Volume C Chapter 121 The Poor Woman (First update, please vote for me!)
Suddenly realizing that she was a little rude, Feng Ziying quickly returned the gift and laughed at herself: "Brother Wei used to see the third sister in men's clothes, but today I suddenly saw the third sister in women's clothes, and I am still a little uncomfortable...
…”
The old lady You continued with a bright smile, "That's what this girl is like. In a remote and remote place like Ganzhou, the villagers are rare and strange. When they saw the appearance of the third sister, they were a little surprised. Over time, the third sister became a little unwilling.
So I changed into men's clothes, which was more convenient. My second sister didn't dare to go out at all, so as not to bring trouble to herself. The young master is still generous and doesn't mind this..."
"Well, actually, although the appearance of the third sister and the second sister are different from those of us Han women, they still have a different look. Don't worry about those gossips." Feng Ziying told the truth.
When the Zhou dynasty was established, there was no legal taboo against intermarriage with foreigners. However, the traditional concept still regarded the softness and delicacy of Han women as beauty. However, in fact, this situation has changed somewhat in border areas. After all, ordinary women are not so particular and are more physically strong.
Conducive to survival, fertility and reproduction.
Especially in Suzhou and Ganzhou, the Yarkands, Kazakhs from the west, and even Persians, Russians, Cossacks, and Turks from further afield, their caravans all travel between Hami and Shazhou intermittently.
Between Suzhou and Ganzhou, during the two to three hundred years from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and then to the Zhou Dynasty, with the wars and business travel, it was inevitable that there would be intermarrying among the ordinary people, and also the dignitaries in these places.
It was inevitable that they would buy some foreign female slaves or take them as concubines with the mentality of trying new things, and they also had many descendants.
Therefore, situations like this are not uncommon in Suzhou and Ganzhou. If the Zhou army recaptures Shazhou and Hami in the next step, this situation will be even more common.
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Third Sister You was filled with joy.
In fact, she had always been unwilling to meet Feng Ziying in women's clothing. She was worried that Feng Ziying would not be able to accept her image.
She has deep eyes, a high nose, wide mouth and thick lips. These images are often regarded as ugly features, and her cheekbones are slightly higher, which is seen as a sign of weakness. Even compared with the second sister, at least the second sister’s mouth is still the same.
She has petite lips, so she has always been uneasy.
How did she know that in her previous life, Feng Ziying had long been accustomed to seeing Western beauties in film and television works, including women like Angelina Jolie, Hathaway and Julia Roberts? Sanjie You and those Western actresses
There are still some differences, but Sanjie You, who combines the characteristics of Han women, is obviously more feminine and more in line with Feng Ziying's aesthetic view of modern beauty.
"Brother Feng doesn't need to comfort the younger sister. The younger sister and the second sister have long been used to it in Ganzhou, and the younger sister has long since stopped paying attention to some gossip." Third Sister You's words were somewhat half-truth.
Although some people in Ganzhou can't stand it, the appearance of You Er and You San sisters is different from that of Han women, but their fair skin, gray-blue and turquoise eyes are still very attractive, and they have big breasts and fat buttocks.
With obvious female characteristics, many people will inevitably look at them, but not everyone dislikes them.
"Brother Wei is not trying to comfort me, but I'm just telling the truth. Brother Wei thinks that Third Sister looks better in women's clothes. Of course, she looks more impressive in men's clothes." Feng Ziying said with a smile, "Third Sister, when did you and Auntie come to Beijing?
of?"
"It's been seven or eight days." You Lao Niang continued, "Mr. Feng, you go ahead and we will follow. The bumps along the way are really uncomfortable. Fortunately, the second sister and the third sister are still in good health, so
I arrived in the capital safely and reported the news to my eldest sister, but I didn’t expect that my eldest sister’s husband-in-law had gone out to inspect Zhuangzi in the north..."
Before coming to You's house, Feng Ziying also inquired about it. Jia Zhen took Jia Rong to the north. In late August, the weather was good and they left the capital and went to Jizhen, but it was estimated that they would have to wait a few more days.
Will be back soon.
They said they were going to inspect Zhuangzi, but in fact they were going out to Gaole with a group of boys and girls. The Zhuangzi was just over Ji Town, only a few hundred miles away, and it only took seven or eight days to travel there and back. But these guys and girls
With a group of people, I was away for a day or two, and I felt a little bit happy and unwilling to miss Shu.
Jia Lian was originally invited to go, but Jia Lian declined. Jia Lian also told Feng Ziying about this situation.
"Oh, I also heard from Brother Lian of Rongguo Mansion about this. Brother Zhen and Brother Rong went to Ji Town in the north and will probably be back in a few days." Feng Ziying nodded, "Zhen
My eldest sister-in-law should be at home, and my aunt and third sister should have met her."
"Yes, I have seen you, but..." Mrs. You couldn't help but curled her lips. She had seen her, but the eldest sister was not as enthusiastic as expected. She did not invite her to live in the house as she expected.
