Chapter 68: Rural imperial examinations (13)

When Duan Qingen was going to persuade a person, it was difficult for that person not to be persuaded by him.
For example, now several people have bought jewellery in Yincuilou, and they randomly found a tea house to sit down. Zhang Daoyuan was responsible for looking at the jewellery outdated and sad from time to time, and Duan Qingen said that it was not easy for women.
"Most of the women in the world are like this. They have been confined to their home since they were young. The door cannot be reached. The second door cannot be reached. They must be fathers before they marry. They must be husbands when they become monks. My family is a farmer's family. They are much more free than everyone. They can walk on the streets themselves, but they also have to work hard for their livelihood. They go to the ground in summer and do laundry in winter. They also have to serve in-laws and take care of my grandfather and grandmother. "
Duan Qingen almost pushed all the hard work to his future lady. It can be said that the desire to survive is very strong.
Liu Xinrong was interested in him before, and after being attracted by Zhang Daoyuan, he was immersed in the ups and downs of the love story between Zhang Daoyuan and the flower girl, and didn't think about other things.
When the three of them sat at the teahouse, she thought about herself and the general, and her eyes fell on Duan Qingen.
In all fairness, although Duan Qingen looks younger, his looks are indeed quite good, even stronger than Zhang Daoyuan.
And when Liu Xinrong secretly raised some thoughts that shouldn't be there, Duan Qingen told what he was going to do as his lady, and successfully dispelled her idea.
She went on listening.
The student in a blue shirt sighed, was compassionate, and sympathized, but the words spoken were almost at the foot of Liu Xinrong's feet, and the terminal was at her "good friend".
"It looks like this girl from Daoyuan has a hard life. I just looked at it and felt that it was hard for her. But in fact, who ’s the girl is not suffering, think about it. If I were a woman, I would be I feel bitter when locked up at home. "
"Yes."
This remark was about Liu Xinrong's embarrassment, and she said indignantly: "Why a woman is to be kept at home, a woman cannot be an official, and a woman must stay at the door and stay away!"
"Yes, why."
Duan Qingen smiled shyly; "Without concealing Goro, in fact, my future wish is to be able to propose to change the current situation of women after entering the DPRK as an official. I do not seek how respectful the status is, I only want to be not so despised."
He also said, "Goro thinks so, I think you are also a learned person. Why not join me? Let us work together for a free body for the women in the world."
Liu Xinrong shut up with excitement just now.
Although her heart is full of grievances, many women cannot read men's books, but in fact the girls of the Liu family can study, and the Liu family has a large collection of books. Generally, as long as they are children at home, whether they are boys or girls, they can go and read.
Liu Xinrong has this freedom, but she doesn't like studying.
She just wants to eat, drink, and play, where she wants to read a book.
Of course, she doesn't feel that while condemning "only men can enter the DPRK as officials", she is rightly thinking that "women do not have to read books", although entering the DPRK as an official must first study hard.
Duan Qingen also said, "I still feel that the status of women in the world is not good. The ultimate reason is that women are not allowed to make a living by themselves in this world. If one day, women can go shopping on the street. I can build a house and build a river course with my husband's company, and I can make money by myself. Naturally, I am full of confidence. What does Goro think of my idea? "
Liu Xinrong: "..."
She didn't want to talk.
What sounds bitter to build a house, build a river or sell something?
The status of a woman in her imagination should be no money, much loved, and she can go out and play when she wants to go out, and do not need to dress up as a man when she goes to the green house. It would be better if she could raise her head.
Unfortunately, only one princess has ever raised a head in all dynasties.
Liu Xinrong is not a princess. If you want to feel the happiness of a beautiful woman, you can only go to the blue house to find a girl.
She felt that if Duan Qingen had really made it, she would not only have to work hard to make money, but she would not be able to be supported by anybody. That would be too cruel.
But seeing Duan Qingen's expression of "this is what the women in the world want", he could only smile slyly, "If you want to achieve it, I am afraid it is a bit difficult."
