Chapter 2565: Gratitude or Hatred...

The carriage rumbled and drove slowly on the spacious official road.

The young lady sat in the carriage and asked Erxi to lift the curtain, then leaned against the carriage and calmly looked at the fields and farmers on the side of the road.

"They are all diligent!"

There was joy in the young lady's voice.

Erxi said: "Sir, since the status of women has been improved, most men dare not be lazy."

Qingtian wanted to make the young lady happy, so he said: "Sir, if it weren't for my father's laziness, I wouldn't have castrated myself and wanted to go to the capital."

The young lady's face gradually turned pale, and she said: "You also have a salary. If you work hard in the future, you can also adopt children. Be good..."

Her voice was weak, and even seemed a little erratic in the sound of horse hooves.

Qingtian said gratefully: "Sir, these are all given to us."

Gratitude is the most basic quality of a person. People who don't know how to be grateful will never have friends in their lives.

Qingtian and Erxi were really grateful to the young lady, so they were willing to take the risk to escort the young lady all the way north.

"I gave it to you... No, Daming gave it to you, and your uncle gave it to you."

The young lady raised her head and thought for a moment, then reached out and touched her hair, saying shyly, "It seems like there are some white hairs."

Erxi leaned over on the horse's back and took a look, saying, "Sir, no, it's still black."

Qingtian also took a look, but saw the white color in the middle of the black.

The young lady took a breath and looked at the fields with nostalgia.

"I used to farm, too. Although it was tiring, I felt at ease."

Her voice gradually became more vigorous, which made Erxi and Qingtian very happy.

"Others will lie to you, but only the land will not lie to you. If there is no natural disaster, then the land will give you as much food as you work hard, which is the fairest."

The rice ears in the field bowed their heads heavily, and a breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of rice.

The young lady said happily: "It's another bumper harvest! The north said it was preparing for a war, so they have to collect grain this year, and these farmers can have more money."

The breeze could not blow the rice ears, but it blew the rice leaves. The gentle sound seemed to the young lady's ears at this moment.

Her complexion became more and more rosy, and her spirit became better and better.

"Help me down to have a look."

Erxi and Qingtian helped her down from the carriage, and then walked into the field together.

The young lady asked the farmers in the field, from how many people were in the family to whether they could afford meat.

Finally, she stood by the road with satisfaction, looked back at the north and said: "I promised my uncle that I would work for the Ming Dynasty for fifty years..."

Her complexion gradually turned pale, and her body began to shake.

Erxi and Qingtian quickly helped her steady, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.

The young lady began to pant, and Erxi was frightened and said: "My lord, let's go back to the carriage."

The young lady shook her head and looked at the north infatuatedly.

"Back then... Lord, I killed my husband and thought I would die, but after seeing Lord, I knew..."

The last blush appeared on her face, and there was more shyness in her eyes.

"I want to go to the capital to see Lord, and tell him..."

The little girl grabbed the arms of the two people around her with both hands, but her voice became weaker and weaker.

Erxi and Qingtian listened with tears in their eyes.

The little girl said in a faint voice: "Tell Lord, I have failed him, less than... fifty... fifty years..."

The horse was neighing, and the sound of crying came from the official road, and the passers-by stopped one after another.

When they saw the woman with her eyes closed...

The carriage returned again.

But there were many silent people following behind.

Mostly women.

The soldiers guarding the city saw the carriage returning and asked in surprise: "Why did Lord Xiaoniang come back again?"

Standing on both sides of the carriage were Erxi and Qingtian.

When they looked up, they were already in tears.

The soldiers subconsciously stood up straight, and the people blocking the city gate began to move aside.

Everyone realized something.

Everyone looked solemn.

The curtain of the carriage was lowered and swayed slightly.

As the curtain swayed, a child saw the little girl lying inside and shouted, "She is sleeping!"

Her mother shook her head, then covered her mouth, tears falling continuously.

"Sir!"

A woman knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

The carriage drove into the city gate, and everyone understood when they saw the familiar carriage coming back again and the two men with tears streaming down their faces.

"Sir..."

Those women knelt on the ground one after another, just like the rice ears with their heads down in the rice fields outside the city.

Those men were stunned.

That woman is dead?

It was she who turned us from the head of the family into men who had to work to be equal to women.

We should hate her...

Countless complicated eyes were looking at the slowly moving carriage.

"Sir..."

When a man knelt on the ground, countless people were looking at him.

A horse galloped until it reached the outside of the governor's office.

Galloping is prohibited in the city. If it happens, it must be a major event or an emergency.

The gatekeeper of the governor's office recognized the person coming, and asked, "Are there any enemies?"

Since Fang Xing's second southern expedition, Jiaozhi has gradually entered a period of peace. Occasionally, there will be fish that slip through the net and stir up trouble, but they can only cause a circle of ripples.

In recent years, there has been no news of rebellion at all. Everyone thinks Jiaozhi is completely peaceful.

"Report to the lord! The city is blocked!"

The sergeant at the gate was stunned when he heard it, and then ran in first.

The two ran in one after the other, and the officials they met along the way were a little surprised.

What happened?

"Who blocked it?"

Wang Delong was in a bad mood, so his eyes were cold.

The sergeant who came to report the news panted: "Sir, my lady...she is gone."

"Who?"

"My lady!"

Wang Delong slowly stood up, lowered his head slightly, sighed and said: "It's only... not half a day!"

The governor was alarmed, and those officials gathered.

"My lady is gone?"

The officials looked at each other, not knowing what they were feeling.

Years of male superiority and female inferiority made them extremely disgusted with my lady, but when she was gone, they found that the resentment was slowly dissipating.

"Sir, the city is blocked."

People came from outside one after another to confirm this fact.

"Sir..."

What attitude should we use to face this matter.

Ignore it?

Let the people go to pay tribute to that extraordinary woman.

Yes, no one denies that Xiao Niang is an extraordinary woman.

Wang Delong sighed again and walked out.

The officials made way for a path, and someone asked, "Sir, do you want to send people to disperse the people?"

Everyone looked at Wang Delong.

Once people gather together, even if there is nothing going on, once someone incites them, it may turn into a chaos.

Wang Delong walked in the "path" formed by officials, shook his head slightly and said, "Go and have a look."

...

The carriage was moving slowly, the men on both sides were silent, and the women knelt on the ground.

They were sad that their patron saint was gone.

"Mother..."

When Xiao Niang's daughter was brought by her future mother-in-law, the carriage stopped.

Xiao Niang's daughter stared at the carriage blankly, and then slowly walked over.

Wang Delong is here.

He dismounted and watched the scene in silence.

Behind him, the officials who followed him dismounted one after another, and then quietly watched the girl walk towards the carriage.

That woman is gone!

No one will challenge them for women's rights in the future!

Are you happy?

No one smiled.

Until the girl slowly lifted the curtain of the car.

"Mom..."
