   Sent Zhao Ning away, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu sat at the table silently looking at each other, the outside world seemed a little unexpected.

   Through the half-night conversation, Gu Jingyun not only had a preliminary understanding of the "customs" of the outside world, but also some basic common sense and the current situation in the court.

Qin Xinfang had been away from the political center for too long, and Qiongzhou had moved away from the mainland. Even if there was a communication with friends, there was very little information exchanged. Most of the information was concentrated on the prince who was reprimanded by the emperor, and his power shrank; or which minister the fourth prince got. What kind of slander did Concubine Lan Gui give to the emperor; or if something happened at a certain time in a certain place, who would the court send to relieve the disaster, and if someone’s term of office was about to come, if I wanted to seek a certain position, I asked Uncle Qin’s Opinion…

   No one will write a letter to tell Qin Xinfang that all women's schools are canceled, and that women in the family must wear a hat when they go out.

   But the world has changed little by little. Qin Xinfang and He Zipei have only been in exile for fourteen years, and the outside world has changed.

   In this way, the students they teach are somewhat out of tune with the outside world.

  The defense of men and women in Great Chu was much stricter than that of the previous dynasty. It should be said that since Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism prevailed, the behavior of women has been more restrained, but it is far less serious than it is today.

He Zipei and Qin Xinfang are considered to be in a free relationship. Both of them are the best students of Qingxi Academy, but one is a female student and the other is a male student. The parents proposed marriage only after the two had a good impression of each other. At that time, many people were This combination shows the prosperity of women's studies and the freedom of love at that time.

   So the two of them put the two children together to teach, let them read and write together, and go out to play alone together.

   On the other hand, Qiongzhou is remote, and the defense between men and women is much lighter than that of the outside world. Women can work in the fields, or run businesses or take over jobs outside, but on the mainland it is much stricter.

  According to Zhao Ning, his sisters also read and read with him when he was a child, but he didn't know when his parents began to restrain his sisters. He just thought that the sisters were about to start getting married, but he didn't care.

However, the requirements for the defense of men and women outside are becoming more and more strict. In the past, women in Huizhou went out and went out to meet two or three friends. However, I don’t know when women have to wear hats when they go out. , in the end, you must be accompanied by an elder before you can go out...

  In the past, sisters in the family also wore hoods when they went out. Although they also meant to cover up their appearance, most of them were to cover up the wind and dust.

  These changes are subtle, so Zhao Ning didn't feel that something was wrong, but Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were not. They had been living in a relaxed environment before, but suddenly fell into this harsh outside world, and they couldn't accept it for a while.

  Li Baolu asked hesitantly, "This means that I can't go out with you and have to stay indoors to sew and mend?"

  Gu Jingyun rolled his eyes and said, "Can you sit still?"

   Staying in a place like a bird cage and can't go out, talking to a man with his head down to avoid... Li Baolu couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth and shook her head.

   "Why should we care about other people's opinions? Just know what's going on." Gu Jingyun paused and warned, "Don't hold my hand outside in the future, or others will misunderstand your identity."

  Li Baolu sighed, "I just want to know who canceled the girls' school and stepped on the girls in the mud like this."

   "Oh, I know this, it's your common enemy." Gu Jingyun looked at her with a smile and said word by word: "Concubine Lan!"

  Li Baolu opened her mouth and said, "She, isn't she a girl too?"

"The most famous women's school in Beijing is the Qingxi Women's School, and the head of the Qingxi Academy is the Queen's cousin. In other words, the women's school is just an excuse for her to suppress the Queen's family, and the Queen is also from the Qingxi Women's School. , It is said that, like my aunt, when I was young, I was the best in the capital, and no one can surpass it, so it is easy for you to change the status quo. clear.

   In the end, the decline of women's status and the increase of men's and women's defenses are just the result of the game of the superiors. As long as the superiors change their attitudes, the secular atmosphere can be changed at any time.

   Gu Jingyun, who is familiar with history, also thought that even if the secular world becomes women superior to men, there is nothing wrong, as long as there are two or three female emperors.

   Li Baolu obviously thought of this, she looked at Gu Jingyun with bright eyes and said, "So our future depends on the crown prince?"

