Li Yi went to Yangzhou to take office. Before leaving, he sent Yu Youwei to a villa near Xianyiguan and promised to come back to her in three years.

Duan Chaosheng sneered: "His wife Pei's family was prominent. He relied on his in-laws to gain an official position. Then he turned his back on his first wife and secretly raised a concubine. Although three wives and four concubines were common in ancient times, Pei's family was

If he is married down, he is equivalent to a son-in-law. Without the consent of his wife, what qualifications does he have to take a concubine?"

"He himself broke his promise and labeled Mrs. Pei as jealous, saying that she could not tolerate a concubine, so he had no choice but to send Yu Youwei away."

"These men always like to pick themselves clean."

Li Yi made an affectionate promise to Yu Youwei, then got on his horse and walked away gracefully. Duan Chaosheng had sarcasm in his eyes and was rude in his words.

Yu Youwei entered the other courtyard, and the two of them followed. Chu Hanxing closed his shining eyes and chuckled: "It's indeed good."

Opening the history books, Daji, King of Zhou Dynasty of Shang Dynasty, and Bao Si, the princes of Fenghuo Opera, all the subjugations are related to women. It seems that women who were so suppressed by the feudal system that they could not lift their heads up really have extraordinary abilities.

At this time, her name was still Yu Youwei, and she was cultivating herself in the Taoist temple. Although she was comfortable, she was too lonely, so she began to write poems for Li Yi.

When I remember you, my heart is like the water of the West River, which flows eastwards without rest day and night, and I wish you peace of mind.

My thoughts about you are like an endless river that never stops for a moment.

Li Yi, courtesy name Zian.

Quickly collecting the letter, Yu Youwei stared into the distance in a daze, muttering to herself: "Li Lang, when will you return?"

He won't come back.

The two of them waited quietly, tacitly understanding each other.

One day, a group of refugees came to Xianyiguan. Yu Youwei took in several girls, and one of them took care of her personally. She was Luqiao.

The days went by smoothly, and Yu Youwei never received a reply from Li Yi.

One day, A Yuan, a girl from the neighbor's house, came to visit. She covered her mouth and secretly smiled and said, "I am very pleased with him."

Yu Youwei said: "This is good."

A Yuan's sweetheart was the son of a butcher, and the two of them often interacted with each other. Unknowingly, A Yuan developed a secret love and put on beautiful lipstick every day to see his sweetheart.

Lu Qiao said: "The teacher at the foot of the mountain is a Jinshi. Two days ago, I saw him giving a chicken to the next door. He said it was a chicken given by a student and he didn't know how to do it, so he brought it up."

"Let me see, does he like A Yuan?"

A few days later, Lu Qiao came back from outside and put away her umbrella, but her skirt was already wet.

She stamped her feet and ran into the house, talking about the latest news she had heard.

"A Yuan's sweetheart got married!"

"oh?"

"I am marrying the daughter of Zhang Yuan's wife. His son brings meat to others every day. I don't know why the eldest lady fell in love with him and persuaded her father to marry him. Their family is quite prosperous now!"

"Where's A Yuan?"

"She, she locked herself in the house and heard that she didn't eat all day. I just came back and took a look at the door from a distance, and her eyes were swollen from crying."

"However, the gentleman at the foot of the mountain was holding an umbrella at the door to comfort her. He also bought her chestnut cake. The chestnut cake smells delicious."

Listening to the sound of rain, Yu Youwei put down her brush and said, "Then A Yuan should not be sad anymore."

Lu Qiao wrung out the water from her skirt and muttered: "A Yuan kicked Mr. away, and the chestnut cakes got wet from the rain. It's a pity."

Yu Youwei was stunned, all the sounds seemed to fade away in an instant, and she could hear nothing.

She was lost in her own thoughts and did not come back to her senses for a long time.

"...Girl, girl? What's wrong with you?"

Yu Youwei shook her head: "When the weather clears, let's go and see A Yuan."

A storm, like the Milky Way pouring in, with strong winds and rain, lasted for several days, and finally a rainbow appeared one afternoon.

