    After exchanging greetings, Ma Yicheng invited everyone to sit down, and Xiaoer brought up the dishes one by one.  Ma Yicheng said to Yang Ling again: "Yang Xiucai, I would like to call you a good nephew. My son has a rough temper and often causes troubles for the old man. This time, if it is not for Yang Xian  Nephew Miaoji, Master Min's kindness, the dog will be sued for life."

    Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Where is that? That day my nephew could see clearly that Brother Ma had never done anything to that Boss Wang. Speaking of it, he was really greedy and harmful. That Boss Wang was greedy for Miss Ma's pearls, and Brother Ma grabbed him.  Theoretically, it wasn't Brother Ma's fault that he died of shame and anger, and Master Ma must not be too harsh on Brother Ma."

    Ma Ang immediately said: "Father, you don't believe what I told my sister, but you should believe Brother Yang's words, right? I never beat that old man."

    "Shut up! You little bastard, how can you interrupt!" Ma Yicheng scolded his son, shook his head at Min County Magistrate, Huang County Cheng and Yang Ling: "Look, look, this little bastard is not doing enough and is a failure."  I have more things to do, how can I compare with Nephew Yang Xian, who is a few years younger than my son, but he is calm and sophisticated, and has already achieved fame before he is weak. Alas, Zhuojing died early.  It is so ignorant to be disciplined by others.¡±

    The county magistrate of Min, the magistrate of Huang County, and Yang Ling inevitably explained for Ma Ang again. While they were talking here, the little second over there brought up the banquet like flowing water.  After a while, there were more and more people in the theater, sitting around the private room were businessmen who passed by the post station on foot, and in remote places in the distance were some post envoys, long husbands, and improper errands who came to pass the time with nothing to do.  Yamen servant.

    The lights on the stage in front were brightly lit, and with the sound of gongs and drums, the actors invited by the theater began to sing on the stage.  At that time, there was no talk about Beijing opera, Yang Ling didn't know opera, and it was inconvenient to ask people about it. After listening to a few words, he really didn't understand too much. In addition, the opera actors at that time were all men, and they wanted to see beautiful women for their eyes.  It didn't work, Yang Ling was very bored, but after listening to County Magistrate Min, Ma Yicheng, and Huang Xiancheng watching and talking, he understood the general idea.

    After listening to the story told by the two of them, Yang Ling just found it unbelievable. This play is about a woman who left home shortly after she married her husband.

    It took several years for the husband to return to his hometown. When he was about to get home, he met a very beautiful woman picking mulberries. He was moved by the beauty of this woman, so he stepped forward to molested him.  After refuting it, he felt bored, so he returned home in despair.

    Unexpectedly, when he went home, he saw that his wife was the woman he had failed to moleste just now. He felt very ashamed and admired her from the bottom of his heart.

    There is nothing wrong with the story up to this point, but on the second day of the stage performance, the wife was crying at home, wrote a suicide note, and even hanged herself.  Evil thoughts made her chastity ashamed, so she could no longer live in the world, and had to die to preserve her chastity.

    In the end, this incident caused a sensation in the village, all parties wrote letters, and the emperor issued an imperial decree. This chaste and strong woman was posthumously named a first-class imperial wife, and the emperor gave her a "chaste memorial arch". Her husband was grateful for his wife, and later married his wife.  The husband and wife also went to the grave to worship together.

    This Hongyan Building is a complex of opera gardens and restaurants, so the performance of the play is not so compact. After a period of rest between the play, Min and Ma began to talk with relish, Huang Xiancheng took a sip of wine,  Insert a couple of sentences from time to time.  Although he didn't talk much, he was a scholar after all, so he could always say what County Magistrate Min wanted to say but couldn't.

    However, Yang Ling felt that the play was too unreal. The most outrageous thing he had ever heard was that a woman fell into the water one day, and was rescued by a passing man who grabbed her arm.  When I got home, I cut off my own arm with a kitchen knife, just because it was touched by a man who was not my husband.

    But if it is considered "lost virginity", after all, it is a physical loss of virginity. The woman in this play can't bear to "lost virginity" mentally.  She's beautiful, it's just that other people have become lustful, the man has no crime, but the wife feels that she is not good enough, which is simply unreasonable.

    Hearing that County Magistrate Min and Ma Yicheng were still full of praise, Yang Ling finally couldn't help but said, "My lords, this scene is too exaggerated, isn't it? Her husband flirts with beautiful women on the way. Such behavior  Misbehavior, being scolded and leaving, in the end the wife felt that she was not chaste.  What catches your eyes?"

    Ma Yicheng said in surprise: "Why, nephew Yang Xian is reading the books of sages and sages, so he doesn't know the stories in "Biography of Martyrs"? What's wrong with that?"Affect your reputation, the so-called deep responsibility of love, don't be too angry."

