Tao Yao looked down and said: "I like this text, because, I have been reading since I was a child, and women need to be virtuous to men, rely on men for everything, obey men, and become subordinate to men.

What I often hear is that women are useless, men make achievements, and women only need to take care of the housework and sweep the court. Even the word husband and godson, I really understood the meaning from the old lady today.

My brother has been studying like me since he was a child, but he can gain fame and become an official in politics in the future, so he is useful for reading, but what is the use of me studying? Many of my relatives around me, and even my classmates who studied together when I was a child, told me that I am a woman, and it is useless to study well, and I just need to find a good man to marry in the future, which is the right thing.

So, since it's useless, why should I waste my good Shaoguang studying hard?

Since I have to find a man to marry after all, I am stuck in tedious family affairs all day long, what is the use of me going to Zi Silk Pavilion to learn those embroideries?

I won't even be an embroiderer, and I may not be able to open an embroidery workshop by myself, I just need to marry a good man and rely on a man for the rest of my life.

The only benefit I can see when I go to the Purple Silk Pavilion is that I can break away from the rules and etiquette at home and come out to have a good time. No matter how much it is, it is just to earn an excellent reputation for needlework and add a few points to the good match.

So needlework is also boring.

Maybe I'm not bored, but useless. Except for getting married, getting married, it's useless to do anything else.

But if you talk about marrying and relying on your husband's family, how many daughters I have seen Zhong Lingyuxiu have finally married some ordinary people, full of aura, not losing the wisdom and wisdom of men, and they have all been consumed by endless quarrels, or the trivialities of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

They told me that the man had eight or nine points before he got married, and only three or four points after he got married, so he couldn't be relied on at all.

However, the rules and etiquette taught me that I need to rely on these things that are simply unreliable. Therefore, I don't like the way of Confucius and Mencius, it is better to follow the example of Lao Zhuang, ignore the world, and take advantage of the fact that I am not yet married, and temporarily transcend the outside world.

But ......"

Tao Yao looked down at the words in her hand: "But the woman in this article is different, she did not rely on men, but became men's dependence."

The needle and thread in her hand is not the icing on the cake, but the warm clothes of the family. She did business, she did business, she sold silk, she bought and sold fields, she took care of her servants and maidservants, she took care of herself, she wore beautiful clothes, and she extended her hand to the poor.

She has wisdom in her mouth and is able to admonish her children, but she is not disliked by her husband and children, but is praised by her family.

I just told the old lady that I can't do it yet, because no one has ever told me that I can do this, and I will not be regarded as a deviant, but a woman.

To tell the truth, I long for this good work on paper, but the way of this world does not allow it, how many women, even if they are really virtuous, want to do so, they will only be blocked by their husbands in every way, saying that they do not abide by women's morals. ”

Chu Ping nodded slowly when he heard this, he realized more and more that Tao Yao was a woman with great depth, every time he talked to her, he could always enter some points that were unattainable to others, it could be said that he was straightforward, and he could always have a new vision, and he was really hearty: "This is not the case in our family, why I still remember this text vividly, because I look at my mother and grandmother, although they may not be as perfect as the woman on this paper, but there are six or seven times out of ten."

I respect my grandmother and mother, so I take the words on the paper very seriously.

If you like it, that's my luck. ”

When Tao Yao heard this, her heart moved, and she hurriedly said: "Do I like it or not, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Chu Ping pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? I've worked so hard to write that it doesn't have anything to do with me? ”

Tao Yao folded the paper by herself, carefully put it in her sleeve, and said as if no one was around: "Then who knows?" Didn't you say you were going to show me around the garden? This garden is so big, we can't just stay in the pavilion. ”

"Yes, where does the girl want to go, Chu Ping will naturally accompany her." Chu Ping said, and instructed the maid to come and collect the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Tao Yao looked down at the ravines on the ground in this Liuyu Pavilion and said: "This Liuyu Pavilion is also interesting, the ground is a longevity word made of a single stroke." ”

Chu Ping nodded and said with a smile: "This Liuyu Pavilion was built by my father for my grandfather's birthday, and water can be drawn into this longevity character from the pool, and the floating cup can be floated on it, from beginning to end, it is very elegant."

Next time, if there are many people in the family, you can invite the girl to come and have fun with you. ”

Tao Yao responded, "Okay." ”

Chu Ping led her out of the Liuyu Pavilion, and looked at the little lotus in the pond before revealing her sharp corners, and the red fish at the bottom were beautiful. Outside, there are mixed flowers and trees on the shore, and some of them are green, but magnolias, cloves, and camellia are in full bloom.

Under the slow flower tree, the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.

Tao Yao smiled and said: "My father also likes to play with flowers and plants the most, looking here, it seems like going home." ”

Chu Ping only looked at her with a smile and said, "It's good if you like it." ”

While the two were talking, Forsythia came over: "Uncle, girl, where are you here, the old lady said that Taoyuan has set up a meal, please come over for dinner." ”

Chu Ping and Tao Yao both responded and got up to go over.

Forsythia then asked: "Uncle, didn't the eldest sister come out with you, what about her?" ”

Chu Ping said helplessly: "I'm going to have breakfast, you go to her own house to look for it." ”

Forsythia responded: "Yes, then I'll look for it, and the lord and the girl may go by themselves?" ”

Chu Ping smiled and said, "Naturally, it's not that I don't know the way, so you can go." ”

Tao Yao followed Chu Ping through the theater, returned to Taoyuan again, and saw that sure enough, in a peach forest, the maids had already set up a banquet, and when Tao Yao and Chu Ping came, the old lady got up and sat down with Shao Brothers.

Not long after, Forsythia also led Chu Yanran over, but she had just had breakfast and lunch, and she didn't have much interest in the full plate of delicacies on the table, so she only sat on the side, staring at her little pug running all over the ground.

Tao Yao looked at this girl interestingly, and the old lady just gossiped with Tao Yao, and asked Tao Yao's father and mother, the situation at home, and his brother who was admitted to the Jinshi, obviously the Chu family respected his brother very much, and also vaguely mentioned his situation in Beijing, and asked Tao Yao if he had been to the capital.

Tao Yao also answered one by one, when my brother was just a junior high school, the family also went to the capital, and helped my brother buy a house in Beijing, although it was just a small courtyard, but it also used a lot of money in the family.
