Kissing is truly a wonderful and magical thing. It is better than a thousand words and can tightly connect two hearts.

As before, the two people were lying side by side on the bed again, but they were no longer busy testing each other's feelings, and they no longer had to worry about silence.

"Wen Yidi, do you know why the businessman ended up in the current situation?"

Xu Shihuan lay on the bed, raised his head and looked at the roof, pretending to ask casually. Wen Yidi turned sideways and looked at Xu Shihuan's side face longingly, but couldn't give an accurate answer for a long time.

"You know, businessmen always have to lower themselves in front of the world. Women always have to lower their eyebrows and be submissive in front of men. Common people always have to lower themselves in front of officials. Why?"

"Is it because businessmen, women, and ordinary people are born inferior to others? Are they born to be inferior to others? Are they determined to be stubborn and never have any resistance?"

"If you say yes, you are absolutely wrong. In the imperial examination, many of the people who won the gold medal were from poor families. At the beginning of the founding of the Wanhua Kingdom, the Queen Mother Shen led a group of women to stabilize the foundation of the country. As for the merchants , do you know what the late emperor relied on to respond to a hundred calls before he achieved hegemony?"

"Is it... doing business?"

Wen Yidi's tone was full of hesitation. He had read through history books, but there was no mention of this period of the late emperor's experience in the book.

"Yes, it depends on the money saved by doing business. In life, some people are high and some are as humble as mud. In the final analysis, it comes down to these two words: money and power."

"People with power must be rich, such as those relatives of the emperor. They don't have to do anything in their lives. They can enjoy fine clothing, food, wealth, and wealth just by virtue of their background."

"But rich people may not have power, such as businessmen. Wanhua Kingdom cannot do without businessmen. Without businessmen, how would the money flow from the hands of the common people to the hands of the royal family. But the emperor is also afraid of businessmen, for fear that one day the Wen family will leave The path he has walked."

"So, no matter what you do good or bad, no matter whether the Wen family tolerates or resists, you can't eliminate the emperor's fear. This is not the fault of the businessman, nor the fault of the Wen family, nor the fault of you, Wen Yidi. Do you understand? Already?"

Xu Shihuan looked straight into Wen Yidi's eyes, hoping to read more emotions from his eyes. She watched Wen Yidi's expression change from surprise to worry, and then to relief.

"I see."

Wen Yidi thought for a long time before speaking cautiously. What Xu Shihuan just said sounded shocking at first, but if you think about it carefully, that's what it was all about.

In comparison, what parents have been telling Wen Yidi is like a joke:

As long as he does his job well and does not make the nobles in the palace unhappy, the Wen family and even the businessmen around the world can live a good life.

They often say that flies don't bite seamless eggs. But in this position, Wen Yidi realized that some malice does not need a reason. Even if he is cautious and does everything within his capabilities to the best, he will still be made things difficult by the nobles in the palace.

But now, Xu Shihuan told him that all this was not his fault, but that this was the way the world was.

When he said these words, Xu Shihuan was constantly fighting in his heart. To be fair, this shouldn't be said, and even if it were to be said, she shouldn't be the one to say it.

Perhaps Xu Shihuan knew that Wen Yidi was born in a merchant family. Although he could read and write, his chances of discussing state affairs were almost zero. In the book, he suffered for many years and took many detours before he figured out that the Wen family's situation was actually a dead end.

Now, because of her, Wen Yidi has avoided many disasters, but he has also lost the opportunity to grow. She didn't want to see Wen Yidi being restrained by his family's responsibility and filial piety. She wanted Wen Yidi to understand the truth of all this.

"What about you? Have you ever been troubled because you are a woman?"

Wen Yidi asked rhetorically.

"me……"

Xu Shihuan did not rush to answer, but seriously thought about this question. After a while, she answered firmly:

"It used to happen, but not anymore."

When he was a child, more than one person said to Xu Shihuan, what a pity, it would be great if this was a boy. Faced with her mother's indifference and her father's neglect, she often asked herself, if she were a boy, would everything be different?

But as she got older, Xu Shihuan gradually discovered that those who talked about pity were often women.

Invisibly, men and women are divided into two groups. In the military camp, in the court, and even in all walks of life, men have become the world. The back house has become the only destination for women.

Many women who do not want to be restrained by the back house and want to show off their talents are often warned by their elders, friends, and even strangers who are also daughters before they start to act:

"That's what a man should do. You, a daughter, can't do it."

Over time, a vicious cycle has turned into the current situation.

Therefore, Xu Shihuan no longer worries about being a woman. What she just said to Wen Yidi was actually said to herself.

If you only know how to complain and tolerate without taking action, nothing will change at all. There are only two words in life: money and power. If she can hold money and power in her own hands, and help more women have more wealth and power, then one day women will shine in all walks of life just like men.

Everyone is selfish, and Xu Shihuan is no exception. When making such beautiful thoughts, she also imagined the day when the situations of women and men were reversed. She also wants to see a man stay at home, honor his parents, take care of his children, and worry about whether there will be someone new around his wife.

But how is that different from today's men?

"Wen Yidi, I hope that one day, no matter men or women, no matter high-ranking officials or ordinary people, no matter what industry they are engaged in, everyone will have the same opportunity to do what they want to do."

"If you are good at reading, then you can take the imperial examination. Even if you don't win the gold medal, you can still be a teacher or accountant. If you are good at martial arts, then enlist in the army to protect your family and country and keep your country safe. If you have a talent for business, , don’t have any worries, just go ahead and do it.”

This is the first time Xu Shihuan has spoken her true thoughts in front of others. She is afraid that if others hear her words, they will say that she is daydreaming or wishful thinking...

But Wen Yidi looked at her with extremely serious eyes, and he said in an almost pious tone:

"What you wish for is also what I want in my heart."
