If the Tang Dynasty was a paradise for extramarital lovers, and the Ming Dynasty was a paradise for literary ruffians, then the Song Dynasty was a paradise for scholars. A poem by Song Zhenzong makes the value of reading clear and clear: "The rich don't need to sell good land, there are thousands of bells in the book; There is no need to erect high beams for the house, and there is a golden house in the book. So the men of the Song Dynasty understood at a glance: the most promising profession was not to practice martial arts or business, but to study and become an official

There are also historical reasons why the rulers of the Song Dynasty attached so much importance to reading. Before the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were five dynasties and ten kingdoms where the emperor was changed more frequently than the woman's hairstyle, and many emperors were unscrewed off their heads by the warriors before their buttocks were hot on the dragon chair, and killing the emperor was like slaughtering a cow and slaughtering a chicken. Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, unscrewed the heads of many emperors before he became a great treasure. Therefore, the emperor of the Song Dynasty felt a deep threat to those who practiced martial arts from the bottom of his heart. And the person who reads the book has no power to restrain the chicken, talks about theories all day long, deals with words, and only has one tongue on his body that is the most lethal, no matter how much he tosses, he will only abuse a few words, but he has no ability to shake his Zhao family. Therefore, the emperors of the Song Dynasty reused literati and advocated reading.

In order to encourage reading, the imperial court also promulgated the following preferential policies: First, of course, welfare benefits. The Song Dynasty's scholars and doctors were the highest, unattainable by any dynasty in the past, and there were additional welfare subsidies during the New Year's holidays. Second, the criminal law is lenient and the so-called policy of "punishment is not for doctors". This means that when a scholar breaks the law, he will not be punished excessively and punished with criminal law.

There is an old Chinese saying that "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys", not to mention that the emperors of the Song Dynasty still preached it like this. Therefore, those who plough the fields put down their hoes, those who do business put down their business, and what do they do to study and test their fame All the men in the world seem to be shouting: I am crazy about books

In order to study, the men of the Song Dynasty could not take care of women. Because they know that only when they have fame will they have the best women. Although there are Yan Ruyu and Golden House in the book, there are more bumpy roads in the book. Many people have been studying for many years, and in the blink of an eye, they have become leftover men. For example, Chen Xiu, a Song man, was only in his 70s before he passed the imperial examination, which can be said to be the best among the remaining men. When he got married at the age of 73, a leftover girl asked about his age, and he replied cleverly: Fifty years ago, twenty-three

If the men are left, the women will naturally be left. And the way women in the Song Dynasty choose a mate, to be precise, the way the woman's parents choose a mate is also very peculiar, they don't ask the man's family background, background, or even whether he is married or not, they only care about one thing: whether you are a jinshi or not, so whenever the list is released, women begin to grab their husbands, which is called "catching sons-in-law under the list". In the Song Dynasty, there is a saying that has been truly embodied: no one asks about the cold window for ten years, and he becomes famous all over the world in one fell swoop. The world knows, but it is better to say that the parents of women in the world know.

During the Song Zhenzong period, a man named Fan Lingsun won the top spot, and the prime minister immediately married his daughter to him; During the Song Dynasty Shenzong, a man named Cai Bian was a jinshi, and Wang Anshi asked him to marry his daughter quickly. In order to wait for a man who makes the list, it is really not an easy thing. Later, people began to "book", as long as they were optimistic that someone might be on the list, they would settle down first, and as long as they were in a middle school, they would get married immediately, and this was how Ouyang Xiu, the great writer of the Song Dynasty, was set by others. And the woman who can't grab it or book it has to wait.

There are big dogs supervising, those little gangsters really haven't slept all night, and they really recovered before dawn, until Chen Qiaoqiao nodded in satisfaction, and those people fled one by one like the lost dogs

The whole family dressed up to welcome the arrival of the guests, King Wu Rong came very early, and Chen Qiaoqiao was very surprised, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this marriage, which is really a good phenomenon

"This king has nothing to give, ask the steward to find some in the treasury at will, don't dislike it" King Wu Rong looked at Chen Qiaoqiao's charming face, very ape-like, Chen Qiaoqiao deliberately dressed up today, and the person was more beautiful than Huajiao

Before she could speak, King Wu Rong leaned into her ear and smiled: "How can there be such a trick as a mother-in-law, don't you want to compare your daughter-in-law to her."

Chen Qiaoqiao's face was red and her ears were hot, and she took a sip in a low voice, "Be careful if someone sees it."

The steward smiled and said, "Madam, look at it, these things were all found by the prince in the treasury last night, and they are all treasures."

King Wu Rong's expression was a little unnatural, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and the steward knew that his words were in line with the prince's intentions, and he was also complacent.

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, the golden statue of Guanyin, as well as the tea utensils made of pure gold, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but pout, "Hmph, you are straightforward, you know how to send gold"

King Wu Rong couldn't help laughing, "I've been looking for a long time, and I have an epiphany, I think you still like gold the most."

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but roll her eyes, she loves money, but King Wu Rong also saw it too thoroughly

She doesn't have the ability to identify jewelry and jade, but this gold is a pound and two, it's real

Seeing Chen Qiaoqiao's expression, she was a little displeased, and said with a smile, "This king's favorite thing is also gold, it can be seen that it smells alike, is this called not a family, not a family, not entering a family."

Chen Qiaoqiao was amused at this time, and looked at him with a smile, looking at King Wu Rong's eyes, there was a bit of coquettishness.

Wu Rongwang's heart was suddenly moved, and he involuntarily approached Chen Qiaoqiao

"In front of the public, you are too unsophisticated" Yinhuo's cold and angry voice came, instantly making Chen Qiaoqiao's whole body stiffen.

She wasn't prepared to invite him for what he was doing

King Wu Rong raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Yinhuo, why are you here, it seems that I didn't give you an invitation."

King Wu Rong knew that Chen Qiaoqiao and Yinhuo had fallen out, so he deliberately made a gesture of a male host.

Sure enough, a trace of anger appeared on Yinhuo's mouth, "What, I'm here to Brother Wangwang of Wu Rong's mansion, are we in the wrong place?"

Wang Duo's face was very embarrassed, he had to bring him in under Yinhuo's pleading and even intimidation, but he didn't expect it to be like this Wang Duo also knew that Chen Qiaoqiao would not be so indifferent to Yinhuo for no reason, there must be something hidden in it.
