"Yes, look at those little girls." Wei Yang pointed at the girls among the flowers and plants: "The boys have all gone to the Yanzhou Army Guard, so what about these girls?"
"Aren't girls' job to stay at home and do laundry, cook, and help their mother take care of their younger siblings?" Xiaocao muttered.
"Why should girls stay at home to do laundry, cook and take care of children? Girls can also learn martial arts, kill enemies, do business and support their families. How many families in Yanzhou are supported by women." Yan Xiaoling retorted unconvinced.
Wei Yang nodded and looked at Yan Xiaoling: "That's right. If we teach Yanzhou's girls more skills to make a living, then they don't have to just do laundry, cooking and raising children, right?"
Yan Xiaoyan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Wei Yang in admiration and asked anxiously, "How can I do it? Can I help, too?"
I thought to myself, my aunt is better than others, and she thinks differently from us. Every day I think about how to eat, wear and have fun, but my aunt thinks about people's livelihood!
Wei Yang looked at the people passing by and the glances they cast at her from time to time, and said softly, "Let's talk in the carriage. It's too conspicuous to stand here."
Yan Xiaoyan got on the carriage first. Yan Xiaoling asked Xiaodie's maid to wait at the railing and left her own maid behind as well, so that someone could inform her if anything happened.
When Wei Yang was about to get into the car, she touched her sleeve pocket. Where was the hairpin she bought when she came here
"Girl, what are you looking for?" Xiaocao saw that Weiyang looked strange and asked hurriedly.
"What's wrong?" Konggu also walked forward and stood beside Weiyang.
"The hairpin is lost." Wei Yang took a few steps forward and began to look for it. They brought Yan Xiaodie with them today, and since she was making a fuss, they didn't walk far and stayed in the small area on the top of the mountain.
"Aren't the girl's hairpins still on her head?" Xiaocao glanced at Weiyang's bun. It was still the pair of silver hairpins, inserted neatly in Weiyang's bun.
Konggu pulled a handful of grass and said, "Is this the wooden hairpin that the girl bought? Help me find it."
Yan Xiaoyan stuck her head out of the car window and asked with concern: "Aunt, why don't you get in the car?"
"The hairpin our girl bought fell off." Xiaocao turned around and answered.
Wei Yang waved at the carriage: "You don't have to get off. I'll look around. If I can't find it, forget it." Although she said forget it, Wei Yang was still unwilling to give up. She liked the hairpin the first time she saw it. If it hadn't fallen off, she might not have noticed it. Now that it had fallen off, she felt it was even more precious. This was the first gift she bought for Yan Gui.
Qingqing's sister stood at the railing and looked over. She saw them lowering their heads as if they were looking for something. She walked over slowly and Fuli asked, "What are you looking for?"
"A wooden hairpin." Xiaocao answered casually.
"Is that it?" Qingqing's sister asked, pointing to the ground near the railing. An ebony hairpin was lying next to a pile of weeds.
Wei Yang walked over quickly and grabbed the one in her hand. It was indeed hers. She wiped it clean and carefully put it in her sleeve pocket. She must not lose it this time.
Just as she was about to turn around, Qingqing's sister said to Weiyang, "I heard you said that you want to teach Yanzhou girls more skills to make a living. Can I go?"
"Of course, any girl from Yanzhou is fine." Wei Yang paused and continued, "But I just have this idea, I haven't decided yet."
Seeing that the woman didn't respond for a long time, Wei Yang added: "I will definitely prepare this matter seriously."
Hearing this, Qingqing's sister was startled. After a while, she bowed solemnly to Weiyang and said, "Chen Su thanks you on behalf of the girls in Yanzhou."
