"Father, have you met the scholar named Su Hao today?"
In the inner house of the magistrate's house, Han Qian pretended to be casual and asked her father Han Wen.
"Yes, haven't you seen his sister Lu Xiu'er?" Han Wen answered his daughter's question as he took off his official uniform and put on his casual clothes.
Han Qian said: "I met that Lu Xiu'er. Father, after you talked with that Su Hao, do you think this person is really that magical?"
Han Wen usually likes to talk about some county government affairs with his wife and daughter. Yesterday, after receiving the news from Li Xing, Han Wen returned to the inner house and talked about Su Hao with his family. During the conversation, Han Wen said something about Su Hao
There was quite a bit of disbelief in his magical skills, so Han Qian asked the question now.
Hearing his daughter's question, Han Wen nodded and said: "Master Fang and I took a test on him. It seems that this person's talent is not just a boast, but he has some real abilities."
"Is it possible that he has learned the art of divination and is good at stargazing and fortune-telling?" Han Qian asked.
"No, no." Han Wen said, "What Su Hao learned is the Yi people's way of studying things, which is quite different from my Ming Dynasty knowledge. From what he said, the Yi people's way of studying things is also very good.
It stands to reason, at least in terms of well exploration, it is more reliable than those Feng Shui masters."
Han Qian said in surprise: "How does this Su Hao understand the Yi people's way of studying things? I heard Lu Xiu'er say that he is just an ordinary scholar. He has only been to the county town a few times. Who did he learn the way of studying things from?
Where is the Tao?"
Han Wen relayed Su Hao's words to Han Qian again. Combining what Lu Xiu'er said, the two came to the conclusion that Su Hao met a missionary from Franji when he went to the city to study.
, he studied with the missionaries for a few days, and then he continued to understand, and then he realized some truths. If this guess can be established, then Su Hao's IQ and learning ability are both incredible.
"Father, have you recruited such a talented person?" Han Qian asked.
Han Wen said: "Of course. I originally planned to appoint him as a clerk in the workshop, but then I thought about it. Taizu had a destiny, and those who were subordinate officials were not allowed to take the imperial examination for life. I didn't want to delay his future, so I gave him the opportunity.
As a master, I even rewarded him with 20 taels of silver."
Han Qian pursed her lips and smiled: "Father, as far as I know, this is the most generous reward you have ever given to your subordinates."
Han Wen said: "The icing on the cake is better than providing help in the snow. I can see that this Su Hao is definitely not a thing in the pool. His future prospects will be far better than mine. Maybe one day I will have to rely on him for support. While he is still there
When he was poor, I helped him, so that we can talk easily when we meet in the future."
Han Qian said displeased: "Father, what you say is too utilitarian."
Han Wen smiled and said: "Haha, it's okay not to say it is so utilitarian. I think Su Hao is a rare talent. I am willing to help him get on the gold list as soon as possible and serve the country. Isn't this a good thing?"
"That's pretty much it." Han Qian said coquettishly. After saying that, she was silent for a while, then pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "Father, from now on, Su Hao will be on duty at the county government. If there is anything wrong with me,
If you know something, can you ask him for advice?"
"How can this be done?" Han Wen was originally leaning on the chair. When he heard his daughter's words, he sat up straight. He looked into Han Qian's eyes and asked, "What do you want to ask him about?"
Han Qian did not dare to look her father in the eyes, lowered her head and said: "I... I think what he said about studying things is quite interesting. These things are not in the book, so I want to ask him for some advice."
Han Wen shook his head: "You are a lady, and it is already illegal to show up in public. After all, Su Hao is a young man. If you interact with him too much, you may cause people to gossip."
"What's the point of gossiping!" Han Qian pouted and said, "If you old masters also know how to investigate things, I naturally won't ask him for advice. I'm just curious about the knowledge of the barbarians, but you have to think wildly."
As soon as Han Qian turned her back, Han Wen's attitude softened. There was no way, this daughter was the apple of his eye, and she had been pampered by him since she was a child. It was really impossible for him to really lower his face and scold Han Qian. At the end of Ming Dynasty,
Compared with the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the social atmosphere has been much developed. Married or unmarried women can go shopping, and it is not uncommon for some women to have sex. Han Wen is a native of Zhejiang, and he has been influenced by culture since he was a child.
She also advocates freedom, so she doesn't think her daughter's idea is too deviant.
"Well, if you are interested in the study of objects and want to learn a thing or two from Su Hao, that's fine. Well, I'll find time to arrange for Su Hao to give a lecture to everyone, and you can also listen with the crowd. This will also save the time.
Embarrassing." Han Wen compromised.
"Thank you, father." Han Qian said happily.
"Qian'er, you are 16 years old this year, and you can no longer be as ignorant of the world as before. I asked people to arrange several marriages for you, but you are not willing. What should I do? What do you think about your future husband?
What do you think? Can you talk to your father?" Han Wen saw that his daughter was in a high mood and took the opportunity to mention her marriage.
In the Ming Dynasty, a 16-year-old girl had already reached the time to get married, but Han Qian had no choice but to disdain the several young men arranged for her by her parents. This has become a worry for the Han couple.
When she heard her father talking about her marriage, Han Qian's face darkened, but fortunately, she did not run away this time, but solemnly replied: "Father, the few people you and your mother introduced to me are either the prefect
The young master, or the nephew of a colleague. I heard people say that these people all like women's clothes, put on makeup, and dress up better than me. Do you think that after we get married, should I call them husbands or sisters?
"
"Absurd!" Han Wen laughed angrily at Han Qian, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what Han Qian said was really what happened.
During the Wanli period, a phenomenon known as "subduing demons" appeared in some cities in the south of the Yangtze River. In today's terms, it means the emergence of some "non-mainstream" ways of dressing up. There was once an idle official named Li Le.
One day when I went into the city, I was shocked to see all the students on the street. They all had red hair, red lipstick, white powder on their faces, and blush. As for
The clothes are bright red and purple, and the underwear is even more gorgeous than the women.
It is said that after official Li returned home, he was filled with emotions and changed an ancient poem to read: I went to the city wall yesterday and came back with tears streaming down my cheeks; all the women wearing women's clothes were scholars.
It seems that the problem of brain retardation is not new to today. It has been an epidemic as early as the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Li Shizhen once declared that there is no cure for the disease of brain retardation, which may be referring to this incident.
The dandy boys that Han Wen introduced to his daughter were naturally the best at pursuing fashion. It was not surprising that they would imitate other people’s makeup and wear women’s clothes. But when such attire fell into Han Qian’s eyes, she could
I feel extremely disgusting and have no desire to continue dating.
"Alas, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and the world is getting worse." Han Wen sighed, "Okay, let me find out whose son abides by the way of a saint, and then I can introduce it to you. However, you are already 16 years old, so now
We must not delay things any longer.”
"Father -" Han Qian blushed and said in a drawl: "My daughter is not filial enough. You are so eager to kick her out. I think it is good now, but I don't want to marry so early."
Han Wen shook his head: "If you are a 16-year-old girl who doesn't get married in college, it will be hard to find a husband if you delay for a few years. We rarely see anything in this small Fengcheng County."
I asked my colleagues to go to Nanchang to find these famous officials and talented people."
"Who said there are no famous officials and talented people in Fengcheng? I think..." Han Qian blurted out. Before she could finish her words, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't see anyone, so she quickly stood up and ran away.
Seeing that his daughter ran away before she finished speaking, Han Wen was a little confused. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh no, this girl must have taken a liking to Su Hao!"
