Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

The Qing dynasty died long ago, isn't it a new era now? How come...

But now she is at the mercy of others, so she should just act like a good kid before she can regain her voice...

Ai Shutong lowered her head and pretended to be unhappy.

Sure enough, Nanny Lin didn't scold her much. Seeing her like this, she touched her head with pity.

At this moment, a male voice interrupted, "It's a new era now. Miss is a new era woman. What's wrong with stomping your feet? This mother is making a fuss."

A warm and magnetic male voice came, and people had a good impression of him before they even saw the person.

Nanny Lin and Ai Shutong turned their heads at the same time and saw a thin and handsome young man with a gentle smile on his face.

It turned out to be the man who stepped on Ai Shutong's shoes in the cinema just now.

Ai Shutong nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right, we think the same thing." She actually wanted to use the phrase "great minds think alike", but was afraid that Nanny Lin would ask her where she learned this from, so she had to change it into plain words.

Nanny Lin smiled and glanced at Ai Shutong, successfully making her shut up.

It was so scary. Even though the nanny was smiling, why did that smile give her such a chilly feeling?

"Sir, I am educating my child for her own good. Her actions just now were really indecent and violated the rules of women's morality, appearance, speech and merit."

The man didn't get angry when he heard this, but kept a gentle smile in a good-tempered manner.

"I am Shen Jiaxing, a professor of literature at Peking University. President Cai of our university is now the Minister of Education of our country."

"He presided over the education reform this year and proposed the education policy of harmonious development of personality by implementing the five aspects of education in order to train the citizens of the Republic."

"Madam, your education is outdated. If you want your children to be good, you should change your old ideas and educate them according to new ideas."

Ai Shutong gave him a thumbs up in her heart, saying, "Well, it's time to go out and work now. Women who care about appearance, words and deeds all day long waste their time on dressing up, so how can they have time to work or study?"

Nanny Lin twitched her lips stiffly, and when she saw Ai Shutong looking at the person in front of her with admiration, she quickly pulled her away to say goodbye.

I hurriedly called a rickshaw and returned to Yongxing Street.

In the evening, Nanny Lin thought about this matter. After thinking about it, she still didn't know how to educate the little princess.

Nanny Lin, whose head was aching from thinking so much, decided to go to bed first and think about it tomorrow.

The next day, before Ai Shutong woke up, Nanny Lin dug her out of bed, put on a newly made rose-red cheongsam for her, and carried her to the table to eat.

Ai Shutong said quickly: "Mammy, I can do it myself. I'm grown up now, and I can dress myself and eat by myself in the future."

When Nanny Lin heard this, she was so moved that she almost shed tears, "Princess, you have really grown up and know how to feel sorry for me."

Ai Shutong walked straight to the table and looked at the fried dough sticks, steamed buns, mahjong biscuits, salt and pepper rolls, tofu pudding, pumpkin millet porridge and four small plates of pickles on the table, which were full.

Since arriving here, breakfast has been so rich every day.

Ai Shutong finally asked what she had wanted to ask for a long time, "Mammy, isn't our family short of money? Isn't it a waste to prepare so much food for breakfast?"

Nanny Lin smiled and put some pickled bamboo shoots on her plate. "Don't waste it. Eat it first. I'll take the rest to the kitchen and we can share it."

"Princess, you don't know that ordinary people now only have two meals a day. Because of you, we can have three meals a day."

Ai Shutong didn't expect this to happen. She was surprised at first, then embarrassedly shook her head, "Mammy, don't be like this next time. I'm not picky about food. Two or three things are enough for me every morning."

"This way you won't have to eat my leftovers in the future."

Nanny Lin was shocked, "Princess, how can you eat the leftovers? You haven't touched many of them yet, they are all new, this is called a blessed base."

Nanny Lin patiently explained, "Not to mention Old Li and me, even the mother and daughter of the Shen family are happy to be able to enjoy your blessing. This way, they can also get some of your blessings, and maybe they can be born into a wealthy family in the next life."

Ai Shutong was filled with black lines on her forehead, once again feeling their stupidity and ignorance.

After breakfast, Ai Shutong didn’t know what time it was. It was really inconvenient without a clock, so she had to find a way to make one.

Suddenly she thought of going to the cinema yesterday, where all the subtitles were in traditional Chinese. Ai Shutong thought, even if she didn't have the money to buy them for the time being, she could still practice writing immediately.

He turned to Aunt Lin and said, "Aunt, I want to learn calligraphy."

Nanny Lin agreed with this and said that if the princess wanted to make progress, she must be supported.

After a while, Nanny Lin brought writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

When Ai Shutong saw this, she felt like dying.

How long do I have to learn to write with a brush?

Ai Shutong asked to go out for a walk.

Nanny Lin knew that once the princess saw the colorful world outside, she would no longer be able to be contained in this room.

He sighed deeply and placed the four treasures of the study on the table weakly.

"Princess, it's not that Mammy doesn't want you to go out, but she's afraid that the Prince's Mansion will know your current situation and lock you back in the small dark room. Your mother is cruel, and if she forcefully takes you away, Mammy will be heartbroken."

Ai Shutong rolled her eyes and asked, "Mammy, is there a back door in our house?"

Nanny Lin: "There is a small door in the east courtyard."

Ai Shutong: "I can disguise myself and go out through the small door."

Nanny Lin: "Mrs. Shen and Xiao Rui are not dead. You are a living person. How can they not see you when you walk through the courtyard?"

Ai Shutong: "Find a reason to get them and their daughter away, and I'll go over there."

Nanny Lin advised unwillingly, "Wouldn't it be nice for us to learn to read and tell stories in the room? Why do we have to go out?"

Ai Shutong stepped forward and took Madam Lin's arm, shaking it left and right, "Madam, I can't live in this house forever. When I grow up, I will eventually have to leave. By then, I have never seen anything and I know nothing. If I encounter something, what should I do?"

Just as Nanny Lin was about to speak, Ai Shutong raised her hand to stop her, "You can't be with me forever. Not to mention whether the Prince's Mansion will allow it, just in terms of life span, you will definitely die earlier than me. If you are gone, I will encounter problems and won't know how to do anything. Then won't I just be able to wait for death?"

I don’t know whether Ai Shutong’s words convinced Nanny Lin or scared her, but after considering for a moment, she agreed.

But because Ai Shutong was too beautiful, Nanny Lin was afraid that she would be targeted by others, so she found a set of her old blue clothes and asked Ai Shutong to wear them.

He even deliberately let down her hair in front of her and used it to cover half of her face before letting her go.

Looking at the messy-haired kid in the mirror who looked like he was wearing a sack, Ai Shutong took a deep breath.