"It's okay, if I can't do it in a year, I can take ten years, if I can't do it in ten years, it will take 50 years, and one day it will be."
Liu Xinrong still felt hanging.
But it ’s okay, anyway, how old she will be in fifty years, and she seems to be a grandmother. By that time, she will have a seniority, who can let her work.
In addition to the view that
when a woman is free, she wants to make money for herself
, she still appreciates Duan Qingen, especially Duan Qingen also respects her attitude and expresses the idea of ​​wanting to make friends with Liu Xinrong, which makes her heart Very contented.
Sure enough, she is so popular everywhere she goes.
Because he felt Duan Qingen was a good person, and he was talking about the women's affairs, Liu Xinrong asked Duan Qingen about his recent troubles:
"Brother Duan, you say, if there is a woman, her preferences are different from those of ordinary women, and she does not want to be bound at home. What kind of husband should she find?"
Duan Qingen pretends to be contemplative.
"You should find a husband who doesn't dislike her but also supports her. It is best that this husband has a high weight. Even if someone else has an opinion on this woman, because her husband's status is high, she will not What dare to say. "
He continued: "However, such a husband is difficult to find, it needs high weight, and it is not informal. It is best to know this woman again. Knowing her habits and hobbies is too difficult, awkward, too difficult. . "
Duan Qingen: "If such a man really appears, this woman should grasp it immediately." Crazy hint. .Jpg.
Liu Xinrong thought that Duan Qingen was very reasonable.
She thought deeply about her relationship with "good friends."
When she was sad, he took her to Qinglou to relax, and when she was happy, he took him to Qinglou to be happy.
When she was dissatisfied with Lang Lang, he settled everything.
Knowing her hobby personality, and willing to support her, who else besides him.
But at the same time, Liu Xinrong was very hesitant.
She asked hesitantly: "But if this man already has a woman?"
Duan Qingen took a small drink: "It depends on what this woman thinks."
Anyway, he would never take the initiative to ask Liu Xinrong to be a young child.
The lady in the right room did nothing wrong.
Duan Qingen did not propose, but Liu Xinrong kept thinking for himself.
She felt that she did not like the general and only had a friend relationship with him. If she married the general, she would not rob the general's lady.
In that case, marrying a general turned out to be a good choice.
The more Liu Xinrong thought about it, the more he thought of it, and his eyes stood up, anxious to fly to the general now.
She didn't care about exchanging feelings with the friends she had hearted with, and hurriedly arched her hand: "I suddenly remembered something was wrong, so I left first, and we will talk next time."
With that said, the mustache man walked out of this single room with a jump of joy.
Zhang Daoyuan watched her back silently and went away: "... She didn't give any money."
"She doesn't even have a money bag on her body. It seems that she never carries money when she goes out, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, the general has money in her hand and will help her pay."
Zhang Daoyuan still felt that this Miss Liu Xinrong could not say anything.
He didn't hold back his deep desire to vomit, and said to Duan Qingen, "One of my grandmother's and sister's sisters doesn't like women's things. She also likes to dress up in men's clothes on weekdays, but she is bold and not Aizo twisted her posture, and went out on weekdays, and said she would take care of us. Later, I heard that she married a general, and the two were very similar. I heard that she had beaten a bandit together, although she did not have the gentleness of a woman. But everyone loves her so much that she doesn't lose men. "
"But this willow core ... Miss Liu, those words she just said, clearly want to take advantage of being a woman, and want to be cheaper for a man, this is what it is."
"Shameless." Duan Qingen Shi Shiran took what Zhang Daoyuan didn't say.
Zhang Daoyuan: "Yes, shameless!"
"If she wants to be like a man, she should learn about the motivated sons. She has been studying hard for ten years, let alone going to the blue house. Even the party may not be available."
