Chapter 398, Fellow villagers meet fellow villagers
"Wanwan, you really did an amazing thing on this trip to Hezhou. Since ancient times, favoring sons over daughters has become a historical shackle. I tried my best, but I couldn't shake the stubborn ideas in the hearts of the people."
"I used to rule the country from behind the curtain, and even thought about overthrowing the emperor and becoming the empress myself."
"But by doing so, I would only fulfill my own hegemony, and would not be able to help the lower-class women whom I sympathize with in the slightest."
"But one day, you appeared."
"Baby, do you know how shocked I was when you mentioned the law to protect girls as soon as you opened your mouth?"
"My heart, which had been silent for many years, burned from that moment on."
"Because of your appearance, your mother's strengths blossomed, and I also found more like-minded people, such as You Yan and Li Qian. They have been doing what I want to do."
"You did a great job in the Hezhou incident. This matter directly affects the establishment of the law, so I asked you to come here and take a look."
"Wanwan, look, are their futures as bright as yours?"
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up slightly, pointing to the busy figures outside the window, her eyes full of expectations.
She was not far away from the world of equality between men and women in her dreams.
Xia Wanwan's face was solemn, and she said slowly, "No, it's not the same!"
"They have their own light, not like me."
After the words fell, the sound of reading came from outside the courtyard.
"Confucius said: A gentleman is not serious, he will not be respected, and his learning will not be solid..."
Women are also gentlemen.
"The Ninth Princess is knowledgeable, can you explain it a little?"
After the reading sound was silent, Li Qian came over and invited Liu Wan to check the classroom.
Liu Wan: "It's my honor!"
The Queen Mother and others sitting nearby were all smiling.
"Little Princess."
Zhong Youyan quietly pulled Xia Wanwan aside, squatted down to look at her, her eyes sparkling:
"There is a kind of wild flower on this mountain, as sweet as honey. When the spring breeze blows, it grows wantonly all over the mountain. I want to take you to see it and feel the free mountain breeze."
Xia Wanwan put her thumb in her mouth and nodded.
Then, Zhong Youyan picked her up and put her in front of the horse, and the two rode away.
Xiao Fuxing also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jinyu, "She has something to say."
On the mountain.
Zhong Youyan found a good place to take Xia Wanwan to sit down.
Here, you can see the buildings of the capital and enjoy the best scenery in the world.
"Little Princess."
"Just call me Wanwan." Xia Wanwan said with a smile.
Zhong Youyan pinched her little face and said lovingly, "Okay, Wanwan."
"Wanwan, look, that place all over the mountains is the flowers I mentioned, but I brought you here not just to see the flowers."
Xia Wanwan looked over where she pointed,
"Then what are you looking at?"
"Look at the suffering of all people in the world, look at the hardships of women in the world, look... look at them as tenacious as wild flowers that can never be burned by wildfires..."
"Wanwan, do you know?"
"In the capital, I relied on my status as a princess and the money of the Zhong family to do my best to help every girl out of trouble. I thought I could illuminate this era, but when I saw the countless girls who died in Hezhou City, I felt deeply powerless."
"Only then did I realize that this era cannot be changed by me alone."
"Until you appeared, you proposed the law to protect girls, you blew up the abandoned baby tower, you helped many people, do you know how much I admire you?"
Zhong Youyan looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Xia Wanwan put away her canthus and asked quietly, "How much do you admire?"
Zhong Youyan: ·······
"Wanwan, what I want to tell you is that if one day you want to take on the responsibility of liberating women in the world, don't forget me!"
"I have avant-garde ideas and I don't care about etiquette. I also want to protect my country and I also want to... I want to stop women from suffering."
"Can you understand?"
She held Xia Wanwan's little face and rubbed it while talking.
Xia Wanwan saw the tears in her eyes, but didn't dare to ask more.
In fact, her ideas are more avant-garde.
"I know, let go of my face first, my face is not made of dough." Xia Wanwan pouted and said, her face was kneaded into a ball.
Zhong Youyan let her go with a smile, and rubbed her head.
He took out a bag of mung bean cake from his arms, "This is the mung bean cake from Qianzhou City, you try it first, and when I travel all over the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daxia, I will bring you something else."
Xia Wanwan's eyes lit up instantly, and she took the mung bean cake and tasted it.
"Wanwan, do you know Mr. De and Mr. Sai?"
Hearing the two familiar words. wωω.ξìйgyuＴxt.иeΤ
Xia Wanwan's hands trembled, and the whole person froze in place, even forgetting to put the cake in her hand to her mouth and continue eating.
"What is it?"
She stared at Zhong Youyan, afraid to miss the look in her eyes. The shock in her heart was indescribable, and it seemed that it would burst out in the next moment.
"It's democracy and science!" Zhong Youyan said seriously,
"Wanwan, only by holding high the banner of democracy and science can we fire at feudal ideas and ethics, and promote Mr. Democracy and Mr. Science to the people. I believe that our country will definitely lead the world!"
If democracy and science had been promoted to the people a thousand years ago, China would not have been bullied by foreigners, ceded territory, and signed contracts a thousand years later.
There would not have been the hardships during the Anti-Japanese War.
China would have been liberated early, opened its doors wide, and led the world by a long way!
There was a burning spark in Zhong Youyan's eyes, like a spark of fire, setting the prairie on fire with a tiny light, unstoppable!
Her eyes were burning.
Xia Wanwan was even more excited!!!
She thought! She was the only time traveler in this Great Xia Dynasty!
Unexpectedly, Zhong Youyan also came from this world!
Moreover, he was of good family background and had such high ideological and political awareness, which was even better than hers!
Xia Wanwan stood up suddenly, and the cakes were scattered all over the floor.
She was unable to describe the shock in her heart. She couldn't tell how she felt in her heart. Her eyes were wet, and she cried into Zhong Youyan's arms.
[Wuwuwu, fellow villagers meet, and tears well up in my eyes!]
Zhong Youyan patted her on the back, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You are also shocked by the two gentlemen, right?"
Just saying this, the little princess was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
She couldn't imagine how inspiring it would be if the whole Xia Dynasty really had a day of ideological liberation.
Xia Wanwan shook her head.
She was not shocked by the two gentlemen, but by the fact that she could meet a woman whose thoughts were so consistent with hers in such an era.
But such a person was also a time traveler like her!
She was so excited that she couldn't speak, and her little feet stomped on the grass.
"Wanwan, why don't you ask me what democracy and science mean?" Zhong Youyan was a little confused.
In the past, when she and Xiao Fuxing mentioned these two words, Xiao Fuxing would ask about the meaning of these two words for a long time.
Could it be that the little princess's ideological enlightenment has reached this level?
But she is an ancient person after all.
Xia Wanwan sniffed and exchanged glances with Zhong Youyan.
[Yes, Sister Youyan doesn't know that I also came from a time travel. ]
[Since you don't know, let's exchange a secret code. 】
She leaned close to Zhong Youyan's ear and whispered,
"Odds change, but evens remain the same."
