Chapter 238 People Like Believers 1
"Sister, you haven't lived in the palace for a long time. Why don't you go back tonight?" When the banquet ended and they said goodbye, Wen Jiu held Qiao Shinian's hands tightly.
Seeing his blurry eyes, Qiao Shinian looked at Yue Yu behind him and stretched out his other hand to wave at her.
Yue Yu approached and whispered, "Girl."
"Take Wen Jiu back and ask the kitchen to make him some hangover soup." After saying that, Qiao Shinian looked at Wen Jiu, who was almost as tall as himself, and whispered, "I have something else to do tomorrow. School will start in two days, and I'll be very busy. You have to keep an eye on it too. The autumn planting is about to start, and the rapeseed and winter wheat can't be late."
After saying that, she pulled her hand out of Wen Jiu's.
In the dark night, Wen Jiu stood on the roadside and watched Qiao Shinian's carriage leave. He raised his hands in a daze, the touch of Qiao Shinian's palm still lingering in his hands, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
It seemed that he hadn't spent a good time with Qiao Shinian for a long time. He was busy and she was busy too.
It seems that the distance between them is widening.
"Your Highness." Xie Yu brought his sister to say goodbye to Wen Jiu.
"Oh, you are the great-grandson of Minister Xie." Wen Jiu put down his hand, smiled and asked Xie Yu: "Sir, please forgive me if I have not treated you well today."
"Your Highness, your idea is truly brilliant. My sister and I like it very much." Xie Yu bowed slightly.
Xie Qingyan also knelt down and saluted Wen Jiu: "My brother and I both had a great time today."
Wen Jiu nodded and asked, "What do you think of my sister's dancing?"
"Very beautiful!" Xie Qingyan blurted out without thinking, then felt that she had lost the demeanor of a lady from a noble family and lowered her head.
Xie Yu also said: "I heard that Miss Qiao arranged today's dinner. As expected, everyone around His Royal Highness Prince Yongle is talented, especially the children singing in unison at the back. The beauty of the music makes people feel fascinated when they hear it."
"Yes! The roasted whole lamb today tastes very different. I was not used to it at first, but I never thought it would be so delicious after I got used to it."
Wan Chengshi brought his son to join in the fun.
"Yes, that taste is still lingering in my mouth." Wan Liang showed a look of aftertaste.
Wen Jiu looked at Wan Liang and asked, "Oh~, it seems that Master Wan really likes roasted lamb."
"Yes, Your Highness, Miss Qiao is truly an extremely rare woman." Wan Liang praised.
"If you still have a bad taste in your mouth, it means you should rinse your mouth." Wen Jiu said expressionlessly.
In the dark night, the light of the torches looked like stars from the sky. As the chattering people gradually left, the fields returned to silence.
The night wind blows, the wind and clouds change
Autumn Rains Are Coming
Recently, Qiao Shinian's appreciation for Ding Cuicui has been obvious to all.
She was too young for Qiao Shinian.
She tried her best to nourish Ding Cuicui's body, and just hoped that there would be no accidents during Ding Cuicui's delivery.
On the students' first day of school, the whole school was in chaos. It was difficult to divide the students into classes and distribute the books within one day.
After everything was arranged for the students to go to school, Qiao Shinian felt relieved.
Recently, heavy rains have caused rising river water levels in many places in Xingzhou. Yun County is not too bad because the super-large reservoir dug by Wen Jiugang in Xingzhou and the widened and expanded river channels were completed before the heavy rains.
Qiao Shinian looked at the raindrops rolling down the eaves and couldn't help but worry. He had heard that there was a flood in Xingzhou and didn't know how much economic loss it would cause this year.
At night, during dinner, someone started the conversation from how to discipline children to how to distinguish a man with poor moral character.
Ding Cuicui stroked her bulging belly. The baby is now more than four months old. She whispered, "In fact, men are good at disguising themselves. They won't show their true colors until their interests are definitely harmed.
The father of the child in my belly is like this. He promised to love only me in this life and to marry me when he saved enough money.
When I told him I was pregnant, he panicked.”
At this point, Ding Cuicui smiled bitterly, "I thought he had no money, so I gave him all my private savings. At that time, he swore to heaven that he would never let me down in this life, but later I heard that he was going to marry the daughter of an old man who sells mixed dumplings in the city.
When I went to question him, he dodged and didn't dare to speak.
Later, when I heard that someone had fallen off the mountain and died, I followed everyone to see, and found that the man was my lover. It was okay that he died, but it was a pity that he brought disaster upon me and the daughter of the wonton seller.
"Why did it bring disaster to Sister Cuicui and her?" a boy asked puzzledly.
Ding Cuicui's eyes were gentle, and she smiled and said, "This world is so difficult for women! The girl hasn't even married yet, and if he dies, she will be accused of being a jinx! Not only will a good girl be criticized when she goes out, but it will also be difficult for her to find a husband."
"Oh~, so that's how it is. The dead unfaithful man was indeed a scourge." The boy nodded.
Ding Cuicui smiled and nodded, then looked at Qiao Shinian: "After seeing the death of the child's father, I decided to live well. My fifth brother and I are twins. We have had a good relationship since we were young, and our thoughts have been very rebellious since we were young.
It was my fault for losing my virginity before marriage, but the father of the child was also at fault. Why can a man just stop doing anything after sowing the seeds, and why can't a woman raise a child out of wedlock! He broke his promise to me, and his death is his retribution!"
Qiao Shinian looked at Ding Cuicui. No wonder she was so calm when he rescued her.
No wonder Ding Cuicui didn't seek death like other normal women would, and was so disheartened.
Normal woman?
Qiao Shinian suddenly woke up from her own thoughts. At that moment, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and her pupils dilated slightly. What kind of woman did she think was a normal woman now?
"Miss Qiao, the path you are going to take is even more shocking than what I thought. This path is not easy, but I, Ding Cuicui, will do everything I can to protect your path, even at the cost of my life!" Ding Cuicui looked at Qiao Shinian with a firm face and said solemnly: "I want women to have some status in this society! Maybe in the future women can also be officials!"
"I think that as long as women become officials, the world will not be so difficult for women in the future. I believe everything you say, and I am willing to give you everything!"
"Us too!" At this moment, such firm voices rang out in the room at the same time.
Qiao Shinian looked at these people in a daze. The fanaticism on Cao Yue and Cao Jinhua's faces was exactly the same as Ding Cuicui's. The children also put away their smiles and looked serious.
At this moment, it was like a religious believer's oath-taking ceremony.
But Qiao Shinian was still immersed in her own thoughts. She actually thought that Ding Cuicui's attempt to commit suicide was the normal reaction of a woman.
Why does she think this is normal?!
Is it because I have been here for too long that my thoughts have been integrated into this world?
If this is the case, what does she do and advocate now count for?
