In the Lu Family's backyard, Jiang Hao, Lu Zhi, and Lu Su were hard at work.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Jiang Hao was carving statues of the Three Pure Ones, while the two girls were printing Safety Talismans.
Setting down his carving knife, Jiang Hao stretched his arms. Seeing that the two girls were still busy, he walked over, picked one up, and examined it. Yellow silk served as the paper, cinnabar as the ink. In modern times, one of these talismans would cost at least three to five hundred, maybe even eight hundred. Here, he was only selling them for a few dozen coins. That was absolutely a fair price.
"Are you tired?" Jiang Hao asked the two girls.
Lu Zhi brushed back a loose strand of hair and said with a smile, "Working for Big Brother Jiang doesn't feel tiring."
"Not at all. I actually feel very happy. I used to have nothing to do, but now I feel fulfilled," Susu said as well.
Still, Jiang Hao had the two girls take a break. "Tell me, what do you want to do in the future?"
The two girls froze. Lu Zhi said, "Get married and have children, wash clothes and cook, farm and weave, support my husband and teach my children. Isn't that what all women do?"
Although this was the Qin Dynasty, certain social notions had long since taken shape. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao said, "I mean ideals. If you were allowed to do things like men, what would you want to do?"
The two girls pondered for a while. Lu Su spoke first. "Big Brother Jiang, if I could do something, I would want to be a healer, like you, able to cure illnesses and save people."
Susu spoke from the heart.
