Li Chen was also amused.
Tong Yan Wuji speaks directly to people's hearts. For Li Chen, who is surrounded by lies and deceit, such dialogue is particularly precious.
After thinking about it, Li Chen took out a jade pendant. It was not big, but the material was the finest and rare mutton-fat warm jade, and the workmanship was so fine that it had to be carefully carved by a master craftsman.
Putting the jade pendant in the little girl's hand, Li Chen said with a smile: "You keep this jade pendant and regard it as your future dowry. Tell your parents that you don't need to save a dowry for you now. There are many people at home."
If you have enough money to hire a husband, it’s also a good thing for a woman to know how to read.”
At this moment, the way people around looked at the girl changed.
If you say a few words in a normal way, they won't be considered true.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the treasure personally, which was extraordinary.
The dignitaries of Baoding Mansion looked at the jade pendant in the girl's hand with burning eyes. Many of them had already begun to think about how to get this jade pendant afterwards.
Li Chen knew what these people were thinking without even looking. He didn't want his whim to bring disaster to this ordinary family, so he turned to Lin Qiuming and ordered: "Let's leave this matter to our hands."
I have given you supervision, and other ignorant adults sold this jade pendant."
Having said this before, the meaning is already very clear.
Lin Qiuming immediately responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, this is the dowry prepared for her, and I will naturally supervise it for Your Highness."
The two words exchanged between the monarch and his ministers extinguished all the thoughts of those powerful people behind.
If just now we could still count on His Highness being busy and showing off a thing in his spare time, there is a high probability that he would not care about it later, let alone think of it on his own initiative, and that there was still some room for plunder, then now His Highness has said this.
If you continue to do that after saying that, you are really seeking death.
This group of dignitaries may not have any evil intentions for a piece of mutton-fat jade. They are all people who have seen the world and cannot be so guilty of lowering their status. But this thing comes from the prince, and its meaning is different. No matter how great the meaning is,
There is no reason to risk offending the prince.
A sane person would settle this account.
The woman holding her child looked confused. She had no idea that she and her entire family had just passed by a huge change.
At this time, she only knew to follow Li Chen's words and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is virtue for a woman not to be talented..."
Li Chen laughed when he heard this and said, "Speaking of which, where did this sentence start to spread? This person should be found and nailed to a pillar of shame to be infamy for thousands of years."
There are many so-called famous sayings that are widely circulated even among people with a horribly high illiteracy rate, but most of those that are circulated are wrong.
The woman looked stunned and didn't understand what Li Chen meant.
Li Chen glanced at the people around him who were also curious, then pointed at Lin Qiuming and said, "Master Lin, do you know the allusion to this sentence?"
Lin Qiuming smiled and cupped his hands and replied: "It is virtue for a woman to have no talent. Most people today have a wrong understanding of this sentence, at least not comprehensively. It was first proposed by Chen Jiru, a scholar more than two hundred years ago.
In the book "The Words of Elder An De", the original text is that a man's gain is wealth, and a woman's lack of talent is virtue."
