Chapter 59: The Wealthy VS the Poor

Wu Yuzhuo saw that Qin Songen was ignorant, and couldn't help but wake her up: "Many of the noble ladies here came in because they offended He Chaozhi at home, but when they went to Dawan, it was difficult for He Chaozhi's hand to stretch so long. After arriving in Dawan, instead of being randomly assigned to a Dawan sergeant, it is better to seize this opportunity to become the princess's henchman, after all, our group of people will rely on the eldest princess for everything in the future; The person who the princess wants to marry is Chagan Khan, the monarch of Dawan Kingdom, whether it is to be the princess's concubine, to compete for the princess's favor, or to be the princess's confidant and attendant, and to give advice to the princess, the treatment can be much better than that of ordinary women who go to kiss. ”

Wu Yuzhuo glanced at the noble girls beside him, and whispered to Qin Songen: "Most of them are from noble families, but since they entered the palace, there are no maids and maids who served them in the past, and they need to do everything themselves, and they are already very unaccustomed to it. Moreover, it is a long way to go to Dawan, except for the eldest princess of Changle who is equipped with three chariots, the rest of the royal daughters can only be crowded into a few carriages, and the rest of the officials and common women need to go on foot. ”

The nobles of Ye have always had the custom of binding their feet, and the rest of the people's families are a little richer, and they all want to find a good in-law for their daughters; These women now want them to go to Dawan on foot, and if they can only rely on their small feet, it will almost kill them.

I only heard Wu Yuzhuo say: "Look, they are just afraid that they are going to fight for the one or two places." If you can become the eldest princess's companion, you will naturally be able to live a good life with fine clothes and food and someone to serve, even on the way to Dawan, you can also rub the eldest princess's disgusting car, and there is no need to walk for a long time. ”

Qin Songen suddenly realized: "I see." ”

Thinking about it this way, if these exam questions were set by the princess herself, the eldest princess was not a stupid person.

The companion that the princess wants to find this time is by no means the companion reading that she is looking for pleasure with as usual, as Wu Yuzhuo just analyzed for herself, she must be able to understand Dawan language and ensure that the princess will not be blind in her ears in Dawan; If you know how to farm, even if you don't need to go to the field to cultivate yourself, you must not divide the grains, at least you must clearly know the four seasons of farming.

When Qin Songen was still in the Qin Mansion, he had inadvertently seen the long dowry list issued by the eldest princess of Changle and Qin Dawan, in addition to the conventional treasures, silk and satin, gold and jade ornaments, etc., there were even many poems and songs, subsets of scriptures and histories, agricultural affairs, medicine, astronomy, calendars and other books, as well as various grains, vegetables, fruit tree seeds and cooking ingredients.

I want to come to Changle to choose a companion who is familiar with farming, so that she can visit and teach farming techniques for her after she arrives in Dawan in the future, and as for the investigation of embroidery and other crafts, it is also to spread Ye culture in Dawan.

Since the gradual transformation of the Wei State, the upper class of the Wei State has formulated various etiquette rules like the Ye State court, and the Wei people have also abandoned martial arts and literature, relying on reading exams to gain fame, and the upper nobles of the Wei State are busy enjoying the delicacies, jewels and wines from the Ye State; The soldiers of Wei threw away their swords, guns, bows and arrows, picked up sickles and hoes and began to farm and weave, and the brave and warlike character of the whole nation was gradually lost in the prosperity of the homeland of Ye.....

Qin Songen thought to himself, the eldest princess of Changle wanted to bring the culture, embroidery, and farming technology of the Ye Kingdom to Dawan on this trip, and she did not want to corrupt Dawan, and when the nomads tasted the sweetness of farming culture, and the nobles enjoyed the various luxurious and exquisite lives brought by the Ye Kingdom, would Dawan be the next Wei State?

Qin Songen was thinking about it, but he might as well hear a few women suddenly arguing, and the two sides stood facing each other, with a fierce momentum.

Since entering the palace, Qin Songen has always maintained the state of salted fish, and since she knew that her grandfather died and avenged him, she had some meaning that she couldn't lift anything. Although she already knew Dawan well, and even spoke it slightly better than the interpreters who taught them, she never showed it in front of people.

After all, she is just a daughter who was re-recognized by the Qin family from the mountains, and it stands to reason that she doesn't speak Dawan language, even the official dialect of Ye Guo is now learned and sold, and she can't read big characters, and she can't understand pen and ink.

Therefore, for the sake of her father Qin Lian, the teachers in the class never dared to ask her to answer questions.

Qin Songen recognized the few women who were now leading the way on both sides, on one side were the noble daughters of wealthy families headed by Wang Chunniang and Gao Panpan, who had been the little masters with high eyes and arrogant hearts since childhood; On the other side, there is a civilian woman from a poor family, Qin Songen remembers that the girl at the head of them seems to be called Song Xiaoshan or Song Xiaofu? According to her own statement, her father is a native of Wuyi County, Mancheng Prefecture, and his family runs a rice shop, and her parents are open-minded, but not only did they bind her feet, but also a few of the women in this group can read and write, so Qin Songen was deeply impressed by her.

Since entering the palace, she has acted generously, has a refreshing personality, and has made rapid progress in learning Dawan language, and is usually favored by teachers and interpreters. The nobles in Beijing have their own faction, and they are not very willing to pay attention to these poor women, but it is Song Xiaofu who soon became the leader of this group of women who are not accepted by the nobles in Beijing.

The two sides have secretly had contradictions for a long time, Wang Chunniang and others have long been accustomed to the life of being high and served, so they usually look down on Song Xiaofu and others in their words, and at first they were arrogant, because there were no maids around to serve, so they usually took out money to call those poor girls to do such work; At that time, Song Xiaofu and others couldn't get used to her behavior, and there were some sparks in their words.

And according to the ideas of Song Xiaofu and others, no matter how high and powerful your parents' family is in the Ye Kingdom, isn't everyone going to be sent to Dawan and his relatives? Except for the princess and the daughter of the clan, after arriving in Dawan, they are all just the same treatment, who cares if your parents and relatives are powerful or commoners in Ye Kingdom?

In addition, after the noble ladies who have been dressed and fed at home since they were young entered the palace, they couldn't accept the reality all of a sudden, felt sorry for themselves, and cried bitterly, but they were not as good as those ordinary women who quickly accepted the reality and took the lead in the classroom, so Song Xiaofu These women are also a little dissatisfied with the noble ladies who are known as wealthy families but can't support the wall with all kinds of mud, and will only make others work delicately, but they have not had a seizure.

Now it seems that the eldest princess's selection of companions for the exam suddenly exposed the contradictions between the two parties in an instant.
