"What about women?"

Mei Xueyan knew that this move would be attacked sooner or later, and it would be just criticized in private, she didn't bother to pay attention to it, this Shen Ziwen wanted to be accused in person, and she was not afraid. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hmph, Zhou Gongji's "Book of Rites" has a cloud of 'Three Obedience and Four Virtues', you are a woman who is not good at home and teaches her husband and children, she runs out and swaggers around, she has not even read the Book of Etiquette, and she also said that she wants to take the township examination, do you think that Tongsheng can be admitted? Don't insult the sages, let's stay at home and do some female red to learn what women's virtue is! ”

Shen Ziwen's face turned a little red when he said it, and it seemed that he was extremely embarrassed, he opened the folding fan to fan the wind to calm himself down.

"I have naturally read the Book of Rites, but I have neither parents nor elders, nor husbands, nor children, and I do not follow my father, my husband, or my son, but only from my heart. Not to mention that I don't know etiquette, at least I reflect on my own virtues, unlike Childe, who repeatedly bullies others. ”

Mei Xueyan spoke unhurriedly and clearly, compared with Shen Ziwen's groundless accusations, and made a judgment.

The crowd also threw some mercy, and it turned out to be an orphan girl without a father and mother.

The two sons together with Shen Ziwen were a little ashamed, so many people looked at it, as if the two of them were also like Shen Ziwen, bullying a little girl in other people's homes, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Brother Shen, let's not bother with her, let's go!"

The young man couldn't hold it on his face, and he persuaded him with good words, but Shen Ziwen had already aroused anger, how could he move?

"It's always immoral for a little girl to show up, how can a woman swagger in the market!"

Shen Ziwen didn't notice that the people around him stopped talking, and his loud voice was heard clearly outside almost the entire county school, and he felt rude in front of everyone's eyes.

"Childe said ridiculously, I have no support, I can only stand on my own, and if I don't come out to show off, do I wait for Childe to help me in the house? According to Gongzi, fisherwomen don't need to get up early and go to Baochang to sell fish, and peasant women don't need to go to the fields to plow, so they just keep a ritual and sit at home and wait to starve to death. ”

Mei Xueyan pointed to the folding fan in his hand and said with a light smile: "If the prince feels that it is cold and cold, it is a gift to take a folding fan, then the little woman really dare not agree." ”

This Shen Ziwen read a few sage books, and he regarded himself as moral and made people evil. On the front of his folding fan is a calligraphy and painting, on which is also written the original text of the "Book of Rites", and on the reverse side is a cursive "Li" character,

Mei Xueyan's words made everyone laugh, and she pointed at Shen Ziwen.

"Shen Ziwen, you are a senior apprentice of the Lin Mansion Academy, and you don't feel that you have lost your identity when you are scheming with a girl!"

"Yes, I have long heard that Shen Ziwen has some talent, and he said that he was going to go to the township to take the test, but I didn't expect it to be this virtue, not even as good as a woman!"

The so-called head of the case is the first place in the township test in each county, and it is the crown of children.

It is already very difficult to get a child, and the average student is very worried, and no one dares to guarantee the head of this dispute, except for those who are extremely confident and truly knowledgeable.

The exam room is changing rapidly, and no matter how well you learn, you will always encounter your weaknesses.

Shen Ziwen was said to be red-faced, holding the fan like a hot potato, I don't know whether to collect it or fan it, he was dumbfounded for a long time before waving his sleeves and throwing the folding fan to the ground next to him.

"I don't care to argue with a vulgar person like you, since the sage started the imperial examination, I have never heard of women taking the exam, this is not in line with the general rule!"

Mei Xueyan looked at the folding fan on the ground, it was from the hand of a well-known calligrapher and painter in Lin'an County, it must not be cheap, and now it was thrown to the side of the road, and the snow on the street where people came and went had already been trampled dirty, and the fan was stained with some dirt.

Mei Xueyan felt that it was a violent thing, squatted down to pick it up, and wiped some water stains with her sleeve.

"Childe still don't take a fan to get angry, it's innocent, isn't Childe a good gift? No matter how angry you are, don't lose the 'gift'. ”

Mei Xueyan made a pun, which surprised the readers present again.

Although it is only a few words, this little girl's speech, talent, and bearing are extraordinary, and she has the style of everyone.

Chen Junsheng couldn't interject on the side, he was shocked by Yan Niangzi, Mei Xueyan used to speak only and was timid and afraid, but now she is judged to be like two people.

"Could it be that when you were seriously ill, you were enlightened?"

Chen Jun was slandered, and he was completely attracted by Yan Niang's look.

Shen Ziwen abandoned the fan in anger, but Mei Xueyan ignored her previous suspicions and picked up the fan and returned it to its original owner.

"How can you be so kind, why bother to behave! This county school is not a place for you to stay, you are a girl, how good is your mouth? You can't even get through the door in this township! ”

Shen Ziwen's eyes are empty, how can he be grateful to her? I just thought that she was intimidated by her identity and showed favor to herself. But this time he learned to be obedient and stopped yelling.

"Whether I can get in or not, but it's not up to Childe to decide."

This person didn't know what to do, Mei Xueyan couldn't help frowning.

