“Do you really care about your wife that much?” Yuan Xiang was a little curious. In this era, women’s status was low, men could have three wives and four concubines. It was rare for a husband to be able to worry this much.
“It’s strange to say that when the lady was at home, I didn’t miss her as much as I do now.”
When Zhou Deyun talked about the past, he couldn’t help but think of the moment when he lifted her veil when he was newly married. He was extremely happy when he saw the shy flower under the red candle. But after a long time, it seemed that it had become commonplace. The lady was a lady, dignified and quiet, filial to her parents, taking care of her younger sister and had a good hand in housework. His life began to be free and easy.
He met his three or five friends every day, took a trip to the lake, drank wine, discussed poems, and enjoyed tea and music. The beautiful days were not empty. Whenever he went home drunk, a pair of gentle hands caught him, served him tea and took good care of him.
It seemed that there was nothing in the world that bothered him.
The family was wealthy, the servants were in groups and the family business was well organized by his wife. He could squander arbitrarily outside and never worry about money. When he returned home, even though he had no reason to show off his temper, his wife was gentle, respecting her husband. The only shortcoming was that she didn’t get pregnant yet and his parents always mentioned such an issue. He thought that it was not a big deal. He thought at that time that after another two years, if his wife didn’t get pregnant, he would marry one or two concubines..
He didn’t act like an ordinary man, so he gave his wife more reprimand, but occasionally said a few words. Although he knew that his parents were dissatisfied with his wife, in his heart, he felt that filial piety was a child’s way to heaven. Since his wife was married to him and enjoyed the blessings of gold and jade at home, he should obey his parents’ order.
Until one day, his wife suddenly developed hysteria. She couldn’t recognize him anymore and beat him, verbally attacked him and refused to let him get closer.
Everything in the house suddenly turned into a mess. Either the firewood was lost, or the rules were broken there. He was chasing after her every day and he couldn’t figure out what was going on.
He remembered that when he returned home in the past, he saw his wife sitting under the window, holding the account card. At that time, he whispered softly that it seemed to be easy to get everything in order. When he took over, he found out that there were many things. It was messy and couldn’t be managed at all.
He didn’t know that his family’s business had expanded several times in silence over the years. The villagers in the fields outside, the shopkeepers of the shops and the accounts of the money houses lined up every morning, holding unclear account receipts to find him. He was so busy that he had a splitting headache and was exhausted.
In addition, his younger sister had reached the age of marriage and he needed to look for a good husband for her. His parents were getting old and sought medical advice from time to time.
Suddenly, Zhou Deyun couldn’t understand how his wife had the energy in the first place and she could still greet him with a smile every day.
“When she was by my side every day, I didn’t realize her worth, until she suddenly developed hysteria. I was lost and I knew her rareness. There seemed to be a hole in my heart.” Zhou Deyun held the tea cup, “My parents, relatives and friends persuaded me to give up and marry again. But I can’t let her go and I will never marry anyone else.”
Qiu Yueming put down his short sword, took the tea cup handed by Zhou Deyun and drank it all in one go, “I live outside the Great Wall all year round. There were only horsemen and passionate men on the battlefield. That was the world of men. I also looked down on women very much. Until this time I was in trouble, I knew that the world was unfair to women.”
Yuan Xiang glanced at his ashamed expression.
After sitting on the boat for several days, everyone arrived at Ezhou City.
Ezhou was known as the most prosperous place, and naturally it had a lively scene. The buildings on both sides of the road were mostly white and black. At a glance, one could see the layered hard tops.
Zhou Deyun carefully stepped ashore from the springboard and stretched his body, “I finally stepped on the ground. After shaking on the boat for so many days, my body is still shaking when I walk on the ground.”
He turned and stretched out his hand to pick up his wife from the boat. Qiu Yueming glanced at him and walked down the springboard with a small sword in his hand.
Zhou Deyun wanted to see if Yuan Xiang needed help, but Yuan Xiang had already chased Wu Yuan all the way down from the springboard, “Wu Yuan, don’t run so fast. Be careful or you might fall into the water.”
Nan He, who came down from behind them, turned his eyes and glanced at him.
Zhou Deyun had no choice but to withdraw his hand and touch his nose. The past few days of getting along with her almost overturned his stereotype of women from childhood to adulthood. In his memory, women were gentle, weak, and obedient, living only in the small world in the backyard. If there was no branch to rely on, they would wither, so they could only rely on men to survive.
But now, looking at Qiu Yueming and Yuan Xianger, and thinking of his wife, he vaguely felt that if the shackles were loosened, many women in this world might not be any worse than men.
That night, the group stayed in the most luxurious inn in Ezhou.
The guest rooms of the inn were elegantly and comfortably furnished, with clean bedding and hot water throughout the day. The lobby on the first floor sold fine wines and dishes, and there were entertainers holding a lute walking through to provide entertainment services.
Zhou Deyun ordered a table and sent it to the wing, and invited Yuan Xianger and others. When everyone was seated, a singer with jade-like makeup entered with a pipa in her arms. With long sleeves, she bowed down to the crowd. Her hands were thin, and the rotating shaft plucked the strings, making a graceful immortal sound.
