I haven't been back for a few months and nothing seems to have changed.
Unlike Luoyang, it is changing with each passing day.
After just a few days of absence, it was as if the city had changed again.
Chang'an, on the other hand, is an ancient well without waves, and it has always been like this.
What was it like when Wang Ding left, and what is it like now when he returns to Chang'an again?
Even the people on the street seemed to have the same faces, unchanged.
Vendors hawking on the street, government officials on patrol, and children of aristocratic families going out for fun.
There are also merchants coming and going, buying and selling the same items.
Wang Ding entered the city without causing any disturbance.
The people of Chang'an City have long been accustomed to soldiers coming in and out.
In the past when Dong Zhuo was in power, whenever they saw a sergeant appearing, they would hide.
But now, there is no need at all. No one is worried that they will be oppressed by the sergeant.
On the contrary, many people would stop and watch the soldiers entering the city.
Even after traveling a thousand miles from Luoyang, I returned to Chang'an.
These tens of thousands of soldiers were still in uniform appearance and marched in unison.
Feeling the eyes of the people watching, their hearts were filled with pride and pride.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang led their soldiers into the military camp.
Wang Ding also returned home.
However, Diao Chan was not at home.
She is still in the women's college, teaching those little girls.
In the past few months, even if Wang Ding was not in Chang'an, Diao Chan had lived a very fulfilling life.
She and Cai Yan were already fully committed to the women's college.
Unexpectedly, after Wang Ding left Chang'an, the two women abducted the daughter of the Yang family from the Yang family, who was also Yang Xiu's sister.
The three women spend every day in the college, where they seem to have a second youth.
Even if the outside world had a lot of gossip about them, the three of them didn't care at all.
They only do what they like now. No matter what the outside world says, even if they hear it occasionally, they just smile slightly.
Although Wang Ding missed Diao Chan very much, at this time, he was embarrassed and went directly to the women's college.
They were all girls, and Wang Ding, a grown man, was embarrassed.
If he really goes there, even if he is a cavalry general, he doesn't know how much gossip will be spread.
They are not good to Diao Chan, Yang Rong and others.
It can even affect the girls in women's colleges.
There are not many girls in the women's college right now. There are only about fifty girls in total. Some of the best ones are Cai Yan and the others, who managed to get them with great difficulty.
Cui Jun only recruited more than thirty people before.
Now there are other elementary school students who don’t have to worry about having no children to go to school.
But women's colleges still can't compare with elementary schools.
Even if the conditions of women's colleges are exactly the same as those of men's colleges, some places are even better.
Not many people are willing to send their daughters to study in women's colleges.
What's the use of girls studying and being literate? It's better to get married early.
This is a society that values boys over girls. Let alone ordinary people's families, even in those aristocratic families, women do not have much status.
Having a husband who loves her is the happiest moment for many women.
There are fierce women, but they also have to meet men with weak characters.
Otherwise, the end of a fierce woman will only be worse than that of a restrained woman.
If you want to change the status of women, it is still too difficult to rely on a women's college.
If women want to change their status, they can only rely on the knowledge they have learned.
It is impossible for an ignorant person to fight for his own rights.
Wang Ding does not insist on achieving equality between men and women. It is too difficult to achieve this.
Whether it is an elementary school or a women's college, Wang Ding just wants big men, less illiterate, more knowledgeable and people with their own thinking.
Lest the Han people become two-legged sheep again in the future.
Now that he is here, it is impossible for him to let history repeat itself.
If young people are strong, the country will be strong.
Wang Ding has no professional knowledge.
At first, he just wanted to live well in this troubled world without being killed.
But now, he wants to change Dahan as much as possible, make Dahan more and more powerful, and want Dahan to become the strongest country on the planet.
A big man should always be at the forefront of the world.
Wang Ding was very relaxed at home. He came to the Peony Pavilion and lay down on a deck chair. Two maids stood beside him and waited.
On the table next to it, there is a pot of wine and a plate of fruit.
"Sir, the eldest son wants to see you." A maid came to Wang Ding and said.
Wang Ding was a little puzzled. Since he traveled through time, he has rarely had contact with Wang Yun, let alone his two brothers.
Wang Gai and Wang Jing also have their own things to do.
Wang Ding said: "Let him come over."
After a while, Wang Gai, led by the maid, walked to the Peony Pavilion.
Wang Gai looked at his brother lying on the chair and felt very emotional.
However, within a few years, his original younger brother had become incomprehensible to him.
