Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai had their own thoughts.
Shi Xiangyun, on the other hand, only called her brother and sister-in-law, which made Cheng Fourth Niangzi extremely happy.
After the servants finished cleaning up the Martial Virtue Garden, Jia Xuan brought Cheng Si Niangzi to live in the Martial Virtue Garden. He even invited Daiyu, Baochai, and Shi Xiangyun to come in and play for a while.
The decoration of Wude Garden,
The women were shocked.
Because Wude Garden was too big!
As the residence of the former Duke of Rong, the Martial Virtue Garden was the largest courtyard in Rong Mansion. There was a lake and a plum forest inside. The beautiful scenery was too numerous to count. It was much more beautiful than the Grand View Garden that had been changed from the Family Courtyard.
Cheng Si Niangzi brought a few girls out to play in the yard. On a whim, she made a swing with carpentry toys, which really opened Daiyu, Baochai, and Xiangyun's eyes.
"Wow! Sister-in-law, this swing is so fun. It's so comfortable to swing.”
Shi Xiangyun swayed from the swing and giggled.
"Ai-sister-in-law," Baochai teased,"how did you make a swing out of a pile of wood?" Can you teach us? I still want to get one in Muwu Garden.”
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but be curious." I love you, sister-in-law. I want to learn too."”
This novel carpenter toy was a whole new world for the women who only had the entertainment of admiring the scenery and reciting poems.
And this swing was actually so fun.
Dai Yu and the others couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Si Niangzi was somewhat conflicted and said,"Sisters, it's not impossible for Curly Hair to teach you, but Mother said that a lady from a noble family shouldn't learn this, as it would cause others to say that she doesn't look like a lady.”
In the past, the Fourth Lady liked carpentry very much.
However, she was not allowed to learn in the Cheng residence. Madam Ge said that she did not look like a lady all day long. Even her biological mother, Xiao Yuanyi, said that she was ignorant and incompetent.
So at this time, Cheng Fourth Lady was really conflicted. She didn't know if she should teach them.
Jia Xuan smiled and said," Why does Curly Hair care about other people's opinions? Anyone can learn the principles of the world. Who said that only women are allowed to learn how to look after their husbands and teach their children? Although women were weak, they could also explore the truth they liked. They were clear about the world and learned everywhere. If they cared about other people's opinions, wouldn't it be very tiring to live?”
"Husband…"
Curly Hair was a little excited because Jia Xuan's words had really spoken to her heart.
Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai also fell into deep thought. They were influenced by Jia Xuan's words and had many thoughts that they had never had before.
Jia Xuan continued,"A woman's fate is not just to marry a woman and take care of her husband and children.”
"How many principles are there in this world?"
"How did wood become a bridge?”
"How do the crops in the farmhouse grow?”
"What are the stars in the sky? Why are the sun, moon, and stars constantly moving?"
"Only when you understand some principles and knowledge will you not be controlled by others everywhere. Even if you marry into a family, you will be considered equal and not dependent. Women can also settle down and make a living by themselves.”
When everyone heard Jia Xuan's words, their eyes lit up more and more. They looked at Jia Xuan with admiration.
Especially the last sentence, it simply touched Daiyu's heart.
Ever since she came to the Jia residence, hadn't she been relying on others?
If she had knowledge and means, why would she have to be afraid in the Jia residence?
Even if she only learned how to make a swing, if the Jia family did not like her, she could still go out and sell swings to support herself.
Thinking about it,
Lin Daiyu's mentality had already begun to change. She looked at Jia Xuan with a strange gaze. She felt that a man like Jia Xuan was a real man.
Thinking about Baoyu.
The difference between him and Jia Xuan was too great!
Shi Xiangyun could not quite understand the logic behind it, but she also felt that what Jia Xuan said was right.
As for Xue Baochai, it was as if she had an epiphany.
Baochai was intelligent to begin with. She had long thought that she would become a tool for the family's marriage alliance in the future. Now, Jia Xuan's words had enlightened her.
If she had her own career, like Wang Xifeng, who controlled everything in the Xue family, why would she need a marriage alliance?
"Women are not only dependent on others. The living beings of the world should strive to improve themselves.”Xue Baochai muttered.
The women were deeply moved.
Cheng Si Niangzi even hugged Jia Xuan directly. She only felt that Jia Xuan was her husband, but he was more like a confidant.
The hardships she had suffered since she was young.
Now, it had all paid off!
With such a loving husband who stood up for her and understood her, what else could she ask for?
"Alright, Curly, all the sisters are watching.”
Jia Xuan smiled and rubbed her curled little head.
Curly Hair quickly turned around and found that Daiyu was shy, Xiangyun was smiling evilly, and Baochai was full of envy. They were all looking at her.
"Aiya-"
Curly Hair hurriedly jumped away.
"Alright, Curly Hair, sisters, I bought ten Sunset Cloud Muslin for this trip to Yangzhou.”
Jia Xuan smiled.
"This Sunset Cloud Gauze is a specialty of Yangzhou's Su family's cloth shop. It is beautiful and can change into seven colors under the sunlight. It is extremely precious. At present, you can't find any Sunset Cloud Gauze in the capital.”
"Take some of these ten bolts of Sunset Cloud Gauze and make some clothes.”
Jia Xuan waved his hand, and a few armored Snow Dragon Knights immediately walked in from outside, holding ten Sunset Cloud Muslin in their hands.
The soldier waved his hand.
The Sunset Cloud Gauze was raised high, revealing a beautiful color under the sunlight. The eyes of the few women sparkled with little stars.
The girls were all born rich, so what kind of clothes had they not seen before?
They were already numb to gold, silver, and jewelry, and they were tired of wearing them!
They had never seen such a beautiful Sunset Cloud Gauze that could change its color!
A sense of novelty instantly surged into his heart.
"Speaking of which, the person who made this Sunset Cloud Gauze was a woman named Su Tan 'er.”
Jia Xuan smiled.
"It's a woman who created this beautiful Sunset Cloud Silk?" Cheng Si Niangzi exclaimed.”
Daiyu and the others were also surprised.
Jia Xuan continued," That's right. Ever since she was young, Su Tan 'er liked to weave, but her father did not support it. The Su family that she was from did not want her to sell cloth all day either. They only hoped that she would find a good family and marry. However, she still persisted and finally created this Sunset Cloud Silk that shook Yangzhou. Countless high-ranking officials and nobles were proud to be able to obtain a Sunset Cloud Silk.”
"Wow, then this Sister Su Tan 'er is really our role model.”
Shi Xiangyun sighed with emotion, and both Daiyu and Baochai praised her too.
"That's right, she's really a strange woman. I really hope to meet her.”
Cheng Si Niangzi also sighed with emotion. She had a feeling of becoming a confidant. How similar was her experience to Su Tan 'er?
She liked carpentry and the principles that women were not allowed to learn in the world, but her parents, uncles, and sisters-in-law, the Matriarch, did not agree.
Su Tan 'er liked to weave, but her parents did not agree.
But in the end, Su Tan 'er succeeded!
Cheng Si Niangzi's heart could not help but become much stronger. She regarded Su Tan 'er as her role model and also hoped that she could learn and achieve some results.
