Chapter 405: The Women's Club
"What is it?" Liu Xiyu asked curiously when she looked at Xu Youran's appearance.
"It's just some letters, and a flyer similar to the one that the little fat man opened last time, but the content on it should be written according to my requirements!" Xu Youran sat on the chair and blinked his big eyes, and said to Liu Xiyu very seriously.
Xia Xixing's trick of sending leaflets came from Aunt Bai, Aunt Bai has been his special adviser all these years, and the treatment given by the little fat man is also very good, so Aunt Bai also relied on her own abundant food and clothing, and she was happy, and slowly forgot about those unrealistic ideas such as hooking up with the prince's children and grandchildren, and lived an honest life.
Xia Xixing is a talent, some of Aunt Bai's methods are really useful in his hands, for example, although this leaflet is very annoying in later generations, but it is very popular in this era, after all, paper is still a precious thing in this era, Xia Xixing is to send leaflets to poor scholars for the reason of warmth, once this move is launched, it is well received by the masses, not only the business of the store is becoming more and more prosperous, but the reputation is also a lot better, which makes Xia Xixing very beneficial.
The leaflet was written by Liu Xiyu, and the paper was written by Xia Xixing, this time Xia Xixing, who has always been stingy, did not hesitate at all, and took out the paper very happily, and the letter paper also generously chose a beautiful paper with gold flowers for printing and dyeing, this paper is not cheap, but Xia Xixing is not sponsored for nothing, he has a condition, that is, to print the name of his shop under the paper.
Xu Youran asked Liu Xiyu to write a flyer to be distributed outside, but the letter was to be sent to the ladies in the capital, Xia Xixing's trick is very smart, even if the letterhead is expensive, it is not expensive, but this letter is sent to the hands of every noble girl in the capital, it is really a rare opportunity to advertise.
The main reason why Xu Youran wants to write these is because he wants to set up a girls' club, and the content of the letter is mainly to invite young ladies with heads and faces in the capital to come to the appointment, and the venue for the appointment is also provided by Xia Xixing, it is his restaurant, Xia Xixing specially arranged for the restaurant to be closed for a day to entertain these girls.
In fact, there are many similar poetry societies and tea societies in Beijing, but Xu Youran's women's club is different from other societies, Xu Youran Women's Club is not talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor studying poetry and songs, but to improve the status of women.
Liu Xiyu's writing was very good, and soon he wrote all the letters according to Xu Youran's requirements. The content of the letter is the same, although the words are very simple and the content is very obscure, but it is extremely inflammatory, even Xu Youran is enthusiastic when he reads it, not to mention some girls who don't have much life experience.
The letter was sent by Xu Youran in his own name, and the girls in various prefectures just felt very strange when they first saw this letter, after all, Xu Youran had not been back in the capital for a long time and had not had much contact with everyone, so they must have been surprised to send the letter suddenly.
Then after opening the envelope and looking at the beginning, he was not surprised when he saw Xu Youran saying that he was going to set up a women's association, but the more he looked back, the more surprised he became, and when he saw the end, all the people who read the letter couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. Everyone was stunned by some deviant views in the letter, and then they were attracted by what was said there, and finally everyone made a decision, that is, to take a look, to see what the hell the fourth lady of the Xu family was going to do.
At the same time as the letter was sent, those leaflets were also distributed in the streets and alleys, but the leaflet was not as explicit as the letter wrote, but it said that it would set up a women's association that could participate regardless of whether it was rich or poor, as long as it was a woman, and the purpose of the women's association was to help each other, hoping that everyone could have the courage to save their lives and become a member of the women's association.
The distribution of leaflets in the streets and alleys attracted the attention of many people, but this did not make the magnates in the capital pay attention, and everyone only felt that this was just a small activity made by some boudoir girls who were full of food and had nothing to do every day, and it was not a big deal. Even when he saw such a leaflet, he just laughed, but he didn't expect that in the near future, this woman would make such a big noise, and even the emperor had a headache but was helpless.
Bai Qinglan and Cui Yingying also participated in the planning activities of the women's club, and when they heard Xu Youran's idea, they were surprised at first, but in the end, they gritted their teeth and decided to do it with Xu Youran. Especially Bai Qinglan, although she was surprised, but her heart was extremely excited, she felt that Xu Youran was right, why is a woman's life only to get married and have children, and then in the inner courtyard until she is old? Why should you follow the rules and not make a mistake for half a step, why does a little wind and grass affect your reputation and thus your life? Why are there so many constraints on women, and men can do whatever they want, and they can marry a bunch of big wives and small wives?
In the final analysis, it is the status of women who are too low and cannot unite to protect their rights, and they established this women's association to speak up for women, so that thousands of women who are living in pain and have no one to stand up for them have a backing.
Bai Qinglan felt more and more excited, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became, which coincided with what she had always thought. It's just that she didn't dare to say or do it, but Xu Youran said it for her and did it, so Bai Qinglan became more and more energetic about this planned thing, and Cui Yingying went out early and returned late, very serious.
Finally arrived on the day of the appointment, Xu Youran and Bai Qinglan were still worried about whether anyone would come, but they didn't expect that the appointed time had not yet arrived, so a lady came over in advance in a carriage, and when the time came, Xia Xixing's restaurant was already crowded with people, and finally because they couldn't squeeze it, they could only clear all the maids, and all the original wine tables were removed, and they were replaced with a row of benches to sit down.
It's the first time for these ladies to sit on such a bench, although they are a little reluctant to huddle with others, but people are so strange, if no one comes, everyone may lack interest. But now that so many people have come, I don't want to leave anymore, so I can only sit down reluctantly.
Everyone was full, but Xu Youran still didn't show up, and just when everyone was starting to get impatient while waiting, Xu Youran finally got on the makeshift platform.
Xu Youran waved her hand very imposingly after coming to the stage, and after the ladies were quiet, she began to speak.
