Chapter 20: A wave of unsettled waves rises again
"yes." Tong Chuxue couldn't help pinching Luo Huifeng's little face, it was so soft.
The guy in the store was very eye-catching, and immediately handed over a brand-new copy of the "Three Character Classic", "This is what you want." ”
Luo Hui'an walked over and took a look, and nodded slightly at Tong Chuxue.
"Does my sister want to learn to read?" Luo Huifeng also came to Tong Chuxue's side, he obviously knew the words on it.
Tong Chuxue said yes, the little guy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he actively recommended himself, "Sister, I recognize, I can teach you!" ”
In fact, she doesn't need to be taught by others, but since the little guy is so active, she doesn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the children, but Luo Hui'an doesn't agree, "You have more to learn." ”
Hearing that there was still a lot of homework, Luo Huifeng was a little disappointed, how majestic it is to be a little teacher, but unfortunately there are no children younger than him at home.
Tong Chuxue felt that every time he saw Luo Huifeng, he would be hit by his eldest brother, don't be shocked at a young age, and he had no confidence, so he proposed, "I'm usually busy, you can consider teaching your sister, and you can also review what you've learned." ”
I saw Luo Huifeng glanced at Tong Chuxue with resentment, pouted and complained in a low voice, "My sister knows how to read, and my eldest brother taught me." ”
Hearing this, Tong Chuxue's surprised eyes fell on Luo Hui'an, it is understandable that he taught his younger brother to read and write, but it is rare to teach his sister to read and write, looking at the entire Qingshan Village, no one should let girls learn to read and write.
Tong Chuxue's complicated gaze made Luo Hui'an not only how to respond, but had to tilt his head slightly, seemingly explaining casually, "It is good for girls to know how to read." ”
Luo Hui'an, is this embarrassing, Tong Chuxue said in her heart.
"Brother Tai's words are wrong."
An abrupt voice interrupted their conversation.
Tong Chuxue followed the voice and looked, a scholar in an ink-colored robe stood not far away, that person seemed to be there just now, but Tong Chuxue and the others didn't care.
The man walked up to Luo Hui'an, "As the saying goes, women are virtuous if they are not talented, and they are only in the backyard to manage everything at home all their lives, so why bother to read and write." In addition, we do not allow women to participate in scientific examinations, and it is very difficult for rural people to provide a scholar, and the resources are limited, and they should not be put on women. ”
Luo Hui'an's face was as usual, but he was not annoyed, "Dare to ask what this brother is called?" ”
"People in Xiaqingshan Village, Yao Tianyuan." The man replied.
Yao Tianyuan!
If she remembers correctly, it was this Yao Tianyuan who had a marriage contract with her at the beginning.
Tong Chuxue's pupils suddenly tightened, and Xu Jinniang on the side clenched her hands even more, and the suppressed anger in her eyes was fully revealed. Tong Chuxue caught a glimpse of it, stepped forward and held Xu Jinniang's hand and comforted her.
At the same time, Luo Hui'an's face also changed, his face was calm and waveless, but at the moment it was as cold as frost.
Luo Huifeng, who didn't know anything, widened his eyes, "I know!" You are the only one in our village who has been admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and everyone says that you will be a talent in the future! ”
Among them, he was complimented, even though he was just a little doll, the corners of Yao Tianyuan's mouth were slightly raised, and he said modestly, "Xiaosheng is just a child, not a showman, don't say that." ”
"Yes, if you can be admitted to Xiucai like this, we will be unlucky." Tong Chuxue grimaced and said disdainfully.
Suddenly being scolded by a little woman, Yao Tianyuan was first surprised and then angry, but he still had to maintain the dignity of a scholar on his face, and suppressed his anger and said, "Xiaosheng thinks that there is nothing to offend the girl, why did the girl say this?" ”
"Not offended?" Tong Chuxue looked directly into Yao Tianyuan's eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm offended." ”
A sentence that a woman is not talented is a virtue I don't know how many women's education has been ruined, the world treats women unfairly, and the people around her are quite prejudiced, how can she not mind.
Yao Tianyuan recalled the scene just now, and suddenly realized, "What Xiao Sheng said just now was not aimed at the girl, but just on the matter, please don't mind the girl." ”
said that it was a matter of facts, but in his bones he still thought that women should not study.
"As far as I know, this dynasty does not prohibit women from studying, and there are also female official positions in the inner palace, I don't know why this Yao Gongzi looks down on women who study so much, and openly advocates that women don't have to study." Tong Chu Snow Trail.
"Yes, there are indeed a small number of female official positions in this dynasty, but they are not official positions in the imperial court. This kind of position is held by individual women in the family, mainly to deal with some government affairs that are inconvenient for men, and it sounds better to be a female official, but in fact it is just a thing to pass the time for noble women. ”
"Throughout a woman's life, she follows her father at home and marries her husband, and women in rural families are more realistic than fantasizing about them. What Xiaosheng said is true, and the girl may have been doing things at home all year round and has limited knowledge. ”
"Xiaosheng thinks that a book costs a tael of silver at every turn, and it takes a long time for ordinary farmers to save up, so why bother spending money on things that have no income."
Yao Tianyuan patiently said a lot of miscellaneous things, he probably felt that what he said was very reasonable, and after speaking, his eyes fell on Tong Chuxue, as if he was waiting for her to agree.
"Listen to what you mean, a woman is a waste of money studying, if a woman has money at home, can she send her to study?" Tong Chuxue asked deliberately.
"This-" Yao Tianyuan thought for a while, and then said, "Xiao Sheng really doesn't know why the girl is so obsessed with reading and literacy, but a woman's duty is to teach her husband and children, and Xiao Sheng thinks that it is enough for a woman to serve a good husband and teach a good child." ”
"A woman's job is to teach her husband and children, do you really think so?" Tong Chuxue stared into his eyes and asked.
There was persistence in her eyes, Yao Tianyuan was also frank, he thought so in his heart, so what's the harm in admitting it.
"So, I'm pretty lucky." Tong Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, it was a relieved smile.
Fortunately, the Tong family snatched this marriage at the beginning, otherwise if she was to be with a guy who looked down on women in her bones, she would not have done anything to break the law.
Outside the Mobao Zhai Gate.
Tong Yu'er and Zou Hongping just passed by the door, and the sharp-eyed Tong Yu'er saw Tong Chuxue inside at a glance, as well as the two Luo brothers on the side, she quickly pulled Zou Hongping into the store.
The argument between Yao Tianyuan and Tong Chuxue was heard by her.
She secretly glanced up at Yao Tianyuan, and her heart moved, the son of the Yao family had a white complexion, a delicate appearance, and a scholarly temperament, which was too different from those men in the village.
"Tong Chuxue, you said that as an unmarried woman, you actually argued with a man at the entrance of the crowded market in the blue sky and daytime, you really don't even want a reputation." After Tong Yu'er finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Tong Chuxue.
Luo Hui'an's expression was grim, "Girl, be cautious!" ”
Tong Chuxue didn't expect this to be a wave of unsettled waves, she and the people of the Tong family are really enemies, and they can't avoid it anywhere.
She felt funny when she saw Tong Yu'er's arrogant appearance, she could ruin her reputation by talking to a man in public, so how good could her own sister be when she accused her in public, she really didn't want to admit that she had this sister.
