Chapter 15 Second Uncle's Contribution to the Family
"I will inform you that children over six years old will not be distinguished from men and women, nor will they be divided into legitimate and illegitimate women. I will gather at the family martial arts venue at the Mao day tomorrow. Since I can't find a teacher for the time being, I will enlighten them first!"
"Mr. Lang, will this affect your study?" Zhang Lu was more concerned about Zhang Junping's study situation. After all, the Zhang family still had to support it.
As for those young men and ladies in the second house, they have the opportunity to read and read, it is already a blessing for the husband. It is not a problem to read a few days later.
"It's okay! Teach them not to delay my study!" Zhang Junping smiled.
"Here!" After hearing Zhang Junping say that it would not affect him, Zhang Lu agreed.
Zhang Lu took the order to leave, and Zhang Junping picked up the books and articles he had just collected and read them carefully.
Zhang Junping has read books in the library for five years, including astronomy, geography, history and humanities, and all kinds of books. Now it seems easy to read classical Chinese.
Zhang Junping reads books now not just to remember the contents in the book, but to use the content to understand the thoughts and governance philosophy of the people who write articles.
After reading it, I remember the contents of the book after reading it. I put down the book, savored it carefully, and figured out the artistic conception behind the words. Zhang Junping was soon immersed in the pleasure of talking to the author of the article.
The next day was not yet dawn, and before the hour of Mao came, Zhang Junping and a few servants stood in the martial arts venue waiting.
Zhang Junping had reached a tacit understanding with the second wife before, so he would not lack the food and clothing of the second wife, and was willing to cultivate the children of the second wife. This was a great favor for women whose husbands were unreliable and could only rely on their children.
Of course, they are more active than anyone else.
The Song Dynasty implemented a policy of strong trunks and weak branches. Those who were born in vain and had the opportunity to practice literature and martial arts was a gift from the eldest son's legitimate lineage.
Even if there is a child who doesn't understand these things because he is young, their mother dares not neglect them.
He called the child early and sent him to the martial arts venue.
"Our Zhang family has been passed down for four generations since the beginning of Ling Duo Gong!
Ling Duogong's achievements are no longer enough to support the Zhang family to continue to be rich!
Your father, some of his second father, has not been given any help!
You will be even less able to get the official support!
Are you willing to be a family rice insect like your father, eat it all over and wait for death?”
Zhang Jianzhong's contribution to the family was to spread. Zhang Junping's father Zhang Jianye was the only one with Zhang Junping. Zhang Jianzhong's branch was prosperous and gave birth to six sons and nine daughters.
Today, there are seven people over six years old, four men and three women.
"You may be unhappy if I say that to your father, but you should listen to me if you are unhappy!
Face is not something that others give, but something that you fight for!
You can be stupid, you can't pass the Jinshi exam, but you can't stop working hard!
Therefore, those Zhang family members who plan to be Mi Cang can give up their hearts.
Even if you want, I won’t agree to you continue to be rice insects!
Starting today, you will follow me to study in the academy, and I will personally supervise your study!
You have only two choices, study hard or leave the Zhang family with the ancestral property that you should share with you!
Oh! By the way, you don’t seem to have any ancestral property to divide, because the ancestral property of our Zhang family has been defeated by your father! You should have heard of this!"
"Brother, do our daughter's family also want to study?" An older girl, who was quite familiar with Zhang Junping, asked in a low voice timidly.
"Of course, the daughter of the Zhang family also needs to understand poetry and books. Not only poetry and books, but also female red can't be left behind!
Our daughters who went out of the Zhang family do not ask you to become heroines, but you must also be well-educated and polite!" Zhang Junping was still very gentle to these sisters, with a gentle smile on his face.
After Zhang Junping made a speech, he then said: "Four sisters go back and tell your mother, just say what I said, the daughter of the Zhang family does not bind her feet!"
Foot binding began in the Song Dynasty. Although it was not as inhumane as the later period, foot binding began to become popular.
They are all created by those literati and poets who have nothing to do after eating. These sluts like to play with their feet, so they advocate the beauty of feet.
Although they have no power to tie a chicken, they have the right to speak. Although women know that foot binding is not good, it is a destruction of their body and mind, they are unable to resist. They are born with dependence on men and can only endure the pain of foot binding to please men.
The reason why Zhang Junping specifically said was that he discovered that his sisters had also begun to bind their feet.
This must be the masterpiece of some unreliable second uncle.
"Our great-grandfather, Ling Duo, made great contributions to the Zhang family through martial arts.
Although our Zhang family has been studying literature since our Weng Weng, and by my father, your uncle has become a civil servant.
However, our Zhang family built a family based on martial arts after all, so while studying literature, we cannot abandon the family’s martial arts!
Starting from today, practice martial arts here at Mao hour, eat at Chen hour, and go to the academy to study at three o’clock! Have lunch at three o’clock, start reading at three o’clock, eat supper at You hour, practice martial arts at Xu hour, and rest at Hai hour!" In the martial arts performance field, Zhang Junping once again told everyone about his work and rest.
After saying that, he did not give his younger brothers and sisters the opportunity to express his opinions. The Zhang family now does not need democracy, but dictatorship.
At least before several younger brothers passed the imperial examination, or even before they put on red clothes, the Zhang family needed dictatorship.
Zhu Yi is an official uniform of the fifth rank or above.
The simple difference between the clothing of officials in the Song Dynasty was that they were wearing blue official uniforms above the ninth rank, green official uniforms above the seventh rank, red official uniforms above the fifth rank, and purple official uniforms above the third rank.
There was a word in the Song Dynasty that described a family of high-ranking officials, called "Mountain Family of Zhu Zi", which means that the family is full of high-ranking officials of the fifth rank or above.
"Okay, now everyone runs with me!" Zhang Junping took the lead in running around the martial arts field.
The martial arts field is very large, with a total area of 300 square meters and a circle of about 200 meters.
"Why are you standing there? Run!" Zhang Junping ran a lap and saw that everyone was still in a daze, and howled loudly.
"Agui, you can run with me too!" Zhang Junping shouted to Zhang Gui who was serving him again.
According to this era, Zhang Gui gave birth to a child from his family.
Everyone ran with Zhang Junping in panic.
"Don't worry, pay attention to the breathing rhythm and the pace!" Zhang Junping slowed down and followed them, correcting some key points for running.
If you talk about the key points of running a hundred times, it is better to let them experience it while running.
"One, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one!" From today on, strange shouts rang out from the backyard of Zhang Mansion.
For this reason, Emperor Zhenzong specially dispatched the Imperial City Department to investigate the matter.
