Xie Daoyong still smiled kindly, his eyes turned, and he fixed on Xie Daozhong: "This is not accurate, but the world of the Qing Kingdom, I'm afraid it's ......"

"Daoyong!" Xie Daozhong reprimanded in a deep voice, "You have been an official in the capital for all these years, do you dare to say anything you have learned?"

Xie Daoyong sighed and waved his hand: "This is all an afterthought, big brother, the imperial court wants to select a new batch of students to study abroad, I mean to send all the children out to see the world, what do you think?"

Xie Daozhong didn't answer, he took a sip of wine with a deep groan, and said, "This matter will be discussed later, eat first." ”

Xie Daoyong didn't press step by step, sighed and picked up the chopsticks: "The dishes at home have turned into northern flavors, this is really unexpected, Lao Li Tou hasn't left when I leave, I really miss his craftsmanship." ”

Xie Daozhong didn't answer again, and the juniors chatted with Xie Daoyong, Xie Daoyong left home as a teenager and worked hard alone for more than ten years.

When the moon was in the middle of the day, the dinner party was almost over, Xie Daoyong asked someone to prepare tea in the study, Mrs. Qin humorously urged the girls to go back to the room to rest, Wanlan took the younger sisters back to their respective rooms, and suddenly asked Wantian before entering the door: "Ah Tian, what do you think of the incident that uncle said?"

Wan Tian thought about it for a while, and smiled very gently: "Sister is talking about staying in the ocean, it's very good, but I think it's good to only let Huai'an and Huaichang go, my mother is right, girls are running around with their heads in front of them, and they won't be the same after all." ”

Wanlan said: "I want to go out and have a look, I can't be trapped in this high-walled compound all my life, the books say, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles." ”

Wan Tian smiled and said: "The book also says that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and we can't do anything about it. ”

Wanlan also laughed: "I don't want this, what do you want? Knitting Female Red? I sometimes think, girls like us, what are we living for, we don't have to weave and embroider to support ourselves, nor do we need to read and write to gain fame, in the first half of our lives, we raised ourselves well to find a good in-law family, and in the second half of our lives, like a mother, we will save a few concubines for our husbands and have a few children, do we live this life just to find our in-laws' family to have children?"

Wan Tian was taken aback by her sister's words, pursed her lips, and looked a little contemplative: "Then, what do you want to do? People in the world have their own division of labor, those who are officials have to govern, farmers have to cultivate land, and businessmen have to do business, their whole life is not also to live for one thing, farmers can't do the things of officials, officials can't do the things of businessmen, Sister Ah doesn't want to do what women should do, do they want to do things like men?"

Wanlan clapped her hands and said, "How do you know that I can't do what men do? Besides, who stipulates that women should do these things, not men's things, how many women in our history have done men's things, aren't they all bad, why do they do, I can't do it." ”

Wan Tian looked at her sister with some horror: "You really taught me to be scared tonight, my mother often said that you are a hearted child, but you hatefully gave birth to a daughter, and now it seems that this is really right." But sister, what can you do? This rule has been handed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years, everything should be done like this, how many years of history we have, how many women who can do men's things, how can you be sure that you will become one of them? Sister, you better take care of it, you should also find the right family at your age, you are out of the cabinet, we can only think about ourselves as sisters. ”

The corners of Wanlan's eyes were slightly raised, and there was a struggling and tangled expression. This idea has been buried in her heart for a long time, and every day is tortured so that she can't sleep, maybe the deep mansion compound is not suitable for raising a young lady with such crazy ideas, she used to be ashamed of such a thought, and felt that it should not be a beautiful idea, but the more she tried to suppress it, the stronger it was overwhelming.
