Chapter 639: Establishing Girls' Schools and Promoting Female Medicine
It was the full moon of the little star, and the name had not yet been decided. After receiving many letters from each other, Xiao Jiuyue finally understood the situation in Shengjing.
Her father Xiao Fu also wrote her a letter.
After Xiao Jiuyue and Xiao Jialing had a long conversation all night, she said, "Mom, let's set off for Shengjing tomorrow."
"Have you figured it out?" Su Su hugged Xiao Xingxing and coaxed her. Seeing Xiao Xingxing's smile, she looked at Xiao Jiuyue in surprise.
"Mom, we have to go back to Beijing sooner or later." Xiao Jiuyue shrugged and touched Xiao Xingxing's hand. "Xiao Xingxing is over a month old now. Let's walk slowly on the way. This will help us avoid the coldest part of winter."
What her elder brother said yesterday was an epiphany for her.
Unless she fakes her death to escape, Shengjing will have to be returned.
Jun Lielei remained unmoved. He wrote a letter every day, and in every sentence he did not mention asking Xiao Jiuyue to go back, but every word he wrote was in the hope that Xiao Jiuyue would bring Xiao Xingxing back to Shengjing.
For example, Jun Lie hasn’t chosen a name for Xiao Xingxing yet. He said he would wait until they return to Shengjing to tell her in person.
"Okay, I'll have someone take care of it right away." Su Su ordered, and whispered to Xiao Jiuyue, "After we return to the capital, you are not allowed to be petty with the prince."
Su Su didn't understand government affairs, but she did understand Xiao Fu. The letter Xiao Fu sent her almost hinted at the news that Jun Lie was about to ascend the throne. Su Su was worried that Xiao Jiuyue would not be willing to enter the palace, so she said, "One should plan for the affairs of state in his position. If... if the prince has any future..."
Su Su really couldn't bring herself to say the words concubines and imperial concubines.
"Mom, have you forgotten? Jun Lie has a hidden illness and cannot touch women." Xiao Jiuyue couldn't help but laugh when he saw his mother's embarrassed look.
Su Su reacted and glared at her: "Then why are you still hesitating?"
"I simply don't like the palace." Xiao Jiuyue shrugged and said, "But, big brother is right. Only if I stand high enough can I accomplish what I want to do."
"What do you want to do?" Su Su looked at Xiao Jiuyue puzzledly and asked.
"Promote the supply of food so that people all over the world can have enough to eat. Set up clan schools so that women all over the world can learn to read and write and understand." When Xiao Jiuyue said these words, she did not notice that Xiao Xingxing was looking at her without blinking.
Xiao Jiuyue said, "Also, I want women to study medicine and pass on all of Master's medical skills. Also, women can serve as officials in the imperial court!"
Su Su was stunned!
Su Su could understand Xiao Jiuyue's efforts to ensure that the people of the world had enough to eat. After all, when he was in Hongdu, Xiao Jiuyue had been very selfless and generous, teaching the villagers how to farm. Later, he also taught the people of Jiutou Village and Lancang County...
Su Su approves of and admires her daughter's wish!
But, establishing schools for girls, female doctors, and women serving as officials in the court? This had never happened before!
"This, this has never happened before." Su Su murmured. Her daughter's idea was so unique.
But, if there really comes such a day, how wonderful would that world be?
"Just because there wasn't one before doesn't mean there won't be one in the future." Xiao Jiuyue said seriously, "Mother, they say a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, but look at the noble ladies in Shengjing. Which one of them doesn't read? Which one can't read?"
"For example, wealthy families in other places, as long as they have some ability, would want their daughters to learn to read and write. They would never let them be blind. But what about the daughters of poor families?"
Xiao Jiuyue was silent. "Some got married early, some were rejected and died at birth, and some worked in their parents' homes and then gave birth to children one after another when they moved to their husband's home..."
"Women shouldn't just live like this. They should have a more exciting and broader life!" Xiao Jiuyue lives in an era where everyone is equal, and she disagrees with the ancient practice of male superiority and female inferiority!
Having three wives and four concubines is even more despised!
However, living in ancient times, she just wanted to do her best to give women all over the world more choices.
Su Su was silent for a long time before she said, "Yuer, don't worry, I support you!"
"Thank you, mother."
Xiao Jiuyue hugged Su Su and spoke happily. Then she looked at the little star with sparkling eyes. Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly. She pinched her daughter's face and said, "Little star, you kept looking at mother. Mother thought you were eavesdropping on her conversation with grandmother."
Xiao Jiuyue's words made Su Su laugh. She said, "Little Star is only thirty-something days old. People may not even recognize it clearly, so how can it understand what we are saying?"
"Our little Xingxing is so smart." Xiao Jiuyue pinched little Xingxing's face and praised him.
Su Su slapped her hand away and said, "Don't pinch me, I'll start drooling. Then my little star will drool every day. Will that look good?"
"How can it be so exaggerated?" Xiao Jiuyue said this, but she didn't pinch Xiao Xingxing's face again. She touched Xiao Xingxing's face and said, "Mom, who made Xiao Xingxing's face so soft and so nice to touch?"
"Look at you, a mother, how can you be a mother?" Su Su looked at her like a child and couldn't help but laugh: "All children are the same, look at Chao Chao, isn't he also soft?"
"Chao Chao has gained weight again!"
When Xiao Jiuyue talked about her nephew, she felt that he had gained weight again. She said, "Oh, by the way, mother, let's modify the carriage. Then we can ride in the same carriage, and Xiao Xingxing and Chaochao will have a companion."
“…” Su Su looked at her and thought of one thing after another.
Dong Gui, who was standing by, said quickly, "Don't worry, Princess. The prince has already thought of it and has sent a large carriage with soft cushions."
"Princess, Guo Yang is here." Luo Kui ran in and said.
When Xiao Jiuyue heard that Guo Yang was coming, he raised his eyebrows and went out to meet Guo Yang.
"Guo Yang pays his respects to the princess." Guo Yang bowed to Xiao Jiuyue and said, thinking of the task the prince had given him, "I have come specially to take the princess back to the capital!"
"We came just in time. If we were a day later, we would have missed it." Xiao Jiuyue said directly.
Guo Yang had a lot of words of persuasion in mind, but when he heard Xiao Jiuyue's words, he thought he had misheard.
It was not until he set off for Beijing the next day that Guo Yang felt like he was dreaming!
I thought it was an extremely difficult task!
"Princess, why do you suddenly want to go back to Beijing?" Guo Yang asked Guo Sheng in a low voice.
"How can we guess what the princess is thinking?" Guo Sheng blinked and changed the subject, "But I think it has something to do with the prince."
"Prince?" Guo Yang pressed, "Then tell me quickly, how is this related?"
“…” Guo Sheng looked at him without saying anything.
Guo Yang waited for a long time, but there was no answer from him, so he couldn't help asking: "Why don't you tell me quickly!"
"The princess was talking to the prince, and I didn't eavesdrop, so how would I know?" Guo Sheng answered confidently, "Isn't it a good thing that the princess is willing to return to the capital? The princess said that she wants to establish a girls' school, promote female doctors, and allow women to serve as officials in the court!"
Every word Guo Sheng said left Guo Yang dumbfounded.
This, this is why the princess wants to return to Beijing?
"Brother." As soon as Guo Sheng opened his mouth, Guo Yang raised his hand and said, "Stop, I've already prepared the money for you to marry a wife. If you give me more, don't even think about calling me brother. Even if you call me dad, I can't make it happen!"
