Manifest Marriage I

The matter of women from aristocratic families enthusiastically enrolling in Baihe Academy for Women's Academy caused quite a stir in just three days.

The academy is a man's world, how can women be allowed to share a piece of the pie?As soon as this remark came out, I don't know how many aristocratic women's resentment was aroused.

People with different standpoints and ideas quarreled, but the matter was a foregone conclusion. Day Jing wanted to send Lian Zhou to study in a women's college, so he didn't care about the many worldly prejudices. Beautiful female classmate.

Thirty years ago, some Confucian women proposed to set up a women's school in the academy to encourage more women to study in the academy.

The difficulty of this move, under the background that men are respected in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Confucian woman argued in Baihe Pavilion for three days and three nights on her own, leaving all the opponents speechless.He also used all his wealth to build book houses and schools, and this was the precedent for an academy to open a women's school.

But the world is not as good as people want, and no one cherishes the opportunity that female Confucianism has exchanged all her life's knowledge and half her life's wealth for.

In other words, no woman from an aristocratic family dares to be the No. 1 who is eager to learn from the sea.

I dare not, and I don't want to.

I don't want to, and it's unnecessary.

There is no need to leave home to study, no need to put yourself on the cusp of the storm.

The family's tradition of prudence and self-preservation led to the fact that no one signed up for the newly opened women's courtyard that year.

This incident seemed to be the biggest joke in Xunyang City 30 years ago.

I still remember that year, a 33-year-old female Confucian woman stood in a brand-new Confucian uniform at the gate of the women's courtyard. newborn.

The cruel world ruthlessly dealt her a fatal blow.

The scene of her fantasy was severely torn apart, the comments and ridicule of the people around her, as well as the school and bookstore standing upright behind her, all ridiculed her innocence.

The moment the night fell, the moment the registration deadline, the Confucian woman stood at the gate of the women's courtyard and shed tears silently.

Three days later, a serious illness struck, and the illness did not recover, so she decided to leave Xunyang far away.

Seven female masters were carefully selected for the opening of the women's school.Times have changed, and nowadays, Baihe Academy is facing a situation where there are no one to recruit. There are students, but there are no teachers who teach courses. Looking at it, this is another fresh joke.

At the gate where the academy is in full swing to repair the book house and school, a woman carrying a book basket came from afar, staring intently at the academy's monument of "learned and practiced, teaching without discrimination", and let out an inaudible sound laugh.

The overwhelmed master of the academy glanced sideways, and immediately stopped.

He came forward: "Your Excellency, come here..."

For some reason, the visitor's eyebrows and eyes are always familiar. In the midst of his busy schedule, the man asked this question.

The woman who was questioned was beautiful and looked only 24 or [-] years old.

Hearing that she tightened the book basket on her back, she said in a cold voice, "I'm here to apply to be the teacher of the women's courtyard."

It's not like someone who came to apply for a job as a teacher, with a cold heart, it seems like he's here to seek revenge.

The man suddenly thought of something, and slapped his forehead: "Dare to ask your surname?"

"Shen..."

"You..." The man suddenly asked, "Who are you, Shen Yu?"

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were cold and arrogant, her red lips parted lightly: "It's my mother..."

Thirty years ago, Shen Yu, a Confucian woman, tried her best to resist all opinions. She was stunned to open a door for a dignified woman to study in Baihe Academy, the No. 30 hospital of Dazhou. Come in.

It became a hard-to-heal scar in Shen Yu's heart.

Then she went back to her hometown to recruit a family member, which added a legendary touch to her rich life.

Such a wonderful person spent most of his life in preaching, teaching karma and resolving doubts. His life expectancy was 63, and he passed away half a month ago.

End with a smile...

Knowing that Emperor Xunyang has many daughters from aristocratic families vying to sign up to enter the women's courtyard, she laughed three times while lying on the sickbed, and burst into tears. Before she died, she specially asked the only unmarried young girl to go to the academy to contribute to her teaching career and complete her life's unfinished business. merit.