    Ma Lian'er looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, and said softly: "What do you think of a woman in this world? Sacrificial husband, a martyrdom woman, is a good woman who can be praised and praised.  It explains the virtues of women, and even more so, the greatness of men, and shows that he is worthy of women's sacrifices for him, but what did he do for women?

    Treating women as a man's private property, not only concubines, but also wives, I listened to "Three Kingdoms", Taoyuan three knots, the first thing is to kill their wives and children, do they have affection for their wives?  Liu Bei regards his wife as clothes, and Orion Liu An treats his wife as a dish, kills and entertains guests. Are these people or beasts?

    Water never tires of being clean, and women never tire of cleanliness.  do you know?  My mother was forced to death by my father. At that time, he was still a brave soldier. My mother took my brother and me alone, and lived a very difficult life. Later, the robbers from the nearby mountains came down to rob, and my mother took me and me.  The elder brother escaped by hiding in the water tank. The robber raped her, but he was kind enough not to kill her. As a result, she was not killed by the robber's knife, but was taken care of by her father and the robbers in the village.  The white eyes of the escaped man stared to death.  "

    Yang Ling was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "Preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires, starvation to death is a small matter, but injustice is a major matter. What Zhu Xi and Master Zhu said may not be right, but this world belongs to men, so it is right."  He thought of his own time, shook his head and said: "Not only is it true now, hundreds of years later, there will still be many men who believe in it, but this kind of truth is only for women.

    Ma Lianer sneered and said: "Zhu Xi? He talked about 'natural principles' and closed his mouth about 'Taoism', but he seduced two nuns as concubines, and his widowed daughter-in-law was also taken by him. He is really a model of morality.  A role model. What a great irony."

    Yang Ling only knew that the great defense of ethics was carried forward by Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty. Since then, women who died for martyrdom have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. He didn't know that Zhu Xi still had such "love affairs".

    He couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Since men have the final say in this world, it's not surprising that Taoism has different requirements for men and women. If a man's dignity is insulted, it's a reckless attempt to endure humiliation, as long as he repays it in the future."  If you have revenge, then you can feel proud, no one will care how shameless he was, even if he ate feces in a voluntary flattery, and a woman, even if she is forced to lose her morals, is an unforgivable sin!".

    Ma Lian'er turned her head suddenly, looked at him in surprise with eyes brighter than the stars, and said after a while: "You are the first man today, especially a scholar, who can say such a thing. I really can't think of your age.  Gentle, I have read those 'Books of Sages' for so long, to have such insight,, what a pity, what a pity".

    Yang Ling couldn't help asking, "What's the pity?"

    Ma Lian'er turned her head, and quietly said: "Huanjun's Pearl is crying, I wish I could meet you when you were not married".

    Yang Ling's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became stiff. After a long while, he forced a smile, joking to ease the atmosphere and said: "Although you and I met by fate because of your pearl, I can  I never gave you a pearl, Miss, please don¡¯t misunderstand.¡±

    Ma Lian'er smiled, turned her head and gave him a charming look, bit her lip, said boldly with a blushing face, "That's because you are unlucky," and looked at his tall nose bridge under the shadow of the lamp  , Ma Lian'er's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head away again, only feeling a charming atmosphere spreading between the two of them.

    She gently wiped away the cold tears on her face, and said: "When others treat me well, I treat them well. Ever since my mother died, I, Ma Lian'er, feel that there is no man in this world who is worthy of the great efforts we women make."  I will not be that stupid woman on the stage, I will live a good life for myself!"

    Yang Ling was obsessed with the beauty that emerged from her self-confidence and arrogance, and after a while he sighed softly: "You were born too early, you should have been born five hundred years later, really!"

    Ma Lianer blinked her big beautiful eyes, and asked strangely: "Do you think my words are rebellious and shocking? Is it okay to say that five hundred years later?"

    Yang Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly said haha, "I just thought, maybe at that time, some men would regard women as independent existences and demand them equally.  And let it go."

    Ma Lian'er smiled slightly, reached into her bosom, took out the purse, stepped forward and stuffed it into Yang Ling's hand, and said, "I can see that your little wife loves you very much, this pearl is a gift from me."  Your gift, I only hope that you treat your wife well and don't treat her badly."

    The purse in her hand still carried her body temperature and faint fragrance. When Ma Lianer saw him in a daze, she giggled, pulled her hair and said, "Let's go, let's go back. I'm just sad, not angry. After all, I said yes."  It doesn't make sense, how many of you men understand the sadness of a woman?" She glanced out of the corner of her eyes, and she found that Huang Xiancheng was chasing him out, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand and walked in.

    It took Yang Ling a while to wake up, and when he turned back, he saw Huang Qiyin, the magistrate of the county, smiled meaningfully at himself, made a false gesture of please, then smiled slightly, and clapped his hands in answer.  Very familiar.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)?