As an elder brother, when he came to see Wang Ding, he actually asked his maid to inform him.
When he was a child, he didn't know how many times he spanked Wang Ding.
But now, even if Wang Gai was given ten courages, he would not dare to attack Wang Ding again.
In front of Wang Ding, his elder brother no longer had any dignity as an elder brother.
"I wonder what happened to my brother?"
Wang Ding opened his eyes, but did not get up from the recliner.
Lying on the recliner at this moment made him very relaxed.
Even in Yanzhou and Luoyang, Wang Ding is not in danger, but there are too many things to do and many things to consider.
That is to say, Wang Ding can completely relax at home.
Not only physical relaxation, but also mental relaxation.
Wang Gai said: "Third brother, I have something to do, and I would like to ask my third brother for help."
Wang Ding said: "What happened?"
Although he had little contact with Wang Gai, Wang Gai was his nominal brother after all. If it was just a trivial matter, Wang Ding would naturally not mind helping him.
Wang Gai said: "Your sister-in-law also wants to go to a women's college. Can my third brother help me to persuade her?"
"Why does my sister-in-law also want to go to a women's college?" Wang Ding asked curiously.
Wang Gai said: "It's not because of Diao Chan."
Although Wang Ding and Diao Chan were married, in Wang Gai's eyes, Diao Chan was just a concubine of Wang Ding.
Naturally, he didn't have much respect for Diao Chan.
In Wang Gai's view, Wang Ding will definitely have other women in the future, at least children from other famous families.
No matter what, it should be a wealthy family like the Yang family and the Yuan family.
What status can Diao Chan have if she has a concubine?
Wang Ding and Diao Chan grew up together, and their relationship has been very good since childhood.
But Wang Gai, who is much older than Wang Ding, naturally has no feelings for Diao Chan. He has always regarded Diao Chan as a maid in the family.
It has been more than ten years, but Diao Chan will not change just because Diao Chan and Wang Ding are married.
It's nothing more than changing from a maid to a concubine.
But a concubine, in a family like theirs, is just a slightly more advanced maid.
Unless Diao Chan gives birth to a son for Wang Ding, her identity will change.
But the son is just a bastard.
Just like Yuan Shao, even if his mother gave birth to Yuan Shao, she still had no status in the Yuan family.
Diao Chan's current status is not even as good as Yuan Shao's mother's status in the Yuan family in the past.
That is to say, Wang Ding likes Diao Chan and values Diao Chan.
Otherwise, Diao Chan's status in the Wang family would be even lower.
Even some old ladies dared to ignore Diao Chan.
When Diao Chan didn't teach at a women's college, she stayed in her room every day, and at most she just sat in the Peony Pavilion.
If nothing happened, she would not leave this small courtyard, let alone the front door of the Wang family.
Wang Ding was also a little surprised. When he was at home, he never saw Diao Chan talking to this sister-in-law.
He really didn't know what Diao Chan said to this sister-in-law after he left Chang'an this time.
Wang Dingdao: "Brother, my sister-in-law wants to teach in the academy. This is a good thing. Why should I stop her?"
Wang Gai said: "She is a prostitute, how can she show her face everywhere?"
Wang Dingdao: "Men can go out, why can't women? Is my sister-in-law literate?"
Wang Gai nodded: "But how can women compare with men?"
Wang Ding said: "Why not? Men can read and write, and so can women. Men can be wives, and so can women."
Wang Gai said: "It's different, this is different."
He could not accept that his wife should show her face outside and teach a group of little girls.
He couldn't afford to lose face. He was afraid that he would avoid those colleagues when he saw him in the future. He was afraid that he would be laughed at by them.
Now there are already many people secretly laughing at Cai Yong and Yang Biao, and even Wang Ding is secretly making irresponsible remarks.
Wang Gai didn't want to think that he would be laughed at, and he couldn't even control his wife.
Although this is true, Wang Gai doesn't want everyone to know it.
Now only the people in the mansion know that if he really wants his wife to leave, the entire Chang'an City will know.
Wang Ding said: "There is no difference. My sister-in-law is my brother's wife, but she is not his accessory.
I think my brother should not stop me. It is rare that my sister-in-law wants to contribute to the big man, so my brother should not dampen her passion."
Wang Gai's face turned red. If it had been the same as before, he would have slapped Wang Ding on the face.
Let Wang Ding understand who is the elder brother.
But now, Wang Gai doesn't dare.
