Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Because things are about the same, Wen Jiao also wants the girls to relax.

It was Lu Rong who made an appointment with someone to go to see the house on the ninth day of December, and to take Lady Ge with him.Wen Jiao promised Daiyu and Qing'er that they could go out together that day.

But on the afternoon of the [-]th day of December, Zhuangtou of Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River finally rushed to Ganzhou with this year's prospects.

The people on Zhuangzi happened to arrive in the afternoon, and they brought dozens of carts of things into the warehouse for filing. This is not a job that can be done in half a day.

Daiyu felt a little regretful that she couldn't go out to play, but she just sighed twice in her heart, and then started to do these jobs with Wen Jiao again.

After dinner, the mother and daughter continued to work. Wen Jiao felt sorry for Daiyu, and said, "You haven't rested after all these days. Tomorrow, you can just go out with Qing'er and see anything interesting and delicious. , just bring me some."

Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "Let Qing'er take the delicious and fun ones. I will be with my mother, and I will be able to arrange the order tomorrow. When the day of Muxiu comes, my mother can also rest."

"Otherwise, I'm putting things back together. I have to treat guests on the eleventh day, and even the gods have to rest. What can I do if I'm exhausted?"

Wen Jiao then asked: "You and Zuo Rong'er are going out these few days, why don't I go and tell your Aunt Ge, how about you go out with them on the tenth day of the lunar new year?"

Daiyu blushed slightly, thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "When Dad gets busy, he won't see him day and night. It's so easy to take a bath once every ten days. I'll spend more time with my parents and younger brothers."

The child was so considerate of her, Wen Jiao could only smile and said, "It's okay, if you're not here, I really need to spend a lot of trouble."

"After the two days of busy work, there are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year. Then you can play whatever you want, and play however you want!"

After drawing a big cake that Daiyu could eat, Wen Jiao imagined a leisurely life after all the work was done, drew a big cake for himself, and worked with Daiyu and the girls Come back to Linhai.

The husband and wife sat together for a day, and when they met, they didn't talk sweetly for fun, but went to the porch to fight a set of punches together.

After feeling comfortable all over, Wen Jiao had the energy to talk to Lin Hai about what happened today.

Wen Jiao also specifically emphasized that Daiyu Muxiu would stay with them at home and not go out to play with Lu Rong and Lu Qing.

After she finished speaking, she laughed again: "I think there is no child in this world who is better than our Yu'er."

Lin Hai coughed lightly, and said, "There are people out there, we'd better be modest and cautious."

Then Wen Jiao found that the corner of Lin Hai's mouth was raised until the two of them went to bed.

On December [-], Wen Jiao invited the family members of officials of the fourth rank and above from Ganzhou to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet. The banquet took place in the small garden of the Governor's Mansion.

Although this small garden is not big, there are several views to enjoy in it.

The snow has not yet melted, and the snow is piled on the branches and grass. The small lake in the garden has long been covered with a thick layer of ice. The ice is covered with snow, and it is white.

A total of four tables were opened in the garden, Wen Jiao was the head of the family, and he was also the person with the highest order among the female family members, so the first table was naturally headed by Wen Jiao.

At Wen Jiao's table were Ji, the wife of Congzheng's family, the admiral of Gansu, and Ding, the wife of Yugan, the governor of Gansu.

At the next table are Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Yuan Hesong, Mrs. Yuan Hesong, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Wenbin, Mrs. Quan Wenbin, Mrs. Junliang Daoquan, and Mrs. Tian Mrs. Cheshu, Mrs. Junhu Dao. patent.

Gansu Xuezheng Qiuxue's wife went there last winter, and her son and daughter-in-law were all in mourning, so no one from his family came.

The third table is Guan Hedao, Du Liangdao, and Tea Horse Taoist, three fourth-grade respectful people and Mrs. Ge.Yan Fadao Lei Qisheng's wife, He Shi, was ill, and no one came from home.

The fourth table is Daiyu, Lu Qingyinglian, three girls, Cong Zhuoyi, the youngest daughter of the admiral, and Quan Yanxiu, the youngest daughter of Quan Wenbin, a military ration Taoist. There are five girls in total.

Because these political envoys are also bearded people, almost all of them are over 40 years old, and their first wives are not much different in age from them.

Therefore, the children born in these officials' families are basically over 20 years old, and most of them get married and start businesses.

Parents went to the Northwest to take office. They either had been appointed officials in high school, or studied hard at home, or were filial to their grandparents, but they basically didn't follow.

Only the admiral and Daoist Quan brought the youngest daughter from the family with them, and the second son of the governor, Yu Ying, was the county magistrate in the next county. The eldest son of Yu Ying, Yu Guangyuan, was six years old, and the second son, Yu Guangzhuo This year is three years old, and they are all raised and taught under the governor's knee.

All the ladies at the banquet were wives, and they were guests at the governor's mansion, so even if there were any minor conflicts in private, they would not be ridiculed at this time, they were all kind.

Talking and laughing, Madam Ge blended into these ladies.

Lu Rong is now the fourth rank, and if Mrs. Ge's conferment comes down, she should also be a respectful fourth rank, the same rank as Mrs. Guan Hedao who is at the same table with her.

What's more, Lu Rong is the fourth rank at such a young age, and he knows that he has a bright future.In Wen Jiao's words, he was very affectionate with Mrs. Ge, and Lu Qing was still Wen Jiao's goddaughter.Lady Ge is also the senior sister of the first daughter of General Han.

