Chapter 35 What is the understanding of wives and concubines?

In the carriage, Ye Zhao asked, "What did your husband do?" What's the name? ”

Rong'er had a bitter face: "The patrol bureau patrols, Ye Zhao." ”

This is on the way to the national primary school, the two of them are making up the registration information, at first Ye Zhao asked Rong'er to falsely report that she was unmarried, but Rong'er said that she would not agree to anything, Ye Zhao saw that the little guy was resolute, so she had to compromise, and Rong'er became the patrol wife.

"Where do you live?"

"No. 17, Yinhe Street, Xiguan." This is the address of the Taihe.

Ye Zhao nodded with satisfaction, shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Remember, you can't be exposed, otherwise this school won't be able to continue." ”

But no, the Duchess and the Queen Mother's own sister are enrolled in school, which teacher must not tremble, and how can he teach?

Rong'er nodded her little head with a sad face.

…… National No. 1 Elementary School in Beicheng East Street, covering an area of more than 10 acres of large courtyard, there are several rows of bungalows, this is a certain business warehouse, Guo Liangjun personally selected, repainted and renovated as the school site.

Outside the campus gate, there are a lot of parked carriages, horses showing off their might, slaves licking their chests and belly, and all of them have big shelves.

Ye Zhao and Rong'er got out of the carriage, followed by the maid Jixiang, the thirteenth of the personal soldiers, and Ding Qimei, Jixiang naturally had to serve Rong'er to accompany them, and the only female guards in the two blue flag guards, Thirteen and Ding Qimei, naturally became the guards who followed up with the Duchess of the Protectorate in the future.

Ding Qimei is delicate and delicate, looking extremely inconspicuous, but her marksmanship is accurate and ruthless, in order to report the revenge of the bandit killing her father, the woman disguised herself as a man and mixed in the Zuojiang camp for more than half a year, and was promoted to the general sentry after her military achievements, but she gradually couldn't hide the identity of the woman, and was noticed by Han Jinchun, and she tried her best to protect the flag guard.

But now the thirteenth and seventh sisters are naturally dressed as auspicious maids, but they all have guys pinned to their waists.

The pine and cypress in the school yard are very elegant, and it can be seen that these evergreen trees have just been transplanted, and the soil under the trees is still fresh.

The two bungalows on the north side of the guard room are the general affairs office of the school, which is now the registration place, and the office on the east side is the registration office for female students.

Sitting behind the desk, several female teachers were stunned when they saw Ye Zhao and Rong'er's very eye-catching appearance, several of them came from Shanghai, and they accepted new ideas very early, but when they arrived in Guangzhou, they knew that Guangzhou had come from behind, and the emancipation of the mind was far inferior to the countries of Europa in some aspects, so let's talk about female patrol police, as if I heard that London had just appeared, but it was the British feminists who were inspired by Guangzhou to start protesting, and it was the London municipal axe that had to expand the scope of recruitment for some high-risk jobs and list women as recruitment targets.

But although there are a lot of new things in Guangzhou, the clothes of this father and daughter are too out-of-place, right? But if you look closely, it also has a free and easy taste.

Ye Zhao sticks his beard, coupled with the early marriage in this era, Rong'er looks small and cute, so she is with Rong'er, I am afraid that nine out of ten will think that the two are father and daughter.

Now Rong'er has her hair scattered, wears a hat, and is not a woman with her hair in a bun, so she is more like Ye Zhao's daughter.

The reception of Ye Zhao and Rong'er is a young woman in her early thirties, the name plate on the table is called "Long Chen", wearing glasses Si Swenwen, her husband is a Chinese comprador in Shanghai, she is a concubine because of her poor family background, but she is smart and studious, and her reading ability is strong, and she secretly entered the church night school in Shanghai to learn culture, and now she has the opportunity to come to Guangzhou to be a teacher, she secretly stepped on the steamer to the south without her husband, but in fact she ran out secretly, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a break with the family in the past, because if she is caught by her husband, her crime is not light.

Although Long Chen was strange in his heart, it was shocking to think that what he had done was different in his hometown? What is the style of other people's clothes compared to that?

