Qi Bao'er can understand these things, but she won't try to persuade Princess Binghua from this aspect.
She understands the concept of women of this era very well. Chastity is more important to them than life. They would rather die than be defiled. No one can persuade her. It is an obsession that is engraved in their bones.
She once met an evil spirit who was raped by her fiancé after he was drunk. Immediately after the incident, the evil spirit hanged himself, and with great resentment, he became a demon on the spot and killed his fiancé and his entire family.
.
It sounds like this evil guy is crazy and has an abnormal mind, right?
But if she had not taken this path, even if she continued to live, her future life would not be easy.
Because she lost her virginity before marriage.
Regardless of whether the person who made her lose her virginity was her fiancé, regardless of whether she was forced to do so under the circumstances, everyone would just assume that she was already unclean before marriage, and her husband's family would also accuse her of seducing her husband before marriage.
Wasted her.
Moreover, it will also affect the mother's family, making them unable to hold their heads high for the rest of their lives.
But once she dies, everyone will say that her husband's family forced her to die, and since she is noble and loyal, at least her family will not be affected, and everyone will look down upon her girls.
It’s weird, isn’t it? But the reality is so puzzling and unfair.
Qi Bao'er doesn't have any complaints about these things. Once it becomes a public opinion, it will take time to gradually change.
More than two hundred years ago, women dared to show their faces on the street. If a man touched their hands and refused to marry, they would have to leave home.
But now there are women who can serve as officials in the court.
Although he is still harsh on the women in the back house, many of these harshness are caused by the women themselves who have trapped them.
For example, regarding Princess Binghua, Qi Baoer once asked Xing Jiulin in her village when he was recovering from his injuries. Princess Binghua was already married and had children, so he would mind.
At that time, Xing Jiulin said no. He said: "When the princess was pregnant, I would actually visit her whenever I had time, but she didn't know."
Qi Baoer asked him again: "You don't know how now. It's because you lost but didn't get it that you feel cherished and don't care. If you really marry Princess Binghua in the future, and you get it, will you still remember what you did today?"
the words said?"
Xing Jiulin actually made an oath of heaven in front of her on the spot. He would only have Princess Binghua as his wife in this life. If he had any other intention, he would be destroyed by heaven and earth without leaving a whole body.
It can be said that he is quite cruel to himself.
But to be honest, no matter how infatuated this person is, Qi Bao'er doesn't think highly of him.
As the saying goes, even if a broken heart is mended, it is already scarred.
But judging from their respective reactions, the person who is obsessed with so-called chastity is actually Princess Binghua.
But with this shitty world, it’s no wonder Princess Binghua has such concerns!
"It's okay for you to go and live in Fucheng for a while, but the various forces in Fucheng are so intertwined that I'm a little worried about whether you have enough brains?"
Princess Binghua: "..."
Why do you say it so bluntly?
Qi Bao'er didn't seem to notice that Princess Binghua was about to explode, and was still talking: "There are several salt fields there, official salt, private/salt, official/merchant/collusion, and other issues that have always troubled the court.
I have a headache. If you go over to a little white rabbit like you, I am really worried that you will be torn apart before you even get to know a few people."
Aunt Qing covered her mouth and snickered. In this world, only Prince Xian dared to bury their princess like this.
Princess Binghua was a little annoyed at first, but after Qi Baoer pointed out such key points, frankly speaking, she began to feel weak.
She has always known that she is not a person who is good at planning, and she cannot even recognize people.
If Fucheng was really as chaotic as Bao'er said, she would run into it...
"Bao'er, isn't Fucheng a Dafan City?" Doesn't it mean that none of the people there are poor, and if there is a beggar on the street, he will be fed?
Qi Baoer threw a piece of pastry into his mouth and rolled his eyes. After swallowing the pastry with tea, he said: "Fucheng is indeed prosperous. The income from salt alone accounts for ten percent of the treasury."
There are three.
But it’s precisely because this amount is so huge, don’t you think people will look at you for your free money?”
Princess Binghua's face turned cold, she banged the table and said angrily, "These are just dogs." She was reading a book.
Then he thought for a moment and looked at Qi Bao'er rather dullly: "Bao'er, you actually know the situation in Fucheng so well. I think the emperor knows it well. Why didn't he send someone to investigate thoroughly and punish him severely?"
Qi Bao'er continued to roll his eyes at her, "Isn't your brother here?"
In the later period, the late emperor was actually somewhat unable to do many things in the court. Although Jun Chenyuan was gradually taking over the court at that time, he was only a prince, and there were many natural and man-made disasters at that time, which made his body difficult.
The prince Jun Chenyuan was able to stay in the capital for a long time, and he was even in danger several times and almost had to replace the Jun dynasty with a collateral line.
Of course, the most important point is that although there are many corrupt officials/dirty officials and bandits in Fucheng, it is stable enough and has no other problems except that the money handed over to the court has shrunk.
In the later period of the late emperor's reign, what he himself sought was stability.
The situation in Fucheng is not easy to rationalize and understand. How could the late emperor have the energy to bother with it?
Isn't this just left to the emperor? Once it's done, it's a great achievement that will go down in history.
And Princess Binghua, a simple child, couldn't see this. When she heard Qi Bao'er said that she sent her brother to Fucheng to do such a dangerous thing, her whole little face turned pale in an instant.
"Bao'er, my brother hasn't gotten married yet." At least I'll keep him as a queen!
Qi Baoer: "..."
Aunt Qing: "..."
Qi Baoer covered his forehead speechlessly, "Why do you think of this? Your brother is Prince Li, the eldest son of the eldest princess, and the emperor's nephew.
If something happens to your brother in Fucheng, it will be a real trouble for the people in Fucheng, okay?"
Princess Binghua thought the same thing. At this moment, her mind finally came online and she understood what Qi Baoer meant when she said she was worried about her.
"Bao'er, you mean they will only trick my brother. If I go with him, they will trick me in the same way, right?"
Qi Bao'er looked at her and felt relieved that "my son has finally grown up." He raised his hand and touched her dog's head, "There is something in you."
Aunt Qing: "Pfft~"
Princess Binghua did not dare to be cruel to Qi Baoer, so she turned to stare at Aunt Qing, "Are you making fun of me, Princess?"
Aunt Qing suppressed her laughter and shook her head repeatedly, "I don't dare. I just thought of something interesting and couldn't hold it back. Princess, please forgive me."
Although she said humble words, Aunt Qing was not humble in her tone or actions. Instead, she had a mother-like warmth with Princess Binghua.
Aunt Qing was not familiar to Qi Baoer but she knew her. She had met her once when she was with Princess Binghua, and she was with Princess Binghua only last month.
But her identity is not new to Princess Binghua. She has taken care of Princess Binghua for more than ten years. Because her son was disabled and her daughter-in-law ran away, she returned to the countryside to take care of her son.
A month later, her son passed away. After learning about it, the eldest princess went to invite her back.
Although she was a slave, it still gave her a place to retire.
