"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
Ji Nianqin was celebrating the children's birthdays. Since none of them knew when they were born, she had to make it today. In fact, today was also the Crown Prince's real birthday, but he could only do his homework silently, looking particularly pitiful, and constantly comforting himself. "It's okay, it's just a birthday."
Despite saying this, the prince suddenly burst into tears.
"Sister, did you hear anything? Is someone crying?"
"That must be a girl from ancient times. You have to know that not all great people are born that outstanding. Many of them started out as indomitable, brave, kind, optimistic, and strong little people. For example, in the famous novel Journey to the West, the true and false Monkey Kings were ultimately distinguished by their kindness. The same is true for Dream of the Red Chamber, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, etc..."
"Woo woo woo~"
The prince's crying became louder and louder, as if he wanted to make his presence felt and draw attention to himself.
"One story contains multiple smaller stories: the bad guys are killed or become allies, the good guys become bad or remain good, and the people around you, like the Fiery Eyes and the Sparkling White Bone Demon. In short, my sister's point is that biographies of small characters are more interesting, just like the popular romantic dramas on TV right now, where the heroine relies on her own efforts, while the boyfriend can provide some superficial assistance, or perhaps they grow together."
"I understand, sister. You mean that only when a girl has an independent personality can she be respected by others, and respect is given to herself. So, I won't give my homework to my prince brother to do it for me."
"Actually, I didn't think so. After all, it was a punishment for him. It's certainly wrong to ask others to do his homework, but for him to do it so poorly is compounding the problem. He deliberately made me embarrassed in front of your class teacher. Many parents in the group laughed at me."
"Sister, don't be angry. I'll go find him and ask him why he did that."
"Don't worry about him. He deserves it. Now he has to write more as punishment, and he has to rewrite it. Think of it as you asking me to vent my anger. Besides, it's your birthday today, so I'll keep it a secret. Let him write, but not at other times. You have to do your own things."
"Since you said so, as children, we can't refuse, so we can only do it. Sister, can you tell us what kind of jobs girls like us in ancient times could do when they grew up?"
"If you meet a matchmaker, she's the equivalent of a human trafficker today. You'll be sold off by her. If you're pretty, you'll marry into a wealthy family and become a mistress. If you can't get married, you'll end up working as a singing girl in a brothel. So, whether you think matchmakers are hateful or not, there are still girls who want to be matchmakers. Earning that kind of dirty money, and then spending it will really make you feel good. Sooner or later, you'll end up depressed."
"Sister, I really don't want to go back. My three good friends and I have decided to stay in the modern world. One of us will become a teacher, one a flight attendant, one a doctor, and the other one, me, wants to be a lawyer."
"Female lawyers? That's quite impressive. They're pretty much like lawyers today, but they weren't very respected in ancient times."
And just then...
