In the capital, outside a certain house.

The Su family looked at the glorious and majestic house and were so stunned that they didn't dare to take a breath.

Zhou Chuqi got off the carriage, walked up to Su Youmin and said, "This house is lonely and has been tidied up in advance. You can live here with peace of mind. In a few days, the emperor will announce your admission to the palace."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The Su family expressed their thanks in unison.

A few days ago, Zhou Chuqi told his truth. In order to hide that they had known about it, the Su family pretended to be surprised and shocked for a long time.

However, precisely because they did this, they dispelled Zhou Chuqi's suspicion that the Su family could hear Su Zhaozhao's inner voice.

Zhou Chuqi looked at Zheng Wenchang and said slowly: "Zheng Qing, I'll leave this to you. I'll go back to the palace to see my father first."

Zheng Wenchang cupped his hands and said, "I obey, and I will respectfully see off His Highness the Crown Prince."

After sending Zhou Chuqi away, Zheng Wenchang called someone to move the Su family's luggage in, and called in new guards to guard the surroundings of the house.

After doing all this, Zheng Wenchang also returned to the palace to resume his duties.

In an instant, only the Su family and some servants and maids were left in the huge house.

"Master and madam, do you want to rest first or eat first?" said the leading maid.

Whether it was Su Youmin or Mrs. Su, this was the first time they heard this title, and they didn't even know what to say.

After a long while, Su Youmin finally managed to say: "No need."

The maid looked confused and wanted to ask again. Su Dajiang stepped forward and said, "You are not needed here. You can go down first."

"Yes." The maid stood up and left with several other servants.

Seeing that they were out of sight, everyone let out a long breath.

They were all native farmers, and they always felt like something was wrong when they were treated like this.

After coming to the hall to rest for a while, Song Yun and Mrs. Zhang found a maid and asked her to lead them to the kitchen.

"Are you two young ladies hungry? I will ask someone to pass on the food." The maid said.

Hearing this title, Song Yun felt that his head was as big as an ox, and quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, we can just cook by ourselves."

Hearing this, the maid turned pale with fright, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Did I do something wrong, my slave? Please forgive me, young lady."

Song Yun looked confused and didn't understand why this maid suddenly knelt down.

"Get up quickly."

Song Yun stretched out his hand to help the maid up, but she became even more frightened and kept kowtowing.

"Please forgive me, young lady..."

Everyone in the hall heard the noise and came out to check in confusion.

"Boss, what happened?" Mrs. Su asked.

Song Yun turned around and explained the matter in a few words.

Everyone suddenly realized, and before they could speak, the maid was so frightened that she almost cried.

"Dear nobles, I will serve you well. Please spare me."

Before coming here, Eunuch Li, the prince's personal eunuch, told them that if they did not serve these nobles well, they would be killed.

She was only sixteen and didn't want to die yet.

Thinking of this, the maid kowtowed even more fiercely.

Seeing that she was about to break her head, Mrs. Su stepped forward, helped her up and said, "Don't misunderstand us. We are all farmers. We are used to working on our own. I don't dislike you for not doing well."

The maid was originally from a farm family. After hearing this, she immediately believed it. She took a cautious look at the Su family and saw that their faces were as usual, and she was completely relieved in her heart.

"Old madam, are you going to ask someone to pass on the food now?" the maid asked cautiously.

"Go." Mrs. Su nodded.

Hearing this, the maid was completely relieved, turned around and left quickly.

Mrs. Su smacked her lips and said with emotion: "This capital city is not as good as our village. It's not easy to be a maid for such a big family. I have to kneel down and beg for mercy at every turn."

Everyone nodded in agreement. There were many families in the county who had maids, but this was the first time they had seen such cautious and fearful people who were afraid of losing their heads.

Maid: Hey, once is familiar, twice is familiar, you will see more in the future!

[Hey, maids in ancient times had no human rights]

[When I see the emperor in the future, will I kneel down at all times?]

Su Zhaozhao felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that in the twenty years she had lived, she had never knelt down to anyone except for sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival.

This time when she was reborn in ancient times, she knelt down several times.

Although she had done some psychological training every time, the education she had received since childhood was engraved in her bones, making it impossible for her to kneel down to the powerful with peace of mind, but her life would be at risk if she didn't.

Between dignity and life, Su Zhaozhao chose life.

[I’m so annoyed, it’s another day when I want to overthrow the feudal dynasty! How long will it take for a society where everyone is equal to arrive?]

Su Zhaozhao cried in her heart. According to her background analysis of the novel, it would take at least three hundred years to develop into the era in which she lived.

By that time, she would have turned into a handful of dirt.

The Su family, who were still sympathizing with the maid, said: "You are still sympathizing with me!" Just take more care of yourself!

In the past, they often said that the people did not fight with the officials because they knew that even if they fought, they would not win.

But now I know that it is just a matter of words for the powerful to want your life. The reaction of the maid just now is the best evidence.

Whenever someone in the Su family frowns, he is afraid that tomorrow will be the day when that maid will die.

Even if the Su family didn't ask for her death, the prince and the emperor in the palace would let her die.

To these real dignitaries, the life of this maid is worse than that of a cat or a dog.

If the maid is like this to them, why not the Su family to them?

It's just that they still have value, so they temporarily treat them as their own. Once they lose their value, what's the difference between their family and this maid?

Even if they really become a member of the high-ranking officials, the high-ranking officials are divided into three levels, and their lives will always depend on the thoughts of others.

At this moment, everyone suddenly had the thought that it would be great if the future that Su Zhaozhao lived in came earlier.

That is a society where everyone is equal!

Moreover, after a eunuch went to the Su family for the first time to declare a decree, the family also learned something.

That is: the people will be the masters of the country in the future, and there is no such thing as an emperor!

Whether everyone is equal or the people are the masters of the country, it is too tempting for the Su family.

Su Meihua thought more. She heard Su Zhaozhao say that the development of the textile industry would lead to the arrival of the industrial age.

She doesn’t understand what the industrial age is, but she knows that the industrial age is the first step towards equality for everyone.

They probably won't be able to go back to Taoyuan Village, so they have to find a way to open a textile factory in the capital.

For a time, everyone in the Su family set a goal for themselves in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the Su family has been in the capital for three days.

During these three days, the Su family was worried that their work would frighten the maids, so they let them wait on them.

At first, the family was not used to it and felt awkward. After two days, they actually began to enjoy the maid's service.

After realizing this, the family broke out in a cold sweat.

No wonder they say that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury. If this continues, what is the difference between them and those high-ranking officials?

From then on, except for cooking, the Su family did their own thing and never relied on others.

The maids were scared at first, but later on they simply let them go.

Two days later, someone from the palace announced a decree for the Su family to enter the palace to meet the saint.
