"Brother Zhu, how can the academy allow a woman to be a teacher? Women are supposed to obey the three obediences and four virtues, but she came to this academy. It's really out of order! Besides, a woman," the man sneered, "I'm afraid she doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters. How can she do that?" Give us a lecture? If you don’t go on strike, how will the head of the mountain know that this decision is clearly a big mistake.”

The student spoke righteously, and many people echoed him.

There were also many students who showed hesitation and did not fully agree. They just looked at Zhu Yingtai and hoped that he would make up his mind.

Liang Shanbo who was standing on the side wanted to say something, but Zhu Yingtai stopped him with a gesture and shut his mouth suffocatingly.

When Ma Wencai saw that Zhu Ying had no expression on his face and his lips were tightly pursed, he knew that he was unhappy.

Naturally he would be upset, which Marvin fully understood and could almost imagine.Belittle women in front of a woman, but this one is still the best among women, with knowledge, literary talent, and even martial arts are better than many men.

Ma Wencai felt a pain in the face for the speaker.

Considering Zhu Yingtai's emotions, he strode over and said in a loud voice: "What this brother said is definitely biased."

The man gave Marvin a sideways glance, hummed, and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Ma Wencai showed a somewhat contemptuous smile, walked past him with his head held high, walked up to Zhu Yingtai and stood still, and said, "Sage Confucius once said, 'When three people walk together, there must be my teacher,' but Brother Tai kept saying Saying that this female gentleman cannot give you a lecture is really contrary to what the sages said."

The man arched his hands towards the north to show his respect for Confucius, and said: "It is true that as Confucius said, this young lady may indeed have something for us to learn from," the man smiled and shook his head when he said this, looking at Ma Wencai His eyes seemed to be looking at an ignorant young child, "But these are not what we men should learn. It has long been stated in the Book of Rites, 'Women do not come out for ten years, and the mother teaches the childbirth to obey, and hemp is used to cure the disease. Silk cocoons, weaving and composing, learn from women to share clothes, observe in sacrifices, accept wine syrup, beans, scorpions, and help each other to lay down.' And 'men don't talk about the inside, women don't talk about the outside.' Mr. Ma, don't you think Are you going to learn from a female celebrity?"

The few who were leading the class strike laughed.

Ma Wen was not in a hurry or angry, opened his eyes slightly, and asked, "Oh? Brother, what do you mean, every word and every sentence in the Book of Rites should be regarded as a standard and practiced?"

When Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo saw this expression on his face, they knew that he was going to play tricks, so they held back their laughter.

Those people rushed to say: "This is natural." "The Book of Rites is the standard for the world's conduct."

Ma Wencai showed a puzzled expression, and said, "But there is one thing I don't understand."

"Let's go ahead."

"In the book of rites, there is a chapter: "The general manager of the comb, the crown and the tassel, the gentry, and the wat. Wear it on the left and right, and wear it on the left, knives, whetstones, small scorpions, gold flakes, and on the right. Defend, Guan, Xun, Daxie, Musui, force, Qi.'" Ma Wencai slowly recited the book, "Shenyi Chapter said again: 'Short, don't see the skin, long, don't be soiled.'"

These sentences all involved the dress code, and Marvin looked at the clothes on the man's body from side to side.He was wearing the most popular wide-sleeve coat nowadays, with a loose collar that exposed a piece of his chest, the hem of the clothes dragged on the ground, and the bottom of the sleeves almost fell to the ground.Following the words Marvin spit out and his eyes looking up and down, the man subconsciously tidied up his clothes.

"Don't do to others what you don't want." Ma Wencai sighed, "Brother, you don't use the book of rites to restrain yourself, why do you use it to restrain women!" Zhu Yingtai had sympathy in her eyes.Even if she behaves like a man in normal times, she cannot escape the derogation and objectification of women in ancient times.

Zhu Yingtai was looked at inexplicably again.

The classmate blushed, flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "I don't want to pay attention to your meaningless sophistry. Women in this world should regard men as heaven. They need to rely on men everywhere. They obey their father at home and their husband when they get married. , Husband dies and obeys son, how can I tolerate her as our teacher!"

Ma Wencai's face turned cold. He himself was somewhat machismo, and he believed that men should be humble and take care of women, but he couldn't accept this kind of straight male cancer thinking in ancient times.

"In the Book of Changes, the two hexagrams 'Qian' and 'Kun' refer to men and women, and 'Kun is the earth and the mother'. 'Zai Kun Yuan, all things are born, and they follow the sky. Kun is thick and carries things, and the virtue is boundless.' Qian and Kun, yin and yang, the two are opposite and also produce each other. You only know that women depend on men, but you don’t know how human generations can continue if there are no women.”

Ma Wencai took a slight step, blocking Zhu Yingtai behind him, and said again: "You look down on the wise bachelor of women in the world in every word. I only ask you. There are only nine women, do you remember this sentence? Do you know who this woman is? Compared with you and me, how is she talented? Is she worthy of being your teacher?"

