"The incense passes over the building railing, the spring is bright in the courtyard, and the wind hugs the girl to sleep. The flowers are yellow and the temples are colorful, and the soft skirt is admirable. With wide eyes, far and near, the pothos is red. Looking for taste, and such a view, add love and intoxication......"

Outside the window, the thunderstorm stopped early in summer, the clouds opened, and the morning sun prevailed.

As expected, Zhu Zilong explained the rice to Li Sanniang after getting up, she just looked shy, but she didn't say anything.

In Li Sanniang's view, this is obviously a manifestation of Zhu Zilong's affection for her. You must know that there are more than one ton of refined rice in these years, and the price of rice is 640 grams in the Song Dynasty 1 city catty. Song Dynasty 1 stone 92.5 Song Jin (Shen Kuo's Mengxi Pen Talk Volume 3, "All stones are based on ninety-two and a half catties, and the Han scale is three hundred and forty-one catties").

That's not a small amount of money!

The current price of rice is about 1-2 yuan per stone, that is, converted into the modern kilogram system, this ton of rice is more than 20-30 stones, and it is fine rice, only the rich and noble will eat, and the price will be doubled.

That's worth about 100 to 200 yuan!

And 1 copper coin is about 1,200 yuan in the modern 21st century, which is equivalent to Zhu Zilong coming to help halfway and resting at her house for a night. Nothing fell, but gave her a gift package of tens of thousands of yuan.

And this is almost a year's income for Li Sanniang to open a small shop.

-

In the mill, because the shop will open again tomorrow, and there are dozens of more mouths to eat at home today. Although those girls can cook by themselves, this tofu can only be made by Li Sanniang herself.

At this time, the maid hired by Li Sanniang was not there, and it was extremely inconvenient for her to carry things alone.

The barrel itself is very heavy, and with a bucket full of tofu brains, I am afraid it will cost more than 200 catties. Zhu Zilong then had the dual intention of learning to make tofu and eating beautiful tofu, and he was obliged to come forward to help.

Without saying a word, he took the flat burden, picked up a large wooden barrel at one end, picked it up with one hand steadily, and picked it up to the door of the store quickly.

When Li Sanniang saw the tofu Xi Shi, she was speechless in shock in the mill, and her jaw was about to fall to the ground.

"Is this still human...... God, two big wooden barrels and a thick bar, I'm afraid there are 500 catties...... It is said that the prince is usually romantic, and he has no power to entangle chickens, it seems that everyone in the world is deceiving me! ”

Seeing that the door of the store was open, even if there was a note posted outside that the store was closed today, there were still regular customers who came in to inquire about the sale of tofu.

Seeing this situation, Li Sanniang saw that the tofu seemed to be too much anyway, so she simply sold it as usual.

And Zhu Zilong was on the side, looking at the street that was gradually gaining popularity, and began to say to himself: "Song Dynasty...... It already has the appearance of a city, and it seems to have a class of citizens. Looking at the people coming and going, I have to say that it really looks like a modern third-tier city in China......"

To say that the capital of the Great Song Dynasty has the appearance of a third-tier city-level city in modern China is not to belittle the Great Song Dynasty, but to praise the Great Song Dynasty.

You must know that this is the Song Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, and it can have such a similar scale, looking at this era, it is definitely NO1!

Looking back again, I looked at Li Sanniang, who was selling tofu in front of the storefront, looking like a strong woman. Zhu Zilong nodded inadvertently, among all the ancient dynasties, when it comes to equality between men and women, there is only the Tang and Song dynasties!

The reason for this is simple!

That is because in the Tang Dynasty, the only female emperor in history appeared - Wu Zetian, because of her reasons, the status of women in the Tang Dynasty has been greatly improved.

During the Song Dynasty, the status of women was not low, and whether women were respected and recognized by society first depended on their political status.

From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, there were eight empress dowagers who listened to the government nine times, which was unprecedented in history.

Among them, two of them are peerless, one is known as "Wu Zetian of the Song Dynasty", Renzong Zhang dedicated to Liu E, the queen of Mingsu. She went from a singing orphan girl to a queen of the world, and directly staged a legend of a Chinese-style Cinderella.

The other is to take down the iron-fisted prime minister Wang Anshi, Yingzong Xuanren Shenglie Empress Gao Taotao, she has been in power for many years, and is called "Female Zhongyao Shun" by later generations.

Not only that, in the same era, there were also the Khitan Liao Emperor Chengtian Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan and the Broken Wrist Empress Dowager Shu Luping; Western Xia also had Empress Dowager Liang, who had been in power for many years.

It can be said that the Tang and Song dynasties were the social dynasties in which women's rights had awakened to a certain extent and were most similar to the equality of men and women in modern China.

Even if we don't talk about the relationship between politics and the upper class, we just look at the people.

Taking the Great Song Dynasty as an example, not to mention the literary world, Li Qingzhao alone is radiant. In this era of light martial arts, heavy literature, and many talented people, it can be written into the history of Chinese literature together with Su Shi, Zhou Bangyan, Xin Qiji, etc., not because of gender identity, but because of those poems that have been recited through the ages.

This is a kind of recognition that talent has been unanimously recognized by the world, and women can also reach the height of men.

In fact, not only Li Qingzhao, but also women in the Song Dynasty generally had a high cultural literacy, and there were many talented female lyricists such as Zhu Shuzhen, Wu Shuji, and Zhang Yuniang. With all its influence, even the Khitan Liao Kingdom in the far north has also emerged female writers such as Xiao Guanyin and Xiao Sese, which is amazing.

I have to say that this is an era of "sparkling wicker softness", and this is an era of "peach blossoms and brocade waves on the shore".

The bustling city of the Song Dynasty gave birth to a splendid culture, and also made the women in the middle of it more intellectual, elegant and calm and confident.

Although Cheng Zhu Lixue has also been born and gradually began to spread, these Song Dynasty women are still unwilling to be buried, bound, and imprisoned. They are amorous, tenacious, hard-working, and live a wanton and colorful life, adding beautiful and moving rhyme and brilliance to this era.

-

Soon, though.

Zhu Zilong's inner feeling woke up in an aunt-like cry.

"Yo, Sanniang. I just heard that you're married again, is that this the man? A middle-aged aunt customer, standing in front of Li Sanniang's stall, obviously looking like an acquaintance, looked at Zhu Zilong with his eyes, and then laughed loudly at Li Sanniang.

Li Sanniang's face suddenly flushed, and after a pause, she asked fiercely: "Which one is talking nonsense?" You're about to see clearly, this is the messenger who escorted the ladies of the government! ”

Who knows, the woman listened to Li Sanniang's words, but laughed more obviously.

"Yo, it's still a bad person, that's a good relationship...... Sanniang, I'll just say it. You look like this, even if you marry and remarry, you are still a person who guards yourself like jade. In the end, you can't just find one, you have to look good, you want to have an industry...... Sure enough, only a little has to be a bad person, and the one who takes it out of the scene is the one who takes it. ”

Well, now the misunderstanding is deeper. But also, this kind of thing between men and women, once people misunderstand, will only get darker and darker the more they explain.

"Sanniang, who is this?" Zhu Zilong suddenly stepped forward and asked.

When he interjected, Tofu Xi Shi Li Sanniang was even more ashamed and at a loss, she hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Zhu Zilongjia into the house: "Erlang, what are you still standing here for, go back to the house quickly." Just leave it to me! ”

Immediately, Li Sanniang was pushing and shoving at the moment, and her tone of voice was like scolding, but it was better to say that she was coquettish.

Let the regular customers outside all show a "I understand, it's really like this" expression!