Shen Duan was taciturn by nature, and ignored the man beside him who was immersed in the past.

She raised her head and continued to look at this academy known as the No. 1 Academy of the Great Zhou, thinking that her mother was hit hard here, and for no reason she felt bored with the morals of this world.

In addition to being bored, there is also a deep sense of helplessness -- can she really find the ambitious and dedicated learner that her mother said she was here?

Count on those proud daughters of aristocratic families, ah!

Shen Duan's expression was vaguely irritated.

She came here with the will to be filial to her mother, she narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression became colder, and she looked at the man without saying a word.

There were men in their forties, and a girl's family felt chills down their backs, and said with a sneer, "Is your Excellency the only one on this trip?"

"There are three senior sisters on the way."

After dozing off, a pillow came, sure enough, with Shen Yu's temperament, how could he give up carrying out his lifelong ideals?He rubbed his hands, "Senior Shen didn't come?"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Duan's eyes flashed with sadness: "She can't come."

After the man was stunned, no matter how hard it was to keep his waist straight, he bent down willingly, and performed the very solemn "folding ceremony" of a literati to the young woman.

"Mr. Gao Yi..."

This is what Shen Yu deserved, Shen Duan stood up straight, and the surrogate mother accepted it calmly.

My mother's whole life has been devoted to this place, and the huge and grand plan died at the first step. Dazhou doesn't value women's education. To change the study atmosphere of a country, we need to find a way from above.

If the majority of women from aristocratic families read poetry and books, and surpass men in the world in terms of knowledge, strong strength can shake the long-standing prejudice.

No matter what the reason is that the family changed their minds, Ken took the initiative to urge the daughter of the family to come to the academy to study.Then, from now on, she just needs to follow her mother's instructions and walk down to the ground step by step.

Shen Duan clenched her palms tightly, she was willing to face any wind and rain in the future calmly.

one month later...

Baihe Women's College officially enrolls students.

The aristocratic family spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in exchange for a new look of the women's courtyard.

Shen Duan in a Confucian uniform, like Shen Yu 30 years ago, stood like a jade at the gate of the women's courtyard.

Many visitors...

Lianzhou was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night, with the faint black eyes under her eyes, she happily paid the one-year Shuxiu, and took the small wooden sign for admission from the woman's hand with a smile on her lips.

There are huge crowds of people, servants and maidservants accounted for the vast majority.

Maybe it's because she couldn't hide her joy, Shen Duan took a rare look, and was shocked by the girl's appearance, so his mind went blank for a while.

A small face the size of a palm, with delicate skin that can be broken by blowing bombs, eyes full of water, full of affection, and shallow dimples, making it even more charming when she smiles, her gestures are gentle and graceful, and her beauty is incredible.

"What are you laughing at?" she asked.

"Ah? Are you asking me?" Lian Zhou put away her small wooden sign properly. The back of the wooden sign marked the bookstore and school where she was located. She looked back and waved at someone standing on the deck on the lake. She said shyly: "Dreams come true, of course I'm happy."

The timbre is clear and the lingering sound is mellow. She walked away quickly, like a bird flying free, eagerly walking towards the destination she longed for.

The joy in the girl's eyebrows infected Shen Duan, and she thought to herself: Maybe this old world has really changed, and I don't know.

Wenmo Lake opposite Baihe Academy.

The wind blows the surface of the lake, and on the luxurious big boat, the children of the aristocratic family dressed in splendid clothes are talking and laughing.

Holding the white jade cup in his hand, Song Lian sat on the deck and watched the enrollment of the girls' college. His elder sister also entered the girls' college at the request of his father. On the first day of entering the academy, he didn't know if he could adapt.

The worries in his heart were about to come out of his eyes. Zheng Er smiled and drank a glass of sake, put his arms around his shoulders, and joked: "Mr. Song is so sentimental. My younger sisters are studying in the academy. An older brother doesn’t have to worry about you as a younger brother.”