"Don't say those who are motivated, just say you and me, which is not to understand the hardship of the elders in the family, and dare not delay at the moment every day, and the Confucian Xiao, will almost live in the book, from small to large, we once She hasn't been to the Qinglou, she is good, she hugs her left and right, she still feels wronged. "
Duan Qingen just looked at Zhang Daoyuan, who had almost become a "mustache man", venting his passion.
"It's done. Now that she's said she will never marry you, you don't have to worry about it, it's your second brother, doesn't it mean that you are already discussing the marriage? You guessed, she will take the initiative to say two Don't even choose that general, or choose your second brother. "
"Naturally a general."
Zhang Daoyuan didn't hesitate at all: "Just before she looked like that, she seemed to be moved by what she said."
"I think she will tell the Liu family to choose your second brother." The student in the blue shirt was very determined to knock on the table: "Would you like to gamble?"
Zhang Daoyuan; "Don't bet!"
Duan Qingen: "Don't you really gamble? Don't you think your winning face is great? Try it."
"Don't bet!"
Zhang Daoyuan replied very quickly: "I didn't have a gamble with you, I didn't gamble anything this time."
In the past nine years, as a classmate and friend, he had made a few bets with Duan Qingen at a young age.
Every time, no matter how determined he is, he must win by himself, but in the end, always Duan Qingen wins.
Until now, every time Duan Qingen said bet, Zhang Daoyuan and Ma Ruxiao could directly determine the answer.
It ’s like a question with a student who has always scored a perfect score. In the first few times, the students will be very confident in their answers. After a few times, they find that no matter what is the right, they will learn to win. That's it.
Xueba: I choose A
Xue Zhu: I believe it is A
Xueba: I choose S
Xue Zhu: Although there is no S on the test paper, I believe it is S
Duan Qingen has such authority in Zhang Daoyuan and Ma Ruxiao.
"But why did she choose my second brother? Shouldn't she choose that general? After all, they are so good."
"Although the general has a high weight, the general was only closed because of the rebellion before, not to mention that the general's family already has a woman, or His Majesty's marriage, and the Zhou family's girl."
Duan Qingen explained: "Mr. Zhou is the second-ranking official and has a good relationship with Mr. Liu. You said, it's like us. If my future daughter is to marry, would you be willing to let your daughter go to be my daughter's husband?
"That must not be so awkward."
Zhang Daoyuan felt embarrassed when he thought about it: "Whether it is a niece or a niece, if we really do that, how will we get along in the future."
"Not really."
Duan Qingen said, "Even if there is no relationship between this layer and Mr. Zhou, Mr. Liu is a third-ranking official, and he has always been a bit of a reputation in the Korean Central. It was the general who came to propose his relatives, and he would certainly not agree, unless ... "
Zhang Daoyuan has been completely interested: "Unless?"
Duan Qingen: "Unless this Miss Liu told her clearly that she and the general had known each other for a long time.
"Well, this is also a way."
Zhang Daoyuan felt completely fine.
"But Miss Liu would not do this."
Duan Qingen affirmed: "If she did this, she would definitely be reprimanded by Master Liu. Only when I talked to her did I realize that she was the kind of person who wanted her to act, even if she wanted something. She is bound to obey the orders of her parents this time, she will choose your second brother between you and your second brother, and then let the general find a way to make her 'forced' to have to marry General. "
Zhang Daoyuan; "..."
He just slowed for a long time before reluctantly came over: "This is too disgusting ..."
"If you want to marry, you can say generously, that you want to marry someone, and at the same time you should accept the marriage, and finally you deliberately toss out various 'accidents' and force the other party to retire, which is simply, simply ..."
Duan Qingen reminded him: "It will be your second brother who is tossed out of the 'accident'."
Zhang Daoyuan: "Hmm ..."
"If it was my second brother, it would be great."
"No way, who makes him better than me."

Zhang Daoyuan is a in the end, he must go home when he returns to Beijing.
At the beginning, he was very repulsive, didn't want to go home, didn't want to face his father and stepmother, and that annoying second brother.
