Cheng Jin's face was strange, "The eldest sister admires Empress Zhuang Jing so much, doesn't she want to follow her into the palace?" ”

Cheng Chan's solemnity is quite suitable for sitting in the position of the lord of the six palaces, but with the current situation in the court, Emperor Longqing will not choose to let Cheng's daughter enter the middle palace.

"What are you doing in the palace?" Cheng Chan sneered, "I respect Queen Zhuang Jing, just because she has the world in mind and is very talented, not because she is the queen, if she didn't get married, she would definitely be able to make a big career back then, if I were her, I wouldn't marry easily, let alone enter the palace." Men in the world praise her for being virtuous and generous, and women learn from her Shuning and chastity, all of them are attached to the skin, she is such a heroic person for the country and the people, if it is not because of her bad health, and she is confined to the harem, she will definitely be the heroic man who lets her travel all over the world. ”

Cheng Jin smiled slightly, adding a little closeness to Cheng Zhan.

Cheng Zhan was talking happily, and Cheng Jin's stomach went to "growl".

Cheng Jin laughed, "Sister, I can't stand hunger in this stomach, so I have to ask you for some food." ”

"It's all to blame for me getting carried away and missing the time to eat." Cheng Chan hurriedly beckoned the maids to set the meal.

"Don't worry, I love to hear these stories, and the eldest sister will talk to me again."

Although Cheng Zhan also has three or five handkerchiefs, he is far more interested in Wen Xiang and the world-famous Wen Gongzi than Empress Zhuang Jing, who is also a woman, and she rarely meets someone like Cheng Jin who is willing to listen to her say this, and the more she talks, the more energetic she becomes, and she has been talking from afternoon to evening.

"Ah Jin, although you are a woman, you should not keep your eyes on the inner courtyard of the back house, you should be more open." The two little sisters were lying side by side on the bed, whispering, and Cheng Qian suddenly sighed.

Cheng Jin turned sideways slightly and stared at her curiously.

"You see that A-Niang has lived so hard for half of her life, mother-in-law, husband-in-law, concubine, concubine...... There is such a huge Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou looks at the scenery, but there is nothing to like. I heard that A-Niang was also a famous talented woman in Ruyang back then, and several poems she wrote in the boudoir were also magnificent, but since marrying her father, she has never picked up the pen for writing poems and paintings. ”

"Eldest sister, you don't want to get married, and I don't want to marry either."

Cheng Zhan only felt that Cheng Jin was childish when he said this, "If you want to marry, you still have to marry, do you think which woman in the world doesn't marry?" Even if we don't want to do it in our hearts, we still have to get married, didn't Empress Zhuang Jing also marry back then? What's more, we are helpless in the world, and we can do whatever we want. ”

Nowadays, although women can study and enter the office, after all, there are very few, and it is not many times more difficult for women to seek fame than men.

Cheng Jin helped her forehead, she didn't expect that marrying Xiao Sheng would affect the girl's view of marriage decades later, and even some self-righteous men, taking Empress Zhuang Jing as an example, asked the women to return to the back house.

"I think that when Empress Zhuang Jing gave up the imperial examination and was confined to the palace, it was not because she felt that women were inferior to men, but because she chose a more convenient path for the world, and used her life to form an alliance with Emperor Taizu. As long as we pass the examination, we will be able to enter the ranks, and we don't have to get married at that time, just like the two women in the court. ”

Cheng Zhan smiled, "You little girl has only heard a few stories, how do you know what Empress Zhuang Jing thinks?" It was the two female adults, Ye Shaoqing was married back then, and later remarried, the husband behind her died early, and Dr. Yu had already married, before her father died, so she kept filial piety for three years, and she was also going to marry when she got out of filial piety. ”

These two female officials are from Hongshan's sect, but not many people dare to make a mistake to them, although there is some gossip, but it does not affect their marriage.

"Since marriage is free, there is naturally the freedom to marry and not to marry, as long as we have achieved fame, we will have the court's rice, and we can support ourselves, but what if we don't marry? It's just that people's words are terrifying, and if you are even afraid of people's words, then you won't be able to do anything in the future, so it's better to stay in the back house obediently. Cheng Jin said with a stiff neck.

Cheng Chan looked at her with some surprise, "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, no, no, no, I see that you look a little like a little tiger, and you are angry with tigers." ”

She laughed as she spoke.

"What's so ridiculous." Cheng Jin was annoyed by her laughter and turned his back unhappily.

"Okay, Ah Jin, don't be angry." Cheng Chan laughed for a long time, and reached out to pull her, "The eldest sister is wrong, I just think you look weird and likable." ”

Cheng Jin couldn't help laughing when she was troubled, in her previous life, she was the only daughter in the family, she didn't have brothers and sisters who played with her, let alone her sister who would talk to her like this, she would teach her, and she would play with her, it was a great luck for her to have Cheng Chan as a sister in this life.

"If you laugh at me in the future, I won't talk to you."

"Okay, good," Cheng Chan coaxed repeatedly, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud at her awkwardness, "In the future, I won't call you Ah Jin, how about calling you 'Little Tiger'?" ”

Cheng Jin should have been angry, but her heart moved slightly, in her previous life, she was born with a little tiger carved in white jade, which was only known to Zhao Qi and her mother and several loyal servants, but at that time, her parents often called her "little tiger" at home.

The little tiger jade carving had accompanied her all her life, and it was supposed to be buried in the imperial tomb along with her bones, but it was buried by the priest in His Royal Highness Sihua to detain her soul.

Now, although her soul has broken out of the predicament, this little tiger should still be in the burned to the ruins of His Highness Sihua!

Thinking of this, she had a strong urge to go to the palace to explore, it was something that belonged to her, and she must not let it remain in Xiao's hands.

Cheng Chan studied at the Guozi Prison Girls' School on weekdays, but because of a foot injury, he couldn't go to the school to study, so he could only live at home, and he was studying the scriptures and meanings behind closed doors every day.

Cheng Chan reads those texts every day, tries to explain the meaning of the scriptures by himself, writes strategies, and then sends them to Mr. Fan in the family studies for correction.

Although Mr. Fan praised her for her progress every time, she knew her own level, and it was almost impossible for her to take the Mid-Autumn Festival.
