Although Zhang Chengwang sometimes gets angry, most of his anger is directed at Su Yuewei.
He was so angry that his hands were trembling, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his facial features were twisted into a ball because of his ferocious expression.
Zhang Xinghua, who faced his anger, was neither puzzled nor frightened. She asked timidly: "Brother, is there anything wrong with this girls' dormitory?"
Is it because Su Yueling opened it, so his brother didn't like it? But it didn't cost their family money, and it was Su Yueling's advantage. No matter how you looked at it, she didn't suffer. She thought her eldest brother would support her.
Zhang Chengwang's voice was cold, "A woman should take good care of her husband and raise her children at home. It is her duty to be docile and obedient. But she created this girls' school and taught the girls in the village to study. This is too ambitious."
His voice revealed such deep hatred that people who didn't know better thought Su Yueling had dug up his family's ancestral grave.
In fact, in Zhang Chengwang's eyes, Su Yueling's behavior is almost the same as digging up ancestral graves. It is the right thing for women to be modest and simple. If they are allowed to learn those poems, they are afraid that they will become wild-minded and think about breaking up with men all day long.
There are signs. Moreover, how can those vulgar village girls in Lushan Village deserve to learn this? Reading also requires threshold.
Zhang Chengwang prides himself on being a noble and pure scholar. He looks down on the farmers around him who dig in the soil for food, and even more on the ignorant village girls and village women. As a result, the knowledge he has always cherished can be learned by seeing those village girls, which is undoubtedly a poke.
How could he not be angry if it touched the pit of his heart.
Zhang Chengwang said bitterly: "Fortunately, Yuan Suijun is still a scholar, but he allows his wife to do such degrading behavior. He is completely carried away by beauty."
Zhang Xinghua was very unconvinced. Why can't she learn while her brother can learn? Just because she is a girl? But the eldest brother is the head of the family. Whether she can marry a good partner in the future depends on him. So.
She really didn't dare to speak out against her eldest brother's strong opposition.
Even when other girls of the same age in the village said happily that they would be able to go to school in a few days, Zhang Xinghua was still pouring cold water on her.
"Why are you going? My elder brother won't let me go. He is afraid that after I go, I will learn messy things and change my temperament, which will lead to bad things."
"We don't have any girls' school in Daxia. I'm afraid that if we go there, others will think we are restless, and no one will want us in the future."
"My eldest brother is a scholar, can what he said be false? I don't plan to go, and I advise you not to go either. If we are not all from the same village, why should I say these heart-breaking words to you.
"
"Su Yueling just wants to be in the limelight. She has money and can live her life however she wants. She doesn't care about other people's lives."
Zhang Xinghua moved Zhang Chengwang out. When some people heard Zhang Chengwang's objection, they immediately showed hesitation.
Isn’t it said that going to school is a good thing? If it is a good thing, why has no one done it before?
Some people in the village were affected and began to murmur in their hearts. They sent their daughters there in order to learn more so that they could have a good marriage in the future. But if they were labeled as restless because of this,
If you become an alien in the eyes of the world, then the gains outweigh the losses.
Of course, there are some families who are not affected. The daughter just went in to learn acupuncture, so why did her temperament change? Besides, this school is in the village, so at worst they are often watching outside the house. If there are any signs of something bad, go to
It's too late to stop it.
These rumors in the village soon spread to the Yuan family.
Wu Shu frowned, feeling sorry for Su Yueling. Yueling did all this for their own good, without any selfish motives. When it fell into Zhang Chengwang's mouth, it turned out to be a person seeking fame and reputation. He, Zhang Chengwang, was the one who was completely seeking fame and reputation.
She didn't want Su Yueling to be troubled by rumors, and specifically asked others not to say these things in front of Su Yueling.
Wu Shu won Su Yueling's trust, so her servants naturally did not dare not listen to her words.
However, the most she could do was keep these words away from Su Yueling, and the Yuan family still heard them.
Yuan Suijun naturally knew that the little girl in Zhang Chengwang's heart was because he felt that the girls in Lushan Village were not worthy of studying?
He stood up and called his younger brother Yuan Suifeng, and Awu followed him closely. Yuan Suijun also asked Old Man Sheng to get a gong.
When they reached the door of Zhang's house, Yuan Suijun said first: "Strike the gong."
The penetrating sound of the golden gong immediately resounded throughout Lushan Village, drawing everyone out.
Yuan Suijun then ordered his younger brother: "Go and invite Zhang Xiucai out."
Yuan Suifeng said: "What if he refuses to come out?"
"Then break down the door and ask him to come out." He added an accent to the word "please".
Zhang Chengwang, who was originally in the study, overheard the conversation between the two brothers because the window was open, and his face turned livid - this was too much!
He actually wanted to see what Yuan Suijun wanted to do.
He walked out of the house angrily and looked at Yuan Suijun coldly, "I didn't expect that Yuan Xiucai would follow the example and visit the house today. Your courtesy is really amazing to me."
He didn't even want to maintain the false peace with Yuan Suijun anymore.
The other villagers put down what they were doing and watched from the side. They must be more biased towards Yuan Suijun. They originally thought that if Yuan Suijun suffered a loss, they would help him. But now they saw that Yuan Suijun
There are several people around him, no matter what, it will be Zhang Chengwang who suffers. Otherwise, when Zhang Chengwang is bullied, they will pretend they didn't see it?
After all, Suijun has such a good character that he can treat them mildly even when facing uneducated peasants like them. If he troubles Zhang Chengwang, it will definitely be Zhang Chengwang's fault.
Yuan Suijun looked indifferent, "I'm just having a discussion with Brother Zhang." He changed the subject, "I heard that Brother Zhang does not agree with the establishment of a female school?"
Zhang Chengwang had wanted to do this for a long time, but Yuan Suijun came to him on his own initiative. That was better.
He straightened his chest and said with an upright face, "Yes, I have never heard of a female school. Women should be chaste and docile. Reading is not their duty. Even if you love Ling Zheng, you shouldn't
Let her do such a rebellious thing."
"So you think women can't study anymore?"
Zhang Chengwang said lightly: "It is a virtue for a woman not to be talented. If you study too much, you will easily be misled by the book. Like your wife, she has studied too much and has no idea what it means to be content and humble." This is him.
the opinion of.
Yuan Suijun said: "I went to the state capital a few days ago and heard that the saint specially found three great scholars to enlighten the princess."
"What do you think of this? In your mind, shouldn't a saint allow Her Highness the Princess to read and read? Should the Princess be made blind and illiterate? The few great Confucians who taught the Princess have also become insulting in your mind.
A polite person?"
The saint's descendants have withered away, and now he only has one daughter, whom he regards as the apple of his eye. The princess already owned a fief when she was one year old, and enjoys treatment that is not inferior to that of the previous princes.
"I also heard that the most talented woman in the capital was accused of marrying Duke Wei last year. What do you think of this?"
"According to Brother Zhang's point of view, aren't they the most restless people in the world?"
Zhang Chengwang sweat broke out directly.
