After Dressing Up As a Princess, Engaged In Infrastructure Construction

A poor family in Kongcheng can never have only one child.

Unless he can't give birth to himself.

Because they divorce their wives when they can't give birth. Only when you can't give birth will give up.

Even for farmers.

They always have to give birth to a son, otherwise they feel that the backbone is broken, and outsiders will point at them, saying that they have no children and no grandchildren.

Therefore, it is necessary to give birth, to continue to give birth.

The poorer you are, the more you have to give birth. If you give birth to a daughter, you will sell it, or raise it to give your son a betrothal gift. If some people are really poor, they can change their parents.

Daughter seems to be a commodity, a commodity that can be destined to be exchanged, living without a sense of existence at home.

So they have never been loved, they don't know what it means to be pampered. Before Wan'er came, even if they were rescued, they felt inferior because they had entered the brothel. They didn't plan to marry or start a family. They just wanted to stay in this village, embroidering, dyeing, and making clothes every day. Clothes, such a life is already very good.

They are indeed afraid of men, crawling out of hell, they are naturally afraid of ghosts.

When Xiao Taohong first agreed to Wan'er's willingness to work in the tofu shop, she was also biting her head. Because she wanted to earn some money to buy some books for Xiao Huan'er.

Xiao Huan'er was that little girl who was only five years old. When she was sold, her whole body was covered with wounds. The wounds were not caused by the person who bought her, but by her parents.

So Xiao Huan'er didn't feel panic when she came to the place where no one beat her and gave her food. She laughed every day, so the bustard named her Xiao Huan'er.

But every time Xiao Taohong is worried. Xiao Huan'er laughed so well, she was heartbroken just looking at her, could there be beasts staring at her.

She was not allowed to laugh when she was brought up to her own side.

What laughing? What do you like?

Her laughter is a knife for suicide. It is better for her to be a villain and scold her for not laughing.

Fortunately, Xiao Huan'er can laugh now, and she also likes reading.

Xiao Taohong just wanted to buy her a Three Character Classic.

She didn't think about anything else, she just thought that she could read and write, recognize her own name, and read road signs when she went out in the future.

Everyone thinks like this, they think very simple, even if it is to read, just a book is enough.

After reading a book and going out to work, will it be better? Is it possible to earn more money?

But one day, someone told them.

—Not for anything else, just because you can read.

This made them unable to recover for a long time.

- People like them can also read?

- People like them are also worthy of reading?

Wan'er sat down and asked them something that will never be forgotten.

"Why do you lose the right to education because of poverty? Why do you have to make way for your brothers because it is a daughter's home?"

It shouldn't be like this, they are also born bright pearls.

She wrote in a letter to Sun Xiang in the evening: "I saw vitality on their faces, I heard them begin to imagine the future, and I was sincerely happy. However, I realized one thing more deeply."

"When we continued to implement primary schools, there were more and more girls in primary schools. We looked happy, but we ignored their previous generation, or rather, their sisters."

"The government issued a decree, saying that it can reduce the number of repairs, and that it can take out loans for repairs, so they tried their best to tighten the belt and sent him to school, but at the same time, they also decided to sell their daughters. body."

"When most of the boys in Kongcheng couldn't get their bundles, they first sold their daughters. After selling their daughters, they began to sell the old cattle. When the cattle were sold out, they had to start selling the land."

So my daughter is no better than an old cow.

She thought about it and continued to write in the letter: "Back then, my parents sold me like this. At this time, their parents sold them like this. In the future, I don't know if anyone will sell their daughters. ?"

Human suffering should not start with a daughter.

But the suffering in the world, always likes to use "a girl's house" to start the trouble.

But is this fair?

"I found what I can do in my life, Mr. Sun Xiang, I hope that one day, half of the seats in elementary school, high school, and university will be my daughter's house."

"If I don't do it when I die, then it will be done by my disciple, and it will be done by the disciple of the disciple. One day... one day, right?"

…

"In a storybook, there is always a protagonist, and the protagonist has a halo." When Zhe Qing received the message that the female gentleman in Kyoto was going to Sizhou Kongcheng in a group, he felt a little ups and downs, leaned on the railing to one side, and said to Zongtong: "But there are all living beings. , how can each have the protagonist halo? Those who don't have the protagonist halo..."

She looked into the distance, her eyes were faint, and she sighed: "It's like the girls in Kongcheng, like a group of ants, struggling hard, but they don't know what they are struggling with."

"The so-called prodigal son is a man, and the so-called change against the sky is a noble person."

"All that is left for them is the sorrow of one place."

Zhe Qing turned around, walked down the stairs slowly, and said in a calm tone, "A Tong, you said that people are ants, is it wrong?"

However, Zongtong could hear the anger in her heart, so she thought about it and said, "Isn't Your Highness opening a way to survive for the ants?"

Zhe Qing was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "I still can't split them, so I can only raise them slowly, grow bigger and bigger, and kill a person with one foot."

But after a pause, she said again: "I shouldn't use ants as a metaphor for them..."

Forget it, she laughed, "It's getting better and better, that's what I want."

Zongtong followed her outside.

It was already the beginning of July, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the hot people couldn't breathe.

Zongtong's umbrella worked, and then two drops of water dripped down.

It was obviously washed.

Zhe Qing: "…"

She was silent for a while, and then said, "How about you bring two umbrellas with you? One to kill and one to shade me?"

She said: "The main reason is not that this umbrella has killed people, but the difference between this umbrella and the umbrella is very big. If you don't believe me, go back and ask. This umbrella is made of different materials."

