"Well, that's a good idea. Then you let Mrs. Cui inquire for us. Zhu said in surprise, "Working under Mrs. Cui, your personality and personality must be understood, and for your sake, Mrs. Cui will definitely do her best." If you can come out to work under Mrs. Cui, you must be studying at Bac Ninh Women's Academy, and your family background will not be too bad. Such a person is really suitable for your big brother. ”

"Have you asked your brother about these things? What did he think? Zhao Ruxi asked.

Don't worry about them here for a long time, but it turns out that Zhao Jingli already has a favorite person, or the wife they want to marry is not what they think at all.

"Yes." Zhu said, "A while ago, when you took the exam, your eldest brother came over a few times and asked you how the exam was. ”

She glanced at her daughter: "He still cares about you." ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Mmmm, I know." ”

After all, Zhao Jingli was able to enter the household department, and eighty percent of it was her credit - arithmetic was taught by her, Gan Lun's teacher was found by her, and she was also the leader in the final household department. Zhao Jingli is not a white-eyed wolf, so he is naturally very grateful to her.

When I saw that he was free, I asked him. He begged me to take care of his affairs. He said that as long as I thought it was good, he would have no opinion. Zhu said.

Zhao Ruxi: "......"

Okay, too.

The Zhu family is very good to Zhao Jingli, and he is very good, Zhao Jingli is extremely relieved of his adoptive mother, and it is normal that he is willing to hand over his marriage to her. After all, it is impossible for the Zhu family to harm Zhao Jingli. As long as Zhao Jingli doesn't have a favorite person, it's no problem to accept the wife that Zhu chose for him.

This is also the way people in this day and age choose a mate.

Zhao Ruxi said: "Okay, I'll write right now." ”

She immediately went back to the courtyard and wrote a letter for Qingfeng to send to Mrs. Cui.

After more than half an hour, Qingfeng came back and handed Zhao Ruxi a reply letter.

Zhao Ruxi opened the letter and saw that only an address was written on it, and there was nothing else. She raised her head and looked at Qingfeng in confusion.

Qingfeng hurriedly said: "After you won the top prize, there are many people who want to study in Beining Women's Academy, so Mrs. Cui is very busy during this time, and when the slave and maid passed, she only hurriedly said a few words and was called away. The matter of the girl's house is more complicated, so she only wrote an address to you, and the rest of the content is a message for me to bring. ”

"Okay, sit down and talk slowly." Zhao Ruxi stretched out his hand and pressed it.

Qingfeng gave a salute, sat down and said, "Mrs. Cui said that Miss He was locked up at home by her father half a month ago, and she was not allowed to come out to do things, and she was asked to marry. The people from the newspaper shop went to visit her, but they were all rejected by Master He, so I don't know what her current situation is. She thinks that Miss Ho is very suitable for Madame's requirements, so it is recommended that you go to see her as soon as possible if you are interested. If her family is still only in the stage of helping her discuss marriage, she can propose marriage immediately. ”

Zhao Ruxi looked at the clock in the house, took a pen and wrote a greeting post, and handed it to Qingfeng along with the address: "You ask someone to take it to Ma Wushi and let him run." If the He family doesn't refuse, let's go to the He family next day. ”

"Yes." Qingfeng took the letter and went out.

When Zhao Ruxi had lunch and was about to rest, Ma came back at noon and asked Qingfeng to bring in the news.

"When Master He heard that it was you who came to visit Miss He, he was very happy, and said that the He family would welcome him."

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "You inform Lu Bo and Steward Ma that we will leave at half past two in the afternoon." ”

In the afternoon, Zhao Ruxi went to Bac Ninh.

Ma had already come once at noon, he was familiar with the road, and he rode a horse in front of the carriage, and directly led Zhao Ruxi to He's house.

The He family is on the street two streets across the courtyard of Kang Shilin, Zhao Ruxi, and Wu Zong in Beining County.

The He family estimated that they were waiting in the gatehouse, Zhao Ruxi got out of the carriage, and was about to ask Ma Sheng to hand over the post again, when Master He and his wife Wang, He Yuqi's eldest brother He Zhi, and He Yuqi, a family of four greeted them from the gate.

"After the end of school, I entered He Jinshu, and I saw Lord Zhao." As soon as Master He saw Zhao Ruxi, he gave the junior ceremony.

This has always been the case for scholars.

The ancients called Xiucai a "friend" and Tongsheng a "little friend". Once they enter school, even if they are teenagers, they are always called "old friends" to each other; If you haven't gone to school, you are an eighty-year-old man, and you are still a "little friend".

And no matter how old you are, when you come to Jinshi, you are all the younger generations of "the last to learn and the last to advance".

In addition to being a Jinshi, Zhao Ruxi has a higher education than the He family's father and son; She has even "become famous" and was sent an official by the imperial court. Therefore, although she is a female streamer, she is still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she is He Yuqi's classmate, and Master He's family will receive her in this way, which is a respect for fame and rights.

Seeing that his father was very respectful to Zhao Ruxi, and the eldest brother, who had always been above the top, was sincerely afraid, He Yuqi's eyes were amazingly bright.

She is very strong, and has always been dissatisfied with her father's attention to her brother, but despises her, thinking that women should stay at home honestly, teach each other husband and children, and abide by women's morals.

Although she fought against her father, went to study at Bac Ninh Girls' College, and went to the newspaper office with the support of her mother, she was still at a loss and conflicted. Because she doesn't know what way out a woman has in this world. Even if she won a phased victory and let her father and brother allow her to go to the community to do things, it was impossible to fight against the whole society, and the final outcome was to become a biological child and live a life like her mother and sister.

Even if Zhao Ruxi was admitted to the Juren and recently admitted to the Jinshi, she was still confused and felt that Zhao Ruxi was a special case. After all, except for Zhao Ruxi, no one else is the apprentice of Mr. Deadwood, the enlightened Suiping Bofu, and he does not have the talent for painting, calligraphy, and reading that shocked the world like Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi's path is irreproducible. All of their women are still on the path of their mothers, and there is no hope in sight.

But at this time, seeing her father's and brother's respect and stammering to Zhao Ruxi, she finally clearly realized that if a woman wants to gain the respect of the world, as long as she can do it to a certain extent and achieve certain achievements.

Looking back, aren't men the same?

An incompetent man, even if he has the status given to him by society, when people talk about him, they are only perfunctory, and they will not respect him from the heart.

Therefore, whether male or female, as long as they are capable and can achieve certain achievements, they will respect him (her). Instead of dwelling on the inequality between men and women here, she should be like Zhao Ruxi and strive to improve herself and achieve success. Then whether she gets married or not, other people's attitudes towards her will be different.

For example, Xiao Fuzi, such as Mrs. Cui, such as those women who entered the textile factory as female workers. When others bear her, she has the confidence and courage to leave that home and be beautiful alone.

Self-improvement, self-esteem, self-love, this is the real way out for women. Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Zhiwei set an example for them.

The more she thought about it, the brighter He Yuqi's eyes became.
