Before Lu Yunqi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had made up his mind to bring his sister back home and would never agree to let his sister marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion and suffer humiliation.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes!
It was all because of that kid He Yu, who kept calling him brother. He called him more affectionately than Lu Tianwei and the others, and even promised him that he would only marry Yun Shu in this life.
It was all the Prime Minister's fault for being too cunning. He even said that everything would depend on the children's ideas, saying that Yunshu was the Madam's savior and that she would treat Yunshu as her own daughter. If He Yu dared to bully her, he would break his legs.
In addition, Yun Shu looked at He Yu with gentleness and tenderness, which was enough to show that she was not indifferent to He Yu.
Before Lu Yunqi could say a word, he felt that he had lost everything.
Finally, he had lunch at the Prime Minister's Mansion, drank some wine with He Yu, and betrothed his sister to someone else in a daze.
It was only after the breeze blew on the way back that Lu Yunqi's mind slowly became clear.
But thinking about the good reputation of the Prime Minister among the people, the virtuous and gentle Prime Minister's wife, and He Yu's stupidity (?), most importantly, they were very respectful and tolerant to his younger sister. Lu Yunqi felt that his younger sister was very suitable for such a family.
But when Lu Yunqi talked about this with Mingyue, he always felt a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't think this way when he knew about this before.
Mingyue didn't say anything, but just reminded: "Since you have made up your mind, then prepare the makeup for Yunshu! And write a letter to your uncle Lu and Fuji. This is an important event in Yunshu's life, and they have to come and see it."
Lu Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course."
Mingyue thought for a moment and added, "Also, Yunjing and the others are your sisters too. You must not favor one over the other, or else a rift will arise between them."
Lu Yunqi nodded: "Don't worry, sister. I always treat my sisters equally. What Yunshu has, they naturally have too."
Mingyue nodded slightly, "It's good that you know it in your heart."
After that, the two of them didn't say much and went about their business separately.
After all, Lu Yunshu's marriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion is a big deal, so the Lu family's dowry must be prepared well.
However, Mingyue had thought about these things in her early years. The Lu family's shop had made good profits in recent years, and it was not difficult to provide makeup for the nine girls.
And Mingyue had no plans to get married, so the things given to them were all related to their preferences, and they got a share of the profits from the shops, and she kept all the things!
When Lu Yunjiao and the others found out about this, they were surprised again.
No one could have imagined that Lu Yunshu, who had always been extremely intelligent, would be the first among the sisters to step into the bondage of marriage.
"Yun Shu is moving too fast. He doesn't even know the character of the Prime Minister. What if he gets hurt in the future?"
"Yun Shu has always been smart. I'm not worried that she will suffer any loss. I just think that the Prime Minister will be completely taken advantage of by her."
"I didn't expect Yunshu to get married. I thought everyone would be like my sister and have no intention of getting married."
"I won't get married anyway. Marrying is not as comfortable as staying at home."
"I won't get married either. I'll just be your good sisters for the rest of my life..."
However, these girls who said they would not get married eventually broke their promises one by one.
After Yun Shu married He Yu, they lived a sweet and happy life.
Not long after, Yun Man amazed everyone with her wonderful painting skills at a poetry meeting and won the favor of many young talents. However, she finally chose to marry a young calligraphy master after many years. Yun Jiao and the young master of the silk shop in Beijing met because of a piece of unique cloth. They played a happy enemy and lived a chaotic life, but finally got married.
Yun Jing fell in love with writing storybooks, and staged an ancient version of fans chasing updates with the owner of a bookseller. In the end, the author and the fan lived happily (unhappily) together.
Yun Ji fell in love with the brother of her good friend Miss Wang. The advantage of her best friend becoming her sister-in-law is that the relationship between them is particularly good, which often makes Master Wang feel redundant.
Cloud Night...
Clouds and smoke…
Mingyue married these girls one by one, watched them change from young ladies of the Lu family to wives of other families, watched them shed their youthfulness and become independent women.
No matter what kind of family they married into, no matter what their husbands were like, the only thing in common was that they still liked to listen to their sister Mingyue, and they still insisted on doing things to change the situation of women.
Therefore, there were women's academies in the capital city, and the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion took the lead in becoming a teacher, and other noble ladies followed suit.
Therefore, there are more shops in the capital city that recruit women to work, and some of them are old shops that have been open for a hundred years. I heard that it was the young master's wife who proposed the idea, and the young master has always followed her.
Therefore, there are many strange and bizarre bookstores in the bookshops in the capital, such as "I Will Be in Charge After My Brother Dies", "Female Generals of Song Clan Guarding the Border", "I Kicked Off the Soft Husband and I Am the Only One Who Is Beautiful", etc. It is said that because the content is so interesting, even the ladies in the palace are reading them!
so…
In just over two years, the entire capital city has changed dramatically.
In the past, women who only stayed in their houses began to go out of their homes. They became teachers or students in academies, owners, accountants, or clerks in shops, or just pawns.
They seem to be them, yet they seem to have become them.
Those rights that once only existed in men now seem to be within their control.
At the beginning, there were men who stood up and criticized women for being unorthodox. They wanted them to live in an orderly manner like before and wanted to constrain them within the secular morals they had established.
But no bird, after having seen freedom, would be willing to return to its cage.
Even the first place where the fire broke out was in the emperor's harem.
She was the daughter of a military general. She was born with supernatural powers and extraordinary intelligence. She was clearly destined to be a general. However, she was a girl and was eventually sent to the palace, becoming an unpopular concubine.
When the stories of those women on how to be self-reliant were spread into the harem, and when she learned about the many changes in the capital, the concubine laughed out loud, went out, and found the most noble man in the world.
That day, the concubine talked with the emperor for a long time, so long that the eunuchs guarding the door couldn't help shivering when they heard the sound of vases breaking several times inside. At that time, the concubine came out with a bright smile on her face that she had never had before. Her slightly rough face was radiant like never before.
Afterwards, the concubine was deposed and rushed into the military camp as a soldier.
But this is just the beginning.
Later, there were concubines who worked as teachers in the academy, concubines who worked as shopkeepers in the Jinyu Building, and concubines who recorded the emperor's daily life in front of the palace...
Of course the woman can spread her wings and fly high, after all, even the current emperor has opened the cage door.
Who in the world dares not to obey
