TSBFL Chapter 83:
Chapter 83.3: 惡心
[Disgust]
In the end, it was the little girl dressed in green who spoke first, “Zhou Jie Jie, this story is so meaningless, why does the village wife have to give up her position when the scholar boy fell in love with the rich lady?”
Young Miss Zhou smiled and didn’t say anything, but Miss Qian beside her opened her mouth, “Originally it was the village wife who wanted to blackmail the scholar for marriage, and then he met the one he liked, so why can’t they be together?”
“If you ask me, these stories are all made up by those poor and pedantic scholars, just to fulfill their fantasies.” Another young lady, who looked a few years older, spoke up, with a sarcastic tone: “If that peasant woman was not a peasant woman at the beginning, but a rich lady, would she have looked at that poor scholar and married him? Even if she had married him, would he have dared to abandon her when he made rapid advances in one’s career or had a meteoric rise?”
As soon as her words were uttered, the people in the carriage fell silent for a while, seemingly thinking that she had some truth in what she said.
“Qin Jie Jie does have some truth in her words, but there are also good men in this world!” The little girl dressed in green opened her mouth and timidly refuted.
The young lady who was called Qin Jie Jie looked at the innocent young girl, stretched out her slender finger to poke her forehead, and said in a serious tone: “Qing Er ah, don’t read too many book, don’t think that there are a lot of lovey-dovey men in the storybooks and think that all those poor scholars are good, they are easily infatuated by others and that you won’t even have a place to cry if he changes his heart (breaks faith/ like another person) that day. ”
“Qin Jie Jie, you’re not ashamed to say that!” Qing Er blushed at Qin Jie Jie’s words, and pushed her arm, acting as a spoiled child as she said.
Qin Jie Jie snorted with laughter and said straightforwardly, “Shame on you? There is nothing to be ashamed of, there are only a few of us here, what can’t we say? What’s more, I’m treating you as my own sister, that’s why I’m giving you these words.
If I may say so, in a family like ours, the best thing is to have a well-matched marriage in social and economic status. If it’s not, then pick someone you can handle or control so that even if he doesn’t like you anymore, he won’t dare to abandon you for the rest of his life.”
This dynasty is open to the public, the requirements for women are not harsh, so the point ‘men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things (citation, from Mencius)’ is not a big problem in their view, the rest of the several ladies in the carriage, although they do not say it on their lips, but they still secretly agree with her point of view in their hearts. However, they soon started to talk about other topics.
Only Chen Ling Er, who was sitting silently in the corner, listened to Qin Jie Jie’s words, and in her heart she always thought of her last sentence, “You have to pick someone you can hold, so that even if he doesn’t like you, he will never dare to negatively affect you.”
When she thought of this sentence, Chen Ling Er’s eyes always surfaced in front of Gu Lang’s cold and indifferent face. When she returned home, also because she was thinking of this matter, she didn’t have much expression.
“Miss, what’s wrong with you?” The maid who served her, looking at her dumbfounded, unblinking eyes, couldn’t help but ask out loud.
Chen Ling Er violently turned her head to look at her. The frightened maid took a step back and timidly said, “Young Miss.”
Chen Ling Er, however, revealed a smile towards her, “You go and help me to secretly spy on one thing, remember to be careful and don’t draw other people’s attention.”
That maid looked at her own young lady’s serious face, cautiously nodded her head, and seriously said, “Young lady, I will be careful.”
After the maid left, Chen Ling Er returned to her dressing table, looking at the jewelry on it, a few moments of calculation appeared in her eyes.
After the maid left the young lady’s room and thought it over from different angles, she went to the kitchen and bought a chicken, then combined it with a bottle of soju and came to the old grandma who was in charge of the staff in the courtyard.
The old grandma looked at her and lifted her eyelids with some impatience, and then impatiently said, “Zhu Er, you are not serving beside young miss, what are you doing by coming here?”
Zhu Er wasn’t afraid of her and picked up the roast chicken and soju in her hand and waved them in front of her eyes, then looked at her and said, “Last time, Grandma you helped me, so I’ve come here to thank you.”
Grandma’s eyes lit up when she looked at the two distinct things and then her face became a little more enthusiastic as she waved her hand towards Zhu Er and said, “You, this girl, you already come here, why do you bring wine ah!? Hurry up and bring it over to grandma so grandma can taste it.”
“Hey, grandma, I’ll fill it up for you.” Zhu Er opened the paper bag and poured the wine for her grandma and then watched her eat it (in strong wind scattering the last clouds—make a clean sweep of sth.) and was in an extremely great mood.
After three rounds of wine, looking at the old grand-mom’s oily face, Zhu Er softly said, “Grandma, do you know what grandpa has been doing lately?”
If there is anyone who knows the most about what’s going on in this courtyard, it’s the old grandma. Everything can’t escape from her eyes, plus her son is also benefited by living with his grandfather so she knows a lot of things.