He enthusiastically handed the form to Rong'er, and said warmly: "If you can't write, you can ask your father to do it for you." "The more closely I look, the more I admire in my heart, this little girl is too pretty, cute and almost charming, I don't know how many people will be fascinated when she grows up.

Rong'er glanced at the "teacher" in surprise, and said that my father died early and was not here, but he would not bother with her, took the form, picked up the brush on the table, and filled it in one stroke at a time.

Seeing Rong'er's strong posture of holding the pen, Long Chen immediately stood in awe, and when Rong'er filled out the form and took it to see, Long Chen was even more surprised and speechless, Juanxiu's beautiful font, just say the teachers of this school, I'm afraid that none of them have a successful ability, this, this look at everyone's girlfriends, since childhood famous teachers point out, I am afraid that none of these teachers who are halfway monks who focus on science knowledge can compare.

Goodbye Rong'er filled in the contents, Long Chen couldn't keep her mouth shut, the little girl was actually married, her husband Ye Zhao, patrol the arrest bureau?

I couldn't help but look at the boy who was shaking the fan, it turned out to be her husband?

I can't help but feel sorry in my heart, if I can enter the school a few years earlier, I will never marry so hastily, I will always know the taste of love in a few years, and choose a husband who agrees with me and agrees with you.

Think about yourself but not, if you have understood that women must love themselves and fight for their own rights, how can they be partial to others? It's too late to regret it.

Long Chen, like many female teachers, was a member of the Shanghai Women's Association, and when she arrived in Guangzhou, she immediately organized the Guangzhou Women's Association, which advocated fighting for women's rights, letting go of their feet, freedom of love, and opposing men's concubinage.

Ye Zhao also knew that there was a women's association in Guangzhou, and its roots were in the national No. 1 primary school that was about to open, and it was funny to think about it.

Feminist organization, Ye Zhao naturally acquiesced and even encouraged its existence, but when it comes to concubines, speaking of which, he also has three wives, two wives and one concubine in his heart, and he is a wife and two concubines in name, and he is accustomed to it as a modern person for a while, not to mention others. This kind of thing is not compulsory, especially in the era when female surnames have just sprouted to work, and then slowly advocate monogamy, advocate not to take concubines, and leave the prohibition of concubines to future generations to find suitable opportunities to do. If you don't want to destroy the cultural heritage, you can't be too drastic, didn't Hong Kong only legally abolish the term concubinage in the 70s of the 20th century?

What's more, as long as the female surname has employment opportunities, independent rights, and self-improvement, she will naturally not be willing to be a concubine for others, so what if you are willing to be a concubine? There are still fewer junior and junior fourths in later generations? That's it, it's better to be a concubine with a low status, saving you from marrying someone and having the status of a wife.

Ye Zhao also knew that the one next to him was fine, but the machismo tendency was extremely serious, and his thoughts might be biased, but he was motivated by feelings.

"Well, it's okay, wait for the shift notice to be sent to the address you left, No. 17 Yinhe Street, Xiguan, right?" Long Chen looked at them one by one and nodded with satisfaction.

In the new school in Guangzhou, the normal school does not charge tuition, room and board, and has a small subsidy, but the premise is that after graduation, you must obey the assigned teaching and teaching, while the national first primary school, the annual fee for male students is five yuan, and the female students are free of tuition, which is also to attract female students.

"Yes!" Ye Zhao got up with a smile, shook the folding fan and said, "Wife, let's go back!" ”

Looking at Ye Zhao, Long Chen really felt that he was a little unpleasant, maybe when he saw Rong'er, he remembered his former self, he was destroyed by a man at a young age who didn't understand anything, how is this kind of man different from a beast?

"Sir, I hope you love your wife more!" Long Chen added, although it can be seen that this family is a rich and noble family, and it is a first-class family with three maidservants, but Long Chen regards wealth and nobility as dung, and is not afraid.

Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, he didn't know that people didn't like him, and he said that this woman was troublesome.

Rong'er stopped doing it, and her little face sank: "The teacher is abrupt!" "There is a majesty of its own. But isn't it, how can there be a one-sided relationship to talk to people like this?

Long Chen couldn't cry or laugh, and said in her heart that she would help you talk and complain, but she could see Rong'er's beautiful big eyes looking at herself quietly, and her dignified and inviolable nobility made her heart sink, and she swallowed the following words back into her stomach unconsciously.