He gave a "tsk" puzzledly: "I don't know what you are worried about? A Jing, do you think so?"

Tilting his head to look, he saw that the most beautiful day view among Yishui's young handsome men was also staring at the direction of the women's courtyard. It was strange that Zheng Er's right hand was waving in front of her eyes, with a face like "the teeth are going to be sour." ’ look.

Going back a few months, on the day of Qingming outing, he and Song Lian were still worrying about the marriage of their good friend, Patriarch Zhou. They didn't expect how long it would be before the number one beauty in Kyushu, who they had never been in love with, knew in their hearts that she was pretending to be charming and pretty. girl.

The girl's jumping figure was no longer visible, and Zhou Jing pinched the cup between his fingers and smiled faintly: "You treat everyone as you, heartless and heartless."

Zheng Er opened his mouth and wanted to refute, and he was overwhelmed by his friend's astonished face, unable to say a word "no" again.

Several people drink wine and cook tea together to pass the time.

It stands to reason that she should send Zhou Zhou to the hospital in person on such a day, but if she appeared on Baihe Academy's admissions day, it might cause quite a bit of trouble here. Yesterday the academy dean specially wrote a letter to convey a kind reminder.

Zhou Zhou also refused to ask her to come forward, so he could only sit on the lake and watch from a distance.

Although Song Lian and Zheng Er's looks are far less eye-catching than Zhou Jing, and their appearance will not attract the eager pursuit of students, they are also dissuaded by their sisters at home.

On the first day of school for the girls, Lianzhou quickly made new friends.

Song Ran is weak, but his literary talent is excellent.Lian Zhou is absolutely beyond the reach of Lian Zhou, who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

The two happened to be roommates, and it was a pleasant thing to have an understanding roommate in a dormitory for two.

A total of 190 students were enrolled in the Women's College, and the 24-year-old Shen Duan became a well-deserved president of the Women's College with his talent. The strict 23 rules were handed out to each student, causing an uproar.

"What? There is a routine test every month, and the last one is very likely to face the danger of dropping out of school?"

"I have to compete with the men in the North Academy for the Four Books and Six Arts exams every six months? This is so unfair!"

Standing on a high place, Shen Duan looked coldly at the delicate girls raised in the rich nest, and sneered: "It's not fair? Are you born to think that you can't compare with men? Absurd! There is no limit to learning, if you don't advance, you will retreat. People lack the heart to compete for talent and learning, why not go home and get married now, and read some sage books? Dirty this sage land!"

Her tone was stern, she was young, and she had a lot of momentum.

Is the daughter raised by the great Confucianist Shen Yu an ordinary person?

At this point, the women present did not realize at the moment how vigorous and resolute their dean was.

If the rules of the school are promulgated, if you go ahead, you will advance; , reputation has been flawed, not to mention marrying a good family, and returning home will inevitably be reprimanded by parents.

Even if you can't bear it, you have to last for a month for the sake of face.

It took Lianzhou less than half an hour to memorize the 23 rules of the school. She didn't think the rules were too strict, and there was nothing wrong with them. She came to the Women's Court to study, not to play.

The sky was dark and the sky was sinking, a small number of people stayed in the dormitories, and more people had horse carriages to pick them up at home.

Anyway, bearing the title of "Madame Day", Lianzhou has endured too many scrutiny full of meanings, good and bad, this day.

Especially for those daughters of aristocratic families who know the inside story, when they think of being sent to the women's courtyard in a daze and have no way to resist, it is nothing more than the father of the family giving face to the head of the Zhou family-the head of the family, what does Zhou Jing want to do, even if he doesn't say anything, she If you do it, there will be others who will follow suit.

what is this?Accompany "Prince" to study?

There are not a few people who are jealous and jealous, and there are many people who are looking forward to Lianzhou and Dayjing's reconciliation.

Lianzhou is unwilling to spend time and energy on these useless places.

Coming out of the school, she said goodbye to Song Ran with a smile. The Song family's carriage gradually drove out of her sight, a gust of wind blew by, and the sky gradually began to rain.

