Chapter 033 Gaining a New Fangirl
"Right, right, right." Han Ruqing put aside the complicated and obscure thoughts in his mind and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Young lady, you are right. It was just a discussion under the moon. I am too narrow-minded."
Han Ruqing still felt a little uneasy. The cold wind blew, and his wet clothes stuck to his back, making him feel cold.
Especially when I saw Xu Zhenying's indifferent expression and deep pupils, he even dared to compare himself to Confucius in his words.
A woman who compares herself to a saint all the time. Is this arrogance ignorance or fearlessness?
Although she is still young, she seems to have a fierce heart. One can't help but wonder whether those words were her own thoughts or the teachings of her family elders?
If that were what I was thinking, it would be a bit too scary.
Well, how is it possible? She is just a woman.
He must have overheard something when the elders at home were discussing something, and couldn't wait to show it off.
There were many such ladies in the city of Bianjing who were eloquent but empty-headed. Their parents were just deliberately creating momentum for the girls' future, just to gain a reputation for their talent and marry better.
Han Ruqing figured this out and felt relieved. He sighed and said, "Miss, please don't let anyone else hear what you said, otherwise it will only bring you trouble! It's not easy for a girl to make a living in the world. If you want to gain a reputation for talent, that's understandable, but being cautious in what you say and do is the foundation of your life. Don't say such stupid things about women taking the imperial examinations and becoming officials in the future, or you'll get yourself into trouble!"
Even Liu Dazhuang shook his head and said, "With your tiny bodies, you were kidnapped as soon as you left the village, and you still dream of studying and becoming an official. What's the point of women studying? The right path is to get married early, take care of the household, and raise children!"
Xu Zhenying had no intention of arguing, and didn't get angry at the moment. He just smiled and said, "So, productivity constrains the level of social development. Given the current productivity, everything I said is truly wishful thinking. Just treat it as a debate, not a serious one. Please listen and forget it."
Han Ruqing said yes repeatedly, his eyes wandering a little, and then he left in a daze.
Liu Dazhuang also stood up and gave Xu Zhenying a naive smile. "Little girl, you are ambitious. Although I don't understand what you said about society and productivity, I think you are not a simple girl. Even if you don't become an official in the future, you will be a powerful figure!"
Xu Yinxi regained consciousness at this moment, a look of panic on her face. "Sixth sister, he won't tell anyone else, right? This...this...if father knew about this, he would definitely not forgive us!"
"Did we say anything?" Xu Zhenying smiled calmly and said, "We didn't say anything."
"But that Mr. Han..."
"Whatever he says, can't we just deny it outright? That Mr. Liu doesn't seem like a talkative person, so we'll just refuse to admit it. Besides, who can trust the words of two young women who have never left home and have little experience, or the words of a down-and-out aristocratic family who's been kicked out and is spreading rumors?"
"Ah?" Xu Yinxi calmed down inexplicably, and then found herself frightened and at a loss. Yes, wouldn't it be okay if they just didn't admit it?
Who would believe that a woman could say such shocking words?
Since these are shocking words, where did Sixth Sister hear these words from?
She wanted to ask, but at that moment, looking at those extremely calm eyes, she suddenly felt a little panicked and strangely restless.
"Miss Xu." A weak mosquito-like voice sounded, and Li Zhaodi turned back, not daring to look directly at Xu Zhenying.
Xu Yinxi made way, and Xu Zhenying leaned over and asked, "Miss Li, what's the matter?"
"Um...um..." Li Zhaodi held up the sewing kit in her hand, her eyes fixed on the shoe surface, and said shyly, "My mother has needles in her bag. Your blister...needs to be pricked as soon as possible...I thought you might need..."
Xu Zhenying raised an eyebrow, a little surprised and puzzled, "You came back specially to help me with the needlework?"
Li Zhaodi hummed, her face flushed all the way to her neck. "I just burned the needle over fire, it's clean."
Xu Yinxi also looked at Xu Zhenying curiously, covering her mouth with her hands and laughing, "When did Sixth Sister become so popular with girls?"
“No, no, no…” Li Zhaodi waved her hands quickly, finally looking up at Xu Zhenying, then lowered her head again like a frightened quail. “Today, I made a backpack according to Miss Xu’s method, which saved me a lot of effort along the way. In the evening, you taught us how to tie our legs and helped me collect firewood… You were the first one to ask if I needed help… You… You are a good person…”
Xu Zhenying was stunned for a moment, and repeated in disbelief, "Just because I asked if you needed help? But... I didn't help you in the end..."
"That's enough." Li Zhaodi raised her head this time, her palm-sized face full of shyness. It seemed that with her cultural background, she couldn't say anything pleasant. She just kept repeating, "You are a good person..."
Facing those bright and clear eyes, Xu Zhenying was suddenly stunned and deeply touched.
Li Zhaodi is obviously a person who lacks love and likes to please others. If Xu Zhenying shows a little kindness, Li Zhaodi will give everything for him regardless of the consequences.
Xu Zhenying was speechless. He looked at Li Zhaodi's age and saw that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She probably knew nothing and had no one to teach her. She just judged people's hearts with her innocent heart.
At this moment, Xu Zhenying was ashamed.
Xu Zhenying quickly adjusted his mood and smiled, "Thank you. I was just in need of a needle, and you came at the perfect time. But please leave the needle here, I'll return it to you after I use it. But..."
Xu Zhenying changed the subject, her eyes full of smiles, "Would you like to come over more often in the future? Next time we can study together, do some housework, or something like that?"
Li Zhaodi was stunned, her heart pounding. Looking at the smiling face in front of her, she felt unprecedented excitement and excitement.
"Why, you don't want to?"
"I do!" Li Zhaodi mustered up the courage to say that loudly, but then, as if she wasn't used to that level of voice, she lowered her voice again and asked tentatively, "Can I come and play with you later? Not during the day, as I have to take care of my brother and aunt. Is it okay at night? I still want to hear what you just said."
Xu Yinxi suddenly became nervous, "Miss Li, did you hear everything I just said?"
Although Li Zhaodi was a bit clumsy, she was very sensitive to emotions. Noticing Xu Yinxi's nervousness, she tensed up as well. She timidly said, "I heard some of it, but I didn't understand it. I just think you're amazing... They listen carefully to what you say..."
It's a good feeling to not be ignored...
Xu Yinxi felt relieved, but she only blamed herself for making such a fuss that she couldn't handle the situation. She said softly, "We can't tell anyone else what we said, otherwise my sixth sister and I will be in big trouble."
Li Zhaodi wanted to swear to heaven immediately, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Even if my mother asks, I won't tell anyone—"
