Chapter 130: Do you decide your own life?
Chapter 130: Do you decide your own life?
When Xia Qingqing said this, it was even more shocking than before. Not only Qian Suya, but Zhou Muyue and Song Yao also looked at her in surprise.
"What are you talking about, darling?"
They were all shocked, and Xia Qingqing repeated calmly, "Do you want to be a general? And your cousin?"
Qian Suya and Zhou Muyue both come from generals' families. They have been exposed to these things since childhood and must have a dream of becoming a general in their hearts.
But they also knew in their hearts that there would be no female generals in this world.
Their eyes were staring at Xia Qingqing nakedly. Xia Qingqing noticed that no one was speaking, so she looked up at them and found that they were looking at her with complicated eyes.
"What are you doing?" It was frightening to look at her like that.
"Qingqing, is what you just said true?"
Qian Suya asked again, probably because she was also looking forward to it.
Xia Qingqing finally understood why they were like this and chuckled.
"This may not be true now, but... whether it will become true in the future is uncertain."
After hearing Xia Qingqing's first words, they both felt obviously disappointed, but Xia Qingqing's subsequent words gave them hope again.
"You mean it's possible?"
Xia Qingqing did not give them a definite answer. After all, no one knew what would happen in the future.
"I don't know, but I want to say that if you want to be a certain kind of person, you can work hard on it. It's your own life, and you can decide for yourself how you want to live it."
After Xia Qingqing said this, there was silence for a few seconds. They had nothing to say, and Xia Qingqing did not disturb their thoughts.
She said what was in her heart, but they might not accept it in their hearts. After all, her words were too modern.
After saying that, he continued to look at the book in front of him, ignoring the three people next to him. The three of them were shocked and looked at each other.
Do you decide your own life?
No one has ever told them this. The elders in the family only told them to learn housework well, be decent, and take care of their husbands and children in the future.
The other two were not so extreme, but Song Yao was like this. She lowered her head and repeated what Xia Qingqing had just said: Her own life?
Although their family does not have many wives and concubines, there are still a few concubines. But despite this, my father's attention is all on me.
But this is also the treatment that every girl from aristocratic family will receive. Her life seems to be arranged, and everything she does now is to marry into a good family in the future.
If you don't know anything, no one will want you, so you have to package yourself as a talented woman, so that you have more chances.
Xia Qingqing could hear what they were thinking. Although she was holding a book in her hand, she did not move it from beginning to end and kept listening to their thoughts.
Seeing that they still looked confused, she sighed deeply and put down the book in her hand.
After all, they are my good friends. There is no reason to leave them alone. I can only wave to them and ask them to come over.
Seeing this, they came over to them, only to see Xia Qingqing looking at them very seriously.
"Remember what I just said. You don't have to let others decide your future life. Only you can decide for yourself!"
Xia Qingqing was thinking that since they were still young, they might not have been seriously poisoned by the tea, so maybe they could be prevented from making the same mistake again.
Song Yao was the most shocked. She stared at Xia Qingqing without blinking, her mouth stammering, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Xia Qingqing looked at Song Yao and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Is there anything else between us that needs to be kept secret?"
Xia Qingqing also knew that her family was even more feudal, and if she could speak out her true feelings, it might help her.
Seeing that they were all looking at her, Song Yao bit her lip lightly and lowered her head, not knowing how to start.
Xia Qingqing looked at her encouragingly, and finally Song Yao spoke out what was in her heart.
"You also know that my family is strict. I am the eldest daughter, and my family has high hopes for me. I must work harder to make them feel that I am valuable.
My mother has told me since I was little that I must surprise everyone and marry someone who can help the family...."
Song Yao said a lot of incoherent things, and I knew the depression in her heart. She had grown up under the expectations of her family for a long time, and the pressure was very great.
Looking at the hard-working Song Yao, the other three looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. They were the same.
They are from a family of military generals and have practiced martial arts since childhood. Although no one in their family said anything, people outside did say a lot.
People outside said that the girls from both families were naughty girls and no one would marry them in the future. All these words were very harsh in their eyes.
They appear to be indifferent on the surface, but they are also aware of the pressure at home, and they are also taught the virtues of women, the three obediences and four virtues.
But they don't like this in their hearts, but so what? All the women in this world have lived like this, so what qualifications do they have to be an exception?
It would be easier if she knew why they were like this. She knew that it would be useless for her to say anything at this time, but she still had to say something.
"What if I say that I will help women become independent and live the life they want?"
As soon as Xia Qingqing finished speaking, the three of them stared at her, not daring to believe that this was true.
"Is what you said true?" Song Yao asked uncertainly.
As soon as she asked, a voice came into her mind. Others might not be able to do it, but Xia Qingqing might be able to do it, after all, the emperor liked her so much.
In fact, Xia Qingqing herself was not very sure, but who could tell what would happen in the future? The most important thing now was to give them hope. If they wanted changes in the future, they had to make them now.
"You might as well think about what you really like. Just because your family is a general doesn't mean you want to be a general. Think about what you like and what kind of person you want to be."
Everyone is different. Xia Qingqing respects them. Although they are only five years old now, due to family reasons or social reasons, children of this age are already very sensible.
They can hear what they are saying and decide for themselves what they need.
The process of finding yourself is a long one and it takes a lot of time.
