Xu Hao didn't know that it was twenty miles away from Xiaojia Village, and there was a small village like "Peach Blossom Spring" in the deep mountains.

The place outside has entered the prosperous era, and there is still a stay in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the customs and habits of the Song Dynasty still retain the legacy of the Song Dynasty.

The village is small and the traffic is very closed, but the communication between the villagers and the outside world is still very frequent, but there is a spiritual emperor family in the village, which really rules the villagers.

Speaking of the surname of this family, even Xu Hao can't help but be in awe, the last year of the Southern Song Dynasty was known for its tragic and fierce naval battle of Yashan, and finally did not want the emperor to be humiliated again, and held the little emperor to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea The descendants of the minister Lu Xiufu.

The highest reputation in the village is three people with the surname Lu, the first is the first time after the founding of the Ming Dynasty to pass the Lu Ju people, so that the village with one surname no longer needs to pay taxes, the village population is not large, the land is barren, and the officials respect the descendants of Lu Xiufu, and do not care.

After the middle examination, Lu Juren did not continue the imperial examination, probably because he didn't want to eat the Zhu family's money, and chose to teach the children to read sages in the village for the rest of his life.

The second is the spiritual leader of the village people, Mrs. Lu, in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, can be called the literary Beidou of the local Shilin, it is said that many children of the Xiao family have worshiped him as a teacher, Lu Juren is his second son, unfortunately the person has passed away.

The third is the patriarch of the Lu clan ancestral hall who now maintains a qiē customs and etiquette in the village, named Lu Hanchen, with a medium build, a thin body, and is over sixty years old this year, with a skinny appearance, but his eyes remain clear and bright, and his legs and feet are still dexterous.

No matter how paradise is, in the face of the rapid changes in the external environment, the young generation with fluctuating hearts are unwilling to stay in the village of peace and poverty for the rest of their lives, especially the young people who secretly ran out to study for a few years.

But Lu Hanchen thinks that he is adhering to the ancestral teachings. He has devoted his life to the maintenance of Lujia Village, which is "to Jun Yao Shun Shang, and then to make the customs pure", and is bent on saving this people's hearts from the declining wind of the ancient world. Looking down on any aspect of the Ming Dynasty, it is believed that the ancestors before the Song Dynasty created zào and adhered to the Yiqiē code system and Qiē humanistic customs were the best.

Xu Hao couldn't quite understand that there was any significant difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty in terms of Confucian ethics and morality, ideological and behavioral norms handed down by Confucius? Who knows that Lu Hanchen suspects that since the Yuan Dynasty, Confucianism has infiltrated the Taoist concept of nothingness and tranquility, as well as some Buddhist concepts of good and evil karma.

Thinking that when the heroes rose together, the late old lady Lu looked forward to supporting the Song family. With the power of the Lu family in Lujia Village, he wanted to raise the banner of King Qin, but later I heard that who was still the old Zhao family? It's obviously in vain, and there's only a chance to shake your head and sigh.

Because of this, Mrs. Lu and her eldest son Lu Hanchen did not want to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and wanted to establish the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty in Lujia Village. It is to be punished according to the ancestral rites.

Lu Hanchen insisted on offering the "Divine Throne of Heaven and Earth Monarch and Teacher" on the shrine in his house, and in front of the divine throne there was also a long live monument to the current emperor, long live long live the long live monument, and secretly changed the concept, in fact, it was dedicated to the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Because he doesn't know what the name of the current holy year should be if the Southern Song Dynasty is not extinguished, anyway, he can be comforted by having a long live monument, and in addition, the long live monument will not be suspicious.

Every other day. Worried that the Banzai monument will linger in the dust, after fasting and bathing, please respectfully invite the sign down. A new look of brushing. As he got older, the more he relied on his only spiritual support, and the more he hated "Da Ming". He objected to some people changing the "god position of heaven and earth monarch and teacher" to "the god seat of the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty".

He also hated Zhu Gaochi's year name, but in terms of documents and contracts, it must be recognized by the Ming Dynasty government to have legal effect, and he could not object to writing a certain year of Hong Xi, but in the official sacrificial ceremony, or when worshipping the ancestors during the New Year's festival, he insisted on writing a certain year of Xiangxing in the Great Song Dynasty, "Xiangxing" is the last little emperor's year name, when Lu Xiufu was the prime minister of Zuo.

In his back room, there are still the "quiet" and "avoidance" brands handed down by the ancestors who served as officials in the Southern Song Dynasty, especially a black gauze hat of the Song Dynasty with exquisite workmanship, and a four-person sedan chair that has long been rotten. With a history of nearly 200 years, every year you have to take out two brands and official uniforms, bask in the sun, wash them clean, and even carry the official sedan chair out to rest and paint, otherwise it will fall apart long ago.

It seems that Lu Hanchen is ready to obey the call of the Great Song Emperor at any time and use these things, and later saw that the old Zhao family would ascend to the dragon throne again It was undoubtedly a fantasy, and he would no longer hold a cleaning ceremony once a year, but he still often went to that room alone, touched those sacred things, was in a daze, and finally sighed before coming out.

