Although she didn't quite understand why the old lady said this, Yao Anxin still nodded: "It seems so."
"So, do you think that kind of down-and-out poor scholar who can only make a living by writing scripts will have a chance to meet the rich lady in the story?" Gu Qingling reminded her, "You can bring in yourself, usually
What is the scene like when you go out, and what is it like when a male guest comes to the house...Then, let me know if you have a chance to meet him."
Yao Anxin didn't think much about it at first, and really thought about it according to Gu Qingling's words, but as she thought about it, she realized something was wrong.
Even if the Yao family is in decline, she will be accompanied by a group of slaves when she goes out.
Not to mention going out alone, usually either with her mother, the old lady, or Yao Anhong because he is too young, and adults are worried about him taking his sisters out alone.
Therefore, it is really...impossible for a poor scholar to "accidentally meet" a well-connected young lady outside!
How unruly does this young lady have to be to sneak out and be met by others?
This is the first, and the second is the situation when there is a male outside the family.
Generally speaking, if there is a male outside the family, it is usually a friend of the father or elder brother, or an elder of the family.
If she is an elder, such as her grandfather or her father's old friend, maybe she can meet her in the company of her mother or father. It would be difficult to meet other people of similar age, right?
Even if we invite male guests to a banquet, we should do so in the outer courtyard, with well-divided areas to prevent male guests from entering by mistake.
In addition, when entertaining male guests, an unmarried young lady like her will be trapped in the room and cannot come out. She is also accompanied by servants and women. How can she have the chance to run into the garden and meet someone by chance?
The only ones a poor scholar can meet are those whose family background is not high or whose family rules are not strict.
"Old lady, I understand."
Yao Anxin said what she summarized with a look of astonishment.
Gu Qingling: "You see it, right? The down-and-out poor scholar doesn't understand the rules of a wealthy family at all. What he writes is all imaginary. There are loopholes everywhere. Only people with no brains will not notice it.
At this point, I believe in the love and love inside. I really think that a rich girl from a wealthy family is really that easy to meet..."
Yao Anxin: "..."
——Is it her imagination?
——Why does she feel that the old lady is scolding her?
——When she first listened to the old lady telling this story, she was really moved by the love in the story.
Gu Qingling: "Then think about it again, why would a poor scholar want to write this kind of story?"
"Didn't the old lady just say that it's to make money?"
"Besides making money?"
"My granddaughter doesn't know."
"Do you know what 'imagination' is?"
Yao Anxin: "..."
——She didn’t understand at first, but when the old lady said this, she felt like she understood.
"Yes, this is it." Gu Qingling saw through her expression and continued, "In the story, instead of saying that the poor scholar and the rich lady fell in love at first sight, it is better to say that the poor scholar fell in love at first sight with the rich lady. He originally
If you are so poor that you don't have a good meal, and you are still wearing patched clothes, but you are attracted by a wealthy lady, isn't that just a matter of rising to fame, becoming rich and having no worries about food and clothing? What's more?
Three wives and four concubines, and the rich lady is so beautiful that a fool would not agree."
Yao Anxin felt aggrieved for the poor scholar in the story: "But the story says that the poor scholar fell in love with the rich lady at first sight, and they fell in love with each other..."
"It's true that they are in love. It's just that one is attracted to the other's money, and after getting married, he can change his family and live a good life with plenty of food and clothing; the other is brainless and will be fooled by others.
People were deceived and lost their virginity, heart, and wealth..."
Yao Anxin blushed a little, she didn't expect the old lady to speak so nakedly.
——What a body and mind, this is too shameful!
——Could it be that the old lady tells a story and wants the servants to go out? If people hear this, her reputation will be lost.
Gu Qingling also knew that what she said might be a bit too "stimulating", but she had no choice but to avoid being "stimulating". She was afraid that Yao Anxin would not be impressed.
This kind of thing should leave a deep impression.
"Am I wrong? You don't really think they are true love, do you? If it's true love, if it's really for the good of the other person, then why doesn't the down-and-out scholar not want to study hard, gain fame, and then hire a matchmaker?
He went to the house to propose marriage, but instead he encouraged his rich daughter to elope with him. After all, he is asking his parents to make his marriage come true?"
There was a hint of coldness on Gu Qingling's face, "You say it's a fulfillment, who is really begging for help? Is it the rich lady, or the down-and-out scholar? The down-and-out scholar always looks aloof, and he doesn't want to eat anything that comes to him.
Being given alms..."
"If he was really so noble, why would he marry someone else's daughter? He didn't just invite a matchmaker to his house, but he wanted to seduce someone else's daughter to elope with him."
"Haha! He is a scholar. Doesn't he know what it means to be a wife and a concubine?"
…
Speaking of this, Gu Qingling asked Yao Anxin: "To really like someone is to make the other person better, and in this story, what I saw is exactly the opposite. So, do you still think that the poor scholar is interested in the daughter?
Is this true love, miss?”
Yao Anxin was stunned and couldn't believe it.
——Yes, if you really like someone, you will definitely want the other person to be better, but the poor scholar in the story, is what he does really for the other person?
——In the name of love, letting the other person change from wife to concubine, is this really love?
Gu Qingling added: "A man has ulterior motives and will not treat his daughter well. Which parent do you think would marry his precious daughter to such a man? If it were your parents, you would
Do you think they will agree?"
No need to ask, Yao Anxin knew that her parents would definitely not be willing.
Not to mention her parents being unwilling, even she herself would be unwilling if she found out the truth, right?
"Okay, that's it for today's story. You go back and write a thought report. You will give it to me in three days."
"Yes, old lady."
When Yao Anxin left, the old lady Gu Qingling gave her a storybook.
Only then did Yao Anxin realize that the story the old lady told was not a random fabrication by the old lady, but that there really were such stories in the world.
She took this story and read it from beginning to end, unable to get even the slightest touch from the story.
What she saw was an "ambitious" man deceiving and using a stupid woman.
The story ends with the "accomplishment" of the silly woman's parents, and they live "happily" together, but what happens next?
Later, were they really happy?
Will that man who has other intentions really lie to her for the rest of his life?
For a moment, Yao Anxin felt a little distressed for the woman in the story.
She couldn't sleep, so she got up late at night, lit a lamp, and put her complicated thoughts on the tip of her pen, turning them into words.