Ge Niangzi can stand on her own, and her relationship is strong. With these multiple relationships, even if she is a little more casual in her actions, no one dares to look down on her.

Moreover, she has a wide range of knowledge, strong martial arts skills, and a cheerful personality. She can attract people with a few words after she relaxes, so she has a good conversation with the three respectful people at the same table.

Seeing her like this, Wen Jiao smiled reassuringly, and then looked at Yu'er's table from a distance. The five little girls were also talking and laughing happily, so they concentrated on discussing the education of their sons and grandchildren with Governor Yu's wife Ding.

Governor Yu has reached the second rank, so he naturally knows the importance of children's education. His family also teaches reading and calligraphy when the children are one or two years old.

The eldest grandson of the Ding family, Yu Guangyuan, invited a husband two years ago, and the second grandson, Yu Guangzhuo, will go to study next year.

It happened that Qingyu was three years old after New Year's Eve, and Xu Sui was four years old, about the same age as Ding's two grandchildren.

Wen Jiao heard Ding say that the gentleman invited by the Yu family was a Jinshi. Although he was only a top three, he also felt that it was rare.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the three places with the highest level of education were Beijing, Zhongshan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong.

Kyoto is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich and prosperous, and Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, so there are naturally talented people.

Every session of the palace examination, if it weren't for the court and the central government to take more scholars from other places for the balance of power in various places, it is estimated that the two to three hundred places for Jinshi will be covered by the candidates from these three places.

However, the northwest is sparsely populated, so naturally there are not many Jinshi candidates.Lin Hai can easily find second-class Jinshi in Yangzhou and Beijing to teach his children, but it takes more effort here.

To put it bluntly, there are a few Jinshi here in three years. Naturally, they are diligent and cautious to strive for the top. There are even few who lose their official positions. How can it be so easy to invite your family to be a husband?

Mr. Yu's surname is Dong, and he is 52 years old. He has been unhappy in his official career all his life, and has been a county magistrate and magistrate in various places.Just because of my poor health, I retired early to take care of myself.

It happened that Governor Yu's family wanted to invite a husband. Although his family didn't want to be an official anymore, his sons and grandsons also had to study. teach at home.

Mrs. Ding was naturally more euphemistic than the above, Wen Jiao recovered from his heart, and said with a smile: "It is really rare for your family to find such a good gentleman. I thought that my family Qingyu should go to school, I don't know if it is convenient for him Is it convenient to teach another student?"

Mrs. Ding knew the meaning of Wen Jiao's words immediately, and said with a smile: "Sir, it's easy to talk about, Madam doesn't mind, when it's convenient, just send the child here, one more classmate, and let my two boys know how good they are."

Hearing this, Wen Jiao said modestly: "Qingyu is not yet three years old, and he doesn't know all the words. There is no such thing as being great or not. As long as he reads some books and understands the truth, I will be satisfied."

At this time, the admiral's wife Cong asked, "Why don't you see my wife's brother today?"

Wen Jiao replied that he was taking classes with the husbands of his sisters, which triggered a discussion among the wives about educating their daughters.

Because the founding queen established the system of selecting female officials, more and more people in Dayan have begun to pay attention to women's cultural education in the past few decades.

The daughter of a scholar can enter the palace and stand for female officials.If he chooses to serve in the palace for ten years, he will greatly improve not only his talents, learning and achievements, but his official rank, which is equal to that of an official in court.

Moreover, after a female official of the fifth rank leaves the palace, no matter what her background is, her advantage in marriage is almost comparable to that of the daughter of the Duke Shangshu's servant.

Even the female officials of the sixth or seventh rank or the first rank have the label of "recognized by the palace" on their bodies. Even if they are a little older, there are still many people who propose to marry them.

Female officials are selected once every five years, and released once every five years. Seeing that all the female officials who leave the palace have good backgrounds, can relatives, friends and fellow villagers be envious?

Even for families who don't want their daughters to run for election, some will let their daughters read a few more books so that they can read.

Daughters of important court officials or princes are naturally not required to run for election, but everyone in the world has a heart for comparison. It is seen that the girls who are not as good as their own family are all literary and talented. , and don't want to be compared.

Some families directly let the girls and brothers take classes with their husbands, and some families invite female husbands to teach at home.

If Lin Haiwenjiao hadn't brought nephews and grandchildren of three clans with him when he returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, and Yinglian and Lu Qing were women from another family, it was inconvenient to attend classes together, the Lin family should also have men and women attend classes together.

The two girls who came today, Zhuo Yi, the youngest daughter of the admiral, was 13 years old, and Quan Yanxiu, the youngest daughter of Quan Wenbin, a military officer, was 15 years old. Very easy to talk to.

The admiral's wife Congshi sighed as she spoke, "It's better to raise a girl with courage, like a sick cat, won't she be bullied for nothing when she goes out?"

Wen Jiao very much agrees with this sentence.

There are many restrictions on women in this world, and the three obediences and four virtues are several shackles on women.If they teach their daughters, they all teach them to be "gentle and virtuous". When they are bullied, they don't know how to resist and only cry. Isn't it letting their daughters seek their own death?

She raised her glass and said with a smile: "Drink a big glass for Madam's words."

The author has something to say:

Lu Rong (counting with his fingers): Sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth... (then looking at the author sadly and angrily): I have brought my baby for four afternoons, why don't you let me see Miss Lin!
