Guan Suyi doesn't like to socialize and doesn't know many people, but she is deeply impressed by this woman. She clicked there and asked, "This person's name is Ji Ting? The eldest daughter of the second house of Ji's house?"
"Miss, do you know?" Jin Zi was greatly surprised, and immediately replied, "She is Ji Ting, the eldest daughter of the second house of Ji's house, because her husband spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, he had to bring his only daughter Qian Shuiyao and Li Hui home with him. However, the second room has no power and no power, and she is a small child. She has younger siblings and daughters to take care of, and her infirm and sick mother needs to support her. Life is really difficult. As a last resort, she has to embroider some patterns and take them to the cloth shop to sell. She fell in love with the steward Bu Zhuang, and wanted to remarry. The steward was born in poverty and had only a meager monthly payment, but he was willing to help her support her family. The two had already exchanged Geng Tie, Mrs. Ji Er He also agreed, but he did not expect the marriage to be reported to Lord Ji, which made him furious. He sent someone to Qian's house to ask them to take Qian Shuiyao back, and then ordered Ji Ting to lose her hair and practice with green lights. Today is the day When the Qian family came to pick him up, his family spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, and the house was filthy and chaotic.
"Ah? What's the matter? Master Ji is too cruel! That's his niece, but she's just remarrying, so what can hinder him?" Minglan said angrily.
Guan Suyi put down the teacup, her tone became colder, "obstructing his face is a death penalty. A pedantic person like him regards ethical dogma as more important than human life. Ji Ting and Li Ben hurt his heart and lungs, and now they are again If he wants to remarry, and his husband is a commoner from a humble background, how can he bear it? Naturally, he must punish him a lot to show off his prestige as the head of the family."
In the eyes of these people, their own authority and face are the most important, so who cares about the life and death of others? In her previous life, when "The Ring of Women" was popular in Beijing, Ji Ting proposed to remarry, but was forced by Mr. Ji to become a monk, breaking her marriage. Qian Shuiyao was killed by her father's concubine less than a year after she returned home, but she said that she was contemptuous, and she clashed with the Qian family. Pit, hastily buried. Ji Ting was distraught after hearing the news. She ran to her daughter's grave overnight and dug her out with her bare hands. The mother and daughter hugged and died quietly.
The steward had a deep love for her, and spent all his family wealth to buy a coffin for the two of them, and held a funeral, but because of this, he angered Lord Ji, and his legs were broken and expelled from the capital, and his whereabouts are unknown since then. Mrs. Ji Er got crazy and died in the back house of Ji's mansion within a few years. A pair of children had no support, one had no success in assassinating his uncle, and instead went to death in prison; one was forced to marry an old man in his 50s or 60s as his successor, and died within a few years.
The experience of the second room of Ji Mansion was thousands of times more miserable than that of Guan Suyi, and it was also another wound left in her heart. Seeing Ji Ting alive, she could hardly suppress the surging hatred in her heart, and walked over step by step.
At this time, someone else had already inquired about the situation and said contemptuously, "What are you kneeling for? He Li is about reconciling, but he even took away the children of his husband's family, and he also wanted to remarry with his daughter. He really lost his personal morality, how dare he have the face. beg?"
"Yeah. The husband only has a few concubines, why bother to the point of reconciliation? It is the mistress's responsibility to spread branches and leaves for the husband's family. If you can't have children, don't you allow concubines to have children? The husband's family If you have no heir, you will be blamed even if you die."
"There are always so many people in the world who deviate from the scriptures and end up doing it for themselves. Let's see, which man in Wei does not take concubines? If everyone is like you, wouldn't it be all messed up? If you can't even tolerate this, how can you still talk about how to raise a family and raise a family?"
"If you want to remarry, you can report it to Mrs. Ji, and she won't be able to see for you? She actually gave and accepted a private life with a lowly commoner, and privately agreed for life, and only sending you to the family temple is considered merciful! Come on! Get up, don't kneel, the husband's children should be returned to the husband's family, even if you say it is outrageous, it is not reasonable."
Ji Ting just kowtowed, choked and cried, "You can't give Yao'er back! Cuihong will kill her! Auntie, I beg you to save her! You can regret my marriage, or let me become a monk. , as long as you can save Yao'er, I'm willing to do anything!" She had a bloody wound on her forehead, blood mixed with tears, but she could not exchange the slightest sympathy from others.
These women, men, all looked at her with contempt, as if she had done something abhorrent. However, she just wanted to find a good home with her daughter. Is this wrong? She just wants to let her daughter grow up safely, is this wrong
The great despair and mourning took over her heart, and she almost fainted.
At this moment, Mrs. Ji took out a pamphlet from her sleeve and said slowly, "Our Ji family is also a Confucian family, and we know very well what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are. After a woman gets married, she should take her husband as the heaven, from the beginning to the end. You are the model of women's middle school and the head of women's virtues. You are not in the house, ask yourself to reconcile, this is the first sin; take away the children of the husband's family, and mess up the blood of the people, this is the second sin; Lifetime, this is the third crime. You are so sinful, why do you have the face to beg me? The reputation of my Ji family girl has ruined you. Come on, take her away quickly!" He raised his eyes to Guan Suyi , said in a low voice, "I also gave a copy of "The Ring of Women" to Miss Guan. Have you read it? If you have, do you think it's right or wrong for me to treat Ji Ting like this?"
