Chapter 258 The Female Supporting Characters in the Republic of China 3
The Jing Mansion is in Yuncheng. Others only know that the Jing family has some background with the military, but few people know that the most capable military commander in the north is the eldest son of the Jing Mansion. Many families who have learned some inside information regretted not sending their daughters over to establish a relationship with the family.
Ji Lingruo sat on a chair in the small garden in the courtyard, reading the newspaper bought by the servants, and understanding the situation in the world.
Some places in the south are still a bit chaotic, but under Jing Yunchuan's control in the past few days, most of the north has become stable.
I don't know how Madam Jing got the news. She thought her grandson died in there. Now that I think about it, it was all part of a conspiracy.
A clear young girl's voice rang in her ears, "Sister-in-law, why are you staying in the courtyard reading the newspaper? Can you, a woman who has been in the backyard for a long time, understand these new things? Can you accept them?"
The person who came was Jing Yan, the little granddaughter of Old Madam Jing. She was accompanied by a woman whom Ling Ruo had seen before. She was the woman in a Western dress in the morning.
"Have you lost your mind? I just stay in my boudoir all the time. I'm not blind or illiterate."
Although the original owner's father believed that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent and did not allow the original owner to read and write, Tan Shengnan would always secretly teach her and bring her newspapers, and the two of them would huddle together to read the latest current affairs.
"Okay, Xiaoyan, you can't be rude to your sister-in-law." The girl in the white dress, Lin Han, comforted her.
"She is not my sister-in-law. My brother will not like a woman who becomes his wife because of a ghost marriage. How can she understand what free love is? In my opinion, Sister Han, you are much better than her." Jing Yan muttered softly.
Then she said loudly, "In my opinion, you should ask to leave and vacate your position. How can an old-fashioned woman like you be worthy of our Jing family?"
Ji Lingruo showed no emotion on her face. "Yes, if the advanced and open-minded Jing family hadn't arranged a ghost marriage for the deceased eldest young master, I wouldn't have become the eldest young lady, right?"
Although her words did not cause any emotion, they made Jing Yan feel a burning pain on his face.
Lingruo also knew that it was simply because Jing Yunchuan had returned, and Jingyan felt that Lingruo was no longer worthy of the living Jing Yunchuan, so he wanted her to leave.
However, Ji Lingruo did not plan to stay in Jing Mansion for long.
Her face turned pale and blue. Jing Yan also knew about the ghost marriage. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time. She just felt that her brother was too lonely down there, so she also looked at the portraits of those women.
How could she have the nerve to mock Ji Lingruo for being old-fashioned? She was also one of those who supported the ghost marriage.
Seeing Jing Yan's expression was not right, Lin Han tugged at her clothes, "Xiao Yan, have you forgotten? We also want to invite Madam to go out with us to the shooting range to play with guns."
After saying this, she glanced at Ji Lingruo inconspicuously, hoping to see fear and shrinking in her.
Who knew Ji Lingruo nodded, "Okay, let's go."
His generous and calm attitude made Jing Yan and Lin Han stunned for a moment.
Ji Lingruo also wanted to see how far guns in this world had developed so that she could make guns that were suitable for this era.
Before, in the interstellar world, in order to make Heno behave himself and to give him some fun so that he wouldn't always pester her, she dismantled the starship armor, lightsabers, and light guns, and then the two of them reassembled them.
It's a pity that she can't make interstellar guns and armor in this world. The technology has not reached that level. Moreover, this world does not have a large amount of raw materials. Although she has placed some materials in her space, it is far from enough.
What's more, if you bring out too many destructive props that can interfere with the world, then the world will have cracks and begin to collapse and break. It's like in the Stone Age, if you bring out bug-type weapons like the atomic bomb, it would be strange if the world didn't collapse.
However, the space also stored some guns in the late apocalypse. When the time comes, we can study them and upgrade the weapons without destroying the world.
There was a luxurious little black sedan parked in front of the Jing residence. Jing Yan thought Ji Lingruo would make a fuss. After all, this thing had just become popular in Yuncheng and only the rich and powerful could afford it. A person like Lingruo, who came from a small family and had a pedantic father and a gambling addict brother, would never have the chance to see this thing.
Who would have thought that Ji Lingruo would sit in it directly without showing any trace of timidity that other people would have when seeing something new for the first time.
Jing Yan was sitting next to her and snorted coldly.
Ji Lingruo found it a little funny. What was this young lady doing throwing a tantrum again?
The journey was peaceful and we soon arrived at the shooting range.
Lin Han held a gun and said to Ji Lingruo with a smile: "Madam, you shouldn't be able to use this thing, right? My brother and I have always been with the young marshal, and we have learned a little bit."
In fact, her brother stayed with Jing Yunchuan, and she had no chance to get close to him.
Ji Lingruo shook her head. This body certainly couldn’t do that.
"I think it shouldn't be difficult." She smiled.
Lin Han had a complicated expression. It’s not difficult... She said it so easily. She had been pestering her brother to learn for a long time before she could even learn the basics.
"Hmph, you are just putting on airs. I think you are just being stubborn. Miss Lin is really amazing. Not only has she seen big scenes, she can also shoot a gun." Jing Yan looked at Lin Han with starry eyes.
A woman with old-fashioned ideas like Ji Lingruo would never be able to enter the Jing family unless it was an accident. God knows how much Jing Yan wants to have a sister-in-law who studied abroad and has a foreign education.
Ji Lingruo called the waiters over and asked them to demonstrate it once, and then taught her again.
Then she picked up the gun and pointed it at the target.
A gunshot rang out, hitting the bull's eye.
"It's not difficult." Ji Lingruo smiled softly at Jing Yan.
Jingyan: 0.0
Lin Han: 0.0
This is truly a gifted talent. Lin Han, who wanted to show off in front of Ling Ruo, felt a little embarrassed.
If he continued to display his mediocre marksmanship, he would be bringing humiliation upon himself.
She looked at Ji Lingruo, who was wearing a plain white silk cheongsam, with her black hair casually tied up with an orchid jade hairpin. She looked extremely gentle, like a beauty walking out of the misty rain of Jiangnan.
Lin Han suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself. Lingruo was very smart and learned things quickly. She could hit the bull's eye in just a short while, but she couldn't do that.
Besides, she doesn't look like the kind of woman who is conventional and has old-fashioned ideas.
For a moment, Lin Han's mind was a little complicated.
Lingruo tried several different types of guns and gradually got the answer.
She was having fun, while Jing Yan on the side was looking at Ling Ruo in shock.
"You and I think differently than those old-fashioned women."
Ji Lingruo frowned slightly, "If given the chance, they may be more open-minded and intelligent than you. Don't you think that they are all voluntarily trapped in the inner house? Are they willing to accept arranged marriages? Are they unwilling to take the initiative to learn new trends and new ideas?"
There is simply no chance of contact, due to the external and internal environment.
Jing Yan was a little speechless. She had always looked down on that group of women and thought they were self-degrading. Ling Ruo's words today made her speechless.
Ji Lingruo left the shooting range first, leaving Lin Han and Jing Yan still in a daze.
She only told them that she was leaving, but in fact she was planning to find a clinic to remove the shackles that bound her feet.
