Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless
Chapter 683 A World of Freedom in Dressing
Zhou Diheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why? My mother asked you to be a lobbyist?"
Zhou Yuqian is as gentle as jade, a modest gentleman with a mild personality. He has two or three confidantes around him. He really feels that this cousin with deep eyes is hard to see through. Take matters between men and women for example, there is no high-level Return to True Person in the whole imperial capital who is as chaste as Zhou Diheng and regards women as nothing. He has power and influence, so why would he be a monk who is as pure as a monk!
Look, men in the Dasheng Empire get married at the age of 20. Zhou Diheng was already 22 years old, but he had never seen a woman of the opposite sex in his eyes. For a while, Zhou Diheng's mother Yu Jin suspected that her son, whom she had given birth to with great difficulty, had some unspeakable secrets and unusual preferences, which made her feel very uneasy.
She could only indirectly remind her son: "Why don't you try to get in touch with some women you like? You are not young anymore. Getting married early will also be beneficial for your offspring."
As an aristocratic family, they attach great importance to blood inheritance. Zhou Diheng's mother Yu Jin suffered the same hardships as her son and did not want him to experience them again.
However, Zhou Diheng just brushed them off. After that, Zhou's mother asked several cousins who had a good relationship with Zhou Diheng to try to talk to him when there was a chance. Young people can communicate better and she could see what her son really meant, what was on his mind, and what kind of fairy he wanted to find.
Zhou Yuqian coughed lightly and said, "Third Aunt also loves her son dearly! Fine! Just forget I didn't say anything."
Zhou Diheng curled his lips and said, "In this world today, a man has so many women. Aren't those men afraid of the heavy tortoise shell on their backs?"
The wine Zhou Yuqian had just drunk suddenly spit out.
He looked at Zhou Diheng with an indescribable expression.
Zhou Diheng was also rarely interested and puzzled: "In fact, I am also very curious. You said that the world now advocates freedom of marriage, and the law stipulates that ordinary people are monogamous. Women nowadays are relatively free and independent. And the current rules no longer lock women into the backyard and prevent them from contacting outside men. They can wander between many men. You said that you men with some power think that you can control women in the palm of your hands and enjoy the pleasure of being pursued by beautiful women. Little do you know that those women also regard you men as a bridge to power and wealth. They are no longer trapped in the backyard, and they will neither have etiquette and shame, nor be loyal, nor take promises to heart. Ambitious women will choose the best one and even contact multiple men at the same time. Why are you so conceited, thinking that those women will always revolve around you, be loyal to you physically and mentally, and not cheat on you? After all, love between men and women nowadays is not bound by worldly constraints, and it is no longer a symbol of marriage!"
Zhou Diheng was puzzled and puzzled. The current social atmosphere was mostly like this, which made him really uncomfortable. However, he was in this environment and could not resist the rolling tide of history alone! He seemed to understand the helplessness and mood of that person when he was alone in the Dasheng Dynasty.
Zhou Diheng fell silent. He had always believed that while the world was full of advanced technology and progress, many of the valuable things left behind by our ancestors had been discarded. If the woman in his memories also became so... open-minded, Zhou Diheng couldn't imagine what he would do.
Zhou Yuqian wiped his mouth and said helplessly: "Young Master, you have a very poisonous mouth!"
Zhou Diheng frowned and looked at him. Zhou Yuqian quickly straightened his appearance and said, "Young Master, even so, you don't have to be afraid of it! There are still many good girls."
Zhou Diheng replied nonchalantly, "Look at all these people surrounding me. Which one of them is here for me? And how many women are flocking to me just by hearing my name? They don't even know me or understand me before, and they're all after power and wealth. It's so boring!"
Zhou Yuqian was speechless. Thinking about it, it was indeed like this, but they were born like this. Could it be that they would never get married in the future?
He asked tentatively, "Young Master, I heard that the young lady of the Jiang family in the imperial capital has been very favored by Third Aunt recently. She even let you meet her last time. What do you think of the young lady of the Jiang family?"
Zhou Diheng thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, you mean the woman who came to my house to attend the funeral? She was wearing a white fur coat, right?"
Zhou Yuqian: “…”
"No, Master, it's because the weather is cold. Miss Jiang was just wearing a pure white mink fur coat, which made her look pure and innocent. It's definitely not... Never mind, Master, if you say so, then so be it!"
Zhou Diheng nodded in agreement, recalling the events of that day. Just as he had gone downstairs to have breakfast, he saw a cloud of white drifting in from the doorway. Zhou's mother, Yu Jin, came to the table arm in arm with Miss Jiang, her face brimming with excitement. "Heng'er, this is Miss Jiang. She's been visiting us these past few days..."
Zhou Diheng frowned slightly and said bluntly, "Mother, is this young lady coming to our house to attend a funeral?"
His eyes were only slightly sharp as he scanned Miss Jiang from head to toe and commented, "Hmm, very white!"
Mother Zhou's smile froze on her face. She was too confident and excited, and she forgot about her son's taboos and etiquette. It was really a mistake... It seemed that Miss Jiang could not leave a good impression on her son. All her time planning and planning was in vain.
Jiang Qingman, the young lady of the Jiang family, who had been shyly lowering her head, looked up in disbelief. She hadn't expected to hear such harsh words. She suddenly looked up and met Zhou Diheng's phoenix eyes, dark as the abyss of cold. He—really thought so! The man she had always cared about thought that her arrival in his home in white, lacking etiquette, and ominous, had caused his displeasure and disgust.
Jiang Qingman's tears welled up in her eyes. "Mr. Zhou, it's not like that. I... I just..."
Zhou Diheng was in no mood, nor was he in the mood to show any sympathy for women. He stood up and walked out, his appetite gone. These people were truly clueless. If he were still the emperor, anyone dressed like this would have been dragged out and beheaded! Never mind, just ignore it. After all, this is a new world. The rule is freedom of dress. It's human rights, the most basic human right. This is progress, this is progress for the entire world, Zhou Diheng kept convincing himself.
"Mother, enjoy your meal! I'm leaving now!"
Zhou's mother reacted: "...on your way...slow down, won't you use some more?"
Zhou Diheng waved goodbye to his mother.
Leaving behind was Zhou's mother who was extremely embarrassed and Jiang Qingman who was about to cry.
Zhou Diheng did not return home for a few days. Zhou's mother endured for a few days and finally found an opportunity to send Jiang Qingman away. She then called Zhou Diheng without stopping and asked her son to come home.
Zhou Diheng finally set foot in his home again. His mother was overjoyed to see her son and asked him about his recent progress. Seeing his parents present, Zhou Diheng sat down and told them, "I went to the secret realm of Qiling Mountain again and harvested some spiritual plants."
Mother Zhou couldn't help but frown. "Why did you go to the secret realm again? No matter what, that place is very dangerous. Are you not hurt?"
Zhou Huaiyan, Zhou's father, glanced at Zhou Diheng from the side. "Really? I heard you encountered a high-level Dream Bamboo? That can make even high-level Returning True Persons fall into a dreamland, and it also has a strong aphrodisiac effect. How did you escape?"
Zhou's father has a wide network of contacts and is well-informed, so many things cannot be hidden from him. However, he only heard about this incident three or four days later.
