Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 472 The Orphan Abandoned by the Times 9

Gu Nuanyi has read a lot of novels about women being superior, but she never expected that one day she would meet a man who is a woman superior.

Although she didn't know the situation in the Southern Chen Kingdom, all the major novels said that the female-dominated country was the Southern Chen Kingdom.

Men stay at home to raise children, do housework, etc.

I was quite close just now, maybe I really violated the taboo of the Southern Chen Kingdom.

Gu Nuanyi took a few steps back. Although she was quite shocked, she still respected the customs of other countries.

The little boy felt relieved when he saw Gu Nuanyi moving away.

Holding the handkerchief, he knelt down and saluted towards Gu Nuanyi: "I don't know what your name is. Can you tell me about the situation in China?"

Gu Nuanyi just raised her hand, but then she put it down again after thinking of what the little boy had just said about not touching each other.

He smiled and said, "Get up, we don't care about these things here. My name is Gu Nuanyi, what's your name? Why don't you introduce me to the situation of your Southern Chen Kingdom first?"

The little boy stood up and folded his hands on his belly, his posture elegant and full of royal demeanor: "My name is Chen Hanyu, I am the fifth prince of the Southern Chen Kingdom, and my mother is the queen of the Southern Chen Kingdom. After the age of 5 in our Nancheng Kingdom, my sister and brother cannot eat at the same table, and cannot be alone together, otherwise it will ruin my brother's reputation. If I can't find a good family, then when I reach a certain age, I will be forced to marry by the government. It's hard to say who I can marry and what kind of life I will live, or whether I can be accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas for the rest of my life."

"Are the guys there proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?"

"The brothers of our Southern Chen royal family must learn these things. They must also learn to do needlework, compose poems and couplets to show off their elegance. However, my health is not very good, so my father usually lets me lie down to rest or do needlework. Is it the same for you Chinese people?"

Gu Nuanyi raised her head and said proudly: "We in Huaxia are completely opposite to your Nanchen. We don't have a royal family here, we only have leaders. Under the leadership of the leaders, everyone is free!!"

"Free... You are free, that's great!" Chen Hanyu lowered his head and grabbed the handkerchief in his hand: "You Chinese brothers are so lucky!"

Gu Nuanyi nodded proudly: "In our China, everyone is free and happy. As long as you have hands and feet and are willing to work, your life will definitely not be bad! Although women in China give birth to children, we women are not completely restricted to staying at home to take care of our husbands and children. The vast world outside is up to us to explore."

"Our leaders have said that women can hold up half the sky, and that women are just as good as men at work. Some men can't even compare to women!"

Chen Hanyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her watery eyes widened, obviously shocked.

After a while, the voice said in a trance: "You don't need to learn the art of music, chess, calligraphy, or poetry, and you don't need to please me. Do you want me to take a concubine?"

"If you are willing to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and couplets, you can certainly learn them, but these are only for the rich. Farmers like us have to fill our stomachs first before we can think of anything else."

Chen Hanyu nodded: "In Southern Chen Kingdom, these pretentious things are done by the rich and powerful. Most people are busy filling their stomachs just like you are here."

Then he looked at Gu Nuanyi cautiously and asked, "I...Is it true that I can't go back to Nanchen? Is it very far away?"

Gu Nuanyi was silent for a while and then said: "That's really far... Anyway, I don't have the ability to send you back."

Chen Hanyu lowered his head in disappointment, silently wiping his tears with a handkerchief, just like a wounded kitten licking its wounds alone.

Gu Nuanyi sighed in her heart and comforted him: "Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. As long as we survive, there is hope. Who knows when you will go back again."

"You're right!" Chen Hanyu wiped her tears and untied the jade pendant on her waist: "Sister Gu, I don't have any money on me. This jade pendant is worth a little money. Can you please help me exchange some money and buy two sets of clothes?"

After thinking for a while, she took off all the hairpins, silk flowers, and hairpins on her head.

"I wonder if these can buy a place to live? It doesn't have to be too big, just an independent courtyard. If it's not enough, can I..." Chen Hanyu held the handkerchief nervously: "Can you give me a few days to embroider a few handkerchiefs? I'm very good at red..."

"I have been paid by someone who has entrusted me with a task. I have also arranged a place for you to stay. Please follow me."

"Wait! Sister Gu, is there anyone else here? Since that person is my savior, I should come and thank him in person."

Gu Nuanyi had walked around the deep mountains, but couldn't find a place to worship the mountain spirits.

Gu Nuanyi scratched his head, pointed at a place and said, "Then worship it, it can feel it."

"Ah?" Chen Hanyu looked in the direction of Gu Nuanyi's finger: "There's nothing."

"Sincerity is the key to success!" He nodded seriously after saying this.

Chen Hanyu tilted his head and looked at Gu Nuanyi, and saw her nodding with certainty.

He took two tentative steps forward, then knelt on his knees with a thump.

Keep your forehead close to the ground and place your hands on both sides of your head with your palms facing up.

"Thank you for saving my life..."

Before I could finish my words of thanks, a gentle breeze lifted me up.

"This...this..." Chen Hanyu looked back and forth between Gu Nuanyi and the ground, his face full of confusion. How did he get up just now? ?

"That's what I told you. Sincerity pays off. That person has already received your gratitude."

Chen Hanyu suddenly looked at Gu Nuanyi excitedly: "It was a god, right?! Oh my God, it was a god who saved me!"

Chen Hanyu frantically found the jade pendant and handed it to Gu Nuanyi: "Sister Gu, please help me buy some beef, mutton, fresh fruits and some incense. I want to worship the gods! Maybe the gods can send me back to the Southern Chen Kingdom."

Gu Nuanyi coughed twice: "Something happened down the mountain...something happened down the mountain. You can't buy the things you mentioned for the time being. And if you want to buy things now, it's not enough to have money, you also need a ticket, and I don't have that ticket..."

"Ah?" Chen Hanyu looked even more anxious: "If I don't offer sacrifices, will the gods blame me?"

"Just now a gust of wind lifted you up, which means the gods have received your gratitude. There is no need to set up a special table."

"Is that so..." Chen Hanyu bit his lower lip: "Just now you said you need a ticket to buy something... I... I don't have anything."

"Don't worry too much, you won't go hungry."

"Can't we go down the mountain?"

"The village at the foot of the mountain was in drought, so the villagers fled. Because I was too young and an orphan, they didn't take me with them. I was saved by the mountain spirit just like you."

"Mountain spirit? Is it the spirit that saved me? This mountain spirit is so kind."

As they were both saved by Shan Ling, Chen Hanyu became closer to Gu Nuanyi.
