Chen Wen's question is very impolite, and it does not conform to the tradition of this era, if you are interested, you should also invite a matchmaker, perform six courtesies, and conclude a marriage, how can there be a reason to make an appointment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Zhou Jingting heard this, he became angry and clenched his fists, as if he was going to use his fists and feet. But after a while, only a sigh was heard, and Zhou Jingting nodded and responded to the matter. Only in that sigh, for some reason, Chen Wen heard a trace of relief.

Early the next morning, the carriage of the Zhou family left the city and came to the Xifeng Temple on the back of the Xifeng Mountain in the western suburbs of the city, which was the place agreed by Chen Wen.

There are many Buddhist temples in Zhejiang, Jinhua is no exception, not to mention anything else, the Tianning Wanshou Temple in the south of the city is very famous, and the Yongfu Temple in the north of the sub-city also has a ten thousand Buddha pagoda that can overlook the whole city, which is quite a good place to go. However, there is a mass grave behind this temple, but Chen Wen specially selected it, and even invited the monks in the temple to eat elsewhere.

Outside the temple were guarded by Chen Wen's guards, and when the carriage entered the temple, the little sister of the Zhou family got off the carriage and walked into the main hall alone. None of the people who accompanied him were allowed to enter, and Zhou Jingting, who came to him, could only wait outside the main hall, not to mention the coachman and maid of the Zhou family.

"Master Hou's move is very abrupt."

The fact that they were able to come today was also discussed by the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family, and they did not dare to let their parents know, let alone let their uncle know. It's just that although Chen Wen's intention has been roughly guessed, it is still difficult for the little sister of the Zhou family to understand this faux pas. At this moment, I just want to make my words clear.

"That's true, lest I mistake the reputation of Zhou Xiaoniang, and the temple has been emptied, and no outsiders will know about it."

Chen Wen had already expected this conversation, after all, he was abrupt first, but before deciding on something, he still wanted to know the thoughts of the other party, and he also tried to learn as much as possible.

"Master Hou is not a fool, how can he not know about hiding his ears and stealing the bell?" Sighing, the little sister of the Zhou family turned to say: "The concubine is a small person, and the Hou Ye is now famous all over the world, if you are honest in such things, it will not be beneficial in the end." ”

Since the last time she borrowed Chen Wen to scare off her sister-in-law's brother, rumors soon spread in the boudoir of Jinhua Mansion City that Chen Wen might marry the Zhou family, so much so that all the people who had come to the door to ask for marriage in those days were scared away.

Let that He Gongzi retreat in the face of difficulties, this is her original purpose, and with Chen Wen's status and that prestigious reputation, it stands to reason that the He family will not dare to spread the matter. But who would have thought that this thing would still spread out, and the more it spread, the more evil it became, and even some people who thought that she might be in the way of getting an order for reporting the news even misinterpreted it as an elopement regardless of the safety of her parents and relatives.

If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate, this is the original words that Chen Wen said to Zhou Jingting after Cao Conglong's rebellion, and Zhou Jingting told his sister this as a joke. But now it seems that it is not necessarily a good thing to meet a pig-like opponent compared to a pig-like teammate.

It's just that people who pretend to be asleep can't wake up, she still understands this truth, those fools are willing to say it, let them say it, she has already made up her mind, if she can't meet a man like Li Zhen who can not discriminate against women, she will never marry. They are free to say whatever they want, and no amount of explanation is in vain.

In the past, Hanshan asked: "There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, hate me, and deceive me, how to deal with it?" He said: "Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, bear with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years, and you will see him." ”

That's the way it is.

"I remember, Zhou Xiaoniang asked the next question before, about Mr. Li Zhen, do you remember this?"

Hearing Chen Wen's question, the eyes of the little sister of the Zhou family couldn't help but light up, this question was what she had asked Chen Wen, but Chen Wen's pretending to be stupid at that time made her have a little illusion, but looking back, she always felt that Chen Wen was unwilling to evaluate Li Zhen's shocking doctrines because of his identity. This time, in fact, she also has more or less this aspect of the future, but she didn't expect to mention this matter when she met Chen Wen.

"Then let me guess, Zhou Xiaoniang wants to ask if it is the short book in "Book Burning" that answers that women learn the Tao as a short book?"

Seeing Chen Wen smiling and saying what she thought in her heart, the little sister of the Zhou family was shocked at first, but the answer was not yet known, which made her a little uneasy at the moment.

"Master Hou is like a god, and this is what the concubine wants to ask."

And so it was.

