"Ah, yes, when Xiao Jiu talked about this, I remembered that there is another family rule and etiquette of Lord Zheng Wen, that is, a woman must be at least twenty years old before she can get married, and it is best to recommend that she not be less than twenty-two years old", Xue Langjing added another one.

"Why, why, don't I have another six years to do it?"

"That's right, Xiaoba, according to what you say, only the eldest sister and the second sister in our family can get married."

"That's right, if you say that, it will take a few months for the third sister to get married."

"But after twenty, they are all old girls, and it is not easy to find their in-laws, why are they still twenty-two, are you mistaken?"

And the people began to gossip again.

"That's right, because Master Zheng Wen said that if a woman is under twenty years old and her body has not fully grown, if she gives birth to an heir before the age of twenty, it will damage the foundation of her body and will have a significant impact on her physical and mental health in the future. Generally speaking, compared with women who give birth late, if a woman gives birth early, her body will be bad and will affect her life, so it is beneficial to have children later. ”

"But then why do you suggest twenty-two, doesn't it say that twenty is good?"

"Because the growth of a person is not only the growth of the body, but also the growth of the brain, although the body has grown at twenty, but this thought is still immature, and it will not be possible until twenty-two. And this is the minimum age given by Lord Zheng Wen, so it is obviously absolutely no problem if it is a few years longer, that is to say, there is no hurry to become a biological child, and there is no need to be afraid of becoming an old girl, after all, women in their thirties and forties have children, right. ”

"Why does Master Zheng Wen know everything, and why is he so powerful!"

It's envious to say that they never thought that a woman could be so powerful.

This is exactly what Xue Langjing wanted to say.

"Naturally, because we read more books, we know more, so for hundreds of years, men have not let us read, because they are afraid that if we know too much and understand too many truths, we will not listen to them so much", well, that's right, that's it.

The fourth Xue Zhujing was very puzzled, "Is there a way to let us study?" But there are also many young ladies from rich families who also study, why are they not as powerful as Master Zheng Wen? ”

"This, oops, what to say, although there is no clear rule that women are not allowed to study, but they will brainwash women in all kinds of ways, such as telling us that women are virtuous if they are not talented, which is to imply that our women should not be talented, otherwise they are not virtuous enough, and they will not attract men's like. Moreover, the books of the young ladies of those rich families are not the same as those of men, and many of the books they read teach them how to be a good woman in the eyes of the world, and the so-called standard of the world is only to meet the requirements of men for women. For example, teaching women to be husbands and how to behave in order to be accepted by the world, that is, men, are all books. The more women learn, the more they are deceived by the world, and it is easier to frame themselves in a framework set to meet the needs of men, and they are deceived for life, so that they can't jump out of the box that binds women all their lives, so it's useless to read it, but it makes them more stupid. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Langjing thought for a while, and continued to give them an example, "When you look at the imperial examination, you never let women participate, why is this?" After learning these, you can be a big official, you can be a master, you can do anything, so that people can govern the country and level the world together, these are good things, and these good things they never teach women, do not respect women to learn, and even prohibit women from participating in scientific examinations, just don't want women to know too much, so that they will be in ignorance for the rest of their lives. ”

"Wow, Eighth Sister, you are so amazing", Xiao Jiu is a little fan girl.

"That's because I read more than you, I have everything in the book, and if you want to read it, you can learn it together, and I can teach you", well, no matter how much I say so dryly, it is better for them to learn it themselves.

Xiaoliu Xue Yujing was very envious, "Xiaoba, you said that they are also sisters, why do you know that you have to learn since you were a child, but we don't know, sure enough, you are smarter than us, because you are a capable person?" Not only are they stronger than men, but they are also as smart as they are. ”

This idea is not right, we have to change them, "No, sixth sister, we are not stupider than men, it's just that we have been deceived for a long time, they don't let us learn knowledge, they don't want us to be smart, so they try their best to prevent us from having a chance to perform, just like I said before, trick us into not letting us study, or read some bad books." ”

The sixth sister continued to ask, "But why did you know to learn secretly when you were a child, so we didn't expect it?" ”

When asked the reason, Xue Langjing said with some emotion, "Actually, it was also a chance, that is, when I was a child, I was playing outside my eldest brother's study, and then I heard my eldest brother and his schoolmate scolding people together in the study, and it happened to be that Master Zheng Wen was scolded, saying that she was a strange freak who showed up and did not abide by women's morals, and was a demon woman or something." You also know how bad the big brother is, and he has scolded me for being a strange freak or something, and his schoolmate is also very bad. The one who can be scolded by the two of them together must be a good person, just like me, so I think Master Zheng Wen should also be a good person, and then the more they scold, the more I think she is a good person, and she is very powerful, so they will let these men who look down on women scold her angrily. People are naturally curious about a person similar to themselves, and if they are curious, they will be interested, and then I asked my father, mother, and neighbors, uncles, and uncles, and most of them only knew that this was a deviant bad woman, and they didn't have anything good to say about her, but they couldn't say a serious reason to make me think she was bad, and finally I asked Old Man Zhang, after all, Old Man Zhang was the most learned person in our village at that time. ”

"So Old Man Zhang told you about her? But what does that have to do with your desire to study? ”

"No, Old Man Zhang is dead, he's busy, he's too lazy to take care of me."

"Then why did you end up studying?" The eldest sister was also curious.

Xue Langjing said a little smugly, "Hehe, if he ignores me, I will pester him, I will follow him wherever he goes, I have been with him for several days, and I am annoyed by me, so I naturally told me about Lord Zheng Wen." I also know about her, she has been secretly listening to classes outside the private school in the village since she was a child, and she is very studious, and she can do everything when she learns more. Old man Zhang said that she is also very smart, she is a very powerful woman, like the eldest brother, these sour Confucians are jealous of her A woman can do so powerful, so they deliberately arranged her, just to stink her reputation, to avoid women in the world from following her, women can't produce a few smart and sensible like her, and men will say whatever they say. That's why I learned the importance of reading, as long as I read a lot of books, I will understand everything, and I will become as good as her, and then I began to learn secretly from my eldest brother. So it's not that I'm smart, but the more I read, the more sensible I become, the more I know the truth, I understand. ”