"It looks like this at the moment. The second prince, Chengjun Wang, injured his face on the battlefield, and it is impossible for him to take the throne. The third prince has not yet been crowned a king. His uncle said that he is weak and incompetent. , the fifth prince is in the line of the fourth prince, Rongwang, and the sixth prince has not yet reached the crown. At present, it seems to be very similar to the trend of the second prince." Gu Jingyun said: "When Concubine Zhao gave birth, your grandfather tried his best to protect their mother and son, Concubine Zhao. But you are not even willing to ask for love for your grandfather, such a person is not worthy of cooperation, and only the prince is suitable."

  Gu Jingyun sighed and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that the prince is in poor health."

   Qin Xinfang used to be the young master of the prince and taught for him. The two are of the same age and feel good about each other as both teachers and friends.

Although Gu Jingyun had never met the prince, he knew from his uncle that the prince was a broad-minded and talented person. He was awarded the title of prince at the age of eight, and he taught him the standard of a future monarch since he was a child. Otherwise, when Concubine Lan Gui framed the prince to rebel Uncle will not fight against the guilt with all his strength.

  The Qin family was tied to the prince. In the absence of other suitable heirs, Gu Jingyun could only choose to continue to be with the prince.

Gu Jingyun thought about this before leaving Qiongzhou, but now there is one more reason. For the sake of their future life and for the freedom of their daughters in the future, the fourth prince from Concubine Lan Gui could not be on board. throne.

   Gu Jingyun decided on his future goals and then put it aside. He relaxedly said to Li Baolu, "What happened in the past, what will happen in the future, just don't seem so intimate outside."

   "Are you going to be a lunatic?" That disregarded the worldly gaze.

  Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "There's nothing wrong with being a madman, you can do whatever you want, as long as you have talent, who can say anything?"

   Li Baolu felt really happy when she thought about it, "Then if you work hard, I won't have to worry about being locked up."

   "But if you can, you should wear a hood when you go out."

  Li Baolu asked happily, "Don't you want my appearance to be seen?"

"No, you are too dark, you should take good care of your skin, especially when standing with me, everyone thinks that you are my maid, and I think it is too much to explain that you are my wife when I see everyone. trouble."

  Li Baolu: "…"

Before going to bed at night, Li Baolu sat in front of the bronze mirror for a while without moving. She kept touching her face. Where is this black? It is obviously a bronze complexion. Because of her young age, her skin is delicate and elastic. Where did it go wrong?

Whether she used to be very white or not, it's all my master's fault. Since her kung fu has improved rapidly, he has been disliked by her and dragged her to fight outside every day. The sun in Qiongzhou is so strong that it can be tanned even in winter. People are dizzy, she has been in the sun for more than half a year, how can it not be dark?

  Li Baolu held her face sadly and did not speak.

Gu Jingyun put away the things on the desk and lay back on the bed. Seeing that she was still holding her face and didn't speak, she laughed and said: "Okay, I don't dislike you, so hurry up and sleep, tomorrow we will go to Guangzhou for a walk. , it is good to be familiar with Guangzhou.”

   "You made me wear a veil, yet you dare to say that you don't dislike me, hum, hypocrite!"

   "Then do you want to wear a hood?"

"Without!"

Gu Jingyun shrugged, "Look, I didn't force you to bring it, it's not that I dislike you, it's just that I suggest you bring it, because it looks like you and I will match a lot, and people won't think you're the one when they see you. my maid."

   Li Baolu accused: "You still think I'm not worthy of you."

  Gu Jingyun opened his mouth and felt his uncle's sigh for the first time in his life, "Sometimes a woman is very unreasonable, even if she is a calm and self-sufficient girl."

  Gu Jingyun closed his mouth and looked at Li Baolu quietly with a pitiful expression.

   Li Baolu probably also realized that she was a little unreasonable, so she coughed lightly and waved her hand: "Okay, my lady has forgiven you a lot, so go to sleep."

Gu Jingyun confirmed that Li Baolu was back to normal. It wasn't that she lay down and went to sleep contentedly after being angry. It seems that Baolu is better than her aunt. Last time, my aunt was angry with my uncle for three days, and my uncle slept in the study for three days. ,very pitiful!
