Chapter 47: All created equal
All this seems peaceful and peaceful, but Xi Xingchen, a 985 college student, knows very well that the current situation of the Dayan Dynasty is very similar to that of the Qing Dynasty in his previous life. This apparent tranquility is actually just a short-term tranquility before the storm.
Youdao knows the whole picture at a glance. In the eyes of others, this small steamer is just an ordinary means of transportation.
But in Xi Xingchen's eyes, this small steamer with only one chimney actually marked the coming of a new era.
The coming of a new great era also means the end of an old great era.
The curtain call of an old era is destined to be filled with smoke and blood.
As a member of all sentient beings, whether you are willing or not, you have to rise and fall in the huge waves. Whether you become a trend-setter of the times or be drowned by the huge waves is all determined by destiny.
By then, that magnificent tsunami will sweep across the entire southern Xinjiang continent and even the entire world.
By then, talents will emerge in large numbers and stars will shine.
Xi Xingchen seemed to see a strong stag already appearing in people's field of vision.
Heroes from all over the world let go of their horses' hooves, drew their bows and arrows, and began a vigorous battle for the deer!
"Brother Chen, what are you thinking about? So obsessed." Duan Zhenghua came over and put his arm around Xi Xingchen's shoulders affectionately.
The whistle sounded, and the small steamer pulled the passenger ship slowly out of the pier.
As the boat sails on the river, the breeze blows and the river flows like silk; the green hills on both sides are undulating and continuous; the villages in the distance are quiet, which makes people feel that the boat is walking on the river and the people are swimming in the middle of the painting.
Xi Xingchen's heartstrings seemed to be plucked by some supreme being, and a poem that had been passed down for thousands of years blurted out: "Where is the country gate at dusk? The misty waves on the river make people sad."
"Hey, are you homesick?" Duan Zhenghua joked.
Xi Xingchen smiled and said, "It's not like you don't know that I am an orphan picked up by Master. For me, the Mo family is my home."
"Brother Chen asked about the future." Zhou Qiaoqian said with a considerate smile.
Xi Xingchen smiled noncommittally and said, "I want to ask you a question, what are your plans for the future?"
As soon as Xi Xingchen finished speaking, Duan Zhenghua took a step forward and said seriously: "When you are born like an ant, you should have the ambition to be a swan. Your life is as thin as paper, and you should have an unyielding heart. How can a man be born in the world and live in depression for a long time? Next. Use your dreams as a horse and live up to your youth..."
"Young Master Hua, I'm sore." Jin Bo reached out and made a stop gesture, looking at Duan Zhenghua with contempt.
Duan Zhenghua touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "It's a bit."
Duan Zhenghua did such an embarrassing thing with indescribable calmness and ease.
Xi Xingchen had to believe that there were indeed people in this world who were born free and easy.
"Master Jin, what are your views on the future?" Xi Xingchen asked Jin Bodao.
"I don't have high opinions, but I have some low opinions." Jin Bo puffed out his chest and said seriously.
"Then let's all listen to Lord Jin's disdain." Duan Zhenghua laughed.
It's funny. Jin Bo, who was 1.9 meters tall, suddenly became coquettish. He chuckled and said, "I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to be a rich man in this life. After a while, I'll go to bed." Just sleep until you wake up naturally, count money until your hands cramp, and live a depraved life."
"Is this still low opinion? It couldn't be higher." Duan Zhenghua said exaggeratedly.
"You are really my idol." Xi Xingchen couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Idol! What do you mean?" Zhou Qiaoqian asked curiously.
"It's the object of vomiting. It's called the vomiting image for short." Seeing Zhou Qiaoqian looking at him curiously, Xi Xingchen quickly explained.
"Of course, this is just a small goal in the initial stage of my life." Jin Bo said seriously when he saw that Xi Xingchen and the others despised his great ideal.
"Master Jin, I have to admit that you have successfully aroused my curiosity." Duan Zhenghua said.
"Then what is your big goal?" Zhou Qiaoqian also asked curiously.
"It's not a goal, it's a dream!" Jin Bo corrected.
"So, Mr. Jin, what is your biggest dream?" Zhou Qiaoqian suddenly laughed angrily.
Jin Bo waved his hand, with a hint of pointing the country: "My biggest dream is to marry ten daughters-in-law who are as beautiful as Qiaoqian's sister, and have a litter of children. By then, I can pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and see the Nanshan Mountain leisurely. ;Wine and song, life geometry……"
"Hey! You are indeed my vomiting image, the object of vomiting!" Zhou Qiaoqian wrinkled her delicate little nose and waved her jade hand in front of her nose.
Xi Xingchen looked at the cute and cute girl and asked with a smile: "Sister Qiaoqian, what is your ideal in life?"
"Me!" Zhou Qiaoqian's eyes suddenly curved into crescent shapes, and a blush flew onto her pretty face.
Duan Zhenghua looked at Zhou Qiaoqian with wide eyes and said, "Sister Qiaoqian, don't you have the same ideal as our Mr. Jin? You want to find a handsome and rich man, such as a good husband like our Brother Chen, and have a child for five or six years." Seven or eight fat boys..."
Zhou Qiaoqian suddenly blushed with anxiety and stamped her feet: "That's not true!"
"Is it possible that you don't like Brother Chen?"
"of course not!"
"What is that?" Duan Zhenghua asked.
"I want to visit Fenglei Continent."
"What?"
"Because the women of Dayan live too hard." Zhou Qiaoqian put a strand of hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ear and said softly.
"Before you get married, you should take your father as your guide, after you get married, you will take your husband as your guide, and after your husband's death, you will take your son as your guide, and you will not live a single day for yourself."
“I feel like the world shouldn’t be like this, but I can’t tell how it should be.”
Zhou Qiaoqian raised her head and glanced at the three of them, with a trace of determination in her eyes: "I don't want to live my life like this. If I really want to live like this, I would rather jump into the Yuan River and die in the belly of a fish."
"Later I read in a book that women in Fenglei Continent can do what they want, like the people they like, go out to earn money to support themselves, and live freely according to their own wishes."
"So I want to go there and see how the women there live."
When Zhou Qiaoqian said this, her eyes were bright.
Xi Xingchen looked at Zhou Qiaoqian, whose eyes were confused but full of hope, with a dazed expression.
Because he has a future soul, Xi Xingchen is very clear that the women of Dayan today have been brainwashed by the Confucian thought for thousands of years that women without talent are virtuous. The three obediences and the four virtues have long been rooted in the bones of every woman, but Zhou Qiaoqian It clearly expressed the idea that women should be independent, autonomous and take their destiny into their own hands, which was beyond his expectation.
"Very good!" Xi Xingchen said with a smile.
"Brother Chen, do you think what I said is right?" Zhou Qiaoqian said happily, her beautiful eyes shining with dazzling light.
Xi Xingchen nodded: "All human beings are born equal. This is the innate right of human beings. There should not be distinctions between men and women, high or low."
