Chapter 91: Lunar New Year's Eve Dinner
th."When Yun Xiaoying said this, the midwife suddenly slapped her forehead and shouted, "Look at me, what an old fool! How could I forget such an important thing This little fairy is right, you guys h..."I didn't make things up! Er Ya, drink this first, sister will wash your brain properly later!" Qin Luo Yan bumped her bowl with Er Ya's, then without waiting for Er Ya, she drank the whole bowl of rice wine herself.
Yisheng saw it, snatched the bowl from Er Ya's hand, "Sister, I'll drink with you."
Qin Luoyan snatched the bowl away, "You child, what wine are you drinking Alcohol will affect your intellectual development. You haven't grown up yet, why drink alcohol! Do you want to become an idiot"
Yi Sheng was a little stunned by her scolding. After so long together, Qin Luo Yan's impression on him had always been intelligent and elegant. The unrestrained laughter and unrestrained scolding of Qin Luo Yan before him surprised him.
But, he didn't dislike Qin Luoyan like this.
Qin Luoyan's alcohol tolerance wasn't good. After one bowl of rice wine, her face turned slightly flushed, but her eyes were very clear. She stubbornly poured a bowl of rice wine for Er Ya, "Drink! Er Ya, I told you that we can't control things in other places, but here, we must have equal rights between men and women. What's so great about them men just having an extra appendage We women can still give birth, can they Count a few thousand years back, that was a matriarchal society! Do you know what a matriarchal society means"
Er Ya and Yixing looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"Matriarchal society is where women are honored and men listen to them. Women who can give birth are the most remarkable. So, neither men nor women belong to each other; it's just that the social forms were different back then. Now it's a patriarchal society, so men have taken control, allowing for three wives and four concubines. But who knows if women won't break this form in another few thousand years"
As she spoke, she poured herself another bowl of wine and clinked it with Er Ya's, pushing her to drink quickly.
It seemed that she was infected by her emotions, this time Er Ya didn't refuse, she just drank in a small sips with a bit of petty temper. The rice wine wasn't hot or pungent, so it wasn't hard to drink. Er Ya didn't know before, but now that she'd tasted it, she didn't dislike drinking it.
"Er Ya, what do you think women here get married for They have their mothers' love at home, but once they marry, they barely see each other even once a year. Even if they want to see each other, they have to look at their in-laws' faces. Once a woman gets married, she has to serve her husband and parents-in-law in her husband's family. If she doesn't do well, she will be criticized. And men have three wives and four concubines, you can't be jealous, you have to pretend to be very tolerant, and even lick your face to ask those women who stole your man, how well they serve your man, and whether they take good care of him. Hmph… It's simply deviant! Why So tell me, Er Ya, what do women get married for"
Qin Luoyan's words had left Er Ya completely stunned. "Isn't it natural for girls to marry when they grow up" But after Qin Luoyan said this, she suddenly felt confused as well.
"Natural order" Qin LuoYan found the phrase ridiculous. "There's nothing natural about it! What use is such a marriage To live humbly in a man's world, tending to his parents, caring for him... But what about your biological parents who raised you for twenty years They nurtured you for decades, then once you grew up and married, your precious daughter goes off to another family, working like a slave, leaving behind even aging parents living in lonely isolation."
She wasn't just thinking about something, Qin Luoyan said as she poured herself one bowl of rice wine after another, then drank them down in large gulps. A wave of emotion, almost like the urge to cry, washed over her.
Isn't it just about eating and drinking heartily When did it become a privilege exclusive to men
She snorted, and another bowl of rice wine went down her throat. Half the rice wine in the altar was already gone. She burped, vaguely thinking that she might be drunk. "How come the more I say it, the more like a resentful woman I sound To be honest, I don't resent him. What's there to resent It's just that a man slept with me. What's so great about it Anyway, this kind of thing is mutual between two people. He slept with me, or I slept with him How can you say it clearly Actually, it's good this way too. I'm not interested in marrying a man at the same time as other women. This is fine, men and women love freely, and then no one interferes with each other's lives."
By the end, she felt like the whole world was spinning. She swayed as she tried to get up and take a couple of steps, but found herself unable to stand steady. She was about to fall when Er Ya quickly reached out and steadied her.
"Miss, you're drunk. I'll take you back to your room to rest." Er Ya tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"I'm not drunk! It's the Lunar New Year, we should be happy, and we should speak out our grievances!" Qin Luoyan burped again and was supported by Er Ya as she walked towards the room.
Yi Sheng walked carefully beside her, occasionally giving Er Ya a hand.
By the time the two had finally settled Qin Luoyan on the bed, Er Ya turned to Yisheng and asked, “What did Miss mean by saying so much”
Wing-Sheng, always intelligent, thought carefully for a moment and said, "I think it means that a man can only marry one wife in his lifetime. If a man has three or four wives, he'd be better off not having any at all."
"Ah..." Er Ya's eyes widened, "This... This is too outrageous!"
"But I think what she said makes sense." Wingsun didn't care if this idea was too unconventional for other people. All he knew was that if it came from his sister, it must be right. "When I grow up, I'll only be good to one woman."
Er Ya was taken aback, she couldn't help but touch his head, "Yisheng is a good child, whoever marries you in the future will be extremely happy."
The two of them chatted and laughed their way back to the courtyard to continue eating. Originally, it was a family reunion dinner, but because Qin Luoyan had gotten herself drunk, only the two of them ended up eating.
However, this kind of atmosphere made both of them feel warm and fuzzy inside. They didn't need a grand or noisy environment; just this subtle, gentle peace was enough.
Night had fallen deeper.
Elders often say that people should stay up all night on New Year's Eve to pray for peace in the coming year. When Er Ya's parents were alive, they also stayed up with their family. Now that the family is gone, she still wants to stay up, so she pulled Yisheng together to light a stove in the hall. The two of them sat by the stove, staying up all night.
When a figure appeared at the door, both of them were taken aback. They immediately stood up and bowed to the newcomer.
"Where is she" Fu Zimo appeared here with Jin Mu, faintly asking the second girl and Yisheng who were celebrating the New Year together. The two of them looked peaceful and harmonious as they celebrated the New Year together, which softened his expression a few points.
