Chapter 259 257 Chen Jingyun's Guilt

What Gu Hua said at the gate of his house quickly spread and people began to talk about it.

Many years of traditional thinking.

Men stay at home to carry on the family line, while girls not only have to marry into another family after they grow up, but also have to pay a large sum of money as a dowry.

Those with weak character and small dowry will be looked down upon by their in-laws.

If the husband's family is unreasonable, a married woman will be deprived of even the right to honor her parents.

In such an environment, it is difficult for women to be valued by their own families and their husbands' families.

After hearing this feedback, Gu Hua also fell into deep thought...

She only thought that if more women could become independent and strong, they could improve their status and live a better life. When they were girls, they would not be sold at will by their parents, or married to some bad families in exchange for dowry for their sons.

A woman who has married into her husband's family can learn a skill and earn money on her own, and will not be abused or abandoned by her husband's family.

But now Gu Hua felt that his thinking was too superficial.

Why can men inherit the family business, but women cannot?

Gu Hua, who had an idea in mind, often took Huanhuan with her when she went out. The nine-year-old girl, after struggling at the beginning, quickly got used to following her mother and learning how to handle some political affairs.

After Gu Hua did this, Xiao Junlin quickly understood her thoughts. However, he did not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, and he always unconditionally supported whatever the person he loved wanted to do.

Offspring are important, but in his heart the children's mother is equally important.

Even the man who is slowly falling in love feels that Gu Hua, the woman who has already entered his heart, is even more unable to give up. Sometimes, even the children have to stand aside compared to their mother.

"..." If Gu Hua knew that men were so love-brained, she would definitely advise him to go dig wild vegetables to clear his mind.

...It’s not good to be in love.

Since we know that Gu Hua wants to set an example for women all over the world, telling the world that women can also achieve great things and inherit the family business if they are well trained.

Xiao Junlin, who didn't want to let his other sons down, could only try his best to train his two sons, An An and Kang Kang, into outstanding people with both literary and military skills.

Then let them have the ability to create their own world and not compete with their sister for that position. Be careful not to anger their mother, or the two sons will be badly punished.

He knew that the woman was a cruel person with a lot of secrets, such as the large amount of food that appeared out of nowhere and the seemingly endless amount of gold and silver treasures.

The thing that is most abundant in troubled times is people to follow. As long as there is food and silver to support the troops, Gu Hua's rebellion will succeed with or without his power as a prince.

……

this day.

Gu Hua looked at Chen Jingyun who was brought in by the servant. He had lost a lot of weight and his face was pale. He knelt down with a plop when he saw her.

“Master Gu, Fuying was kidnapped by a group of pirates on his way back from overseas trade.

The cargo and people on board the ship were stolen by pirates and are now missing."

Chen Jingyun's face was pale with guilt, simply because their Chen family merchant ship was traveling with Su Fuying at that time.

It is unknown why the pirates let them go but hijacked the Gu family merchant ship.

They had already dealt with these pirates, and they had been at peace in previous years, but this year they suddenly attacked the merchant ships of their two families. Strictly speaking, the pirates seemed to be targeting the merchant ships flying the flag of Gu Hua Merchants, because their targets were obvious, otherwise the Chen family merchant ships would not have escaped so easily.

“Master Chen, get up quickly, what does the pirates’ robbery have to do with you?

If you are robbed at sea, you are lucky to escape.

Besides, most of the people on the merchant ships are sailors, and there are not many who can really fight. Even if you sail over to join the resistance, you will end up like a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth."

This is the truth, but Chen Jingyun couldn't get over the guilt psychologically for abandoning his allies and leaving on his own.

After the old head of the Chen family left, Chen Jingyun, who had already taken the position of the head of the Chen family, said bitterly, "Head of the Gu family..."

"No need to feel guilty," Gu Hua waved his hand, "But next, I'll have to trouble Master Chen to send someone to go with me to the sea area where Fu Ying and the others were kidnapped."

Chen Jingyun was surprised: "You want to rescue them at sea?"

He knew the identity of the woman in front of him. She was a hundred times more noble than the insignificant head of the Gu family. Otherwise, he would not have knelt down guiltily as soon as he came in.

Guilty, really guilty.

But she was also worried that the overlord of the entire area south of the Yangtze River, whose power was so huge, would vent his anger on her Chen family because her own merchant ship returned safely while her Gu family's trading ship was hijacked. That was why she made this bow.

"Is it strange?" Gu Hua tapped the table with his fingers and said softly, "My subordinate was robbed. As the master, how can I not rescue him?"

Han Jinyan, Li Wei, Zhu Zhishen, Xu Zhuo, and a group of civil servants and military officers who came to the door to discuss something with Gu Hua were all moved by her attitude towards her subordinates.

It turns out that there really are masters who value their subordinates as people they cannot abandon.

Gao Yuanfang, who was standing at the end of the crowd, had never been promoted because he had betrayed others before. He was also impressed by Gu Hua's attitude of respecting his subordinates.

"I turned back in time and followed the right person."

"Humph." Han Jinyan glanced at him, "You still have a conscience.

If you hadn't led the team as a vanguard and cooperated with us to wipe out your former master's lair, the master would have tolerated you, and I would have chopped off your head as a traitor long ago."

"Hehe." Gao Yuanfang touched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed: "It's been so many years since the incident, why is General Han still talking about this?"

"Come in, everyone." Gu Hua, who was sitting in the hall, heard the noise outside and shouted.

When a group of civil and military officials walked in majestically in official uniforms, Chen Jingyun truly felt that the woman in front of him was no longer the young mistress of the Gu family with whom he could be on equal terms.

No wonder his elderly father had told him to meet Gu Hua with a humble and respectful heart before coming.

It turned out that the insightful father had already realized that their identities were no longer on the same level.

"Greetings to the Lord, Great Safeness."

"No need to be polite, everyone. Please take a seat."

Gu Hua raised his hand slightly and made a gesture of no need to be polite.

After Han Jinyan led everyone in paying their respects, they chose to sit in different seats in the front and back according to the level of their official positions.

After Gu Hua and the others drank some tea to moisten their throats, he spoke up and asked, "What brings you here today?"

Han Jinyan and his group originally came to tell Gu Hua that with their current military strength and sufficient logistical supplies, they could continue to expand their influence northwards, slowly expanding their territory until they swallowed up the entire Daxuan.
