Zhou Pei is currently struggling with the fact that he is about to grow up.
As the little princess in Prince Kang's palace, she was thirteen years old last year, and after the Chinese New Year this year, she will be fourteen. Fourteen is not a very remarkable age, but for girls, some things begin to become urgent and urgent.
Obviously, the biggest influence is that my father, who has never been very responsible, began to consider finding a consort for himself during the Chinese New Year. I once asked her for her opinion, and recently she was comparing the young leaders in Jiangning.
, these things made her feel a little distressed.
It's not that she completely rejects marriage. As Zhou Pei's status as a princess, the education she received since childhood was actually excellent. She has learned "Nv Commandments", "Nv Training", three obediences and four virtues very well. As a nv these days,
, especially for royal wives who can receive education, it is not an exaggeration to say that all education since childhood is for the purpose of becoming a qualified wife in the future.
It is true that an extremely favorable environment can easily cultivate certain personalities that are not very popular, but Zhou Pei is relatively good in this regard. She has no expectations for her future marriage. What will the future consort be like?
What it would be like to form a family with another man, and what to do after becoming someone else's wife. Thinking about these things, she would also feel blushing and heartbeat. But on the other hand, this matter also clearly told
She may only be a woman from now on.
In terms of "a woman without talent is a virtue", Zhou Pei is unqualified. She has extraordinary talent and quick thinking. Of course, this is also an unconvincing lie. Only smart women can truly grasp it.
In a family, it is easy for really stupid women to suffer losses. Xiao Zhou Pei has seen many such stupid women in the palace since she was a child. She will not be like them.
She has had various teachers since she was a child, but the most important one is her consort Kang after all. The old man is an angry young man, which has a great influence on her. Since she was a child, Grandpa Kang will teach her and her brother how to be part of the Zhou royal family.
The honor, the ideal of inheriting the unique knowledge of the past saints and creating peace for all generations - more is actually taught to her younger brother Zhou Junwu, but as a royal family, she naturally has such qualifications and missions, for example, the emperor's aunt Nainai is doing it with the prince consort.
The huge business secretly supports the Chaotang's operations in the south. This is very convincing.
Kang Xian and his wife set an example and taught without distinction. As a result, Zhou Pei, who was sensible earlier, was more deeply infected and set various ambitions since she was a child. So she supervised her younger brother from an early age. Although the royal family was relatively strict with their relatives.
Strict, but always have the thought of serving the country in your heart, just like the emperor's aunt Nainai and the prince's consort, as long as you hope, there are always ways to contribute to the country. With a sister with a strong sense of responsibility, Xiao Junwu, as a younger brother, has become
Relatively tame.
The two siblings walked together under such circumstances. Their father gave up and left them to Kang Xian to discipline them. Zhou Pei's sense of responsibility became increasingly strong, but his younger brother was a piece of brown sugar, adhering to the principle of being as good as water, but there was no progress. Read
My grades in the book are so-so and sometimes a little vague. If you want to say that you sacrifice your life for your country or something, the little guy will definitely stare in surprise.
The thing is obvious, the country didn't even let them die. Their father spent all day fighting dogs, and the court restricted the participation of the royal relatives in politics. They had no way of becoming officials and joining the army since they were young. They had been influenced by it since they were young, and Xiao Junwu
She also knows these things, but Zhou Pei believes that where there is a will, there is a way. She and her brother have been free-range since she was a child, not in captivity, so she knows what is going on in the world right now. She is worried about the current situation in the world and always feels that she has to do something.
, at least he has to urge his younger brother to do something. After all, he is a man. He has not achieved much in these years. Zhou Pei is worried, but after all, his younger brother is only eleven years old. There is always time to take it slow, but at this time,
But she knew there was little time left.
As a daughter, she couldn't avoid things like getting married. She blushed and felt anxious about the things her father said. At the same time, she really discovered that once she got married, she could only be a daughter.
After all, it is extremely special to manage family affairs, take care of husband and raise children, and be too arrogant. Things like that between the emperor's aunt Nainai and the prince's consort are after all extremely special circumstances. It is hard to say what his consort will be like.
The princes-in-law are all here to become wives. Nowadays, those who are willing to be princes-in-law are said to be crooked melons and cracked jujubes...
In short, once you get married, you really have to let go of all the things you thought about in the past. Now that I think about it, it's the same with drinking every family.
There are some things that her brother is interested in now, but unfortunately they have nothing to do with the things she wanted her brother to accept before. Everything comes from the "barbarian" named Ning Yi. Ning Yi is currently her master, and calling him barbarian is a bit disrespectful.
, but that was a habit I developed last year, and now I only use it occasionally when I feel angry.
This master is known as the most talented person in Jiangning. He is not just trying to gain fame. His talent and learning are beyond praise. He is only in his early twenties. However, he is not serious at all. He teaches casually and has a casual attitude. He does not look like a teacher in class.
He always told some short stories from the market, which often made the whole audience burst into laughter, just like a storyteller in a teahouse. He was not at all like the seriousness of Grandpa Prince Consort, and I don’t know how the two of them became friends.