Most of the people present were the young ladies, sons, and wives of Confucian families. If the Emperor Shifu wanted to marry, they could only choose from these families. If she answered incorrectly, she would immediately be attacked by a group; if she answered correctly, she would not want to remarry in the future, just be a nun. This question is extremely sinister, and the people around her are already showing cold and stern eyes, obviously they have classified her as an unchaste, immoral woman like Ji Ting, and she can't wait to be assigned.
Guan Suyi looked at Xu Yayan, who was standing outside the crowd, who looked extremely serene, and at Ji Chengyue, who was hiding in the crowd, her eyes dodging, and suddenly laughed lightly, "Mrs. Ji's move is a big mistake!"
The crowd suddenly shouted, and some people stood up to argue with her, but she was blocked by her sentence, "Don't be too busy to open your mouth to reveal your ignorance and ignorance. Today is right and wrong, even if I speak in detail, I am afraid you will also I don't understand. Jin Zi, Ming Lan, wait for the pen and ink."
She flicked her sleeves and sat down gracefully. Jin Zi immediately took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the package he carried with him, and flattened them one by one. Minglan poured some tea into the inkstone table to grind.
Seeing this, Xu Yayan walked in immediately and said coldly, "Miss Guan wants to attack me again? Don't you think that women should not respect their husbands, be filial to their in-laws, and be kind to their concubines? Some people are willing to be virtuous and virtuous, from the beginning to the end; I am willing to deviate from the classics and be uneasy in the house. Everyone has their own choices and ways of living. When you leave, do you think all women in the world should leave? You want to remarry, do you think all women in the world should remarry? Miss Guan, forgive me Let me bluntly say that this kind of thinking of yours is already heretical, so don’t talk about it any more!”
"I won't criticize women for the time being. I only refute you, women should not remarry." Guan Suyi glanced at her and wrote hard, but it was written in three quarters of an hour. Everyone was waiting to see her joke, but they didn't bother.
"Who claims to be farsighted? Come up and read." Her eyes were sharp and her expression solemn.
Ji Chengyue came up after hesitating for a moment, and said slowly, "The people are the foundation of the country, and without the people, there is no country. Therefore, the establishment of a country lies in nurturing the people, and the prosperity of a country lies in strengthening the people..."
This is entirely a policy argument based on the foundational policy of the country, not a slogan that everyone thinks. This article does not involve the content of the "Nv's Ring", but discusses the importance of women's remarriage from various aspects. At this time, it was the end of hundreds of years of war, and the continent of Kyushu, which had experienced the war, was already empty and empty. The men were captured and conscripted and died of swords, guns and horses; the women escaped the chaos and suffered huge casualties; Not only Wei State lacks people, Shuzhou lacks people, and the mainland of Shenzhou is broken everywhere and needs to be revitalized.
How to bring a scorched earth back to life? There is no other way but to breed. The soldiers took off their armor and went back to their hometowns to farm. Who doesn't want to beg a daughter-in-law and live and work in peace and contentment? However, the reality is that most of the young women died of military disasters, epidemics, and even exchanged food as two-legged sheep. Few women survived, and most were strong married women, but their husbands died on the battlefield, so that they were reduced to widows. The population decline is accompanied by an imbalance in the ratio of males and females. If women are strictly prohibited from remarrying, the population of Wei will decrease again and again within a decade, and it will eventually become a country without people.
If the people do not exist, how can they come to the country
This statement came to an end, and the article changed its tone again, from history, laws, and even the customs of the Jiuli people to express the importance of women's remarriage to the country's population growth. Whenever the mainland of Kyushu encountered a long-term war, after the founding of the country, the king would issue a decree to encourage women to marry and have children. This was determined by the special national conditions at that time, and it was also a major measure for population revival. According to historical records, if the parents do not marry at the age of seventeen, the chief officials will match them; it is also said that if the woman does not marry at the fifteenth year, the family will sit with her. It can be seen that if a woman does not marry, local officials can force her to marry, or even punish it as a crime, and set up official media to force men and women to marry. In order to revive the prestige of the Jiuli people, they have changed their customs. It has become a custom to report wives and stepmothers to widowers. Eventually, the population of the family is prosperous and it has regained its former glory.
The irrefutable evidence is listed one by one, and it is logical to conclude that the current state of Wei not only cannot prohibit women from remarrying, but also encourages women to remarry, so that they can raise more children, and at the same time raise the country destroyed by the war. Men are the sky and women are the earth. The sky is too high and the earth is as thick.
After reading an article, Ji Chengyue was blushing and embarrassed. The rest of the people are not fools. Guan Suyi has already explained it so superficially, how can you not understand it? Not to mention that she brought out the law to support her point of view, the marriage customs of the Jiuli people alone can make everyone shut up.
Xu Yayan was dripping with cold sweat, and her soul was split. Only then did she understand how her father felt when he was criticized by Guan Suyi for being incapacitated and on the verge of desperation. Is the emperor here? No, no, he must not come today!
Just thinking about this, there was a burst of applause outside the arena, and everyone turned to look, only to see Emperor Shengyuan and several officials standing under the flower stand, holding a child with red lips and white teeth, carved in pink and jade. "Mrs. is brilliant in writing and farsighted, she outnumbers men, not to mention a bunch of ignorant women!" he said word by word.
