Only then did everyone know the truth of the matter, they were surprised for a moment, but also felt reasonable, and started discussing in low voices.

Someone couldn't help but asked aloud:

"Will all the masters who teach us in the future be women?"

Lou Rongrong looked in the direction of the person who made the sound, and replied patiently:

"No, if unmarried girls and young girls are of the right age, they will go to school in the academy attached to the library in the future. The teachers who usually attend classes are mostly female, but occasionally there will be respected scholars. It will be said that at that time, as long as the women who have registered their names in the library can go to attend."

"If you are a married lady, there will be people in the library teaching the most basic enlightenment courses in the lobby every day. You can come and listen when you are free. The professor's husband depends on which gentleman is free, and it should be a female gentleman."

This is a reasonable thing. After all, everything starts with the beginning. Naturally, everyone’s views on women’s reading cannot be the same as men’s. Therefore, women are mostly teaching at the beginning. But if libraries can really become popular in the whole country, women’s reading If you become popular, you don't have so many grudges.

Everyone nodded, obviously understanding.

There was a little girl about ten years old, with two thick black braids. Because of her thin face, her eyes were big and bright. Dang even stood up, twisted her braids, and looked at Lou Rong. He asked timidly:

"Princess! My brother said, the teacher said that women are born stupid and stupid. Even if they study, they must not be as good as men. I... can we really be as good as men?"

Lou Rongrong Road:

"Why can't you? Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. How can a woman be so stupid and stupid? He has studied for several years, which master is he from? Even a sage dare not make such an assertion. How dare he make such a false statement?"

The little girl blinked, hesitated and said:

"He...he has been studying for a year, I...I don't know the name of the husband, but he said, what the teacher said, 'A woman without talent is virtue', 'Only a woman and a villain are difficult to raise', he said That's why I said so."

Other women also echoed:

"I've heard of it too! My mother just told me that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and it's useless for a woman to study."

"My father got angry, and when he vented his anger on me and my mother, he would often say something, but women and villains are hard to raise, and what the saint said was right!"

……

Lou Rongrong smiled:

"What is my way of thinking? Just now you said that Mr. made such remarks. I am still puzzled. What kind of Mr. dares to make such a false statement and mislead his children. After listening to your explanation, I understand that it is not Mr. nonsense, but your brother." I didn’t listen well in school, and that’s why I misunderstood.”

The crowd didn't know why, Lou Rongrong explained with a smile:

"Let me start with the sentence, 'Women are virtuous without talent'. Its words originally came from Chen Jiru's saying: 'Women who are literate and able to understand righteousness are definitely virtuous, but they are rare; others like to watch music. This novel stirs up evil intentions, and even plays tricks to do non-scandalous things. Instead, it is better to be illiterate and keep a low profile. A woman's ignorance is virtue. It can be said to be the best.'”

"When I say this, you may not understand. In fact, to put it bluntly, that is to say, it is good for women to become virtuous people who understand righteousness after reading and literacy. Unfortunately, there are too few. After reading the text, but only use it to read scripts on weekdays, have impure thoughts, provoke right and wrong, and do immoral things, it is worse than someone who has never read or read."

Everyone looked at each other, and someone tentatively said:

"But... doesn't that still mean that women should not study?"

Lou Rongrong asked back:

"Let me ask all of you, if after reading and literacy, women have the opportunity to take part in scientific examinations, become officials in the court, become disciples of the emperor, or at the most basic level, can make a living from it, you will be free and just watch it every day. Read the storybook, flipping through your lips to get by?"

Before the others opened their mouths, a certain woman who was originally assigned to trip Lou Rongrong sneered:

"We're not those spoiled young ladies who still read the storybook, bah, I can't finish a day's work, how can I have that free time!"

It was obvious that he had a lot of resentment towards the master.

Lou Rongrong smiled and said:

"That's it. When Chen Jiru said this, there was no such thing as a women's library. Women who can read and write are all born well, at least they are also young ladies from wealthy families. They can read and write, but they can't do scientific research. , I can't be an official, and I don't need to make a living with it. The only useful thing is that when we talk about marriage, I can boast to my husband's family, saying that my girl is literate, and I will spend time with my future husband. I can also recite two sour poems."

There was someone below who secretly lowered his head, not daring to look up at her.

Lou Rongrong noticed it, and comforted her:

"I know, when you came here, many people thought that they would also hug. If you study, you can find a better husband's family. If the family is poor, you may be able to be a scholar in the future. If he gets fame, then It's even better. It's human, nothing to be ashamed of."

"It's just that I want to tell everyone that thinking about studying to improve your social status and marrying a better man is a waste of your own talents. We study hard and learn the words of the sages and the truths of the world. The sages teach us to have the world in mind. To assist the king, to cultivate oneself, to regulate the family, to govern the country and to bring peace to the world, and then after we finished our studies, we were told by others that 'a woman without talent is virtue', so that she dared not show her talent, and dared not stand shoulder to shoulder with men, think about it , isn't it a pity?"

Everyone thought about it, and it was obvious that someone had listened to it.

The braided little girl who asked the question before couldn't wait to ask again:

"Sister, sister, then... what do you say about 'Only a gentleman and a woman are difficult to raise'?"

Lou Rongrong explained:

"This sentence is a real sage's words. It comes from the words of Confucius in "The Analects of Confucius". The whole sentence is "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they will not be grandchildren, and if they are far away, they will complain." In "The Analects of Confucius", Zhu Zi interpreted "women and villains" as "concubines", that is, concubines and servants, so the original meaning of this sentence is "Only wives and servants are difficult to deal with: close, not humble; alienated "Again, complain again" is to teach the monarch to treat the people around him properly, and he does not mean to despise women. "

The little girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily:

"This bastard, his parents worked hard and finally paid for him to go to school. As a result, he didn't even listen to Mr. in class. He even used Mr.'s name to scare me, and watched me go back. He didn't tell his parents. Father and mother spanked his ass hard!"

The little girl who was timid just now, when she mentioned teaching her younger brother a lesson, she suddenly became paralyzed.
