The Queen's words made the hearts of Madam Chen and Master Xu boil.
If these words were said from the mouths of others, they might not inspire anything, but these words were said by the empress, and the weights were naturally different, and the shocks they brought were also different.
"Mrs. Chen, what Ben Gong said today from their family affairs seems abrupt, but in fact it is helpless. Many women choose to hide their grievances in their hearts, and don't even want to say a word to others, lest they fall bad. If you do good deeds or gain a good reputation for the overall situation, it is good, but if you make yourself humiliated and wronged and try to improve your reputation, it is ridiculous, because it is not your own face, but a man's face, which is also absurd. It's not my own reputation, it's the so-called family reputation."
"This palace doesn't mean to make everyone suffer. If you have grievances, you have to tell others. Some people also like to hide their own thoughts, but they must have other choices. Now the court actually has laws related to protecting women. , but everyone doesn't need it, why don't you use it? Because it's not good to look good after going out, and it's useless to be afraid of going out. It's better to just endure it yourself, Mrs. Chen, do you think this is the case now? In such a situation, especially Focusing on your dignitaries and official family members, the more you like to cover up in aristocratic mansions, but this palace hopes that you can set an example and let the women of the Northern Tang Dynasty see your bravery. Over time, those women who have been wronged will dare to Stand up and resist, and what we have to do is to open this opening."
"You always have to take the first step in everything to know how to go in the future." Yuan Qingling finally emphasized this sentence.
Mrs. Chen was delighted and convinced, and respectfully knelt down and kowtowed, "It's better to listen to the words of the goddess than to be a hundred years old. The court lady understands the mother's painstaking efforts, and she will not disappoint the goddess. I look forward to the future of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and women can hold up half the sky."
"Mrs. Chen, yes," Yuan Qingling looked at her and said, "But we need to fight for this day, not by gifts or man's awakening."
Yuan Qingling does not advocate the opposition between men and women, nor does he advocate that women compare with men, but just wants to open up a relatively free living space for women.
After Mrs. Chen left, Yuan Qingling and Master Xu had a private chat for a while.
Master Xu also said the truth, "Actually, the women have wanted to move out for a long time, but leaving their mother-in-law alone, I am afraid that outsiders will criticize the children for being unfilial. , so this matter has been delayed again and again, and now I have only bought four houses, and there are still two houses left. If they want to split up, they will not be split until they are all married."
Yuan Qingling couldn't help admiring, "You are really amazing. A woman has raised several children so well. Now that the children are older, you don't have to work too hard on yourself."
"The Empress is overrated. Parents, they always think about their children. Although they have their own ways, they have not yet gotten married. Getting married will inevitably cost a lot of money. In the future, they will have children and children, and they will inevitably help at home. , Minwomen don’t think it’s hard work, and they can still earn, so they continue to earn, and the more people women save for them, the less hardship they will suffer in the future.”
Yuan Qingling patted the back of her hand, "I think you have your own plans, and this palace doesn't give you too many ideas. You can decide."
Master Xu said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, the kindness of the lady, and the women will remember it in my heart."
"Take care of your injuries." Yuan Qingling felt a little sad in her heart. She worked so hard for so many years, and all she remembered in her heart was the good of others. How rare.
After leaving the Lu family, Yuan Qingling went back to the palace, and Beiya's affairs will naturally be dealt with. Her queen has already shown her face, and there is a direction for what to do next.
On the other hand, the old fifth angrily said that Qin Huan and his son should be dealt with first. Yuan Qingling thought for a while and said, "It's fine to deal with Qin Huan, but his son won't do it."
"How can he not deal with his son? That's a scourge." The fifth was against his daughter-in-law for the first time.
Yuan Qingling took his hand and sat down, comforting: "Don't worry, just ask Gu Si to handle Qin Huan. As for his son, just keep it for your son, okay?"
This incident started because of Chi Tong and hurt Master Xu. Bao'er would definitely be very angry. If everything is done when he comes back, he will not show his anger and keep this Young Master Qin for him. , so that he can vent his anger.
The old fifth suddenly turned his anger into joy, "You're still thoughtful."
Yuan Qingling rubbed his temples, "Bao Er always said that he would grow up with Chi Tong slowly, but he is really too busy, we can help, help, but some should not be helped, keep them for him play."
"What you said is right." The old fifth's flattery was so smooth. The corrupt officials' behavior alarmed Lao Yuan, which made him very angry.
