"Girl Qingyou, what are you two talking about?" Xiaoshan Niang asked with confusion, "Why can't I understand a word?"

Li Qingyou smiled and said, "I'm teaching my brother arithmetic."

Then he raised his hand and rubbed Adi's head, and felt infinite regret in his heart. Adi was so smart. If it were placed in modern times, he would definitely be the kind of kid from other people's families who plays crazy all day long and still comes out on top in the exam.

It's a pity that this is ancient times. No matter how knowledgeable and talented a woman is, she is confined to a small space in the inner house and has no room to display her talents.

Li Qingyou felt regretful in her heart, but did not say it out loud. Adi was still a child, and it was the time when he was innocent, so he should not have had these helpless thoughts that could not change the facts imposed on him.

Li Qingyou didn't say it, someone else said it for her.

Xiaoshan Niang also looked at Adi with a look of regret. She didn't understand what counted and what didn't count, but looking at Adi's fluent answers and the look on Li Qingyou's face, she knew that what the child said was absolutely right.

"It's such a pity for this kid. It would be great if he was just a kid. If he has this bright head, he will definitely be able to get the top prize in the exam..." Xiaoshan Niang gave Adi a chopstick dish and said, "Here, eat more.

Come on, so you can grow up."

Li Qingyou's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly. In her previous life, her grandmother favored boys over girls. Every time she saw her, she said that it would be better if he was a boy. This sentence annoyed Li Qingyou the most.

What’s wrong with girls? The same goes for women who can do what men can do. Are there still few female entrepreneurs, strong women, and female officials?

Although times are different, girls are not necessarily useless.

His eyes quickly circled between Xiaoshan Niang and Adi. Fortunately, Adi's expression did not change much, and it seemed that he didn't take it seriously.

Of course Adi won't take it seriously, he is a boy to begin with.

"Thank you Auntie, I'll do it myself." Adi raised his face with a big smile and gave in like a grown-up, "Don't patronize me, you guys should eat more."

"Hey, eat it." Xiaoshan Niang smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. She really liked my brother. Not only did he look good, he also had a sweet mouth. It's a pity...

"If this is a boy, he will be able to establish a family in a few years, and he will not have to be bullied all day long." Xiaoshan Niang sighed, thinking of the hardships that she had to endure as a widow and raising her son for so many years, and she felt terribly uncomfortable.

, "It's not easy to be a woman..."

She's doing pretty well, at least she still has a son, and there's hope. But both sisters Li Qingyou are girls, so it's even harder than it was before. Just gossiping can drive someone to death.

Especially these days, Li Qingyou wears men's clothes all day long and goes out early and comes back late. Compared with her previous reputation as a transgressor, her reputation is now even worse. Even she, a married woman, is blushing with shame.

If Adi had been a boy, it wouldn't be so difficult for Li Qingyou. When they grow up in a few years, no one would dare to bully them anymore.

Li Qingyou frowned tightly. Xiaoshan Niang was fine in every aspect, but she was too fatalistic. She attributed all her suffering to her unchangeable gender, which was very sad in itself.

It is true that women in this era are generally like this, and Xiaoshan Niang is just one of them, but she still doesn't want to let this kind of thinking affect Adi. A person's destiny is only in his own hands, and he cannot rely on others to survive like a dodder flower.

.

Zhao Xiaoshan saw Li Qingyou's frown from the corner of his eye and bumped his mother with his elbow, "What are you talking about? Let's eat quickly."

Saying that Adi can't change into a boy no matter how hard it is, isn't this just adding salt to others' wounds?

Xiaoshan Niang saw the look in her son's eyes and hurriedly stopped her voice. Yes, isn't this her son? When the two get married, there will at least be a man in the family.

"I don't think there is any difference between men and women." Li Qingyou suddenly spoke. Adi is now in the formative period of his outlook on life. He has little limitations in his thinking and can change it. "Being a woman is difficult, and being a man is not easy either. Everyone is independent.

Individuals do not need to rely on others for survival, let alone base their lives on others."

Adi looked at her. Li Qingyou was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he changed his words to a simpler way.

"If you compare life to a tree, do you want to be a straight and towering tree, or do you want to be a vine that depends on the tree to survive?" Li Qingyou said.

"I want to make a tree." Adi nodded vigorously.

"That's right." Li Qingyou smiled and rubbed his head, "Life is difficult, but you can't stop living just because of the difficulty. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you have the courage to fight and strive for the top, you can live a good life no matter where you are.

Come."

There was silence in the room.

My brother's eyes are shining, his sister Qingyou is extraordinary.

Zhao Xiaoshan was also a little excited. Li Qingyou was the one who changed his destiny. Otherwise, he would still be beaten and scolded by his master all day long, living a life without enough to eat. If it weren't for Li Qingyou, his mother might not be able to do anything right now.

So done.

Xiaoshan Niang opened her mouth in shock, "Oh my god, is Qingyou girl crazy?"

"Then can Adi also go to school?" Adi looked up at Li Qingyou, his clear eyes full of expectation.

In the beginning, he felt very happy playing with Goudan, Erxi and the others all day long. The unrestrained feeling of running wildly over the mountains and plains was a freedom he had never experienced in the past ten years of his life.

But once this kind of life goes on for a long time, it becomes boring, the whole person feels empty, and there is an uneasiness about wasting life.

This uneasiness became even worse after returning from the Wei family.

In the past, when he was the crown prince of Chu Huai, he was the swordsman and others were the flesh and blood. But now it is reversed and their fate is only controlled by the thoughts of others. This feeling is too uncomfortable.

Especially when I see Sister Qingyou being cautious, walking on thin ice, trying to survive in the cracks, it is even more unpleasant.

And he, the prince who has become a thing of the past, can only watch, and this feeling is even more depressing to the extreme.

Just like Sister Qingyou said, his father, King Chu Huai, is a towering tree, and his eldest son looks beautiful, but in fact he is just a vine that relies on his father to survive. Once he is separated from King Chu Huai's palace, he will have nothing.

No, there is even fear for one's life.

But Sister Qingyou's words, "You can't stop living just because of difficulties. As long as you strive for the best and strive for the best, you can live your own life." It was like an enlightenment that made him see the light of day.

Sister Qingyou can survive without depending on anyone, and so can he.

The best way for civilians to change their destiny is to take the imperial examination.

"You want to go to school?" Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment, but she had not considered this.

"Isn't it possible?" Adi nodded, his big eyes gleaming, "Didn't sister say there is no difference between men and women?"

Yes, can't it?

What's not possible?
