The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Jia Tanchun left with the team of Loulan people, although not in the identity of the princess she had dreamed of.

She became a member of the team sent by the Kingdom of Heaven to the Western Regions to study and exchange foreign cultures, and she was also one of the few "ambitious elements" who wanted to be an official as a woman.

Leaving the capital with her was Xue Baochai, the ambitious maid of honor who firmly believed in "a good wind will send me to Qingyun by force" since she was a child.

Jia Lan dragged Li Wan, who was weeping silently, into the team. They left Mrs. Jia with a good reputation because of their travels for the country. Although she was young, Jia Lan, who saw the warmth and coldness of human beings and the injustice in the world early, chose to leave her hometown.

Perhaps His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of venting his anger on him, and he might not even be aware of the existence of such a person as him, but those wealthy nobles and civil and military officials who love to figure out what they want will definitely not give him the slightest chance to stand out.Instead of wasting your life doing nothing at the feet of the emperor, it is better to find another life in the vast desert.

Jia Lan took one last look at the slowly closing city gate, pursed her lips, and firmly supported Li Wan: "Mother, trust me, I will live out my splendor."

Li Wan wept, closed his eyes, and nodded.

This is the only way to go. She obeys her father at home and her husband when she gets married. Now, when her husband dies, she can only obey her son.

I only hope that God can cast a gleam of light on her gloomy life, and I only hope that Jia Lan's life can be better than her walking dead.

Other than that, she had nothing else to ask for.

Yingchun and Daiyu wore regular clothes and covered their veils. Accompanied by Yunhai and Li Keming, they climbed up the gate tower and bid farewell to the two sisters who might never see each other again in this life.

Xue Baoqin supported Aunt Xue, who was crying and softened, and watched Baochai's green canopy sedan from a distance in his restaurant as it disappeared into the sky.

Xue Pan and Xue Biao stood side by side in the back, blushing, ashamed and heartbroken.If they were not weak and incompetent as men and could not support the family, why would Sister Baochai leave her hometown alone to fight for her future?Her long trip won the Xue family another five-year-long imperial merchant's signboard, allowed Aunt Xue to wear the clothes she thought she could never have in her life, and paved the way for Bao Qin to marry into the Wei family. up the road.

As the second prince, Jia Lian led a team to send people out of the city, and delivered a speech outside the city—all written for him by the Imperial Academy—encouraging the students on this trip not to forget their original aspirations, to study foreign cultures hard, and to spread the civilization of the Central Plains , In the future, after finishing his studies, he will return to the country and serve the imperial court.He paid extra attention to Tanchun and Baochai for a while, and then his face quietly burned red.

He remembered what the emperor brother said to him before he left: "The men in your Jia family are almost all embroidered pillows, and those who are barely capable are tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Even the Qi family can't do it. The wives and concubines are fattening and fattening. But the Jia family and even the women who are related to the Jia family are all extraordinary in their hearts, visions, backbones, and ambitions... If these girls can cast themselves as men, they may be able to create another century-old family. It's a pity , today's world is harsh and biased towards women, and the restraint is cruel, so that I can barely pick out some people like you to make do with. This time you will see me off for me. If there is any mistake, just don't come back Alright, let’s go to the Western Regions together.”

Jia Lian agreed to leave with sweat profusely.

Sister Feng also went to the street to watch the excitement with her daughter in her arms. She was not dissatisfied with Tanchun and Baochai's decision. The emotion of contempt and half envy can't be said to anyone.She was brought up as a man since she was a child, and she often claimed to be a hero in the makeup pile, but in the end, she was just a arrogant Yelang who was a frog at the bottom of the well.

The real heroine, the real heroism, today, she can really see it.

Sister Qiao hurt a little from being hugged by her mother, she couldn't help calling softly: "Mother, you're strangling me."

Sister Feng came back to her senses, and hurriedly let go of Sister Qiao's arms, "Are you hurt? Show me?"

Sister Qiao rubbed her arms and smiled obediently: "It's Qiaoer who is being coquettish, mother is still holding me, don't hurt me."

Seeing her daughter being so sensible, considerate and naive, Sister Feng felt a little relieved and also a little sad when she patted her head.In her life, she might only have this one daughter, how could she not feel pain?In the early years, I wanted to be strong, fighting for power and earning money. I was not in a hurry to have a child, and I didn’t take care of it when I gave birth. Now everything is in vain. Only then did I realize that my daughter is good. What's the fun in her life if she really feels cold about this only reliance?