"I hope there is no next time!" Rong'er was talking, but Ye Zhao held her hand, and immediately softened her thoughts, and followed Xianggong out of the house sweetly.

Long Chen shook his head and sighed, only to feel that he was really kind and not reciprocated.

…… When Ye Zhao and his beloved wife returned to the General's Mansion, they heard that Admiral Xuezheng Tian Gui had asked to see him, and he had been waiting in the flower hall for a long time.

Ye Zhao immediately ordered someone to go to Xuanti to learn Guo Liangjun, and he went to the Lotus Building to change his outfit and beard, and then went to the flower hall to see Tian Gui.

Tian Gui is of medium stature, with a wisp of sheep's beard, a pale complexion, and small eyes.

The Governor of Xuezheng is an official appointed by the imperial court to preside over the examination of the academy in various provinces and supervise the academic officials in various places, and is generally held by a Beijing official from the Hanlin Academy or Jinshi.

Regardless of the grade of the academic administration, if during the annual examination, the civil officials from the prefect and the military attache from the capital below the capital department must be courteous to his subordinates; If the academic administration is a squire, or a political envoy of the three grades, the left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Zongren Mansion, and the Zhengqing of the Dali Temple, then the civil officials are from the political envoys, the inspection envoys, and the military attaches from the deputy generals down, all of whom must be subordinate to the courtesy.

It is a transcendent academic and political status, but also a fat shortage, whenever he comes to the state capital to invigilate the examination, all over the place to give a "shed fee", usually each place has hundreds of taels of silver. And the national school field, Guangdong is the most generous, after three years of service, I am afraid that there are 108,000 taels of incitals, which is not much better than the governor's care.

However, Tian Gui is obviously suppressing a breath of anger today, but no, it is just that Guangdong suddenly established a new school, but his own academic politics was thrown aside, and Guo Liangjun, the civil inspector who ran errands for himself from the academic administration yamen, was promoted to the promotion of the envoy, seeing that the affairs of running the school were handed over to him, and his own academic politics became an empty shelf, how could he not be angry?

Seeing Ye Zhao enter the hall, Tian Gui suppressed his anger and bowed: "Xiaguan has seen grandpa." ”

Ye Zhao doesn't need to ask to know what he came from, among the academic and political yamen, Guo Liangjun is not well-known, but he is the most enlightened, and the school he has to run is quite in line with his own heart, he is the candidate in charge of education, and he temporarily gave him the name of the envoy, and now the queen mother of the two palaces is here, and she is preparing to implement Guo Tixue's official rank, at this juncture, Tian Gui finally couldn't sit still.

"Grandpa, dare to ask where is the imperial examination under the new school?" Tian Guiwei really felt that Guangdong was deviant, and new schools were prepared everywhere, and what they learned was a side-by-side way, and if this continued, it would inevitably wither talents, and in the past, it was said that the place where talents and talents came out in large numbers became a land for spreading fantasy and magic, which was really worrying.

Ye Zhao knew that these pedantic officials, it was okay to question himself face to face, at this moment, he was only afraid that he would have gone to Beijing for the excerpt of his chin, smiled slightly, and said: "The imperial examination is in accordance with the laws of the imperial court. The next sentence was not spoken, but officials in Guangdong were about to gradually promote new scholars.

Ye Zhao also sighed in his heart, sure enough, with the deepening of the new policy, the old officials couldn't sit still one by one, speaking of which, thanks to the succession of the six kings, he could disobey the yang and yin of Yanjing's edict, otherwise, according to the original pattern of the two palaces, if Guangdong played his own folds a lot, he was afraid that his steps to implement the new policy would also be interrupted.

