Bang!

"I won't marry, I won't marry if I die, I want to marry you yourself!"

After speaking, Cao Nier kicked down the stool, turned her face and left, the angry old Cao scolded, Chun Erniang smiled awkwardly, Sun Yue and Sun Chunming looked at each other.

If it weren't for the beginning to the end, the father and son would have thought that this was going to marry him to the stupid son of a landlord and a rich man.

But in fact, what Chun Erniang said this time is really a young talent, the only son of Liao Yuanwai in Chengxi, who is only fifteen years old this year, and he looks extremely handsome, so he helped his father take care of the business very well, Cao Nier herself has seen it, and Liao Yuanwai's family is also a good family, no matter from which point of view, it is a good match.

That Chun Erniang also scolded in her heart, the old body has just started, you give a chance to recommend, why is it so difficult to say about your family's relatives.

"I'm! I'm! Did you talk to her dad like that? It's just unfilial! Unfilial! ”

Zhang gently picked Lao Cao's head and said: "How can there be such a thing as you, my daughter's family is thin-skinned, this is reluctant to you, you stay here, entertain Chun Erniang, I'll ask Nier about the situation and see what's going on." ”

Since moving to a new house, the original Widow Zhang was finally coaxed by Lao Cao, and now the two of them are sleeping in the same room, and Widow Zhang has become Zhang's, but Zhang's family has died regardless of her mother-in-law's family or her mother's family, but she didn't do anything, and she gave a name or something.

Sun Yue jumped up and said, "I'll go too, I'll go." So he and Zhang entered Cao Nier's boudoir together.

saw that Cao Nier was sitting on the bed alone and sulking, and when she saw Zhang coming, she deliberately turned sideways and pouted.

Sun Yue took off her shoes, jumped on the bed in one step, and said with a smile: "Sister, why are you angry, I remember that you told me a few days ago that Mr. Liao was very handsome." ”

"Go! What do children know? ”

Zhang also sat down and said with a smile: "Nier, what do you think, tell your aunt, aunt will tell you, don't we look down on that Liao Gongzi?" ”

Cao Nier said aggrievedly, "I'm angry with my father, and he is in such a hurry to marry me off?" Auntie, you tell my father, I don't marry, my eldest mother is old and sick, and she can't be without relatives to take care of her, so let him talk about this later. ”

Zhang said with a smile: "Silly girl, how can a woman not marry, this marriage is early, we pick others, marry late, but people pick us, your aunt has an aunt to take care of, you can rest assured." ”

Cao Nier pouted again, turned her face away, and said angrily: "Anyway, I won't marry, I won't marry if I die, I just learned to read and write, I don't want to marry a man so early, have a child, and revolve around a man and a child for the rest of my life."

Zhang was surprised: "Which woman doesn't revolve around men and children?" You kid, don't you want to be a sister-in-law in the future? ”

Sun Yue smiled and said, "Sister Mo doesn't want to marry a scholar?" ”

Cao Nier's face flushed, and she replied shyly.

Zhang Shi was happy and said: "It turns out that the heart is high, it's okay, when the spring is released, my aunt and your father will go to block it, and promise to catch a green-clothed man for you, how about it?" ”

Who knew that Cao Nier was even more angry, and said: "I don't want to catch a son-in-law on the list, it's just a shame to die, besides, how many of those so-called green clothes are decent?" Last year, the shopkeeper next door caught one for their daughter, who is forty-three years old, is this looking for a husband or a big father. ”

Catch a son-in-law under the list, it is a unique marriage culture of the Great Song Dynasty, every year when the list is released, the rich families of Kaifeng will gather at the edge of Jinmingchi with their daughters, and grab the new Kejinshi who looks a little more pleasing to the eye to rob home, and then sell their own girls in various ways, because the new Kejinshi in addition to the champion are given green robes, so it is also called robbing the green clothes, there is a poem that says: but remember that Jinmingchi is on the road, and the red skirts compete to see the green clothes.

Sun Yue complained: "With our family's conditions, the green clothes under the age of thirty don't have to think about it at all, if you can catch a fifty, it can be regarded as burning high incense, I have heard a poem, 'Read all the documents for a hundred loads, and you will get a green shirt when you are old.'" The matchmaker asked Yu how old he was, forty years ago and thirty-three. "Auntie, I think it's okay, it's quite appropriate to snatch back one to be a wife with my eldest mother." ”

Zhang's face darkened: "Go!" If you don't help to clean up the chaos, then you say, this can't do it, it doesn't work, how do you want to drop. ”

Cao Nu held back for a long time and said, "I want to choose myself." ”

Zhang said angrily: "Choose yourself?" Which one to choose? Where do you go? ”

"I want to go to school."

Ha?

Zhang was stunned, "Go to school? What do you go to school? I'm going to die! Whose girl doll goes to school? Will you marry in the future? This is iniquity! Brother Yue didn't go to school, what did you go to? ”

Sun Yue said: "Auntie, this is wrong, it's not that I don't go to school, I just don't look down on those Mengxue, to say a little boastful, if there is a child this year, I take it like a bag to take things, that is, the Ming Jing also has seven or eight points of certainty, I go to them to be a gentleman is enough, if it is not too young people do not accept it, I must find a academy." ”

Zhang slapped his thigh and said: "Oh, I don't understand this and that, the female doll's family is just reading and reading, what is going to school?" ”

Sun Yue said: "I think it's okay, what's wrong with girls going to school, it's not that they don't go to school, almost all the women from those high-ranking officials and nobles are in school, they don't know how to be polite if they don't study, my sister is so beautiful, why do you let people pick us?" What else do you catch a green-clothed man, fart, my sister, if you want to marry, you have to marry a green-clothed young man. ”

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, the status of women was still very high, not much worse than in the Tang Dynasty, the so-called door is not out of the second door is basically nonsense, and there are not no people who go to school, but there are very few, most of them are children of high-ranking officials and nobles, although Cheng Zhu Lixue became with the Song Dynasty, but it was a matter of the Ming Dynasty to hold the altar, and it only developed to the point of perversion in the Qing Dynasty, and no one really took them seriously in the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty produced big female writers like Li Qingzhao, Su Xiaomei, and Tang Wan, of course, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were only Liu Rushi and Xiaofengxian.

As for what kind of nonsense such as starvation and death, if Cheng Yi dared to say it twenty years earlier, Fan Zhongyan would have to slap him with a big mouth, because Fan Zhongyan's mother took him to remarry, and after his son died early, he also married his daughter-in-law to his student, and Sima Guang also advocated that women go to school many times in public.

So in the Song Dynasty, it was not uncommon for women to study and go to school, but they couldn't enter the academy.

Zhang sighed and said, "It's okay, I can't say you, let your father go and tell you to go." ”
