524: Advice and Red Sleeves [Seeking Monthly Pass]
Xu Jie looked at Ning Yan blankly.
Ning Yan looked at Xu Jie firmly.
The two were silent for a long time, until Xu Jie opened his mouth to break the silence. His voice was solemn, filled with surprise and shock, unbelievable: "Senior Sister Ning, did you just say that you wanted to serve me?" He didn't expect Ning Yan to leave even after thinking about it.
This move.
Compared with Xu Jie's gaffe, Ning Yan's reaction was much calmer. She said quietly: "Wen Zhu heard you right, I do have this plan. I know this is an embarrassing request, but I have been under your care for a long time."
But it’s not what I want.”
Xu Jie hurriedly said: "Senior Sister Ning, you..."
Ning Yan knew what he wanted to say.
"I know the literary notes are honest, but 'love' is the last thing in the world that can withstand being wasted." Ning Yan had a good night's rest, and her energy was much better than yesterday. However, she had lost too much weight these days, and her cheeks were a little thin.
There were some sunken spots, and even though she was so haggard, she could not hide the firmness in her eyes, "It's not that she doesn't trust Wen Zhu, it's just that she trusts him too much, so she hopes to gain a foothold based on her skills."
She couldn't let her daughter feel like she was dependent on anyone else.
Xingning is not around, so she has to carry their hopes.
Ning Yan said: "Although I am an ordinary woman with neither literary heart nor courage, I can do the job of clerical planning!"
Xu Jie moved his lips.
He wanted to persuade Ning Yan to change her mind but didn't know where to start. He knew very well that Senior Sister Ning's temperament seemed to be as gentle as water, but in fact she was stubborn and stubborn. Once she made a decision, she would not change her original intention easily... He was not questioning it.
Ning Yan’s strength.
Ning Yan is strong in every aspect, and this is something the banquet master has stamped her seal on.
The only regret is that I had to give birth to a daughter.
If he is a man, he is no inferior to anyone.
For a long time, he sighed and told Ning Yan frankly.
"Senior Sister Ning, it's too late for me to rejoice because of your ability to serve me. But has Senior Sister ever thought about the rumors that may be going on outside? It's okay with me, but I can't bear to see Senior Sister being criticized." This is what Xu Jie is most worried about.
a little.
Ning Yan knew it well.
But he still asked: "Fengyanfengyu?"
Xu Jie took a deep breath: "There are no precedents for women becoming officials before, but without exception, they are all..."
What he said after that made things a bit difficult for him.
How can he tell it in front of Ning Yan?
To say it would offend her ears.
Ning Yan asked again: "What are they without exception?"
"...Senior sister, what should I say?"
Xu Jie didn't say anything, so Ning Yan finished for him: "I know very well the fate of those female staff. During the day, they worry about the Lord's plans, and at night, they add fragrance to their red sleeves. Is this what you want to say? The world is despised and discriminated against.
,I know."
Xu Jie pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
In fact, Ning Yan said this very implicitly, and this is what she meant. Among the male staff, there were some with stunning looks who separated from their master, and the world talked about it as a good story or talked about it after drinking. No matter how popular it was.
How outrageous. In the end, it just adds a romantic coat to the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Overall, it is harmless. The situation is different for female subordinates. They are naturally prejudiced and even slandered by the world.
A beautiful woman who is extremely intelligent and skillful. The first thing people notice is not her intelligence and ability, but her face. As long as she has such a face, it seems that any achievement can be covered with an unspeakable deal.
This is the prejudice of the world.
Even more fatal is the prejudice from those in power.
For male subordinates who are uncontrollable, the superiors will often adopt policies of checks and balances. However, for female subordinates who are too smart to be controlled, the first reaction of the superiors is to make them their own women. As long as such a mark is put on them, they can be given
The other party wears heavy shackles that cannot be broken free of. When it completely loses control, just throw it into the backyard and lock it up.
Real power can be easily regained.
What goes up works, and the methods adopted by the superiors also make the world more stubborn and rigid - women who become officials will inevitably end up becoming a delicate flower picked at will in the backyard of the superiors.
When a woman becomes an official, the process is directly compared to that of her predecessors.
No exception!
This was the main reason why Xu Jie was so shocked, worried and panicked when Ning Yan said she wanted to become an official. Of course he knew that he would not have such beastly thoughts, and he also knew that Ning Yan's official career was a serious one, just to survive.
But how can we stop outsiders from talking?
The world is tolerant towards men, but is mean and even vicious towards women... How can he endure the fact that his most respected senior sister is criticized and falsely accused? The more outstanding she becomes in the future, the more ferocious rumors she will face.
"Senior Sister Ning..."
Xu Jie's tone was a bit pleading.
Ning Yan said: "I don't care about rumors."
Xu Jie looked at her and said, "I care!"
Ning Yan said: "Xingning can shoulder the misunderstandings of the world and still practice his own morality. I can't be worse than him."
Xu Jie: "..."
His sincere words were weak and without any strength in front of these words. It's no wonder that Senior Sister Ning and Yan An are so compatible - apart from the difference in gender, these two people have the same temperament as two individuals carved out of the same mold...
"That's okay..."
If she refuses again, Senior Sister Ning will probably be angry.
Xu Jie didn't want to hurt the relationship between the two of them.
Just as he was about to agree, the attendant in charge of security outside the door suddenly came over with a box. Looking at the lines on the box, he knew it was a letter from his cousin who was careless. Xu Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Ning Yan also
No more pressure.
When I opened the box, it was almost full of family books.
Xu Jie picked up one of the letters according to the time and muttered: "Wenshi, this kid, is really making more and more nonsense..."
Each letter home becomes thicker and thicker.
Although the Xu family is rich and has no shortage of money, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, it cannot be so random... It is not easy for him, the head of the family, to make money and hold multiple jobs. Xu Jie complained in his heart, every line he glanced at was filled with words.
.
Xu Jie: "..."
I read one letter after another.
Really understand what nonsense is.
They are all kinds of Shiwu knowledge, and all kinds of nonsense, such as leading two thousand soldiers and horses to follow the lord's footsteps and killing the Shiwu tribe, such as sneaking into the Shiwu King's capital with hundreds of troops, and picking up the enemy.
Shao Shi Wu Xun Gui’s head.
It’s a pity that I didn’t learn the trick of dyeing my hair.
He also told him to let the tribesmen who are outsiders pay attention to the secret skills in this area, and he wanted to dye himself green.
The Lord said that green is more eye-catching. If you stand in front of the crowd, it will definitely catch the eye. It will be the focus of the audience. It is the most dazzling and brightest cub!
He also wanted to imitate Monk Sha and use Shiwu Xungui's head to string a string of human head necklaces that are unparalleled in the world and give them to his beloved cousin as a birthday gift for this year...
Xu Jie: "..."
He felt sick just thinking about it.
What kind of aesthetic is this?
Shen Jun doesn't dislike him, it's probably because his ancestors smoked and covered Shen Jun's eyes. Thinking of Shen Jun, Xu Jie sighed in his heart. Shen Tang handed the best He Yin into his hands, if he indulged all the people in the world
The family intervened in Heyin and monopolized the farmland, water conservancy and mining business... The people whom Shen Jun cherished and cherished would once again live a miserable life without enough to eat, and could not agree to anything.
I saw the last letter from home——
Xu Jie thought it was nonsense, but he was shocked after reading two lines - Shen, Shen Jun is actually a daughter???
Daughter body...
daughter……
female……
Ning Yan was just lowering her eyes and thinking when she heard Xu Jie slap the table, almost jumped up on the spot and blurted out.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
He would rather believe that his cousin is a cousin!