Lu Hanchen objected to a new gadget, refused to use all carriages, sofas, clocks, etc., made clothes out of village silk or coarse cloth, wrote on yellow clay paper from the village paper mill, read antique thread-bound books, and lit local tung oil lamps.

There was only one compromise that was compromised, and that was the fact that the newly-made match was much more convenient than a stone sickle and flint. Although he was powerless to prevent the government-run national primary school, and he could not prevent the children of his Lu clan from going to school and reading the superficial and boring Chinese textbooks of "people, hands, feet, knives, rulers, mountains, water, fields, dogs, cows, sheep" and "the sky is blue, the water is clear", but he had the right to restrict the children of the Lu clan who had status and education to study in the Lu family's Yixue established in the name of the clan with the public property of the ancestral hall.

Xu Hao is very familiar with stubborn old men like Lu Hanchen, and there are such old generations nowadays, just like those old scholars who missed the feudal dynasty during the Republic of China.

Lu's Yixue is the same as Xu ethnology, the older generation almost all disdain the new learning, talking about the "righteous self-cultivation, Qi family governing the country and leveling the world" in the university, "the monarch and the minister, the father and the son", the Analects of "the son says to learn and learn, and does not also say", the poetry of "Guan Guan Pheasant Dove, in the River Island", as well as "the love of qi, the floating one is the sky, the turbidity of the air, and the flying and sinking one is the earth", "the heaven and the earth are yellow, the universe is desolate", "Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang". ”

Although the Four Books and the Five Classics are still the mainstream, the times always have to move forward, and the new primary school is simple and interesting, regardless of identity and no tuition, and the effect is definitely stronger than the old school.

In particular, Xiaojia Village is the base camp of the new school, and the children are especially afraid of the whip in the hands of Mr. Private School, which is made of bauhinia bamboo and deliberately has knotted scars. The traditional teaching method is very strict, slapping palms, spanking is commonplace, in short, in recent years, there are fewer and fewer students in the ancestral hall, and the few children doze off while listlessly reciting "Zi Yue" and "Poems".

Lu Hanchen is powerless to compete with the general trend, as if he is clinging to the last idea in the turbulent torrent, and like thousands of Ming Dynasty people, he can't stop other people's children, so he defends his father's right to teach his children, pays more and more attention to the education of his daughter's three obediences and four virtues, and sticks to the last position of women's festivals.

He insisted on advocating the creed that "a woman's lack of talent is virtue", and did not advocate that girls go to school, let alone that girls go to new schools. Because once a woman goes to school, she will be sensible, she will be cranky, especially when she goes to a new school, girls will understand the "difference between men and women", and they will be moved by the opposite sex at a young age. It's simply a state of barbarian beasts, incestuous writing, which can be tolerated!

Interestingly, a scholar like Lu Hanchen advocates that girls should recognize a few words in order to read the ancient precepts of "female taming" and other three obedience and four virtues. So much so that the women of the Xu family were out of control after becoming literate.

Like the epitome of thousands of feudal society, to this day, Xiaojia Village and Lujia Village want women to know how to "keep chastity from the beginning" and "keep chastity".

Because no matter how nagging he is, the remarriage of the Song and Ming dynasties is still active, so Lu Hanchen, like the government, did everything possible to show extreme respect for those women who remained chaste and remained unchanged until death, and they all set up a chastity archway for them.

There are no more and no less chastity arches in Xiaojia Village, whether people are willing to remarry or not, what does it have to do with Xu Hao? I have never cared, and Lujia Village due to the attention of the patriarch, there are many arches of chastity, almost every three households have a household, the archway of chastity built up with bluestone on the road is magnificent, it is a scene of Lujia Village.

As for those widows who are unchaste, unlike the tolerance of Xiaojia Village, it varies from case to case, Lu Hanchen must be punished in accordance with the family law of his ancestors, get the adulterer and adulterer to the ancestral hall, tie them up naked, carry them through the streets with mandarin baskets, and suffer humiliation, and then tie a stone pier to their bodies and throw them into the river to sink into the river.

Xu Hao's three ancient things that he hated the most, one was the archway of chastity, one was Shenhe, and the other was foot binding, and Lujia Village was all together.

Yesterday, Lu Hanchen asked someone to find him, saying that he wanted to declare the chastity archway to the widow Wu Wang, who had been famous in the village for decades, and the chastity archway of Lujia Village was set up by himself in the past, but this time he figured out that Guò Xu Hao recommended and reported to the Ministry of Rites, so that the archway can be engraved with the word gilded saint, and can be guarded with an engraved dragon.

In the past, it was "the chastity arch of a certain clan", this time I don't know why, Lu Hanchen wanted to engrave the "chastity archway of the xx clan of the Qin order x product of the order of the people."

Xu Hao felt very strange, it was understandable why he was looking for himself to ask for the title of Mrs. Command, no, at most, he invited the title of "Qin Destiny", but why did the eldest master of the Lu family value the Wu Wang family so much?

After inquiring, I found out that Lu Hanchen was just a hypocrite with inconsistencies! (To be continued......)
