Chapter 500 Did my sister get lost in her own house?
Lin Chang'er didn't expect Aunt Xu to think that way. As far as she knew, Yan Qing's maternal family was a wealthy family.
Aunt Xu returned home as a widow. Her ex-husband was a prominent figure, so she never intended for her to go out into the world to do business.
I just felt that people from families like that must have good manners and etiquette.
Although she was unwilling to restrict their young girls with the etiquette of this era.
Aside from self-respect, self-love, and independence, she dared not use the standards of later generations to teach them anything else. After all, life is short, and she was not confident that she could establish a one-to-one system and set of rules for future generations before she died peacefully.
If we teach young girls entirely according to the doctrines of later generations, it will actually harm them.
So she sent the girls to school, taught them embroidery, martial arts, and any practical skills she could think of.
More importantly, it's to give them the means to make a living in this era.
Change should be about gradual integration, not about creating conflict and eliminating each other.
It will take a long time to ensure that all girls in the world receive the same treatment as boys.
Even in later generations, the idea of valuing sons over daughters still exists.
The infamous "washing girl feng shui" formation, which is considered abhorrent to both gods and men, has occurred in modern times. Even in an era of highly developed human civilization, there were still many girls who had never even left the mountains.
However, Aunt Xu is certainly happy that she has this realization.
They were more than happy to accept her suggestion.
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "It would be wonderful if Auntie would be willing to help. Auntie, please don't be modest. Your embroidery skills are probably the best in our Linshui Village, if not the best in the world. Later, I'll have Sister Xing'er and my second sister-in-law learn from you. I don't know if you would be willing, or if you have any secret techniques that you don't share with outsiders. If you do, you can tell me."
Aunt Xu was pleased by the praise and covered her mouth to laugh for a moment before waving her hand, "You little girl, it's just needlework. There are no secret techniques. As long as they don't mind my lack of knowledge, they can come and learn."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaolu jumped for joy, "Auntie's peony embroidery is so beautiful! Mother, can Auntie teach Xiaolu too?"
Before Lin Chang'er could speak, Aunt Xu took the little girl's hand and said with a smile, "Of course you can! What does Xiaolu like? Auntie will teach you how to embroider it."
Gu Xiaolu tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Xiaolu wants to embroider a screen with a little goldfish, and also plum blossoms and a little deer, and also..."
Lin Chang'er laughed out loud, "Little Deer, what you want are all big projects, enough for you to embroider for several years."
Gu Xiaolu pouted, "It doesn't matter if it takes several years, Xiaolu can embroider slowly." The little goldfish represents her brother, and the little deer represents herself; she will give them both to her mother in the future.
Aunt Xu disagreed, saying, "Of course it would take Xiaolu several years to embroider by herself, but I'm here for her too."
Lin Chang'er slapped her forehead, "If Auntie were to take action, that would be a different story."
"Auntie is so amazing! With Auntie's help, Xiaolu will definitely be able to finish embroidering very quickly." Gu Xiaolu said with admiration.
Aunt Xu then reached out and patted the little girl's head.
Lin Chang'er never minded having more people help her take care of the little ones, so she sat aside and watched them interact with a smile.
Aunt Xu was a woman of action; she immediately picked up the embroidery frame to teach the little girl how to sew.
Just then, a small head peeked in through the door. The little boy, with a chubby face, was still panting. "Auntie, is my sister here? Grandpa asked her to come and call you for dinner, but she's been missing for so long. Is she lost in her own house?"
