I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 Female Virtue Female Virtue, very good
"The heart is like the face, and it is so well decorated. Once the face is not groomed, it will be dirty; if the heart is not thinking of good, evil will enter it... Wan'er, read it with your father, and then I will explain to you mean."

In the backyard of the Cai Mansion, Cai Yong is teaching Cai Wan word by word with "Women's Training" in his hands.

At this moment, Cai Yan's voice came from the door, saying: "This sentence means that the mind of a person is like the head and face, which needs to be carefully groomed. If the face is not groomed for a day, it will be stained with dirt; If the heart is not cultivated for a day, it will rush into evil thoughts."

After finishing speaking, she thought for a while and said: "This sentence is similar to the meaning of "I examine myself three times in a day" in "The Analects of Confucius·Xueer" and "Gentleman Shendu" in "Book of Rites · The Doctrine of the Mean". They are reminders Pay attention to self-cultivation and maintain a vigilant and cautious attitude at all times.”

"Zhaoji, you're back?" Seeing the eldest daughter return, Cai Yong immediately put down the bamboo slips and asked, "What will the Taiwei do about Sima Jiangong absconding with his family?"

Cai Yan's expression became weird, and he said quietly: "What else can I do?... One side throws itself into the trap, and the other side waits for the rabbit. The two hit it off immediately, and naturally they are all happy in the end."

"Sima Jiangong is innocent?"

Cai Yong was overjoyed, and was about to praise Dong Zhuo for his generosity, but unexpectedly his daughter shook her head and said, "Guilty."

"Um?……"

"After all, he violated the curfew and even bribed the city gate to open the city gate, but Wu Qiong took it down on the spot. If the crime is not punished, what is the court's law?"

"Then..." Cai Yong panicked immediately, after all, he has a good personal relationship with Sima Fang: "This is a serious crime of beheading!"

"Felony?" Cai Yan snorted, and said with emotion: "If you have enough power, all rules will serve you; if you have enough connections to buy contacts, all rules will be allowed." Flexible; if you have neither power nor money, all the rules are made for you."

"Originally, Uncle Sima Shi was worried about the situation in Luoyang and absconded late at night with his family, but his uncle easily took advantage of the loopholes in the law and changed the nature of absconding late at night into rushing for funerals late at night. He accidentally violated the law in a moment of confusion."

"The result of the final disposal?..."

"To seize the post of Luoyang Order, except for Luoyang Cheng, you will have to work for three years to pay off the crime. If the government affairs are outstanding in the three years, the official can be restored to the original post." After Cai Yan finished this sentence, he added: "In addition, choose Xiaolian Sima Lang As the mayor of Luoyang, he is fully responsible for the reform of the three cities of Luoyang."

"This..." Although Cai Yong is obsessed with literature and Taoism, he has experienced ups and downs for a long time, and he is not ignorant of the ways of the officialdom: "Just took the post of Luoyang order, but did not appoint a new candidate. Could it be that Jiangong can still be the prime minister of Luoyang?" Acting as an agent for the government affairs of the government? Moreover, there is only a three-year period."

"At the same time, the eldest son of Sima was elected as an official, and he was entrusted with important tasks... For the Sima family, wouldn't the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the Sima family?"

"Father..." At this time, Cai Yan was too lazy to say much, and said bluntly, "Don't you realize that this is uncle's solicitation against Sima's family?"

"He originally wanted to find a candidate for the mayor of Luoyang, but it happened that Brother Sima, a handsome young man, jumped into his eyes. Has a lot of experience in politics...Is there anyone more suitable than him?"

"It just so happened that uncle knew in advance that Uncle Sima Shi was going to abscond, and after some planning, he was sure. In this way, the Sima family has been rebuilt. How can the Sima family not work hard to repay it?"

After speaking, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and continued: "Even if Uncle Sima Shi still disagrees, in the eyes of outsiders, their family has already taken refuge with their uncle, and they are forced to go all the way to the dark."

"Heh, don't even think about getting on uncle's thief boat. If you can't get your heart, you will get someone first. The twisted melon is not sweet but quenches your thirst...Uncle, you are really a conspiracy!"

The 17-year-old girl Youyou sighed, seeing for the first time the horror and wonder of the human heart, and her three views were subverted.

When I thought of Brother Sima being sold and helping to count the money, and Fatty Dong Zesi smiling so comfortably and satisfiedly at their backs, I remembered that I felt a shudder running through my body at that time, and my tender body stopped. I couldn't help trembling for a while.

"But, so to speak, Luoyang has not lost an upright and upright parent official, but also gained a mayor who worked hard to benefit the merchants and the people..." Cai Yong also pulled his beard in thought, and finally looked up with a strange expression Said: "Although the method of the Taiwei is disgraceful, but the result..."

