"Hey! Daddy's Changsheng, come and let daddy hug you."
He quietly waited for Wei Jingxian to feed the child and burp. Only then did he reach out to take Changsheng. His face was full of love.
"Alas, I haven't seen you for half a day and you look better."
Feng Jin didn't even need to write a draft when he praised his daughter.
Changsheng also particularly liked the refreshing smell on his body. She subconsciously got close to him. With her big bright eyes, the father and daughter looked at each other. Changsheng would occasionally make a strange gurgling sound. She grinned, revealing her bright red gums.
Seeing the father and daughter talking in the same language, Wei Jingxian pursed her lips and chuckled. Her eyes were full of happiness.
After playing for a while, Changsheng began to feel sleepy. Feng Jin put her back on the bed and took out a book from his sleeve.
It was said that if a child listened to more introductory books, they would be more intelligent and would speak earlier than their peers.
Based on the principles of "my daughter will not be bad" and "I love to study, my daughter will love to study too", Feng Jin naturally didn't want his child to lose at the starting point. If she listened more now, maybe when she was old enough to speak and learn, she would be able to speak well.
Because the baby was sleeping on a cot, Wei Jingxian didn't see what book Feng Jin took out.
She let the maidservant wipe her body and felt much better. Only then did she lie back down, feeling sleepy.
During her confinement, she only ate and slept every day. She felt that her bones were stiff.
She wanted to fall asleep with her Langjun's gentle and clear voice, but she didn't know what he was reading!
"… Every woman must first learn to be upright. The only way to be upright is to be chaste. Purity makes the body clean, chastity makes the body glorious … Men and women are different inside and outside. Don't peep at the outer wall, don't go out of the outer courtyard. Don't tell your name to a man who is not your family. Don't date a woman who is not virtuous. Only by being upright can one be a man … "After reading this paragraph, Feng Jin couldn't help but turn to the page again, feeling a little strange.
But the words "Women's Analects" were clearly written on it. Could this book be fake?
Wei Jingxian also felt that something was wrong. She slowly got up and saw Feng Jin turning two pages and reading.
"When a woman marries, her husband is her husband … To compare her husband to the heavens is a sign of righteousness … If your husband is angry, don't be angry. She retreated and gave way to him, swallowing her anger and whispering … A maiden should never leave her room. He could come and go as he pleased. If you don't obey, I will scold you … "
Feng Jin was stunned. He immediately closed the book and picked up the Women's Commandments and flipped through it.
"… A husband has the right to remarry, and a wife has no second wife. That's why it's said that the husband is Heaven. One cannot escape from the heavens, and one cannot leave the man. Those who go against the gods will be punished by the heavens; those who are immoral and righteous will be merciless … "The more Feng Jin read, the stiffer his expression became.
At this moment, Wei Jingxian had already gotten up. She hugged her daughter, who was sleeping on the bed, and covered her ears.
She said sarcastically, "It turns out that my husband likes such obedient girls who are like wooden puppets."
The wronged Feng Jin: "…"
Without waiting for him to speak, Wei Jingxian continued, "If my husband likes her, you can look for her. But Changsheng was born after ten months of pregnancy. I can't wait to spoil her. How can I bear to see her become like this and be abused by other men? I'm tired. My husband, please help yourself. "
Feng Jin, who was still in a daze: "…"
He sat in a daze and flipped through the other two books in disbelief. The contents were almost the same. Almost all of them asked women to be humble and weak, to be docile and docile, to not step out of the house, and to wish they could remove their brains. It was best if they could not think.
How was this raising a daughter? It was clearly raising a female slave. Which proper noble daughter would be so submissive and lowly?
Feng Jin felt that he had been deceived.
As a gifted scholar, he should also have a talented daughter. That would be in line with his character.
What happened to the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women?
What happened to the primer for women?
He had read the pirated version, hadn't he?
