"What are skin care products?" Princess Jin came back to her senses and asked.
She had asked Gan'er and also knew that in the world where Ruanruan came from, all men and women were born equal.
So what Ruanruan said just now was actually just her opinion on the world she lives in.
"Skin care products are things you apply to your face. After using them, your face will become shiny and elastic."
Ruanruan climbed onto the stool, rested her elbows on the table, and supported her cheeks with her hands.
She explained earnestly, "It also makes the skin extra tender. Long-term use can temporarily slow down aging and maintain your complexion."
"The Princess Beauty is so beautiful, of course she must stay beautiful forever."
She covered her little mouth and laughed, "Hehe."
"Really?" Princess Jin looked at Ruanruan in disbelief.
As Ruanruan said, there is no woman who doesn't care about her appearance at any time.
"Really?" Ruanruan nodded and started to pound garlic.
Ruanruan glanced at Cuilan's swollen face and said, "Sister Cuilan, put some ice on your face first, otherwise it will be even more swollen tomorrow. That old man was too cruel."
"Go ahead." Princess Jin gestured at her.
Cuilan bowed and saluted before leaving.
"Oh, yes, the beautiful princess."
Ruanruan held her chin with one hand, took the tea poured by Princess Jin with the other hand, and took a small sip with her little mouth.
"If a girl wants to protect herself in this world, what should she do?"
Ruanruan recently thought about it and realized that for some things, she could go to Uncle Prince Jin for help, but for some things, she still had to go to Aunt Princess Jin for help.
After all, girls and boys are different!
Princess Jin thought for a moment and said, "Before you get married, you should obey your parents, but you should have your own opinions. After you get married, you should manage the harem and assist your husband in handling household affairs. You should also follow his arrangements for important matters in the palace."
"But what if your parents are not good and the person you marry is not good? What should you do then? Should you just endure it?" Ruanruan asked again.
"Of course not. It's better to get a divorce." Princess Jin was once the Crown Princess and had a prominent family background. No one dared to look down on her.
Her grandfather was a veteran of two dynasties, and no one dared to neglect whoever she married.
Although Princess Jin has a gentle personality since childhood, she also has a sharp edge and will never allow herself to be manipulated by others!
Given her family background, it was relatively easy to get a divorce, but it would be difficult for someone else without a strong family background to support them.
"But divorce is not easy. Even if we really divorce, what will outsiders think? She is a lonely woman. If her family doesn't agree, what will she eat and drink? How will she survive outside?"
"Yes!" Ruanruan clapped his hands together suddenly.
"So, over there, everyone is equal. Girls can go out and earn money to support themselves. They don't need to rely on their parents or husbands."
"If they're unhappy in their marriage, they can get a divorce. They have jobs and don't have to worry about running out of money. They can live on their own and eat, drink, and be happy."
Princess Jin was filled with curiosity and envy about the world she was talking about. "You... your world, is it really like this?"
If that's the case, that would be great!
Free and unrestrained.
"Yeah!" She nodded softly.
"So Ruanruan thought, this is also possible. Women can work and support themselves, so they don't have to worry about going hungry or freezing."
"You don't have to worry about being kicked out of the house anymore."
Princess Jin supported her forehead with one hand and did not immediately tell Ruanruan that this matter was simply not acceptable here.
In this world where male chauvinism and imperial power are supreme, how could women be allowed to be independent? Even if someone really did so, it would be very difficult!
But doing so can indeed help some women live a slightly better life in their parents' home and their husband's home.
"Then we need to find some jobs suitable for women." Princess Jin thought for a while and said.
Ruanruan asked, "What kind of work is suitable?"
"Of course it's embroidery, clothes, things like that, suitable for women."
Ruanruan: "How about cotton?"
Princess Jin: "Of course."
"Okay then! Then Ruanruan will ask her uncle to bring some cotton over, and then they will have something to do."
She clasped her hands together softly, supported her cheek with her small hands, and touched it gently.
"They can sell the clothes they make to people outside and make money!"
"Then the beautiful princess and Uncle Jin can give them money, and they will have money to live on." Ruanruan said again.
She got these ideas from watching her grandparents grow vegetables and herbs, then find people to grow them, and then buy and sell them. She understood after seeing this many times.
"Uncle King Jin can also ask the people in the city to build houses and then give them food, so that they can earn rewards through their labor!"
"This way, everyone will have something to do. They won't need to sell their bodies for food, and they won't even have to rely on Uncle Jin Wang to distribute porridge. Qingzhou won't be so poor anymore."
Ruanruan's words seemed to have awakened Princess Jin.
After Princess Jin entered the city, she observed the situation in Qingzhou City along the way.
As Ruanruan said, this place is really too poor.
The people in the city did not have any good clothes, the houses were dilapidated, and even the roads were muddy and bumpy.
"Ruanruan is right. I will discuss this matter with the prince and find another house to use as an embroidery workshop."
"No need to tell me, I agree." The voice of King Jin suddenly came from outside.
Several children and Princess Jin looked towards the door.
"Uncle Jin Wang, you're back!"
"Father, father!" Zhao Yong hadn't seen Prince Jin for a long time, so he immediately slid down from the stool, jumped and trotted into Prince Jin's arms.
King Jin touched his little head, pulled him inside, and sat him down on the stool.
"I heard that the princess returned home, so I came to take a look."
"Hehe." Ruanruan glanced at the shy Princess Jin and the Prince Jin who was looking at Princess Jin.
She covered her mouth and smiled secretly, "So, Uncle Jin Wang, do you agree?"
Prince Jin reached out and patted her little head. "Of course, I'll just have to trouble Ruanruan and your uncle to bring some cotton."
Ruanruan's little head seems to be loaded with countless ideas, which makes people marvel.
"Uh-huh."
"But, Ruanruan, what you said about ensuring that everyone has a job and food to eat is difficult to achieve at the moment. What everyone lacks most now is not only clothes but also food." King Jin could roughly guess that the work Ruanruan was talking about was work.
"The food Ruanruan gave can only help the people get through the current difficulties."
She frowned softly and lowered her head silently, as if thinking about something. Muran's eyes turned away.
"Yes, you can grow it yourself!"
When King Jin heard her words, his hand holding the teacup paused, and he looked up at her with a slight emotional fluctuation.
“How do I grow my own?”
Could it be that Ruanruan really has a solution?
When King Jin thought of Ruanruan, he felt that she seemed to be omnipotent and there was almost no problem here that Ruanruan could not solve.
Thinking of this, I instantly became excited. Maybe Ruanruan really has a solution!
