Chapter 7 Women's Studies

The coordinates of the Yan Mansion are in the Jumang District in the east of Kyoto, the capital is divided into four districts, named after the god of the four seasons, each district is divided into nine large squares and eighteen small squares, all of which are named after the names of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands in myths and legends, the Fang where the Yan Mansion lives is called Ruoye Fang, the mansion of the Sanpin Official, the area and length directly dominate the street, and the opposite side of the street is also an official house, this street has become the private land of the two families, the street is called Liuchang Street, and the two sides of Gain Street are planted with Gaoliu.

Yanfu is in the north of the street, three black oil gates, the tin ring carved Feiyan on the door, the red wall is a gold plaque, influenced by Shenshan, the architectural style in Beijing is tall and broad, and the lacquer coloring is also very public, but it also needs to be divided according to the grade, for example, the main building of the emperor's relatives and relatives should use red lacquer black tile gold ridge, the lacquer is vermilion lacquer, the ridge is the ridge of red gold powder, the tile is not an ordinary tile, it is a special black glazed tile, and it burns money very much.

Another example is the official residence, the prescribed color is red lacquer, thin golden ridges and blue glazed tiles, which is based on the rules of the main building of the main entrance and the main hall, and the rest of the house courtyard will be as you poop, and no one will care about you if you make a thatched house.

There is no hard and fast rule for the lower grade, as long as you do not exceed the first two, whatever you decorate, and the scholars like white paint Uwa, because it looks very elegant and has X grid, merchants generally use red lacquer green tiles, azure tiles and water gray tiles are gray terracotta tiles, glazed tiles are not allowed to be used by civilians, red paint is not allowed to use vermilion, so it is generally orange water red, as for farmers and craftsmen, blue bricks and gray tiles, earthen walls and thatched roofs, wooden houses and bamboo sheds, can be at will.

Compared with the official history, there are much fewer constraints in the etiquette system in this era, everyone lives easily and happily, as soon as the mood is good, the productivity is high, the higher the productivity, the richer the imagination, all kinds of innovations involving various fields are endless, Yan Qi feels that his growth process is a process of brushing the hidden boss, and maybe when a setting suddenly pops up to make her kneel, such as ......

For example, the matter of enrolling in a women's school.

The people of this dynasty have never heard of the nonsense that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented".

Women in this dynasty are illiterate, and it is difficult to find even their in-laws' homes.

The conditions for a man to choose a daughter-in-law in this dynasty are: knowledge of books and courtesy, knowledge of chess and painting and elegance, singing and dancing are particularly wonderful, female celebrity cooking is not picked, if you can ride a horse and play ball, play hunting than a bow, what more can a woman ask for such a husband?

In this dynasty, men are not afraid that women have the ability, but they are afraid that women have no knowledge. I don't know which generation of emperors provoked the pompous comparison style, which has continued to this day and intensified, men fight for career and wealth and power, and now it has reached the stage of fighting for wives, not allowing women to study and learn skills, take them out to get together for a banquet, and when you open your mouth, it is all "Oh, you are a blue pond, this golden hairpin on your head today is quite [corpse + hanging], there are enough eight taels of gold, right?!" "Open your cataract dog eyes to the old lady, this Nima is a jade hairpin! Can you still make the men talk well?

In fact, enlightened people in power believe that only with culture can they have vision. Only with vision can we have a heart. Only with a heart can we be gentle, tolerant, and reasonable. For example, treat the husband gently, accept the concubine room tolerantly, and manage the inner house reasonably, so that the man can make a big career outside without worries, can he take on the important task of stabilizing the family house with his husband and children, and can he make his face shine and add help in accompanying his husband to foreign affairs.

So you can look at it this way: the ultimate purpose of cultural education for women in this era is to better serve their men.

Well, because the world belongs to men.

So, every qiē in this world, is for the benefit of men.

-- Don't forget that this is a feudal society, and no matter how awesome Shenshan is, it will not be possible for you to achieve equality between men and women in this era.

Based on the above reasons, this dynasty, which was more enlightened and open than any feudal era in history, gave rise to a large number of institutions called "women's studies", which were specially used to cultivate high-end and high-grade female excellent genetic pairs...... Well, it is used to cultivate high-quality women, for men to choose and match, to marry two families, mutual benefit, and both are happy.

In the official history, the Yang family had a concubine who was favored by three thousand, and families all over the world subverted the tradition and began to value women over men.

In this dynasty, talented ladies are always the first choice for the royal family and nobles to choose a daughter-in-law, so the folk have also risen "talented women" fever, as long as it is not too poor to open the pot of the common people, but where there are women in the family, they want to do their best to enter the women's school "further study", if they can say a rich in-law after "graduation" in the future, the hard life of the mother's family can also end.

