Taoyao Order

Chu Ping was also surprised that Taoyao would be so serious about talking to him about this. He thought seriously for a moment and then said truthfully: "I don't know, I haven't thought about this issue, but when it comes to virtuous women, I vaguely remember I once read a book that recorded what a virtuous woman is, and I thought deeply about it."

Taoyao became interested and asked, "Oh? What does it say in the book?"

Chu Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll write it to the girl."

Tao Yao nodded and saw Chu Ping beckoning to a passing maid and telling her to go to her room to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The maid responded, and Chu Ping turned around and asked Taoyao: "What do you think of the word virtuous?"

Tao Yao asked, but she just walked slowly in the pavilion to the water: "I don't know either. Like the young master, I have never thought about this.

I have a free and easy nature, and I like to do everything spontaneously.Even if you dare to love and hate, you also advocate that Tao follows nature. If you like something, do it, and if you don’t like it, don’t do it.

Therefore, I have never thought about how to be a virtuous woman.Like what the old lady said just now, no one has ever told me or taught me.

Well... Etiquette and rules are naturally taught, as are literacy and learning. However, what the old lady said just now is different from these. No one has ever taught me those words as a serious matter.

So, I don’t know, I just think it’s very novel and interesting. "

Chu Ping said with a smile: "I think you are also very novel and interesting."

Tao Yao turned around to look at him and asked curiously: "Me? What's new and interesting about me?"

Chu Ping frowned and thought hard about how to explain clearly: "I don't know, but every time I meet you, I find it very interesting.

Maybe it’s because I can always talk to you about things that I seem to have never talked about with anyone else.

It's like, I can never imagine the situation in which I would talk to anyone about what a virtuous woman is.

However, at this time, in this place, in this situation, the girl and I are standing in this drinking room pavilion, but we feel that talking to this point is very natural and harmonious.So, it's interesting. "

Tao Yao's eyes flashed: "For now, I'll take this as your approval of me."

"Of course I approve." Chu Ping responded with a smile.

While the two were talking, a little maid came in and took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

But as soon as the servants were here, Taoyao became dignified and elegant again, and didn't say another word.

Chu Ping waved his hand and told the maid to go down. There was no need to wait here. He went forward to spread the rice paper and pressed it with a paperweight.

Tao Yao also naturally stepped forward, picked up the ink stick, took two spoons of water with a small spoon, held the inkstone, and helped him grind the ink with his bare hands.

Chu Ping felt warm in his heart, picked up the brush, and filled it with thick ink. Amidst the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Chu Ping was about to write on the pavilion with a meandering stream, but suddenly stopped.

Taoyao looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

There was some hesitation on Chu Pingping's face: "I suddenly felt that it was not appropriate for me to write it."

Tao Yao was puzzled: "Why is it inappropriate?"

Chu Ping pondered for a long time before wondering: "...I just saw it in a book, and when the girl asked this question, I wrote it down. It doesn't mean that I ask the girl to do this. Look at it, don't do it. angry."

Tao Yao couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "How can I get angry so easily? Besides, you haven't written yet, how can you conclude that I am not a virtuous woman?"

After hearing this, Chu Ping just laughed awkwardly: "Since the girl said so, I will just write it."

"Just write it and let me take a look." Taoyao responded casually.

On the fine rice paper, Chu Ping's straight and round words were written one by one.

Tao Yao became more and more certain that the note underneath the meal delivered by Tianxiang Tower that day was written by this person.Taoyao's heart, which had been wandering for many days, suddenly felt at ease. A faint smile appeared on her lips unconsciously, but she only watched Chu Ping slowly write these words:
Who can find a virtuous woman?Her value is far better than pearls.

Her husband's heart trusts in her, and she has no lack of gain;
Her life has been beneficial to her husband.

She looks for cashmere and flax, and is willing to work with her hands.

She is like a merchant ship that can constantly bring food from afar.

She would get up before dawn, distribute food to the people in her household, and distribute the work to her maidservants.

When she wanted a field, she bought it; with the profit she planted an orchard.

She girded her waist with power and made her arms strong.

She feels that her business is profitable and will bring her long-lasting happiness.

She holds the twisting rod and the spinning wheel in her hand.

She stretched out her hand to help the poor and stretched out her hand to help the needy.

She did not worry about her family because of the snow, because the whole family was dressed in scarlet.

She made herself embroidered blankets; her clothes were of satin and purple cloth.

Her husband sat with the local elders at the gate of the city and was known by everyone.

She made fine linen garments and sold them, and she sold belts to the merchants.

Ability and majesty are her clothes, and she smiles when she thinks about the future.

She opens her mouth with wisdom; her tongue is filled with kind instruction.

She observes housework and does not eat idle meals.

Her children stood up and called her blessed; her husband also praised her, saying: There are many virtuous women, but you are the only one who surpasses them all.

Looking at the words under Chu Ping's hand, the joking smile on Tao Yao's face gradually subsided.

She read the word word by word so seriously that when Chu Ping finished writing, she couldn't help but take away the paperweight, reached out and picked up the word, walked slowly to the edge of the pool, and looked at it again and again, feeling incredible.

Taoyao looked at it and nodded with a smile: "It's indeed very good."

Chu Pingyuan was still a little uneasy in his heart. Hearing what Taoyao said, he was also a little surprised: "I didn't expect that the girl would agree with this statement."

Tao Yao tilted her head to look at him: "Why can't I agree with this statement?"

Chu Ping looked at Taoyao carefully and said: "Although I don't know the girl very well, but judging from the girl's words and deeds, the girl understands the righteousness, has a dignified manner, knows etiquette and reason, and respects the teachings of Confucius and Mencius in her words and deeds. However, the girl should prefer Lao Zhuang in her heart, and I don’t like Confucius and Mencius.

Therefore, he is free-spirited and does not like reading or embroidery. Instead, he likes a free and easy life.

But the argument in this article is completely opposite to what the girl likes. I just thought the girl would not like it. "

When Taoyao listened to Chu Ping's talk about her, she felt that it was more relevant than what he had heard from his own internal organs. Her father followed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, so she had been taught everything about her words and deeds since she was a child.However, his father failed three times and was depressed throughout his life. He could only live in retirement, "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountains."

This was especially true in Taoyao's heart. She was a woman and could not take part in the imperial examination. The Confucian and Mencius teachings she had learned had no way out for her. She was extremely deviant in her heart and disliked these rules and regulations, but she had been brought up in this way since she was a child. As a result, these rules and principles have been engraved in the bones and blood, and it is difficult to change things.

However, it is strange to say that Taoyao really likes the words on Chu Ping's hand, and she likes it from the bottom of her heart, and even feels happy.
