Yuan Suijun didn't think that women were much inferior to men. Su Yueling's talent was enough to put most men below her - but many people definitely didn't want to admit this, or even accept this fact.
Looking at Baoshu again, although she has a soft character, she also shows extraordinary talent in dyeing cloth.
Yuan Suijun didn't want the world to only have virtuous and kind impressions of Su Yueling, and he didn't want others to think that Su Yueling was canonized as a township monarch due to luck.
The other students were obviously shocked by what Yuan Suijun said.
"If you act like this, it will be difficult for you to become a disciple."
There are many people clamoring for such a talented disciple.
Yuan Suijun was very calm about this, "It's better to lack than to waste. If you can't find it, I can still guide my wife." Although Su Yueling is usually lazy, she will not give up halfway when it comes to learning.
Some people didn't quite agree with what he said and couldn't help but shake their heads and said: "Xiangjun is certainly talented, but she is a woman after all. No matter how much she learns, she can only add some talents to herself and cannot serve the court. There is someone who can teach her.
If you don’t have enough energy, it’s better to recruit a few more apprentices.”
If you can teach a few people to be successful, it will be a great act of kindness that benefits society.
Yuan Suijun looked at the person who spoke - Meng Zong, a teacher at Qingshan Academy. He usually lives in the state capital, and this time he came here to congratulate him. Meng Zong had won the imperial examination nine years ago, and then failed again and again in the spring.
He simply went to Qingshan Academy as a teacher.
Obviously he is the same type of person as Zhang Chengwang, and they also believe in the idea that women without talent are virtuous. Even his daughters are not allowed to study. At most, they are only allowed to have saints who tell them about the virtues of women.
words.
Yuan Suijun felt that there was no need to send invitations to Meng Zong in the future. If he had known that he was this kind of person, he would never have let him enter the Yuan family. He said calmly: "My wife has been illiterate for less than two years, and she launched the
The three-spindle pedal spinning wheel has allowed more and more people to have cheap clothes. I heard that the current price of cotton has dropped by 30% compared to last year. Even people from ordinary families are willing to spend money to buy some cloth.
go back."
"Not only that, she also found the formula for glutinous rice puree. Many embankments in Daxia have begun to be repaired with glutinous rice puree, so that many people along the river will not suffer from floods."
"Even the road you walked along was paid for by her. She is kind-hearted and even gave the villagers a high salary, so that they can have more money in the past two years."
"Meng Juren has been studying for more than ten years. I wonder if his contribution to the court and the people is even 10% as great as his wife's?"
What Su Yueling has done is truly immeasurable merit.
But some people are enjoying this benefit while trying to make her study useless.
Yuan Suijun really couldn't understand this, let alone agree with them for the so-called popularity. If he can't even protect his wife's reputation, what's the use of studying for so many years?
Let alone Meng Zong, the combined contributions of most of the governors in the state were not as good as Su Yueling's.
Meng Zong's face turned red. He did teach several talented people at Qingshan Academy - but he was just one of the teachers, so the credit really cannot be attributed to him. If we have to count merits, he is indeed better than
But Su Yueling.
But Su Yueling was just lucky. This good luck could never follow her all her life.
Zhang Cheng and Yuan Suijun were both from Guangning County. Because of the spinning wheel, he had a good impression of Su Yueling, so he also talked to him: "As men, it is so difficult to obtain a title. Let alone
Speaking of a woman like Xiang Jun, even the saints recognized Xiang Jun's merits and specifically named her Xiang Jun. They even gave her the title of Wei Guo. It can be seen that the saints saw her achievements.
"
Can Meng Zong be more capable than a saint?
As soon as Zhang Cheng mentioned the title, Meng Zong did not dare to answer the question. He did not dare to question the holy will.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "I just drank a few glasses of wine, and I got a little drunk and said some stupid things. Don't take offense at me."
Yuan Suijun's tone was calm, "Since you know that you will say stupid things when you are drunk, Meng Juren had better give up drinking."
