Chapter 403: The Status of Men and Women
Ji Ning and Zhao Yuanqi brother and sister, arrived at the Zuixianju Restaurant, just after noon, there were not many guests in the Zuixianju, and the three of them went directly to the private room on the second floor.
There is a pattern of tables and chairs in the Drunken Immortal Building, Zhao Yuanxuan was about to sit down, Zhao Yuanqi frowned and said: "Sister, you are too unruly, Brother Yongning and I are going to come here to talk, what are you doing here?" Now we still have to sit down, with you, how do we say something? ”
Zhao Yuanxuan said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, do you have anything unsightly that you can't let me know?" I'll listen to it and have some comments by the way, so why not? ”
"You!" Zhao Yuanqi shook his head and said, "It's not a lady's look, no wonder my father and mother always say that it will be a problem for you to marry someone in the future, who would want a girl like you to be a wife?" ”
Maybe it's because the brother and sister are used to bickering on weekdays, and Zhao Yuanqi regards Ji Ning as a confidant and friend, so he doesn't shy away from talking so much, and Zhao Yuanqi actually counts down his sister in front of Ji Ning. Zhao Yuanxuan said with a look of shame: "Big brother, you think it's very enjoyable to say bad things about your sister in front of people, don't you?" ”
Zhao Yuanxuan couldn't stand her as a big brother, especially when Zhao Yuanqi said bad things about her in front of her sweetheart.
Ji Ning said in a calm tone: "The county lord is just young and vigorous, maybe he will be calm in the future!" ”
If it was before, Zhao Yuanxuan would have scoffed at Ji Ning's innocuous words, but now Ji Ning's words are extremely pleasant to her. Zhao Yuanxuan snorted lightly and glared at his brother, as if he was talking, or listening to Ji Gongzi's words.
The three of them finally sat down, because Ji Ning had attended Zhao Yuanxuan and the banquet, and he personally inserted the hairpin for Zhao Yuanxuan, there was actually nothing to avoid about the identity between the three of them, and Zhao Yuanqi would not assert himself in front of Ji Ning, but was very peaceful and said some old things to Ji Ning.
“…… Yongning Zhongzhi Yuan, it is really gratifying, there are so many talents in Jinling City, and there are many people who take the examination in each township examination, Yongning can stand out, which just shows that Yongning is outstanding in learning, which is admirable! Zhao Yuanqi praised from the bottom of his heart.
Ji Ning didn't know how to answer this kind of compliment, and Zhao Yuanxuan said beside him: "Big brother, you are such a sycophant, it's okay to coax your father, and now you say this to Ji Gongzi, you want people not to get off the stage, right?" ”
"Little sister, when I talk to people, you'd better not interject, this is the first principle of being a lady." Zhao Yuanqi said coldly, "When a man speaks, women and children are not allowed to interject, even if they don't accept the teaching of court etiquette, these are the most basic rules, didn't the concubine teach you?" ”
The two brothers and sisters, walking outside, seemed to have a lot of hatred, to put it bluntly, the two brothers and sisters both wanted to leave a good impression in front of Ji Ning, one was their friend, and the other was their favorite person, but there was no contradiction with the outside world, but their own brothers and sisters fought first.
Zhao Yuanxuan wanted to say something, Ji Ning waved his hand and said: "The prince and the county lord, in fact, it is just a cloth cloth in the next place, and now he comes to the capital to take the exam, but he is just seeking a fame, and he can enter the Confucian Temple in the future to make a difference." If you want to say that in the previous township test, it was more of a coincidence that I was able to solve the yuan, and I was involved in a fraud case at that time, and I almost failed to get out of it, and it was all chance. ”
Zhao Yuanqi didn't care about arguing with his sister again, and sighed lightly: "What Yongning said is also that the fraud case was not small, but fortunately, the people sent by the imperial court and the Confucian Temple investigated thoroughly, and failed to let Yongning be wronged." Yongning, in a few days, it will be the Beijing Poetry Meeting, will you also participate? ”
Ji Ning glanced at Zhao Yuanxuan sideways, but seeing that Zhao Yuanxuan's eyes were a little more bright, he probably guessed that Zhao Yuanxuan would also participate in this poetry meeting.
He nodded and said, "I didn't want to participate, but I had a few friends around me who wanted to go, and I couldn't screw it, so I agreed to come down!" ”
"That's good, you can just appreciate Yongning's poetic talent, that is, you are not only unique in the article, but also second to none in the debate, and the strategy of governing the country is also the best among the people...... Yongning's poetry is also excellent. Yongning, you are simply an all-rounder, making people think that you are impeccable! Zhao Yuanqi had a sincere look of envy on his face.
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanxuan said sullenly: "It's just that the character is not good!" ”
"Sister!" Zhao Yuanqi looked at Zhao Yuanxuan with an angry face.
"I'm not wrong, his character is very average. Especially for women, before they got married, they began to hook up with three and four, and from the beginning they said that they wanted three wives and four concubines, and now they are entangled with the women of Qinlou Chuguan, and I don't know how many women there are around me in the future! Zhao Yuanxuan said indignantly.
Zhao Yuanqi said coldly: "The big husband is ambitious in all directions, a man with ability, what is it to have a few more women around him?" Even the father is not the only mother and concubine around him, and women are also the driving force for men to work hard! ”
Zhao Yuanxuan was still very dissatisfied, and said: "Excuse, why do we women have to guard women's ways?" You men can have three wives and four concubines? ”
Zhao Yuanqi didn't know how to argue with his sister for a while, because this incident itself was very unfair.
"County Lord, it's a bit shallow, I wonder if you'd like to hear it?" Ji Ning said suddenly.
"Yes, Yongning, your argument is very good, you can tell this girl, why can't a woman have three wives and four concubines, but a man can?" Zhao Yuanqi could only look at Ji Ning for help.
Ji Ning sighed lightly: "In fact, this is the background of this era, in general, it is the social productivity that determines the social status, who can create more social productivity, who can master more resources, then he has more power to distribute resources, in the current era of the Great Yong Dynasty, because of the backwardness of production tools, coupled with the preference for sons over women in the mainstream thought, production mainly depends on men, so that men occupy a large number of social resources, women will fall into the status of male vassals, so that men in the choice of spouses." , and the initiative is occupied. ”
"But society is always progressing, until social distribution, the core values have reached a relatively enlightened era, when women also have a corresponding social status, and men and women will be equal in society. The times are advancing, and society is also progressing, but in the current era, men's three wives and four concubines mainly come from their control of social resources! ”
Maybe what Ji Ning said was a bit complicated, and Zhao Yuanqi still needed to think about it, but Zhao Yuanxuan's brain was obviously smarter than her brother.
"You still haven't said, why can men have three wives and four concubines after they have social resources, but women can't!" Zhao Yuanxuan was aggressive.
"Women have power and status, and they can also have multiple men, but they don't make things public. County Lord, isn't it? Ji Ning asked very leisurely, and Zhao Yuanxuan had nothing to say at this time.
