Wen Jin's tone and steps seemed particularly brisk.
"Send a message to Yu'er and tell her that we are all fine and we are out traveling in the mountains and rivers. Don't think about it!"
Wen Jin said, walking down the mountain with light and agile steps.
Xiao Yuchen quickly sent a message to his children and told them that there was no need to worry about their "two elders". They were doing very well now...the problems were all solved.
"Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!" Xiao Yuchen quickly chased after Wen Jin.
The two of them came to the road at the foot of the mountain, and there were more and more people coming and going.
There are tourists like them, people who come to burn incense and pray for blessings, and some people who carry burdens and do small businesses.
Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but sigh again... Jin'er paid a huge price, but I'm afraid she will be disappointed!
Isn’t this world still like this?
At least, he didn't notice any changes.
But Xiao Yuchen soon discovered...he might be wrong!
There are still changes!
For example, when they wanted to enter the front yard of the Emei Sect and visit the Taoist temple, the little Taoist nuns standing outside the Taoist temple were respectful to Wen Jin, greeted them with smiles, and were very enthusiastic.
He ignored him and was cold and indifferent... Xiao Yuchen suddenly missed those young people just now - at least they politely called him "little husband".
And these little Taoist nuns seemed unable to see such a big man like him!
"Please, madam! The path will lead you. Do you want to burn incense, light lamps, pray for blessings, ask for Taoist talismans, or tell fortunes? Or do you want to ward off evil spirits at home?"
The little Taoist nun followed Wen Jin respectfully. Her young face was full of respect, but she didn't seem overly humble. In short, she made people feel very comfortable.
It's just that Xiao Yuchen doesn't feel very comfortable...
He was born into an emperor's family, and he himself was an emperor for many years, and now his son is also an emperor...
It was the first time in my life to be ignored like this! Just... not used to it.
He cleared his throat sharply.
The little Taoist nun "didn't hear" at all, and only talked to Wen Jin eagerly, "Oh, you just want to take a look around? Okay, okay, we are not busy now and there is no shortage of people, but do you want the Taoist priest to show you around?"
Wen Jin touched her body but couldn't find her purse... By the way, she was used to putting her things in the space.
Now that the space is gone, so is her inventory.
Wen Jin smiled, took off a white jade hairpin from his head, and handed it to the little Taoist nun, "Thank you, but no, we can just walk by ourselves."
"No, no! You're too polite!" The little Taoist nun's face turned red and she quickly pushed Wen Jin's gift back. "Walking with you, the path is like a spring breeze. You have an elder's aura of wisdom in your body, and the path has already been stained. Your gift has been taken away, and accepting your gift again will not be good for the practice of the path! Thank you very much! Please take it back! Just take your time and see if you need anything, just call us!"
The little Taoist nun cupped her hands, took two steps back with a sweet smile, then turned and left.
"Tsk...isn't this difference in treatment too obvious?" Xiao Yuchen complained softly.
Wen Jin thought that once upon a time, women had always been treated differently - they obeyed their fathers at home, their husbands when married, and their sons after their husbands died. Let alone being respected, a woman can't even be considered an "independent person"... Now that she can be treated like this, she can be considered proud.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Wen Jin looked at Xiao Yuchen, "Just get used to it."
Xiao Yuchen shook his head, "Because this is a Taoist temple of the Emei Sect, it is like this. It would never be like this in other places!"
"Moreover, you are now awe-inspiring regardless of your temperament and appearance. That's why they would treat you like this. If it were another woman..."
Before Xiao Yuchen finished speaking, he saw another little Taoist nun leading a group of women passing by.
Behind the group of women, there were several men who were about the same age as him in appearance and appearance.
The little Taoist nun was as enthusiastic, polite and courteous to the women in this group as she was to Wen Jin. He is much more indifferent towards men.
Since childhood, I have seen many women treat men with respect and flattery, whether at home or outside... Xiao Yuchen was quite surprised and uncomfortable by this picture.
"this……"
Wen Jin met his suspicious and shocked gaze, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Who says nothing has changed? Who said her attempt failed?
"This is just a coincidence!" Xiao Yuchen didn't know whether he was trying to convince Wen Jin or himself.
He strode ahead, following the group of people in front of him at a not too far distance.
The men in the group also noticed him.
While Xiao Yuchen was sizing them up, they were also sizing up Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin behind him.
When their eyes came into contact with Wen Jin, they couldn't help but be in awe.
When he looked at Xiao Yuchen again... tsk, with a bit of contempt and disgust.
Xiao Yuchen: "...What's going on?"
Xiao Yuchen had never experienced such "treatment". He was unhappy and curious. He took a few steps to catch up with the group of men in front of him.
Before he could speak, some of the people in the group who looked younger than him quickened their pace, as if they didn't want to have anything to do with him, and hurriedly avoided him.
There were two men of similar age to him, looking at him with stern eyes and disapproval.
Xiao Yuchen cleared his throat and said, "We are strangers to each other. We met by chance. Why do I see that you guys are looking at me in such a bad way? Is it because I'm being careless, or..."
"Brother, you don't have to worry about it. We really can't stand what you're doing!" Among the two men, the one dressed in white is the straight one.
Before Xiao Yuchen could finish asking, he cupped his hands and said, "That lady is older and has extraordinary bearing. Women are the embodiment of wisdom. They are different from reckless men like us. How can you walk in front of that wise lady? There is no humility. Heart?"
Xiao Yuchen: "...!"
He looked at the man in front of him in shock, and then looked back at Wen Jin.
Is this the little world he lives in?
Wen Jin looked back at him with a smile.
"We met by chance. Brother asked, so I said this more. Brother, please take care of yourself." The two of them handed over and left.
Xiao Yuchen was greatly shocked and couldn't believe it.
Wen Jin stepped forward slowly, "How was your experience?"
Xiao Yuchen frowned, "It's unbelievable, and... unhappy, very unhappy."
"You feel unhappy, but women have lived for thousands of years in even more 'unpleasant' and unfair treatment than this." Wen Jin's expression dimmed.
Xiao Yuchen looked at her intently, "I know you sympathize with them... but this is Mount Emei Taoist Temple. If you leave here, the outside world may not have such earth-shaking changes."
Wen Jin shook his head, "You are wrong. I am not pitying them... I am them."
Xiao Yuchen was slightly stunned.
Wen Jin strode forward.
Xiao Yuchen quickly caught up with him. He was about to walk half a step ahead of Wen Jin as he was accustomed to... and he immediately felt unkind looks from all directions.
Even as strong as he is, he still feels pressured by the many reproachful eyes.
Understood!
He seems to be able to understand the pressure that those women in the past who wanted to fight for their rights, who were obviously capable, could only suffer from worldly oppression and lost their talent and personality.
Xiao Yuchen raised his eyes and looked at Wen Jin's back... He could finally understand the burning feeling in her heart, her persistence in this matter, and the reason why she had to do this!
If such a big change had not occurred suddenly, Xiao Yuchen felt that he would never have such a profound understanding of "male privilege" in probably ten lifetimes.
He was about to tell Wen Jin how he felt.
But he saw a person suddenly jump out in front of him, blocking Wen Jin's path.
