Chapter 184 The Deviant Girl
Chapter 184 The Deviant Girl
Out of curiosity, Zhou Nan entered the study.
When I stepped over the threshold, I heard Zhu Congzhu's roar: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. What the lady said is ridiculous. The world only hears that a man has three wives and four concubines, and women die from one. This is the way of heaven and human relations. How can there be any one?" The reason for the female dove?"
Zhou Nan was shocked when he heard this.A woman with multiple husbands, isn't this too avant-garde?
Looking intently again, he saw Zhu Congchi sitting in the study with a fourteen or fifteen year old girl.
That girl was born petite, but she has bright eyes and bright teeth, and there is such a heroic spirit in her brows that she is unrestrained and bright.Behind her, stood Bai Qi.
If there is no mistake, this person is Ah Jiu from Xu Jie's mansion.
Ah Jiu shook his head: "Otherwise, brother Zhu's words are wrong. The so-called etiquette and morality were only established by Zhu Xi and Er Cheng in the Southern Dynasty. Before the Song Dynasty, it was common for women to marry again. For example, Princess Taiping married twice in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Li Qingzhao, a layman in Yi'an, also remarried after her husband Zhao Mingcheng died. It makes no sense to use these so-called Gangchang ethics to restrain her daughter after she was born after Zhu Cheng."
"Before Zhu Cheng, neither Confucius nor Mencius said that a woman must observe festivals after she loses her spouse."
Zhou Nan heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard what Ah Jiu said.It turned out that the two were discussing whether a woman could remarry after widowing, not polyandry.Otherwise, if their conversation spreads, his reputation will be completely ruined.
"I've met the Ninth Young Master, but I don't know what you can learn from your visit?"
Ah Jiu nodded to Zhou Nan, showing her white and neat millet teeth: "Of course I have something to ask Mr. Zhou, and told me to wait."
"Shut up!" At this moment, Zhu Congzhu let out an angry roar.
He is a member of the royal family. Although he cannot take the imperial examination, he has been studying since he was a child. Confucianism is sacred and inviolable in his mind.Most scholars dare not call Confucius and Mencius by their first names, but call them Dacheng, the most holy teacher and Yasheng: "You woman is really annoying. If a woman doesn't obey women's ways, what shame is there?" The reason why people are not beasts is because they know shame and abide by order. The so-called etiquette, honesty and shame are the four dimensions of a country. If the four dimensions are not expanded, the country will perish."
Ah Jiu snorted coldly with disdain: "Brother Zhu, you and I are discussing etiquette and knowledge today. If you have a point, it's okay to say it. Blindly going online and using a big hat to oppress others can only show that you are a good person." There is nothing in it, just a straw bag."
"You!" Zhu Cong was so angry that his face was livid, and his hands trembled slightly.
Seeing that he was going to get angry, Ah Jiu suddenly smiled and asked back: "Brother Zhu is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. He must have read the sentence 'The sky does not give birth to Zhongni, and the ages are like a long night'?"
Zhu Congchen: "So what if I have read it?"
Ah Jiu: "You scholars have always regarded the words of Confucius and Mencius as Guigao. I think the words of these two sages must be right?"
Zhu Congchen: "Isn't that nonsense, what kind of sage's words do you know as a little girl?"
Ah Jiu rolled his eyes flexibly: "Then let me ask you, why did Confucius and Mencius prevent women from marrying again?"
Zhu Congbai: "How do I know?"
"That's because you don't read carefully, or you study hard, and you don't know how to think." Ah Jiu continued: "The reason is very simple. The country is short of people. Women are weak, can't get off the ground, and can't fight. If the husband dies, the If you want to keep it for a lifetime and don't give birth to children for the country, what use is it for you?"
"Confucius said in "The Analects of Confucius" and "Advanced Chapter": The country of a thousand vehicles is taken between the big countries, and the division is added, and it is famine. Judging from this article, at that time, there were big countries like Qi and Jin in China. , the power of the whole country is no more than a thousand chariots. Counting three people in one car, it is only three thousand soldiers. The national conscription is based on twenty cents, and the country has only 50 to 12 young and strong men, plus 10 years old Above the elderly, children under the age of [-], and women, the so-called big country in Confucius’s time had a population of only a few hundred thousand.”
""Historical Records. The Family of Goujian the King of Yue" records that when Goujian started to attack Wu, the troops dispatched were: 2000 Faxiliu, 4 priests, 6000 gentlemen, and a thousand royals to attack Wu, totaling 9000. It can be seen that, At that time, the total population of Vietnam was not large.”
"In the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping in the Warring States Period, Lord Wu'an killed 40 soldiers in Baiqi, killing almost all the young and strong in Zhao State. It can be seen that the population of Zhao State at that time was only a few million, which is now It’s just two or three Shuntian Mansions.”
Ah Jiu continued: "From this analysis, how thin the population was in China in ancient times, the population is the foundation of a strong country. Therefore, the ancients did not prohibit women from marrying again, and even encouraged widows to marry and give birth. Punishment by the government. In the Song Dynasty, the population suddenly increased. Take Tokyo Bianliang as an example, it reached millions. You can read the "Tokyo Menghualu" clearly on this point."
"When there is a large population, there will be more people to eat. At this time, the measure of a country's national strength is no longer the population, but money and food. When there are more people, etiquette and laws must be used to restrain individual behavior. Only in this way can we Say it on Women's Day."
"It can be seen that ethics and morality are not static. They are different in different times." Ah Jiu pointed to Zhu Cong's nose and said, "Brother Zhu, you still don't read carefully, or you don't pay attention when you study. Learning without thinking is futile." , it’s you.”
