Chapter 366: The Reason for Literacy
"Because...... Reading can be reasonable. Li Zhiyan actually never thought about it so much, all his behaviors when he was a child were just his own thinking inertia. At this time, Bai Zhi suddenly asked, which made it difficult for Li Zhiyan to answer for a while, so he could only explain in a gulp.
"Is that so? But brother, you don't just want me to learn how to write and read some poetry.
Miscellaneous, historical books, arithmetic. There are many, many things, and you have to teach me little by little that this blind man has learned. In order to teach me this, brother, you took great pains at that time.
Sometimes I wonder if my brother is taking reading and literacy too seriously. I have a daughter's family, where do I need to know so many things? ”
"No, there's not much of that at all." Li Zhiyan shook his head and replied to Bai Zhi. "Why can't girls learn a lot?
O the man who wrote these poems, he never said that only men were allowed to read them.
Learning to read is something that anyone can enjoy. So Yiyi, you don't need to thank me for these things. ”
Li Zhiyan looked at Bai Zhi with a smile and shook his head at the same time.
"Maybe my brother is right. Sometimes I really feel that my brother and we live in a different world.
Some of what my brother said from your mouth did sound right. But when I think about it, I think it's really ridiculous.
I don't know where my brother learned what he knows, and why he firmly believes that what he thinks is right.
It's as if my brother didn't live in the same world as us before. ”
At this time, Bai Zhi had already relaxed, and facing Li Zhiyan, the expression on her face was relaxed and serene.
"Because your brother and I have been ....... Life is another world earlier. ”
"Huh?!"
"It's a joke. It's actually a dream-like thing. I learned a lot there. So when I come back, I'll use what I learned there to use here.
Let's just say that there are many women who have never read and write in this Tang Dynasty. It was a matter of course not to teach you to read, and you still had a little problem with your eyes at the time.
But Yiyi, have you ever thought about such a thing? In the entire territory of Datang, all children, until the age of eighteen, must enter the school every day to study.
I'm talking about every child, male or female, even whatever the disease. Each one has to be learned.
If you had experienced this kind of thing, then you wouldn't have any doubts about me teaching you these poems now.
Even you will feel that I have taught you too little. ”
"This ..... How is this possible? ”
"How could it be. Maybe we'll never see that kind of picture in our lives. But that doesn't mean that it won't be a long, long time later.
In fact, by that time, you may understand why I am so interested in your marriage.
Yiyi, I don't want you to go against your will for anyone's sake. Marry a man you don't like.
You should be a little braver and a little more selfish. For your own happiness, you have to do your best to fight for it. ”
Li Zhiyan looked at Bai Zhi's eyes full of expectation, and he hoped that he could persuade Bai Zhi to reconsider clearly.
"Is this also something from my brother's dream?"
"Yes. In that dream, all the women were fighting for their ideas. They live their own lives, choose their own husbands, do their own things, and don't have to worry about anyone's constraints.
It's true for everybody, and everybody calls it 'freedom'. ”
"Freedom? Be brave, be selfish, and hurt others for your own happiness is also what you call freedom, brother? ”
"No...... It's not the same. Ripples.
You, you may have misunderstood what I said. ”
"I think I have a general understanding of what my brother is saying. What my brother said, in the world where my brother's dream is located, if the women in it were me now, they would all choose the path my brother said, right? ”
"Uh........ If Yiyi really likes Li Tai very much, then it should be. ”
"Even if this will cause the brother to be punished, or even if the brother will be directly executed, they will choose the method that the brother said?"
"This, okay, Yiyi, I can't talk about you.
Actually, to be honest, I don't know what kind of choice they will make. But I think it's best for you to go out of town now.
Because I don't want you to lose the happiness of the rest of your life because of me. ”
"Brother, your worries are really unnecessary. If I lose my brother, I will lose my happiness for the rest of my life. ”
"Alas, forget it. I....... I'll go back and calm down first.
Yiyi, you are threatening your life today, don't use it in front of me in the future.
Also, I won't give up on this matter. I know if I hadn't convinced you, you wouldn't have run away from the city.
But I'll definitely think of a solution before you get married. ”
Li Zhiyan saw that he really had no way to persuade Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi's thoughts were very clear and could not be refuted. So he can only retreat first, and after going back to calm himself down completely, he will make another plan.
At least let Bai Zhi's thoughts be completely consistent with his own. Li Zhiyan thought in his heart.
When Li Zhiyan came out of Bai Zhi's room, Bai Zhi slowly exhaled the turbid breath in his lungs. Slowly moved back to his bed, and collapsed on his bed weakly.
Bai Zhi actually knew about the Holy Decree again, but she still hadn't completely relieved herself. She really hoped that this was just a dream of her own, and when it was dawn, she would wake up from the dream and everything would be back to normal.
But inner thoughts and reality are always at odds with each other. Bai Zhi also knew very well in her heart that all of this was true. It's impossible to go against it.
His marriage has been completely decided at the moment when the holy decree comes out. There is no one in this world who can change everything.
Even His Majesty, who wrote the decree, would never have withdrawn his decree and changed it overnight.
All I can do is to avoid it, and all I can do is to accept everything honestly.
In fact, the moment Bai Zhi first heard the holy decree, her first thought was to escape, which was what Li Zhiyan told him, to flee to Nanshan and spend the rest of his life.
