After Jia Zhu's death, Li Feng was gray and lifeless for the rest of his life. Only the heart can be like a withered adopted son, and there is no longer any color in life.
If she marries a small family, it is possible to marry a second marriage. However, being in the rich house of Rong Guofu and being educated by the virtues of the Li family, who was the overseer of the State Son, was destined to cut off the happiness of Li Yi's life, and only her son Jia Lan was her only remaining comfort.
Li Feng was very different from modern times! Widows at that time, especially in the rich and noble, had stricter constraints and moral requirements.
First of all, Li Yi must be virtuous
What is virtue? It's women's morality! The "three from four virtues" that the ancients demanded of women.
Li Yi's husband Jia Zhu died prematurely. As a surviving person, she was sad and sad and inevitable. But they can't cry all day and complain about what happened to them.
When the husband dies, it is fate, and the fate is not good to complain about himself, and he cannot complain about the in-laws.
Even if Li Feng was sad and sad, he still had tears flowing into his stomach. During the day, it is also necessary to fold up the spirit and perform filial piety in front of the in-laws and elders. It is even more important to educate the son well and reassure the in-laws and elders.
Second, Li Yi should observe etiquette
What is etiquette? The rites of the undead. Ancient societies had strict ceremonial requirements for widows.
First, can not fat powder color. Li Feng wanted to remove the makeup of the young daughter-in-law and take off the new and bright clothes. Dress plainly and no longer apply grease and powder. The original text has several descriptions of Li Yi.
(Forty-ninth time) Du Li Yi wears a green doraemon on the placket;
(Seventy-fifth time) Li Feng was busy ordering Su Yun to take his makeup. Su Yun took it while bringing her own rouge powder and smiled, "Our grandmother will have less of this." Grandma is not dirty, this is mine, I can use some. ”
Li Yiqing's dark clothes are even more free of fat powder. The palace flowers sent by Aunt Xue did not have hers either. It is the funeral rites of the undead.
The so-called "undead" are widows whose husbands have died and whose hearts are dead.
Second, pay attention to the stop. The time the palace flowers were delivered, Zhou Rui's family passed by Li Feng's window and saw Li Feng taking a nap on the kang through the glass window.
It is said that sleeping is a private matter, but Li Feng cannot cover the curtains, that is, widows cannot have privacy and avoid being criticized.
Third, there can be no mistakes. Early in the morning of the seventy-third time, Yi Hongyuan got up, and Biyue was sent to find the handkerchief that li feng had lost yesterday.
Handkerchiefs are close to ancient women and cannot be easily lost.
The Tale of the West Chamber uses a handkerchief as a promise. Xiaohong and Jia Yun also fell in love because of handkerchiefs. Jia Baoyu even gave Lin Daiyu two old handkerchiefs...
Li Feng's handkerchief was lost, and if it fell into the hands of a man, or was found in the room of the little uncle Jia Baoyu, she would not have to "live".
Therefore, as soon as the handkerchief was lost, Li Yi immediately sent someone to look for it, which stemmed from the fact that the courtesy had to be insisted on.
Similarly, Bi Yue said that Daoxiang Village prohibits jokes, Li Feng does not play, the servants do not play, and even Li Wen, Li Qi, and Xue Baoqin are not fun, all in order to keep the etiquette of the undead.
Finally, Li Yi should abide by the rules
What are regulations? The rules of the Jia family. In addition to worldly virtues and etiquette to be observed, Li Yi also had to abide by the rules of the Jia family.
The rule of the Jia family is that widows should not be at home. Li Yi could only hand over the key of her grandmother's housekeeper and was seconded by Wang Xifeng to replace her.
Even after Wang Xifeng fell ill, Madame Wang asked Li Feng to go out of the mountain again and send Tanchun to assist her housekeeper, she was no longer dominant, it was all up to Jia Tanchun to be the master, and she tried her best to assist and not steal the limelight.
The Jia family said that Li Feng was a Buddha, not that she was weak. It is not in her position to seek her own government, she can no longer have the ability to exert, it is better to lie flat completely.
The jia family's rules and widows do not come out. In addition to no longer managing specific affairs, Li Yi never said much.
All the topics involved, Li Yi has no position and does not express opinions. What is beneficial to her, she accepts, even if it is unfavorable, she can endure it. Just for the big things to make small.
After the plum blossom sign, she said, "I only drink one cup of my own, and don't ask about your waste and happiness", there is no position that cannot be interfered with, not turning a blind eye and ignoring it.
Just like she took her siblings to Wang Xifeng to approve public funds to run a poetry club, but fengjie calculated an account in detail.
Saying that her income is geometric, the income of four or five hundred taels of silver a year seems to be a lot.
As everyone knows, in the future, Jia Lian will inherit the hereditary second-class title of the Duke of Rongguo and inherit Jia Yu's property.
Jia Baoyu inherited the Rongguo Mansion, which originally belonged to Jia Zhu.
As the eldest grandson of the second concubine, Jia Lan could only get one-third of the private property of his grandfather Jia Zheng and one-half of his grandmother, Lady Wang, and everything in rong guo mansion had nothing to do with him...
Compared with the Great Rong State Mansion, what is the income of Li Feng and Jia Lan of four or five hundred and two silver a year? Sister You died in a coffin and still had five hundred taels of silver. How big is the loss of Li Yi and Jia Lan's mother and son?
But Li Feng did not argue with Wang Xifeng about anything, and it was useless to say more. Let Wang Xifeng and Li Feng exchange lives, she will know the difficulties, why make a senseless dispute!
Li Yi is a virtuous person, she accepts reality, but also actively adjusts the state, puts her position right, and educating her son JiaLan is her duty. Therefore, Jia Mu and Madame Wang are very "respectful" to her.
The elders "bow down" to the juniors, and it is Li Yi who obeys people with virtue. Aunt Li was treated extremely favorably by Jia Mu, and it was Li Yi who won face for the Li family.
The Jia family later raided the house, according to the plum blossom sign foreshadowing pen, Li Feng spent nineteen years, painstakingly cultivating Jia Lan to rejuvenate the Jia family, worthy of the reputation of "new green and green to add raccoon ge, good cloud fragrance to protect the celery people".
Cao Xueqin borrowed jia Baoyu's mouth and collected "Poems", "Wind", and "Ya" to praise Li Feng, which is truly deserved!
Although Li Yi was over fifty years old when Jia Lan became a talent [Late Shaohua], she was like all great and selfless mothers, enough to comfort and admire!
