"We are going to study! This girls' school was built by the Queen! You can't seal it!"
"If we don't have a teacher, we will learn on our own!"
The girl had tears in her eyes, but her tone was firm.
"You don't understand people, do you?" The officers and soldiers raised their whips and whipped them.
Wen Jin stepped forward.
But someone moved faster than her.
Xiao Yuchen kicked the officer and soldier in the leg.
The officers and soldiers knelt down.
"Who? Anyone who dares to attack the government! Don't want to live anymore?!" The officers and soldiers got up from the ground and shouted.
But I saw Xiao Yuchen holding the child with a dark face. Although he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his terrifying aura could not be concealed by the coarse clothes.
The officers and soldiers took two steps back, "Who are you? Dare you interfere in government affairs?"
Xiao Yuchen said solemnly, "Don't you have a daughter? Don't you have any sisters at home? Isn't it very majestic for a seven-foot-tall man to beat a few defenseless little girls with a long whip?"
Several officers and soldiers looked him up and down and murmured, "Don't look at him for ordinary people. Look at his temperament. I'm afraid he's a high-ranking official. Please explain to him quickly and let him go."
The officers and soldiers didn't want to cause trouble.
Xiao Yuchen's family of three seemed to be in big trouble.
The officers and soldiers put down their whips and cupped their hands, "My lord, to tell you the truth, this is an order from the emperor. The emperor issued an imperial edict to close down all female schools in Daliang and not to hire female accountants, female clerks, etc. In short, Even women who want to be in the public eye should return to their families and support their husbands and children..."
Under the scorching gazes of Wen Jin and his daughter... Xiao Yuchen's chest rose and fell, his face tensed, and his ears felt hot.
"The emperor ordered the closure of the female school, but he didn't ask you to beat people! Don't blame the emperor for any mistakes!" Xiao Yuchen said angrily.
The officers and soldiers said helplessly, "They didn't listen to advice! They were told to go home and refused to come back! They put a seal on the girls' school, but they tore off the seals on the yamen!"
"After imprisoning the female gentlemen, they gathered together to study on their own! If they had listened to the advice, they wouldn't have taken action today!"
Xiao Yuchen's brows knitted into knots and he looked at the group of female students suspiciously.
"So studious?" he asked hesitantly.
The female student blessed the family of three.
"Sir, you also have a daughter, but you have a good family background, so you may not understand... The daughters of ordinary people like us want to live with dignity...
"Being able to study and be able to support yourself in the future is the only way out!"
"My sister-in-law next door is kind and generous, diligent and studious. When she was able to go to school, she studied very well and could read quickly.
"The rewards she gets for literacy are enough to feed her family! She gets scholarships every semester.
"At that time, my mother-in-law treated her well and helped her take care of the children. The men were also polite and gentle when talking to her. She was the most decent woman in our place!"
The girl said loudly, her eyes turning red.
"But she was driven home a few days ago, and she was beaten yesterday! She secretly read a book and was going to be beaten. The child cried and said that she didn't watch the child well and was going to be beaten!
"When my parents-in-law got into trouble, she was going to be beaten. Even if she was slow to light the fire and cook, she was beaten severely. She was told that she was too lazy to eat. It was all because of studying...
"She said she has no life as a young lady, and she has a young lady's disease from studying!
"Ha! Isn't it because his man feels that he is not as good as her these years and is being laughed at?
"Now women are ordered to go home to support their husbands and raise children, and are not allowed to go out. They no longer have the right to go out to study and earn money, and even their dignity is gone!"
The girls' eyes were red and tears were falling down.
But they stood together, backs straight, holding hands.
"Rather than be locked up at home, cowardly, and die without dignity!"
"We would rather stand here! Fight until we die!"
I have read books, seen what freedom looks like, and experienced girls who are respected...
It's like being given wings, trying to spread your wings and flying, and having the ambition of a swan.
How could they be willing to have their wings broken and put in a chicken coop?
Wen Jin and Yue'er didn't say anything, their eyes were like arrows, staring at Xiao Yuchen.
Xiao Yuchen frowned, "I... let's go back to Kyoto. Let's go back to Kyoto quickly."
Yue'er hugged his neck and asked in a low voice, "Does daddy want to go back to Kyoto and take back his life?"
Xiao Yuchen took a deep breath, looked at Wen Jin, and said nothing.
"Back in Kyoto, back above the temples, you can't see the suffering of the people, you can't see the people living at the bottom... Will you forget their hardships?" Wen Jin also asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yuchen looked away, "I said...go back to Kyoto first. If you haven't returned to Kyoto, anything you say now is empty talk."
Xiao Yuchen squeezed out of the crowd.
Wen Jin said behind him, "If you want your words to be true, you can write a handwritten edict, find a flying eagle, and send a letter to various government offices to abolish the previous edict."
"There is no flying eagle now, and I don't have the jade seal with me. How can I make them believe that it is my handwriting?" Xiao Yuchen lowered his eyes and said, "I can only go back to Kyoto first."
Wen Jin looked back at the group of girls.
She came to them again and said, "A single spark can start a prairie fire! Those who persevere to the end will surely win."
The girls' eyes lit up and they nodded heavily.
The girls' firm gazes warmed her heart.
Wen Jin knew that their struggle was meaningful!
It is these groups of unyielding girls that make her believe that all her persistence and struggle are meaningful!
The power of women is already awakening. They will not be brainwashed and shackled generation after generation.
Women, your gender is glory and beauty, and it has never been an inferior "second gender".
Wen Jin said to several officers and soldiers, "This edict will definitely be changed. Please don't embarrass girls. After all, women may also become your top leaders in the future. Leave room for others, and leave room for yourself."
The girls heard this and nodded repeatedly, "The Queen will definitely fight this matter to the end, and she will convince the Emperor to take back his life!"
When the women said this, they were extremely firm, with absolute trust in their eyes.
Wen Jin suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was extremely important and could not be shied away from.
This is just the outskirts of a small city, but there are so many girls who trust her.
Looking at the whole beam, how many girls should be holding on to their faith and waiting for her?
Wen Jin nodded heavily, "Yes, she won't let you down."
"What if it can't be done?" Several officers and soldiers frowned.
Wen Jin looked directly at the officers and soldiers and said, "There is no revolution that does not require bloodshed and sacrifice. Even the queen in the palace must be prepared to risk her life."
Her momentum made the officers and soldiers take a step back.
Being intimidated by a woman makes them feel embarrassed.
"Come on! Capture her!" the officers and soldiers shouted, "She is inciting the women to cause trouble!"
The officers and soldiers rushed forward to capture Wen Jin.
Xiao Yuchen stepped forward and handed Yue'er to her.
He responded with fists and started fighting with the officers and soldiers.
"Dad is angry," Yue'er hugged Wen Jin's neck and whispered, "Dad said that Aniang was deliberately delaying time."
Wen Jin shook his head, "I'm not stalling for time, I'm waiting for him... waiting for him to make a new choice."
Xiao Yuchen didn't strike too hard this time. After subduing a few people, he took them aside to talk...
