Liao Shangshu's son-in-law, Qin Zhou, as the daughter of a criminal minister, and even had an affair with his wife and elder brother Liao Chen, who is now four months pregnant.

All the ministers in the court hall were in an uproar. Sheng Qingsong, who had been greeted by Sheng Ruyue long ago, looked gloomy. He looked thoughtfully at the minister who stood up to impeach Qin Zhou with a dignified face, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The focus of this case is not on the logical relationship of the Liao family, but on Qin Zhou.

First of all, Qin Zhou, who is a daughter, has a reputation as a flower hunter, which is very uproarious and horrifying.

Although the emperor has now relaxed the restrictions on women, those who can really go out are a few high-ranking women, such as Sheng Qingzhu, such as the Yuanchun Anchun sisters, Ruan Qing, regardless of her husband's family Rongguo Mansion, they are also the four major families in the past One of the Wang family's prostitutes, so although many men are sympathetic, they are not jumping. After all, strictly speaking, they are people of the same class. If there is no such thing, they should be noble or noble, but Qin Zhou is different.

The Qin family was born in a small family with mud legs. When Qin Zhou was 11 years old, his elder brother offended a servant of the family and was seriously ill. The boy's twin sister took the place of his elder brother, studied the imperial examinations, and became a prostitute all the way, and married the official daughter of the Shangshu. What a scene, the result... The appearance of Qin Zhou represents that women from poor families can also take the imperial examinations, which is great for social stability. It is very unfavorable, if all the women go to study, and the low-level men can't get wives, how can they reproduce more offspring as their slaves?Although on the basis of the monopoly of the nobles, most men cannot marry wives, but there are still common wives and pawn wives. It doesn’t matter whether he has a wife or not, as long as he can give birth, it’s over. Birth means the population of the country, which is the prosperity of the dynasty. The strength of the army, but if all women are like Qin Zhou, then it's over!

Therefore, this time they jumped more firmly and grandly than ever.

Regardless of superiority or inferiority, this is a sign of subjugation!

Li Zhi took advantage of the opportunity and launched the improved land equalization system. Come on, don't you worry about taxes and population?

Courtiers: "..."

It's better to let Qin Zhou become the exception and continue to be special!

Divide the fields for women too, I'm afraid the dog emperor's brain is flooded!

As the saying goes, if most people don't agree to open the window, they pretend to want to lift the roof, so that others will agree to open the window.

At present, Li Zhi really has no idea of ​​directly transitioning to an equal society or even socialism.

After all, the old saying goes that if you walk too fast, it’s easy to tear your eggs. Now the productivity really can’t keep up, and the steam engine is still there. Now she just uses all the principles of tractors, trains, cars, and even helicopters and fighter jets. People and upper-class nobles believe it or not. Even if you believe it, you may not be able to use it on the right way. Some things are better to be explored and practiced by more insightful people.

Li Zhi sipped her tea, smiled at Sheng Qingsong, "I can't do it anymore, this prosperous world is still left to you and future generations to complete."

Because the frontier has changed again.

It's not that she didn't do well. In fact, there were frequent civil uprisings in many prosperous times. If the country is not invaded by foreign enemies and the treasury is full all the year round, then you can already be a wise monarch. After all, the feudal era is the era of nobles , already full of the bloody smell of the weak, it is a merit that the common people are not starved to death on a large scale. As for the death of a small-scale civil uprising, it may not be as eye-catching as the emperor's favoring a certain concubine in the history books.

It's just that Li Zhi comes from a modern society where everyone is equal. Seeing this situation, it's hard to feel comfortable.

Sheng Qingsong lowered his eyes and said warmly: "Father has the world in mind."

Li Zhi smiled, but did not answer.

In the end, Qin Zhou's matter was still a lot of thunder and rain, and her marriage with Liao Qing was declared invalid. Removing his and his father's official positions did not confiscate the Liao family's property.

However, Ms. Liao, Liao Qing, also expressed her stance that she would sever her ties with this unkind, filial and unkind brother. Once these words came out, Liao Chen's already ugly reputation was even worse.

Liao Chen fell ill and died within a few months. At this time, the princess mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons.A beam of joy.

At that time, Sheng Ruyue pleaded for Liao Chen, and many people scorned her, thinking that she was only a woman after all, and she could not escape the benevolence and love of a woman. She was tricked into this by Liao Chen, but it was not for him. Then they discovered that the Liao family Sheng Ruyue held her contacts and most of the family property in her hands. Even the last bit of incense in the Liao family, she wrote in advance to ask the emperor to give the child the surname Qin, but she didn't give it to Liao Chen at all.

