Chapter 943 The First Female Historian
However, she did know something about Ban Zhao's deeds, which she heard from the little immortal.
She had seen many people scolding Ban Zhao on the barrage before, and she felt sorry for her.
Life was already very difficult for women in the world, and people in later dynasties continued to do the same, making Ban Zhao bear all the blame.
Feng Ling couldn't help but look at Ban Zhao with a bit more heartache in her eyes.
Ban Zhao met Feng Ling's eyes and smiled at her, indicating that she was fine. If she was really defeated by such a small thing, that would not be her character.
Several people put down their wine glasses, and Li Wu invited the three to eat. Feng Ling ate the full bowl of food that Ban Zhao and Madam Xian had picked for her with difficulty. What could she say? She had to eat it because it showed their concern for her.
"Well, three seniors, I'm not very hungry yet. I've almost finished eating. If I want to eat, just serve myself," Li Wu saw that the three men wanted to serve her food again.
Li Wu said that this was not necessary, really, there was no need, she would get it herself, really, such a full bowl was too heavy.
"Haha, little fairy, please eat more, eat more," Madam Xian said with a smile. The three of them did not serve more food to Li Wu. The little fairy had just eaten such a big bowl, and she had already had enough.
Li Wu nodded, ate some fruit and other things, then looked at Feng Ling, and the two of them looked at each other.
Feng Ling smiled, but it was obvious that she was having great difficulty eating.
Li Wu felt a little guilty. Why did she take so much food? Although she knew it was for their own good, there was no need to take so much food. She couldn't finish it. She simply couldn't finish it. This love was too heavy.
"Ahem, um, now I will start to talk about your deeds, Senior Ban Zhao. Senior Ban Zhao, are you ready?" Li Wu asked. Anyway, she put down the things in her hands. She felt that she was quite full now. She would have to save her stomach for eating while shopping later, so she couldn't eat too much.
"Little Immortal, please speak," Ban Zhao said.
Feng Ling and Madam Xian also began to eat slowly, listening from time to time.
"Speaking of Senior Ban Zhao, there are quite a lot of records about you, and she knows a lot of it.
I know you are a talented woman. Of course there are a lot of misunderstandings, but so what? It's just jealousy of you.
Those who can't stand you but can't do anything to you, just let them be angry," Li Wu covered her mouth and laughed. The way those people couldn't stand her but couldn't do anything to her made her happy.
When Ban Zhao heard this, she nodded and said, "That's right."
Anyway, she is in a good mood now. She has lived for so many years and has experienced everything. She was sad at that time, but she was not sad for herself, but for the women of future generations.
She felt guilty because she was kind, but it wasn't her fault.
"Ahem, Senior Ban Zhao, you are the first female historian in history to compile official history!
You are also a famous talented woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world's earliest educator, female mathematician, female astronomer, writer, and politician. You are known as the "most talented woman in the world" among the four great talented women in ancient China!
Great, great, you are worthy of being Senior Ban Zhao, you are really great," Li Wu was very excited, she liked powerful women, who said that women were inferior to men, at that time it was only because of the limitations of the times that many women were trapped in the harem.
If they could be taught to read and write like men, and go to the battlefield, they would certainly be no worse than men!
Feng Ling looked at Ban Zhao and blinked her eyes. The title of the most talented woman in the world was truly amazing.
It seems that she is indeed a talented woman.
Ban Zhao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the praise from the immortal. She admitted that she had some talent, but she would never accept the title of the most talented woman in the world.
"My little fairy, I just have some talent, but I don't dare to claim to be the best. I absolutely dare not do that. The younger generations who came before me were much more talented than me," Ban Zhao said modestly. She really didn't dare to accept the title of the best in the world. She was still very humble.
The ancestors in front of the sky heard that Ban Zhao had so many titles, such as "jia" and "jia". Although they didn't understand, it sounded like she was very powerful. She must be very powerful.
Moreover, she was said by the immortal to be the most talented woman in the world, which means that what the immortal said must be true and correct, and our ancestors blindly and unconditionally trusted the words of the immortal.
After all, the little fairy is a little fairy. How could they not believe what the little fairy says?
Some talented women did not say anything about the fact that Ban Zhao was the first. After all, they knew Ban Zhao and even admired her very much.
They want to know who the other three of the four talented ladies are, except for the accompaniment. They really want to know this, it is very important to them.
That is a major matter concerning their future.

"I didn't say that. Senior Ban Zhao, you don't have to be modest. You are really amazing. Senior Ban Zhao, your name is Ji, and your courtesy name is Huiban. You come from the famous Fufeng Ban family, a family of Confucian scholars.
You should all remember Senior Ban Chao who came up before, my ancestors. I have also said before that Senior Ban Zhao and Senior Ban Chao were siblings.
Your father, Ban Biao, was a famous historian during the time of Emperor Guangwu of Han, and wrote the Sequel to the Records of the Grand Historian. Your brothers, Ban Chao and Ban Gu, were even more talented in both literature and military strategy, and their names are left in the history of the Han Dynasty.
So under the influence of this kind of atmosphere, you, Senior Ban Zhao, also became knowledgeable and talented, and famous in the village.
When you were 14 years old, Senior Ban Zhao, you married Cao Shishu, a man from the same county.
However, the good times did not last long. Senior Ban Zhao, you and your husband only lived in harmony for a few years before your husband, Cao Shishu, passed away, and you became a widow at a young age.
Since then, Senior Ban Zhao, you have always adhered to the code of conduct for women and never remarried!
If it were in later dynasties, perhaps a chastity arch could be awarded. However, how can I put it? The nature of this thing has changed completely since then. Too many women have been forced to death for this so-called arch.
I have said this before, so please go and see it for yourselves, my ancestors." Li Wu has no good feelings towards the Chastity Arch, because it has killed too many innocent women.
Although the intention was good, it has completely changed.
In the barrage, many emperors said that they had abolished the chastity arches long ago, and things like foot binding and burying people alive with the dead were all abolished.
Once the emperor gave an order, it would naturally be implemented throughout the country. Who would dare to disobey?
If you don't obey, it will be considered as disobeying the imperial decree and you will be beheaded.
"In 92 AD, your elder brother Ban Gu died, but his works, the Eight Tables and Astronomical Records of the Book of Han, were not yet completed."
