Her parents only gave birth to a daughter, and they were both in poor health. They both died shortly after she was born. Pei Wen was left with only a nanny who had taken care of her since she was a child.
The status of women in this continent is not low. Even if Pei Wen's biological father and mother have passed away, she can still take over the family's wealth and inherit the family business normally.
Pei Wen also said that there are not so many requirements for women on this continent. They do not need to rely on cultivation to improve their status. There is no patriarchal mentality and they will not be criticized for not getting married.
An orphan like her is highly respected as long as she can run her family in an orderly manner, regardless of whether she is a boy or a girl, or whether she wants to get married and have children.
Yingxue didn't know these things at the time, and she couldn't help but feel fascinated when she heard her say this.
She had never heard of this. After all, when Shi Yingxue was still in a small village, she knew how patriarchal the locals were.
Some people are extremely poor, but they still want to have a son. Even if they have worked hard to give birth to five or six daughters and cannot afford to raise them, they still want to have a son.
There is even a very cruel sentence: "My daughter, a cheap loser, should be thrown into a urinal and drowned when she is born!"
In this comparison, Shi Yingxue also felt that this place was really a good place.
Pei Wen grew up here alone. Although the days when he was not practicing cultivation made him a little uncomfortable, after staying for a long time and getting used to being a rich lady, he felt very comfortable.
When she first came here, she consciously looked for Shi Yingxue, but there was no news, so she just let it go.
The day before yesterday, she wanted to go out to visit the handkerchief owner next door. On the way, she was so hot that she felt dizzy. In addition, she accidentally spilled the water she brought when she went out, so she had to stop to drink herbal tea.
She didn't have any airs, and she wanted to drink water quickly, so she got out of the carriage. As a result, her feet were weak and she fell. She was stunned and her feet became swollen.
Later, everyone knew what happened. She didn't recognize Shi Yingxue on the spot. After all, Shi Yingxue had fully grown. Back then, Shi Yingxue was still young, but now her appearance and voice have greatly improved.
Pei Wen didn't recognize the change at all.
It was only later that she returned to her house and applied the medicinal wine that she realized that it was not a local product, and its efficacy was unmatched by ordinary medicinal wine. After recalling the tone and gesture of the young man's words at that time, she felt that it was not the same as in her impression.
Shi Yingxue is somewhat similar.
Pei Wen thought of the words of the woman in white asking her to help Shi Yingxue when she was in trouble, so she immediately wrote a letter and asked her girl to send it to her, asking Shi Yingxue to come over.
This is the cause and effect of our meeting today.
The two chatted for a long time, and the old nanny came in to give some snacks. When she saw that Yingxue and Peiwen were indeed talking politely, Peiwen also told her just now that the handsome young man in front of her was a woman.
, and then the worries in my heart were put down.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Shi Yingxue also knew that it would not be good for her to stay in the room of an unmarried lady as a man, so she stood up and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Pei Wen looked a little reluctant to leave. After repeated inquiries, Shi Yingxue learned that her grandparents on the other side of the continent had written letters asking to take her over to live with her.
She no longer has any relatives here, and her grandfather is no longer alive, so she decided early on to sell off her family property and ancestral home and go to join her grandparents. She said goodbye to Shi Yingxue today, and I'm afraid she will never be able to see each other again in the future.
.
Shi Yingxue thought for a while, then asked Peiwen if she wanted to go back to the Cultivation Continent with her. She had found out clearly that spiritual energy could not be used here, let alone cultivation. If she wanted to return to the Cultivation Continent, she could only spend one hundred thousand taels of silver and catch Kang.
The master's big ship goes to the seaside to find out what's going on.
For Shi Yingxue, although this place is nice, the Cultivation Continent is her home.
Unexpectedly, Peiwen shook his head: "Uncle, I haven't practiced for a long time, and I can't live that kind of hard life. Besides, I have such a big family to take care of here, and my grandparents are waiting for me to grow up to support them, so I will
I won’t go back again.”
She paused and then said: "Look, don't you think it's very good here too? I have a family and money here, and even if I don't have immortality, I still think it's very good."
Shi Yingxue doesn't like to force others. She said so and she thinks it's good. As long as Peiwen feels good and lives a happy life, she thinks it's all good.
So she nodded and said, "If you live a good life, everything will be fine."
Pei Wen had no intention of forcing Shi Yingxue to stay, but she just felt a little uncomfortable in the separation.
However, the two of them have already made their decisions, it is very obvious, and they will not change. This kind of parting sadness is inevitable.
Suddenly, Pei Wen seemed to have remembered something. She called out to the old lady and asked her to go to the secret compartment of her father's study and take out a letter with the word "Dragon Gate" written on it.
Shi Yingxue didn't understand why, so Peiwen explained to her with a smile: "Didn't you say that you wanted to go to sea on Master Kang's big ship? My father and Master Kang were brothers by fate.
After my father passed away, Mr. Kang came to express his condolences and left me a handwritten Longmen note. He said that if anything important happens in the future, I should go find him with the Longmen note and he will definitely help me.
There is no use for me to get this thing. One hundred thousand taels of silver can only be saved by my uncle alone. I don’t know how long it will take to save it. So I simply borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and gave this dragon gate note to my uncle.
In the future we will be far apart, and we may never see each other again, but this is my feeling for my uncle, don’t lose it and don’t forget it.”
Peiwen was no longer the little baby she was before. She smiled gently, and Shi Yingxue suddenly realized that she had grown into another adult with a mind not much different from hers.
Yingxue would definitely remember this help. She regained consciousness and held Peiwen's hand tightly, her eyes a little red: "Peiwen, I'm sorry for you..."
Pei Wen patted the back of Shi Yingxue's hand with his backhand, and said with a bit of cry: "There is no need to apologize. We all have our own destiny. Uncle Master should rise to the top and aspire to the path of immortality. I have suffered like this in my previous life.
I don’t want to eat it again in my life, and I only have one wish in my heart, that is, that both you and I can live a good life.”
There was another speechless and choking moment, and both of them shed tears. It wasn't until grandma brought the Dragon Gate Notes in a brocade box that they both wiped away the tears on their faces.
Peiwen opened the brocade box and checked that the dragon's paper inside was intact, then put the entire brocade box into Shi Yingxue's hand: "Take it, I'll ask my girl to take you to Mr. Kang's house soon."
Come on, their family members recognize my seal and will not give you any trouble."
