Taoyao Order

Chapter 72
Taoyao lowered her head to read carefully and said: "I like this article because I have been studying since I was a child. Women need to obey men and have four virtues. They must rely on men in everything, obey men, and become men's subordinates. They don't even need to study. They only seek to obey women. Talent is virtue.

What we often hear is that women are useless. Men make contributions and build careers, while women only need to take care of the house and clean the court.Even the term "benefiting husband and raising children", I only really understood the meaning from the old lady today.

My brother has been studying like me since he was a child, but he can get a good name and become an official in politics in the future, so his study is useful, but what is the use of my study?Many relatives around me, and even classmates who studied with me when I was young, told me that I am a woman, and it is useless to study well. I only need to find a good man to marry in the future, and this is the serious thing.

So, since it is useless, why should I waste my time studying hard?

Since I want to find a man to marry after all, what's the use of going to Zi Ling Pavilion to learn embroidery all day long when I'm stuck on tedious household chores?
I won’t even be an embroiderer, and I may not be able to open an embroidery workshop by myself. I just need to marry a good man and depend on him for the rest of my life.

The only benefit I can see from going to Zi Ling Pavilion is that I can break away from the rules and regulations at home and go out to have fun.No matter how much you do, it can only earn you a reputation as an excellent needleworker and add a bit of color to your search for a good match.

So needlework is also boring.

Maybe I don't feel boring, but feel useless.Apart from getting married, it is useless to do anything else.

But when it comes to getting married, you have to rely on your husband’s family. I have seen many beautiful daughters who end up marrying ordinary people. They are full of spiritual energy and are as smart as their men. However, they are also endangered by endless quarrels or the cost of daily necessities. The trivial matters were all wasted away.

They told me that before the man got married, he had an eighty-nine score, but after he got married, he only had a score of three or four. He was totally unreliable.

However, the rules and ethics taught me that I need to rely on these things that are simply unreliable.Therefore, if I don't like the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, I might as well follow the example of Lao Zhuang and ignore the secular world, and just stay aloof from the world for a while while I'm not married yet.

But……"

Tao Yao looked down at the writing in her hand: "But the woman in this writing is different. She did not rely on men, but became his support.

The needlework in her hands is not the icing on the cake, but the warm clothes on her family.She does business, sells silk, buys and sells fields, manages the servants and maids at home, takes good care of herself, wears gorgeous clothes, and helps the poor.

She speaks wisdom and can teach her children, but she is not rejected by her husband and children, but is praised by her family.

I just told the old lady that I can't reach it yet because no one has ever told me that I can do these things without being regarded as a deviant and deviant, but as a virtuous woman.

To be honest, I long for the good works on this paper, but the world does not allow it. There are many women, even if they are really virtuous, if they want to do this, they will only be blocked by their husbands in every possible way, just by saying that they do not follow the rules of women. "

Chu Ping nodded slowly when he heard the words. He realized more and more that Taoyao was a very profound woman. Every time he talked to her, she could always reach a level that others could not reach. It could be said that she could express her feelings directly, which always made him have something to say. The new sight is really heartfelt: "Our family is not like this. The reason why I still remember this text is because when I look back at my mother and grandmother, although they may not be like the woman on this paper, It's perfect, but it's still [-]/[-] out of [-].

I admire my grandmother and mother, so I deeply agree with the words on this page.

If you like it too, that's my blessing. "

When Tao Yao heard this, her heart moved with admiration, and she quickly said harshly: "Whether I like it or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Chu Ping pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah? I have worked so hard to write so much, but it has nothing to do with me?"

Tao Yao folded the paper by herself and carefully put it into her sleeve. She said as if no one was watching: "Then who knows? Didn't you say you want to take me to the garden? The garden is so big, we can't just stay in the pavilion." "Yes, the girl wants to see where she wants to go, and Chu Ping will naturally accompany her." Chu Ping said, and ordered the maid to collect the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Tao Yao looked down at the ravine on the ground in the Liushang Pavilion and said, "This Liushang Pavilion is also interesting. On the ground is the word "longevity" written in one stroke."

Chu Ping nodded and said with a smile: "This Liushang Pavilion was built by my father to celebrate the birthday of my grandfather. You can draw water from the pool into the longevity character, float the cup on it, and compose poems from the beginning to the end. It's very interesting. Elegance.

Next time if there are many people at home, you can invite the girls to join in the fun. "

Taoyao responded, "Okay."

Chu Ping led her out of Liushang Pavilion and looked at the little lotus in the pond with its sharp corners showing. The red fish underneath was quite nice.There are flowers and trees planted on the shore outside, some of which are just green, but magnolias, lilacs, and camellias are in full bloom.

Walking slowly under the flower trees, the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.

Tao Yao smiled and said, "My father also likes to take care of flowers and plants. Looking at this place, it feels like he is back home."

Chu Ping just looked at her with a smile and said, "As long as you like it."

While the two were talking, Forsythia came over and said, "Sir, miss, you are here. The old lady said that Taoyuan has set up a meal and invites you to come and have a meal."

Chu Ping and Tao Yao both responded and stood up to go over.

Forsythia then asked: "Uncle, didn't the eldest sister come out with you, where is she?"

Chu Ping said helplessly: "She ran to have breakfast. You go and look for her in her room."

Forsythia responded: "Yes, then I'll go look for it. Maybe I and the girl can go there on their own?"

Chu Ping smiled and said: "Of course, it's not like I don't know the way, so just go ahead."

Taoyao followed Chu Ping through the theater and returned to Taoyuan. Sure enough, she saw that in a peach forest, the maids had already prepared a banquet. When Taoyao and Chu Ping arrived, the old lady got up and joined Shao. Sat down.

Not long after, Forsythia also led Chu Yanran over. However, she had just had breakfast and was not very interested in the plate full of delicacies on the table. She just sat beside her, staring at her. Little pugs running all over the ground.

Tao Yao looked at this girl with interest. The old lady just chatted with Tao Yao for a few words. She asked Tao Yao about her father and mother, the situation at home, and her brother who had won the Jinshi. It was obvious that the Chu family was very fond of his brother. He was respectful and vaguely mentioned his situation in the capital, and asked Taoyao if he had been to the capital.

Tao Yao also answered the questions one by one. When his brother first became a Jinshi, the whole family also went to the capital and helped his brother buy a house in the capital. Although it was only a small courtyard, it also used a lot of the family's money.