To be honest, she admired the man's talent and learning. Every time he said something thought-provoking, sometimes people would be amazed when he said something casually. Not long ago, because of what she was thinking, she casually asked in class: "
Why do people have to get married?" Things like getting married and carrying on the family line are actually things that are certain in Zhou Pei's mind and do not need to be discussed. If we really want to talk about it, anyone can quote the scriptures to explain these truths about human relations. She
I don't know why I asked suddenly.
The students in the class taught by Ning Yi are generally younger. Since the Su family is run as a private school, there are several young girls among them, with Zhou Pei's age being the oldest. But she, a girl, asked this question
As soon as he said this, there was silence in the classroom, and all the children blushed. Only Xiao Junwu nodded: "Yes, yes, why, those nv children are the most annoying, always crying..." Xiao Junwu
Jun Wuge Wentun was favored by his elder sisters among his relatives, but he didn't expect that he felt this way. As soon as these words came out, the faces of several girls from the Su family over there became dark.
"I hate you too!"
"I won't play with you anymore."
Xiao Junwu hurriedly explained, and the scene was in confusion. Zhou Pei actually regretted asking the question. He expected that the master would give a simple answer, but he didn't expect that Ning Yi thought for a while and said something that stunned everyone.
"There is a saying that is more interesting..." Ning Yi started to speak with a smile, and the classroom became quiet. Everyone raised their heads and listened carefully, but Ning Yi pointed at Xiao Junwu, "For example, Jun Wu
Well, you are now considered an only child in the family, with only one sister and no other brothers or sisters."
Jun Wu nodded vigorously.
"This situation requires you to have a father. Your father has a son, your grandpa nainai. They must give birth to a son, that is your father. Your grandpa nainai must also have a son, your grandpa.
, and then, the next generation, the previous generation...and so on, until thousands of years ago, do you know how lucky this is?"
After all, the children's understanding ability was still a bit poor, so Ning Yi waited.
"Let's think about it, maybe it's a little strange, but if you are one of your ancestors thousands of years ago, what would it take to pass on the bloodline from generation to generation? Jun Wu, you need to get married, and you must give birth to a son.
Come."
Jun Wu blushed for a while, and the children all laughed.
"Your sons must also get married, and they must give birth to a son. Your grandson must also get married, and the same must give birth to a son. Your grandson's grandson... all the way to your father, he must also get married, and then give birth to a son.
Only then will you be what you are now. We all come from the same bloodline, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of generations of people. Each generation must have a son, and each generation must have a son.
son……"
"Look at Uncle Huang who sells noodles on the street. Their family has no children and no wives. For example, they have been very sad recently. The only child of the Qi family went out to run business and encountered banditry. He died. Xiao Qi, your father still went to visit
Yes. Last year’s floods caused many people, including their sons and daughters, to pass away. Many, many of them. It took tens of thousands of years for people to reach here. In the meantime, all kinds of things will happen. If suddenly there is a generation
People, you gave birth to a daughter, and now you are gone. Or, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, after all, most of the generations, your ancestors of a certain generation encountered military disasters or natural disasters and died before leaving any children. This is also very rare.
possible……"
"However, in such a dangerous process, hundreds of thousands of couples, our ancestors, none of them died before giving birth to children, and... they all gave birth to boys, thousands of couples
Ah, they all give birth to boys, and their children must also give birth to boys. The same is true for your mother's bloodline. Your grandparents must have daughters, and then up, your grandmother's parents must also have daughters... Every generation has daughters.
Son, a daughter must also give birth to a daughter. They all give birth to daughters, and they may be even smaller. Who wants a daughter? Your family favors sons over daughters..."
Ning Yi smiled: "Everyone, you will think that it is natural for you to be here, but think about it, how many generations of our ancestors have passed through, how many dangerous possibilities have been avoided, this bloodline, they
It has not stopped passing through one generation, passing it on, passing it on, passing it on, passing it on... Finally it has been passed on to you. How lucky are you. In this way, you may be able to feel how the blood in your body is the same as your father's.
, Grandpa, and even the connection between generations of ancestors. They have gone through thousands of hardships to allow this bloodline to be passed down to the present, and then you are here. This is thousands of years of hard work. You guys
I can’t bear to let it break like this..."
Almost all the children in the class were stunned. Some understood, some didn't, and some could only understand a little bit. But Zhou Pei understood. When she was a child, she heard many things said by the prince consort.
She had also read many poems and paintings. She originally thought she understood what grandeur was, such as a country, the Great Wall, the Silk Road, and her favorites, "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" and "Sleepwalking Tianmu Farewell", but
No matter how majestic or gorgeous things are, they can't compare to what I heard today.
She could almost feel that the two blood lines that started thousands of years ago - no, even from the beginning of the world and the beginning of human beings could be drawn from thousands of years ago and stay in her body, so
It has lasted tens of millions of years, but it has never stopped for a moment.
To be able to say such things in an understatement, my teacher... is really a very powerful person.
But when he talked about this kind of thing, he didn't use any gorgeous words, which made her almost hate him. How could he do this!ra
