Chapter 33

Shen Zhiyi's small face is very pretty, with a pair of round eyes like black grapes, willow leaf eyebrows, cherry mouth, oval face, a standard beauty.

It can be seen that she is still young and has not yet bloomed, but her beauty will only be more outstanding in the future than it is now.

However, the most important thing in Huaijing is beauties. The nobles of the aristocratic families use their power to pile up the noble girls. They are more beautiful than each other. It stands to reason that Minghuai has been used to seeing all kinds of girls since he was a child.

Why do you suddenly fall in love with a girl who hasn't grown up yet?Does he like this style?

Ming Xinyi's eyes were gradually burning hot, and Shen Zhiyi wanted to back away, the empress's eyes seemed to eat people, Shen Shaowei also felt the queen's eyes, she moved over quietly, slightly covering up Shen Zhiyi.

Qiusui coughed softly to remind her mother not to stare at other women, otherwise she would think she had committed some crime.

"Get up quickly, don't be too polite, come, come, sit here."

She pointed to the place opposite to a woman in blue. Sitting there was the Crown Princess Ruan Xiting whom the two had met a long time ago. She nodded to the two of them and said nothing.

Qiu Sui led the two to sit down. Ming Xinyi didn't know that they had met before, so she introduced them enthusiastically. This gesture was completely different from the dignified and generous empress just now.

"This is the concubine, Ziyu, these are the two maids of the Shen family. They will learn etiquette in the palace school in the future. If you have time, you can help me take care of it."

This is Minghuai's future bride, she has to take good care of it, otherwise if Minghuai's bride is lost, she won't be able to compensate him.

Ruan Xiting nodded slightly in response: "It's the queen mother."

After the introduction, Ming Xinyi looked at Shen Zhiyi and asked, "Have you read any books at home?"

Although it has been said since ancient times that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, men don't like women who are too smart, so they set various rules and don't allow them to read too many books, but you still have to read the four teachings of women's script.

Shen Shaowei shook her head and replied, "I have only read the Four Trainings of Nushu."

She is smart and eager to learn, but her family will not let her read too many books. After all, she will take care of the inner house in the future, and she is not going to be the number one scholar, so why do she read so many books.

Shen Zhiyi looked at Ming Xinyi's satisfied smile, and seeing her turn her gaze to him, seemed to be looking forward to her answer.

But Shen Zhiyi is destined to disappoint Ming Xinyi.

The corner of the little girl's lips twitched into a smile, she raised her head slightly and said confidently: "If you go back to your mother, I have read too many books, and I can't count them. I have dabbled in classics, history, zi, and anthology."

In her previous life, Jiang Huaice was fighting abroad, and she was tortured by Jiang Shangshu's house. She was physically and mentally exhausted, and only those volumes of books accompanied her through so many difficult nights.

From the book, I can get a glimpse of the wisdom of the predecessors, and follow them through thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Books are good medicine that can cure the suffering in the world, and a magic weapon for her to escape reality.

Listening to Shen Zhiyi's words, Ming Xinyi's smile obviously couldn't hold back. She didn't expect that she had read so many books, but none of them were the Four Trainings of Nushu?

For a moment, Ming Xinyi didn't know what to say, but the smile on Shen Zhiyi's face was very sincere, as if she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with reading so many irrelevant books.

"Zhizhi, don't talk nonsense in front of the empress."

Shen Shaowei took Shen Zhiyi's hand and hurriedly made amends, but the empress can't punish Zhizhi just because she read too many books.

"Didn't your mother let you study Nushu?"

Listening to Ming Xinyi's words, Shen Zhiyi nodded and said: "Naturally, I also read them, but those books are naturally the most useful for my courtiers."

She knew what Ming Xinyi wanted to hear, but she didn't want to say it, she didn't want to marry these princes and nobles, so naturally she didn't need to be the good girl they said.

"Oh? Come to think of it, I don't understand. It is said that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. In the future, women will become brides, and these books will not be used to manage the inner house. Only the four trainings of women's scripts are important. The foundation of the inner house."

Ming Xinyi didn't show any anger on her face, hearing what Shen Zhiyi said made her want to hear this little girl's different opinion, how could this thing since ancient times be an exception for her?

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue. This statement is not accurate. In the eyes of the courtiers, no matter whether they are talented or not, the things that girls can do are not only in charge of the inner house, but also the female scripts compiled by the queen. The four trainings are not all about teaching girls, only taking care of the inner house is their destination."

"This world is difficult, and it's not easy for women to survive. The courtiers know that in this world, most men want women to be docile and well-behaved, but women may show their talents in other worlds."

"Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, those invisible and intangible bright scenery, beautiful rivers and mountains, you can also get a glimpse of one or two through this book in your hand. This is the meaning of reading, and you don't have to compete with men. Ups and downs are to make myself no longer poor."

Shen Zhiyi's words were very gentle, but she could hear firm strength in these few words. In her previous life, Shen Zhiyi also firmly believed that when she got married, the world she would live in from now on would only be in that house.

To be in charge of the middle class, to take care of the family affairs, and not to worry about the husband who is away is what she has to do. Everyone in the world wants them to obey the four virtues, to be obedient and docile, and to regard their husbands as heaven.

But she obeyed and did as well, what was the result?Is it because people don't understand that a word of filial piety means that she will suffer a lot and have nowhere to complain?

Is it because her husband is out fighting, married for five years, and she manages the entire Hou Mansion by herself, is it so sad that no one understands it?

Or is she swallowing her anger and not daring to dress up gorgeously one day, just afraid that others will say that she is helpless in wanting to have sex with her husband while her husband is away?
She also thought about why the world was so unfair to her and why it was so unfair to women, but after crying a lot, she realized that what bound them was not only the rules set by the men, but also themselves.

That's why she doesn't care about the world and other people in her new life. She wants to be a free and unfettered Shen Zhiyi, not the Shen Zhiyi who can see the end at a glance and waits for Jiang Huaice.

It's already difficult, why not be willful.

Shen Zhiyi also felt that her thoughts were a bit deviant.It violated most of the rules in the world, but if she was aggrieved after being resurrected for the first time, the immortal who made her resurrect would slap herself to death, cursing why she was given this opportunity.

Several people were a little stunned when they heard Shen Zhiyi's words, but Ming Xinyi was the first to react, her eyes were full of approval, she had never thought that she could understand like this.

I was a little shaken by her words, they can't go thousands of miles away, they can't see any beautiful rivers and mountains, only books can glimpse a thing or two, so it's true.

"That's right. It's not for competing, but for making yourself no longer poor. Fourth Miss Shen, you are really a wonderful person."

Ruan Xiting looked at Shen Zhiyi, lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, it turned out that only himself was trapped, not his identity, nor the East Palace.

 "Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, those invisible and intangible bright scenery, beautiful rivers and mountains, you can also get a glimpse of one or two through this book in your hand. This is the meaning of reading, and you don't have to compete with men. Ups and downs are to make myself no longer poor."

  This sentence is also sent to my little girls!Live soberly and independently!
