20. What is the way of concubines
Before Gao Yue could answer the other people, he saw Master Xue Cang's long eyebrows under the peach tree and signaled to him:
Following the refiner's eyes, Gao Yue saw Lingxu sitting on the stone pier with a smile, leaning against the sword, leaning against the tree trunk!
A strong desire to survive immediately surged, Gao Yue immediately looked straight ahead and bowed to the princess.
It seems that Lingxu and Yiyang have really been liberated. The Wu'an Jun Temple in Xianyang is also good, the Lingxu Temple and the Zhide Girl's Crown in Chang'an, and the private house in Yiyang are afraid that they will be places for them to show their political presence in the future. The missions of the court must stop here and meet and negotiate with Lingxu.
"Please ask Gao Lang to write a letter and send it to Fengxiang and Xingyuan Mansion. Don't ask for post stations along the way to supply the missions to Shu. " Lingxu did not avoid suspicion at all. In front of Zheng Feng, whose face changed, he called Gao Yue "Gaolang".
Gao Yue wanted to get angry, but was afraid of not causing trouble, so he suppressed himself and turned around and smiled at Zheng Feng, Xue Yun and others assured: "Yue immediately wrote a letter, in addition to asking the military government to supply the needs, he would also give it to Zheng Langzhong and Xue Sichengcheng, and informed Wei Chengwu of Xichuan, and would also give you all the friendly care after you arrive in Shu."
The officials of the delegation all expressed their gratitude to Gao Yue.
Lingxu smiled and said, "The 13th year of Dali is here, and the second place is here (Zheng Xi hates others to mention this most, but he can only endure it). The Master Xue Lian, the female master of Zhide, is also proficient in poetry and essays, which is very good. The sisters of the Song family have not yet entered the palace. If Xian decided to re-enter three years later, let Zhaoyi Army enter the Zuoyuan to purchase a house in the capital and let her live - try their poetry and essays first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yaoying smiled and clapped her hands, and then Yuan Ningzhen picked up the prepared pens and ink and other utensils and placed them in front of the three sisters of the Song family in turn.
"I want to have a share in the little girl's crown, too." Xue Tao whispered.
Song Ruoxian, the youngest among the Song sisters, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Ruoxian, Yan doesn't lift his lips." The eldest sister Ruohua sat upright and taught a cold lesson.
Ruoxian stopped talking immediately, as it seemed that she was afraid of her eldest sister.
Yuan Ning has always been silly, and he really gave Xue Tao some stationery and paper.
Xue Tao raised his eyes upwards, waved his eyes, and then put the paper that had written the poems and essays into his sleeves.
The three sisters Ruohua, RuoShao and Ruoxian thought for a long time before completing the poem, and then collected it by Yuan Ningzhen and handed it over to Gao Yue and Zheng Zhi.
After looking at it for a while, Zheng Zhi looked, which was always dead, and he said, "It's very skillful."
For him, this was the highest praise given to the Song sisters.
Then Gao Yue looked at it. He felt that the poems of the Song sisters were indeed neat and elegant, but the content was not very good. They were all praising the literary and military achievements of the sage masters today (and it was hard to make) to put it bluntly - Song Ruohua's poems read like pine and cypress, Song Ruozhao's poems read like bamboo poles, while Ruoxian had a true nature, but was also influenced by the eldest sister, and there was a "exquisite" intentionally made in the writing.
"The level is just as good as Yunshao and Yunhe in my family. However, it is better than me." Gao Yue thought secretly, then laughed and congratulated the two princesses of Lingxu and Yiyang, saying that there will be three sisters of the Song family in the harem to be "female bachelors" and it is my luck in Tang.
Before Lingxu could say anything, Yiyang laughed and hurt Gao Yue in public: "You said you were a sensation, but over the years I have been busy managing the towns and towns. I used to rely on long-form legends in the capital to make you famous, so I didn't see you having a famous poem."
"Yue is just a little talented in the military and officials. Wen Lin is famous and dare not expect it. It is a lucky thing to be the first to be a lie." Gao Yue was also very modest, and at the same time he fought with Yiyang.
Suddenly, Zheng Zhi seriously refuted the princess, "The Jinshi Chunxian Examination, apart from talent and learning, it also depends on opportunities. Gao Yisong is good at asking questions, parallel prose and fu, but the princess believes that Wenlin only has poetry and is not advisable."
Yiyang opened his mouth and looked at Zheng Zi, "..." It was so worthless that he had nothing to say.
"As the saying goes..." Zheng Zhi was going to make a long speech. Gao Yue frowned and said, "Okay, okay," interrupted him.
Lingxu said happily that since one is a Dayin and the other is a doctor, they all recognize the talent of your three sisters, and I have nothing to worry about. I wonder if the three have read Cao Jia’s "The Women's Commandments"?
The so-called Cao Master is Ban Zhao.
Song Ruohua replied seriously, but "Although my sister came from a poor family, she didn't want to be like Cao's. She said that the first priority of a woman is 'humble and weak', and she also asked her to 'tolerate humiliation and impurity'."
"Then what do you think a woman should do?" Lingxu was intrigued.
Ruohua is neither humble nor arrogant, saying, "Women should be honest first when they establish themselves. If they have the moral character, they should not be humble and weak. To their husbands and aunts, Cao everyone advocates that women should follow and be gentle, but our sisters advocate "respect and obedience". When their husbands or aunts make mistakes and do evil, women should make great suggestions as loyal ministers do to the king, and should not hide evil, nor help them."
"Well said it." Gao Yue was very impressed by Ruohua's last sentence.
"What do you think should be between a couple?"
"My sisters and I vow not to marry, but if the Lord asks me, I think that husband and wife should be together with the same joys and sufferings, and be together with the same blessings and poverty. If they are born, they will share the same quilt and die and be buried in the same cave."
Just as the two princesses were about to agree, Xue Tao suddenly said curiously, "How should the woman treat her husband if she is a concubine?"
"Xue Tao!" Xue Yun roared angrily and embarrassed.
Song Ruohua turned to Xue Tao, with no admiration or contempt on his face, but said loudly: "My father has been studying in the village and has never taken a concubine. I really can't answer, forgive me."
At this time, Gao Yue secretly admired the eldest sister of the Song family.
Although this kind of poor family has a "pretending" side, they are still very enterprising. When the Cao family, Ban Zhao, entered the palace to continue writing Han books, they were always trembling. They said that they had to mention their "foolishness" and "insensitive" first. They were full of humble and weak aura. However, the sisters of the Song family were different. They believed that as long as they abide by morality, there was nothing to be inferior to themselves. On the contrary, they were full of Confucian idealism in the whole world. In fact, the nobles did not follow morality. They were more proud of their bloodlines. In their eyes, the common people were hard to even be considered as human beings. The implementation of the same moral norms in the world is always the middle class, and this is true in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
At dusk, the princess arranged a cart and sent the three sisters from Wu'an Jun Temple to Lingao Post for accommodation. She set up a tea and wine banquet in the backyard to entertain Gao Yue, Zheng Zi and Xue Lian.
As the banquet just ended, Xue Yun looked embarrassed and ashamed, found Gao Yue in the east corridor, bowed to him, and then handed a folded piece of paper to Gao Yue, "Please check it out."
Isn’t this the paper that Xue Tao wrote before, hidden in his sleeve?
