Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Empress Su was stunned for a while.

After regaining her senses, she looked at Wen Jiao and said complicatedly: "Wen Jiao, do you know that you can say some amazing things since you were a child?"

"Ah?" Wen Jiao felt guilty for a moment, tried to calm down and asked with a smile: "Why do I feel that when I was young, I was always obedient and well-behaved, and I was always motivated and willing to work, and the nuns praised me all the time?"

"Yes, you were the most caring when you were young, so caring that I don't even know if the person next to me is a little girl or a nanny."

Recalling the events of her childhood, Empress Su couldn't help showing a nostalgic smile on her face: "Do you still remember that I wanted to learn how to ride a horse after I recovered, but I didn't dare to learn it, for fear that it would be ugly if I bumped into scars?" , what did you say?"

"Don't tell me how many people in the family are taking care of me learning how to ride a horse, and if I fall, how many good doctors will my parents and brothers have to find to see me? Even if there are scars, so what? If I have one or two scars on my body, I’m not a good girl? Those border soldiers who have many scars on their bodies are still proud of it, but how come it’s not good when it comes to girls?”

"At that time, I didn't know why, but I thought what you said was reasonable, and I didn't feel afraid anymore. I went to learn how to ride a horse happily, and I didn't fall or knock, and I learned it smoothly."

Wen Jiao vaguely recalled that there seemed to be such a thing, and asked with a smile: "Does my sister now think that what I said was wrong?"

Empress Su shook her head and smiled: "Now I think you're right. It's just that the world is so stupid, thinking that a daughter's skin must be as white as snow, fine and fit, without a trace of blemish, to be a real beauty."

"Even the palace is currently drafting, and the rules of the general election are that there should be no scars or moles on the body of the show girl. The king of Chu is so thin, and the palace starves to death. The heavenly family has something good, and the subjects below naturally demand the same from their own daughters. "

Wen Jiao also laughed: "That's not true. Our Yu'er still has cocoons trained with knives and guns, but how can there be a girl of her age who is better than her?"

Empress Su gave a "tsk", and poked her forehead with her fingertips: "That's because you are my younger sister, and you have the confidence to raise a girl like this in Beijing. You are not afraid of people talking about it! If you change to someone with a lower family background, gossip will be inevitable." !"

Wen Jiao smiled for a while, and sighed: "Since my sister said that I always speak out loud, and I am always in front of my sister, then I will say a few more words. Don't blame me if my sister hears it."

"Just say what you want. Is there anything else you and I can't say?" Queen Su said, winking at Liandong, asking her to take all the maids out, and then close the palace door.

"For thousands of years, why do people in the world demand women to be chaste, quiet and virtuous? It's nothing more than the fact that men are used to being in power, and they are afraid that women will understand the truth after reading books. Then who will give birth to them and take care of their family business? What's more, if my wife also became an official in the previous court, and she also has the heart of concubines and concubines, how can it be possible?"

"Women who have gained power, are they still willing to delay their official career for two or three years by having a child? Are they willing to give birth to a child with the husband's surname? Marriage is nothing but a solution for women. If If you can stand upright in this world by yourself, why do you need to get married?"

"Empress Gaozu encouraged her only daughter to seek a husband, but a family must have a son-in-law after all. If every woman can live on her own, there is no need for a man..."

Empress Su opened her eyes wide, and it took a long time before she laughed, and sighed: "Fortunately, I knew the seriousness and let them go out. Otherwise, if your words spread, even I might not be able to save your life."

Wen Jiao put his hands on the kang table, lowered his eyes and sighed: "If it is possible, I also want to become an official, so that I can earn my own living, so I won't lose my father, brother, husband and son. No matter how good I am with him, His is also his own. It's not as good as Sister Han, who was made a duke based on her own ability, so she can feel at ease no matter what."

Empress Su's heart trembled unceasingly, she was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "It's just that Wei Guogong was born in the army. When we Dayan founded the country, there were cases of women serving in the army, and the emperor is the grandson of the emperor's grandmother, so even if this matter Even if there are people in the court who object, the emperor can justifiably announce the decree."

"But since the imperial examination, there has never been a woman who has been an official through the imperial examination. Before the imperial examination, from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the present, count how many women can have power in their hands? Even the harem is involved in politics, and it is also said to be a hen Si Chen. Anyone who really mentions this matter will be reviled by officials all over the world. Wen Jiao, you must not do such a stupid thing."

