"Not being able to see my sister being bullied is not the same as not being able to speak well." Zhang Yuelu said.

Qi Xuansu said: "What kind of temperament is the eldest brother, you can see one or two from you, but I know that you beat Li Tianzhen." ”

Zhang Yuelu's eyes flickered, and she said slowly: "That's Li Tianzhen's self-inflicted, as the saying goes, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, we have known each other for so long, have I ever beaten you?" ”

"Not really." Qi Xuansu turned to ask, "What was it like when you were a daughter at home?" ”

"What are you asking for?" Zhang Yuelu immediately looked at Qi Xuansu vigilantly.

Qi Xuansu said: "Just ask casually, so that you know in your heart, so as not to be seen by Lingtang." ”

Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment, reluctantly recognized this reason, and then said unashamedly: "When I was at home, um...... Naturally, she is a gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable lady. ”

It's just that when he said this, Zhang Yuelu was not as strong and firm as usual, but a little weak-hearted.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "'Zhishu' refers to reading the words of Qingping Bookstore? 'Gentle' refers to dancing with knives and sticks? 'Hyun-sook' means going out for a drink in the middle of the night? ”

"I didn't go to drink that time, but to go to the armory shop, and attending someone else's wedding was just a coincidence, since it was a happy event, it was reasonable to drink a little wine." Zhang Yuelu argued, "You're also there, you know." ”

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but smile, and said seriously: "I went to the weapon score to buy a handcuff for self-defense, you have both a 'divine dragon handcuff' and a half-immortal thing, what are you going to do with the weapon score?" Could it be that everyone's ladies and weapons shops are the best match? ”

Zhang Yuelu was speechless, and simply didn't pretend: "I'm a Taoist disciple, not a Confucian disciple, why should I abide by those vulgar rituals?" I can do whatever I want, and I want you to take care of it. ”

Qi Xuansu finally proved his point of view: "From this point of view, the eldest brother is definitely not a good match. ”

Zhang Yuelu suddenly reacted: "Not to mention that I don't have a brother, even if I do, who is your eldest brother?" ”

Qi Xuansu smiled: "I still promised you." ”

"I think you want to learn from Li Tianzhen." Zhang Yuelu glanced at him, "Also, just by you, can you bully me?" I'm pretty much the same as bullying you. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Daomen is not allowed to take concubines, let alone raise the outer room, and it is always impossible to stage all martial arts, it is nothing more than a question of who has the final say." You are the deputy hall master, both public and private, and I always act according to orders. ”

This has to mention the marriage system of the Daomen, in a sense, the moral standards of the Daomen are higher than the world, and now the world, the monogamy and polygamy system is still implemented, and the folk have a similar saying to the flat wife, that is, the so-called three wives and four concubines, although the court does not recognize the so-called flat wife because of the edict and other reasons, but it is also a convention.

But in Daomen, Xuansheng directly deposed the multi-concubine system, leaving only monogamy.

Why is it that women in the world are inferior to men, or even inferior to men? The fundamental reason lies in the difference in physical strength between men and women, women are weak, not as good as men, and many things that men can do that women can't do, such as killing the enemy in the army, women are weak, and they are definitely not men's opponents.

What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get anywhere else.

But why is the status of women not weaker than men in the Taoist sect, and there is no saying that men are inferior to women? Because various methods have eliminated the difference between men and women in terms of innate physical strength, women can also fly to the immortals, and they can also fly to the heavens and the earth, opening mountains and cracking rocks, and what men can do, women can also do, so the status of men and women naturally tends to be equal.

In the eyes of many women, Xuan Sheng's move is in line with the general trend, and women can only improve their status by supporting themselves instead of relying on men for a living. The reason is simple, the father has the mother, it is better to have it yourself, and it is better to rely on the mountains and water, it is better to rely on yourself.

However, at that time, the Daomen were still dominated by men, and the Daomen did not exist independently in the world, but were still inextricably linked with the world, so it still caused a lot of opposition. So Xuansheng took a trick and did not call him "husband and wife", but changed his name to "Taoist couple", and the registered Taoist priests became married as Taoist couples rather than husband and wife, and there could only be one Taoist couple, which indirectly canceled the identity of the concubine.

Seriously speaking, the ability of the Daomen and the Great Xuan Court to defeat the Confucian and Great Wei courts is also related to this.

At that time, Daxuan's top priority was to expand the army, and the expansion of the army was inseparable from money, food and population. The real elite soldiers must specialize in training, that is, the word "out of production", out of agricultural production, need to be supported by others, and soldiers can only be young and strong men, and young and strong men are the pillars of agriculture, in other words, one more soldier, one less farmer, between an increase and a decrease, it is a two-fold gap, which is also the reason why it is difficult to have a good end for the poor soldiers of all dynasties.

Everything in the world is inseparable from food, because of food, the speed of army expansion has always been not fast, and the gap in the population is very large.