Tian Gui said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, the lower officials know that Grandpa respects Western learning, but I am in China, how can I not compare with the barbarians of Europa?" The grandfather asks for change, but he doesn't necessarily mess up the etiquette of the ancestors! ”

Ye Zhao smiled and picked up the teacup, tasted it, and said: "Xuetai has misunderstood the official, and the official has always ignored Western learning, but on the way to science, if you don't catch up, a hundred years later, I will appoint mermaid meat in China." Physics, chemistry, nature and other sciences are not Western studies, our ancestors' understanding of this world did not know hundreds of years earlier than the Europa barbarians, but it is a pity that since the previous dynasty, resting on their laurels, Yelang was arrogant, making my China gradually lag behind the world's powers, and the etiquette left to us by our ancestors is not just eight strands. Xuetai Mo didn't think that he could resist the Western powers by relying on the ghost eight strands, right? ”

Ye Zhao's last few words made Tian Gui erect, his face changed drastically, and he pointed at Ye Zhao and said, "You, what you say, but, you slander your ancestors!" ”

Ye Zhaoxin said that no one else heard it, what are you afraid of? smiled and said: "What does Xuetai think, there is nothing this official can do." ”

Seeing that it didn't make sense to talk to Ye Zhao, Tian Gui's goatee moved angrily, and he got up: "Leave the official!" "In this Guangzhou, there are two queen mothers, I don't believe you can cover the sky with one hand!

"No." Ye Zhao picked up the teacup, and there was really nothing to say to this kind of stiff-thinking official, so he put on a contemptuous shelf for him, so that he didn't come to make noise, and it was best to resign angrily to suit his own heart.

But I think Tian Gui will also go to the Queen Mother to cry, how to deal with himself must be prepared.

"Grandpa, Guo Tixue is waiting outside!" Chang Shun lowered his eyebrows outside the hall and said obediently.

Ye Zhao nodded: "En, pass!" ”

Guo Liangjun is a good helper in running a school by himself, and this academic and political yamen is not all sour Confucian.

Guo Liangjun is a refreshing young man, less than thirty years old, he looks shrewd and capable, his official position is humble, and he will call thousands when he comes in: "Humble Guo Liangjun greets his grandfather!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled and waved his hand: "Excuse me, sit down, sit down!" Although he has done many things, they have all been passed down through Li Xiaocun, and this is the first time I have seen him.

"Grandpa Xie!" Guo Liangjun sat respectfully on the side, not squinting, just waiting for his grandfather to inquire. He was born in Jinshi, the Hanlin Academy, but unfortunately gradually indulged in Western learning, it was a three-year Hanlin Academy assessment, which is commonly known as the "scattered museum", he did not achieve good results, failed to stay in the museum, was sent to Guangzhou, followed the study of Tian Gui to do a literary inspector.

Failed to become Hanlin, originally demoralized, once borrowed wine to drown sorrows, who knew that when he arrived in Guangzhou, he suddenly discovered a new world, Jing Gong implemented a new school, Guo Liangjun immediately went on the road excerpts, analyzed the pros and cons of the new school, including some of his own doubts, who knew that after a few days the excerpt was approved by Jing Shuai, among which his questions about Confucius and Mencius were drawn in red circles, and there were dense small characters next to him to solve the puzzles.

The strength of Europa, not the decline of Chinese scriptures, only in a change, Zhuzi Baijia was founded thousands of years ago, and later generations have made more interpretations, but in recent hundreds of years, they have gradually become self-contained, becoming a shackle that binds the minds of literati, in fact, cultural inheritance, the most important thing is to stick to the rules, the manager of a thousand years ago, how can he fully explain the confusion of today? It is always necessary for future generations to judge the situation and constantly enrich its content, remove its dross, and extract its essence, so that it is the way of the university.

Guo Liangjun admired it in his heart, he was a small excerpt of a low-end official, Jing Shuai not only saw it, but also personally solved the doubts, if Corporal Lixian is like this, it is nothing more than Meng Weijun in the past, right?

A few days later, Li Xiaocun, the first master of the shogunate, visited him in person and talked with him in detail for a long time, and the next day, Guo Liangjun was appointed as an envoy to supervise the new school in Guangdong.

is so kind and righteous, Guo Liangjun can only do his best to run a new school, so as to live up to his grandfather's cultivation and love.

Today, he was summoned by his grandfather, and he was even more excited, but he tried his best to suppress his emotions, so as not to be rude in front of his grandfather.

"You're very attentive to running a new school, it's good."

Listening to his grandfather's gentle encouragement, Guo Liangjun was excited again, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Students do their best!" ”

Ye Zhao took a sip of tea and asked again, "Is there any obstacle?" ”

Guo Liangjun was worried about this matter, thought about it, and said: "The former said that the Xuezheng University said that he was going to send students back to Beijing to serve, and I was afraid that these official documents would arrive. ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Jingguan is very good, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is a flying yellow and prosperous name." ”

Guo Liangjun sighed in his heart and remained silent.

