Zhao Jun happily ended the conversation with the old man.
He will send me a lot of books tomorrow, and I only need to provide him with some ancient books from the Qin Dynasty.
Zhao Jun lay back on the bed in a relaxed mood and talked to the mirror.
"Mirror, my contribution points have already exceeded 1,000, right? How many contribution points do I need to unlock the next world?"
"Well, I took a look. Your current contribution value is one thousand and six. It will cost fifty-five thousand to upgrade to the next world." Perhaps knowing that Zhao Jun was in a good mood, Jingzi answered jokingly.
"Fifty-five thousand?"
This is also a considerable amount, Zhao Jun thought to herself, but compared to her previous anxiety, she now accepted the result calmly.
"Okay, keep going."
Zhao Jun left her bed with great difficulty.
Her stomach protested because it was dinner time.
Zhao Jun walked towards the kitchen, intending to reward himself for his hard work.
Who would have thought that I would meet Qingliu again.
Zhao Jun, who had some free time, thought carefully about what he had heard before.
Specifically, it seems that Qingliu's parents planned to sell their daughter for fame and fortune.
She looked at Qingliu. This time she was not with the eunuch, but an older woman who was also wearing the clothes of a palace maid. She didn't know what she did.
Zhao Jun walked over and listened quietly.
"Qingliu, I know about your relationship with Feng Quan. As someone who's been through this, I advise you to just agree. Look, I'm living a good life now. We're both women, and it's not a bad thing for us to find a man."
The older woman looked kind, but I didn't expect what she said was so unpleasant.
"Sister Zhuang, you don't have to say it. There is no way I will agree to Feng Quan." Qingliu still had a cold face and was not moved at all.
"Hey, Qingliu, if you are so stubborn, don't blame me for not giving you face." The woman suddenly said fiercely.
"You know what the relationship is between me and Cen Ling, right? I'm trying to talk you into it nicely, but you won't listen. Fine, when I get back I'll tell Cen Ling that you can forget about staying at East Second Prison."
After saying that, the woman no longer looked at Qingliu's expression, but walked away with her hips twisted.
Humph, if Feng Quan didn’t look like you, I wouldn’t want to bother with him just because of his cold face, the woman thought.
Zhao Jun listened silently for a while and felt that the woman was quite good at making harsh remarks!
"Master Zhao——"
When Qingliu called him, Zhao Jun had only one thought.
If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
…
I told you not to eavesdrop, and now you've been caught.
"Uh, Qingliu, I didn't mean to listen to you guys talking. I just happened to meet you." Zhao Jun turned around and smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay. It's okay if Lord Zhao hears it. It's not my fault anyway."
Although Qingliu saw someone, he was not panicked. He greeted her with a calm expression.
Zhao Jun was surprised. She was really honest and didn't seem to be at all flustered about having her private affairs discovered.
"Aren't you afraid?" she asked.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm all alone, and the worst that can happen is that we'll both die."
Qingliu replied, his calm eyes masking madness.
"Alone?"
Zhao Jun was puzzled. She had heard the whole story and knew that she was not an orphan and had someone at home.
Although he is not a good person.
Qingliu heard her doubt and spoke slowly.
"I have parents, but I also have two younger brothers. They didn't treat me like a daughter, but more like a free helper. I entered the palace at the age of ten because my family could get a load of millet and an annual salary. At that time, my family wanted my younger brothers to go to school, so they sent me here."
Qingliu spoke calmly, as if this was not her story.
"Now that my brothers are old enough to get married, they want to marry me off to an older eunuch." She paused for a moment.
"I've repaid the kindness of my childhood parents over the past few years. From now on, I'm on my own. No matter who they are, I'm not afraid of anything they do."
Qingliu said in a firm tone that a person is her best armor.
Zhao Jun listened silently, not knowing what to say.
she asked after a moment.
"Who was that woman just now? Is she very powerful?"
"Her name is Zhuang Qiuying. She doesn't hold an important position, but she has a close relationship with Cen Ling of Guanyong Lane. That is..."
She didn't know how to say that word, but Zhao Jun already understood.
It's the common couple in palace dramas.
No wonder he is so arrogant, it turns out he has someone backing him.
"I'm sorry, Lord Zhao, for saying so much to you suddenly." Qingliu said apologetically.
"Maybe I have never told anyone about these things, and I couldn't control myself when I talked about them." She looked at Zhao Jun who was standing in front of her.
"But I always feel that you are very different, different from everyone else in this palace. You are free, completely free."
Qingliu murmured, with a longing light in his eyes.
This was the first time someone spoke to her like this since she came into this world.
Zhao Jun was stunned, looking at the woman in front of him who was constrained by feudal ethics.
What could she say?
Can we say that this is a historical limitation that cannot be changed?
Or does it mean that even after thousands of years, the situation of favoring boys over girls remains unchanged?
Or perhaps this kind of freedom is something I cannot share because I have seen more civilized times.
She thought blankly for a moment, and finally said.
"Perhaps in the near future you will get the freedom you want."
