Bai Yao was stunned. Isn't there only one way to live, which is to take care of your husband and children?
All the women she had met since she was a child were like this, observing the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and spending their lives supporting their husbands and raising their children.
But in fact, women can also change the way they live?
I can also live freely like the young lady, without caring about what others think, as long as I am happy.
Seeing her fall silent, Chen Li picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip. "Ayao, the thing people fear most in life is trapping themselves. If you confine yourself to that small space, then your life will just pass by in a daze. Do you want that?"
Does she want this?
She probably didn't want to. If she hadn't met the young lady in the bandit's lair, she thought she would have died with her family in a white silk scarf.
And now, she is still living in confusion, but doesn't know why she is living.
"Do you want a different life?"
"think!"
This time, Bai Yao did not hesitate any longer and spoke directly about what was in her mind.
She is still young and can write her own future life and live it colorfully.
Chen Li nodded. Bai Yao finally came out. From the moment she was rescued from the bandit's lair, although she looked no different from a normal person, she was actually like a puppet. She had lost her own thinking and was only obsessed with that one dead principle.
Now I finally convince her!
This girl is indeed a bit stubborn, but fortunately she has figured it out now, so it’s not in vain that all my efforts were made.
Next, Chen Li told him some plans, but Bai Yao still had some concerns in his mind.
"Miss, can I do this alone?"
She will try her best to deal with the female guests, but as for the male guests, she is afraid that she will not be able to treat them normally for the time being.
"Don't worry, you'll just be in charge of the female customers in this shop, and someone else will be in charge of the male customers."
Bai Yao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It wasn't that she had any prejudice against men, but there was still a knot in her heart that hadn't been untied. Fortunately, the young lady already had a plan.
"Okay, that's all for today. If you have time, go to the yard and see the people I bought. It will be easier to manage them in the future if you are familiar with them now."
"Um."
…
The books and test papers that Pei Yu asked people to prepare were finally delivered before they set off.
Chen Li looked at the box of books in front of her and swallowed. Does the assessment of Zhilushan Academy involve so much knowledge?
"You didn't take too much, did you?"
"No, the exam papers of Lushan Academy are different from those of other academies. They cover a wider range of topics. If you have time, you should try to read more of these books."
Chen Li calculated the time. There were still about 25 days left until the exam, so the schedule was a bit tight.
Then the only option is to let the third brother study late into the night and read as much as he can.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate!
Shen Qi'an, who was reading a book: A-choo~
He rubbed his nose and continued to focus on the book.
Pei Yu looked at Chen Li's little appearance and liked him very much. He really wanted to pinch his soft and tender cheeks, but now, he knew without thinking that it was impossible.
Chen Li picked up the top paper and looked at it for a while, then put it down silently. After all, she was a 985 university student in modern times. How come she has become illiterate now?
The content of this paper is just as Pei Yu said, covering a wide range of topics. Not to mention other general topics, even food, clothing, housing and transportation are mentioned, and there is even a question about unofficial history.
"When are you leaving?" Chen Li propped up her chin lazily and looked at the person in front of her.
Hearing her mention this, Pei Yu pursed his lips. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to leave.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When did he become so sentimental?
"I'll be leaving soon."
Chen Li nodded. She had asked the cook to prepare some dry food early in the morning, and it should be ready by now.
Fortunately, it was not snowing today and the sky was clear. Several carriages were parked in front of the Shen family's house, ready to take them to the dock.
Lu Nian held Shen Xiaoya with one hand and pulled the corner of Shen Li's clothes with the other hand, "Sister A Li~"
Chen Li knew what she wanted to say, patted her head, and said nothing.
Lu Jing looked at Shen Qi'an, "Brother Shen, let's meet again next time."
The two of them got along quite happily during this period and now they are like brothers. Even the box of books that Pei Yu just sent, Shen Qi'an quickly copied a copy and gave it to Lu Jing.
"good."
Pei Yu's injuries had not healed yet, so he naturally couldn't ride a horse and could only take a carriage. Mo Qing had always disliked this kind of atmosphere and had already boarded the carriage first.
"Sister Ali, Little Duck, I'll come again next time."
That’s what I say, but I don’t know when the next time will be.
Shen Xiaoya's face was full of reluctance. Lu Nian was the first friend she made. "A Nian, goodbye."
Pei Yu also got on the carriage. There was a charcoal brazier in the carriage, which was warm. When the carriage was about to leave, he lifted the curtain on the side and looked at Chen Li with gentle eyes.
"Ali..."
wait for me!
There were too many people here, and he was worried about damaging her reputation, so he didn't say the last two words, but Shen Li understood what he wanted to express.
A smile appeared on her lips, but she didn't say anything. She didn't even understand her own thoughts yet, let alone respond to him.
The carriage started moving, and Pei Yu looked at her deeply. He didn't know when they would meet again, and he just wanted to engrave her appearance firmly in his heart.
The others also obviously noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right. Lu Jing had not yet boarded the carriage. Seeing this, he lowered his eyes and got on the carriage, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.
After all, Ali treats Master Pei a little differently!
Thinking of this, he clenched his hands involuntarily and lifted the car curtain, "Sister Ali."
Hearing him calling her, Shen Li looked over and said, "See you at Lushan Academy."
A dark light flashed in Pei Yu's eyes. If he still couldn't figure out what this brat was thinking, then he would have lived all these years in vain.
However, Ali treated him no differently. Although she tried hard to convince herself, she still felt uncomfortable. She lowered the curtain and ignored Mo Qing's eyes who was watching the show.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Listening to the conversation outside the carriage curtain, Mo Qing reached out and touched Pei Yu's arm.
"Tsk, you just look at that kid..."
Pei Yu picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, blocking his mouth and preventing him from speaking.
Now Ali doesn’t know what Lu Jing is thinking, but it would be bad if Mo Qing found out.
Several carriages slowly set off and the Lu family became quiet.
During this period, Chen Li devoted all her energy to the store and was also busy training the shop assistants.
Sometimes she would stay in the store for the whole day, but fortunately she is not afraid now, otherwise, she probably wouldn't want to go out.
"Ali, the charcoal in the backyard has been cold for two days. It's time to start the kiln!"
She happened to be at home today, and it was not until Shen Yuanzhou came to remind her that Shen Li remembered the charcoal kiln in the backyard.