Ye Zhao took a sip of tea, and said: "However, Guangdong is a new school, you are sorry to do it, if you pick a child now, I will not be able to find a suitable candidate for a while, this matter, I have my own score, you can do your errand, the master of Xuetai asked, I have something to say." ”

Guo Liangjun immediately moved with joy, "Grandpa Xie, I will do my best to do my best, and live up to my grandfather's expectations!" ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and asked, "I heard that there are several private schools outside?" Tell me what's going on. ”

Guo Liangjun was busy and explained in detail the current situation of new schools in Guangzhou.

…… It was already dinner time to send Guo Liangjun away.

Ye Zhao didn't go to the restaurant to eat, but went to the smoking room to smoke a few cigarettes, the new deal was deep, and the old officials and gentry couldn't sit still, and according to the intelligence of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Sheng Baozheng, the governor of Liangguang, contacted the officials and squires, and planned to jointly hand over the excerpts to the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces, and wanted to concentrate on military affairs to eliminate the bandits.

When I first came to Guangzhou, because the British and French troops occupied Guangzhou, they used themselves, the general of Guangzhou, to lead the civil army, and now that Guangdong has been recovered, the superintendent is there, and he wants to let go of the civil affairs by himself, which is also a "love" heart, unloading the burden on himself, so that he can concentrate on leading the troops to clean up the bandits.

This fold is really reasonable, if the six kings borrow the slope to get off the donkey, what if it is accurate?

Ye Zhao smoked a cigarette and thought silently.

When Ye Zhao came to the Daisy Pavilion, he was already in charge of the lamp, Ruyi was shining on the red candle sarong, and the little guy was sitting on the soft couch concentrating on reading, and when he saw Ye Zhao coming in, he said strangely: "Huh? Xianggong didn't go to Jinfeng's room? ”

"Where?" Ye Zhao didn't react for a while.

Ruyi chuckled and said, "Back to the master, Feng Gege is back." ”

Ye Zhao coughed dryly, and waved his hand: "Come back, come back, what are you going to do in her room?" ”

Rong'er was worried, how good is this, Jin Feng came back once in ten days and a half months, but Xianggong didn't go to her room, could it be that in Xianggong's eyes, I am a jealous woman? It seems to be, what did you cry that time, that time? It's scared.

I felt that I really lived up to Xianggong's love, Ruyi gently withdrew, and Rong'er saw that Xianggong was going to take a bath, so she took two steps, grabbed Ye Zhao's hand, and didn't speak.

Xiang Gong wants to sleep in whichever room, naturally he has to sleep in which room, and he can't force him.

Seeing her cute appearance, Ye Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, and said with a smile: "You want me to go to the golden phoenix room, right?" ”

Rong'er nodded her little head.

Ye Zhao pinched her little face funny, I wanted to be quiet today, there are many questions to consider. But speaking of which, it's really a torment to sleep with this little girl every day, I'm really afraid that one day if I can't hold it up, I'll become a beast, Jin Feng, Jin Feng will come back.

"Okay, if you can't sleep, go call me."

Rong'er nodded again and again.

Stepping on the thick red carpet and walking towards the Begonia Pavilion, Ye Zhao didn't know what it was like in his heart.

Jin Er's grandmother became her own concubine, but now I still feel a little incredible, as a modern person, even if I have lived in this world for more than 20 years and have seen other people's wives and concubines, but when it really comes to my head, I still have a strong feeling of strangeness.

Especially now that he is walking towards the Begonia Pavilion, this feeling is even stronger, and he justifiably owns the little stunner of Grandma Jin Er as a partial house, and now he is going to possess her and bully her without any scruples, little concubine? The product of men's power seems to represent the compromise and the slaughter of you, and the thought of this word makes people's hearts throb.

It's just that this concubine of mine is not a fuel-efficient lamp! Ye Zhao thought about it and was funny, what happened to a woman who was so strong when she first met was tossed and turned around by herself? It's strange to think about it.

Tonight, talk to her well, but don't bully her anymore.

(To be continued)
