The time came as scheduled, September 16th.
Ji Yu came to the door with gifts. Although the Ji family is a merchant family, who can blame him for having such a big business?
Even Shen's father had to give him some face and treated Ji Yu with great courtesy.
However, the two of them only met once, and Shen's father left Shen Chengzhi to accompany his concubine.
He was unwilling to have dinner with his own son on his birthday.
When Shen's father left, Shen Chengzhi's eyes were inevitably a little lost. It was only for that moment, and he quickly returned to normal.
This must be the case, and it's not the first time. That's why he was able to adjust his emotions so quickly.
After the servants were sent away, the small courtyard, which was already small, seemed a little empty.
"You sit here and wait for me for a while. I'll go bring Jinjin over." After Shen Chengzhi finished speaking, he left Ji Yu and slipped to the next room.
When Shen Jinjin came in from the side door, she saw a beautiful person sitting at the table.
The boy was about 13 or 14 years old, with the same short haircut as his brother, and looked very neat and tidy. He was handsome, and his eyes showed a gentle look when he looked at him from the side.
She walked over obediently, and the moment she met the boy's eyes, she felt as if she saw thousands of stars.
“This is my sister Shen Jinjin.” Shen Chengzhi introduced quickly.
"Hello, sister Jinjin, this is the gift I brought you." Ji Yu did not come empty-handed, and gave Shen Jinjin two books on enlightenment thought.
Although these books are listed as banned books, they are priceless treasures in the eyes of some people.
Shen Jinjin was still in a daze until her brother poked her and she came back to her senses.
A blush quickly spread across the girl's cheeks, then to her ears, and then to her neck.
"Brother...Hello, brother."
It can be seen that Shen Jinjin is a little nervous, and her speech is a little stuttering.
[Ding! The target's favorability increased by 10. The current favorability is 10.]
Shen Chengzhi rubbed his disappointing sister, feeling a little disappointed.
He admitted that Brother Ji was indeed handsome, but his brother was not bad either! I never saw her show this expression to me.
"This is Ji Yu, a good friend I met in the academy." Shen Chengzhi introduced.
Ji Yu extended his hand and said solemnly again: "My name is Ji Yu, and I'm glad to meet Sister Jinjin."
The foreign handshake etiquette has become popular in the school these days. But Shen Jinjin didn't know how to do it, and she scratched her palms with both hands, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Handshake." Shen Chengzhi grabbed his sister's hand carelessly.
The moment their hands clasped, Shen Jinjin's cheeks flushed unusually again.
This was the first time in six years that the little girl had seen a man other than her father, brother and servants.
She was a little confused and at a loss, not knowing how to get along with the other person.
Shen Jinjin's body was slightly hunched. Although he was only 6 years old, he pretended to be old and weak with a hunched back.
Ji Yu withdrew his hand, and couldn't help but said to Shen Chengzhi: "Let my sister sit down. It will be uncomfortable to bend over like this."
Ji Yu stood straight, and when Shen Jinjin looked up at him, layers of sunlight shone on his face, making him look even more handsome.
"Thank you, Brother Ji." Shen Jinjin's every move already showed the outline of a lady from a noble family.
Shen Chengzhi and Ji Yu have been chatting, from the reforms of the old era to new ideas, from the superiority of men to the equality of men and women in the future.
Ji Yu said: Women hold up half the sky!
Ji Yu said: Who says women are inferior to men!
Ji Yu also said: Life is just like a dream, so be true to your conscience and live up to the present.
…………
From the Four Books and Five Classics to astronomy and geography, Shen Jinjin had never heard of so many new and interesting things.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Ji Yu changed again and again, and finally changed from admiration to respect.
She hopes to be someone like Ji Yu. She also wants to shine and be the woman he describes her as.
She also didn't want to be trapped in a large mansion all her life. She also wanted to see the snow-capped mountains that Ji Yu mentioned, the grasslands with herds of cattle and sheep, and the people with blond hair and blue eyes.
"Jinjin, what do you think?" Ji Yu saw that the little girl was listening attentively but said nothing.
I couldn't help but ask for her opinion.
"My sister has only been enlightened for a short time. How could she understand such a profound question? Don't embarrass my sister." Shen Chengzhi hurriedly smoothed things over for Shen Jinjin.
Shen Jinjin nodded somewhat at a loss, and lowered her head shyly when she was suddenly called.
She wanted to listen to her brother and Brother Ji chatting. She had never heard anyone like Brother Ji who could talk about so many new and interesting things.
"I think what Brother Ji said is right." Shen Jinjin didn't know what to say, she just nodded in agreement.
"Jinjin, what I'm asking is, if one day men and women are equal, and women can engage in a variety of different professions, what kind of person would you most like to be?"
Ji Yu looked at the girl in front of him with burning eyes.
The little girl didn't quite understand what a career was. In her little head, there was nothing suitable for women to do. Shouldn't women only be suitable for doing laundry, cooking and housework at home?
"Brother Ji is very suitable to be a teacher. Although I don't understand a lot of what you say when you chat with me, I still think it sounds good. I want to continue listening."
"I also want to be the same person as Brother Ji."
After all, she is still young, and her head can only accommodate such a small space.
"So you want to be a teacher!" Ji Yu raised his eyes and stared at the girl in front of him seriously.
