The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1711
[Chapter 1711 Jujube Fanwai (18)]
Time passed by like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, it was the spring of the second year in March.
Qi Hao’s Enthronement Ceremony On March 16th, Zao Zao was about to leave for Beijing to attend the departure ceremony.
After Changsheng found out, he had to follow him in a riotous manner: “Mother, I want to go to Beijing to visit my grandparents and my uncle.”
Zaozao didn’t stop Changsheng from going, but said, “It doesn’t matter if you want to go to the capital, but this time you can’t come back with me, you have to stay in the capital.”
Hearing this, Changsheng was reluctant: “Mother, when will you come back?” Although the capital was fun, he didn’t want to stay in the capital alone.
“After attending your uncle’s enthronement ceremony, I will come back.” Guizhou has only the governor and the chief soldier. The governor is in charge of government affairs, and the general is in charge of military affairs. During the time she was away, military affairs had to be handed over to the deputy commander-in-chief. When I came back, I was afraid that I would be too busy again. But Qi Hao’s ascension to the throne is a big event, and it’s only once in her life, so she can’t miss it.
When Changsheng heard this, he no longer bothered to go to the capital. .
Zaozao was worried that the children of Changsheng would be too skinny, so he deliberately left Yin Zhaofeng behind. Although Yin Zhaofeng is five big and three rough, he is the most careful. With him protecting Wu Jinyu and his three children, Zaozao is also relieved.
It took ten days for Zaozao to arrive in the capital. She didn’t go back to the princess’ mansion, she went directly to the palace.
Qihao’s enthronement ceremony was full of things, so Oakxi didn’t go out during this time, and was in charge of Qihao’s enthronement ceremony.
Seeing Zao Zao, Yu Xi said with relief, “I have grown.” Zao Zao was exposed as a forward light, but now it is like a sword in a scabbard, with its edge restrained. It was better to train people locally than to stay in the army, and that was Oak-hee’s purpose.
Zaozao hugged Yuxi and said with a smile: “Mother, I haven’t seen you for three years, and you still look like you haven’t gotten old at all.” Her mother is forty-two years old, but she looks younger than her.
“People who are all grandmothers are not old yet.” After speaking, Yuxi sat down and asked, “Tell me how you felt in Guizhou for the past three years?”
“What I felt the most was that some Yi women had a higher status than men.” She was really shocked at that time. In the Central Plains, women are regarded as vassals by men, and people like her are out of the ordinary. But in some tribes of the Yi people, men have to obey women.
Zaozao didn’t pause, and continued: “Just like a Miao girl can live in her parents’ house for a few years after she gets married. Only during the New Years, festivals or busy farming season, the girl will go back to her husband’s house. The Miao people call this sitting at home. If you have a child, you usually don’t sit at home.” In the Central Plains, the water splashed by the married daughter. After getting married, she went home and became a guest. Moreover, when returning to her parents’ home, she had to ask her parents-in-law and husband for instructions, and they could only return to her parents’ home with their consent. No matter what, I can’t go back to my mother’s house.
Yuxi knew that Miao women had a higher status, but she did not know this custom. It is good to have such a custom, so that women can be less rubbed.
“Not only that, if the man treats the girl badly, the girl can also go home with her. The girl’s family welcomes her back.” If a woman was with her in the Central Plains, she would have to be criticized for ten or eight years. It will even affect the next generation’s family. In order not to be the target of ridicule and ridicule, even if they knew that their girls were being abused, these parents would not allow their children to divorce. Even if they are reconciled, most of them are not allowed to go back to their parents’ home.
Seeing Yuxi just nodding and not speaking, Zao Zao was a little anxious: “Mother, if we want the women in the Central Plains to be like the women of the Miao ethnic group, then many women will not have to be abused and mutilated by their husbands’ families.”
Yuxi felt that Zaozao was too naive, and said: “The superiority of men and women in the Central Plains has lasted for thousands of years, and it is something that is engraved in the bones of many people. It is not an overnight thing to want to change.” Yuxi runs a school to encourage women to learn a skill. Change the status quo and gradually improve the status of women. I don’t expect equality between men and women, I just want to give choices to those women who are brave enough to fight for it. As for those who are content with the status quo and would rather be abused than change or appoint, there is nothing she can do.
Zaozao said without thinking: “Mother, if you can make women enter the officialdom, the status of women will definitely be greatly improved.”
Oak Xi shook his head and said, “If you go out like this, the women’s school will not go on.” The slogan she used to run a women’s school was to let women be sensible. Therefore, it was only resisted by some stubborn and pedantic elements who advocated that women’s incompetence is virtue. But if it is said that women can study for the imperial examination and enter office, it will be resisted by all scholars.
After speaking, Yu Xi said with a light smile: “Zaozao, you need to eat one bite at a time, and things need to be done step by step. If you want to reach the sky one step at a time, in the end, you will not only break your head, but also fail to achieve anything.” Over the years, Yu Xi has also done a lot of things. For example, in the past, most women married when they reached the age of 17. Oak-hee revised the law to stipulate that women must be married at the age of seventeen. In addition, in the past, if a woman established a female household, she must have an estate and the tax would be doubled. This provision has been revised. Now, a female household does not need an estate and does not have to pay extra taxes. In addition, in the past, when a woman was divorced, the man did not have to return the dowry, but now the law has been revised so that even if a woman is divorced, the dowry must be returned.
