Da Ya is now a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, in her golden years, and she is becoming more and more beautiful.
She has a gentle temperament and is smart. Not only is she good at learning, she is also one of the best female celebrities.
Da Ya likes Jiang Miao the most. Before the Shen family became prosperous, only her aunt took her to play with her. She had a deep affection for Jiang Miao.
Knowing that Mrs. Xu almost harmed Jiang Miao and her two younger siblings, she held back her tears at home. She was not only angry with her mother for being confused, but also angry with her for being partial. No matter how much she and Erya did, in her heart they were just A film about a worthless girl.
Da Ya had resentment in her heart. It was clear that she could do what her husband did, or even do it better, but her mother only wanted to have a son, even to the point of going crazy.
When Mrs. Xu was sent to the nunnery, she came to Shen Mansion to apologize to Jiang Miao.
The young lady's eyes were swollen like walnuts. When she saw Jiang Miao, she knelt down to her, which shocked Jiang Miao.
"Get up quickly, the ground is cold and your knees are hurt."
Despite Da Ya's gentle and quiet appearance, she has her own arrogance in her heart. Jiang Miao knows that she is here to apologize to Mrs. Xu, but the crime is not as serious as her children. What does Mr. Xu's mistake have to do with this little girl?
Besides, Ms. Xu already knew she was wrong, so she couldn't blame the eldest girl.
There were tears in Da Ya's eyes, and she was trying not to cry. Jiang Miao looked at her and felt astringent in her heart, so she personally pulled her up.
"Okay, Auntie doesn't blame you. Stop crying. Such a beautiful little lady won't look pretty anymore when she cries."
Da Ya's face felt a little hot as she coaxed her, but she still obediently stopped her tears.
She looked at Jiang Miao sheepishly, bit her lip and asked her doubts.
"Auntie, are women really inferior to men?"
Otherwise, why would her mother be so obsessed with having a son?
After hearing her words, Jiang Miao's expression froze, her eyes filled with wantonness.
"How come? Do you think aunt is inferior to a man?"
Auntie is talented and capable, so how can she be inferior to men? She feels that there are few sons in the world who can compare with her aunt.
Daya shook her head, "Auntie is much stronger than a man."
"Then do you think Madam Xu is inferior to men? County Master Mingzhen, Shopkeeper Qin, and even your aunt, are they all inferior to men?"
Da Ya shook her head repeatedly, "No."
"So, it is a paradox that women are not as good as men. Women will even do better than men, as long as you don't belittle yourself and work hard to fight for your own rights."
This is also the reason why she runs a school for girls. The supremacy of men and the inferiority of women is an inevitable product of a patriarchal society. She cannot overthrow the imperial power, and even enjoys the rights brought by the royal family shamefully.
But Jiang Miao didn't want to accept it calmly. She wanted to use her power to change the woman's life.
As long as women receive education, learn skills, and have the means and courage to make a living, they will naturally become independent, dare to leave the boudoir, support themselves, and no longer depend on men.
Da Ya is thoughtful. She is still young. She only knows that life today is extremely rare. Without Jiang Miao, she would not have studied, let alone learned so many skills. Da Ya likes female celebrities and arithmetic, and she both I thought that I would become a bookkeeper in the future and help Shen Laoer with the business of the shop.
But Xu's always wanted to have a son, which made Daya sad.
No matter how hard she worked, no matter how knowledgeable she was, Mrs. Xu didn't care. She was a woman, so she was destined to be ignored, which made Daya very frustrated.
She had been holding these words in her heart for a long time, even Shen Laoer had not said them, but now she confided them all to Jiang Miao.
"Your mother has traditional ideas at work. She wants to have a son to carry on the family line, but who has stipulated that only sons can carry on the family line. If you take over the second wife in the future, you will be the second wife's heir."
Jiang Miao didn't tell Daya about the genes, and only promised her that she didn't want to get married and would recruit a son-in-law in the future. Anyway, with the status of the Shen family, they could afford it.
Moreover, Jiang Miao believed that a young lady who graduated from her girls' school might no longer be able to accept a marriage of three wives and four concubines.
Rather than caring for her husband and raising her children, and living a busy life in the backyard, she hopes that the women can devote themselves to work and not be kidnapped by the fights between wives and concubines.
Women should also create their own splendor.
"Auntie, I know. I will definitely study hard in the future and be better than men!"
Da Ya's eyes were firm and she had an idea in her mind.
Jiang Miao touched her head with a look of relief, "Okay, just study hard and take your aunt with her when she goes out. See more of the outside world and gain knowledge."
Once Dayan is settled and the two cubs are older, she and Shen Yanqing will apply for release to see the outside world.
"good."
Da Ya's face was full of excitement. She had longed for the outside world for a long time. If she had the chance to go out with her little aunt, she would be so happy.
The guests of the Full Moon Wine had already left one after another. Today the guests and hosts had a great time and saw how favored the Shen family was. All the major aristocratic families in the capital had a strong feeling in their hearts.
From now on in the capital, no one can offend these two people, otherwise, their lives will be in danger.
Xu Zilan drank some fruit wine, and her face was slightly drunk. Her originally cold appearance became a bit more charming, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Zhao Mingzhen on the side was also drunk, supported by a maid, and mumbling to herself.
"I haven't finished the drink yet. Today is the full moon of An Yi and Ying Ying. As a little aunt, I am very happy and I must drink a few more glasses!"
The maid almost couldn't help her and was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Jiang Miao quickly asked Wu Yue to help support her. She was very strong and picked up Zhao Mingzhen with one hand. Wu Yue had an elegant figure, with a black hair tied at the top of her hair with a piece of red silk. The red silk fluttered as she walked, making her look
Especially chic.
She carefully held the little lady in her arms, and the blushes of the two of them were intertwined, making the scene look somewhat beautiful.
The little maid glanced at Wu Yue, her face turned red, and she stammered as she sent her master into the carriage.
Wu Yue disagreed, she didn't have the sense of pity for women, except for Jiang Miao and Qiao Songyun, she was a bit soft-spoken.
After seeing off Zhao Mingzhen, she looked back at Xu Zilan, wanting to repeat the same trick and hug her into the car.
Jiang Miao glanced at Yu Hu, who was waiting not far away, and quickly stopped Wu Yue.
"Okay, Sister Lan is sent away, let's go back quickly."
She winked at Yu Hu, her cheap cousin had made no progress in pursuing his wife for more than a year, so as a cousin, she had to help him, didn't she?
Besides, based on her observations today, it's not like Sister Lan is unmoved by her hard-hearted nature. Her attitude towards her cheap cousin must have softened.
As soon as Jiang Miao and Wu Yue left, Xu Zilan and her maid Caiyun were left outside the door. There were also a few young ladies who had not left. Their eyes fell on Yu Hu next to them, with eager expressions on their faces.
"That's the Emperor's edict. You haven't left yet. Are you waiting for someone else?"
