Chapter 211 What about that big cousin?

Yu Sanlang nodded thoughtfully, and he knew that his daughter’s rescue was not in vain.

But what he couldn't have expected was the unexpected surprise.

"That's right. I suspect that the hidden dart is the stone that is [yellow as jade, with crystals]. " It was also the meteorite discovered by Cao Yun, the ancestor of the Cao family.

Yu Hongdou shared with her father the first-hand information she heard from Wu Xingyun.

"This trip to the provincial capital is really not in vain..." Yu Sanlang was speechless for a long time, and then he sighed.

Somehow, the appearance of the Xu family seemed to be to help them get the clue that the Cao family had been pursuing.

"I'll ask someone to go to the Xu family to inquire." Although he sighed, the opportunity could not be missed. Regardless of whether it was possible or not, Yu Sanlang planned to arrange two spies to go to the Xu family first.

"What about Jining?" Yu Hongdou remembered the clues her mother provided when they talked about the past yesterday.

"I'll let the Cao family go over there." Yu Sanlang did not hide it from his daughter.

Yu Hongdou clapped her hands and gave a thumbs up to her father. Her father is truly a natural leader who knows how to use people.

"Oh, right...your mother and I just met your fourth aunt. She said she would bring her children to visit tomorrow and she also had some gifts for us to take back home."

Yu Sanlang thought of his fourth brother's wife whom he had just met on the street, and felt full of bad luck.

"Just bring her along. I want to see what that pear-like little face looks like, too." Yu Hongdou said with such vexation in her teeth.

There are only a few sentences describing Yu Hongdou in the book, and most of them are mentioned in passing when describing the heroine's daughter.

For example, "Yu Heng looked at his daughter's pear-shaped face, his heart full of love, thinking that if anyone hurt his daughter, he would definitely fight with that person to the death."

This leads to the protagonist's guilt and empathy towards the third wife, how he avoided the third wife again, how he was schemed against by the third wife again, and how he did not look back even though he knew something was wrong.

Another sentence is "Xu looked at the child's pear-sized face, and another young figure appeared in her mind..."

Anyway, Yu Hongdou has always been curious about the "small face as big as a pear". How big is the face and what kind of face shape is it?

"Dad, guess what else Miss Wu told me?" After finishing the business, Yu Hongdou thought of another unexpected gain.

"?" Yu Sanlang answered his daughter with expression.

"The sixth young lady of the Han family is called Han Yueru." Yu Hongdou winked at her father.

Yu Sanlang smiled, tapped his daughter's forehead and said nothing.

The father and daughter walked out of the study in cahoots, just in time for the servant to come and report that An Hedi and others had returned.

"How is it? Will this writing be interesting? How many people have written poems, and how many have written lyrics?" Yu Hongdou knew from the looks on those people's faces that this trip was not going to be pleasant.

"Oh~ They are just a bunch of people seeking fame and reputation!" An Hedi's face was full of sarcasm, which made Yu Hongdou look at him sideways.

"? What happened? Did they scold you?" Yu Hongdou felt strange when she saw that her cousin was not among the group of people, but she still went back to Anhe Emperor first.

"If you scold me, I'll be happier." An Hedi rolled his eyes at Yu Hongdou.

"That group of scholars seemed to be fine. They actually talked about women's chastity, saying that women should be chaste and loyal. If a woman goes out or a widow remarries, it is a sign of the end of the world." Tan Yanlin sneered.

Yu Hongdou looked at Emperor Anhe and Tan Mengao in surprise. She knew how Emperor Anhe encouraged people's livelihood after founding the country.

In particular, there are many policies regarding women going out to work, remarrying, raising children of their ex-husbands, etc.

Unexpectedly, she actually saw with her own eyes a feudal male emperor getting angry about the status of women. Yu Hongdou felt surprised and relieved.

"I have nothing to do after eating, so I dare not discuss politics. I can only talk about women." Yu Hongdou commented harshly.

"That's true, grandpa, don't be angry. People who think this way are always a minority." Tan Mengao disagreed and didn't think there was anything to be angry about.

It's just a few arrogant scholars gossiping, which can never shake the country's policy.

Seeing his expression, Yu Hongdou felt a little unhappy, so she said to him: "Only scholars can argue with gossipy women."

Child, you don't know the power of public opinion. The scholar uses one set of reasons and another set of reasons to deceive people. I don't know how many people will be fooled by him.

Otherwise, how could Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism have been implemented in a distorted way for so many years?

"Xiao Ma, you are short-sighted. Nowadays, the whole nation is not well educated. How many people respect these scholars? Who can guarantee that there won't be people who listen to the words of these scholars and treat them as treasures?"

Emperor An He shook his head and taught his grandson a lesson with a serious face.

Yu Hongdou tilted her head and watched Tan Mengao respectfully apologize to An Hedi, but she only felt his seriousness and did not see his reflection.

She didn't want to get involved, but Yu Hongdou knew that sometimes a change in the mindsets of the powerful could save countless lives.

"I was chatting with Master Mo and Master Shang before, and we talked about the court encouraging widows to remarry, and there are corresponding policies for marrying with children." Yu Hongdou pushed her teachers Mo and Shang to the front as shields.

"The fashion designer just said that this policy would benefit the country and the people and ensure the stability of people's livelihood. I was young and didn't understand much, so I asked how they were sure that this policy would ensure the stability of people's livelihood."

Yu Hongdou glanced at Emperor An He and saw that his face had calmed down and he was stroking his beard while listening to her.

"Master Shang told me that the people are the foundation of a country. Without the people, there is no country. After decades of war and natural disasters, when the Qi Dynasty was founded, nine out of ten houses were empty and the population was dwindling."

Yu Hongdou took a breath and sighed before continuing.

"From ancient times to the present, there have been countless families that value sons over daughters. For example, in some places, if a girl is born, she will be drowned, thrown under a bridge, and trampled by thousands of people. This will scare her and she will never be reborn in the family again. This is how people pray for a boy to be born."

"Women are already weak, and countless casualties have occurred as they flee from wars and are ignored. Without women, how can the population be increased? How can the country grow? How can people's livelihood be stable?"

Yu Hongdou said sorry to all women in her heart. A woman’s ability should not be limited to childbearing. However, in the current social context, the heroine’s fertility is as great as the sky.

"That's right. How do we turn a scorched earth into fertile fields and towns? We need people. We need lots and lots of people."

"And where do humans come from? They come from the womb of their mothers. If there were no women to serve as mothers, how could there be a large number of male offspring, and how could there be scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans?

Emperor An He raised his hands and clapped to show his appreciation for Yu Hongdou's words, added a few words, and then got angry.

"That's why I'm angry. The world is doing well, and instead of enjoying our good life, people are thinking about these petty thefts!" Emperor Anhe was so angry that he revealed his true identity.

He cursed so harshly that the three young masters of the Tan family and Yu Song could only lower their heads and listen to his lecture.

Yu Hongdou was a little distracted, thinking, where is her older cousin? Could he have been implicated by those stupid scholars?
