Chapter 39: Tea Party 1
As soon as Yuanyuan left, Yunxi remembered that in these years, there are really few literate people, even many large families, and there are many girls who do not allow them to read and learn words. A little girl from a customer's family who is attached to the main household can still read and write.
It didn't take long for Yuanyuan to come back, and what Yunxi didn't expect was to bring Yunxi a reply, right? Li Sanjie is still literate?
Although the saying "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented" comes from the article of the Ming Dynasty, the soil that gave birth to it has been there very early.
What did that article say in the Ming Dynasty? Yunxi still remembers a few words. "A woman is literate, and she who can understand righteousness is a virtuous person, but it is rare; Others like to read novels, stir up evil hearts, and even dance and write to do no ugly things, but it is better to be illiterate, and to keep clumsy and secure is to heal. What do these words mean? It is said that after a woman reads a book, she will be provoked to do evil things and do nothing ugly.
What is the scandal? Refer to the story of Li Qingzhao and the scumbag's stephusband, a celebrity and a big man with a lot of words, was actually put in prison because of divorce from someone, just because she is a woman, she has to go to prison if she takes the initiative to divorce, the law stipulates that, if she is not a fan, she may suffer many crimes in prison. It is conceivable how much persecution ordinary women will receive, and there is no other reason to prevent women from studying, which is convenient for oppression and control, and ensures the dominance of androcentrism. said that it is high-sounding, but in fact, it is filthy.
It's far away, let's get down to business. Yunxi came back to his senses and asked Yuanyuan, "This is written by Third Sister Li herself?" β
Lin and Yun Jin, who had just come to accompany Yunxi, were also curious, obviously they didn't expect that a girl from such a family could actually read and write, and the words she wrote were actually not bad, which was really surprising.
"Yes, eldest lady, two little ladies, I saw it with my own eyes, it was written by Li Sanjie herself, and her brother sharpened the ink for her." Yuan Yuan said with certainty, "Zhang Sanniang also entertained me to drink water, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for me." Yuan Yuan said and took out the melon seeds to prove that his words were true.
"In this way, Li Sanjie is really literate, I haven't heard of her father being literate, and his father has been dead for several years, is it Zhang Sanniang's literacy?" Yun Jin was surprised, she was the eldest daughter, Ye Yuan had often taken her out before, and she still knew a lot about the tenants in the family.
"It should be Zhang Sanniang who is literate, she was picked up by Li Erlang on the road, it is said that she was dirty and hungry on the side of the road at that time, and was picked up by Li Erlang who got up early to chop wood, but I didn't expect her to be literate." Lin thought about it carefully, and then said, "Yes, in the first few years, she was almost all out of the house, and then Li Erlang died, and she slowly walked around the village. β
"Mother, there must be a story in this!" Yunxi gossiped, there are many stories in troubled times, just say? Looking at Zhang Sanniang, she is different from other peasant women.
"Don't be nosy, don't ask too much, you know?" The little housekeeper Po Yunjin hurriedly knocked on Yunxi.
"Got it, am I the kind of person who likes to inquire about people's privacy?" Yunxi retorted, this is about character, she has to refute, she is just a little curious.
"You two don't make trouble, Yunxi, you can write quickly when you have time, and you will be liberated as soon as you finish writing." Lin said.
Yun Jin happily laughed and pushed her, "Hurry up, hurry up, poor thing, a hundred times, a hundred times." β
β¦β¦
Yunxi is so angry, look at Yunjin, look at the Lin family, alas! You can't offend that, so let's write honestly. "Yuanyuan, come and sharpen the ink." Only Yuanyuan can roar.
"Okay." Yuanyuan went happily, she likes to grind ink very much, let's put it this way, whether it is to help grind ink, or to take a book, carrying a school bag, this is a good errand in Yuanyuan's opinion, the business of reading people, how elegant, can't read and read, so it's also angry.
Yunxi looked at Yuanyuan, her eyes flashed with joy, she had seen this kind of light countless times, this is an era of superstitious readers, reading and literacy is a very sacred thing, you are a primary school graduate, when you get here, not to mention anything else, it is very easy to find a job in the account room. As for wanting to dominate one side, it is delusional, and not being able to read does not mean that people have a low IQ, but they just have no chance.
