My whole family is punching cards in the farming article to survive

"What did you go out to do today?"

Before the dinner started, Yongyuan, who had not seen anyone all afternoon, came back after wandering around.

Mei Bei looked at Yong Yuan's appearance as a woman disguised as a man, and then looked at the guard who followed Yong Yuan back with dull eyes. Mei Bei guessed that Yong Yuan went out to have fun this afternoon.

"It's nothing. I'm just strolling around Fucheng to see what's different from my home and Xianyao's place."

Yongyuan changed out of her fancy clothes and dressed up like a lady again.

Mei Bei asked questions from the side, and Yong Yuan answered honestly what she saw today.

"What difference do you notice?"

"I think the young ladies here seem to have much more freedom than I have seen in other places before. There are many women in some shops on the street...well, 'showing their faces'? Ah, there are quite a lot of them out there doing things. "

"Isn't that good?"

Meiberry raised her eyebrows, as if digging a hole to wait for Yongyuan to jump.

"What's so good? I asked around. Women can go out to do things, but the money still has to be given to family members, such as father, brother, son, etc..."

After saying this, Yongyuan spat softly and said, "Are you crazy? Why isn't the money you earned through hard work given to yourself?"

"They also have families~"

"But are all the men in the family? Why not give it to the grandmother, not the mother, not the daughter, but just to the man?"

"Look at you, you're asking a lot of questions?"

Mei Bei smiled lightly, picked an orange rouge from Yongyuan's makeup and handed it to the maid who applied Yongyuan's makeup, and glanced at the displeased face in the mirror.

"So, am I the kind of person who talks nonsense without knowing it clearly?"

"Oh, you better not."

There were quite a few times when Yongyuan made unscrupulous remarks. Meibei picked out a few more pearl flowers for Yongyuan and asked:
"Then why are you so angry? In fact, the phenomena you mentioned can be found in other places, such as Xianyao and Yanzhou."

"But those places are different from Zhuzhou. There are quite a few ladies here who can read and calculate accounts, but, but they..."

Yongyuan herself couldn't describe what she wanted to express for a while, but she felt that a literate and sensible young lady should not be like this.

In the end, Yongyuan couldn't make sense and could only count on Mei Bei and asked: "Sister, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand~"

Mayberry nodded.

It's not her first day in Zhuzhou Fucheng, nor does she stay here every day. Like Yongyuan, she likes to wander around.

She also saw what Yongyuan could discover.

The restraint on women here is not physical, but mental.

Some of them even don't agree with themselves in their own hearts.

Many of them feel that everything they do now is for the men in the family.

Be it a father or brother, a husband or a son.

Whether they are taking care of the back house or walking to the front hall, most of them still regard men as the most respected person in their hearts.

Therefore, Mei Mei couldn't help but think of the time when Qi Jinghao gave her a man. Mei Mei felt vaguely that a man like Qi Jinghao was very rare.

At least he still knows how to think from someone else's perspective, but his perspective-taking is a bit crooked.

"Then, sister, what can you do? Do you want us to bring Xianyao's set over too?"

After Yongyuan put on her makeup, she turned away from the maid. She sat on the round stool with carved red sandalwood and looked up at Meiberry expectantly.

Mayberry saw something else in her eager eyes.

"Is everything going well with Cui Ying when I go to Yongfang Prefecture with you?"

"Ah...not bad."

Yongyuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mei Bei was doing when she asked Cui Ying.

"I remember that you took Cui Ying away and asked her to help you start a career in Yongfang Prefecture, right? Are you going to bring those who were selected by Xianyao to Yongfang Prefecture?"

After Mei Bei finished speaking, Yong Yuan nodded, but before Mei Bei could continue to ask, Yong Yuan said with a sullen face: "However, Cui Ying told me that Xianyao's is not suitable for Yongfang Prefecture, and said that everything must be considered in the long run~ well!"

After saying that, Yongyuan sighed heavily.Mei Pei also learned about Cui Ying's concerns through Yongyuan's mouth.

In Yongfang Prefecture, there are many mountain people, many of whom are illiterate, and even worse, many of whom cannot speak Mandarin.

