peasant queen

Chapter 137
Jiang Wan said no, and asked Chu Yan to write one himself.The content is the same as last time.

Chu Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, after I go back and write it, someone will send it to you."

"No problem, remember to sign." Jiang Wan nodded.

After finishing the official business and getting the money, Jiang Wan planned to go home.

But Chu Yan didn't want to let her go just like that. He had a lot of things to do and finally saw Jiang Wan, so how could he just separate like this.

Besides, Jiang Wan still doesn't know his intentions!

Today I found out about this girl's special ability. If I don't hurry up and tie her by my side, what if someone else catches me first?
He heard a letter from Yinhuan saying that someone came to propose marriage.Although she has already refused, Jiang Wan will agree someday if Bao Buqi is in charge!

Thinking of this, Chu Yan couldn't sit still.He couldn't wait any longer, and today he just took this opportunity to express his feelings.

Whether she agrees or not, I have to leave an impression in her heart.

So, Chu Yan got up and came to Jiang Wan's side, looked her in the eyes and said, "The official business is over, now let's talk about private matters."

"Personal matter?" Jiang Wan said something because she didn't understand.

"Yes! Look into my eyes. I will only say this once. I hope you will listen carefully." Chu Yan said sincerely.

Jiang Wan was baffled by what he said, and she had a bad feeling.

Jiang Wan turned around and wanted to run, but Chu Yan grabbed her and said, "Don't go, and don't stun me. Listen to what I have to say before you make a decision."

Jiang Wan, who originally wanted to stun him, withdrew the ability after hearing Chu Yan's words.Then he said: "Okay, let go of your hands first."

Only then did Chu Yan let go of his hand, then looked at her and said, "Jiang Wan, I am happy with you."

"..."

Is this a confession?Didn't expect her mother to be single for more than 30 years, and she was confessed in this other world today?

This was Jiang Wan's first reaction, although she had been confessed to before.But that was before the apocalypse of the previous life, and it was almost a thousand years ago.

It was really sudden.

Although this confession was a bit sudden, Jiang Wan was still very proud in her heart.Look, my sister is still charming even after changing her skin.

However, pride is pride.

Jiang Wan is not planning to fall in love yet, she is only 14 years old now.A good life has just begun, and she doesn't want to tie the rest of her life to someone she's only met a few times.

Therefore, Jiang Wan refused and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your love. I am still young, and I have no plans to fall in love for the time being."

"fall in love?"

Seeing that Chu Yan couldn't understand, Jiang Wan patted her forehead and thought: Forget that this is ancient times, there is no word for love.

So he explained to Chu Yan: "It means getting in touch more and getting to know each other!"

"Oh! It's okay, I can wait."

"But, I don't plan to fall in love until I'm 25." Jiang Wan continued to refuse.

"You don't plan to get married at the age of 25? Do you know that Dongshang has a law that stipulates that if a 20-year-old unmarried woman will be married by the government?" Chu Yan said in surprise.

"What? Marriage by the government? All... to who?"

Jiang Wan was not surprised when she heard Chu Yan's words, but frightened.But Jiang Wan still wanted to ask clearly.

Chu Yan knew that Jiang Wan had been living in the countryside and might not have heard of the laws of Eastern Shang, so he explained this knowledge to her in detail.

It turns out that there are regulations in the laws of Dongshang.All Dongshang women must get married before, and those who have not yet married will file with the government.

These people either shave off their hair and get married, or marry during this time.

If they reach the age of 20, these women have neither become monks nor married.They will be rationed by the government to older youths without wives.

Of course, the government is not randomly assigned.They are also matched according to family background and age.

For example: if the father and brother are officials, there is a grade above the third grade, and a grade from the third grade to the seventh grade.

Daughters of these families rarely remain unmarried.However, it does not rule out special circumstances, such as those who have a bad reputation and are dismissed from marriage, and do not want to become a monk.

They will be rationed to those men who have high meritorious service and have no wives, or whose wives have died.Most of these men have official positions, but the official positions are not high.And most of them are generals.

Daughters who are below the third rank and above the seventh rank will be assigned to men who are one rank lower.For example: below the seventh rank, or a man who has no rank but has a public position.

The rest can be matched at will, as long as the man is over [-] years old, even if he has no wife.

As for those women who shaved their hair and went home, most of them built a small Buddhist hall in their own homes and practiced on their behalf.

There is no nunnery in Dongshang, but there used to be.It's just that those nuns died later, and those nuns disappeared.

Later, no one went to the nunnery to become a monk.

Common people do not have Buddhist temples in their homes, so basically no one becomes a monk.

After hearing Chu Yan's explanation, Jiang Wan's whole body is not well.Is there anything more ridiculous than this?Not getting married is not enough.

Jiang Wan didn't come back to her senses for a long time after hearing this, she was missing her modern life.

In the previous life, I was not married in my 30s, and no one said anything about her.Except for the reminders from parents during the Chinese New Year, who usually cares about you.

Later, the end times came.

Even living is not easy, who cares whether you get married or not!
I never thought that there would be such an inhumane law here.It's just...

Jiang Wan can't describe this kind of aggrieved, it's personal freedom to marry or not.How can it be forced?The officials who made the laws and the emperor did not consider women's feelings at all.

Also, all the emperors and officials are men.They don't think about what women think.

In the hearts of ancient men, women can only bear children.A woman who cannot bear children is useless.

Originally, Jiang Wan thought that this other world was no different from her previous world.

Anyway, she has superpowers and space, so she can live well no matter where she is.Now she doesn't think so. There is a thousand years of difference between the two, and there is still a big difference.

At least in terms of getting married, there are still big differences.

It's not that Jiang Wan is hypocritical, it would be unacceptable to any modern woman.Getting married and having children at the age of junior high school is a puppy love in the eyes of parents a thousand years later.

If you don't get married at the age of 20, you will be assigned to an old man who the government didn't know where to find.

Jiang Wan didn't know how to describe her current mood.She doesn't want to talk, she wants to be alone.

So, Jiang Wan said to Chu Yan: "I have to think about this matter carefully and go back first." After speaking, she ran away alone.

Let Yinhuan and Haitang chase after her.

But the martial arts of the two of them are not as good as Jiang Wan's, and they chased Jiang Wan away in just a short while.

Jiang Wan ran towards the village with Qinggong by herself, and the speed was getting faster and faster.In the end, it was so fast that passers-by could only see the shadow of the road.

Jiang Wan didn't go home, she ran to the mountain alone.

A person shuttled back and forth in the mountains and forests until he was too tired to get up.She was lying on a branch of a big tree, weeping silently.

At this moment, Jiang Wan was homesick and missed her parents.
