Chapter 473 Self-confidence and methods
Zhao Ruxi smiled slightly: "If Your Highness really wants to be angry, it won't be too late to go to the palace and talk about it after the county examination rankings are announced and the articles on the examination papers are leaked."
Princess Shangde's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands and said, "Yes, that's what I meant."
After the county examination is over, no one can accuse her of interfering in the imperial examination. She will not fight for Zhao Ruxi's case. Anyway, there is a long way to go, and gold will never be buried. But there is no problem in going to give Zhang Li some eye drops in front of the emperor.
After the exam, the top few essays will always be copied out. At that time, she will take these essays to the palace and let the emperor judge. If the emperor also thinks that Zhao Ruxi's essay is good, then the effect of this eye medicine will be
Even better.
Zhao Ruxi felt better when she saw that both of them had lost their previous decadence.
The reason why she was confident that Xiao Ge would rectify her name after reading her article was because her article targeted the current social situation.
After all, she comes from a later generation and is a highly educated social creature. She can see at a glance some of the political ills that people in Jin Dynasty cannot see clearly when they are in the situation, and can give certain solutions.
Because it was a county exam, her article would not look at the big picture, but would focus on the details, so that it would not be too abrupt and give people the feeling of trying too hard. But in terms of both the conception and the depth of the article, she was confident that she was better than many candidates.
Half a year ago, the cultural and literary barriers between her and this era were just differences in the way of expression. In modern times, whether it is a high school argumentative essay or a post-college essay, it is just to put forward a point of view, demonstrate a point of view, and draw a conclusion. The use of
The argument methods are the same. The only difference is that one uses vernacular and the other uses classical Chinese.
After she had memorized and understood dozens or hundreds of classical Chinese texts, and continued to write articles in classical Chinese over the past six months, she had mastered classical Chinese and was able to write classical Chinese essays with outstanding literary talent.
However, her lofty view of the overall situation, political acumen, and novel and unique insights are what the candidates of this era lack.
This was her confidence and confidence to take the imperial examination.
If her articles are compared with those of political officials who have been admitted to the imperial examination and have been working hard in the officialdom for a while, she dare not say that they are better than others. But compared with those who are not even scholars, she is still very confident.
.
Now that the matter was settled, she had something else to say.
She lowered her head slightly, with a face full of shame: "However, even if I am admitted to the Juren or Jinshi, in the end I am afraid I will still be ashamed of His Highness's protective heart and Master Cui's high hopes and expectations."
She raised her head, her beautiful eyes full of apology and sincerity: "Because I can't guarantee that I will really be admitted as a scholar, a scholar, a scholar, or a Jinshi, or that I can serve the court throughout my life like those male candidates, and then die.
.I am not suitable for officialdom. I just want to do simple painting and learning. So after I am admitted to the Jinshi, I may work as an official for a period of time, but in the end I will still live the life I want."
She glanced at Mrs. Cui: "These words were also told to Mrs. Cui when I agreed to take the imperial examination."
Under the modern social system, she was unwilling to pursue an official career. In ancient times, when imperial power, privileges were above all else, and people had to be groveling at every turn, it was even less possible for her to join the officialdom.
In her previous life, she was busy but ended up dying unexpectedly. She finally managed to save her life. In this life, she just wants to paint some paintings, make some money, and do whatever she wants.
She cannot live for others and walk forward with a heavy burden for the sake of the road.
She promised Mrs. Cui to take part in the imperial examination, and if possible, she might also serve as an official for a period of time, but she would not continue to do so. When the situation stabilizes, she will return to herself and live the life she wants to live.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui sighed.
However, she couldn't say anything to Zhao Ruxi.
If Zhao Ruxi was just smart and could only read, she could still give him advice. But now Zhao Ruxi has obviously reached a height in painting that ordinary people cannot reach, and his achievements in painting are even higher.
If she tried to persuade Zhao Ruxi to give up painting and become an official, give up the broad road and take a thorny road that no woman has ever walked before, she might end up being shattered to pieces, she couldn't say it.
Who should be the victim, sacrificing everything for those who come after him?
Even if Zhao Ruxi is willing, Mrs. Cui cannot agree.
Is it too selfish to ask a great painter who can be remembered forever to sacrifice himself for women?
In addition, will women be grateful that Zhao Ruxi has made a sacrifice? No, not only will they not be grateful or understand, but they will spit at her, despise her for showing up and not observing women's ethics. I'm afraid the ones who will attack her the most will be
It's a woman.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She said: "Zhiwei, you made the right choice. Although I really want to change the situation of women, it cannot be changed by you taking an official career. There are many paths, not just being an official. If you paint good paintings,
Becoming a great painter with a long-lasting reputation will set an example for women. I am very touched that you can still take part in the imperial examination with your current achievements."
"What's more, you gave us the idea of running a newspaper so that women can see more articles that change their minds. You have done a better job than me in changing the situation of women. Where do you start talking about the word shame?
."
Princess Shang De laughed at the side: "Okay, don't give in, you are all outstanding."
She looked at Zhao Ruxi with shining eyes: "Zhiwei, the idea you gave us for running a newspaper is a good one. Do you have any other ideas?"
Mrs. Cui perked up and looked at Zhao Ruxi expectantly.
On this issue, Zhao Ruxi also had something to say to them.
She said: "The economic base determines the superstructure. I think only women have a certain financial source, can support themselves and their children, and even make more money than men in the family, becoming the financial support and backbone of the family."
You can stand up straight and have the right to speak in the family. This is the way to truly improve a woman's social status."
"You're absolutely right." Mrs. Cui couldn't help but high-five her.
She has been running a women's academy for so many years. She was full of enthusiasm at the beginning, thinking that through education in the academy, she could improve women's knowledge and change their destiny.
But she found that the women's school could not change the situation of women. Those who could enter the women's school only regarded it as a bargaining chip for women to get married and a tool for advancement. Those who really wanted to use it to change their destiny had no way.
Entering the women's academy. This is an irresolvable contradiction.
Over the years, she has become more and more doubtful about the significance of the existence of women's schools.
But she couldn't think of a better way.
Now Zhao Ruxi's words awakened the dreamer.
