[093] three from four virtues

Of course, he can't solve any problems if he wants to, and he has to think about the people above.

Now no matter what he thinks, he must also do what others think, this is identity. The higher the status, the more things they don't have to do, and the more things they let people with low status do, such as exams, and those who have power and money never need to take exams.

Zhou Yi and Zhang Zhong had to enter the examination room, because at this time they had already drunk three pots of tea and eaten a table of dim sum, and Zhou Yi felt that if they didn't go in, they wouldn't be able to walk.

The government test is stricter than all the exams they have experienced before, which is reflected in the fact that after they revealed their identities, some people said that they would search their bodies, and as a result, they slapped Zhou Yi on the stomach and threw him up, and then apologized and said that they thought Zhou Yi had breaded the answer in his clothes.

In short, Zhou Yi and Zhang Zhong came in, and after they found their place and sat down, the sun in the sky shone down, warm, not hot, but it made people want to sleep.

But Zhou Yi can't sleep, this exam will last all day, even if he can't do most of those questions, his bladder that drinks so much tea won't allow him to fall asleep.

So in just three hours after the exam, Zhou Yi had already run to the hut four times, and the other candidates all looked at him with sympathetic eyes, it was really sad that his kidney function was not good at a young age.

At the same time, Zhou Yi's test paper was still blank, because he didn't wait for an arrow without an arrow wrapped in the answer, nor did he see the bald man with the answers written on the top of his head and the technical man with micro-carved rice grains.

Zhou Yi felt that his road to the imperial examination was over, especially after seeing Zhang Zhong who was struggling to write when he was in the thatched house, he expected a situation.

When the list is released, Zhang Zhong will go to see it, and then Zhou Sheng will ask Zhou Yi about the situation, and Zhang Zhong will say that Zhang Zhong is everywhere, and Xianlang is still outside Zhang Zhong.

This once made Zhou Yi very painful, but fate is like this, you can't force it more.

So the exam was over, so Zhou Yi handed in a blank paper, if the name is not counted.

Zhou Yi remembered that when he took the exam in his previous life, he usually heard two voices, one was: I finished the exam, and the other was, I relied on it, it was over.

Now he belongs to the second kind.

Zhang Zhong didn't look very good, so the two of them didn't say a word when they walked back to their residence.

When night fell, Zhang Zhong felt that it was time to show his real skills, so he and Zhou Yi entered the **, although Zhou Yi claimed to be a literati, but if he was not interested in beauties, he would definitely not be a complete man.

So he played happily and went home with peace of mind, Zhou Yi felt that if he exercised himself now, there might be hope for the martial arts examination in the future, and this literary move was really overwhelming.

What do you say are the strong hearts of those who take the top prize to be able to do it?

The topic of Zhou Yi this time is related to the three from the four virtues, in the education that Zhou Yi received before, the three from the four virtues are the oppression of women and the hateful spiritual shackles are......

But after studying, he found that things were completely different from what he had imagined.

"Three Cong" is from "Rites and Mourning Clothes", and its text is as follows:

"If a woman has a suitable son, she is her parents, and Kundi is her father. "Biography" said: Why do you want to be a father? The woman is not beheaded. What if a woman does not behead? The woman has three righteousness, and there is no special way. Therefore, if you do not marry your father, you will marry your husband, and your husband will die from your son. Therefore, the father is the heaven of the son. The husband is also the wife of the day. If a woman does not behead her, it is said that she will not be a woman, and a woman cannot be respected. ”

The meaning of this statement is that an unmarried woman lives with her father, a married woman lives with her husband, and when her husband dies, she lives with her son. Therefore, when a woman is not married, she depends on her parents. After marriage, the husband is the heaven. If a woman does not observe two three-year mourning periods, just as we cannot have two days at the same time, nor can a woman have two most honorable days.

This is only a question of mourning dress and etiquette, and not of whom a woman obeys in family life.

China has always attached great importance to filial piety, and if the mother obeys her son unconditionally after the death of her husband, then there will be no filial piety at all.

Let's look at the "Four Virtues" again. The "Four Virtues" are the requirements for women's words and deeds, from "Zhou Li, Tianguan, Nine Concubines":

The nine concubines are in charge of the law of women's learning, in order to teach the nine royal women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's skills. Where sacrifices, praise the jade, praise the queen to recommend the bean stick. If there are guests, from the back. The great mourning, so do the handsome weeping.

Zheng Xuan further explained that women's virtue is chastity, women's words are rhetoric, women's appearance is graceful, and women's merit is silk. Such a request was not excessive, in any case, in an ancient society that valued ritual music. Later, Ban Zhao of the Eastern Han Dynasty developed the "Four Virtues" into a general code of conduct for women.