But after listening to Duan Qingen's analysis, Zhang Daoyuan suddenly felt a strong impulse to go home.
He couldn't wait for an airborne presence in front of his stepmother and brother, and then heard them share the unique good news of Miss Liu's engagement with his second brother.
So after drinking tea with Duan Qingen, he went home happily.
Master Liu is not here, um, this is normal, he has always been busy.
The stepmother was there, knowing that Zhang Daoyuan, who had grown up completely, came back. She was in a heart first, and then stood up, waiting for him to greet her.
Waiting for her sister-in-law to vaguely guess what the master of her service was, comforting: "Mrs. Mo Ji, even if the eldest son is back, this marriage is already settled, and the master nodded , If the grandfather is in trouble, he will be faceless. "
"Yes, grabbing a marriage with his brother, he also has to have that face."
Thinking about Zhang Daoyuan hitting her several times when she was at home, Mrs. Zhang showed a smile on her face: "When I heard that my brother returned to his hometown, he couldn't change his stinky temperament. I wonder if he was not as good as he used to be. Persuasion. "
嬷嬷 very cooperatively connected: "It would be bad if the eldest son is still the same as before. He used to be a child. He could barely say that the last sentence was irrational. Now the eldest son has passed twenty. If you are disrespectful to your elders at this age, there are still people who will go straight to see it. "
"Yeah." Mrs. Zhang's smile was deeper. "I just hope that the elder brother will not be as ignorant as before."
Noisy, noisy.
By that time, the entire capital knows that Zhang Daoyuan disrespects his elders, and sees how he still conducts scientific examinations and enters officialdom.
Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Zhang was not so exclusive about seeing this stepson, and she went out holding her hands.
I thought Zhang Daoyuan would still be the same as before. When I saw her, she was cold, but unexpectedly, the young man standing in the middle of the room raised a happy smile first, and saluted to Mrs. Zhang;
"Son please mother."
Mrs. Zhang: "???"
She paused for a second before barely maintaining the expression on her face. "Well, get up."
Until sitting on the main seat, Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Daoyuan's bright spring, and she had not looked back.
Every time she saw Zhang Daoyuan before, Zhang Daoyuan smelled a face at her, didn't the person she put beside the old lady also said that Zhang Daoyuan was still the same as before, hasn't her temperament changed at all?
Why this smile is the same as seeing a ghost.
Is it because of that marriage?
Thinking of marriage, Mrs. Zhang settled in her heart, a smile appeared on her face, and said to Zhang Daoyuan, "Dao Yuan, since you are back, your mother told you something, you listened, but don't feel in your heart Unfair. "
Zhang Daoyuan smiled even more brightly: "Mother, you say, I listen."
This cooperation really made Mrs. Zhang's move difficult.
She reluctantly calmed down: "That's it. The letter your father had sent you said that your marriage hadn't been settled. Now the marriage has been settled. Immediately, I can go to Liu's house for your second brother , You have to give your brother Daoxi a good deal. "
"So this is ah."
Zhang Daoyuan's expression of "I didn't know about it today", nodded earnestly: "Mother said, where is the second brother, I have to give him good wishes, congratulations on his marriage to a good wife."
Mrs. Zhang: "..."
She almost suspected that her ears had gone wrong. Is this still the one who lifted her chin higher than anyone, and could not stand a little grievous stepson?
"Well, far away, don't think that my father and I are biased. It's because you are so old. The Liu family is also a little worried about whether you have been unmarried for so long ..."
It would be strange if Zhang Daoyuan didn't get angry if he said this before he knew who Liu Xinrong was.
But now, after knowing that the second brother is willing to sacrifice himself, fulfill his elder brother, and take over a moustache lady, Zhang Daoyuan is full of tolerance for the second brother and his stepmother.
"I know."
The young man standing underneath widened and smiled, his face full of understanding of his stepmother and half-brother: "I have not been married for so long, and it is normal for the Liu family to taboo."