Everyone: "..."

Immediately change your mind, what kind of woman's benevolence is obviously the most poisonous woman's heart!

Let them say everything.

Sheng Qingzhu still remembers now that the pedantic old man who praised his prosperity like a moon and tolerated his husband's three obediences and four virtues wanted to laugh when he saw that the other party brought two male pets to send invitations to invite others to her flower viewing party to celebrate the death of her husband. .

Sheng Ruyue lazily leaned on the couch, and said with a smile: "These sour scholars deserve it! I am they who can define me?"

"It's just that I didn't get stuck on myself." Sheng Qingzhu agreed very much, and asked, "Do you want to go to court with me?"

Sheng Ruyue leaned on the chair and pondered for a moment, then finally smiled and shook her head: "Forget it, I don't have that much ambition and ability, Qin Zhou and Liao Qing are both attached to me now, it is enough to have them, Liao Qing Although the brain is not good, but the education is enough, I can go to your academy to be a teacher."

Sheng Qingzhu also knew that everyone has their own ambitions, so he didn't force himself, so he responded with a smile.Sheng Ruyue stared at her profile and pondered for a long time, and finally asked: "Sister Huang will be 27 this year, right?"

Sheng Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why, do you want to urge the marriage? Did your concubine order you to come?"

Sheng Ruyue said: "Then you think too much, no one can order me, it's just that I was thinking, Miss Huang probably won't like someone, right?"

Sheng Qingzhu was taken aback for a moment, but she was a little hesitant. She didn't know why she hesitated, but she subconsciously didn't want to answer this question, so she said vaguely: "...I'm so busy, how can I have time to think about it?"

Sheng Ruyue didn't take it seriously at first, and leaned lazily, but when she heard this, she suddenly became nervous, sat up straight and asked, "But Lou Xi, the son of Marquis of Jinyang?"

Sheng Qingzhu was taken aback for a moment, and he couldn't help but become speechless: "...I haven't seen him a few times, okay?"

Sheng Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "...Yes, I'm really dazed."

She thought, in fact, there is no evidence to prove that it is the future prophecy. In fact, except for the Liao family, few things are right.

Sheng Ruyue had a nightmare on the night when the emperor gave her marriage to Liao's house.She dreamed that she married Liao Chen, but she was keenly aware that her husband didn't love her.But whose marriage is not like this, there is no precedent for a princess and divorce in this dynasty, the emperor has too many children, except for the prince, he doesn't have the energy to care about each of them.

The days went on in such a muddle, one day news came from the Qin family that Liao Qing was pregnant, but she realized that her husband was out of her mind, especially Liao Chen, who had always been close to this brother-in-law after Qin Zhou made a mistake and was dismissed from office. He actually rejected her idea of ​​helping to clear it up, and remained uncharacteristically silent.

It was at that time that she realized the truth and realized Qin Zhou's identity, but in such a big environment, she dared not and couldn't make a fuss, so she remained in a daze for the rest of her life.At the end of the day, Qin Zhou and Liao Chen turned against each other.

Because Sheng Ruyue's son fell in love with Qin Zhou's daughter.

This is a complete tragedy.

Although it was just a dream, Sheng Ruyue was as tired as if she had lived a lifetime after waking up from the big dream. Even though her environment was more enlightened than in the dream, even though the emperor didn't have so many children, she was still uneasy, especially It was she who just remembered that Sheng Qingzhu in the dream ended up dying in the dungeon because the crown prince was deposed. She did something to anger the emperor and committed suicide.

Yes ah, really bewildered.

The prince is the emperor's favorite son, how could he be deposed?

Her mood went up and down, and she felt a little tired for a while, so she talked to Sheng Qingzhu, waved her hands and summoned two male pets, and went back to her room with a yawn.

In the final analysis, Sheng Ruyue was still affected by the dream, and she was always the woman who was suppressed by the social environment for a lifetime of three obediences and four virtues. Even if she broke through the shackles of those pedantic thoughts, she still had more pleasure than ambition.

Sheng Qingzhu didn't care about her strangeness. Not only was Sheng Ruyue happy when her husband died, but she was also in a good mood.This incident seems to be just Qin Zhou's luck. With the second princess interceding, not only can he keep his fame, but he can even pass the imperial examination and other crimes of deceiving the emperor. But for them, especially for ordinary women at the bottom, But it is a signal.

A signal that as long as you work hard, you can get rid of marrying and having children, and you will be tied to a man for the rest of your life.