Zongtong also remained silent for a while, then tilted his head and nodded, "Your Highness, I understand."

Zhe Qing sighed.

Generally, Zongtong answers like this, but they don't understand.

Forget it, she thought, just cover it up, it's been covered up for so many years anyway.

So she went downstairs and went to take the carriage. Today is another day for her private visit.

The visit was Mr. Ouyang's home.

Ever since Wan'er went to Sizhou, rumors about the girls' school have been rumored, especially in Kyoto.

At first, no one wanted to go, but a female gentleman surnamed Ouyang stood up. This female gentleman came from a famous family. She started to study when she first came out with the word Yu. When she started to have books such as arithmetic, she also began to buy books and go back to calculate. Later, after she had an elementary school, she successfully applied for the job of Mr. Elementary School.

Zhe Qing remembered her.

This is the first female Mr.

After Wan'er left, she visited several educated ladies, and only then did these ladies nod their heads.

Like Wan'er, she is also great.

When Zhe Qing arrived in front of her house, he handed a sign to the person at the door.

The brand belonged to Sun Xiang, and she borrowed it. Sure enough, someone like a woman in charge came out quickly and asked, "But Lord Sun Xiang?"

She probably didn't know Sun Xiang.

Zhe Qing shook his head, "I am relatives with Mrs. Sun Xiang, and she gave me this brand. I want to see Mrs. Ouyang today. It was Mr. Sun Xiang who asked me to discuss important matters with Mrs. Ouyang. I wonder if it is convenient or not?"

The old woman said hesitantly, "Madam... Madam is out."

Zhe Qing paused, "It's really abrupt and disturbing to come here."

Just as he was talking, he heard a female voice from inside, "Who said I'm gone?"

A cold voice said: "You are getting more and more arrogant, you even dare to talk nonsense."

The old woman said in horror: "Yes...Yes, it was the servant who remembered it wrongly, thinking that the lady was not in the mansion."

Then he looked straight at Zhe Qing, and when he saw it, a surprised look appeared on his face, and he said respectfully, "...Girl, please come inside."

This is recognized.

Zhe Qing smiled, went inside, went around the veranda, and walked to a pavilion, where he saw Mr. Ouyang kneeling directly and saluting, "Your Highness, you came to the mansion, but something happened?"

Zhe Qing said: "Wen Jun is going to Sizhou tomorrow, so he came to talk to Mr.

Ouyang knew that this was probably the case.

She smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, court lady..."

As a result, before the words were finished, another old woman came forward in anger and said, "Okay, how dare you disobey my order!"

The old woman did not recognize Zhe Qing.

She was furious, "Ouyang Wenning, don't be too arrogant."

Mr. Ouyang sighed and explained to Zhe Qing: "This is my mother, she doesn't want to let me go, she is making trouble with me."

The old woman didn't look at Zhe Qing, but said: "What's the trouble - even if the world changes again, filial piety will never change, and I'm good enough for you - you are a woman and you want to go out to teach, I don't want to, but I am also willing to respect you, but what about you? Now that you are more and more unfilial, I let you go, but you have to make an inch, and this time you have to go to Sizhou!"

She scolded: "Where can there be a woman like you? If you leave, what will happen to the children and husband at home? Don't you want this home?"

These words are very marketable, Zhe Qing can think that an old lady from a noble background has already said such words, thinking that she has already said all other decent words.

She looked at Ouyang Wenning and thought about it: "If your husband is willing, I can also help your husband and let him go to Sizhou to become an official."

Sizhou is short of people.

But Ouyang Wenning shook his head, "His Royal Highness, he has his way, I have my way, my way, he can't interfere, and I don't ask about his way."

Then he turned his head and said to the old woman: "Mother, I have said many times, before I married your family, before marrying your son, I was Ouyang Wenning. Going to Sizhou is what I want to do, you It is impossible to overwhelm me with my children and my husband."

She was thirty-five years old. She married at fifteen. In the same year, she gave her husband a concubine. She gave birth to a son at seventeen.

Thirty-five years old, this spring, my son gave birth to another son.

In fact, looking back on the past, she was already very good. She came from a good background, and because she was the youngest, her parents and siblings loved her, so what she wanted to do, everyone was willing to let her do it, which developed her strong character.

After getting married, her husband was weak and obeyed her words and could not suppress her at all. The son is also obedient, and the daughter-in-law is filial. She has been a husband for so many years, and no one in the family has said anything bad except her mother-in-law.

This time, she was going to Sizhou. Even if they didn't understand, they never stopped her.

They are right to her, and she is right to them.

She has always been a sane person. So her mother-in-law used her family to press her and wanted to use her family to make her stay, but she was unwilling.

Everyone has their own ideas, some people miss home, some don't.

She was only thirty-five, and she wanted to do more.

She turned around, ignored her mother-in-law, knelt down towards Zhe Qing, put her hands on the ground, and gave a big salute, saying, "Your Highness, the minister's wife has been in charge of the family's lintel and the small family for half her life, it should be the minister's wife who lives for herself. already."

"The will of the minister's wife is the final will. The journey of the minister's wife will not be blocked by anyone. The heart of the minister's wife is as firm as a rock."

"So, Your Highness doesn't need to tell the court lady, and you don't need to worry about the court lady. These are all actions made by the court lady after careful consideration."

Zhe Qing said with emotion: "Since you think so clearly, why call yourself a court lady."

Ouyang Wenning paused and said with a smile, "It's the minister who made a mistake."