"If you say something stupid next time, not everyone will forgive you generously."
Meng Zong was so angry that he came here today to win over Yuan Suijun and make friends with him. He didn't expect that his character was so arrogant and rude. He even bowed his head, but he still refused to give in. This is too small-minded.
Alright.
Before this, Yuan Suijun always gave everyone a gentle and elegant impression. Until now, he has shown a sharp side, which is unavoidable and shocking.
This new Xie Yuan turns out to have a temper.
And it can be seen that he and his wife Wei Guoxiangjun have a very deep relationship and cannot tolerate the slightest slighting from others.
Well, we must pay attention to this, so as not to arouse his disgust.
At this time, Wu Shu also came over. Someone had already informed Wu Shu about what was going on in the hall. Wu Shu sneered in his heart, what a sour child, he dared to point fingers at Yueling, without even looking at whether he was worthy or not.
That's why she took this trip on purpose.
She handed the plan that Su Yueling had just made to Yuan Suijun, her eyebrows lowered and she looked respectful and gentle, "This is the plan written by Xiangjun. I would like to ask you to help fill in the gaps."
Yuan Suijun saw that the first line of the plan read - In order to be able to eat Rizhuang's wine-cooked fish, I am going to build the road from Lushan Village to Rizhuang!
His eyelids twitched - very good, this is indeed very Su Yueling.
Meng Zong, who had been feeling aggrieved just now, finally found a reason to teach him a lesson.
"There is something wrong with Xiangjun's behavior. When a man is talking about business, how can he disturb himself with trivial matters."
Especially since the other party wants Yuan Suijun to fill in the gaps. Isn't this deliberately delaying Yuan Suijun? Yuan Suijun is currently entertaining important guests like them. He thinks it is because Yuan Suijun is too used to the other party, so he raises
The other party's temperament of not knowing how to advance or retreat.
Although he had heard that the country king of Wei was very beautiful, Yuan Suijun should not indulge her again and again because of this.
Yuan Suijun glanced at Meng Zong. Although there was no extra emotion in that glance, Meng Zong felt as if he was frozen by ice. His mind froze in an instant and he forgot what he wanted to say.
Yuan Suijun sighed softly and said: "My wife came to me specifically to talk about building roads. My wife is kind-hearted and learned that Rizhuang was poor and could not afford to build roads, so he planned to pay for it himself.
The road to Rizhuang has been repaired."
As for the reason for eating wine and cooking fish, it goes without saying.
The other guests present were shocked.
It would cost a lot of money to build such a road, right?
Wait... Yang Juren seemed to suddenly remember something, and his trembling voice showed disbelief, "She doesn't plan to use glutinous rice to build roads, does she?"
"right."
Everyone else was silent. As for the cost of Nuomi Road, they had heard people explain it before. If such a road is built, seven thousand taels is the minimum, and it cannot be said to be more than ten thousand taels.
Su Yueling is actually willing to spend so much money to build roads?
This selflessness shocked them and made them feel a little ashamed. Compared with Su Yueling, they suddenly seemed to be too selfish.
Yuan Suijun's tone was sarcastic, "Even a great charity like building roads is just a trivial matter in Meng Juren's eyes. I wonder what serious things are in Meng Juren's eyes?"
"If you have different ways of doing things, you can't work together. Forgive me for not being able to make friends with people like Meng Juren."
"I cannot agree with Meng Juren's point of view just because she is a woman and ignore her noble character and kind behavior." Some guests couldn't help but speak for Su Yueling.
Feeling the disdainful glances from others, Meng Zong's face turned the color of pig liver. How could he know that Su Yueling came to Yuan Suijun to build a road, and that she actually wanted to build such a long road?
Is she crazy?
Now it's better, in everyone's eyes, he has really become a jealous villain.
Meng Zong knew that he would be driven away soon if he didn't leave. He didn't want to be embarrassed, so he could only leave in despair.
