Chapter 541 Shocking
Wan Yirou and Zhao were both surprised, and they both looked at Fubao at the same time.
"Sister Fubao, has Uncle Wan Er invited a gentleman for you?"
Wan Yirou felt that in an environment like that at the border, it was good enough to be well fed and well clothed. If anyone could send a child to school, it would definitely be a boy in the family, not a girl. Wan Yirou knew nothing about the world outside the mansion before, but after experiencing exile, she deeply realized the difficulties of the people, and understood more clearly why her father and brother tried so hard to protect the territory of Da Qi.
Because when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken, and the first to suffer are the people. They are already living in dire straits, and if the country is destroyed, they will definitely become slaves, and their lives will be even worse.
Fubao looked away from the post with bright eyes and looked at Wan Yirou.
"Of course, my husband is amazing. He has been to many places and knows a lot of things. He has also taught Fubao a lot of truths. Fubao can now recognize many words, all thanks to the husband."
Fu Bao's words shocked Wan Yirou and Zhao. When did such a powerful gentleman appear at the border?
"What's your husband's name?" Zhao couldn't help but ask. If he was really that powerful, she also wanted to invite him to her house to teach her daughter. Then she could keep Fubao in the capital and raise him by her side. After all, the conditions in the capital were definitely better than those at the border. Aunt Wan should agree.
Zhao just thought about it in her mind but didn't say it out loud. She still wanted to see what this gentleman thought.
Wan Yirou is almost reaching marriageable age and is now looking for a husband.
Although it is said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, Zhao feels that it is essential for girls to learn more things in order to establish themselves in life. Otherwise, if something happens to the family, the girl will only die.
Exile not only changed Wan Yirou's ideas, but also changed Zhao's ideas. This exile made both women become tougher in character and broadened their horizons, and they became less concerned about other things.
Fubao remembered that her husband had told her not to reveal his identity, so she said, "The husband's surname is Yan, and he told me to call him Mr. Yan."
"Mr. Yan?" After hearing this, Zhao thought carefully. In her impression, there didn't seem to be such a person. Was she overthinking?
Maybe Fubao is too young and hasn't been exposed to anything. He just learned from his teacher, so he is exaggerating? It seems that we still need to consider it carefully.
"Fubao, if your aunt lets you stay at my house and study with your sister Rou, would you be willing?"
Fubao looked at Zhao, then at Wan Yirou, and there was also anticipation in her eyes.
Although the Duke's Mansion is much quieter now than it was a few years ago, it is still a bit lonely. She is the only girl in the whole mansion and she doesn't even have anyone to talk to. She likes Fubao very much, and Fubao is a little older now, and he can keep her company, which can alleviate her loneliness.
"Aunt, do you want me to live here all year round?"
Fubao tilted his head and asked in a crisp voice.
"Of course. Isn't learning something that you do all year round? And when your sister Rou gets married, you will be a daughter of our Duke's Mansion. In the future, you can find a better man as a daughter of the Duke's Mansion."
Zhao felt that if she talked to a child about this, the child might not understand, but if she talked to Old Lady Wan, maybe she and the others would agree.
Fubao shook his head immediately, "No, aunt, I can't stay at your house all the time, I have more important things to do. This is the agreement between me and my husband. We have to go back to the border, there are more people there who need Fubao."
Zhao didn't quite understand what Fubao said.
"Fubao, you are so young and it is the right age for you to learn. There are some rules that you need to learn. You can stay in the Duke's Mansion and your aunt will teach you personally, okay?"
Fubao tilted his head to look at the maids and servants standing in the room, and immediately shook his head, "Aunt, mother and grandmother said that as long as Fubao lives happily and is a polite child, he doesn't need to learn any rules. The teacher also said that those rules are restraining women, destroying their physical and mental health, and making us unable to be free, but they are very tolerant to men, so men don't need to learn so many rules."
After Fubao finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.
"Fubao, did your husband say all this?" Zhao felt that this husband had taught Fubao bad things, so she should find some time to write a letter to Old Lady Wan.
Zhao had lived in such a mold since she was a child. She had been stereotyped and could not accept what Fubao said at all. She thought it was simply outrageous.
Fubao nodded, "Yes, that's what the master said, but Fubao thinks what the master said is very right, right?"
But what Zhao was thinking was: It's over, this child is hopeless, she must be corrected immediately, she is still young, maybe she can turn things around. Women can be capable, but they must abide by the rules.
"Fubao, don't talk about what you said outside anymore, okay? Once we leave this room, let's not talk about this, okay?"
Zhao coaxed Fubao softly, saying that after all, such a shocking idea would have a great impact on other women.
Although Fubao felt strange, she was always sensible, so she nodded according to Zhao's words.
Wan Yirou had different ideas, however. She somewhat agreed with Fubao's idea, but looking at her mother's expression, she knew that if her mother knew that she had such a dangerous idea, she would definitely make her kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment and copy the women's virtues and precepts.
"Sister Fubao, do you like the invitation you just saw?" Wan Yirou felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she wanted to change the subject.
Fubao immediately smiled and said, "Is this called an invitation? I like it."
Fubao expressed his preferences without hesitation.
"Then I'll take you to the banquet hosted by the princess tomorrow, okay?"
"Sister Rou, who is the princess?" Fubao was unfamiliar with the name in the capital.
"The princess is the prince's daughter. She is the same age as me and is very beautiful."
Fu Bao didn't care whether the princess looked good or not. She asked Wan Yirou directly: "Sister Rou, is there anything delicious at the banquet?"
Wan Yirou and Zhao laughed out loud at the same time.
"Of course there are delicious foods. The chefs in the palace are famous for their good cooking skills."
Zhao looked at Fubao with eyes full of fondness and thought that this child was so easy to raise.
What Wan Yirou was thinking was that every time they attended a banquet, they didn't seem to eat anything. Everyone was just busy showing off and competing with each other.
Maybe taking Fubao there this time will create a unique landscape.