He said that he would let his family live outside first and then make plans after the master comes back.
Seeing that her mother was about to complain again, Sanjie You quickly interrupted: "Mom, I'd better ask Brother Feng to sit down first. It's disrespectful to stand here and talk like this..."
Madam You finally realized what she was doing and quickly asked Feng Ziying to sit down in the main room.
The You family did go to the Ningguo Mansion, but the eldest sister of the You family, the wife of the Ningguo Mansion, did not dare to make a mistake. When she saw the special appearance of her two sisters, men from other families might avoid them.
, but she is the one who knows her master and Brother Rong best. They are not afraid of meat and vegetables. When they see such a fresh taste, why don’t they become a sheep in a tiger’s mouth?
That's why she asked her stepmother and sisters to rent a house outside to avoid trouble.
Mrs. You didn't know the secret of this, she just felt that this eldest sister was so cold, and she felt uncomfortable in every way. Fortunately, although You was cold, she still helped her family with two hundred taels of silver to settle down in the capital city.
This made Mrs. You feel a little more at ease.
The second sister You was a coward with no independent opinions, but the third sister You also had some knowledge. After feeling something unusual, she went out to inquire about it.
Especially after talking with his eldest sister's maid Yindie and Qin Keqing's maid Ruizhu, he vaguely knew some secrets. This made him understand what Feng Ziying said on the road that day why Ningguo Mansion should not be entered lightly, and he also made up his mind.
No matter how hard it is, you can't enter Ningguo Mansion.
For women from good families like them, if they are contaminated with such a dirty reputation, it will be difficult to find a suitable and satisfactory one whether they want to find a good family or become a concubine in the future.
Of course, Third Sister You couldn't say this in front of her mother, but Feng Ziying's kindness still made her feel very grateful. At least someone like Second Sister was promised to someone else. If she got involved in Ningguo Mansion, she would only I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married.
Feng Ziying also saw the embarrassment of You Lao Niang and You Sanjie, so naturally she would not bring up such topics again. They would rather live in such a cramped place than go to Ningguo Mansion, which shows that they have already made a calculation in their hearts.
While he was talking, he saw the door to the right wing finally opened, and a moon-white figure came out of the room. Feng Ziying was startled, but when she looked closely, she saw that she was wearing a moon-white dress covered with a light cyan gown. The graceful Pingting came into the room and was deeply blessed, "My family has met Mr. Feng."
Feng Ziying only briefly met Second Sister You once, but this time she wanted to meet her in person, and she did not wear a curtain hat anymore. This blessing, when she raised her head, Feng Ziying could also observe at close range this beautiful thing in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" The most miserable woman.
Her hair should obviously be reddish-brown. Although it has been dyed, I guess I haven't had time to dye it in the capital yet. At least half a finger length of hair is exposed at the root of the original brown-red color. The long hair is slightly curly and a little wet. The traditional Han women's hair is pulled into a bun, which has a unique charm.
Her forehead is broad, which is similar to Sister You's. She is round and plump, her eyes are deeply sunken under her slender eyebrows, her green eyes are set against her high bridge of nose, and her alien features can be seen at once.
The only difference from Third Sister You is that her lips are still delicate and delicate like those of Han women, with a typical small cherry mouth. Her cheekbones are not as high as Third Sister You, her cheeks are well-proportioned, her bones are straight and fleshy, but her lower jaw is a very... The plump olive shape is very eye-catching.
If she were in modern society, she would definitely be a top-notch beauty, and it would be no problem to participate in the Miss Universe contest.
Even in this era's aesthetics, this face alone would probably make people marvel. Even if there are many features that do not conform to the aesthetics of the great Zhou literati, beauty is beauty, and in many cases it transcends the times. .
"Second Sister, please get up. Don't be polite." Feng Ziying also raised her hand, and Second Sister You sat down beside her.
Small families are not so particular, unlike big families who have to avoid all kinds of taboos.
I have to admit that this woman is indeed extremely beautiful, but she also has a timid temperament. She is as startled as a little rabbit when she speaks. It is no wonder that in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", she is not only loved by Jia Zhenjia Rong, but also has a timid temperament. It is unspeakable that he violated his father and his son, married into Jia Lian's house and then was raped and raped to death by Wang Xifeng and Qiu Tong.
It's just that this image overturns my impression of Sister You in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", although she is equally beautiful to the extreme.
"Then, Third Sister, do you plan to stay here forever?" Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, and said that she shouldn't be involved in these matters, but the situation here is really bad, and she can be regarded as a landlord after all. If she sees this situation , but refused to lend a helping hand, which seemed a little unreasonable, "Brother Wei feels that the environment here is really bad. You, mother and daughter, are all women. Why don't you even have a maid?"
Mrs. You's face was filled with joy. This Uncle Feng was really sensible and sensible. He could see the ugliness of his residence at a glance. Do you think he wanted to help? That was really the best thing.
