Chapter 2 Forget your worries for a while
Before the voice was finished, a gentle voice in the cell next to Si Ying interrupted her and said, "Sister Yuan, you are also a fallen person at the end of the world, why bother talking about these ......"
"Hmph, Sister Wen is still in the mood to preach, I think you still have to worry about yourself......" The woman surnamed Yuan sneered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Peiwen suddenly said loudly: "This is the prison of Dali Temple, your husband is still on trial, you are nagging about this, are you afraid that Dali Temple will forget you?" ”
When the Yuan clan heard this, he stopped talking, and he muttered something in his mouth, and then stopped squeaking.
Liu Peiwen turned to Si Ying and smiled: "It turns out that you still teach music rhythm." ”
Si Ying was a little disappointed, and knew in his heart that it was very taboo to speak carelessly in prison, so he gave up the idea of asking, raised a bright smile, and replied to Liu Peiwen: "Yes, in addition to learning Confucian scriptures, we also need to learn poetry, law, metaphysics, historical books, arithmetic, poetry, painting, music, female red, chess, calligraphy, and another gentleman teaches incense, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, cooking, ......."
Liu Peiwen was a little surprised when she saw that although she was not as deep as the city government at a young age, she was already able to control her emotions and did not ask her about things that she shouldn't ask, she was a little surprised and a little pitiful, and said with a smile: "It is said that the Taiping School Palace produces talented women, I didn't expect you to learn so many things at such a young age." After you learn this, you will become a female officer, right? ”
"It's still far away, our school palace is divided into Mengxue, Maoxue, Chengxue and Jiaxue, the first three stages of each period of learning for three years, Mengxue is enlightenment literacy and some basic knowledge, Maoxue and Chengxue to learn classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if you want to be a female official, you have to be admitted to Jiaxue, in Confucianism, liberal arts, law, arithmetic, Xuanke, history, medicine, calligraphy, martial arts nine major to pick a specialization, each subject up to six years, if you pass the exam can graduate early, after the examination can be a female official, or pick a skill specialization, It will also take several years to repair, and in the future, you can also work as a technician or official in the supervision of Dushui and Jiangzuo. ”
A crisp child's voice came from the cell on the other side: "Mother, I also want to go to a girls' school." There was a mother and daughter locked up in the cell next to her, this little girl had been very quiet, and Si Ying was only concerned about her sadness a few days ago, and she didn't notice it before.
The girl's mother's voice was soft: "Then you ask this sister how to go to a girls' school." ”
Si Ying said with a smile: "Mengxue is very simple, as long as you are willing to go, you can listen to the class after handing in the bundle, but you have to prepare the books, paper and pencil by yourself, and you have to pass the exam to learn Maoxue and Chengxue." ”
Wen smiled on the other side and asked, "Hey, it's going to take so long to study, how old are you going to be when you're done?" ”
Si Ying said with a smile: "After graduating from school, most of them are just in the year of Jilu, or one or two years older, in fact, most people go back to marry after finishing school, only those who want to be female officials must take the Jiaxue exam, Jiaxue is the same as men's Taixue, and the knowledge of female officials is not inferior to men, and they can stand side by side with men in the court!" ”
The child's voice said coquettishly: "Mother, I will also be a female official in the future." When we go home, you can ask my father to send me to the girls' school too. When Si Ying heard this, his heart was sour, this child was afraid that he was three or four years younger than himself, and he didn't realize that the fate of his life had changed.
"Okay, when we get home, we'll go as soon as we get home." The girl's mother's sigh was soft, but it weighed on everyone's heart.
Si Ying hurriedly raised his voice and asked, "What is the name of Madame?" ”
The girl's mother said softly: "My husband's surname is Zhao, and my mother's family is Yin." ”
Si Ying smiled: "It turned out to be Mrs. Yin." What's that little sister's name and how old is she? ”
The little girl didn't wait for her mother to speak, and said to herself: "My name is Zhao Mingzhen, and I am seven years old this year. Zhen is the supreme Qin Zhen. ”
Si Ying smiled: "Reasonable, knowledgeable, good name." ”
The little girl said proudly: "I can also write my sister's name!" ”
"So you're already enlightened?" Si Ying asked.
Zhao Mingzhen replied: "The family invited me to a husband, but I am alone, it's not interesting, if I go to a women's school, will someone study with me?" ”
Si Ying smiled: "Yes, then you have a lot of classmates." ”
Wen was also interested in women's studies, and asked, "Speaking of which, is your gentleman a man or a woman?" ”
Si Ying responded: "There are men and women, but the people in charge are all women. The male gentlemen were all hired from outside. ”
Wen smiled: "I've heard a lot of rumors about female students, but it's the first time I've heard from your students. ”
"Rumors?" Si Yinggang wanted to ask carefully, but heard Liu Peiwen suddenly interject and say, "You have already taught such a difficult tune in your music and rhythm class?" ”
She had no choice but to accept the idea of inquiry, and replied with a smile: "Sister smiled, in fact, the music class has not taught this song, but last time Mr. played this song for us to appreciate, I liked it in my heart, so I practiced it privately, but there are always some points on the fingers, presumably my sister is proficient in music, I still have a few questions about this song, I don't know if my sister can solve my doubts?" ”
Wen smiled on the side: "You little girl will ask people, your sister Liu is a closed disciple of the world's great pianist Du Shanren, and she has learned her master's master's master." ”
Liu Peiwen said modestly: "Actually, my piano skills are as good as the master's, and I am worthy of the master's guidance." ”
Si Ying suddenly thought of something and asked, "I take the liberty of asking my sister, what is your relationship with the late Han Shilang's family?" ”
"Yes, my husband is the literary Hanzhou Qiu of Yanwangfu, and the one you are talking about is my father-in-law." Liu Peiwen said with a smile.
