Chapter 11: The Female Household
Seeing the middle-aged scholar's gaze, Su Wen did not have the slightest stage fright, but behaved quite calmly. She looked back calmly, her eyes revealed unshakable firmness, her eyebrows were full of confidence that was difficult to ignore, and the whole person looked outstanding.
Finding the confidence between her eyebrows, the middle-aged scholar showed a satisfied face, and then said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, the little girl should be from the women's family, right?" ”
Listening to his question, Su Wen nodded lightly, and replied with a smile: "Mr. expected it to be good, the younger generation is indeed from a female family. ”
Seeing that she spoke decently, the middle-aged scholar said with admiration: "I have seen some daughters of female families, but none of them are as confident and indifferent as you. ”
After saying that, he looked at Su Wen with burning eyes, as if waiting for her to explain the reason.
Seeing his gaze, Su Wen explained with a smile: "Although he was born in a female family, the younger generation does not feel inferior. On the contrary, the younger generation can do more for the family, and the heart is naturally full of confidence? ”
Hearing her loud declaration, the middle-aged scholar showed a hint of respect on his face, but he still asked: "As far as I know, everyone looks down on the daughter of a female family, don't you care?" ”
Hearing this, Su Wen couldn't help laughing, and then replied seriously: "Being looked down upon by others, it's nothing." As long as we don't look down on ourselves, we will always have a day to impress others. ”
Hearing her answer, the middle-aged scholar suddenly felt awe-inspired. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that it was a little girl of twelve or thirteen who said this.
Seeing the excited look on his face, Su Wen was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly shifted the intersection and said, "Sir, you haven't answered the question just now?" ”
It was only at this time that the middle-aged scholar remembered the question just now, and immediately replied: "Emperor Taizu took pity on the poor and the weak, and promulgated an edict exempting female households from taxes and forced labor as early as the beginning of the founding of the country. ”
Receiving this news, Su Wen felt a burst of excitement in his heart. She had just guessed that there might be a care policy, but she didn't expect it to be like this. According to such regulations, their Chinese family did not have to bear taxes and forced labor. I don't know how much money I can save, but at least I avoid the fate of being exploited.
At this time, Su Wen finally felt the benefits of the female household. In addition to being secretly looked down upon, the life of the female household is not so sad. The reason why daughters from female households are looked down upon is that they cannot marry like other girls. In the eyes of these women, they are not blessed.
Unfortunately, Su Wen doesn't care about that. She comes from a modern society thousands of years later, and has received equal education between men and women since she was a child, so she has no idea of having to get married. In her opinion, instead of marrying a man with three wives and four concubines, it is better to recruit a son-in-law to go home. Needless to say, at least there is no need to waste your mind in the back house.
Besides, when a girl marries into her husband's family, she still has to look at her mother-in-law's face. Rather than serving an old woman with little friendship, she would rather support her mother. It is precisely because of these reasons that Su Wen feels that his current identity is good. Unless she is trading for the identity of a princess, she would rather die than agree.
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Su Wen bowed deeply and thanked sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. for your advice, the juniors are grateful." The younger generation still has some money on him, and please don't dislike it. ”
After speaking, she took out a purse from her body, took out a silver ingot from it, and carefully placed it on the calligraphy and painting stall.
Casually glancing at the silver on the stall, the middle-aged scholar didn't seem to take it too seriously, but asked curiously: "The little girl is so knowledgeable, she should have read a book, right?" ”
Su Wen listened and replied with a gloomy face: "Back to Mr. Hui, the younger generation has indeed studied with his grandfather for a few years. It's a pity that before the younger generation had time to fulfill his filial piety, his grandfather passed away. ”
Seeing her gloomy face, the middle-aged scholar immediately changed to a serious expression, and comforted her: "Little girl, don't be sad. As long as you have this piece of filial piety, your grandfather's spirit in heaven will definitely be able to sense it. ”
When Su Wen heard this, he immediately squeezed out a smile, and said apologetically: "Let Mr. see it smile, the younger generation is grateful for his grandfather's love, so much so that he lost his temper just now." ”
Hearing her apology, the middle-aged scholar showed a look of appreciation, and said with a smile: "The little girl is touched by filial piety, I can't be moved yet, how can I mind." ”
Hearing him say this, Su Wen relieved himself. She was really worried that the performance just now was too much, which would cause the disgust of this middle-aged scholar. Although it was only a few simple exchanges, Su Wen had already keenly noticed that the middle-aged scholar was not ordinary. He spoke freely, not at all like a down-and-out scholar who sold words for a living, but like a knowledgeable and talented Confucian.
Seeing that the identity of the middle-aged scholar was not ordinary, Su Wen was more careful when he spoke. She maintained good etiquette from beginning to end, and finally took the opportunity to show filial piety. Judging by the reaction of the middle-aged scholar, her performance should be quite successful. To make a good impression on such a person, she may be able to get a little extra care in the future.
At this moment, a horse suddenly galloped in the distance. There is still a distance away, and the two people on the calligraphy and painting stall have already discovered it in advance. When they arrived at a place more than ten zhang away from the calligraphy and painting stall, the horse stopped. Immediately after that, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy jumped off. , striding towards the calligraphy and painting stall.
Seeing the young man coming, a trace of doubt rose in Su Wen's heart. He took the horsewhip and walked this way, could it be that he wanted to trouble this scholar?
Walking to the calligraphy and painting stall, the young man said impatiently: "Sir, it's not that you don't have enough money to spend, why do you have to come here to sell words?" ”
Hearing the young man's question, the middle-aged scholar just smiled slightly, and then asked rhetorically: "You didn't say you couldn't come yesterday, why are you coming here now?" ”
Looking at his easy-going expression, it seemed that he was not the slightest dissatisfied with the young man's attitude. The interaction between the two of them was very interesting, and Su Wen found it very interesting.
Hearing the middle-aged scholar's question, the young man showed a helpless look, and complained dissatisfiedly: "If it wasn't for my mother forcing me to come, I wouldn't have bothered to take a second look." ”
Seeing the young man's appearance, the middle-aged scholar laughed, and then pointed at the young man and said, "Mrs. Mo, this is for your good, you still feel wronged." ”
When the boy heard this, he snorted dissatisfiedly, but then said nothing. Of course, he understands that this is for his good, but in his heart he just doesn't like to be disciplined.
Seeing the young man's reaction, the corners of Su Wen's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile. This kind of adolescent rebellious teenager, she hadn't seen it for a long time. When Leng Buding met one, she suddenly remembered herself when she was an adolescent, and she couldn't help but smile on her face...... PS: Can you guess the identity of this teenager? Don't say it, don't say it, even if you don't say it, the identity of the teenager in the next chapter is about to come out. Tomorrow, I will continue to rush the new book list, ask for long reviews, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, and don't be stingy with the recommendation votes in your hands.