So there are not tens of thousands of women in the world, but also 8,000.

Women are busy.

The busiest is Mrs. Yan, from the time she entered the Yan family, she has been fighting for the power of the old lady Yan and her daughter-in-law 9981 times, there are losses and wins, and there are certain results, at least the old lady is finally willing to give more than half of the power to her, the whole Yan Mansion even the master and the servants of hundreds of people, all day long, things are piled up, work is done, from the eyes of the eyes do not touch the ground busy, until the lights go out on the kang.

Entering the women's school is such a big thing, Mrs. Yan also took the time to send a mother-in-law next to her to come to the second room to talk to Yan Qi, the second day of the second month of February, and only told sù when she came back from Lianhua Temple.

Mrs. is so busy every day that she doesn't want to, and she forgot about it for a while, and the mother-in-law explained to Yan Qi, "After all, there are all the things to be used in the girls' school, and the wife said that it will be prepared for several sisters in quadruplicate at that time, and it won't take long, please rest assured." ”

In quadruplicate, in addition to Yan Qi, there are also Yan Wu, Yan Liu and Yan Ba who are going to enter the women's school this year, and the age difference between the four sisters is not a few months, and the admission age of the women's school is usually eleven or twelve years old, and the boys are earlier, because women go to school just to improve their prime, but men go to school to earn a future, and the tension and importance are different.

Girls don't learn anything before the age of twelve, usually people with conditions will invite Mr. Enlightenment to teach at home, are some of the most basic knowledge, the key is to learn the basic etiquette first, cultural knowledge is not in a hurry, and the child before the age of twelve is still a complete "child", the most naïve time, emotional intelligence is not civilized, play with a big heart, and can not bear the hardship of boring learning.

Yan Qi also learned at home, she is not stupid, she is a person in two lives, she is enlightened at the age of three, it makes no sense that the children of the ancients can learn it, she can't learn it, so the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting female red etiquette has learned everything, more than the upper is more than the bottom, I heard that there is no pressure to go out of the house and enter the school, and it is much better to pass the time than to be bored in the house every day and empty the setting of good years, right?

On the first day of the first day of February, Mrs. Yan asked people to prepare school supplies and send them to the second room, the camphor wood small bookcase is classified according to the grid and contains all kinds of stationery, the girl cooks the rain and cooks the clouds while counting and registering, Yan Qi holds his hand and looks at the side, in addition to the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the bookbox, there is also a piano, a pair of Go, a set of paints for painting, and even a small bow and a bag of arrows.

Mounted archery is a compulsory subject for women's studies.

I heard that the founding emperor of this dynasty is a horse to lay down the country, from the grass, the wife of the hair, that is, the later founding queen is also a woman who does not let the eyebrows, in a tragic battle, and the emperor side by side to kill the enemy, several times for the emperor to save the emergency and prevent disasters, the emperor is grateful for the queen's love and grace, after the establishment of various codes and regulations, it drafted such a clause: the women of this dynasty, all the emperor's relatives and officials, as long as they enter the female school, must practice riding and shooting; civilian women, riding and shooting can be exempted from a certain amount of taxes, in order to commemorate the founding queen at the same time, but also strive to be able to do the literary ability to teach the husband and son to be able to kill the enemy-- Soldiers for all people was an important strategic principle for the instability of the four regions in the early days of the founding of the country.

Of course, later, the national strength of the dynasty became more and more stable and powerful, and the surrounding hostile forces had become grasshoppers, except for the occasional small wind and waves, it was difficult to shake the big tree of the Central Plains.

In addition, there are more than a dozen disciplines, which scared Yan Qiyi to kneel again and again, and the Yan Ba girl who came to chat with her also summarized the significance of these disciplines for women:

Whoa――

Cultural knowledge should be learned, because it is intrinsic to the teaching.

Manners should be learned, because this is the teaching of the outside.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting must be learned, because these are the traditional four arts.

Female celebrity cooking should be learned, because this is the duty of women.

The manager must learn to settle accounts, because it is the responsibility of a wife.

Singing and dancing riding and archery must be learned, because this dynasty is still martial, and the emperor is happy [yue].

Incense, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement, all need to be involved, because this is an elegant thing.

Therefore, everyone should study hard to be a perfect official wife with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor~○(* ̄ ̄*)○~

The night before school started, Boiling Yu wondered why his girl was sleeping on her knees.

At the beginning of February, the second dragon raised its head, and it was a good day for the unified opening of the world's academies.