Zhou Nan was taken aback when he heard it, and thought to himself: This Ah Jiu can't be a time traveler, does he know historical materialism?Moreover, this woman is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she has read so many books, which is very rare.
Hearing Ah Jiu mocking himself, Zhu Congchi was even more annoyed: "Absurd, absurd."
Afraid that they would quarrel, Zhou Nan interrupted quickly: "Are you two discussing women's remarriage? Although the government encourages widows to observe festivals, there are widows in the country who observe festivals for 20 years. The family can be exempted from tax by one stone every year, and memorial archways will be erected after death. But if a widow can't live on, it's common for a widow to remarry."
The Ming Dynasty was in the budding stage of capitalism, and the big cities were the first to open up. It was not uncommon for women to remarry or even divorce, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it.They are all from Lower Liba, petty bourgeoisie, not scholar-bureaucrats, so what matters is what they eat.
Ah Jiu said with a smile: "I just heard from Brother Zhu that his family opened a bookstore, and I also like to read books. I read everything, except classics and history collections, even the scriptures and even Fengyue books are always open..."
Bai Qi, who had been standing expressionlessly next to her, coughed violently when she heard her words getting more and more outrageous.
Ah Jiu was very dissatisfied, and gave him a sideways glance: "What are you coughing, so what about reading Fengyue Books, I am studying knowledge, not learning, so hold it back for me."
Bai Qi's face turned purple.
Ah Jiu: "I told Brother Zhu just now that the novel books printed in the market are all for men to read, and why men have three wives and four concubines. novels."
She suddenly became excited, and her eyes sparkled: "Think about it, we are writing this way. It is about an ordinary-looking or even ugly woman who is suddenly loved by a large group of talented, educated, and handsome men. What a pity, She is only a daughter, how can she marry so many people."
"What a wonderful story that is... If we get a book like this, the ladies in the boudoir will be crazy about it. It costs one tael of silver, or three taels of silver. Sell it for several thousand Tens of thousands of copies, how much money does this have to make!"
Miss Ajiu thought of this great future, and she was fascinated leisurely.
Zhou Nan was tongue-tied: This...isn't it the Marisu novel of later generations...the Ninth Young Master can't really be a time traveler, can he?
Ah Jiu: "I'm a girl, so I naturally understand girls' minds. Brother Zhu, trust me, that's right."
Zhu Cong was furious: "How can an ordinary-looking or even a little ugly girl make romantic and talented people fall in love with her and go crazy for her? Are they blind?"
Ah Jiu said lightly: "Carrot and cabbage, everyone has their own love, who can explain the love between men and women clearly! Get a book like this!"
Zhu Congchen: "Listen to you, I have to lose money for this kind of book. How can I stand in the world with such a dirty book?"
Ah Jiu: "Didn't you say that your bookstore would pay you for every book you engrave? Face, you have been kicked out of the house by your wife, and you can't return home. What face is there?"
"You... have different ways, don't conspire with each other!" General Zhu of Fengguo exploded angrily, shook his clothes and left.
Zhou Nan looked at Ah Jiu, and the more he watched, the more interesting he became.This girl is so deviant, she is simply a time traveler, such a person really cherished species in ancient times.
Moreover, this woman has read many people and has unique insights, which is really rare.
Is this still the quality a family should have?
Zhou Nan was skeptical, and said: "Master Ninth, I had a hasty farewell that day, and I haven't asked for your name. With your knowledge and knowledge, I think you are a person of status, so I still ask for advice."
"Is it inappropriate for you to ask a woman's name? Just call me Jiu Gongzi." In ancient times, a woman's boudoir name could not be casually told to others, except her parents and husband.Ah Jiu smiled: "Forget it, it's okay to let you know my name, my surname is Xu Mingzhi. I heard that you have already met my grandfather, bring it here!"
As he spoke, he spread his right hand.
"What, you are the granddaughter of Elder Xu...ge?" Zhou Nan was taken aback.
Ah Jiu became a little unhappy: "Is there any advantage in pretending to be Xu Ge's granddaughter? I'm too lazy to hide it from you."
Zhou Nan: "Old Xu Ge is the second assistant, and the official residence is the second rank, how honorable. Unexpectedly, the young master is the granddaughter of the old man, disrespectful and disrespectful." No wonder this Ah Jiu can occupy the black market economy of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the yamen outside Dali Temple. But have such an identity.
The Xu family has always been domineering, and the disciples and servants bullied men and women in Songjiang Hengxing Township, causing great public outrage.There are always several cases brought up every year, but unfortunately the government dare not take care of them.
Ah Jiu curled her lips in disdain: "My grandfather has two sons, fourteen grandchildren, and ten granddaughters. If there are more children and grandchildren, they are worthless. The status of a concubine like me in the mansion is not as good as that of a close relative." What's there to show off as a servant girl serving my grandfather?"
Zhou Nan deeply believed that any family, no matter the emperor's family or ordinary people.When there are too many people in the family, there must be separation of relatives and estrangements.The peacock is not as good as the chicken, so to speak, it is the unfavored family son and distant brother.Zhu Congchen is like this, so is Ah Jiu.
This Ninth Young Master must have been bullied and ignored in the mansion, so he wandered around outside all day without being restrained.
Ah Jiu: "Don't be sympathetic. I live a happy life. It's not a problem to earn him a hundred taels of silver every month. The brothers and sisters in the house are so jealous that their eyes are green. I'm so happy! Bring it."
Zhou Nan: "What?"
Ninth Young Master: "Last time you said you wanted to see Elder Xu Ge, and you have already met him. Shouldn't you give me the 200 taels of silver?"
"Wori!" Zhou Nan choked out a mouthful of tea, but he forgot about it.
