Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Chapter 53: Allowing women to settle down and engage in business

"What's the difference?" Shen Xingxi frowned. "We all have hands and feet. Haven't you earned any money? That money is at least more than what a waiter in a restaurant earns, right?

What is so special about men? Is it that no women can wield swords and guns, that there have been no female generals in history, or that there are no women with profound knowledge? "

"Women can do the same things that men can do. They may need to work harder, but that doesn't mean they can't do it."

"So I don't agree with your reason. Can you think of any other reasons?"

The room was silent, the girls' attention was diverted and their tears stopped flowing.

Shen Xingxi said in a gentle voice, "I know this is an idea that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but that doesn't mean it's correct."

“Sisters, I still say the same thing, you are not wrong, those people use words to attack the right things, it is their problem.

I know people's words are scary, but people live for themselves, and there is no need to live the way others expect them to live."

She picked up the handkerchief and handed it to Wanfeng, "Can you promise me that you will love yourself well in the future?"

Wanfeng took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, and asked in a sobbing voice: "How should we love ourselves?"

“Stop punishing yourself for the mistakes of others.”

"Be brave enough to walk out of the shadow of the past and learn to let go of yourself."

"You all have a skill, I can provide you with a job, what I want to see is that in the future you will use your hard-earned money to buy the things you like, no longer pleasing others, but only pleasing yourself;

What I want to see is that in the future, when you are faced with the ridicule of others, you will just sneer and say, "Don't try to control me with your thoughts! I am not on the same level as you."

For some reason, the girls wanted to laugh when they heard the manager say in a proud voice, "I'm not on the same level as you guys."

As I laughed, tears rolled down my cheeks unknowingly.

Wan Feng's eyes were filled with gratitude: "Butler, why are you helping us? Why are you willing to buy us and give us the indenture? How can we help you?"

"Yes, you can help me a lot." Shen Xingxi sighed, "There are too many tragedies in this world because women need to maintain their chastity."

"If a woman is taken advantage of by a beggar, she cannot report it to the police. Even if her family values ​​their reputation, they will marry her to the beggar. Don't you think it's ridiculous? The victim cannot punish the evildoer, but has to live with the evildoer for the rest of his life."

"If you don't want to marry a bad man, there are only two options: worship Buddha or hang yourself."

"Therefore, some men will use the name of love to coax a woman into their marriage, and then tell her: I've touched you, who else can marry you? At that time, don't even mention the bride price. If a man is willing to marry you, he has to burn incense. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"That's why I say chastity is a shackle that controls a woman's fate. But why can't a woman control her own fate?"

"Sisters, I beg you, if you encounter such a situation, please help as many people as you can." She stood up and bowed to everyone:

"It is so difficult for women to survive. I really can't imagine who else can help us if women don't help each other. But almost all I see are infighting in the harem, sisters fighting for husbands, and jealousy of others marrying better..."

"Don't you think it's ridiculous? Women's lives revolve around men. They show off the jewelry their husbands gave them and fight for the days their husbands favor them. Even you just said that if you can't get married, you won't be able to survive in the future."

"Do you think this is normal?"

"If you feel that this is not normal, then please move forward bravely and learn to be self-reliant, okay?"

Her voice suddenly became powerful: "Let's go and prove to the world that men are a condiment but not a necessity!"

The night sky is dotted with stars, flickering like little lanterns in the dark.

The moon hung high in the sky, and its bright and soft light sprinkled through the windowsill.

The breeze blew gently, blowing away the moisture in my eyes.

The evening breeze heard itself saying, "I will try my best!"

Shen Xingxi gave her an encouraging hug and said firmly: "I believe you!"

Wan Yu opened her arms, "And me!"

Shen Xingxi said to everyone, "I believe you." After seeing that everyone's emotions had recovered, he left.

She didn't know that after she left, the girls hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Commemorate your past self and start a new life.

The next day, they went to Xingshu to ask when they could get the work.

Xingshu gave a time limit, "Tell me what you know within a month, and I will arrange it.

The master lets you live here without worry, but you are not allowed to bring men in, and internal fighting is not allowed. If you want, you can learn martial arts from the people in the Plum Courtyard next door in the morning."

After she finished her explanation, she told the boss about the situation in the bamboo courtyard via carrier pigeon.

Shen Xingxi smiled slightly and burned the letter.

Because she had asked for leave from the prince, she had some free time, so she took Xinghuo and put two lounge chairs in the yard.

The two of them were fishing and reading books leisurely.

It’s just a pity for Prince Yun that not only does he have to deal with all the memorials, but he also has to face the Crown Prince’s face which becomes more and more resentful day by day.

After four days of hard work, the imperial edict that everyone had been waiting for finally came out.

The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, declares:

Since ancient times, women should focus on their families and take care of their husbands and children. However, the world is changing. Today, I have heard that women can also stand on their own feet and start their own businesses, which is commendable. In order to encourage women to strive for self-improvement, from today on, I hereby open up the right for women to settle down and do business independently, allowing women to purchase house deeds and land deeds, open shops, and make a living on their own.

When the imperial edict came out, the people were in an uproar.

Prince Yun couldn't help but go to the teahouse on the second day after the imperial edict was issued to listen to the people's voices in person.

"A woman settling down alone? A woman doing business? I don't know what that person is thinking. Isn't this letting the woman show her face in public?"

"It's ridiculous. I won't let my wife do business anyway."

"How can doing business be that easy? What does a woman who has lived in the inner house for a long time know?"

King Yun uncontrollably flicked the peanuts in his hand onto the teeth of the man who said the last sentence.

The man was missing two front teeth and was furious, "What are you doing?"

[I am the one chosen by God. You questioned the emperor's decision and you should be punished! ]

Seeing that Prince Yun stood up for the host, the system must of course make Prince Yun remember the host's kindness.

[Now I will make public the evil things you have done:

When you were thirteen, you raped a woman, causing her to be thrown into a pig cage for her premarital impurity.

When you were sixteen, in order to avoid paying the bride price, you pretended to be a kidnapper and kidnapped your wife, so that she would marry you out of gratitude.

You murdered your wife when you were twenty years old, dried the flesh piece by piece, and forced your current wife to eat it.

The body is still buried in your yard.

What you have done is too numerous to list. I suggest that those in power punish you according to the law! 】

【Finally, you can move to the city gate, where you will be told whether it is feasible for women to run businesses! 】
