I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"No? Isn't that what they say about the unpredictable world?" Lin Jin asked back. She knew Fang Yuzhu was persuaded. "It is said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. What if the princess is let down at that time?"

Fang Yuzhu held the handkerchief tightly and said, "It can only be said that it is fate, no one can be blamed."

"How can I not blame others? I can!"

Fang Yuzhu was stunned: "Who do you blame?"

"Blame yourself!" Lin Jin said very logically.

"Blame me?" Fang Yuzhu didn't understand how she could be blamed. Should she blame her for being blind?

Lin Jin smiled pretentiously: "Of course, I blame you, Princess. You blame yourself for not fighting for anything. If you were not trapped in the inner house, and seized the opportunity to climb the ladder to heaven that His Majesty built for women all over the world, you would not have to suffer even if you married high. When your husband scolded you for being a womanizer, you could just stand up and say that you are not inferior to him. But if you gave up this ladder, it would be different. You can only manage the inner house. No matter how well you do, you still have a husband."

Fang Yuzhu covered her chest with her hands, her eyes twisted and she was wondering whether what Lin Jin said was true.

"Princess, you might as well think about it carefully. Do you really want to become someone's wife in the future, or would you rather be your own person? His Majesty has clearly given women in the world another choice, so why don't you dare to leave?"

"Now the one who is protecting women is the emperor, the ruler of the world. What do you have to fear? You were born noble, so why do you have to become a caged bird trapped in the inner house after you grow up?"

"Princess, men all know that they must hold power in their own hands so that they won't be manipulated by others. Why should women willingly hand over their lives to others?"

"A man born in a poor family will one day be made a marquis and become a prime minister. Now the real teacher behind the women's academy is a doctor from the Imperial College. Why can't you do what the men can do? Is it because you are a woman?"

Lin Jin has always believed that women are important and tenacious no matter what era they are in, whether it is the ancient times when people were oppressed by feudal constraints, or the modern times when people still have prejudices against women even though all flowers bloom in the future. In every era, there will be an awakening of female consciousness, which has been maintained for thousands of years to allow women's will to survive and prevent women from dying completely in those dark corners.

Even though their original consciousness was not difficult to shake the entire era, they were still stars in the dark world of women. They were seeds buried deep in the soil of the feudal system, but one day they would sprout, break through the soil, grow into towering trees, and then drop more seeds, over and over again.

Fang Yuzhu's hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly, but she did not answer Lin Jin's words. However, the other hand that was stroking the tabby cat's fur stopped.

Lin Jin felt that she had said almost everything, and the rest could only be left for Fang Yuzhu to think about. She bowed to Fang Yuzhu and said, "Since the princess is thinking about something, I will not disturb you. Lin Liu will take his leave."

Lin Jin picked up Shi Nian, who was waiting impatiently and rubbing her frantically, rubbed her, smiled and nodded at Fang Yuzhu, and then left this small place.

She knew that it was not easy for Fang Yuzhu to listen to her say so much. Even if Fang Yuzhu was still the same as before, she didn't think there was anything wrong. Everyone had their own choices. The ideas of this era had already been deeply rooted. His Majesty and Song Shiqiu appeared too late.

All things are difficult at the beginning, not to mention that this matter itself has shaken the rights and status of men. It is really good that Your Majesty and Song Shiqiu can achieve this. After all, this is not only facing feudal ideas, but also the rights of men in the world. Throughout history, few emperors are willing, and even fewer dare to make such a reform that is condemned by the world.

Reform requires bloodshed and sacrifice, and they are risking their lives to open up a new path for women.

Lin Jin sighed, feeling more and more that the setting that Song Shiqiu was the main villain was really unfair to Song Shiqiu. If such a person was the villain, there would be very few good people in the world, and he would be the villain of the whole book.

"Nian'er, I feel a little sorry for the adults." Lin Jin curled her lips. To some extent, Song Shiqiu was really beautiful, strong and miserable.

