Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Chapter 115 Future Thinking and Planning

As night fell, Qiao Shinian lay on the bed, and Wen Jiu, contrary to his usual behavior, lay on the same bed with her.

There was a quilt between the two of them, and the hot night made both of them unable to sleep.

"Wen Jiu, there is one thing I think I am right about. Women in this era are bound. Even if Princess Ping'an is one of the top people, she still has very little experience of the world.

They are not allowed to leave their homes or show their faces in public. If they do something slightly unethical, they will be caught and used as a handle to shame them and gossip about them.

As for the rest, they were not allowed to go out to school and could only hire private tutors at home, and most of their activities were in the backyard.

"Yes, sister, you are right." Wen Jiu agreed sincerely: "So, I will work harder, and we will build the ideal world we want together in the future."

He stared at the veil above the head and breathed slowly.

"If they were as free as men, would things be different? They cannot achieve great things, their achievements can only be reflected in their support of their husbands, raising children and managing the household.

I hardly see any female shopkeepers, female officials or female generals here.

In our country, women have the same freedom of occupation as men.”

Qiao Shinian reached out and took Wen Jiu's hand: "Wen Jiu, so, I still want women to be more free. If we have the ability, we should not do it all at once. We should take steps to let women have freedom and let them see the hope of getting rid of the shackles.

We don't force them. If someone likes to manage the household, they can continue to do housework. If someone likes to do business, they can do business. If someone likes to wield swords and guns, they can wield swords and guns. If someone likes to teach, they can teach...

Then, it connects with my first idea, so that all those who are afraid can find a place to be protected, a place where they can seek justice for the unfair treatment they have received, and no one will feel desperate when their personal safety is not effectively protected. "

"Well, that's a great idea." Wen Jiu replied.

Qiao Shinian held Wen Jiu's hand tightly and asked, "Are you alert and afraid? Why? Aren't we safe tonight?!" After saying this, Qiao Shinian suddenly sat up and looked around.

He asked, "Who is it? Princess Yu'an?"

"No, sister, you think too much." Wen Jiu patted Qiao Shinian's back lightly, speaking in a relaxed tone: "I just thought about what happened to you today, and I should do something for you. Mu Qingchen said he wanted to teach you, which is a good thing. He is a prince who has lived in such an environment for a long time, and he knows more than I do.

He understands people's hearts better than me and has more experience than me."

Qiao Shinian stared at Wen Jiu and said in a softer tone: "Then you, make sure nothing happens to me when I sleep tonight."

"Yeah, I promise."

"That man looks very powerful. I don't have the extra emotions to greet him properly today. I was wrong. Wen Jiu, he came for you. If he didn't want to harm us, he would be a big shot. Look how easily he got to the palace without being noticed."

After being nervous, Qiao Shinian looked at Wen Jiu's reaction and seemed to understand something. After she finished speaking, she asked in a low voice: "If we have something to hide from him in the future, can we prevent him from knowing?"

"It's difficult." Wen Jiu said these two words with difficulty, but he was very disdainful of that man's attitude.

Qiao Shinian didn't say anything. She lay down, rearranged the quilt, and closed her eyes: "I'm going to sleep first. Wait for me to bring you more supplies tomorrow!"

Qiao Shinian closed his eyes and recalled everything that happened today, every word, and every expression of every person in his memory.

She still feels ashamed and embarrassed about herself at that time.

Then he returned to the palace, met Princess Yu'an, listened to her scolding him, and then there was the panicked ant.

To be honest, she probably hadn't noticed a swarm of ants in over a decade.

The panicked ants, this scene seems familiar, I seem to have seen this scene somewhere.

She can't remember.

Ant……

"Yo Yo, what are you doing here?"

“I’m counting ants.”

“Counting ants?”

"Well, I want to know how many ants are in this small mound of earth." Qiao Shinian said as he reached out and skillfully pinched an ant, then put it aside after applying light force.

The people beside him saw the black corpses as big as goose eggs, and their mouths curled up slowly, and they chuckled: "Not a bad choice."

"How many did you count?"

"Now it's five hundred and seventy-one." Qiao Shinian put the ant that he had crushed to death in a convenient place.

"Yoyo, don't you know that we are all looking for you? Grandpa and grandma are very worried."

"It's okay. Now that you've found me, you can go back and tell them that I'm counting ants here, then they won't be anxious." Qiao Shinian didn't look up, but focused on the ant nest in front of her. As soon as an ant came out, she could catch it accurately, then crush it to death and put it aside.

She just wanted to know how many ants were in this nest, but all ants looked the same and loved to run around, so she could only count them one by one.

"Yo yo, they'll be mad if they know you crushed an ant to death."

"what?"

Qiao Shinian looked up blankly. Because of the glare from the sun, she could hardly see the face of the person in front of her.

She asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Because you hurt lives."

"I hurt a life?" Qiao Shinian murmured, she was a little overwhelmed: "What should I do?"

"It's very simple. We can get away with it by telling a little lie. It's not a big deal."

"But every time I cheat, I get caught lying."

"So, I will teach you a way to lie that is unique to you. It is very simple. Before you lie, lay the groundwork with five parts of emotion, add one part of a lie, and then use three parts of honesty. End with ignorance and innocence, and finally bury the evidence."

"Just like this!" I saw the white and tender little hand picked up a branch and dug up the soft and dry soil next to it, kicked the corpses of the ants in and pressed the soil down and flattened it. Finally, I looked at the ant nest, dug up the nest with the branch in a few seconds, picked out the queen ant inside and stepped on it to death.

"Look, this way everything will be fine. The remaining little ants will soon leave to find a new queen. They can't testify that you crushed their compatriots to death. It's simple, isn't it?"

"Well, thank you for helping me..."

"Then let's go back. When we encounter problems in the future, we should first think about solving them from the root."

"Okay, where's Xiaobai?"

"They're all looking for you because you disappeared for four hours and they thought you were lost."

"Oh, then let's run back quickly and don't let them worry."

"Okay, did you remember all the lies I taught you just now?"

"Yeah, don't worry, I remembered it all." Qiao Shinian grinned foolishly.

"Okay, let's do this in the future."

"Ok!"