"Yes..." Cai Yan also nodded in agreement, and looked at his father with complex and resentful eyes: "This is the difference between my uncle and my father. My father followed the Confucianism, and ended up in exile for more than ten years. Uncle When the court gains power, it can be in charge of the court and take whatever it wants."

"..."

Cai Yong was speechless immediately, feeling a little grievanced in his heart: Why did you abduct me while you were talking?
Seeing that Cai Yan smiled knowingly after being lonely, his eyes were full of admiration, and his heart jumped again: It's over, this eldest daughter...it seems that she is going to recognize the thief as her father!
"Zhao Ji, conspiring evil ways, being contemptible, and causing future troubles, you must not..." The worried old father hurriedly persuaded, hoping to bring the eldest daughter back on track.

Before he could finish speaking, Cai Yan interrupted: "As long as my uncle has the skills to control people and has a heart-to-heart friendship, it doesn't mean that the beginning of the game cannot end well."

"Even in the wild world, there is a saying 'If you don't fight, you don't know each other'."

"If you just blindly use the righteous way of father, how can uncle get his wish quickly and benefit the people of Luoyang? One day of delay is the well-being of the people."

"..."

Hey, my daughter has grown up, the most abominable thing is that I still teach so well, I can't beat her...

So when Cai Yan turned to leave, Cai Yong had no choice but to look hopefully at the trumpet who was dozing aside: "Wan'er, do you remember the meaning of that sentence just now?"

"Yeah, oh...remember." Cai Wan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Well, when I wrote this "Women's Training" for my father, I referred to the "Women's Commandments" of everyone in the class, as well as "Rituals·Mourning Clothes" and "Zhouli·Tianguan" and other books. I will teach you tomorrow as a father' How about three obediences and four virtues?"

When Cai Wan heard this, her cute and cute baby face suddenly turned into a bitter face: "Father..."

"Father, don't mislead Wan'er like this. It is better for her to be taught by her daughter in the future." Unexpectedly, Cai Yan left and returned at this time.

"Zhao Ji, you also learned these things when you were young. Do you want to criticize the 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues'?" Cai Yong faintly felt that his position as the head of the family was in jeopardy.

Cai Yan replied calmly, "My daughter dare not, because my daughter learned these things in elementary school, and after discussing with my uncle, I was deeply moved."

"Uncle said that men and women are born with Yin and Yang, and he has never looked down on women. But some of the norms in the 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues' are actually suppressing women."

"This is an ancient teaching... Could it be that in your eyes, the "Female Training" written by your father is used to suppress and tame you?" Cai Yong was furious: The old thief deceived others so much that he even meddled in his own family affairs!
"No." Cai Yan shook his head and said, "Uncle never had such intentions, on the contrary, he was full of praise for father's "Girls' Training"."

"Huh?..." Cai Yong was taken aback.

"Uncle said that rights and obligations are equal, and so should men and women. This world is full of requirements for men. The high ones have 'self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace', 'six arts, five virtues, four cultivation and eight elegance', while the low ones have to support their families. , Protecting wives and daughters, but there are not many books teaching women."

"Such indifference is the greatest oppression for women!"

"Huh?..." Cai Yong was taken aback again: It seems that there is some truth.

"Out of his love for his daughter, the father wrote the "Women's Training" with the matter of grooming to warn women that they need to be diligent, cautious and independent, and distinguish right from wrong. It is a great achievement."

"It's just that women need to raise and teach their offspring, handle housework, and support the other half of the day with their weak bodies. They are also responsible and admirable."

"It's right for men and women to perform their duties and love each other. Why do you obey your father before you get married, your husband after your marriage, and your son after your husband's death? Blindly follow without any opinions, and be a thoughtless walking dead?"

"Why?..." Cai Yong asked again.

"Therefore, my daughter intends to make a good living to teach Waner and women's virtues, and to be authentic; women's words, words are decent; women's appearance, dignified and elegant; women's skills, husbands and children; 'Four haves' women."

"Well, what the Taiwei said..." Cai Yong picked up his beard again, and started pacing back and forth: "You must teach, and you must not follow blindly. There is a limit to relaxation, this... makes sense."

At the same time, he was also deeply puzzled: Then, that guy... Is he really just a murderous, vulgar martial artist in the frontier?

"It's just..." At this point, Cai Yan frowned, and his expression became weird again.

"But what?"

"After my uncle told his daughter about this, he looked very distressed. He also said that he would find a way to let his daughter carry forward her female virtue..."

Recalling the scene at that time, Cai Yan felt that Lao Dong was very sad and determined: "Uncle also said that the disappearance of traditional culture and art is a pity, and we must not lose this too!"