Si Ying asked again: "Then...... Does Mr. Hato have a relationship with his sister? ”
"It's my grandfather."
"It's really you!" Si Ying was a little excited, and said with a smile: "My father admires Mr. Hedong's literary talents, and very much admires Mr. Hedong's 'Wen Yimingdao', and often mentions to me that Mr. Hedong has a granddaughter, not only in terms of knowledge, but also in the true inheritance of Mr. Hedong, the piano also studied under Du Shanren, it can be said that it is a talent and art, I have always wanted to let my mother take me to the Korean writer to visit my sister, but unfortunately there is something delayed at home, I didn't expect to see you here, it is really disrespectful." After that, he respectfully saluted Liu Peiwen.
Liu Peiwen bowed back and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be it, I'll just say that we are destined, but presumably the female student has a lot of complaints about my grandfather's affairs back then." ”
Si Ying said with a smile: "Although Mr. Hedong tried his best to oppose female students and female officials back then, Emperor Zheng still attached great importance to Mr. Zheng's ability to write articles, and specially instructed the school governor to ask us to write articles 'to seek all ways and leave them behind', and we should do 'auxiliary time and transitivity'." ”
Liu Peiwen looked up at the high window of the cell, and sighed: "I didn't expect that Emperor Zheng was the person who understood my grandfather best, if this was the case, the family would have sent me to a women's school, it must have been a different situation......
After the death of Emperor Taizu Gao Emperor Li Zhan, the enthroned Emperor Taizong Xuan Emperor Li Yin reigned for more than four years, and he contracted an illness on the way back from Goryeo, and died suddenly a few months after returning to the palace. His son Li Yi was only five years old when he ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Zheng was respected as the Empress Dowager, and was referred to as Empress Zheng by the courtiers, his mother Xiaoyi Xuanxu Empress had died of illness two years ago, and did not stand again, Emperor Zheng listened to the government, Li Hui reached the age of 20, Emperor Zheng returned to power, the young emperor also wanted a new atmosphere at the beginning of his reign, he was diligent in government affairs, drastic reform in the court, cutting redundancy, selecting good talents, removing the old and cloth the new, I didn't expect that only two years later, the queen's family was involved in a major corruption case, when the queen was pregnant, Hearing this news all day long, leading to premature birth, postpartum blood collapse and death, Li Yi is very sad, and the political affairs are not smooth, the war is lost, natural disasters are frequent, since then disheartened, indulged in the elixir all day long, ignore the government, the ministers on the table to pray for Emperor Zheng to come to the court, Emperor Zheng can't, had to start regent again, Li Yi died seven years later, the temple name is Gaozong, the name is Emperor Rui, his son ascended the throne at the age of eleven, Emperor Zheng was respected as the Empress Dowager Zeng and continued to hang the curtain until he returned to power at the age of seventy-six, and died two years later.
Emperor Zheng reigned for fifty-five years and became regent for nearly thirty years, and now, she has been dead for more than 20 years, but she still has an incomparably lofty status in the hearts of officials and people in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to implementing the national policy set by Taizu Li Zhan, she also founded the Women's School and appointed female officials, which further advanced the open atmosphere of women in the previous Northern Dynasties.
Liu Peiwen's grandfather, Mr. Hedong Liu Zongyuan, was relied on by Emperor Zheng during his lifetime, and once the official was the right scholar, but soon after, the Queen Mother wanted to set up a female official who could really hold real power in the court, and was opposed by many ministers in the court, headed by her grandfather, and soon Emperor Zheng demoted her to Liuzhou, and said that unless he sent his own granddaughter to the Taiping Xue Palace, he didn't want to return to the court, Liu Peiwen's father Liu Tuesday wanted to meet Emperor Zheng's request to send his daughter to the court, As a result, after receiving the news, the old gentleman immediately wrote a letter to his son and scolded him, and said that if he sent his granddaughter to a women's school, he would cut off the father-son relationship with him. Because of the relationship between the Liu family and the female school, Liu Peiwen was full of curiosity about the female school, so when she heard that the girl was in a female school, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Liu Peiwen put away his thoughts, shook his head with a smile, and said to Si Ying: "I have only learned a few years more than you in piano skills, since you asked, I will guide you with a cheeky face." ”
In the next few days, Si Ying took out all the things he didn't understand and asked Liu Peiwen for advice, first in piano skills, and then gradually began to discuss knowledge. Liu Peiwen has a deep family history, and when he explains, he is well-informed and well-adjusted, while Si Ying is smart and clever, often thorough at one point, and draws inferences from one example. One is willing to teach, the other likes to learn, and the two often talk with great interest for most of the day. The people in the cell were all wives and girls from official families, and many of them were not only literate and hyphenated, but also quite talented, and when the two of them discussed, they couldn't help but quiet down and pricked up their ears to listen, and gradually, at this time in the prison, even the sound of crying disappeared.
The rest of the time, Si Ying will teach Zhao Mingzhen "Analects", the little girl is very smart, and she will memorize it after following Si Ying a few times.
After discussing the knowledge, Si Ying would take the thatch and weave some small things, and the female cell head confiscated it as usual every day, but what to say, every time the meal was delivered, there would be more than half a piece of bread, and the porridge in the bowl would be thicker, and Si Ying would add some thatch every three or five days. Si Ying would put the half of the cake into a small basket made of thatch, and keep it for the night when he was hungry. She also braided a thatched rope, and when the jailer slept at night, she tied a small stone to one end of the rope and threw it to Liu Peiwen and Zhao Mingzhen, took the small basket and put a few straw gadgets on it, slid it along the rope, and gave it to them to play with.
The days in prison were still hard, and Si Ying tried to enrich herself, and she felt that it was not so difficult.
