But Mrs. Han is a person who has seen big scenes, and she thought that there was no need to get angry with this little yellow-haired girl in front of her for such a small matter of sesame and mung beans, and spread the name of my prefect's wife.

So, put away the anger after being contradicted just now, and said kindly: "Oh, Miss He has objections, you can sit down and talk to all the sisters calmly and slowly, don't get emotional, such reckless behavior, but what is it with you?" The identity of the eldest lady of the mansion does not match!"

"Mrs. Han, don't blame me for speaking rudely here, I will apologize to you first..."

As she spoke, she bowed slightly as an apology.

Then he said: "It's just that there are some things that have to be said and some reasons that have to be debated. In my heart, He Qingqing, I firmly believe that all living beings are equal, and the status of a person is never measured by status."

These words only surprised everyone present.

"All beings have all kinds of appearances, a woman, a real woman, how can we judge her status by whether she will be a female celebrity or not, and whether she has read the Four Books?"

She casually picked up an embroidery needle and rags from the case table, shaking them in her hands.

"Could it be possible that if a female celebrity is well-done, it means that she has a prominent family background? If she can't embroider flowers, it means that this person is from a humble background? But what if you have never read the Fourth Female Book? If you have read it, it means that this person has a dignified character? If you haven't read it Passing on behalf of debauchery?"

"Humph……"

She snorted coldly, threw the needle and thread in her hand back into the dustpan dismissively, and said bluntly: "This kind of thinking is too narrow and absurd."

When it comes to excitement, He Qingqing's words are sharp and she doesn't show any mercy.

Mrs. Han didn't have a seizure because she gritted her teeth. She tried to interrupt her several times, but failed.

The girls and young ladies present also listened quietly to her defense, and some even fell silent and fell into deep thought.

"Besides, it's better to have no books than to believe in books. I don't think the set of things that ladies and ladies abide by is not necessarily correct. Just take the passage in "The Commandments of Women" that Mrs. Han just explained, what kind of man regards strength as the most important thing? Gui, women regard weakness as beauty, so I think it's biased."

"Since all living beings are equal, why do women have to live under the protection of men, why do women have to engrave humbleness and respect into their bones, and can only accept it?

When you were reading, did you ever think about whether what is said in the book is completely correct? "

"Ask yourselves, have you never doubted whether it is reasonable?"

She patted her heart and threw a heavy question to everyone present.

"Is it right in the book? Or is it wrong?" The little girl Shen Wenqiao secretly asked Wu Xiangyi, the prefect's daughter, who was sitting beside her with a puzzled expression.

Wu Xiangyi, who was slightly older, secretly pushed her.

Indicate to sit down quickly, don't ask.

Seeing that all the girls present were silenced by the questioning, no one dared to answer her question for a long time.

Looking at Mrs. Han sitting in the hall, a piece of noodles turned red and white from anger.

Looking around at every girl present at Shuyuanhui, no one dared to speak, so she suddenly smiled.

"Some things no one dares to say, someone has to say..."

Then, he continued without hesitation: "What is a real lady? What is a model of a famous family? Can it really be defined by reading a few female books and embroidering a few flowers?"

"In ancient times, there was Hua Mulan who served in the army on behalf of her father and faced national crisis. She did not choose to be humble and obedient, hiding under the protection of her father and brother. Everything she does seems to have nothing to do with humbleness and obedience, and there are even some deviant, but she puts life and death aside, for the country and the people, isn't this kind of fearless demeanor worthy of being honored as a famous lady? Not worthy of being called Are you a role model for me?"

"This……"

"..." The impassioned words caused the girls present to shake their moods and become agitated.

"And this Liu Yanhan next to me, Miss Liu..." She pointed at the person beside her as she spoke.

Liu Yanhan was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't stop him. I don't know what shocking remarks this Miss He is about to make.

"Miss Liu is a female disciple of Xinyi Valley. She studied medicine at a young age, traveled alone in the rivers and lakes, traveled around for free clinics, and treated countless patients. I have always admired her deeds. I ask myself this kind of bearing and ability. What a frog in a well like me, who is bored in the mansion all day long, can't reach..."

These words only made Liu Yanhan startled, staring at her blankly beside her, not knowing what expression to make.

With that said, He Qingqing picked up the sachet in the shape of dried peony flowers just now, lit it up in front of everyone's eyes, and explained to everyone honestly.

"Here...you see, this is the sachet that Mrs. Han praised so much just now, but it was not made by me, He Qingqing..."

As she said that, she raised her eyebrows as if she had succeeded in a prank.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"What? Didn't she do it?"

"Who? That's strange."

He Qingqing pointed to Liu Yanhan and told the truth to everyone: "Actually, this sachet was sewn by Miss Liu. I'm just a person who pretends to be credited and gets something for nothing."

She faced Mrs. Han whose face was already darkened in the hall, weighed the sachet in her hand intentionally, and asked with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Han, from this point of view, it is judged by the skill of a female celebrity." Isn't it ridiculous how high or low a person is?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a loud "bang..." sound.