Empress Su looked at Wen Jiao and spoke extremely seriously.Wen Jiao put his hand on Empress Su's hand, and sighed with a smile: "Sister, I know the importance and proportion, and I won't do stupid things."

"It's just that I'm always unwilling. Let's not talk about me first. Look at my Yu'er, both civil and military. How many men of her age can stand shoulder to shoulder with her? It's a pity that she is a woman and was born in a peaceful and prosperous age." , so finding a good marriage and marrying a good man is almost the best way out for her."

"There is also our second princess... my sister's children, my sister knows better than me. If the second princess only enjoys glory, wealth, eating, drinking and having fun all her life, it is not easy for the second princess to be tortured. No matter how much the second princess has learned Where can I use my skills?"

Empress Su thought about the only daughter under her knees. Now the world is at peace, the north and south are all wiped out, only the East China Sea and the South China Sea are still not peaceful, but it is not a serious problem.

At that time, Yu Shuang was only 30 years old, and she had learned the art of generals and emperors in the palace. Could it be that she wanted to find a good son-in-law?

"No wonder the men in the previous dynasty said, don't tell women to study more."

Su Wenjun sneered: "After reading more books, you will know that there are many injustices in this world, and your mind will become dull. It is not easy to ask them to stay in the inner house safely, have children willingly, take care of housework, and compete with a bunch of concubines. .”

Wen Jiao lowered his head and said nothing, but held Su Wenjun's hand even tighter.

My sister is talking about the second princess, so why isn't she talking about herself?

His father was born in the number one scholar, and his two elder brothers are a scholar of the second class, and the other is a scholar, and his mother is also well-educated. The girl raised by such a family can do good writing, and can draw a bow and arrow. , but now he can only calculate the emperor's love and "sincerity" in this deep palace.

Su Wenjun also held Wen Jiao's hand tightly, looked into the distance and thought deeply, and finally said softly: "I just said that the female officials selected in the palace have no job after leaving the palace and getting married. It is really a pity that they are so talented."

"The current rules in the palace were set by the emperor's grandfather and emperor's grandmother. If it is because of this matter, female officials are not allowed to leave the palace, or they are simply cut off from the election, that is absolutely unacceptable. But if this rule is improved, It will not waste the talents of these female officials, but there is a lot to do."

Su Wenjun's eyes glowed, and he said slowly: "In the palace, we must ensure the purity of the blood of the emperor's heirs, and we must also take care of the husband's families of the female officials who are out of the palace. It is unlikely that married female officials will return to the palace for a while. Can work from outside the palace."

"The female officials in the six bureaus and one museum all have special skills. For example, the female officials in the department of medicine in the Shangshi Bureau can grant certificates to open medical clinics according to their official ranks after they leave the palace, and then encourage them in the palace, and issue some commendations. Save face, so that the female official's husband's family will be more willing."

"There are men and women in the world, but most of the medical clinics are men. There are many commoner women who are sick and can't afford to ask a doctor to see a doctor, which delays their illness in vain. The palace encourages female officials to open medical clinics. Calling them a waste of talent, and secondly, it can be considered that the palace is sympathetic to the people."

Wen Jiao clapped his hands and laughed, "Sure enough, my sister is the best! I complained a lot, but finally my sister came up with a good idea!"

"For another example, the female officials in the Literature Museum can also open the library to teach, educating the girls who want their daughters to read and write, but they can't afford to hire a female husband. Another example is the Secretary of the Shangbei Bureau, all of whom are full of flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables The Ministry of Households is busy increasing production year after year to feed more people, can these female officials contribute too?"

Su Wen patted her hand and said helplessly: "I think you have an idea in your heart, but it's just to get me to say it."

Wen Jiao just laughed: "When will my sister plan to raise this matter?"

Su Wenjun said: "There is no need to rush this matter, and there is no need to rush. This year the palace just released a batch of female officials, and it will take five years to wait for the next batch."

"And..." Su Wenjun lowered his voice, and whispered in Wen Jiao's ear, "The imperial doctor said that the emperor's illness will only last two years this year and next."

Wen Jiao was taken aback, and then thought about it, the emperor was already seventy-one years old, which is considered a long life, and he had suffered a stroke for more than three years. It is not easy to live to this day.