This woman is the wife of King Wen of Zhou and the mother of King Wu of Zhou, Taisi.According to legend, Taisi was kind, loving and reasonable, and King Wu regarded her as one of the ten courtiers who governed the country.Confucius did not include her among his courtiers because she did not hold an official position in the government.But her ability is beyond doubt.

The questions that Ma Wencai threw out one after another made the man unable to answer a sentence.

Ma Wencai sneered, and said: "The Master said: 'The year is cold, and then the pines and cypresses wither after you know it'. You haven't seen that lady, and you haven't heard her lectures, so you are not ashamed to say that she doesn't know a lot of characters. You can't give us lectures, I don't know you have the ability of such a prophet. Why don't you do some calculations to see when you can be an official?"

"You! You!" Pointing at Ma Wencai, the man choked out a sentence of "What's the point?", flung off his sleeves, and rushed out the door.

Ma Wencai arched his hands, bowed to the other students, and said, "Wencai got angry for a while, and lost his composure. He was really rude. Please forgive me."

The people around were still in shock and didn't come to their senses, they subconsciously returned the salute, saying "No never" and "Be polite".

"Brother Yihua is concerned about the academy, and he is also worried." Zhu Yingtai stepped forward, said with a slight smile, and then changed the topic, "However, Yingtai also thinks the same way. It is unwise to strike a class. Even if you don't believe it Girl, can you still not trust the head of the mountain? Mr. Zhou must have nodded in agreement when Mr. Song gave lectures, and he thought Mr. Song could be a lecturer, so Yingtai naturally believed."

Those students had already been shaken in their hearts, and now they nodded repeatedly.

Zhu Yingtai gave a final push and said: "Take a step back, if Mr. Song really doesn't have much talent, we just don't go to her class. If we don't even listen to Mr. Zhou and other gentlemen's classes, wouldn't it be A big loss."

"Brother Zhu is right!" "I believe in Brother Zhu!"

No matter what the students in the yard were thinking, they all echoed it, and left immediately.

Marvin let out a long sigh of relief.

Liang Shanbo sighed: "Yihua, you never talked clearly before, and I thought you were not good at words. I didn't expect you to be so eloquent as to challenge the Confucians."

Ma Wencai shook his hand, then shook his head, and said with an air of gossamer: "It's just because of the momentary anger, now I'm afraid."

Liang Shanbo smiled, and asked Zhu Yingtai: "Xinzhai, why didn't you let me talk before?" It was a pity to say something.

Zhu Yingtai laughed, and said: "Shanbo, I know you have a straightforward temperament. I'm afraid that some of those people who come here are not kind. I'm afraid that you will be provoked by them and get angry for nothing. Unexpectedly, brother Yihua turned the tide and became a blockbuster."

"Xinzhai, don't make fun of me," Ma Wen said begging for mercy, "I know you can handle them, but I don't want to make you angry because of those words."

"Why should I be angry for those words?" Zhu Yingtai wondered.

"It's fine if you don't get angry." Ma Wencai thought that he really didn't care, and secretly praised that she was really a strange woman with an extraordinary bearing.

The turmoil of not being tired of living in the house calmly subsided, but the undercurrent caused by the female teacher in the academy was still brewing.

Zhou Shanzhang seemed unaware of this, and quickly arranged Mr. Song's class and posted it at the main entrance of Zhengyiyuan.There was her poetry class the next afternoon.

Many students dropped out of class that day, and even more in the afternoon, some even wrote a large article and posted it next to the notice.

The article was still full of clichés, and at the end it said that if the academy did not cancel Mr. Song’s lectures and expel her, the student would be so disappointed in the academy that he would not be able to continue studying at Nishan Academy.In other words, in addition to strikes, he has already started threatening to withdraw from school.

However, until Mr. Song's class was about to start, Mr. Zhou still had no movement.There is already an undercurrent among the students, which may erupt at any time.

Both Ma Wencai and Liang Shanbo asked Zhu Yingtai what Mr. Zhou would do.

Zhu Yingtai analyzed: "Before the establishment of Nishan Academy, Mr. Zhou was a well-known Qingliu celebrity among poor families, and his personality was also very noble and proud. Some people admired him very much, while others hated him deeply. With his character, I will never be threatened by others, since I have decided to appoint Mr. Song, I will not change it easily."

"Could he let so many students leave the academy?" Liang Shanbo was worried.More than a dozen students have signed their signatures to support that article.

"Probably not," Ma Wencai said, "Mr. Zhou must have his own considerations. Although he is arrogant, he doesn't seem to be that stubborn."

"Yes, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems." Zhu Yingtai smiled slightly, and said, "Let's wait and see what happens, and go and meet Mr. Song who Mr. Zhou insisted on being included in the academy." Walking slowly Mr. Song's lecture hall.

When the hour just arrived, a young woman stepped into the room slowly from the main entrance.She is dignified yet light, wearing an indigo skirt, dressed as a woman, exuding a light floral fragrance when she moves.

The few students in the lecture hall were stunned when they saw her appear, and then realized that this young, elegant and delicate woman was actually Mr. Song.