In this case, the Daxuan Imperial Court, which had not yet seized the world, set its sights on women, because of etiquette, men are outside, women are inside, many women are not out of the door, just housework, so that considerable manpower is wasted, and now men's manpower is stretched, so what about women? As long as the shackles of etiquette and religion on women are lifted, and women are allowed to go out of the house and participate in labor, won't women be able to hold up half the sky?

So Da Xuan decided to let go of the shackles of etiquette and religion on women, and Confucianism blamed it, just as mosquitoes and flies snorted. The Golden Horde does not understand etiquette, but it can also enter the Central Plains, which shows that extraordinary times should do extraordinary things.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be forcibly promoted by government decrees, but to be induced by profit, Daxuan first started with the textile workshop, promised to use money, hired female workers, and at the same time took into account the atmosphere of etiquette and education, so that female workers and male workers were separated.

And then use this as an example and gradually spread it to other fields.

In this way, the role of women was greatly played, more manpower was liberated, and Daxuan successfully expanded the army, which also laid the foundation for the future reform of the Daomen.

Of course, rules are rules, there must be people who violate the rules within the Daomen, if no one knows, forget it, once discovered, it will be a demerit, and if it is degraded, it will affect the future.

In addition, cultivating the Tao to the end will inevitably reduce people's desires, and among the Taoist sects, there are many people who will not marry or marry for life.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu said,

Zhang Yuelu joked: "I want to be grateful to Xuan Sheng, who was deposed along with the concubine system, and the words of the parents' order matchmaker, although parents can still influence their children's marriage, but there is room for refusal to be a good child, so my mother can't force me too much, and if I am in a hurry, I will go to the ancestral hall to sue her." ”

Qi Xuansu sighed with emotion: "Inside and outside the Dao Gate, there are two heaven and earth, no wonder Yujing can't look down on Shenjing." ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "My mother has lived in the local area for a long time, and she has been contaminated with many old habits, but she still believes in the old ways, so you can bear more." ”

Qi Xuansu said with a smile: "Don't you forget, my time in Yujing is not long, and I don't even look like a Taoist disciple sometimes." ”

Zhang Yuelu glanced him up and down: "Except for the fact that the rivers and lakes are more experienced, I don't see anything else." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Speaking of experience, I really don't have the experience to deal with elders. ”

Zhang Yuelu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry too much, it's not going to the Dazhen Mansion, it's just a house, just my father and my mother, they are not a great big man, can't you deal with this old Jianghu?" ”

Qi Xuansu was stunned: "I always thought that your home was in the famous Dazhen Mansion." ”

"You're thinking too much." Zhang Yuelu looked at the river outside the boat, "I said it, we are a small sect, and the Great True Mansions are the residence of the big sects." Take the imperial court as an example, which clan can live in the palace? ”

Qi Xuansu faintly felt that Zhang Yuelu's feelings for the Zhang family were very complicated, and he didn't like this so-called family with a high threshold to the sky.

And Zhang Yuelu is not as "heartless" as she seems on the surface, or the atmosphere, pattern or something, she still cares about some things.

The ferry boat traveled leisurely, except for the boat boss, there were only Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu sat at the bow of the boat, supporting her body with one hand, turning her head to look at the turbulent river outside the boat.

Qi Xuansu sat opposite Zhang Yuelu and could only see her side face.

After a long time, Zhang Yuelu retracted her gaze, looked at Qi Xuansu, and asked, "Tianyuan, did you have any confidants and friends in the past?" ”

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Probably not." ”

"Coincidentally, I didn't either." Zhang Yuelu said half-self-deprecatingly.

Qi Xuansu asked, "What now?" Are we friends and confidants? ”

"Sort of...... Right? Zhang Yuelu blinked, "It's not just up to me, it's up to you, I don't like wishful thinking." ”

Qi Xuansu wanted to agree, but the words "it also depends on you" made him suddenly think of his other identity, and he said: "Qingxiao...... I mean, if, one day, I disagree with you, think differently, or even go against you, or ...... What will happen to you if you are lied? ”

Zhang Yuelu was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Qi Xuansu to ask such a question, but she didn't think too deeply, and replied: "Disagreements are common, even between parents and children, let alone friends?" It can only be said that it is not like-minded. As for the backlash and deception, it's a bit serious, and I'm afraid that my friends don't have to do it. ”

Qi Xuansu laughed dryly: "That's it." ”

"What, what are you hiding from me? Or are you trying to lie to me? Zhang Yuelu joked.

Qi Xuansu said half-truthfully: "I have a lot of secrets, there must be something to hide from you." But I didn't intend to lie to you, even if I did, it was a last resort. ”

Zhang Yuelu didn't take it seriously, just smiled: "Virtue, it's a last resort." ”

Qi Xuansu also laughed, but his mood slowly sank.

Because the joy of accumulating enough three "Xuanzi Gong" was gradually replaced by the heaviness of another identity.

Even Zhang Yuelu, who was close at hand, seemed to be gradually moving away.
