The young ladies in the boudoir of the aristocratic families rarely go out of the house. Even if they go out occasionally, they will not go out on the street, and they need to wear a curtain or veil when meeting guests.

Their hands and feet will be covered tightly, and not even a little bit will be exposed even in the hot summer.

Especially, it cannot be seen by men.

Chen Wei visited four cloth shops.

Three jewelry stores.

and those that are running thriving shops.

At the beginning, Chen Wei just wanted to quickly earn enough money to lay a foundation for leaving the house and finding his way home.

"That lady just now, I saw her holding her breath while walking. Does she have something against me?" Chen Wei walked out of the cloth shop and asked Xiaoman with a frown.

After spending these few days together, Xiaoman felt that Miss Shen had changed.

It may also be that she has never understood Miss Shen. She used to think that Miss Shen was rude and impolite, but now she finds that she is quite good. She can't say exactly what is good about her.

But it's easy and happy to get along with each other.

Xiaoman quietly pointed to her chest and continued, "That's the eldest daughter of the Liu family. She's almost coming of age and has a plump figure. She attended a banquet at the Prime Minister's residence some time ago, and because a man from outside her family took a look at her here..."

"Then the rumors spread very badly. If Miss Liu hadn't been under the age of marriage and hadn't been so highly regarded by her family, she would have been forced to marry that outsider."

"And then..."

"Madam Liu asked her to bind her breasts because she was afraid that this part would be too prominent and would attract men's attention. If some rumors were to spread, her reputation would be completely ruined."

The curtain was heavy and silent.

My heart feels blocked.

No more words.

She already understood the situation of the shop and was waiting to return home to make a detailed plan and find a way to make money that was suitable for this era.

On the way back home, Chen Wei was in a low mood.

She drew aside the curtain and saw the carriage passing by a martial arts gym.

She saw the long swords hanging on the wall, the pitch-black crossbows, the sharp arrows, and every strong man who walked out of it... She watched and watched.

She gritted her teeth and got off the carriage.

"Girl, you can't go in here!"

"There are only outsiders here, how can a woman enter the martial arts hall! If it gets out, she will be despised!" Xiaoman was scared to death when she saw this.

Chen Wei broke free from her hand and said sternly, "Wait for me in the carriage. I'll be back soon."

"But girl..."

When the owner of the martial arts gym learned that a woman wanted to learn martial arts, his expression was shocked and stunned.

For a moment he thought he had misheard.

Or maybe that woman is crazy!

Shopkeeper Wu ran to the lobby and looked up. It was indeed a woman, a delicate and beautiful woman. "Is it you who wants to learn martial arts?"

"It's me." Chen Wei looked at the owner of the martial arts gym with burning eyes: "Is it okay?"

"Go away! What's okay? I think you're here to cause trouble, right?"

"Judging from your attire, you must be a noble from a wealthy family. Why don't you stay at home and embroider and play the piano, find a husband and marry him, take good care of him and raise children, instead of coming to learn martial arts from me?"

"I think you are mentally ill, leave now!"

Manager Wu decisively refused and looked at Chen Wei with anger.

What’s the point for the ladies and wives of wealthy families to learn martial arts?

She couldn't join the army to fight, and she wasn't like a poor girl. In order to be a personal slave of a noble, she wanted to learn some skills to protect her master.

A woman should be quiet and gentle like water.

Otherwise you won’t be liked by your husband!

"I want to learn." Chen Wei took out ten taels of silver with a bit of pain in his heart, put it on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper again: "No matter how hard or painful it is, I want to learn, okay?"

Shopkeeper Wu looked at the silver on the table and looked up in shock.

Ten taels.

This is no small amount.

He looked at Chen Wei several times, and finally, under the temptation of silver, he frowned and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." I know now more than ever what I want to do.

"I'm surrounded by men who are not men. If you, a woman, want to practice martial arts, you're bound to run into them. Besides, women have to put in more effort than men to keep fit, let alone practice martial arts."

"I'm not saying... you, you definitely can't hold on."

"And...ah, don't you even care about your boudoir's reputation? Ordinary ladies would even wear a curtain when meeting men, for fear of getting a bad reputation!"

Chen Wei tightened her drooping fingertips, she had no choice.

Her body was too weak, so weak that she had no power to resist.

Money, physical strength, archery, boxing... these can all be the basis for her future, except weakness.

Chen Wei raised his head, and the burning emotion in his eyes startled Shopkeeper Wu: "I'm not afraid. Please accept me. I can endure any hardship. I'm not afraid."

"Then, then your people..." Shopkeeper Wu murmured softly, "Will your people allow this? To put it more seriously, this is a heinous and shameful act."

"He will agree. I have a way to make him agree."

"Ten days from now, I will come here to find you."

When leaving the martial arts hall.

Shen Wei took a deep breath.

This moment.

Xiaoman actually saw a gleam of unstoppable power in Chen Wei's eyes, but Xiaoman didn't understand... She didn't understand why Miss Chen would rather give up her fame and work hard to practice such a crude thing?

Wouldn't it be good to serve the Marquis well, get a status, and live a life of wealth and glory in the mansion?
