Chapter 232: Half the Sky
"Well, that's fine. In the past few years, I have been tired of watching him, and now it is like this, which is good. ”
Qin Keqing's simple and reasonable explanation made Jia Mu's brows stretch.
Compared with the honest You family, Jia Mu obviously prefers Qin Keqing, who is mellow, graceful, and dexterous.
"Well, look how happy the sisters are, go too.
I'm old, just let me rest here, play as you want, and leave me alone. Otherwise, not only will you be bored, but I will not be at ease. ”
Mother Jia was very happy when she saw the grandchildren and maids frolicking on the side, and occasionally she could see the bright smiles on their faces. She liked such a lively and wealthy scene, so she instructed Qin Keqing and the others.
"Yes."
So except for the maid, everyone dispersed, Mrs. Wang and the others returned to their seats, and Qin Keqing, You Shi, Li Kun and other younger ones talked and laughed and went to Jia Qing and them.
"Second brother, your first mystery is easy to solve, but this second one, I really can't figure it out."
As soon as Li Kun came over, he heard Tanchun say this, so he asked, "What kind of mystery is the second brother, can't so many of you solve it?" ”
When the sisters saw Li Kun and others coming, they all consciously gave way to their positions.
Li Kun took a closer look and read out the riddle on the lantern:
"Since I was a child, I was born in a wealthy family, and I often go in and out to enjoy glory. Long live has also passed on the holy decree, and generations of children and grandchildren have been exploring flowers. Hit a living creature. ”
After Li Kun finished reading, he just muttered to himself. Qin Keqing, who came with her, suddenly said, "This is a bee?" ”
Everyone nodded yes. Li Kun thought about it, isn't it! So, let's move on to the following mystery:
"Since ancient times, it has not been simple, and some people have mountains. The mountain falls and the people stand upright, and they can hold up half the sky...... Typing. ”
After reading it, I fell into thought. At this time, no one answered.
Jia Qing laughed secretly on the side. If in the future life, as soon as the words "can hold up half the sky" appear, others will immediately think of the answer.
Fortunately, there was no such well-known saying at this time.
Seeing that the sisters and relatives who usually call themselves talented women were all pondering for a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of Jia Qing's mouth. No, Daiyu, who was turning her head over, looked at her.
"Look at the appearance of the second brother, for such a puzzled mystery!
We couldn't guess, and asked the second brother to 'teach', so that we could learn something. ”
Daiyu's words resonated with everyone, and they all asked Jia Qing to say the answer.
So Jia Qing stepped forward, put a pen under the riddle, and gently inscribed a word.
Then the sisters scrambled a little to watch, but it was the word "woman".
"The first three sentences are easy to understand, how to solve this last sentence?"
After a long time, it was Daiyu who took the lead in asking.
Li Kunyou and other real women were even more curious, and said: "Yes, this is always said that when a man does things outside, the wealth and safety of the family are all tied to the hands of the man, and it has nothing to do with the woman, and the woman cannot interfere with half a step."
How can there be such a half the sky? ”
Jia Qing said with a smile: "Since I have only paid attention to the distinction between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, I have no reason that my sister-in-law said that the safety of the family is completely dependent on the hands of men."
As everyone knows, there has always been a saying that 'if there is a good wife in the family, the husband will not suffer misfortune'. It can be seen that the status of women in the family is even more important than that of men! ”
This topic was a little difficult, so several sisters who had not yet come out of the cabinet were silent and listened to Jia Qing's "high theory" silently. However, Li Kun, You Shi and others were completely attracted to the topic and asked:
"However, all the wealth and wealth of a family do come from men, and we women can only deal with some trivial matters at home, and the rest can't ......."
Jia Qing said seriously: "This is not right! ”
"What's wrong?" Everyone was amazed.
"Women can't earn riches and money, not because they can't do it, but because they sacrifice their time to do these things and devote all of them to their husbands and children.
Imagine, if it weren't for the women who sacrificed all this and silently handled the affairs of the family for the men, so that they could work hard outside wholeheartedly, would they really be able to do things outside?
Let's just talk about having a baby, we men can't do it at all......"
"Phew!"
Originally, everyone listened to what he said earlier, and it seemed to make sense. The key is that listening to Jia Qing's tone, it seems that there is no idea of male superiority and inferiority of women at all.
Who knows, he suddenly said such a sentence that should never be put on the table, or in front of them, and I don't know if he said it unintentionally or deliberately to make fun of the lively atmosphere......
Jia Qing saw that everyone was blushing because of his words, and knew that it was inappropriate to go deeper, so he hurriedly ended his speech:
"So, I'm right when I say that women can hold up half the sky!"
Xue Baochai hadn't spoken for a long time, and had been standing quietly on the periphery, silently paying attention to Jia Qing, a name she had heard three years ago and had been hearing since entering Beijing.
It seems, really, really unusual.
When he heard this, he didn't agree with the etiquette law, if it weren't for Jia Qing's identity as a man, I am afraid that he would have been treated as an "outlier" long ago.
To tell the truth, as a woman, there are few women who are not resentful of the terms and conditions such as "three obedience and four virtues", but what can be done if social beliefs are so?
They don't dare to say things like Jia Qing.
looked at the side again, a pair of teary eyes, "excited" Jia Baoyu. Xue Baochai felt that this might be inherited by the Jia family......
"Second brother, second brother, I really didn't misunderstand you!
Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing! The words "a woman can hold up half the sky" are really wonderful!
No, it's not good. According to me, half is not enough, if only half is more! ”
Originally, the pensive thoughts of all the girls made Jia Baoyu's words amused, and many of them looked at Jia Baoyu with a playful face. People who think like Xue Baochai don't know how many.
"Yo, what do you say, smiling so happily?"
This is Wang Xifeng After dealing with another matter, he rushed over, and just saw everyone with smiles on their faces, and couldn't help asking.
Jia Qing took the opportunity to say: "See, this is a model of escape!" ”
"Hehe."
"Hahahaha."
In a word, it ignited the laughter, and everyone thought about it slightly, but it was not. This one, not half of it, is almost all of it......
They laughed happily, but Wang Xifeng was inexplicably laughed. She didn't know what was funny about her words, but if she looked closely, she was indeed laughing at her.
She didn't blush when she was laughed at, snorted coldly, and said, "Yo, you guys are giving me a reason, what do you mean by laughing at yourself like this!" ”
Daiyu was weak, laughed twice and forced herself to stop, listening to Wang Xifeng's question, her slender jade fingers tapped and pointed out the way to Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng followed Daiyu's instructions, leaned forward, and quickly read all of Jia Qing's riddles with puzzles.
Not to mention, although this Wang Xifeng has no literary talent, he is born with a smart energy, and after reading it, he only has a little aftertaste, and he understands what everyone is laughing at.
"Hey, what did I say, it turned out to be this. This is written by the second brother, hmph, no one else has written such a thing except him.
said that our women can hold up half the sky, but you will please people. Now that you are also the head of the family, I am afraid that these words can only be used to coax them, I don't believe you! ”
Wang Xifeng, like her speaking style, has to say a lot as soon as she speaks, and she is articulate, logical and fast.