Su Wenjun continued: "Three years after the national mourning, just one year later, a group of female officials like Zhang Wanyan will leave the palace. At that time, it is only necessary to say that because the emperor is grateful for the emperor's grandfather and grandmother, he can't bear that the female officials can only be trapped in the inner house after leaving the palace, and he also feels sorry for the women. It’s not easy to see a doctor, so this kind of virtuous government will be over.”

Wen Jiao counted the days and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for the good news from my sister."

Su Wenjun smiled and said softly: "I've been like this for the rest of my life, it's better to watch other girls feel more at ease. Maybe in a few decades, our Yu Shuang and Yu'er will be able to serve as officials , that means I didn’t do these things in vain.”

Wen Jiao felt sour in his heart, and murmured: "Sister..."

Su Wenjun turned his head and smiled and said: "What? Let's not talk about this for now. The list was released yesterday, and I circled a few young unmarried candidates from it, thinking of picking them out to be Huiyun Huichun's county horse. Can you help me see? "

My sister didn't want to mention it anymore, and Wen Jiao didn't ask any more questions, so she smiled and said, "It really flies so fast in the blink of an eye. When we first entered the palace, Princess Huiyun and Princess Huichun were only seven or eight-year-old girls. Well, in the blink of an eye, I will be looking for the county horse."

Su Wenjun called someone in, brought her numbered brochure, and put it on the kang table to read with Wen Jiao.

Four or five people's names are circled on the top, and information such as family background, place of origin, and age are written on the back. They are all young candidates in their early [-]s or early [-]s. Regardless of their rankings, they are all on the test list.

Moreover, the family backgrounds of these candidates are not high-ranking officials and nobles, but they have been officials for generations, and their fathers and ancestors all held the positions of the fourth rank to the sixth rank, and they are all descendants.

Wen Jiao looked at it once, and just smiled: "I think they are all pretty good, and it is rare to be able to select these few people who are suitable to be county horses in one subject."

Su Wenjun said: "That's not true. When I selected Geng Xiao's son-in-law last year, I reluctantly picked out a few children from aristocratic families. It's not good to think about it later. These aristocratic families have been prosperous for seven or eighty years, so they haven't made any big mistakes. Son, there are many people in the side branches of the clan, but there are few people who are promising, and there are many things. And there are many people, like the old lady of the Jia family, who rely on their ancestors to be the heroes of the founding of the country, and they are proud of their past glory."

"You know the origins of these two children, Huiyun and Huichun. Although they are of the blood of the Tian family, their father's reputation is not good, which makes them tired. Rather than looking for them with a fake family, it's better to find this kind of real family. Some. There are few people in the family and there are few things to do. At least the small family will not look down on the Princess Tianjia, and it is easy to clean up if you want to clean it up, and the children are promising."

Wen Jiao looked at the list again, and said with a smile: "The conditions on paper are similar, so which one to choose depends on the wishes of the two princesses."

Su Wenjun nodded: "I will show this to the emperor tonight. Let the emperor pick it out during the palace examination first, to see how the speech and conversation are. If it is good, we have to see if there is any order in their family. Fiancee, ask Huiyun and Huichun at the end."

Wen Jiao asked: "If it's settled, should we rush to get married this year, or wait two years?"

Su Wenjun smiled and said: "Huiyun is 17 years old, Huichun is 16 years old, it's okay to wait another two years. But Geng Xiao's marriage has to be done. The Qin Tianjian picked a few good days to send them, and the emperor hasn't picked them out yet. It's just been a few months."

Thinking of Jia Baoyu, Wen Jiao smiled: "Princess Gengxiao's son-in-law, Jia Ji, is a good-natured person, and he is the best at being able to do little work in front of the sisters. Maybe Princess Gengxiao will get rid of her heart problems after a few years of marriage. gone."

Su Wenjun sighed: "I hope so."

"By the way, don't you have your birthday on the seventh day of April? Wait until that day, and I'll ask them to give you a lot of things to make a face for you. I'll give you more rewards on the day you move. It's also called Rongguo Mansion." Know the seriousness, don't carelessly talk nonsense in front of you."

"And you told me about Ningrong Street last time. It just so happened that the emperor sent someone to remove that sign today and replaced it with 'Chugong Street'. It is estimated that it has been replaced by now."
