119 Antiquity: Modern Antiquity

As the saying goes, only if you are interested can you have motivation. If this person loses interest in something, he will have no motivation. However, this little Cui girl has already accompanied Ouyang Xinyu to visit most of the Furong Street with great enthusiasm. So, this girl is still considerate to her master! At this moment, it is normal for her to protest against Ouyang Xinyu. Ouyang Xinyu herself knows it very well, so she has nothing to feel dissatisfied. But she is still energetic and still not satisfied!

"Miss Xinyu, I'm asking you to go back. Are you unhappy?" On the way back to Shangguanfu, Xiao Cuiya secretly glanced at Ouyang Xinyu, who was walking slowly with her head down, asked her guiltily.

Logically speaking, in ancient times, those who were maids should obey their master unconditionally. Even if they were reluctant and even if they were wronged, they could not speak in front of their master. However, this Ouyang Xinyu is different from other masters! She traveled from modern times and pretended to be a daughter. Moreover, she told Xiao Cuiya that they are good friends, and good friends should get along with each other honestly, and occasionally think about each other.

It is precisely because Ouyang Xinyu sincerely regarded Xiao Cuiyatou as her friend that Xiao Cuiyatou dared to act rashly. However, after all, Xiao Cuiyatou also helped Ouyang Xinyu a lot. Ouyang Xinyu traveled from modern times to this place. If Xiao Cuiyatou hadn't been helping her so hard, she would probably have no idea where she was.

"No, I just suddenly remembered the days in modern times. Every time I go to the night market, my mother never lets me buy so many things. She said it would be a waste of money to buy these useless things!" Ouyang Xinyu raised her head and replied to Xiao Cuiya.

"So, Miss Xinyu, aren't you very rich in modern home?" According to Ouyang Xinyu, Xiao Cuiya immediately guessed that she was in modern home and asked her.

"It's average, it can't be considered particularly rich! In modern times, if you want to be rich, you must rely on your own efforts to create wealth. In our era, lazy people have no conditions for survival and can only rely on the meager supply of the government to live!" As she walked, Ouyang Xinyu explained to Xiao Cuiyatou.

"Then, in Miss Xinyu's era, how can we work hard to create wealth by ourselves?" In different eras, the wealth that we can create by ourselves by our own efforts. What kind of scene is that? Xiao Cuiyatou said that she was very curious about what Ouyang Xinyu said, and she couldn't help asking Ouyang Xinyu.

"There are many ways! For example, if a worker works for someone in a factory, or helps someone to look at the store, or helps someone to print files in the office, you can get your salary. If you save the money, you can buy a house or a car. Or you can do your own business and become a boss, you can make a lot of money, and you can invest and make more money!" Hearing that Xiao Cuiya was very interested in modern things, Ouyang Xinyu explained to her in detail.

"What does Miss Xinyu's parents do in modern times?" Xiao Cuiya couldn't help but become curious. How did Ouyang Xinyu's parents create wealth in modern times?

"My father is an engineer, who specializes in managing project engineering technology and researching and solving technical problems. My mother is a housewife, who specializes in cooking, cleaning and other things at home." Ouyang Xinyu replied to Xiao Cuiyatou.

"Wasn't Miss Xinyu's mother, like our ancient servants, working as a slave in the homes of rich people, so she has no status?" In ancient times, weren't these cooking and cleaning all the work done by servants?

Xiao Cuiya thought Miss Xinyu's mother had nothing to do at home like a wife! Could it be that Miss Xinyu's mother was also a slave to rich families in modern times? What did Miss Xinyu tell her that they are modern civilized society and cities in modern construction? So, what is the difference between modern and ancient times? She couldn't help but ask Ouyang Xinyu in confusion.

"No, we are equal to men and women in modern times! My mother doesn't have to go out to work, and rely on my father to make money to support the family. She just cleans up the house we live in at home, do what we want, and rest if we don't want to do. Anyway, she is very free. My father gives all the money earned every month to my mother, and my mother will deposit the money in the bank. Unlike you in ancient times, if you sell yourself as a maid, you will be a cow and a horse for your whole life, let alone save money! In modern times, many people envy my mother's life like this!" Anyway, Ouyang Xinyu thinks that modern times are better than ancient times. Personal freedom, men and women are equal, unlike in ancient times, where men are superior to women, and there are a lot of taboos and rules.

"Miss Xinyu, what you said about saving money, Xiao Cui also saves money! That was what our Miss Wan'er gave to Xiao Cui in the past, and there were also the red envelopes given to Xiao Cui by the master and wife every year during the Chinese New Year. Xiao Cui saved all the money!" When Ouyang Xinyu mentioned the word "save money", Xiao Cui suddenly remembered that she also saved money, and she said to her excitedly.

"Your money is obtained by others' rewards. How much can you get? Can you afford a house, a carriage, and a body of your own?" Hearing Xiao Cuiya say that she also saved money in ancient times, Ouyang Xinyu immediately answered her disdainful and asked her. Xiao Cuiya thought Ouyang Xinyu would secretly ask her how much she saved, but she didn't expect that she poured cold water on her.

"Miss Xinyu, if you say this, I'm far from saving!" After hearing Ouyang Xinyu's words, Xiao Cui's girl shook her head and felt a sense of injury. It is indeed as she said, Xiao Cui's money she has accumulated in Shangguan's family over the past few years is not enough for her to buy a decent jade bracelet for her mother.

"Xiao Cui, what I told the truth! I didn't mean to hit you on purpose, don't take it to heart!" Seeing that her words seemed to hurt Xiao Cui, Ouyang Xinyu immediately apologized like her.

"Miss Xinyu, it's okay! You don't have to feel guilty! Xiao Cui just thinks, as Miss, you say this, it's better for you to be modern! No wonder Miss Xinyu is unwilling to stay in our ancient times!" Seeing Ouyang Xinyu blaming herself, Xiao Cui's girl comforted her in turn.