Mrs. Han, who was sitting upright in the hall, couldn't hold back the anger in her heart any longer, she slapped the table with her palm, scaring everyone present.

"Shut up!" she growled.

He also didn't care about the image of a noble lady, pointing at He Qingqing's nose and yelling sharply: "In Shuyuanhui, how can you allow a little girl you just came to speak nonsense, I am the elder, you are the youngest, don't look at how I usually treat you If you are kind, you will be confident and bold, and even dare to tease me in front of me!"

Mrs. Han is the magistrate's wife, with a prominent status, when and where she has suffered such grievances, she has the majesty of an elder, but now she is really angry, and all the girls present are silent.

"Mrs. Han, I apologized to you from the beginning..."

He Qingqing seemed to have no fear, she faced Mrs. Han's anger, bowed her hands, and apologized again.

"However, as I said earlier, there are some things that have to be said and some reasons that have to be debated. If you offend Mrs. Han today, my daughter will apologize to you again. If you are still unhappy, you can beat or scold me as you please. "

"you……"

A few words left Mrs. Han speechless, and she was neither angry nor angry.

Lu Chashan, who is used to observing words and expressions, saw her and stood up timidly. He Qingqing pleaded: "Madam, Sister Qing'er is still young, and it is the first time for me to come to Shuyuanhui. There are many unclear rules and many discomforts. , she only wants to communicate and learn with all the sisters, who ever thought of being too radical and accidentally contradicted you, Madam, you should ignore the faults of villains, and don't bother with her."

"Hmph..." Mrs. Han flicked her sleeves, snorted coldly with a displeased face.

"Shan'er, among all the sisters in Shuyuanhui, I usually value you the most. I think you are safe and cautious. Today is fine. Look at the two new sisters you brought. They are really arrogant. I dare to question you." The admonitions of the Four Books for Women, I think the whole Nanyang City will not be able to hold them in this way!"

As he spoke, he raised the handkerchief in his hand and gave her a contemptuous look.

Unexpectedly, she just said a few nice words for someone and got angry. Lu Chashan's eyes suddenly turned red with grievance. In order to save face, she had no choice but to hold back the tears in her eyes.

"Mrs. Han, since you feel that my daughter is disrespectful to the Four Books, her words and deeds are incompatible with everyone present, and she is not worthy of staying in this Shuyuanhui, then I will leave, but please don't blame others..." He Qingqing said respectfully He bowed to her.

He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, take my leave."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Han to speak, she stood up and left without looking back.

Seeing Liu Yanhan at the side, he hurriedly stood up and bid farewell to everyone hastily: "Farewell."

Get up and go with her.

"Oh... this... this..."

Looking at the backs of the two who were drifting away, the girls present were all agitated.

"It's gone!"

She had never been treated like this before. Mrs. Han sitting in the hall was furious, but because of her face, she could only do her best to hold back her anger.

After all, these two people were brought by Lu Chashan, and once they left, it was a difficult situation for her.

She carefully glanced at Mrs. Han's face in the hall, and looked at the opportunity to ask her submissively: "Ma'am, it is indeed Shan'er who has acted improperly today, and brought outsiders to Shuyuan casually to spoil the elegance of all the ladies and ladies." Shan'er hereby apologizes to everyone."

As she spoke, she made a pitiful gesture, bowed her head and apologized to Mrs. Han and the sisters.

"Oh...forget it, it's not your fault, sister Shan'er..." Wu Xiangyi, the prefect's daughter, held her hand with pity, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Besides, no one will do anything if things happen like this. Think of it!

Who knew that the eldest lady of He Yuan's family was such a perverse and domineering person, you just have good intentions. "

"That's right! Sister Shan'er, it's not your fault. It's that Miss He's who is too rude. She is not worthy to be our sister in Shuyuanhui. At worst, we don't welcome her in the future."

Shen Wenqiao, the third miss of the Shen family, was speaking quickly with a ignorant smile on her face.

"Yes! Don't be sad."

All the girls expressed their consolation one after another.

In this way, Mrs. Han's face looks a little better.

After a long while, she finally said: "Forget it, Shan'er, today's matter is not entirely up to you, it's that Miss He's lack of manners..."

"From now on! You must be cautious when making friends. You don't want to make friends with all kinds of girls. The threshold of Shuyuanhui is high! You can't get in if you have money. The girls here want both ability and political integrity. .”

She stretched her legs and said lazily: "Forget it, I'm tired after gathering for so long today, girls, let's do some activities on our own! We are a bit older, we should take a rest."

After finishing speaking, Huang Ma immediately stepped forward to support her, and a group of mothers and servant girls surrounded the noble lady and left the table.

Seeing Mrs. Han returned to the back hall, Lu Chashan quickly put away her cautious look, stood up, and ran out of the courtyard.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Wu Xiangyi shouted behind her.

"Leave me alone, let's play! I still have something to do."

As Lu Chashan answered, she ran out without looking back.

After chasing to the gate of Shuyuan Yahui's house, He Qingqing and Liu Yanhan who just came out of the gate were about to board the He family's carriage and leave.

"Second sisters, wait a moment." She raised her arms and called out loudly.
