Chapter 144 Will You Come
"This is a piggy bank," Ren Baozhi took out a copper coin and dropped it into the coin slot of the piggy pot. "Look, you can put your money in the piggy bank. When you need it, you can break the pot and take it out."
Ren Lanyue felt distressed when she heard this and hugged the piggy bank tightly: "My sister gave it to me, I can't bear to drop it."
Ren Baozhi laughed heartily. "That's why piggy banks can save money. Everyone gathered here today has come through hard times. The purpose of this piggy bank is to encourage everyone to save a small portion of their earnings for emergencies."
Everyone listened quietly and nodded while eating.
"Over the past month, I believe everyone has come to understand that the freedom to earn one's own living is the true freedom.
The more money you have, the greater your freedom. When you have enough money, you no longer have to work hard for the Women's Newspaper and can do whatever you want."
Ying He nodded in approval and said, "I am also planning to save money. When I have money, I think I will open a cloth shop."
Ying Buhuan chuckled and said, "I want to make a sharper sword!"
Yao Xia said, "I want to open a clinic, just like the Women's Newspaper, that only serves women."
Jiang Chun said, "I want to open a private school in the future to teach more girls how to read and write."
Ren Lanyue said: "I will continue to be a reporter in the future and report everything!"
……
After everyone finished speaking, Ji Pingyue pondered for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "I want to be the county magistrate."
Ji Bujin asked with a smile, "Why does Anu want to be a county magistrate?"
Ji Pingyue said, "Because, because I know that there must be many people in this world who have suffered as much as my mother did. I have thought for a long time that if I were the county magistrate, I would not let these evil people go."
"Wow!" Several people at the table were shocked by Ji Pingyue's idea and couldn't help but sigh out loud.
Ying Buhuan exclaimed in admiration, "Sister, your ideal is too brave. No, no, it's too cowardly for me to just want a long sword. Then I want to fight in the battlefield and defend my country. How about that?"
After saying this, she looked around at everyone proudly, as if asking for praise.
Ying Hele touched Ying Buhuan's head and said, "Our Anu is really promising."
Ren Lanyue held her chin with both hands and said with emotion, "It's great to have money. I have my own money now and can spend it however I want! I no longer have to go to great lengths to please Aye and ask him to give me more pocket money."
Ren Baozhi nodded in agreement: "Yes, when a woman has her own career, her horizons are no longer limited to the walls of her home. She no longer needs to admire those successful men, because she can achieve success and fame on her own."
Ren Lanyue clenched her fist and said, "When we make a lot of money in the future, we will leave it only to our daughter! Not to those stinky men!"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed. "Yue'er is right! The money we women earn should only be spent by women!"
Ren Lanyue ate three big bowls of rice for the first time today. The reason was nothing to do with her, but because she was having too much fun chatting!
The women gathered at the table, talking about their careers, their future, and the seemingly unattainable career paths in government.
Their topics no longer revolve around men, they no longer talk about how to win men's favor, and they no longer feel anxious about not being thin enough, not being weak enough, or having minor blemishes on their faces.
It turns out that simply chatting about yourself is enough to make people happy!
She must tell her mother about the new ideas she learned today when she gets home. Her mother will definitely be very happy!
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they set off for Suzaku Street without delay.
When we arrived at Zhuque Street, we saw crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder. It seemed that there were quite a few people joining in the fun.
This afternoon, Ruan Ruan Khan of the Eastern Turks will personally go to Kyoto to meet Li Yaozu, intending to establish friendly relations with Wu Zhou.
Of course, Ren Baozhi came to see Ruan Ruan Khan today not for any national affairs, which were not her turn to worry about. She was just purely curious about what the Turks looked like.
Especially that Ruan Ruan Khan. His father was already in his seventies, but he still wanted to marry the seven-year-old Li Qixi as his concubine. He was really shameless and wanted to take the young girl as his concubine.
I wonder if the man under his knees is as shameless as him.
After waiting for a long time, Ren Baozhi finally saw Ruan Ruan Khan sitting astride a Turkic horse.
He was short and tall, wearing a colorful Hu suit with a large lapel, a golden crown on his head, and was riding in the lead.
The thick beard grew upward like weeds, connecting with the long curly hair and surrounding the large, square face.
The flat nose in the middle of the face occupies an advantageous position, and the rest of the facial features can only bow their heads timidly.
Ren Baozhi covered her eyes with one hand: My eyes! My eyes!
It was her fault for coming to see Khan.
Isn’t it said that the common nomadic people are brave and powerful?
Oh my god, it turns out to be You Meng Wei Wu.
Wu Wencang and Li Yaozu had been waiting in the Xuanzheng Hall for a long time, and the ministers also stood solemnly in the court.
Suddenly, a shrill voice was heard from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Ruan Ruan Khan has arrived outside the palace."
Li Yaozu raised his hand and gestured, "Please invite Ruan Ruan Khan in."
The shrill voice rang out again: "Your Majesty has ordered that Khan Ruan Ruan be invited into the palace!"
Ruan Ruan Khan led the envoys behind him, walked up the long steps, entered the hall, and saluted Li Yaozu according to Turkic etiquette.
Li Yaozu raised his hand and said, "Khan, please stand up."
When Ruan Ruan Khan stood up, Li Yaozu praised him again: "I have heard for a long time that Ruan Ruan Khan is a woman of great talent. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed worthy of her reputation."
Ruan Ruan Khan said modestly, "I appreciate your praise, Your Majesty."
"The Khan has come from afar, so there is no need for formalities. Come, please take a seat."
Two young eunuchs brought a chair for Ruan Ruan Khan to sit on, and Wang Youfu personally served Ruan Ruan Khan a cup of tea.
Li Yaozu said with emotion: "The two countries have been at war for years, and the people have suffered terribly. Now that Ruan Ruan Khan has come to negotiate peace, this is heaven's will and the will of the people. It is truly worth celebrating."
Ruan Ruan Khan handed the teacup to the waiter beside him, stood up, and bowed, saying, "I have come here this time only to wish that from now on, we will form a permanent alliance with Wu Zhou and never again engage in war."
"Excellent!" Li Yaozu was delighted. "I will definitely remember this agreement. May our two countries enjoy everlasting peace and never again suffer the scourge of war! I have already sent someone to prepare a dinner, and the Khan must attend."
After meeting Ruan Ruan Khan, Ren Baozhi rode his horse and strolled around the city to refresh his eyes by looking at the colorful flowers and willows.
Well, she didn't go riding just to relax her eyes, she had something else in her mind.
Today is my birthday and also Si Jiangchou's birthday.
Everyone gathered together to celebrate her birthday, but on Si Jiangchou's birthday, her virginity had to be auctioned off to everyone.
She was already 90% certain that Si Jiangchou was the man in black. The only thing that had not been confirmed was that she had never seen the man in black's true face.
As long as she didn't see the face under the mask of the man in black, the idea that Si Jiangchou and the man in black were the same person would ultimately be just a guess.
Ren Baozhi was filled with sorrow and annoyance. The words Si Jiangchou had said to her before kept coming to her mind: "Will you come on the day Chou'er comes of age?"
Will she go?
