Chapter 75.2

Chapter 75.2

On this day, another group of students came here under the teachers guidance. The school organized a spring outing, and decided to set the spring excursion location here. A group of young and beautiful teenage boys and girls cheekily and playfully followed the teacher to this preserved residence. This was a stone house. Although it was made of stone, it looked very elegant. There was even a big yard outside, a stone table and several stone stools, and even a grape trellis above it.

This is the place where Emperor Tianqi lived for 2 years, his longest travelling residence in historical records. Although it was destroyed once during World War II, fortunately, it had remained roughly unchanged. In addition, the country still preserved the paintings drawn by Emperor Tianqi at that time, and now it has been restored to almost as it was before. The older female teacher who wore glasses, stood in front of the stone house and introduced it to a group of students who looked around curiously. You can go in and have a look, but dont touch anything. Although you are students, and you can visit, but if you break something here, you will have to provide compensation according to the law.

Obviously, these words wouldnt scare the students who were spoiled by their families since they were young, so they scattered to look around.

This place was directly enclosed as a protected scenic spot, and there were cameras and protection personnel standing guard everywhere. Therefore, the female teacher wasnt afraid that these students would run away or go missing, and she also walked in. Some students would ask questions, and she would answer them.

There were twins among these students. Because they were the same age, the pair of brother and sister often fought. The two have the same vision, and as soon as the teacher said they were free to move around, they immediately went towards the grapevine with the same goal in mind.

The Tianqi Emperor is quite good at living. Theres even a grape trellis. He was the Emperor at the time, but he still cultivated his own land!

After listening to her brothers silly words, the sister turned her eyes, How is that possible? Didnt the teacher say that he took servants with him wherever he went? Its said that this place was a small village before, and the people here were simple and kind. Emperor Tianqi felt comfortable living here, so he lived here for a long time and was a teacher for 2 years.

I know. The TV drama showed that he was a good teacher at that time. Furthermore, there was a corrupt official in the local area who actually increased the tax, causing the people to suffer. There was also the magistrate who came to the village to arrest people and angered Emperor Tianqi. He showed his identity on the spot and directly took people to the corrupt officials house and beheaded him!

This also alarmed Emperor Huian. It happened to be close to the imperial city, so he personally came to his father to invite him back. I think Emperor Tianqi must be particularly fierce. Otherwise, why would Emperor Huian still be so afraid of him?

When he said this, his sister immediately became unhappy, Dont say that about Emperor Tianqi! Hes nice! In those days, if he hadnt ordered women to go to school, and left a will to improve womens status, how could girls in our country live so comfortably? I heard that when Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, women still had to obey three laws and four virtues, and there were just noble ladies who only went out once in their lifetime, or were carried out in a sedan chair when they got married, and were simply imprisoned all their lives.

As soon as the brother heard it, he knew that his sister had been stimulated again. He quickly surrendered and raised his hand, Okay, okay, I wont talk about it. I think you have been praising Emperor Tianqi every day since you came back from your trip to V country. How miserable are the girls in V country, making you dwell on it so much?

The sister deflated, They always preferred sons over daughters since ancient times. Its already the modern era, but they still couldnt get rid of that kind of culture. The last time I went on a trip, I wore a short skirt and short pants underneath, but I was scolded by an old woman, pointing at my nose for being shameless. Bah! I wear short skirts because they look good. Whoever thinks like her, is dirty-minded, thinking that women want to seduce men when they wear short skirts. If it werent for the fact that I cant speak V very well, I would have fought with her all day

Lin Daniang knew from her childhood that her father was the most favored son of the Lins. In her grandpas words, he was very promising and filial; in her mothers words, he was tall and mighty; in her uncles and aunts words, he knew a lot about having a grand future.

Therefore, although her grandfather didnt love her very much as a granddaughter, Lin Daniang was very confident in bringing her younger siblings to play together. Her father was the best father. When her father comes back, she would be the happiest child in the world.

Lin Daniang would never forget that day.

Her father really came back, but he came back to sever ties with the whole Lin family, including them mother and daughter. She was so stunned at that time. She could only stand still and watch the man on the horse leave without looking back. Mothers sobs rang in her ears, surrounded by angry and livid relatives. Lin Daniang was young, but she was sensible from an early age. She understood what her father had just said.

Father is not Grandpas own child, and he divorced her Mother.

Before that, Lin Daniang had a little friend who was in the same situation as himself. He was a boy. Although his father died young, he was cared for until his grandfather found out that his father was born from an affair his grandmother had. The grandson, who he had loved for so many years, wasnt his own grandson. His grandfather took a broom to drive people out. He thought that he had raised other peoples flesh and blood for so many years in vain. How could they give it back? They could only stay and work. That boys status plummeted. He once mentioned that his grandpa wanted to send him to study, but after his identity came out, he had to work every day. He didnt have enough to eat, and soon, he looked emaciated.

Then one day, Lin Daniang never saw the boy again.

After overhearing the villagers chatting, she realized that the boy was driven out of the house at night because he didnt do a good job. He was cold and hungry, and the next day he was found to have frozen to death. At that time, there was chaos everywhere, people only cared about sweeping the snow in front of the door, and no one thought that his grandfather had done something wrong. At best, he sighed that he had been lied to half his life before he discovered it. It was also because of this knowledge that Lin Daniang was a little more understanding than children of her age.

But, she never thought that she would be in the same situation.

Lin Daniang cried when she was dragged by her mother to kowtow to her grandfather. No matter how intelligent she was, in the end, she was still a child. Now, with such a sudden change, her mind was blank. She could only follow an adults instruction and actions.

Grandpa told her that her father was dead. Lin Daniang kept this sentence firmly in mind.

Grandma still loves her as before, only holding her and crying, saying that her life was bitter. Not one of her uncles or aunts said they would drive her away. Instead, they all went to the streets and bought delicious food for her after Grandpa gave her some silver.

Lin Daniang knew that her grandmother, her aunts and uncles were good to her and her mother, and only Grandpa, who didnt like them before, wanted to drive them away before. Now, although he promised to let her stay, Lin Daniang was still uneasy in her heart, fearing that one day she would anger grandpa and be driven away. She was no longer thinking about playing with her younger brothers and sisters, but doing her work obediently. She always tried to eat less when it was time to eat, thinking that, if she ate less her grandpa wont kick her and her mother out.