The school system of this dynasty school directly made Yan Qi dumbfounded, especially there are winter and summer vacations here, the winter vacation from the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month to the first day of February, in order to let everyone celebrate the New Year at home; the summer vacation from the beginning of June to the end of June, in order to facilitate the wheat harvest period of the common people and the summer vacation of the rich family, of course, the corresponding vacation time is different according to the different wheat harvest periods, but the world academy, unified in the winter vacation after the second day of February and the first day of July after the summer vacation, the new semester is always fixed. The difference is that the new school year is counted from the semester after the winter break, and the second day of February is the admission day for new students.

Are you sure this book hasn't been brushed by the predecessors?

At six o'clock in the morning, Yan Qi woke up and asked the girls to get up by the way......

Cooking clouds and cooking rain and soaking the wind and the moon, the four girls can eat and sleep more than the other.

The master and servant washed and dressed and combed their hair unhurriedly, and took the time to tease the parrot hanging under the window of the moon cave for a while, this parrot is the twelfth birthday gift of Yan Qi from Master Yan, and he also gave a name called "Green Carp" in his own life, because the parrot hair is green, as for why it is called a carp, then only this master Yan whose brain circuits are not in the same dimension as ordinary people know it in his heart. And the parrot green carp is also a bird with an unusual brain circuit, this stubborn can't learn to speak human words, but I don't know where to learn a few donkey calls, since then Yan Qi's yard has burst out from time to time a donkey roar, so that people outside are speculating about the relationship between the green carp and the carp and the donkey.

Packed up, took the things that should be taken, and carried the small bookcase with stationery on the back of the boiling rain, and the large items were held by the mother-in-law, and followed Yan Qi's ass out of the door.

In addition to the old lady and his wife, there are a total of four rooms in Yanfu, each room occupies a five-entry house, the house where the two rooms live is called "sitting in the summer residence", in the three months of summer, the meditation meditation is called "sitting in the summer", it is the rainy season at that time, so it is also called "sitting in the rain and living in peace". I heard that this courtyard was originally called Sitting in the Rain and Peaceful Residence, which was the name given by the Crazy Demon Master Yan - his courtyard was originally called "Hug Chun Xiaoju", and later it may be because the old lady Yan felt that the name given by the eldest son was too special, so he was forced to go to the word and changed it to "Hug Chun Ju", so the Sitting Rain Anju had to be changed to "Sitting in the Summer House" accordingly.

The third courtyard in the middle of the five courtyards is the residence of the second master and his wife, Yan Qi lives in the fourth hall at the back, and Young Master Yan Jiu lives in the second entrance. Yan Qi took the boiling rain and his mother-in-law through the hall from the east side, and wore it until the second courtyard, Comrade Yan Xiaojiu also had to go to school, the boys entered school early, and the young master Yan Jiu entered school at the age of nine - before the age of nine, he was personally enlightened by the old lady Yan at home, and now he has a year of school age, and he will go to the "second grade" after the school starts, which is one year higher than Yan Qi.

Young Master Yan Jiu's courtyard system is the same as Yan Qi's courtyard, with three upper rooms on the front, surrounded by verandahs on both sides, and white walls and Uwa on both sides.

Young Master Yan Jiu's yard did not have any plants, but the walls and ground were embedded with rain flower stones and crushed mica of various colors, and the morning light diffused down, refracting the colorful light of the stars.

There is also a plaque on the lintel of the main house, on which the words "there is a plaque" are written.

Snake essence disease.

"Master, the girl is here. The sharp-eyed girl saw Yan Qi from the carved black lacquered wooden window with glass in the upper room, and hurriedly came out to open the curtain, "The girl is early today, and the ninth master has just cleaned up." ”

"No, I'll wait for him outside. Yan Qili was in the colorful, wearing a milky yellow shirt and a milky green skirt that matched her biological age, embroidered with apricot blossoms and a spring branch of rain, her black hair was curled into a bun, and a few beaded flowers made into an apricot blossom style were inserted, which was very warm and springy.

Young Master Yan Jiu walked out of the door slowly, his green shirt was straight, his waist was tied with ink, his black hair was tied in a scholar's bun, and he was tied with a green scarf.

Yan Qi also replied casually, the servants sitting in the summer residence had long been surprised by the words and deeds of this sister and brother, anyway, these two had been like this since they were children, and they didn't learn from anyone.

Fortunately, I have to go to school from now on, I don't know what I can learn to come back, that school is not simple, the reserve of the official wives, that is a small society, all the classmates are the opponents who will deal with and even fight against it in the future, the real war in this life of a woman, this is just the beginning.
