After being kicked out of the wealthy family, her ancestor shocked the world

When talking about the word "sense of security", Chu Peining curled the corners of her lips, and in Ji Qingzhi's eyes, her face was filled with a happy smile.

This is how she went through it all, and Ji Qingzhi also had a general idea of ​​her mood.

I was afraid that the little girl would blush, so I didn't expose her.

"I'm here to pick up the perfume I ordered. Since I met you, I'll treat you to a meal." Ji Qingzhi glanced at Yun Sui and Zou Tong who were playing around and asked, "How about asking your friends to come along?"

Chu Peining looked over and said, "We need to ask their opinions on this."

"Then you go and ask. I'll go in and get my perfume first." Ji Qingzhi let go of her and walked straight into the store.

Chu Peining went to look for Zou Tong and Yun Sui. Before she even got close, she heard her ask in confusion, "Are you still learning the guqin?"

Chu Peining nodded and said vaguely: "To cultivate one's sentiments."

Zou Tong thought about it and felt that it made sense: "That's right. After all, you are going to marry into a wealthy family in the future, so you should cultivate your temperament in advance."

Chu Peining: “…”

Zou Tong continued, "But most people would choose the piano. You are special. You want to learn the guqin."

It’s not that she doesn’t think highly of this instrument, but traditional musical instruments are indeed not as popular as Western instruments in modern times, and the more active one is the guzheng.

But nowadays, many people don’t even know the difference between Guzheng and Guqin, and some even think they are the same instrument.

Chu Peining felt very sorry about this.

Thousands of years ago, China was still the most prosperous dynasty in the world, sending envoys from afar just to make friends with them and learn their advanced technology.

At that time, foreign trade was still tribute trade. The country rewarded overseas countries to promote its national prestige and attract all nations to come to China. They respected China as their lord and paid tribute every year.

Even though this trade situation increased the government's financial burden, with more trade than payable and compensation paid at a higher price, and political purposes outweighed economic purposes, China at that time was fully able to afford it.

It is a pity that since modern times, it has gradually declined, and the drawbacks of agricultural society have also become apparent.

The solid existence of the natural economy became an important reason for the slow development and long-term continuation of feudal society.

The policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce since ancient times has seriously hindered the development of the commodity economy. The self-sufficient small peasant economy based on the family unit, with men farming and women weaving, can no longer adapt to social needs.

Whether science and technology can produce huge economic and social benefits depends on the social environment.

In ancient China, the educational content was mainly based on Confucianism, and the exploration of nature was not fully reflected. Inventions and discoveries came from long-term accumulation of experience, and it emphasized experience, synthesis, practicality, and agriculture.

It was ahead of the world in the early days, but as time went by, its drawbacks became increasingly apparent.

After experiencing a series of ideological movements, the West liberated people's minds, promoted the development of science and technology, and emphasized theory, experiments, analysis, and industry.

This is also the reason why Chu Peining's focus shifted to the West after the 18th century.

Two hundred years ago, the world was still dominated by the West being strong and the East being weak. Even though China has made remarkable achievements in many fields, its science and technology has gradually prospered, and it has become a powerful country, there are still many people who worship foreign things.

Take musical instruments for example. Most people think that Western instruments are more elegant and more graceful to play, but they still have a prejudice against local instruments as rustic and backward.

Chu Peining wanted to promote the music of Yuefu, but the thoughts of modern people really disappointed her.

The development of the world is destined. Over the long years, there will always be some skills and crafts that disappear in the long river of history.

She had been away for two hundred years and had missed a lot.

It was impossible to guide people to adapt to the historical process as quickly as possible at that time, and it is impossible to change it now. We can only change their thinking subtly.

But now, her power is still too weak.

"My master wants to treat us to a meal, do you want to go?" Chu Peining asked.

"Let's go, of course!" Zou Tong got excited when he heard about food, "What are we going to eat?"

Chu Peining shook her head: "I don't know, wait until she comes out and ask."

As they were talking, someone came out of the store. It was the mother and daughter of the Mu family.

Zou Tong subconsciously kept silent and stepped back.

Mu Yeliu noticed Chu Peining and couldn't help but stop and look at her twice, but he was still suspicious.

But she had been kicked out of the Mu family and even her survival was a problem, so how could she come to shop in a luxury store?

Mu Yeliu shook his head, thinking that he was too suspicious.

Ji Qingzhi came out in a hurry with perfume and shouted to Chu Peining, "Ningning, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Ning Ning?

Hearing this name, Mu Yeliu was suddenly stunned, stopped and looked back.

She didn’t know if it was a psychological effect or something, but the more she looked at the girl, the more she felt that she was similar to the timid Chu Peining she met ten years ago.

Mu Yeliu pursed her lips, finally made up her mind, and walked forward to stand in front of Chu Peining.

When Zou Tong saw her coming, he immediately became nervous and tugged at Yun Sui's sleeve.

Yun Sui knew what she meant and was ready to protect Chu Peining.

This Mu family member did not mock Chu Peining with cold words, but just asked: "Are you Chu Peining?"

Zou Tong took a quick step and stood between the two of them, saying in a savage tone: "Who she is has nothing to do with you?"

No one in the Mu family is a good person.

So what if the situation is miserable? Can it be as miserable as the little sister?

If she hadn't met a rich sponsor, Zou Tong couldn't imagine how an underage girl like her would survive without any support.

Chu Peining patted her shoulder gently, comforting her, turned sideways and walked around her from behind, looked at Mu Yeliu quietly, and greeted her: "Long time no see."

This unexpected plot development surprised everyone.

Mu Yeliu also didn't expect that after she was abused and tortured in the Mu family, she could still talk to her so calmly and even show kindness to her.

She smiled softly and said, "Long time no see."

"I heard that you were kicked out, so why are you here?" Mu Yeliu frowned, very confused.

Their family's power was gradually taken away, and they did not have much contact with the Mu family's eldest branch, so they were unaware of the changes that had taken place in Chu Peining during this period.

Chu Peining explained in a slow tone: "I was lucky to meet a kind person who was willing to support me."

He took out a huge sum of money, $500,000, right away. He is not a good man.

This description made Ji Qingzhi, who was unaware of the situation, laugh.

Zou Tong's caution towards Mu Yeliu gradually faded, but he still looked at her with vigilance.

"Good person?" Mu Yeliu still didn't understand.

With Chu Peining's fame in Haicheng, how could anyone support her regardless of her reputation?

She wanted to ask more, but Madam Mu Er called her, "Xiao Liu, we should go."

Mu Yeliu was no longer obsessed.

She and Chu Peining had only met a few times and were not familiar with each other, so there was no need for them to know each other so well.

Out of politeness, he informed Chu Peining and walked towards Madam Mu Er.
