Chapter 416 Do you really think she is very good?
Wei Lin, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, said: "Why is my father so angry? There are many disciples of my father, so it is not strange that there are a few who are unconscious. People in the world will not generalize!"

Academician Wei sighed: "Arin is the daughter of a boudoir after all. I don't understand the reason behind this."

"The princess has carried me out from the beginning, and she has always said that she is my father's student. There is no one in Chang'an who doesn't know that I am my father!"

Wei Lin was puzzled: "In this case, my father must have a great reputation. Isn't this good?"

Academician Wei looked at his daughter with complicated eyes. The girls of the Wei family valued virtue, but they were different from the virtues advocated by the women of the previous dynasty.

The Wei family requires women to be respectful and docile, not to participate in outside affairs, to focus on taking care of their husbands and parents-in-law, to raise children, not to go out to work, not to remarry, and many other rules.

Therefore, although the eldest girl of the Wei family has a lot of knowledge, she is limited to women's affairs at home. She does not understand the changes in the court structure, and she does not know that Jingli is causing trouble.

Academician Wei had no choice but to explain to his daughter: "In this way, all the Qin Towers, Chu Pavilions, Gambling Houses and Theaters in Chang'an will hate their father to death!"

In the past, he would not have said this to his daughter. Although her daughter wrote "Women's Moral Training", in his opinion, it is difficult for women to take on important tasks.

However, his son was only ten years old and there was really no one to talk to, so he only mentioned this matter to his daughter.

Wei Lin frowned: "My father is planning for the world, but the princess is a woman, but she behaves like this. How can I have any responsibility as a clan wife?"

"How about I go ask the old concubine from the Thai royal palace to come forward and explain to the princess what women's moral training is?"

Academician Wei said helplessly: "Tomorrow, go talk to the old lady and see how the situation goes!"

After all, he didn't really have much hope in his heart.

Early the next morning, before Wei Lin went out, the clerk from the clothing store came to her door first.

The rules of the Wei family are very strict. You have to wait for the concierge to report to the lady in the inner courtyard, and then go to Mrs. Wei one after another.

By the time the news reached Mrs. Wei's backyard, Wei Lin had already taken the maid to the Thai Prince's Mansion.

If the Anyang Palace is in decline, then the Tai Palace is the transparency within the nobles.

Although she was born into a distinguished family, she had no outstanding children in her family, so she was gradually marginalized. Fortunately, the old concubine was an all-rounder, and she managed to get a place in the circle of nobles with a bunch of children and grandchildren who were unable to do anything.

The most pleasing thing is that this old concubine comes from a scholarly family, and her virtue has been consistent for decades. She can be called a royal role model!
Hearing that Wei Lin was coming, the old concubine's eyes flashed with surprise. Her eldest granddaughter, Princess Baguio, said, "Don't my grandma always admire Miss Wei very much?"

"Why don't you want to see her now?"

The old concubine touched her granddaughter Crow Crow's black hair and said, "Ayao, what do you think of the eldest girl of the Wei family?"

Princess Baguio and Hairpin had just decided to get married not long ago. If the old emperor hadn't passed away suddenly, the marriage would have been consummated by the end of May.

The little girl was very quiet and elegant. Seeing her grandmother asking such questions, she smiled and said, "Of course the Wei family girl is very good!"

"Really?" The old lady said noncommittally, "Then why don't you want to associate with her?"

Baguio was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to answer her grandmother. Others said that Wei Lin abided by the rules and could not find a single fault in her words and deeds. She was really a model for women.

She also felt the same way, as if a woman must be like Wei Lin to be happy.

Seeing that her granddaughter was muttering and not answering, the old concubine sighed: "After the filial piety period is over, you will get married. Grandma has a few words to say to you!"

Baguio then said seriously: "Grandma, please tell me!" The old concubine said leisurely: "You can just listen briefly to those things about women's virtues, there is no need to study too deeply!"

Baguio looked stunned, not understanding why her grandmother, who was always known for her rules, said this.

"Our royal family has long regarded rules as nothing. If the women's ethics compiled by the Wei family girls are to be followed, the entire royal family, including your grandmother and me, should commit suicide with a green lantern, an ancient Buddha, or a piece of white silk!"

Baguio was shocked: "Grandma, you always take rules very seriously. If you are not a person with rules, who is?"

The old concubine smiled bitterly: "Of course I don't count. Back then, your father was obsessed with dancing girls and almost doted on his concubines and killed his wife."

"It was I who forced your father to execute that Ji Zi. If we go by what the eldest girl of the Wei family said, even I, the mother, cannot interfere in my son's affairs!"

"Everything she writes is based on men. Mothers, wives, and daughters must not disobey it in the slightest."

"Ayao, think about it, are you willing to do this?"

Don't want to!Among the girls from the Tantai family's royal family, except for the extremely wild Princess Xiushan, many of them have the habit of cultivating their appearance.

This is why although Wei Lin published a book and was praised by many nobles, the royal family did not buy it at all, making it difficult to promote it.

Although royal ladies like Baguio are not too dissolute and abide by the moral rules they should have, they would not be willing to be humble and cowardly like this.

The old concubine continued: "Now in Chang'an City, your Uncle Nine Emperors is in charge. It's not like you didn't see the wedding that day. He really dotes on Princess Changling to the extreme!"

"If the Wei family offends the princess, there will definitely be no chance of winning. So, do you think it is necessary for grandma to see her?"

Baguio instantly understood her grandmother's thoughts. It was not easy for them in the Thai Palace. Now was the time to make good friends with the Nine Emperor Aunts. It would definitely not be a good thing if they got close to the Wei family.

Wei Lin came in and saw the old concubine greeting her as warmly as before: "Arin is here, go get the sour plum soup that was put in the ice basin in the morning and give it to Arin to try!"

Wei Lin thanked her and greeted Baguio before sitting down. Her words and deeds followed the rules without any deviation.

The maid quickly brought out the sour plum soup. Wei Lin drank a small bowl, wiped her mouth and then said to the old concubine: "My dear concubine, what happened to the princess yesterday..."

Before she could finish her words, Baguio's sister Bijun rushed in with all her might.

"Oh! There's sour plum soup, and I'm almost dying of thirst!" Bijun picked up the small bowl next to the old concubine and drank it all in one gulp.

The old concubine said with a smile: "Slow down, there is still more."

The little girl is only eleven or twelve years old, a lively and cute age.

The old concubine didn't take men and women too seriously. They were all her own grandchildren, and she loved them very much.

Besides, the daughter's family was happy at home for a few years. When she entered her husband's family, she would never be so comfortable, so she could not help but be a little more indulgent.

After Bijun drank the sour plum soup, he crowded next to his grandmother and chatted about interesting things outside. He didn't take Wei Lin beside him seriously at all.

Wei Lin endured it for a long time and finally couldn't help but said: "Second girl, as a woman, you openly eat the food of your elders. This is unfilial and disrespectful!"

"It is better for a woman to be quiet and quiet. The second girl is so noisy and lacks the grace of a noble lady. It is really unbearable!"
