Chapter 65 It’s the Fairy Sister
Having said that, there is some truth to that statement.
After all, her father died for the Qin State. Ying Zheng always favored the generals under his command and never treated the soldiers harshly.
"Send it over." Ying Zheng relaxed his frown and said to the servant at the door.
Zhao Yuanxi's eyebrows curved. It turned out that his nephew was not such a heartless person. He was still easy to talk to!
The servants took out the food stored in the carriage with trepidation. There were boxes of snacks, which dazzled Zhao Yuanxi.
My goodness, this person must be a hamster! There are so many foods in the car, can they finish them?
She even secretly wondered if these things would spoil if left out for too long, would she get sick? But then she thought about how extravagant he was, how could he possibly eat something that had gone bad?
Isn't this a reflection of the reality that while the rich have wine and meat, there are people freezing to death on the streets?
Zhao Yuanxi sighed softly, stuffed all the snacks into the girl's arms, and wiped the mud off her face. "These should be enough for you to eat for a few days. Don't be reluctant to eat them, because they will spoil! When you return to the village, go find your village head Chu and ask him to find you a job. That way you can at least get some food."
Since Chu is willing to plead for the girl, he will probably agree to give the child a stutter.
The girl's eyes turned red in an instant, she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, "Fairy Sister, thank you!"
Zhao Yuanxi's body shook violently and he pulled the child up.
Look, this is someone who knows how to talk! It was the first time she heard someone call her Fairy Sister.
Zhao Yuanxi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "Oh! What are you talking about! I'm not some kind of immortal!"
Ying Zheng:.......
I can’t bear to watch!
"Do you like being called a fairy?" Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at the woman who was still laughing foolishly from time to time, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Zhao Yuanxi rested his chin on his hand, leaning lazily on the cushion, shaking his head and saying, "Young man, you really don't understand women!"
Ying Zheng was silent. Why should he understand women? He could have any kind of woman he wanted. Instead, they needed to understand themselves.
But now he really couldn't understand the woman in front of him. He always thought that she didn't seek fame or fortune, but wanted to be a saint. But the words "Fairy Sister" made her so happy that she wanted to give all her family fortune to others.
This is even more unreasonable than the previous empress dowager!
"Do you have any objections?" Zhao Yuanxi narrowed his eyes slightly and said dissatisfiedly when he saw that he looked depressed.
Ying Zheng pursed his lips and asked, "The Queen Mother gave my things away, I can't have any objection."
This made Zhao Yuanxi feel guilty, and he smiled awkwardly, "Sure, of course! Don't worry, I'll give you some snacks I made myself when we get back. I guarantee they'll be even better than yours."
Alas! When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If she hadn't taken her own carriage, why would she need to ask for help from this cheap nephew?
"But this can't be blamed solely on me. No matter how wrong it is, it's all the King Qin's fault!" Zhao Yuanxi spread his hands.
Ying Zheng glared, how could this be his fault again!
Zhao Yuanxi sighed and explained, "His father sacrificed his life for the Qin State. Logically, the Qin State should have taken care of his children. But now they live such a miserable life. Isn't it because the King of Qin failed to do his job?"
Ying Zheng suppressed his anger and snorted coldly, "Soldiers killed in battle can receive tax exemptions. If soldiers gain land through military merit, then their descendants can inherit it. Isn't that enough?"
"But for those who have no children but have elderly parents to support and young daughters to take care of, these will not bring them any benefits." Zhao Yuanxi retorted.
The girl before was the best proof.
"Women don't need to own land."
From ancient times to the present, men have been farming and women have been weaving. Men have been farming outside, while women have been weaving and raising silkworms at home. There is no need for women to farm.
"Is it not necessary? Or is it not allowed? Women need to eat, and of course they also need land. Without land, they can only rely on men."
Ying Zheng looked at himself and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but knock on his head, but considering her current strength, she was still very restrained.
But even so, Ying Zheng covered his head in pain and glared at Zhao Yuanxi fiercely.
Zhao Yuanxi continued, "What if the men die, or don't give them food? Are they just going to be ignored? The cloth on the men's backs is woven by women, so why do they have to rely on the men's moods for food?"
Ying Zheng had thousands of rebuttals in his mind, but considering Zhao Yuanxi's bull-like strength, he forced himself to hold them back.
"Forget it, what's the point of telling you this!" Zhao Yuanxi collapsed again.
The reason why women in ancient times had to rely on men for survival was largely because they were deprived of land.
People who leave the land can only drift with the waves like duckweed.
This is not only true for women, but also for men who have lost their land. It's just that women have been like this for thousands of years.
Zhao Yuanxi looked listless and stopped talking, which made Ying Zheng feel a little uncomfortable.
He frowned, thinking about what the person had just said, but no matter what principles he had learned since childhood or his own thoughts, he didn't think she was right.
But her attitude made him feel uncomfortable!
He wanted to shake the person up and continue talking, wanting to know what she was thinking, but Zhao Yuanxi had already closed her eyes.
......
Back at Liyang Palace, Zhao Yuanxi stretched himself. It had been such a comfortable ride! An expensive carriage certainly deserves its own value!
As agreed, Ying Zheng gave her a thousand acres of Qin land. Zhao Yuanxi smiled happily, stuffed him with a lot of food, and said goodbye to him reluctantly.
"Please take care of the matter in Chu!" Zhao Yuanxi raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Ying Zheng frowned, "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"
"Take care on your journey?" Zhao Yuanxi asked tentatively, afraid of upsetting him.
"Oh--"
Ying Zheng left without looking back.
Zhao Yuanxi has become accustomed to her nephew's occasional tantrums. She has more important things to deal with now, so she naturally doesn't take this matter to heart. She hums a little tune and walks towards Lan Ting.
When they were about to leave the inner city, Ying Zheng suddenly stopped the convoy.
Ying Zheng said calmly, "Go to Canglang Pavilion."
Lu Le was not surprised. Prince Fusu was now in Canglang Pavilion. They had not seen each other for almost three months. It was reasonable for them to meet.
The convoy stopped near Canglang Pavilion.
Gao Sheng, who came to deliver pens, ink, paper and inkstone to the students of Canglang Pavilion, happened to run into Ying Zheng's convoy.
At first he was not sure if this was the king's carriage, but when he saw Eunuch Lu Le, he was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground to pay homage.
Ying Zheng got off the carriage, glanced at the young eunuch lying on the ground, and said to Lu Le, "Let him know what to say and what not to say!"