Recently, it has been rumored that there is a rift in the relationship between Patriarch Zhou and his wife, and it may not be without reason. After all, Madam Zhou and Patriarch came back from Jiangnan one after the other. In the eyes of caring people, it can already explain many things.

No, it's raining outside, and the woman who is the wife of the aristocratic family is standing alone on the steps with her backpack in her arms. It's really refreshing to see.

There is no shortage of people gloating.

Lian Zhou pouted secretly, she thought to herself, these people are really boring.Ah Jing reconciled with her, could it be possible that the next one can marry any of them?

Shen Duan looked at the girl from a distance, stepped forward two steps intentionally, raised his footsteps lightly, and saw a bright smile on the beautiful girl's face the next moment.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy, and Zhou Jing lifted the curtain and waved to her with a smile: "Zhou Zhou, come quickly."

The Zijin flag fluttered in the wind and rain, and when he saw the flag slanted on the carriage, Shen Duan suddenly realized the identity of the girl.It is also the case that all the students admitted to the hospital are dressed as if they were not out of the court, but unexpectedly, it turns out that this innocent and beautiful girl is already a married woman.

She stopped and watched the carriage drift away.

Witnessing the affectionate and sweet scene of the young couple, the woman in the pear white dress stomped viciously, looked at the people around her with an unfriendly expression, and asked the teacher: "Didn't you say that Zhou Jing was tired of her? Why did you come to pick her up in person? "

In the carriage, Lian Zhou happily told what he had seen and heard today, and Zhou Jing casually lay down on the couch, peeling a lychee with his fingertips, wrapped it in a clean brocade handkerchief and handed it over.

"eat……"

Lianzhou accepted it embarrassedly: "You, you eat too."

"I watch you eat."

The girl's face was reddish, and she took a small bite, the fresh juice splashed on her lips and teeth, making her dizzy.Zhou Jing was excited to see it, and raised his hand to peel off another one.

The lychee pulp in the mouth is not delicious on the surface, but the core seems to be wrapped in bright fireworks. It is not burning, but it is hard to ignore.

Lian Zhou spit out the oval fruit pit gracefully, not daring to look at Ri Jing's face.

She was tangled and depressed, when would Ah Jing give up playing this ambiguous chasing game with her?

"Hey..." Zhou Jing looked at her with a smile: "Reciprocity is a gift."

Fuck your reciprocity, it's not that she wants to eat lychees!

The good-tempered girl pursed her lips, picked up the lychees piled on the fruit plate, and peeled off the rough outer skin with her tender white fingers, revealing the crystal clear flesh.

"Is it sweet?"

Lianzhou thought about the fresh fruit he had tasted before, "It's sweet and delicious, very delicious."

With her words, Zhou Jing lost half of his face.

When it was time to get off the carriage, Lian Zhou was still wiping her fingertips with a handkerchief, always feeling that Ah Jing was torturing her on purpose.

There is plenty of rain in summer, and the hair is more or less wet with rain. The owner of the most beautiful family in Kyushu lifts the curtain from the bath, and the girl is holding a book and reading with gusto.

"Zhouzhou? Are you tired from reading?"

"I'm not tired..." She didn't even lift her head, she was obsessed with the sea of ​​books, and she was not interested in beauty.

"Did someone bully you in the school?"

Lianzhou's gaze paused, but she still didn't dare to look up, lest she should see something she shouldn't, and be distracted again by the world's top beauty.She said softly: "No matter how I say it, I am still the "wife of the aristocratic family", for your sake, who would dare to bully me? "

No matter how difficult the content in the book is to read, the person in front of him made it clear that he wanted to chat with her, Lianzhou put down the book, and to reassure her, said in a relaxed tone: "Besides, there is Dean Shen in the women's courtyard, no one dares to mess around."

Dean Shen?

Gee!

The author has something to say: Ah Jing: Remember, I sent you to study, not to let you...