"Let me ask you, since ancient times, has there been a sage who has explicitly stipulated that women cannot participate in scientific examinations?"

Shen Ziwen didn't know how to answer, even Confucius didn't say this, and the Jingguo Academy didn't stipulate that women could not participate in the imperial examination.

Before he could come up with an answer, a cold drink came.

"Nope!"

The voice was not loud but it was majestic, and everyone looked over, it was the old Confucian who had been sitting at the door of the county school, and before the time for the exam came, he had been sitting on the chair with his eyes closed and recuperating, and he didn't know when he stood up.

"During the township test, what kind of system did you make noise outside the county school!"

The old Confucian pulled his face, obviously not very happy, looking around, everyone bowed their heads slightly, not daring to be disrespectful to him, when the old Confucian glanced at Mei Xueyan, his mouth was angry, but it was a little less cold.

"The hour has come! Enter the exam room in order! ”

The old Confucian only said one word, and everyone rushed to line up, but it was not particularly crowded, after all, under the old man's nose, they did not dare to be presumptuous, and they were not noisy for a while.

Mei Xueyan also lined up in the line and secretly talked to Chen Junsheng.

"Jun Sheng, who is this old gentleman? They seemed to be afraid of him. ”

Chen Junsheng patted his chest and said, "Just now, you argued with Shen Ziwen and angered his old man, so he didn't punish you." He is the president of the county school, surnamed Feng, and one of the invigilators of the township exam, can he not be afraid? ”

Mei Xueyan also stuck out his tongue and said, "It turned out to be Feng Yuanjun, who doesn't seem to have a good temper." ”

The Yuan Jun is the head of the first academy, similar to the principal of the school, this township examination still holds the power of life and death of everyone, to annoy him, it is also common to blast people out of the examination room, no wonder everyone is silent.

"Yan Niang, don't slander his old man, he is harsh, it is said that few of his students are not punished by him, and the students in the county school are in awe of him." Chen Junsheng whispered, "He is a real man, he seems to be too straight and stubborn, and he offended many high-ranking officials, so he committed himself to being the king of the county school." ”

It's understandable to be depressed and have a strange temperament.

Mei Xueyan nodded understandingly, lifting people is already a high literary position, like the county order of Lin'an County is just a lifting person, this Feng Yuanjun originally had more than such a future, it seems that he was assigned.

There are also three, six, nine and so on, and the smallest is the Mengxue Hall, where there is usually a child as a teacher to enlighten those young children. Then there are private schools, and the better private schools have Xiucai teaching.

Then there is the school, the county school is government-run, and the private school is run by the clan, and the school of the Lin Mansion is also the light of the ancestors, and it has always had some status in Lin'an County, and there are many scholars. Otherwise, with the current situation of the Lin family, it would be impossible to run a school.

Finally, there is the academy, which is the place where all scholars yearn for study, only one place has a college, and the entire Huatong Mansion only has the government-run Huatong Academy and another private academy, as for Lin'an County, there is none.

Feng Qiumo could not be called "Yuan Jun", but he was the honorific title of everyone.

Soon it was Mei Xueyan's turn, she looked at the three big words "County School" on the plaque, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the steps.

"Check!"

Before entering the examination room, you must check your name, and there are special people to check your bags, everyone else is a bag of books, but Mei Xueyan only has a small cloth bag that she sews by herself, and there are only three things in it, pen and ink inkstone, and it is the worst quality.

Feng Qiumo sat aside, his old eyes showed a little light from time to time, he naturally didn't need to do it himself, he just took the booklet to verify.

"Mei Xueyan."

Mei Xueyan reported her name, Feng Qiumo put a tick on the booklet, I don't know if he didn't care or was too lazy to speak, he kept a straight face from the beginning, which made people nervous out of thin air, and Chen Junsheng even trembled a little in the back.

"What's in your sleeve?!"

The person who checked suddenly asked, Mei Xueyan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Chen Junsheng gave her two steamed buns in the morning, and she had one left to warm her hands, and she was also going to take them to satisfy her hunger at noon, but when she took them out, she was already frozen and stiff.

When others saw it, they couldn't help but laugh, others were solemnly brought enough exam items, for fear that the brush would be broken, the ink would not be easy to use, and they were even worried that the inkstone would fall off the table and break, and all kinds of accidents were taken into account, so even the inkstone was brought with more than one.

This girl is also a strange girl, and she actually brought a big white steamed bun.

Mei Xueyan didn't know what they were laughing at, but she was embarrassed to say, "I'm afraid that I'll be hungry during the exam, so I'll use it to satisfy my hunger." ”

Feng Yuanjun, who was silent, suddenly spoke: "On the day of the exam, the school will provide food at noon, so let's go in." ”

I said it earlier, Mei Xueyan didn't understand this, so she made a little joke and smiled at Feng Qiumo.

"Thank you, Feng Yuanjun."

After speaking, he took his steamed bun and bookbag and hurried in, not to delay others.

The person who inspected was slightly stunned, it was strange enough for this woman to participate in the township test, Feng Qiumo was notoriously strict, and she didn't pay attention to anyone in the morning, how could she be kind to this little girl? The tone is quite kind?!

Feng Qiumo looked sideways at the steamed bun in her hand.

I muttered in my heart: "I cherish food." ”
