Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 31 Cao Nier Goes to School
boom!
"I won't marry, and I won't marry even if I die. If you want to marry, you can do it yourself!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Nier kicked down the stool, turned away and left. The angry old Cao cursed, while Chun Erniang smiled awkwardly, and Sun Yue and Sun Chunming looked at each other.

If it wasn't for the whole story, the father and son would have thought that he was going to marry some stupid son of a rich landlord.

But in fact, what Erniang Chun was talking about this time is really a young talent, the only son of Liao in the west of the city, only 15 years old this year. Cao Nier has seen it herself, and Liao Yuanwai's family is also a good family, no matter from which point of view, they are a good match.

Then Erniang Chun also scolded bitterly in her heart, she just started talking, but you gave me a chance to recommend it, why is it so hard to talk about your family's marriage.

"I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off! Did someone talk to her father like that? It's unfilial! Unfilial!"

Mrs. Zhang gently scratched Lao Cao's head, and said: "There is no such thing as you, my daughter's skin is thin, I can't bear you, you stay here, entertain Erniang Chun, I will ask Ni'er Let's see what's going on."

Since moving to a new house, the original Widow Zhang was finally coaxed by Lao Cao. Now they are sleeping in the same room, and Widow Zhang has become the Zhang family. They are all dead, but there is nothing to do, give a name or something.

Sun Yue jumped up and said, "I'll go too." Then she entered Cao Nier's boudoir with Mrs. Zhang.

But Cao Nier was sitting on the bed alone and sulked, and when she saw Mrs. Zhang coming, she deliberately turned her side and pursed her lips.

Sun Yue took off her shoes, jumped onto the bed in one step, and said with a smile: "Why are you so angry, sister? I remember you told me that Mr. Liao is quite handsome a few days ago."

"Go! What do children know about every family?"

Mrs. Zhang also sat down and said with a smile: "Ni'er, what are you thinking, tell my aunt, and my aunt will tell you, do we despise Mr. Liao?"

Cao Nier said aggrievedly, "I'm angry with my father. He is so eager to marry me off? Auntie, tell my father that I won't marry. The eldest mother is old and sick, and she can't afford to be around her." Without relatives to take care of him, let him talk about this later in the year."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Silly girl, how can a woman not marry? If you marry early, we pick someone, and if you marry late, they pick us. Your aunt has an aunt to take care of you, so you can rest assured." .”

Cao Nier pouted again, turned her face away, and said angrily: "Anyway, I won't marry, not even to death. I just learned how to read and write. I don't want to marry a man so early, have a child, and be surrounded by people all my life." A man’s child turns”.

Mrs. Zhang was surprised: "Which woman doesn't revolve around men and children? You child, don't you want to be an aunt in the future?"

Sun Yue smiled and said, "Sister, don't you want to marry a scholar?"

Cao Nier blushed, and hummed shyly.

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, and said: "It turns out that you have a high spirit. It's okay. When the rankings are released in the spring, my aunt and your father will go and block them. I promise to catch you a man in green. How about it?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Nier was even more angry, and said: "I don't want to catch a son-in-law under the list, it's a shame to kill me, besides, how many of those so-called green men are decent? Last year, shopkeeper Zhang next door caught one of their daughters." , already 43, is this looking for a husband or a big daddy?"

Catching a son-in-law under the ranking list is considered a unique marriage culture of the Song Dynasty. Every year when the ranking list is released, wealthy families in Kaifeng will gather with their daughters and servants at the edge of Jinming Pool, and if they catch the new Jinshi who looks a little more pleasing to the eye, they will go home. He would rob her, take her home, and then promote her own girls in various ways. Because all the new scholars except the number one scholar were given green robes, they were also called the men in green robes. There is a poem that says: But I recall that Jin Mingchi is on the road, and the red skirts compete to see the man in green.

Sun Yue complained: "With the conditions of our family, men in green clothes under the age of 30 don't have to think about it at all. Those who can catch fifty are regarded as burning incense. I have heard a poem, 'Read all the documents for one hundred. Dan, you only get a green shirt when you are old. But the matchmaker asked Yu's age, 40 33 years ago. 'Auntie, I think it's okay, it's quite suitable to grab one back and be a wife with the eldest mother."

Mrs. Zhang said with a dark face: "Go! If you don't help, it will only add to the chaos, then you say, this will not work, that will not work, what do you want."

Cao Nu held back for a long time, and said, "I want to choose by myself."

Zhang said angrily: "Choose yourself? Which one to choose? Where do you choose?"

"I want to go to school."

ha?
Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, "Go to school? What are you going to learn? You're going to die! Whose girl goes to school? Are you going to marry or not? This is a crime! Brother Yue didn't go to school, what did you go to? "

Sun Yue said: "My aunt is wrong. It's not that I don't want to go to school, but I just don't like those elementary schools. To be a little boastful, if there is a Tongju this year, I will take it like a bag. Even the Mingjing also has it. With seventy to eighty percent confidence, it is enough for me to become a teacher for them, if it is not too young and they will not accept me, I will definitely find an academy."

Mrs. Zhang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I don't know this or that. It's all for girls who can read and write. What's the matter with going to school?"

But Sun Yue said: "I think it's okay. What's the matter with girls going to school? It's not like they didn't go to school. Almost all the girls from high-ranking and noble families go to school. If they don't read books, they are not polite. My sister is so beautiful, why should people choose us?" What kind of young man in green clothes are you still catching, fart, my sister, if you want to marry, you have to marry a young man in green clothes."

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, the status of women was still very high, which was not much different from that in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called nonsense is basically nonsense. It is not that there are no students who go to school, but there are very few. Most of them are children of high-ranking officials. Although Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was as successful as in the Song Dynasty, it was only in the Ming Dynasty that it was promoted to the altar. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it developed to the point of abnormality. In the Song Dynasty, no one really took their methods seriously.

In the Song Dynasty there were great female writers like Li Qingzhao, Su Xiaomei, and Tang Wan. Of course, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were only Liu Rushi and Xiaofengxian.

As for nonsense such as starvation to death, small injustice, and big things, if Cheng Yi dared to say it 20 years earlier, Fan Zhongyan would beat him with a big mouth, because Fan Zhongyan's mother took him to remarry, and after his son died early, he would return his daughter-in-law. Marrying his own student, Sima Guang has also repeatedly advocated for women to study and go to school in public.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, it was not uncommon for women to go to school, but they could not enter the academy. Sun Yue agreed with Cao Nier's idea with both hands and feet.

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said: "It doesn't matter, I can't talk about you anymore, let your father talk about you."