Mrs. Zhang: "... It's good if you understand. Although I don't think it's very good, after all, you are the eldest son. Before you decide, your brother decides, as if you are not favored at home."
"What others think of it is someone else's business. I know in my heart that my parents are very good to me. It is always good to treat me and my second brother as the same."
Zhang Daoyuan said with a smile, and saluted again to Mrs. Zhang: "Since the mother has already been called, the son retired first, and he will go to the second brother's yard to congratulate the second brother."
Mrs. Zhang looked at the step-sister with a grim expression and smiled back.
It took several seconds before she tilted her head to look at the uncle beside her; "Is this still Zhang Daoyuan?"
She had just exerted all her strength to run the run, and did not believe that Zhang Daoyuan could not hear it.
But he didn't mean to be angry, but accepted everything with a smile? ? ?
And Zhang Daoyuan who came out of Madam Zhang's yard also happened to meet the second brother who was going this way.
Zhang Daoyuan had a dark face when he saw this younger brother. After all, from childhood to old, because the younger brother was sullen, corrupt, and stigmatized, Zhang Daoyuan's memories of this family were left with pain, depression and grievance.
But now these emotions are gone.
His heart was overflowing with joy.
So he happily greeted his brother: "Second brother, it's been a long time."
Zhang Daoxing, like his mother, also put a question mark on his face when he met his elder brother.
Zhang Daoyuan didn't even look at his face, and continued to say happily, "I just heard my mother say that you are engaged, really congratulations."
Zhang Daoxing: "... Thank you, Brother."
Although Zhang Daoyuan suspected that he was showing favor to him, how could he really take this half-brother as his brother because of this saying good-will.
Seeing Zhang Daoyuan's face pleased, he couldn't help but say, "Thank you very much, too. My father also said that I want to assign this Miss Liu to my elder brother. Fortunately, my mother helped me to say this, which only made me The marriage was settled. "
Anyway, there is no one around here, Zhang Daoxing can show his true face without any prejudice.
He was thinking about saying something to stimulate him when Zhang Daoyuan was angry, and it was better to let this big brother punch him directly.
Then go to my father and tell him about his grievances.
After all, when Zhang Daoyuan was middle-aged because he was young, Zhang Zhang, who had always been indifferent to this eldest son, had raised the younger son several times, letting him learn from his brother Zhang Daoyuan.
Learn a fart.
He wished for Zhang Daoyuan to die directly in his hometown.
Fortunately, although Zhang Daoyuan only learned well, his temper was impatient and irritable, and he could not help getting angry at him every time he excited.
Zhang Daoxing thought pretty, but unfortunately, Zhang Daoyuan was not angry at all.
Instead of being angry, she nodded generously: "Yeah, it's normal for a mother to hurt her little son. Don't let your second brother down with your mother. Wait until Miss Liu enters the door, you must treat her well."
Zhang Daoxing: ... No, this is not the big brother I know.
He tentatively asked, "Isn't Big Brother angry?"
"Angry? Why should I be angry?"
Zhang Daoyuan calmly said, "I am the elder brother, letting you be what you should be, isn't this normal?"
Zhang Daoxing: "?????"
Zhang Daoyuan continued: "Mother loves you, and you have to give back to your mother. Study hard and study well. The elder brother hopes that you will be admitted to the court all the way, and then you will die for your mother and your mother.
Zhang Daoxing: "?????"
"Well, I won't delay you, please go to study with my mother. Think about Miss Liu coming in soon, but you have to go ahead."
Zhang Daoyuan finished speaking in a breath, with a tolerant, gentle smile on his face, as if the Father was born, and patted Zhang Daoxing's shoulders, who could not speak, for encouragement, and then left.
He has gone far.
Only Zhang Daoxing was standing in place, staring blankly at his back.
After a while, Zhang Daoxing reacted.
Brother, is this ... stimulated crazy? ? ?