Just as Jiang Pengji had said, a man would not only be a father-in-law in this life, but he could also be a father-in-law.
According to the contents of the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women, which woman would not become a mindless blockhead in the end?
A man did not mind marrying a mindless blockhead as his wife because he could choose from other concubines. However, he might not be able to accept his daughter becoming like that, marrying into her husband's family and being abused by others … For a newbie female con like Feng Jin, it was even more intolerable.
He was so angry that he threw the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women out of the carriage. He couldn't wait to reason with Qiguan Rang.
This person was so bad. Why did he give him such filthy things?
He was deliberately causing trouble!
Before that, he felt that it was necessary to clear his grievances. How could he be that kind of man?
"Jingxian, this is a misunderstanding. As your husband, I can't wait to love Changsheng. How could I …"
Before Feng Jin could finish, Wei Jingxian said, "If my husband is really like this, why did you read such despicable books to Changsheng?"
Feng Jin, who felt very wronged: "…"
If he knew the contents were like this, not to mention reading it, he would definitely burn it to keep his daughter away from these "poisonous" things.
"This was given to your husband by Wenzheng just now." In order to stabilize the grape trellis in the backyard, Feng Jin sold Qiguan Rang. "A while ago, I was chatting with Jingxian. Didn't you mention the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women? I thought it was an excellent primer. That's why there was him … "
Speaking of which, he felt very wronged.
Wei Jingxian was not really angry. She was just overreacting for a moment.
At this moment, the sleepy Changsheng opened her eyes slightly. She yawned and squeezed out two drops of tears. She looked at her innocently.
"My husband doesn't know. Nowadays, these four books have become a must-read for noble women in Zhongzhao. They are also regarded as the standard by everyone. Before marriage, the husband's family must present a copy to his future wife. " Wei Jingxian sighed. She looked at Feng Jin with a complicated gaze. She suddenly mentioned someone. "My husband, do you still remember the great scholar of Zhongzhao, Mr. Wan Changzhai?"
Wan Changzhai?
Of course, Feng Jin remembered. He was very familiar with the great scholar of the present age.
"Mr. Wan Changzhai had a fifteen-year-old daughter. Last year, she went to the Buddhist temple to offer incense. She accidentally lost a handkerchief and it was picked up by a ruffian. When the news spread, everyone thought that the girl had an illicit affair with the ruffian. The girl's original engagement was ruined. She was also despised by her fiancé's family for being an unclean girl. The clan elder was deeply embarrassed. While Mr. Wan Changzhai was not at home, he forcefully took the girl away and drowned her. "
"Drowned her?" Feng Jin was stunned.
"When Mr. Wan Changzhai rushed back, his daughter had already drowned. Not only did everyone not think that it was illegal, but they also thought that it protected the girl's chastity. Because her reputation was tarnished, she had an affair with a ruffian. Only death could prove her innocence … "
These things were told to her by her close friends. The more she heard, the more anxious she felt.
"Also, Mr. Wan Changzhai had a sister. She did not get along with her husband's family in the early years, so they separated. To prevent the girl from remarrying and bringing shame to the family, the clan elder also drowned her. Mr. Wan Changzhai was well-known in Zhongzhao, but he could not even protect his own daughter and sister. "
What Wei Jingxian said made Feng Jin feel like he was listening to a heavenly book.
She simply added fuel to the fire. "I heard that there was a noble widow in Zhongzhao … The Wangmen Widow refers to a woman whose husband died before she was married. In order to maintain her chastity, the woman still had to marry the man's memorial tablet. Hence, she was called the Wangmen Widow. The husband's parents felt that their son had passed away and were worried that their daughter-in-law would not be content with her marriage and would not be willing to maintain her chastity for their son … Not to mention having an affair with another man, they did not even allow the daughter-in-law to self-destruct. Hence, they forced the woman to cut off all ten of her fingers to express her determination to maintain her chastity … All these were brought about by the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women. "
