He is in his early fifties, has a slender face, and a serious expression, making it difficult to get along with him.
Seeing him come in, the study immediately became quiet, and even Princess Changning acted calmly.
Xu Yin stared at him a few more times. This Taifu was a loyal minister who had fallen behind the previous emperor. He cursed at the new emperor's enthronement ceremony and eventually died in the palace.
Although this approach has no effect other than giving away people's lives, Xu Yin still respects such a proud gentleman.
The prince led everyone to stand up and say hello: "Mr. Tai Fu."
Taifu Lu nodded: "Everyone, please take a seat."
His eyes swept over and finally landed on Xu Yin: "Is this new student the Lord of Yongjia County?"
Xu Yin stood up and replied: "Yes, Grand Tutor."
Mr. Lu glanced at her twice and asked, "Women have four qualities, so what are they?"
Is this her homework for the school exam? Everyone was very interested, some were full of curiosity, and some were waiting to see the show.
I heard that Miss Xu San was also a little bully in Nanyuan. A girl who fights and kills all day long will definitely not be able to sit down and study. Just like Princess Changning, she will most likely be left speechless by Taifu Lu's questions.
Say it?
Thinking like this, I heard Xu Yin reply: "A woman's virtue, a woman's words, a woman's appearance, and a woman's merits."
Well...this question is actually very simple, and the answer is not surprising.
Taifu Lu continued to ask: "What's the explanation?"
Xu Yin then replied: "Being leisurely, chaste and quiet, observing discipline and neatness, acting with shame, and acting in a lawful manner are called women's virtues. Choosing the words to speak, not saying bad words, always saying second words, and not being disgusted with others are called women's words. Wash.
It is called a woman's appearance to be free from dust and filth, her clothes are fresh and clean, and her body is free from dirt and disgrace after bathing. This is called a woman's merit. She concentrates on spinning and spinning, is not interested in joking, and is clean and tidy with wine and food to serve guests. This is called a woman's merit."
After hearing this, everyone put aside their contempt.
Although she was endorsing the book, it was not easy for the ladies present to read the book smoothly. How many of them could recite such a long speech? It seems that she has some real talent and learning, and is not just a fool.
Perhaps neither of the two questions bothered her. Taifu Lu's expression brought out the scrutiny: "Then, the county prince holds a sharp knife and goes out to banquets. How can he be worthy of a woman's virtue? Can he be worthy of a woman's words with his skillful words and flattery? Is his seduction worthy of a woman's?
To deceive people and flatter people with their beauty, is it worthy of a woman’s appearance? To swamp Yongcheng with blood and to parade through the streets, is it worthy of a woman’s merit?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of gasping could be heard in the study.
If it was said that it was a school test homework, these words were simply pointed at Xu Yin's nose. As a woman, her behavior was simply immoral, speechless, and useless! Being accused like this by a world-famous scholar, if it spread,
He could be killed by a head-on collision.
Is Mr. Lu too serious? He scolded a little girl like this...
The prince looked unbearable and felt that these words were too harsh and untrue. However, he was ignorant and searched hard, but he could not think of anything to refute.
"Aling..." He turned to Yan Ling for help.
However, Yan Ling shook his head and made a silent gesture.
What do you mean? Don't get involved? Yes, if they stand up for Miss Xu San, they will definitely be scolded by Mrs. Lu, right? But she obviously did nothing wrong, so it is too pitiful to be scolded like this...
Princess Changning didn't have so many scruples. At this time, she showed annoyance and said: "What the Master said is unfair, Ayin..."
Tai Fu Lu calmly intercepted her words: "Princess, I am asking about the Lord of Yongjia County."
"But……"
Xu Yin gently pulled Princess Changning to stop her from talking, and replied by herself: "Taifu has studied ancient and modern times, so he must be proficient in historical records. According to the records of Taishi Gong, Qi Taicang ordered Chun Yugong to be punished for his crime and was escorted to Chang'an. Taicang Gong had no male, and there were The five women then burst into tears. The Duke of Taicang scolded him: 'It is useless to have children but not boys. It is not beneficial to have children in a hurry!' His young daughter Tiying followed her father to Chang'an and wrote to Emperor Wen to exempt her father from physical punishment."
She raised her head and looked over: "Teacher knows the students' experiences very well. He must know that my father has no sons, only me and my eldest sister. At that time, my father was seriously ill in bed, and Wu thieves came to threaten me. My Xu family, and even Nanyuan This place is in danger. If I stick to its rules, who will protect the safety of my family?"
"Oh?" Mrs. Lu smiled half-heartedly, "Are you comparing yourself to Tiying? Your filial piety will move heaven?"
Xu Yin ignored it and continued: "The four lines of my daughter came from Ban Jia Jia. Her father and brother wrote the Han Dynasty, but they died before they were completed and passed down the Han Shu. The world praises Ban Jia Jia. Why? To carry on the legacy of my father and brother is I am a great virtue. Students dare not compare with everyone in the class, but before I become a daughter, I must first be a human being. My father is ill and sharing his worries is an act of filial piety; continuing his duties and protecting Nanyuan is an act of loyalty; Wu thieves are cruel , Killing them to eliminate harm to the people is benevolence; cleaning up the remaining evil and taking action when in danger is righteousness."
Speaking of this, she looked at Taifu Lu and smiled slightly: "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the great virtues of a person. With great virtues in front, why should I lose the four virtues? My appearance is just a skin. If I can exchange it for the peace of my family and the well-being of the people, , so what if we abandon it? Wherever the Tao exists, even if tens of thousands of people go there, I will leave."
The charm of words lies in the beauty that transcends external objects and the power to shock people's hearts. Some words, even though they are only a few words, are enough to shock the deaf and enlighten the mind.
Although most of the young men from aristocratic families and noble ladies present were uneducated and unskilled, they couldn't help but feel shaken when they heard these words.
Wherever the Tao exists, even if tens of thousands of people go there, I will go there.
Although I don’t understand it very well, but... it sounds so cool! Suddenly my heart is racing!
The prince pulled Yan Ling's sleeves excitedly, wanting to share this feeling with him: "Aling, she is so amazing! Look at Mrs. Lu, she doesn't even know what to do!"
Yan Ling smiled slightly and cast his gaze across the screen, looking at the faint shadow on the right.
Of course he knew how powerful she was. Killing Wu Zijing was nothing, it was nothing worth mentioning.
Mr. Lu was also startled. This reply was excellent even for his serious students. Isn't this Miss Xu San, rumored to be a fighting lackey, an arrogant and domineering dandy? How...
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Suddenly there was applause from outside, and a deep voice said, "What a place for Taoism, even if tens of thousands of people go there, I will go there. Mr. Lu, you lose!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man stepping into the study.
This man is in his twenties, wearing a python robe, with a jade face and thin lips, and dim eyes. He is obviously dressed up to be noble, but he also has a vague sense of coolness.
Taifu Lu stood up, bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness Prince Duan."
The prince also stood up with everyone: "Uncle."
This is Duan Wang Gao Huan, one of the youngest brothers of the emperor. It is said that he loves poetry and goes to the museum to study almost every day. Although he is not well-known outside, he has a good reputation among scholars.
Xu Yin stood up with everyone, looked at this face that was younger and softer than in memory, and bowed his head to salute.