The air was fresh after the rain, and the sun was drying the dirt road. The master and servant held up their skirts, carefully avoiding the mud, and knocked on the door of A Yuan's house.

The person who opened the door was A Yuan. She looked a little haggard. When she saw them, she forced a smile and opened the door a little, "Come in and sit down."

The three of them gathered together, Lu Qiao said: "Miss A Yuan, are you still sad for him?"

"But he has clearly committed to you a long time ago and yet he goes to the wife's house. What a heartless man!"

Yu Youwei said: "Since he has turned his back on you, why should you remember him?"

She seemed to be speaking to A Yuan, but also to herself.

Lu Qiao quickly said: "The gentleman at Shanxia seems to be a good person. A Yuan can also consider him."

A Yuan closed his eyes in pain: "You... don't understand."

Yu Youwei thought to herself, I understand.

She understands.

When she returned home that night, she composed a poem, "A Gift to My Neighbor's Girl."

It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a man with a good heart.

With tears on her face, she murmured in a low voice in despair, "Why should I hate Wang Chang when I can spy on Song Yu?"

Li Yi, she doesn't love him anymore.

The next day, she took Lvqiao up the mountain, worshiped at Xianyi Temple, and became a female Taoist priest.

She knelt on the ground devoutly, and the light from a small window enveloped her whole body, like a word, with a person kneeling in the middle, which together formed the word "prison".

The chief observer solemnly said: "Since you have entered my Xianyi Temple, from today onwards, you will summon mysteries."

"Yes." Yu Xuanji said.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was very popular for women to enter Taoist temples, and there were not many clear rules and precepts. After Yu Xuanji became a female Taoist priest, she posted to the world that she should only read poetry and seek advice, which can be described as crazy.

Duan Chaosheng said: "Her reputation was ruined from this moment on."

"It may not be indulgence." Chu Hanxing said.

The rumors were true, Yu Xuanji talked about poetry and Taoism with the literati, and there was an endless stream of people coming.

When she was happy, she would have sex with him, but when she was unhappy, she wouldn't even say a word.

His friend came to visit and lamented: "Your life now...is simply..."

Yu Xuanji said: "What? Can't I even be the master of my own body?"

The friend said: "But you are a woman!"

Yu Xuanji: "If you men sleep with all the women, you will be romantic and unrestrained. If a woman sleeps with a man, you will be incompetent. What's the truth?"

…

"She dares to face herself, which many people can't do." Chu Hanxing said with a calm expression, "She has been married, only to realize that everything is just a mirror, and she really wants love, but can't find it.

She would rather not."

Duan Chaosheng looked at her teasing with the men and was a little puzzled: "I don't understand why she has an affair with so many men."

Is it because love breeds hatred, so he exiles himself?

Just like those men who become playboys after being hurt by love, they are lost in it.

Chu Hanxing raised her eyes and looked straight at him: "Can't it be the awakening of a woman in the feudal era?"

Duan Chaosheng was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Her personality is indeed different from ordinary women. She dared to confess to her teacher, and she also dared to say in a place where new scholars gathered that she only hated herself for not being able to take the scientific examination. She has knowledge that even men don't have.

In the end, I became a concubine. Isn’t this oppression?”

He said: "After seeing through that Li Yi is a scumbag, she can give up decisively. She does not miss Li Yi. She is still full of arrogance. She found that men can abandon women at will, but women will only stay together, so she posted to the world that she let herself

From another perspective, tell everyone that women can also play with men."

"If she had been born in modern times, of course there would be many ways to prove herself, but in feudal society, she could not engage in business or take scientific examinations. The feudal system suppressed her and she had no chance to resist. The only thing she could use was her body."

"She is using this to declare to everyone that she, Yu Xuanji, is free. Not all women are willing to kneel at the feet of men."

"In the feudal era, a woman could only be a daughter, a wife, and a mother, but she wanted to be Yu Xuanji."

Chu Hanxing half-closed her eyes and sighed: "It's a pity that no one understands her."
