Dress up and fight!

Chapter 2721 The smart man who cheats (3)

Men are noble and clean, women are filthy.

Therefore, women have to use their own suffering in this life.To cultivate the chance to become a man in the next life.

Under the advocacy of Emperor Xingzheng, the whole country began to advocate women's chastity.

Not remarrying after her husband's death has become the basic standard for measuring a good woman.

If you become a widow, you have to keep festivals for your fiancé even more.

As a good woman, she must be flawless.

If the outsider saw anything, he would ask the other party to marry him.

Otherwise, the result would be either suicide or twisting her hair to become a sister-in-law.

If you kill yourself, you will be praised by the world.

But if they were aunts, from time to time someone would spit at the gate of the ancestral temple to show their disdain for them.

If the outsider does it deliberately, the man will be fined according to the status of the woman.

And for this amount of money, the man can use the woman's dowry to pay for it.

The only protection the law has for women is that after a man flirts with a woman, the fine he receives is doubled.

If you can't afford it, you have to pay with corvee.

At the same time, men and women are punished differently when they make mistakes.

Thirty rods for a man who steals.

The woman steals and cuts off her limbs.

When a man kills his wife, the rod is eighty.

The woman killed her husband and dragged her to Caishikou where she was tortured.

After a man divorces his wife, he can remarry the woman he likes.

After a woman is divorced, her natal family will be ashamed of them and will not accept them.

They will be sent to the family temple by their natal families, or driven out of the clan village after being cleansed, and eventually become refugees slowly.

Thanks to these rules, those local ruffians in Wei Dynasty all married women from good families.

And these women not only can't resist, but also carefully cater to the villain who occupied them, for fear of being abandoned by the other party.

If the other party only molested them but did not want to marry, then they would be imprisoned under the auspices of the clan elders.

Those who molested them would be punished with a fine of silver, and then they would be punished with ten punishments that were not painful.

After that, the matter will be over.

The reason is that there are so many women in the world, why don't they molest others, but why they want to molest you.

You must have given the wrong hint to the man.

And the men who do evil will only be severely punished under one circumstance, that is, when they cannot pay the fine.

For this fine money, men usually marry someone back home.

And waiting for women is another hell.

A man can divorce his wife three times,
For them, the luckiest thing in life is that their husband passed away early before divorcing his wife.

In this way, you don't have to worry about whether you will face the fate of being abandoned.

As for remarrying, it is basically impossible.

In such an environment, men can basically marry young and beautiful women they like.

In order to put women's chastity into practice.

As long as there are women in the same village or clan who have observed the festival for more than forty years, they can apply for a chastity memorial archway to stand at the entrance of the village.

After layers of submissions, this thing will eventually be sent to Emperor Xingzheng's imperial case.

After verification, Emperor Xingzheng will give a memorial arch down.

That was the only chance for Dousheng Xiaomin to interact with the rulers of the dynasty.

The deeds of the woman will be engraved on the archway for the world to sing.

Officials below the fifth rank should salute in front of the archway to show respect when they pass by.

Every year during the New Year's Eve, the magistrate of the government office will also send someone to clean up the stains around the archway.

While visiting the elders in the village, we will also check out other deeds of the women in the village.

Or, if something happens in this village that insults the chastity archway, they will report it to the higher authorities as soon as possible.

At that time, not only will the chastity archway be demolished, but the village will also be punished.

It can be said that the chaste archway is a symbol of clan glory.

In order to keep the chaste archway in the village, the clan elders further strengthened the already strict rules.

Under their management, countless virgins and martyrs appeared in Wei Dynasty.

And Jin Qing's client, Wu Xingniang, is an unlucky cannon fodder, but her situation is a bit special, because she really lost Qingbai.

With the Yellow River as the boundary, the Great Wei State was divided into two regions, the North and the South.

The south is rich and prosperous. After everyone stopped worrying about food and clothing, they tried every means to torture women.

While the north is close to foreigners, although women's chastity is also valued, it is much more tolerant than the south.

Wu Xingniang is beautiful and beautiful. She grew up under the chastity archway in the village and received brainwashing education in the village.

All along, she didn't think there was any problem with such a law until she encountered such a thing herself.

This place is called Wujia Village, and the village lives by the sea.

The sea is windy, and when the tide rises and falls, there are always a lot of seafood floating on the coast.

Although not rich, but can barely support themselves.

It's a pity that these things can't be kept for a long time, and they can't be shipped out. They can only be kept for their own consumption.

Whenever the tide falls, the villagers will carry big baskets to the beach to pick up seafood to eat.

Wu Xingniang's father, Wu Laoer, is such a diligent person.

In order to pick up more things, Wu Laoer went earlier than the others every time.

Who would have thought that a person would be picked up once.

The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, well dressed but seriously injured, lying on the shore so dying.

Wu Lao Er was originally an honest person, so there is no reason not to save the injured when he sees the injured.

Immediately carry the person back.

That man was also very fateful, after taking a few mouthfuls of hot soup, he actually recovered.

The turning point in Wu Xingniang's life also started here.

Everyone knew that Wu Lao Er saved someone, and the village head and clan elders came to check immediately.

But when they saw that the other party was a man, the faces of the clan elders instantly turned green.

Wu's second son is an extinct accountant, and there is only one daughter in the family, and there is no son.

Leaving a foreigner at home at this time, if something happens, the archway in this village will not be able to stand.

Thinking of this, the clan elder immediately ordered Wu Er Er to drive the young man away.

Unexpectedly, that person was also a perceptive one, sensing the embarrassment of the savior, he immediately revealed his identity.

It turned out that this man's name was Mei Liangjun, the only son of General Dingbei of the current dynasty, and the sixth rank Yunqiwei of the imperial court, who guarded the border with his father all the year round.

In order to hunt down a group of bandits, he led soldiers and horses all the way from the border to the vicinity of Wujia Village.

In the end, although all the villains were beheaded, he himself accidentally fell into the water, and fortunately he was picked up by Wu Laoer.

This story made the people of Wujia Village feel awe, but what made them admire even more was yet to come.

After knowing the rules of Wujiacun, Mei Liangjun admired the patriarch of Wujiacun very much, and immediately stated that he has not yet married.

In order not to spoil Wu Xingniang's reputation, it is even more important to repay Wu's second child for saving his life.

He is willing to marry Wu Xingniang as his wife.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole village was shocked.

Everyone not only praised Mei Liangjun's righteousness, but also envied the good luck of Wu's family.

For a time, this incident became a good story in Shili Baxiang.

Wu Xingniang has a gentle temperament, although her fiancé seems to have fallen from the sky.

But now that she's engaged, she's not going out anymore, she is embroidering her wedding dress at home with peace of mind, waiting for the day when she leaves the court.