If you want to implement the selection of minor officials in Yongfang Prefecture, Meibei's set of written test papers alone will not suffice.

But Yongyuan also said that there are many illiterate people in Yongfang Prefecture who are not incompetent, which may mean that their method of screening petty officials may have to change.

However, being illiterate and unable to speak Mandarin is another problem for the promotion of junior officials. After selecting junior officials, in the future, the training of junior officials must also consider the popularization and education of Mandarin.

When it comes to education, Cui Ying also believes that the Enlightenment School should be launched as soon as possible to popularize Dacheng's Mandarin and writing. It may be difficult for junior officials in the first few years.

But later, due to the popularization of education, it will be much easier for petty officials to choose.

What Cui Ying said was not unreasonable, and Mei Pei also expressed appreciation for Yongyuan and Cui Ying for not blindly misappropriating Xianyao's laws when they returned.

"Hmph~ Although we in Yongfang Prefecture may not have as many literate and polite people as here, I think the women there are much better than here.

Many of the villages in our mountains and villages are headed by women~"

Yongyuan had no awareness of these things before, but after staying with Meibei for a long time and seeing so many things, she gradually discovered that Yongyuan also began to think about why women should have fewer choices than men.

After chatting with Mei Bei for a long time, Mei Bei always guided her to think slowly. In the end, Yong Yuan was not willing to think about it anymore, so she changed the topic to a lighter topic and asked:

"By the way, I heard that you don't have a good deal with the prefect here."

"Not easy to deal with? No~"

Mayberry shook her head.

"No?" Yongyuan stared at Mei Bi with wide eyes and asked, "But I heard them say that you are disgusting, Qi Jinghao. What did that person do to make you so disgusted?"

"Who told you that?"

Mei Bei was concerned about who told Yong Yuan that she hated Qi Jinghao.

It’s okay to just talk to Yongyuan about this, but how embarrassing would it be if word got out?
"Oh, it's just that I sometimes saw that your expression didn't look right when you mentioned the prefect here, so I asked the people around my uncle."

Realizing that Mei Bei seemed to have misunderstood, Yong Yuan quickly explained.

Meiberry was also surprised when she heard this explanation: "Am I so obvious?"

"Fortunately, I can't tell if I'm not familiar with you~" Yongyuan also took the opportunity to have a relationship with Mei Li and wanted to act coquettishly with Mei Li.

It's a pity that Meiberry has no interest in the coquettish behavior of the golden-winged roc.

"It's not that I hate it, I can't say that I like it. He does things well, but he has a certain way of doing things..."

Mei Bei shook her head, gave Yong Yuan a look of understanding, and said no more.

"Anyway, you can see it yourself during the banquet later, so I can't say more."

If Mei Mei could predict what Qi Jinghao did at the banquet, she would definitely emphasize it to Yongyuan now——

"Eat well and don't look around."

Ever since, at tonight's banquet, Mayberry's expression management went out of control again.

Qi Jinghao, what should I say?

Just like what Xie Changxu said, people still have their eyes on him. He would never give away the love between Yong Wang and his wife, the harmonious music of the piano and the harp.

However, he will give it to the princess!

Mei Bei held the wine glass and stared dumbly at the row of beautiful men with different styles over Yong Yuan.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should praise Qi Jinghao for his progress, or scold him for being a dog and eating shit.

The one on the left is a polite and scholarly Confucian scholar serving tea;

On the right is an old acquaintance, Qingliu, who is very charming and weak, and Fufeng pours wine.
There are also abstinent icebergs with vegetables and burly muscular men carrying snacks and side dishes.

The moment Mei Mei saw these men clearly, her brain went awry: So, Qi Jinghao arranged for a man to be given to her that day. Was he looking down on her?

Mayberry: What?I don’t have enough status to attract so many men to seduce me?
Qi Jinghao: It turns out you are too young!
Mayberry: Ah...that, that's not it (guilty.JPG)

Xie Changwen:?

The second update will probably be in the afternoon, no later than five o'clock, okay~
