The first thing Ye Yuran talked about was the "Kong family" respected by everyone in the Shentu Dynasty.

Yes, that's right, even though this is a dynasty that has no records at all in history, there is also a "Sage Confucius" who is highly respected by scholars.

The first thing any scholar does when he enters a calligraphy school is to pay homage to Confucius.

When Zhu Qi went to Cen's house to study, he paid homage to him under the guidance of Mr. Cen.

However, the development pattern of this era is completely different from the history that Ye Yuran learned in his previous life. He doesn't know where he turned a corner. After several dynasty changes, the "Shentu Dynasty" emerged as it is now.

Ye Yuran studied the travel notes and history books brought back by Zhu Qi, Dabao, and Erbao, and found that this dynasty was incomparable. It had bronze, but underdeveloped iron tools; it had planting industry, but it did not even have basic paddy cultivation methods.

None; but the feudal ideology of male superiority and female inferiority is quite strong, and the only thing missing is foot binding.

Ye Yuran was very lucky. Fortunately, foot binding was not allowed in this era, otherwise...

How dare she be as "powerful" as she is now with her small feet?

Any man can knock her down.

Another special thing is that although men in this era are a bit chauvinistic, if they are scholars, they still adhere to the "Confucian" gentlemanly style and do not advocate "taking action" on women, that is, using violence.

Ye Yuran didn't know what it was like internally, but externally, there were never rumors of scholars beating their wives.

Once such words are spread, it is extremely embarrassing and will be spurned by others.

But if you are a mud-legged person...

Sorry, they are not that particular. What they adhere to is - this woman will only become more obedient the more she beats her.

As a descendant of Confucius, there are many rules in the Confucius family, ranging from disheveled clothing, vulgar language, improper appearance, laziness, cynicism, to the principles of life and life aspirations, all of which have strict regulations.

Ye Yuran explained what is meant by "a gentleman who is not serious will not be powerful, and who is learned without due diligence", "stand like a pine, sit like a bell, walk like the wind, lie down like a bow", "don't look at what is not polite, don't listen to what is not polite, what is not polite

"Don't say anything, don't do anything that's inappropriate", "Be true to your words and be resolute in your deeds"...

A truly big family, from the head of the family to the hordes of servants below, must always look like this, and people can recognize it at a glance.

These contents greatly attracted Zhu Bamei. She opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe it: "Mom, there really is such a person? Isn't such a person no different from a saint?"

Ye Yuran said with a smile: "So, they are the 'Kong family', a truly wealthy family."

Zhu Bamei was a little excited: "Really?! Mother, can you let me marry into such a family? They sound great!"

She didn't hear anything wrong, she just felt that such people lived a life like a "god", which was so wonderful.

However, Ye Yuran smiled, as if popping a bubble, and asked a question: "Are you sure you really want to marry into such a family?"

Zhu Bamei nodded.

"But, if you want to marry into such a family, you have to become that kind of person first..." Ye Yuran talked a lot about the rules of the Confucius family about women.

You should not open your mouth too wide when eating, what kind of water should be used for drinking tea, and the hairpin on your head should not move when walking...

A set of rules can crush people to death.

Zhu Bamei was taken aback and immediately retreated: "No... isn't it? So many rules?!"

Even if you have to take care of eating, sleeping, and walking, is there still freedom?

Not only that, people are also particular about what they eat every day.

In order to prevent a bad taste in her mouth, she can't eat most of the heavy-flavored things she likes, and she can't eat too much because it's not healthy enough.

"There are so many rules." Ye Yuran nodded, "This is a real wealthy family. If you want to marry into it, you must first follow these 'rules' like them, and you really want to do better than them."

If you are good to others, you will not be able to make mistakes. Otherwise, no one can take care of you at home or outside."

"Why?" Zhu Bamei was dissatisfied, "It's just the family members who take care of it, how come people outside the family can take care of it too?"

Ye Yuran said innocently: "Because of the 'rules'. If you do something that is not in line with the rules of a wealthy family and slap them in the face, then you have to be 'regulated'. Rules are not just about controlling others, but also

Mind your own business.”

Zhu Bamei: "..."

The rules her mother mentioned were a bit too "cruel" for her.

"It doesn't matter. There are too many rules for such high-ranking families. They are usually from scholarly families. It is indeed a bit too difficult. We can change to a simpler one with not so many requirements." Ye Yuran smiled and added the same line of "

"Scholarly Family", they all came in and attacked the other faction, "According to what I said, the military attache's family doesn't have that many rules."

"military attache?"

Zhu Bamei was confused.

Ye Yuran explained that this military attaché obtained his official position by going to the battlefield and establishing military merit.

As for them, there are not so many rules, because most of those who can go to the battlefield are "fighters".

"This kind of people have never read any books and mainly rely on their fists to speak. They are rough guys themselves and can't stand the rules. Naturally, they can't let others tell them." Ye Yuran smiled and explained the benefits of being a military attaché.

come out.

As soon as Zhu Bamei's thoughts were aroused, she poured cold water on her again.

Since they are military attachés, no matter whether they are high or low officials, they all have to "go to the battlefield". In other words, their women never know when their men will come back, and they can only stay behind alone to take care of the family and give birth to children.

Raising children and caring for a large family.

Forget it, if a man gets promoted, he may still take concubines and have children with others.

And the children born to this other person will "compete for the family property" with the children of his legitimate wife when they grow up.

Because there are not so many "rules" in the military attaché family, and there may not be any respect for concubines.

Zhu Bamei blinked her eyes and couldn't react for a while.

Ye Yuran continued: "If you marry a concubine, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you are just going to rob things. If you give birth to a son, you can just rob it with your legitimate wife; but if it is your brother, your nephew will let you marry him."

If you marry a military attache as your legitimate wife, you will be out of luck, because there will be a lot of women who will bear children for your man and rob your man of his property..."

Zhu Bamei: "..."

Suddenly I felt less happy.

Without the rules, she felt "relaxed", but without the "rules", her competitors also felt relaxed.

After talking about scholarly family background and military attache, Ye Yuran finally fell on a businessman.

"I won't explain more about this businessman. You also know what's going on in our family," Ye Yuran said slowly, "It's not that I don't have the ability to make a lot of money, but I won't help you make it. Because once our family is