"Third brother, please help me as a brother. Don't let your sister-in-law go to the academy." Wang Gai begged.
Wang Dingdao: "Brother is so confused. This is a good thing. Why do you want to stop it? I will go see my sister-in-law right now and ask her to report to the academy tomorrow."
Wang Gai's face turned pale and he shouted: "Third brother, third brother, no, absolutely no."
But Wang Ding had already gotten up from the recliner.
He straightened his clothes and said, "Xiao Cui, go to eldest brother's yard."
The maid Xiaocui suppressed her laughter and responded. She glanced at Wang Gai quietly, then lowered her head and took small steps to lead the way.
Wang Ding walked past Wang Gai and said, "Brother, don't you want to go?"
Wang Gai followed Wang Ding with a sad face and said: "Third brother, no, it's my eldest brother's fault. Third brother should go back."
Along the way, Wang Gai was like a fly, buzzing around Wang Ding.
But Wang Ding was not affected at all.
Living under the same roof, several people soon arrived at Wang Gai's yard.
Xiao Cui went in first and spoke to the little maid in the yard.
After waiting for a while, a maid asked Wang Ding to come in.
"Brother has met my sister-in-law." Wang Ding bowed.
In the past few years, he has only seen his sister-in-law very rarely.
I don’t have much communication with Wang Gai, let alone Wang Gai’s wife.
"Third brother, there is no need to be polite." Mrs. Zhang said, and at the same time glanced at Wang Gai, who followed Wang Ding in.
She also knew that Wang Gai went to find Wang Ding, and it was she who asked him to go.
The couple had already agreed that as long as Wang Ding agreed, Zhang could go to the academy.
Wang Gai originally didn't want to go to Wangding, but Zhang had already taken a step back, so he had no choice but to take a step back.
Moreover, he believed that Wang Ding would be on his side. As long as he begged Wang Ding properly, Wang Ding would not agree.
But the result was completely different. Even though Wang Gai prayed repeatedly, Wang Ding ignored him.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Wang Gai's expression, she immediately understood. She looked at Wang Ding and showed a very cordial smile.
Mrs. Zhang is not sure whether Wang Ding is on his side or on Wang Gai's side.
But she and Wang Gai have been arguing about this for a month, and she is tired.
Even though she is the stronger one in the couple, on weekdays, it is only at home.
Mrs. Zhang also dared to really ignore Wang Gai and go directly to teach in a women's college.
If she really wanted to make such a fuss, Wang Gai might actually divorce her with a divorce note.
Mrs. Zhang also figured it out. If Wang Ding didn't agree, then she would just stay at home and not do what he wanted.
The women's college is set up by Wang Ding, and Diao Chan is also a teacher at the college.
If Wang Ding disagrees, he can only say that everything Diao Chan told her is false.
But now, Ms. Zhang is relieved.
Everything is true, Diao Chan did not lie to her, and Wang Ding has no prejudice against women.
However, before Wang Ding spoke, Mrs. Zhang was still very steady and asked the maid to pour Wang Ding a cup of tea.
Wang Ding took a sip of tea, and the smell in his yard was that it was the finest Emeishan tea, and the price was as good as gold.
Wang Ding put down his teacup and said, "Sister-in-law, my life only lasts a few decades.
Just do whatever you want and don't care about others. We should live for ourselves."
"Big brother said you want to go to the academy, so go ahead and go tomorrow. I'll ask Diao Chan to call you tomorrow."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Wang Gai and saw that Wang Gai's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but she did not dare to say anything.
She nodded immediately and said, "Thank you, third brother."
Wang Ding said: "No need to thank me. If the elder brother wants to bully the elder sister-in-law, the elder sister-in-law can also ask someone to tell me and I will make the decision for the elder sister-in-law."
Wang Gai's face turned completely dark.
If he had known this, he might as well have promised Zhang and let her go to the academy.
Now Wang is determined to be Zhang's backer. From now on, he will have no say in this family at all.
Wang Ding looked at Wang Gai again and said, "Brother, my sister-in-law married into the Wang family and is thousands of miles away from home. My brother should treat her well and not make her angry."
Wang Gai knew that he was powerless to change, and he didn't want to argue at this moment. He just responded: "I understand."
Although Wang Ding is younger than him, now, even Wang Yun doesn't dare to do anything to Wang Ding, let alone his brother.
In front of Wang Ding, he didn't dare to speak forcefully.
However, Wang Gai suddenly thought of his second brother and said, "Third brother, why don't you let the second brother's wife come with you?"