Recalling that when she entered the palace some time ago, she accidentally heard the emperor's sister-in-law mention that the emperor's brother intends to elevate the status of noble women and let them have some special rights for men. Brother even intentionally let the little princess learn the same courses as the eldest prince, and participate in government affairs when she becomes an adult, so maybe her Qiaoer can also be a queen.If one's own flesh and blood can inherit the wealth of the Taiping Prince's Mansion, it is of course much better than adopting a so-called sibling who doesn't know if it is a white-eyed wolf.

Being vigorous and resolute has always been Sister Feng's greatest strength. Before Jia Lian returned to the palace from outside the city to return to his life, she had already handed over the sign and sat in Fengyi Palace.

Yinghua was helping her daughter to practice walking in the palace, and the eldest prince was carried out by the little eunuch to see plum blossoms.Although Yinghua didn't want her young children to run out in such a cold weather, the eldest prince's petite temper was worthy of being a dragon, and if he got stubborn, he really wouldn't buy anyone's face. Yinghua had no choice but to take him seriously. It was tightly wrapped into a ball before being hugged out.

Sister Feng took Sister Qiao to greet her, and Yinghua waved her hand to ask Sister Qiao to come closer, holding the little princess in her arms to show her: "Sister Qiao, come and see your sister."

Sister Feng apologized and said with a smile: "How can she be a sister at such a cheap price? There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. The little princess is her master."

Yinghua doesn't like Sister Feng very much, but she doesn't feel bad either. The main reason is that she doesn't get used to her pretense of being sleek and slick, and she always feels uncomfortable when she looks fake. The son said: "If you think so, in the future, when she goes to school, you don't need sister Qiao to accompany her to study."

Sister Feng's eyes widened: "I've decided to go to school? Do you really want to go to the imperial study too?" If Brother Huang really wants to teach the little princess to be a queen, then Sister Qiao must accompany her to study.

Yinghua lazily said: "Is it right? I don't know, but it is true that His Majesty treats the two children equally. I have been thinking about how to improve the status of the younger sisters after marriage, develop their abilities, and give them some power. It is true that they will not be bound by the backyard for a lifetime." Her majesty often has amazing ideas, and the frightening thing is that they can often be realized. For example, this time, the marriage agreement that has been agreed for thousands of years is abruptly reversed. When it became a cultural exchange, the Loulan people didn't get any benefit. Instead, they had to spend money and energy to support the Central Plains students, and they had to impart their own unique civilization. Lord Loulan got on his horse with tears in his eyes.

Sister Feng's eyes glowed with gold: "Sister Qiao is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes to accompany the little princess. When the time comes, the emperor's wife will send you to the palace immediately with a word." Sister Qiao is pulling the little princess by her side Carefully turning around, when Mother called her name, she raised her head and smiled sweetly in this direction.

Yinghua and Sister Feng didn't get along, but she liked Sister Qiao quite a lot, so she couldn't be angry with her mother in front of Sister Qiao, so she changed the subject and chatted casually for a while, then heard the report from the maid, saying that the eldest princess and the princess I went back to the palace, my eyes were red and swollen from crying, the generals were so distressed, but because His Majesty didn't say anything and couldn't enter the harem, they found someone to beg the empress to persuade her, and Sister Feng hurriedly helped Yinghua to go to Yuqing Palace, After coaxing her until dinner, she finally stopped her tears before Ning Shan came back.

Ning Shan wasn't in a good mood. Ever since Tanchun came out of his identity and petitioned for a marriage, he had been arguing with the courtiers about women's status and rights. Relying on a woman's nepotism to maintain the dignity of a general on the frontier, but as an emperor, he still has a long way to go if he wants to completely develop a country into what he wants.

I hate those old antiques in Chaoshang, no matter how many examples he finds out of the high-spirited noblewomen before the Sui Dynasty to leave a strong mark in the history books, they just insist that women are only virtuous if they have no talents, and their job is to be able to bear children and be able to care for their husbands and teach their children , Others, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting or poetry, are all incidental, with a more elegant charm, it will not affect your life.

Ning Shan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and remembered the favorite old masters who blocked him, and decided to find fault with them when she had the opportunity in the future. At the same time, she also encouraged her son in her heart——Your father If you can’t achieve your goal in this life, you can join——Thinking about it this way, he really hopes that the exchange and study group will finish their studies and return to China as soon as possible. There are quite a few women with great ambitions in it. Live up to expectations and set off a revolution.

Jia Lian came into the palace to report the matter of seeing him off. Ning Shan listened indifferently, got up and walked out of Qianqing Palace, walked up the palace wall, and looked at the line of heaven and earth in the distance: "Today's farewell is for the reunion tomorrow. This world is unified, the four seas are united, and all nations come to court.”
