Chapter 250: I'm Proud of My Wife (Second Update)
It was also expected that she was Lord Xiao Shen that the matter would spread.
She had no intention of hiding her identity.
But she also knows that the people's acceptance of this matter will not be too high.
Hearing Qing'er's words, Shen Qing paused in his writing, smiled without any emotion, and said, "Really? What about you? When you first knew that I was Xiao Shen, what was your mood? Do you think that my woman's identity has tarnished the reputation of Lord Xiao Shen? β
At first, she was reluctant to restore the identity of Xiao Shen, because she didn't want to hide her gender as an official anymore.
The ancient woman was too tightly bound, and although she had no ambition to completely change the world, she also knew that under the watchful eye of the Temporal Authority, it would not be allowed for her to go too far.
But she also wants to change the world a little, at least so that the women in this world can be viewed more objectively and live a more colorful life.
It's just that this sudden coup d'Γ©tat disrupted her plans, and she was forced to restore her identity as Xiao Shen before she could gain more recognition as a woman.
Now that Lord Xiao Shen's status and reputation are better than Shen Qing as a woman, it is normal for the people to be unacceptable.
Qing'er was slightly stunned, not understanding why Shen Qing suddenly asked like this, but she still replied honestly: "The slave maid is shocked, and she is also ...... It's unreal.
But after Madam led us to hit those Da Liang barbarians hard, and even seriously injured Queen Nayun, the slave maid had only one idea - Madame deserves to be Lord Xiao Shen! No matter whether Lord Xiao Shen is a man or a woman, her outstanding ability will not change, and she is still working hard to protect the people of Daqi, so what does it make if Lord Xiao Shen is a man or a woman? β
Shen Qing was slightly stunned, looked at the woman in front of her and raised her little face, and said with a bright face: "The slave maid even thinks that it is great that Lord Xiao Shen is the lady, and as a woman, the slave and the maid are really proud of the lady!" β
Who said that they women can't defend their families and the country, can't benefit the people, and can only take care of their own small families? Couldn't there be any other choice?
The appearance of Mrs. completely subverted Qing'er's thoughts and concepts for so many years, and made her realize that women can also become heroes.
It turns out that a woman can be so powerful, and she has the power to subvert the dynasty!
She couldn't help but think of some heroic stories she had heard when she was a child, and maybe she had doubts in her heart at that time, why were the protagonists of those heroic stories all men? It's just that such doubts flashed away, because what she was taught since she was a child is that women exist for a small family, and those heroic deeds are not what women should do at home.
She is proud of her wife, although she and her wife are different from each other, but at least, she and her wife are both women!
Shen Qing blinked, looked at the little girl in front of him, and laughed low for a while.
She seemed to have touched a certain heartstring by Qing'er's words, and she couldn't help but laugh so much that her shoulders trembled, if it weren't for the fact that Yu Jiuqing was still sleeping in the inner room, she was afraid that she would laugh out loud.
Qing'er was a little confused when she saw Shen Qing's appearance, "Madam, what are you laughing at?" But did the slave say the wrong thing? β
"You're right."
Shen Qing eased his emotions, sat up straight again, and said with a smile: "I was just thinking that my previous thoughts were too complicated and circuitous.
As you said, whether I am a man or a woman, it is me, and the things I do and the merits on my body belong to me, and no one can take them.
Why should I keep hiding my identity like this? β
If she had told the world from the beginning that Mrs. Yu Xiang was Lord Xiao Shen, there would certainly be no fewer voices against her from the court and the people, and the road would not be easy, but as long as she still has this ability and is still benefiting the people, there will be more and more people who recognize her like Qing'er in the end.
Although this road is not easy to walk, it does not mean that it is impassable.
What she first thought of was to first beat the name of Shen Qing out as a woman, so that the public could first recognize Shen Qing's ability and achievements, and then tell the world that she was the former little Shen.
This approach is not wrong, and it will even be more cautious and safe, but it is a bit more tortuous than the first approach.
Just like Song Xingzhi said, when she returned to this world this time, she obviously became shy back in her work and pursued stability.
This is not like the previous Shen Qing.
Qing'er didn't understand Shen Qing's words, so she only subconsciously nodded along with Shen Qing's words and said, "Yes, why does Madam want to hide her identity?" I wish there were more women like Madame, the better! β
Shen Qing glanced at her funny, clicked on the half-written paper on the desktop, and suddenly asked, "Qing'er, do you know how to read and write?" β
Qing'er was slightly stunned, and said with some embarrassment: "No, only the slave's own name will be written." The slave's family is poor, and when he was a child, only the slave's younger brother could go to school, and his father said that the slave and the slave's sister were women, and it was useless to read so many books, and the matter of honoring the ancestors had to rely on the younger brother.
Later, the slave's father accidentally injured a leg while doing farm work, and there was no money for treatment, so the slave and maid went to the general's mansion to do things. β
Shen Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at her with a smile, "Then do you want to read and write?" β
Qing'er was slightly stunned, as if she had never thought about it, and couldn't help but stammer: "It's useless for the slave to think about it, the slave and the maid also feel that the slave and the maid ...... It is useless for slaves and maids to read and write, after all, slaves and maids cannot participate in the imperial examination in the future, nor can they glorify their ancestors......"
"That's not what I'm asking you about."
Shen Qing softly interrupted her words and asked Fang Cai's question again, "I just want to know, do you want to read and write?" If there is an opportunity to read and write in front of you, do you want to go? β
Qing'er was stunned, looked at Shen Qing's gentle and firm eyes, opened her mouth, and said with some bitterness: "Slave maid...... Of course I do. When she was a child, the slave maid often secretly followed her younger brother to the school, listening to the sound of reading in the school, the slave maid only felt envious.
Although the slave knows that women don't need to study, sometimes they can't help but envy their younger brother, who can have the opportunity to go to the imperial examination to become an official, to glorify their ancestors, and become a person that everyone chases and envies.
Slaves and maids sometimes can't help but wonder why slaves and maids are not men. If the slave is a man, wouldn't there be more options......
"As you told me, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman."
Shen Qing's eyes couldn't help but become softer, and said, "It's not your woman's identity that's wrong, it's the way of the world."
If it weren't for the oppression of this world, women should be more valuable than men, and women can not only reproduce, but also protect their families and defend the country and benefit the people.
If the shackles imposed on women are removed, what women can do is immeasurable.
You should be more proud of who you are as a woman. β
Qing'er looked at Shen Qing in a daze, and only felt that such a deviant thing had never been thought of in her previous life.
But these words sound so reasonable, especially when they come from the mouth of the husband, they seem to become extremely powerful.
She couldn't help biting her lip and said, "When will the shackles on that woman be removed?" Can it be withdrawn again? β