In Chen Wen's memory, "Book Burning" was banned in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it was repeatedly banned, and many of them violated feudal etiquette. A few days ago, when he was free, he also found a book to read, such as a short description of women's learning of the Tao:

"Don't stop taking a woman's opinion as a shortcoming. Therefore, it is okay to say that there are men and women, but how can it be said that there are men and women? It is okay to say that there are long and short views, and it is said that men's views are as long as they are, and women's views are as short as they are. If a woman is a woman and a man sees it, and is happy to hear the right thing but knows the lack of colloquialisms, and is happy to learn and knows the lack of love in the floating world, then I am afraid that the men of the world will look at it, and they should be ashamed and sweaty, and dare not speak out. ”

Although the Ming court also suppressed the ideological emancipation almost at the same time as the Western Renaissance, such as Li Zhen's writings were banned and Li Zhen himself was imprisoned, the ideological emancipation was not suppressed, especially in Jiangnan. Later, it was completely suppressed by relying on the Manchu literary prison, and it was not until foreign guns and cannons forced them to open their eyes to the world that their minds began to be active again.

I know that the ideological emancipation in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was even respected by some people as the ideological basis for the budding of capitalism in later generations, but I have seen the ending of Qin Huai Bayan in the book, and heard the story of Ni Renji, a talented woman in Pujiang who was widowed for life if she was martyred, and now looking at the eyes of the girl in front of him, Chen Wencai found that the germs of capitalism that later generations saw were just partial generalizations, and the ideological emancipation of this era was not just as simple as he saw from those papers.

It's just that Chen Wen has no way to answer her positively about what the little sister of the Zhou family asked. Equality between men and women is not very common in later generations, especially in some religions, some dark-skinned people or other countries that are just dressed in the cloak of civilization, women are often just their husbands' ****, not only to support the family, but also to have the slightest status in the family, unprovoked beatings and scolding, forced *** everywhere, and even other men in the family can be despised at will.

In a republic like Chen Wen's time, women could be half the sky, and the status of women in many economically developed regions had even begun to surpass, and it was almost unimaginable as an ancient country with thousands of years of feudal tradition. But in fact, a woman often has to pay more to achieve the same status as men.

Fortunately, Chen Wen had already thought of this, otherwise he would not have directly picked out the problem, and at this moment, it is time to change his mind to answer this question.

"Have you heard of Shunde?"

Since I was a child, the farthest I have ever gone to Quzhou is to report to Chen Wen, and I have not seen this word in the books I have read, and I don't even know that this is a place name Zhou Xiaomei.

"Shunde is a county in Guangzhou, the political envoy of Guangdong Province, that county has been famous for silk since the Song Dynasty, to the Dynasty for nearly 100 years, the silk weaving industry is prosperous, and some new customs have appeared among some local women, such as self-combing ......"

According to Chinese tradition, when a woman leaves the court, her hairstyle should be changed to the style of the woman, so as to complete the change from a lady to a woman's dress. Since the combing girl started in Shunde, Panyu and other places in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was due to the prosperity of the local silk industry, and women had a certain economic foundation after the mismatch between the economic status and the family status after marriage and had a resistance to the psychology. As a result, the self-combing girl who combed the girl's braid into a bun and never married for life appeared.

Historically, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the combing girl reached its peak in the late Qing Dynasty, such as Shunde Jun'an and other places, and even to the point that local women do not marry more, and marry less. In the end, it was not until the elevation of the status of women in the Republic of China and the Republic era that this phenomenon gradually subsided.

"In fact, not only in Guangdong, but also in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which are not far from Zhou Xiaoniangzi and Zaixia, due to the vigorous development of the silk industry, in fact, local women, especially those embroiderers, are also better at home than before."

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for large economically developed cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Chengdu to employ hundreds or even thousands of workers, and almost all of the silk production chains from silkworm raising to embroidery were made up of women as craftsmen. The wages of silk production gave them a certain economic base, and in such cities, the exchange of ideas was more frequent, the degree of emancipation was greater, and even ideas, including Li Zhen's remarks, began to be recognized by some people to a certain extent, thus beginning to affect the social atmosphere, so that the status of women who could support their families in the family was also improved.

Perhaps it is precisely because the degree of emancipation of the mind is greater that women can get more tolerance, so there is no phenomenon of self-combing.

Silently listening to Chen Wen tell the story of what happened in these two places she had never been to, the little sister of the Zhou family was confused at first, and then suddenly came to her senses.

"What Lord Hou means is that if a woman wants to improve her status in the family and no longer be despised by others, she must first obtain that economic foundation, right?"

"There is no mistake, the economic base determines the superstructure." (To be continued.) )