"Ahh!" Shi Nian was still angry about Lin Jin identifying the wrong cat. She curled up in Lin Jin's arms without saying a word, only moving her ears.

"Let's go, let's go find the master and ask him if he can let Chunzao get some more things." Lin Jin said, feeling a little ashamed for treating Chunzao as a 'prop ATM'. "Should I give her some compensation?"

It doesn’t seem right to always ask for things for free. I just don’t know what this little friend likes.

"Ahhh!" Shi Nian became even angrier because Lin Jin didn't even compensate him.

Lin Jin smiled and pinched Shi Nian's ear: "I'll make you something delicious later, don't be angry."

Only then did Shi Nian turn over in Lin Jin's arms feeling aggrieved.

Lin Jin carried Shi Nian to Song Shiqiu's study, but Shi Nian saw Song Shiqiu's desk as if it was a toy. She kicked her hind legs in Lin Jin's arms and jumped directly to Song Shiqiu's desk, messing up the documents on the desk.

Lin Jin & Song Shiqiu: "..."

Lin Jin felt that her heart was about to stop beating. She didn't expect Shi Nian to get into trouble as soon as she came here. Is it too late for her to regret now? She really didn't know it would turn out like this.

"Aoao!" Shi Nian called out to Lin Jin twice, with the corners of his mouth curved as if he was smiling, inviting Lin Jin to see the picture he had drawn.

Lin Jin really wanted to die.

Stop yelling, ancestor. Are you afraid that Song Shiqiu won’t peel off your skin and make a scarf?

"Sir, this... is an accident." Lin Jin quickly hugged Shi Nian back to protect her in her arms before Song Shiqiu could make a move, and smiled awkwardly, "Is this important? Can I copy it for you again? If not, is there any other way to remedy it?"

The kitten is not sensible. What can a kitten that is less than one year old understand?

Song Shiqiu looked at Shi Nian: "Nian'er."

"Sir, don't be angry first. Now that things have happened, getting angry won't help. The most important thing is that we find a way to solve the problem first. Nian'er is just a cat and can't help with anything. Sir, what do you want me to do? I can do it!" Lin Jin finished speaking very quickly, backing away as he spoke, for fear that Song Shiqiu would come up and snatch the cat.

Song Shiqiu glanced at Lin Jin helplessly and threw the document to Heng Mu: "Have someone send a new one over, and have someone clean up this place."

Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, as long as it wasn't some document like the college entrance examination file. However, when Song Shiqiu saw it, she couldn't help but stand up straighter.

It seemed like she had protected this brat again, and both times he had broken Song Shiqiu's things.

Oh no, a repeat offender.

"Why did you come to see me?" Song Shiqiu went to the basin next to him to wash the ink that was accidentally stained on his hands. He didn't intend to continue to be distracted by this matter.

Lin Jin almost forgot: "Can you ask Chunzao if she can get a solar powered dryer instead? If she doesn't have a dryer, a heater will do."

Although a brazier can be used, it produces too much smoke and dust, so it is not a very good choice. It is only a helpless choice on rainy days.

"Okay." Song Shiqiu nodded and wiped his hands, "Anything else?"

"Yes, Shangshan Hall has collected a lot of common medicinal herbs, and it would be a bit of a waste if they were all piled up in the hall and not used. Otherwise, we could let the doctors and apprentices in Shangshan Hall use those herbs where needed. They can use them to soak their feet, take a bath, make tea, etc. Just think of it as an employee benefit." Since keeping them would just take up space, it would be better to give them out as a favor. Shangshan Hall doesn't lack those herbs, but there are people who need them.

"Employee benefits?" Song Shiqiu was stunned.

"It means that in addition to what they earn from their labor, we at the charity hall give them some benefits. However, as for how to set the rules, I think it's up to you adults to decide. I can provide ideas and suggestions, but it's more thoughtful for you adults to draft the actual rules."

Song Shiqiu nodded indifferently: "Today Chunzao brought out something called a grenade."
