Chapter 181 How Many Days Have Passed
"What to eat?" Wen Yao was also very cooperative. She roughly knew what to say next, but she didn't expect Yinzhen to learn it so quickly. It was also true that these were all academic masters, so how could he not learn it!
"I'll eat you!" Yinzhen looked at Wenyao, "How is it? Is that right? Do you know what I want to drink?"
"What to drink?" Wen Yao was very cooperative. "Tangtang, you are so smart. I will teach you everything about the afterlife first, and then you can teach it to Father Huang. This way, we can both get credit!"
"Okay, listen to Yaoyao. Come on, come on, I'm telling you, what do you drink? It's to protect you! To protect Yaoyao," Yinzhen said proudly, "How about it? Is that right? Am I smart?"
"Of course I'm smart. If I weren't smart, I wouldn't be able to open so many shops. Look at the shops opened by other people. It's good enough if they don't lose money. Who is like me? In fact, many people in the future also like me and admire my business ability." Wen Yao didn't lie. It was true. "Speaking of caring, there is actually another point. It's better for women to have children after the age of 2... 18. In fact, in the future, it's basically after the age of 20. As time goes by, many people have children after the age of 30."
"Thirty years old? A middle-aged woman?" Yin'er's eyes widened. "Will it still be possible at that time?"
"If you say this in the future, you will be beaten to death. If I am thirty years old and hear you call me a middle-aged woman, I will beat you to death. You can call me aunt, but calling me a middle-aged woman is really asking for a beating," Wen Yao felt that Yinzhen's words were always stinky.
"Now is not your future generation, but if you have a child at a very young age, will there be problems with the child or with the girl?" Yinzhen paid attention to one point and asked.
"They all have some problems, but not all of them. I can only say that most of them have them. After all, girls under the age of eighteen are still growing. Here, they get married at the age of fifteen, and some even become concubines before the age of fifteen." Wen Yao actually wanted to talk about issues such as sanitary napkins, but Wen Yao also knew that nowadays, people's food and clothing are actually a problem. If the food problem is not solved, even if everyone knows about the monthly menstrual problems of girls, it will only change the nobility!
The people don’t have extra money to make changes. It’s not that they don’t want to change, but that they can’t change.
In addition, there was the issue of being sold as a concubine at a young age. In fact, the most fundamental reason was that the problem of food and clothing was not solved, and women had no land. Wen Yao had already made note of this.
Wen Yao planned to talk about it after the Manchu-Han issue was resolved. After all, Kangxi now advocated that the Manchus were the orthodox, and the Han people had a very low status. Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen and said, "You can talk to the emperor about this when the time comes. Another point is that close relatives cannot get married. You can ask the emperor to check it out. I think I am right."
Wen Yao would not directly say that she wanted to improve the status of the Han people, but the fact that close relatives could not marry could gradually improve the status of the Han people. There would be many more policies in the future, and she remembered that many of them were discovered by Han people in the folk.
After solving these kinds of problems, it will be easy to make any policy changes in the future. At that time, the court and even the people will probably be more stable. This is just Wen Yao's own idea. She has always believed that most of the forces against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of Ming Dynasty were because the status of the Han people was too low at that time!
In fact, Wen Yao was also very clear that the White Lotus Sect existed in the Ming Dynasty and did not rise after the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
"The problems with the Imperial Household Department and Baoyi have not been completely solved. The cowpox case has just started. Dai Zi has just made arrangements. I have to wait until the problems with the Imperial Household Department and Baoyi are completely solved before I can tell the Emperor. What do you think?" Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, "Do you think we should tell him now?"
"I thought the same thing as you did before, but after I thought about it, we should tell the Emperor first. After the Emperor knows the situation, he can arrange a thorough investigation. The Emperor will not announce everything at once. He will make arrangements," Wen Yao felt that the two of them were thinking too much, and these should be left to the Emperor and the prince to solve.
"You are right. Why should I take all the responsibility on myself? I will tell you tomorrow. If there are things that I can learn, I will learn them first. If I can't learn them, I will directly hand them over to my father and the others." Yinzhen did not insist on his own opinion. He would listen to other people's opinions. After all, this would be more convenient for her.
"Tangtang, I think I should go for the cowpox test this time," Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen, "Although it's probably safer to be a little younger, I'm not that much different. What's more, it's been tested once, so there shouldn't be any problems. If I don't go, I'm afraid that if I get this reward and there's a death in the future, everyone will think of me."
"Besides, I also want to get vaccinated with cowpox, which can prevent and treat smallpox. Otherwise, if someone attacks me, it will be much more dangerous than getting vaccinated," Wen Yao thought carefully. At present, the human smallpox vaccine has only been developed for a few years and the mortality rate is quite high, so it was not used among the princes first.
"Let's go together," Yinzhen thought for a while, "Call Yinzhen, as for the other brothers, I don't care, they can do whatever they want, seeing the character of Concubine De, I won't say much."
"Defei has not gotten herself into trouble. She may have backfired on the Emperor's side this time," Wen Yao's lips curled up slightly. "The Emperor will probably be even more suspicious of Defei," because Defei had not expected Kangxi's slight change. Since the Crown Prince's marriage, her status in the court has been rising, and her abilities have been improving as well.
The crown prince was still young, while Kangxi was getting older. It was normal for an emperor who had been in power for too long to become suspicious in the later years of his reign. Kangxi was no exception, and he could even be said to be extremely suspicious.
However, after Wen Yao's arrival and saying that these princes would not rebel, Kangxi's suspicion was basically eliminated, so he became calmer and more composed. When Defei was calculating this time, Kangxi was able to analyze more calmly.
"Fourteenth brother cannot go this time, Defei should be very satisfied," Yinzhen thought about the actions of his own royal father and found it quite interesting. The royal father directly asked Twelfth and Thirteenth brother to go. Fourteenth brother did not go but Fifteenth brother went, and only Fourteenth brother was isolated. Isn't this what Defei wanted!
The Emperor made his wish come true!
The two of them talked about gossip in and out of the palace, and fell asleep while chatting and laughing.
Time passed as Wen Yao attended banquets one after another. During that time, April 28th was Concubine De's birthday. At that time, Wen Yao, Yin'er, and Yin? had all been vaccinated. However, it was said that Concubine De's birthday was cancelled because she was ill. As for whether she was ill, Wen Yao said that since the Emperor said she was ill, then Concubine De must be ill!
After all, sometimes mental illness is also a disease!
Wen Yao felt that Kangxi was really awesome. On the fourth day of May, at Kangxi's 46th birthday banquet, Defei recovered very quickly. However, this birthday banquet also made Defei and the Fourteenth Prince completely lose face.