Women have four elements, one is women's morality, two is women's words, three is women's appearance, and four is women's merit. Husband Yun women's virtue, you don't have to be different; Women's words do not need to be argued; Women's appearance does not have to be beautiful in color; Women's skills don't have to be skillful. Idleness and chastity, neatness and orderliness, shame in one's own actions, and law in movement are women's virtues. Choosing words to speak, not speaking evilly, sometimes speaking, not tired of people, is a woman's words. The dust is filthy, the clothes are fresh, and when bathing, the body is not dirty and humiliated, which is called a woman's appearance. Concentrate on spinning, not good at laughing, gather wine and food, and serve guests, which is called women's merit. These four are the great virtues of women, and those who are indispensable. However, it is very easy to do, but only in the heart. The ancients said: "Benevolence is far away? I want to be benevolent, and I want to be benevolent. That's right. - "The Female Commandment, the Women's Walk".

Zhou Yi always thought that three from four virtues was a word or even an idiom, but since reading the book, he found that he had been deceived, and he was deceived very badly, so miserable that he was suspected of brainwashing.

In his time, all people thought that the three obedience and four virtues were the bad habits of feudal socialism, but after reading the book, he found that this so-called bad habit was the most shining pearl in Chinese civilization.

Zhou Yi dared to guarantee that if he traveled back now and told the girl three obedience and four virtues, that girl would definitely slap him a few times, and then come up with a few classic swear words such as nerdy and neurosis.

The topic seems to be far away, and then pull it back, Zhou Yi handed in a blank paper, which means that the imperial examination is hopeless, thinking that his father and sister at home may be disappointed when they hear the news, and he can't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, why doesn't he want to get ahead and glorify his ancestors? What's more, he still has such lofty ideals, but he is very helpless, this is not something he can control, join from what age he began to learn these things, Zhou Yi feels that he may not be able to be admitted, but now that he is a monk halfway, where have he learned so much?

Back at the inn, Zhou Yi fell asleep, it was no longer what he wanted to do, so he simply didn't care, he always believed that there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, and the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge.

Since Zhou Yi didn't say it, Guo Sheng naturally wouldn't ask, and when he heard Zhou Yi say that he was going back tomorrow, he fed the horses overnight, and all the ** tools were polished. This was originally what the groom did, and perhaps he thought it was a way to express his heartfelt feelings, so he fought to do it.

When he got up the next morning, Zhou Yi said to Guo Sheng mysteriously: "Brother Guo, you have been here for so long, and you haven't gone out for a walk, now let's go out for a walk while it's early." ”

"Didn't you say you were going home? Why do you still want to go shopping? Guo Sheng was puzzled.

Zhou Yi naturally couldn't help but say, pulled down his face, naturally he couldn't refuse, and went out with him.

The two men crossed several streets and stopped at the entrance of a large iron shop.

"I told you before I came that I would help you rebuild a Fang Tian painting halberd, some time ago I came here and told the shopkeeper, he redesigned it for you, because I wanted to surprise you, so I didn't tell you in advance, and I don't know if you will like it, this shopkeeper is said to be very experienced, and the feel should not be too far apart, you want to do it, and if you don't like it after we go back, I will let people do it for you again." Zhou Yi said to Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but say that he knelt on one knee, and then hugged his fists and said: "The young master treats me like this, a certain liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and there is no way to die." ”

Zhou Yi helped him up and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, on this street, two big men make people laugh like this, as long as you have this heart, I will never treat you badly." ”

Then he asked the shopkeeper to take out Fang Tian's halberd. This Fang Tian painting halberd is about the same height as a person, the whole body is gray-white, and it is carved with fine patterns, both in terms of feel and appearance, it is the best choice, Zhou Yi feels that it is much better than the one Guo Sheng used before.

Sure enough, you get what you pay for, and the guys who bought these dollars are different.

Seeing that Guo Sheng's face seemed to be full of joy, Zhou Yi smiled and said: "If you think you are competent, you can play tricks, let me see your superb martial arts, how about it?" ”

Guo Sheng nodded and said, "It feels very good, so and so this is for the young master." ”

Fortunately, there are not many pedestrians on the street now, and there is enough space for Guo Sheng to perform, as soon as he raised his wrist, the Fang Tian painting halberd naturally rose, and he grabbed the middle of the pole and stuck it along his arm, and the sharp blade was close to the ground. Zhou Yi felt that this shape was paired with a snow-white armor, and it would be absolutely amazing.

Guo Sheng shouted, grabbed the barrel of the gun with both hands, and pulled a gun, and Zhou Yi secretly screamed a good job. That Guo Sheng became more and more energetic the more he played, and a Fang Tian painting halberd weighing dozens of catties seemed to be as light as nothing in his hand, dancing vigorously.

Zhou Yi stopped him, then paid the money, and then went back to the inn with Guo Sheng, settled the bill, and the four of them embarked on the journey home.
