As Su Jingyao got off the carriage, her unique temperament instantly attracted the tea girls who were shouting outside Mingxiang Yige.

Their eyes lit up instantly, with some surprise and expectation in their looks.

Originally, when this luxurious carriage slowly drove onto the street, they were secretly wondering whether there was a distinguished guest. If they could get the distinguished guest to come into their teahouse to spend money, it would attract many customers.

One of the tea girls immediately had a warm smile on her face and hurried over.

"Ma'am, would you like some tea?"

"Is your teahouse run by women?"

Su Jingyao was wearing a veil, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly, but her voice was faint.

Before the tea girl could answer, the owner of Cuilan Tea House came trotting over, with a flattering smile on his face and his waist slightly bent.

"Madam, if you want to drink tea, why don't you come to our Cuilan Tea House? Our Cuilan Tea House has been open for many years, and we have the best tea in Yicheng."

"Madam, you don't seem to be a local. You must come and try the most authentic tea in Yicheng."

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation as he spoke.

The tea girl next to her suddenly raised her eyebrows and was obviously in a bad mood.

When he saw the shopkeeper opposite blatantly trying to snatch customers, he immediately became ferocious and put his hands on his hips.

He said loudly, "This lady can go wherever she wants. Besides, in Yicheng, how can only Cuilan Tea House have authentic tea? Our Mingxiang Yige not only has good tea, but also various flower cakes that women love, as well as storytelling, singing and other entertainment."

"Most importantly, we have a unique tea-making technique. Madam, would you like to try it?"

At the end of her speech, a friendly smile returned to the tea girl's face, and she asked Su Jingyao earnestly.

Su Jingyao raised her eyes and looked at Mingxiang Yige. The decoration was more in line with the feminine aesthetic, with soft colors, exquisite layout, and a unique elegance.

But there were not many customers inside at the moment. If Su Jingyao went in, she would probably be their first customer.

Su Jingyao already had her own plans and would naturally not change them because of a few words from the owner of Cuilan Tea House. She went straight into Mingxiang Yige without hesitation.

Seeing this, the owner of Cuilan Tea House stamped his feet in anxiety and wanted to say something, but Su Jingyao raised her hand slightly, and Miaoxia immediately stepped forward and stretched out her arm to stop the owner.

The tea girl was very excited to see this noble lady actually come into their teahouse, and hurriedly followed her, introducing her enthusiastically.

As he spoke, he led Su Jingyao to the position with the best view in the lobby.

"You haven't answered my question just now. Is your teahouse run by a woman?" Su Jingyao asked again after sitting down.

The tea girl thought that the lady looked down on women doing business, and the smile on her face froze instantly and she looked embarrassed.

But he bit his lip and said truthfully, "Madam, this teahouse is indeed run by four women, all from a remote town in Yicheng, and they got to know each other for some reason."

"One is a widow whose husband died a few years ago, and the other three women have divorced their husbands."

These tea girls have come out to be self-reliant because they are at odds with their husband's families for various reasons.

Although she had long been able to accept other people's criticism of them, she couldn't help feeling a little sad at this moment, and a barely perceptible loneliness flashed in her eyes.

After Su Jingyao sat down, she said slowly, "Please bring some of your signature tea and flower cakes."

Seeing that the lady did not have any other excessive reaction to their experience, but instead directly ordered tea, a smile instantly broke out on her face. She hurriedly agreed happily and retreated briskly to prepare.

Although Su Jingyao's advice to Jun Zechen on women's freedom of marriage had achieved certain results, it was still difficult to resist the powerful traditional ideas in this deeply rooted feudal era.

A woman can divorce, but she will inevitably be looked at strangely by others.

If we want to stop such prejudice, the key is for women to be able to be independent and strong.

Just as Su Jingyao was lost in thought, the tea girl brought up the tea and flower cakes.

Su Jingyao took off her veil, revealing her creamy skin that was glowing. She handed the veil to Miaoxia who was sitting opposite her. Miaoxia took it and carefully put it away for her.

She took a sip of tea and lowered her butterfly-like eyelashes to hide the thoughts in her eyes.

The taste is really good and the craftsmanship is also exquisite.

Maybe......

She can help these women, use them as opportunities and springboards, and strongly encourage women to become self-reliant and strong.

Su Jingyao accompanied Jun Zechen on his southern tour to understand the people's sentiments, and women's needs were naturally extremely important.

Even if she could not completely change the status of women in the dynasty during her lifetime, she could lay a solid foundation for improving the status of women in later generations.

If you want to be a virtuous queen, you must be a virtuous queen in name only, not just a virtuous queen for show.

Su Jingyao sipped her tea leisurely while thinking about what to do next.

Before she knew it, more and more guests were sitting around her.

The female shopkeeper in yellow looked at the lively scene with a delighted look on her face. She said to the tea girl excitedly, "This lady is really beautiful and has an outstanding temperament. She is sitting here and attracts many customers to come in."

Su Jingyao was completely unaware of this and was still thinking about how to implement this effectively.

Suddenly, a tall man walked in arrogantly.

When several female shopkeepers of Mingxiang Yige saw this person, they all frowned, their faces full of worry.

It was Master Li, the overlord of Yi City. The female shopkeeper in red took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and immediately stood up and asked, "Master Li, do you want some tea?"
