Looking at the women beside him, Shangguan Hongye pointed his whip at several civilian couples in the distance with joy: "Look at those traffickers and lackeys, who are different from us nobles and royals who only care about family status and power, and have no sincerity.
Yeah?"
Ming Lanruo followed the situation and saw that several civilian couples were carrying things and children on the roadside in the distance, as if they were preparing to go into the city to do business.
Watching the couple pulling each other, feeding each other, wiping sweat, talking and laughing, they were extremely affectionate.
But Shangguan Hongye sneered and said: "No, all men in the world are the same. It's just because those ordinary men don't have the ability to have the same status as us and get more and better women, so they just stay around and get what they can."
woman."
"If they are too ambitious and like a noble lady, they won't even have any children, because they are not worthy of it, and they can't get a noble lady."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes at the civilians and suddenly threw a Western monocular telescope to Ming Lanruo: "But even so, they are still sneaking around and having affairs with other women. If you don't believe it, take a closer look?"
Ming Lanruo took it and looked at the civilian couples on the roadside with the monocular.
Sure enough, I saw one of the men secretly flirting with a woman next to his wife, picking her palms, and secretly stuffing an apple into the woman's face.
Shangguan Hongye smiled: "See? This is human nature. Men like them at the bottom can still cheat, but they can't afford to have mistresses. But once they have the opportunity, they will climb high. Otherwise, think about the stories you have read through the ages.
"The Butterfly Lovers", "Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies", "The West Chamber"...which of them are not the delusions of these lower-class men?"
Ming Lanruo looked at him without saying a word. She actually had some thoughts on what he said.
But for the first time, she heard a bit of analysis from the mouth of a high-ranking man, but it was a different kind of enlightening feeling.
Shangguan Hongye said lazily: "Those classic legends are all about poor boys climbing high branches, because these stories are made up by poor men, and you women only see the undying love in them."
"But we men can see the pleasure of climbing up to a rich girl, or even a fairy, and we can gain power and money, become a master, and get rid of our original destiny and class."
He said contemptuously: "The men in these books know that they are not worthy of the ladies, and that what they do will ruin the reputation of the woman and even the woman's family, but they still cling to those ladies to death.
Die together, because that is their most likely chance to change their destiny and become prosperous."
Liang Shanbo in Liang Zhuli was a poor scholar, and Dong Yong was a poor scholar or even a cowherd.
Zhang Sheng in the West Chamber even abandoned Yingying, a merchant girl, after he passed the Jinshi examination in other miscellaneous notes.
"Have you ever seen any storybook where it is written that a man with a high position married a peasant girl and the merchant's youngest daughter became the head wife and clan wife?" Shangguan Hongye chuckled.
Ming Lanruo thought about it for a long time, but she really didn't come up with it.
She looked at Shangguan Hongye with complicated eyes: "His Highness's words today are quite clear."
"Because from ancient times to the present, men have always lived more clearly than women, because since we were born, we have been taught to fight, learn, and face more battles, especially our royal family."
Shangguan Hongye didn't hide anything and said with a smile.
Ordinary men are taught to take care of the family and take exams to improve themselves; businessmen are taught to do everything possible to make profits.
The sons of emperors, generals, ministers and nobles were faced with the distinction between concubines and concubines at birth, and they had to learn how to seize more power.
He said frankly: "And even if you aristocratic women are taught to be wives, you are limited to how to run the family in the back house, control the middle child, stabilize the concubine, have more children, and stabilize the rear for your husband."
Then, he pointed the whip in the direction of the common people, "Those women from small families are only addicted to love and love, and only want to marry a good husband. But how did they know that these men wrote these stories?
The purpose??”
Ming Lanruo had a complicated mood. She looked at him for a long time and smiled softly: "Yes, why not?"
Su Shi wrote - "Ten years of life and death are boundless! If you don't think about it, you will never forget it. A lonely tomb thousands of miles away, there is no place to talk about desolation."
But who knew that when he wrote these words in memory of his late wife, he had enchanting concubines serving the pen and ink, and a thin Yangzhou horse serving the bed.
Qin Guan wrote - "If the love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?"
But who knew that he wrote this poem to get rid of a courtesan in a brothel. The poet had promised to redeem the girl, but the girl spent all his money for him and died silently.
In this world, behind the most touching poems are the most unbearable vulgarities and cruelties, the trampled and broken hearts and souls of women.
There are only a few girls like her in the world whose father is enlightened and trained as an heir.
But when everyone around her felt that it was right for a woman to have a sweetheart whom she loved deeply, be loved and cherished deeply, and bear children for him. This chapter has been completed!
