Zhu Xunmiao had met Jin Xiaoye before, and when he learned that Li Qingzhi asked Jin Xiaoye to bring him something, he immediately walked over.
Jin Xiaoye took out a rolled-up paper and gave it to Zhu Xunmiao: "Master Zhu, this is what my Ah Qing wrote recently. He asked me to give it to you."
Li Qingzhi was not used to writing with his left hand, so he could not write characters as big as a fingernail. These characters were basically as big as a bottle cap.
As a result, the amount of paper used to write a 40,000-word manuscript is a bit too much and quite heavy.
Zhu Xunmiao took it and felt happy in his heart - he finally had a book to read again.
Jin Xiaoye then said, "My husband said his handwriting is a bit sloppy, so I'd like you to find someone to copy it before it can be seen by others."
"I understand. I'll find someone to copy it." Zhu Xunmiao said.
"I have said everything he told me. I have something to do at home, Master Zhu, so I'm going home!" Jin Xiaoye said to Zhu Xunmiao, and with a push of the bamboo pole in his hand, the boat left the river pier and headed towards Miaoqian Village.
"Brother Zhu, who is that?" One of Zhu Xunmiao's classmates asked Zhu Xunmiao curiously.
"She is the wife of a good friend of mine." Zhu Xunmiao said.
Zhu Xunmiao's classmate frowned when he heard this: "Brother Zhu, your good friend..."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Xunmiao asked in confusion when he saw that he seemed to have something to say.
The man said, "Since Brother Zhu asked, I will tell you straight away. Even if your friend's family is poor and he needs his wife to do some work to supplement the family income, he should let his wife do needlework at home. How can he let his wife go out to row the boat and show her face in public? Brother Zhu, you should remind him not to let his wife do such immoral things."
Chongcheng County has a developed business, so women are not as restricted as in some other places.
Walking on the street, you can often see women running shops and doing small businesses, and there are also many boatwomen rowing boats on the river.
Also, because women can earn money and have their own income, the status of women in Chongcheng County is not low.
But even so, in the eyes of most educated people, women should not show their faces in public.
Zhu Xunmiao heard Li Qingzhi talking about Jin Xiaoye, and Li Qingzhi was full of praise for Jin Xiaoye.
He was grateful and said that if it weren't for Jin Xiaoye, he might have starved to death... Therefore, although Zhu Xunmiao didn't talk to Jin Xiaoye much, he admired Jin Xiaoye very much.
Now Jin Xiaoye is just rowing a boat, how can it be considered immoral
Zhu Xunmiao sneered: "Brother Fang is truly a gentleman. Why don't you walk from one end of the street to the other and persuade those women who come out to make a living to go home!" Let's see if those people don't beat him to death!
"You..." The scholar named Fang blushed.
Zhu Xunmiao added: "The teacher's family still comes to the school every day to deliver food, Brother Fang can also go and remind them."
Zhu Xunmiao left after saying this.
His classmate was named Fang Zijian. Fang Zijian came from an ordinary family and could only afford to study because his mother and sisters earned money by sewing. His situation was similar to Xu Qiwen's.
Perhaps because he saw that Xu Qiwen got a lot of advantages by being close to him, Fang Zijian wanted to make friends with him, but Fang Zijian was too pedantic, which really disgusted him.
This person had actually advised him to ask his father to give up business and become a landlord, saying that this way he would not be looked down upon by others...