Although it doesn't look very obvious now, as long as there is this beginning, more and more people realize this, but it is only a matter of time.

Sheng Qingzhu was not interested in viewing flowers, so before leaving, he asked Ruan Qing who was also not interested.

To be honest, Ruan Qing was not very interested. She came here for Qin Zhou this time. After successfully confirming Qin Zhou's thoughts and positions, she concentrated on eating contentedly. However, visiting someone else's house is definitely not as comfortable as her own. , so when Sheng Qingzhu asked, she answered without hesitation.

"Pearl still said she would come to pick me up," Ruan Qing said before getting into the carriage, "Now that I'm leaving early, I should ask someone to tell him."

Sheng Qingzhu didn't know why, he obviously didn't take Sheng Ruyue's words to heart, but now facing Ruan Qing, he suddenly felt a little guilty.She hurriedly said: "Madam, just answer it, I'll ask someone to talk about it."

Ruan Qing thought for a while, and this is true. Since Bai Ling's death, she has never been used to being brought up. This time, she didn't bring a few. Jia Zhu may not recognize it. It is safer to let Sheng Qingzhu's people stay.

So he nodded and said, "Then please trouble Your Highness."

Sheng Qingzhu was going to be in a mess, so he barely smiled back at her, and got into the carriage in a trance.

Then forget about it.

So after resigning from office, Jia Zhu, who was starving and busy without stopping, heard that the servants of the second princess's mansion said that Ruan Qing had left long ago. At that time: "?"

He was not a very temperamental person at first, so he just sighed when he heard the words, without thinking or asking, and walked back with sullen head, who knows that before he went back and changed his clothes, he would talk to Ruan Qing as usual Greetings, Baoyu ushered in the heart-piercing cry.

The white cat who lived in Rongguo Mansion for more than 20 years passed away.

It is said that cats will find a place to hide before they die, so that no one will find their traces, but it is the master's favorite pet after all, and the servants who see it running around will touch it and take it back to the inner courtyard , I don’t know if it’s the reason, but it just didn’t go out, and died quietly on the flower bed where it usually sleeps the most.

Ruan Qing also just returned from greeting Ann in Jia Mu's yard. When she went out, someone reported that Second Master Bao was crying. She thought that he had been wronged somewhere or had quarreled with Daiyu, but she didn't take it too seriously. After changing his clothes, he was ready to go to the outer courtyard to have a look, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Baoyu crying so miserably, and he was immediately stunned. It seemed that he had never cried like this except because of Daiyu, right?

Jia Zhu comforted him for a long time before Baoyu recovered from his sobs and choking, but when he saw Ruan Qing coming out, his eyes turned red and he was about to cry again.

However, he couldn't cry.

It is impossible for Baoyu to touch dead animals. The servants have already taken the white cat away. He can only hold the small cat nest, try to raise his head to look at Ruan Qing, and say intermittently: "Madam, I now know what you meant by what you said that day."

Ruan Qing was startled, and suddenly thought of the life she had mentioned before, and was speechless for a while.The main reason is that she also forgot that there are not only people with long-lived lives around Baoyu who have feelings, but also a cat with a short-lived life.

Baoyu asked: "Everyone will leave me eventually, won't they?"

She couldn't answer these words, the corners of Ruan Qing's mouth twitched, but she couldn't say anything in the end.

But Baoyu didn't seem to need her to answer.He seemed to have finally calmed down, and he was no longer overwhelmed with grief.

He went back to his room and was bored for a long time. He didn't know what the reason for the boredom was. After he went out, he took out a letter and asked someone to give it to Daiyu. He dug a small hole under a tree, and watched with his own eyes that the servants put the white cat into a coffin and buried it in the loess.

The white cat used to love basking in the sun with its tail flicking under that tree, Baoyu thought, it should also hope that its home is here.

Then he said, "Good night, Meow. May you be happy in your next life."

Ruan Qing stood behind him and remained silent.Sometimes, she also thinks that people are very interesting creatures. They know that the dead are dead, and those who leave can never come back, but they still firmly believe that the other party exists in another form.

The death of a cat is not an important matter to the Rongguo Mansion, except for a few little girls who took care of her crying, only Baoyu has been secretly wiping away tears, and even Jiazhu just sighed, nothing. reaction.

It seems that the older a person grows, the colder his heart becomes.

But this calm didn't last long, because soon Rongguo Mansion became lively again.

——Because Baoyu didn't know what stimulated her, she insisted on going out alone.
