Wang Wenyin traveled through time!
Traveling through a thousand years into the future called "modern times".
She was originally the granddaughter of Prime Minister Wang Anshi. Her father Wang Yu died of illness before she was born. After her grandfather died, the Wang family fell into decline. Her grandmother Wu took her to Beijing to find relatives but unfortunately died of the epidemic. Her second aunt, eager to avoid suspicion, abandoned her to fend for herself in Futian Courtyard outside Bianjing. When she was terminally ill, Wang Wenyin traveled to the next life.
In later generations, Wang Wenyin saw many new things. It turned out that women could go to school, participate in imperial examinations, and work as officials and businesses like men. It turns out that women do not have to be dependent on men, and marriage is not the only life choice for women. Women can also control their own destiny.
After returning from rebirth, Wang Wenyin believed that time travelers could not change the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, but they could improve the dining tables and living standards of the people of the Song Dynasty. She wanted to use the advanced technology she had mastered from later generations to improve the happiness index of the people of the Song Dynasty. She wanted to encourage the women of the Northern Song Dynasty to be independent and self-reliant. She wanted to create an opportunity for the people at the bottom to change their destiny.
After taking stock, Wang Wenyin used the only jade pendant she had left on her body as a mortgage and borrowed a stone of aged early indica rice from the abbot of Jingyuan Temple, Tai. She started a rice noodle business from scratch with the widow Zhang Ersao who was also penniless, the refugee Li Aping, the widowed elderly Mrs. Zhou and the old, weak, sick and disabled from Futian Hospital.
