Chapter 205 Yuan Feifei's New Life
Looking at Liu Rushi's bulging belly, Zhao Xiaokun smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam! Get some rest! Follow Mr. Zhang's instructions, and you will definitely have a healthy baby!"
Liu Rushi smiled and said, "I wonder if my husband likes boys or girls?"
"Girl!" Zhao Xiaokun said firmly without hesitation for a second.
"Why? My husband didn't hesitate at all!" Liu Rushi said.
"Boys are too naughty! Zhao Xiaofei is particularly naughty. He has never made my mother and me worry since he was a child. When he was a child, whenever he got into trouble or was bullied by others, I had to solve the problem and fight with others. That's why boys are so worrying!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
After listening to this, Liu Rushi laughed and said, "You two brothers are really interesting! Was Xiaofei really naughty when he was a child? But aren't you naughty too?"
"My mom told me I was a very well-behaved kid! I was a good student, and she never had to worry about me! But most boys are just like Xiaofei!" Zhao Xiaokun said. In front of his woman, even his younger brother would be belittled. Other men were bad choices.
"My husband is such a boaster! I'd rather have a boy. I hope he'll become a great hero, a master of both civil and military skills. He'll save the world and the people, and turn the tide," Liu Rushi said. Such persistence! Liu Rushi had thought this way in the original historical trajectory, because she would have preferred a boy. She envied Princess Kunxing, Li Sihong, and Kou Baimen. They could lead troops and contribute to the Ming Dynasty. She, on the other hand, could only stay at home, offering advice to her husband and brother-in-law at best. Sometimes she felt like a mere advisor, with no future at all.
Recently, she heard that Qin Liangyu had been granted the title of a prince, which made her even more envious. Her restless heart was itching to make her own career. She even thought that with her own efforts, it would not be a problem for her to be granted the title of a marquis or a prime minister.
"In my eyes, it doesn't matter whether I have a boy or a girl! As long as they are my children, it's fine! I hope that one day when the weapons are put away and the horses are released into the mountains, I can accompany my children to travel all over the world. Let them see the world while walking! Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"How can women compare with men! Boys can have it, but we women can't! If everything is as my husband said, the world will be in chaos. Women will not stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, but will go out to work or study like men. Then who will take care of the children? Who will take care of the house?" Liu Rushi said.
Zhao Xiaokun thought about it and realized that feminism in modern society had gone a bit too far. A series of problems had arisen, but women's freedom brought them joy. Yuan Feifei, for example, was living a very good life in modern times.
Yuan Feifei is all the rage these days. After a recent misunderstanding at the mall was filmed and posted on TikTok, she's been voted the most beautiful court lady online. Her palace attire perfectly complements her elegance, giving her the air of a royal lady. She exudes dignity and poise, while also embodying the soft beauty of classical antiquity. With countless likes online, Qin Baobao saw this as an opportunity, so he secretly opened an entertainment company and signed his seemingly unseen sister-in-law as the first person to sign.
Her good sister, Wang Jiamin, was appointed as the company's financial director. Although Qin Xiaomi was young, she understood art and made her sister the art director.
After a few months, Yuan Feifei had basically adapted to modern life. She liked everything about modern society, except for the industrial pollution and its conveniences. She found it hard to imagine that Zhao Xiaokun and his brothers had given up such a good life to go to the Ming Dynasty and suffer.
In fact, everyone is the same. They think the scenery on the other side is better. But after looking at it for a long time, they will get tired of it. And the place you go is also the place that others are tired of.
Yuan Feifei loves watching hanfu (Chinese clothing) on Douyin, especially Ming Dynasty-style hanfu. She loves correcting mistakes, and her reasoning is compelling. You can't help but admire her. When Qin Baobao arrived at Zhao Xiaokun's villa, Yuan Feifei was lying inside, looking at her phone.
Qin Baobao came into the room and said, "Sister-in-law! Don't always do this. It's not good for the child!"
If Yuan Feifei heard something was bad for the child, she would immediately correct it. She sat up immediately because the doctor reminded her to always pay attention to her health. She couldn't get tired or lack nutrition.
Yuan Feifei's figure has been a bit off lately. Her face is as round as a plate, and she looks plump and pale. She looks a bit like Yang Guifei. This really bothers her. She always feels that Zhao Xiaokun won't recognize her when he comes back.
But for herself and her child, she still tries to eat more, and she is getting further and further on the road of weight gain!
"How come you have time to come here, sister-in-law? Are you not busy with company matters anymore?" Yuan Feifei asked.
"There's always work to do at the company. Take a break and come over to take a look!" Qin Baobao said.
"This is the drawing I drew these days. You can make a few Ming Dynasty costumes according to it. I saw that everyone on the Internet particularly likes the Ming Dynasty, so I drew a few more pieces!" Yuan Feifei said.
"Don't get tired, sister-in-law! If you get tired, I won't be able to explain to my brother!" Qin Baobao took it with a smile. Yuan Feifei used fine brushwork to paint, and she was not very good at using a computer.
Qin Baobao took it and looked at it. The painting method and the lines were perfect. Qin Baobao said, "Sister, you are really wronged at home! With your skills, you can become a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts!"
"Oh! After I give birth to the baby, can I find a job as a teacher?" Yuan Feifei asked.
"Of course! By then, sister-in-law can be an art teacher on Douyin, and people all over the country can watch your lectures!" Qin Baobao said.
Hearing that her course would be viewed by hundreds of millions of people nationwide gave Yuan Feifei a profound sense of accomplishment. Back in the Ming Dynasty, within the imperial palace, her paintings couldn't compare to those of Concubine Tian; Emperor Chongzhen wouldn't even glance at them! But here, she's considered an expert in traditional Chinese painting. One of her paintings recently sold on Douyin for over 80,000 yuan, the equivalent of several thousand taels of silver. It's a truly fulfilling feeling. Besides painting, she's also a leading voice in the field of Ming Dynasty Hanfu.
"From then on, I will sell Hanfu online and teach people how to draw!" Yuan Feifei was very happy.
Qin Baobao smiled outwardly, but inwardly he wondered: Where did this elder brother find such a wonderful woman? Sometimes he thought she was so noble and elegant, as if she had seen the world. Then, at other times, she seemed like a country girl with little experience, and everything needed to be explained to her. He wondered if only Africa could produce such a wonderful woman as his sister-in-law.