She had already thought about whether to teach Yuanyuan to read, thinking about whether she was writing now or spider crawling, it was a bit too early to be a teacher, and she would talk about it next spring.
In the afternoon of the next day, Yunxi and Yuanyuan prepared early. Honey cake, sugar horn, joy group composed of fragrant candy seeds, melon seeds, peanuts, apricot slices, plum ginger, plus osmanthus honey water, rose tea to make drinks. In fact, as far as food is concerned, Yunxi is still quite satisfied, I believe that under the leadership of the official family, there will be more and more food, and the days will get better and better.
"Everything is ready, waiting for the guests to come." Yunxi clapped his hands and was very satisfied. Look at the sky, it should be coming soon, "Yuanyuan, go to the gate to see if anyone is coming?" β
"Okay!" Yuanyuan happily answered and went out, she liked her little lady's banquet very much, and the little girl should have a few playmates.
β¦β¦
"Second lady, the guest is here." After a quarter of an hour, a round voice came from outside the door.
Yunxi came out to take a look, she was happy, there were five little girls, the first four were about the same age as Yunxi, and the other one was Third Sister Li, she was ten years old, nearly a head taller than Yunxi.
"Come in, come in." Yunxi warmly beckoned the little girls into the house, and the little girls were wearing very clean clothes, obviously cleaned up. She looked at Third Sister Li, this Third Sister Li's ability to do things is very good, she said that she wanted her to bring a few acquaintances, but she brought a few seven or eight-year-old girls, obviously thinking about Yunxi. Although Yunxi is a new bottle of old wine, she must get it.
"The second lady of the owner is good!" "The little lady of the owner is good!" β¦β¦
The four little girls also said hello to Yunxi, she is the second girl of the Ye family, yes, but why does it sound so awkward?
"Stop!" Yunxi shouted.
The little girls were stunned and looked at each other, aren't these two ladies going to make some moths?
Yunxi knew at a glance that they had misunderstood, this was all a debt owed by the original owner! I had to pretend that I didn't understand, and sang a bitter trick: "That's the case, I invited you to come, I want to play with you, you don't know, I was grounded by my father, and I guess I won't be able to go out of the house during the Chinese New Year." β
"Wow, you're so pathetic."
"It's, it's just, I'm uncomfortable if I don't go out for two days."
β¦β¦
The little girls are really cute and kind, and they all look at Yunxi with sympathy.
Yunxi saw that the effect was good, and said with a bitter face, "So, I really want to make friends with you, but you all call me the little lady of the owner, how awkward is this, I am second, just call me Second Sister Ye or Second Sister, it's okay to call Yunxi, okay?" β
"But, but, you are indeed the little lady of the proprietor's house?" A little girl said.
"It's just a title, what does it matter? Do you look down on me in your heart and don't want to be friends with me? Yunxi wanted to cry, and said secretly in his heart: In order to make a few friends of the same age, I can be regarded as letting go.
Of course, the little girls were no match for Lord Yunxi, and soon called Yunxi Second Sister Ye. Yunxi used to be very unaccustomed to the strange title of the Song Dynasty, the children were all ranked according to the ranking, the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister ......, the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother ......; When I grow up and get married, I will ...... my mother, my second motherγ......, my eldest mother, and my second lang, but I will get used to calling this thing for a long time.
"What do I call you," Yunxi scratched his head and smiled, "I fell from the tree and forgot about it, I'm sorry!" β
"I'm Fourth Sister Li, you can call me Si Ni, I'm from Li Dalang's family." "I'm Zhang Erni,......", "My name is Wang Xiaohua,......", "My name is Wang Xiaocao,......" The four little girls scrambled to introduce themselves. Thanks to Yunxi's memory, he wrote it down.
"Come on, sit down and have a snack." Yunxi greeted them, this was the first time he had invited someone to his home, and he must have to entertain them. said that the second sister of the Ye family didn't have any friends, how ugly it was.