Oak-hee changed slowly, bit by bit, not overnight. Although the method of boiling frogs in warm water is slower, the resistance is much less.
Zaozao thought for a while and said, “Mother, I also want to run a school in Lincheng. It’s just that I have no experience and no staff. Mother, I want to borrow some staff from you.”
Yuxi smiled and said, “Once I have selected the candidates, I will let them go to Guizhou.” The school has opened up many times, and this woman is sensible in reading, which has been influenced from generation to generation, and can always change the status of women’s inferiority.
Zaozao remembered some of the news she had heard and asked, “Mother, the problem in Fujian should also be solved. If this continues, the people of Fujian will only know that the Qiu family does not know the imperial court.”
“This matter, Qihao will solve this year.” Qihao thought the same as Oakxi, and wanted to solve the problem in Fujian peacefully.
Zaozao immediately understood: “Qihao wants to use Qiu’s family to establish his prestige?” The new official took office as three fires, and it was the same as the emperor who had just ascended the throne. After solving the case of Fujian, Qi Hao’s throne is also secure.
Oak-hee nodded.
Zaozao couldn’t help laughing and said, “This kid can bear it.” In order to give himself power, he endured it for three years.
Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Zaozao hurriedly said, “Mother, I know that after Qihao ascends the throne, he will be the king and I will be the minister. I will never be as open-mouthed as I am now.”
Seeing Zaozao’s serious appearance, Yuxi smiled and said, “In front of outsiders, you must be respectful and obedient, and in private, you can get along as before.”
Zaozao hesitated: “Is this okay?”
“You have to be respectful to him in private, but it will affect the relationship between sister and brother.” After speaking, Zao Zao said earnestly; “Zao Zao, you don’t have to tell me and your father about your official business in the future, but to Qi Zao. Hao cannot hide anything.”
Zaozao didn’t even think about the meaning of those words, anyway, she knew that Yuxi wouldn’t hurt her: “I know mother.”
According to historical records, in the eleventh year of Zhiyuan, Emperor Zhiyuan took the throne of Zen. Prince Yun Qihao succeeded to the throne, and in May of the same year, the title was changed to Xuande.
Zaozao, as the second-rank general soldier, participated in the Qihao enthronement ceremony throughout the whole process.
Liu’er looked at the python robe embroidered with the five-clawed golden dragon on Zao Zao’s body, and said with a smile: “Eldest sister, you are going to walk around the street, what about the four great talents?” The girls were so dazed that they couldn’t tell the difference between east, west, north and west.
“What kind of talent is just a fancy embroidered pillow.” The reason why he would say this is that the number one among the four great talents is Brother Xuan.
After hearing this, Liu Er immediately said: “Eldest sister, what you said is biased. The four great talents are not the ones who are not good enough. If nothing else, Ah Xuan is worthy of the name.”
Zaozao snorted after hearing this: “People in their twenties, they live in Baitan Academy every day without taking errands, and they live up to their name.”
“A Xuan has published a book.” Seeing Zaozao’s puzzled look, Liu’er explained, “Mother doesn’t allow him to publish a book under his real name, so few people know about it.”
Zazao disliked and killed Brother Xuan since Lu Xiaoxiao’s incident: “In all likelihood, the books he wrote are the things that make trouble.”
Liu’er shook her head and said, “Then you underestimate Brother Xuan. I’ve read that book, and it’s very well written. However, because of the pseudonym used, it’s not well-known, and very few people buy it.”
This book written by Brother Xuan is really good, and there are many places to praise. But Yuxi wanted to prevent Brother Xuan from being highly sought after, so he asked him to use a pseudonym instead of his real name.
Zazao knew that Liu Er would not make up these words to comfort her: “If he can really do his studies in a down-to-earth way, that’s a good thing.”
After talking about this, Liu’er asked Zaozao: “Why didn’t you bring Changsheng this time?”
“He wanted to come, but I didn’t let him.”
Thinking of what happened last time, Liu Er couldn’t help laughing: “This kid was only six years old and he was thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law. He told Qi Hao that he wanted to marry Sister Shu.” Xi’s words come first, and they all have scruples. At least Liu’er doesn’t want to marry her siblings anymore.
Zaozao twitched his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Why didn’t you write to me about this?” Changsheng said it nicely, and didn’t reveal a word about the embarrassing or bad things he did.
“I didn’t know Brother You didn’t tell you.” After speaking, Liu’er smiled: “But yes, Changsheng is the little lucky star of their husband and wife, how can I tell you this.”
Zao Zao smiled and said, “I was worried about this before I mentioned it. Fortunately, my fourth sibling is finally pregnant, and I am also relieved.”
“Who said it wasn’t! I even searched for a few recipes for Si Ling, but unfortunately they were of no use.” After speaking, Liu Er chuckled: “After my younger brother and sister got pregnant, many people asked her for a recipe. It is said that Changsheng brought her good luck, and some people even sigh!” As Changsheng’s identity, most people would not dare to bring him home and live for a while.
Zao Zao smiled, but it was just a coincidence, it was really a golden boy for longevity!
