One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Five: Fa Xu Pei, the First Princes to Kill (35)
In his previous life, he had nothing to do with Bai Yuexia, but he also knew that Bai Yuexia had a mysterious liking and closeness to His Majesty.
The way Bai Yuexia looked at His Majesty always made him unhappy.
Looking back now, that look not only has admiration and admiration, but also has a deeper meaning.
Wei Ci's expression didn't change, but there was a turmoil in his heart.
Bo Ning laughed and said, "Axia is good in everything except her looks, she deserves to be the best man in the world!"
After all, Bo Ning hinted at Wei Ci with his eyes——
Do you want to change your mind and marry his daughter?
Wei Ci smiled awkwardly, "Bo Yishi is right, Mrs. Bai will definitely find the best husband-in-law in the future."
If it was before, Wei Ci would definitely not be worried.
Ever since he knew the origin of his lord, he has become a bit more flexible.
The protagonist's background is mysterious, and the atmosphere in her previous life must have been very open. That's why she regards masculinity as normal.
So--
Wei Ci couldn't help but wonder.
Masculinity is normal, so is female demeanor also normal?
Thinking of this, he felt that the pressure on his shoulders suddenly became much heavier.
Opening the door to the new world, Wei Ci turned his head and thought about it again, he found that he was surrounded by rivals in love!
Among the huge rivals in love, Bai Yuexia is the most threatening one.
If he gets angry, Wei Ci feels that he can't beat her.
In her previous life, Bai Yuexia was a very low-key woman, but no matter how low-key she was, it could not conceal that she stood in the imperial court as a woman. She was an official to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and a few years later, she paid homage to Jinlintai. Before retiring, she painted a portrait of herself The sturdy woman who was sent to the Golden Scale Pavilion Tiangong List!
Judging from the Jinlin Pavilion Civil, Military and Tiangong Three Lists, Wei Ci, who didn't even have a ranking in his previous life, is under a lot of pressure.
Afterwards, His Majesty proposed the policy of "one household, two households", and Bai Yuexia was also the first in the court to stand up and support it.
In comparison, Wei Ci was wary of the forces in the court, so he reacted a bit slower, unlike Bai Yuexia who put all his eggs in one basket.
What is "one family, two households"?
To put it bluntly, there are two heads of household allowed in a family.
Children born to a woman can inherit both the mother's family property and the father's family property, and the child's surname and household registration can be decided through negotiation.
Many officials thought that this policy was specially established for the long-term survival of the empress.
At the beginning of the proposal, there was almost no opposition.
If you oppose "one family, two households", wouldn't it mean that supporting the empress in disguise is like ordinary women and children, who marry their husbands and follow their husbands?
This is no nonsense!
Whoever opposes it will have his brains in the sea!
However, this is just mediocrity. Wei Ci is very clear that "one household, two households" is actually to support the female household system.
After the establishment of the Jiang Dynasty, the world was at peace, women had fewer and fewer independent families, and in some places there was a trend of contempt for female households.
It's not that women don't want to set up a female household, it's just because there are too few good men who are willing to marry in, and the pressure to establish a female household is too great.
Many women can only choose to compromise.
Even if they are married and earn more money, their income can only be called "subsidizing the family" rather than "supporting the family".
In order to solve this situation, His Majesty put forward a proposal of two heads of household, and established a series of new marriage laws.
Starting from the new law, Jiang Chao has a clear concept of "common property of husband and wife after marriage".
Of course, the concubine's room and concubine's children are not considered "common property", and their daily expenses and future marriage and residence are only managed by the man.
This point made the majority of the main room applaud, and they were even more grateful to His Majesty.
You must know that before this system was launched, many wives not only had to help their husbands take care of the family property and house, but also took care of the living expenses and various trivial matters of those concubines and concubines and concubines. The main wife can't even defend the interests of herself and her children.
Although "one family, two households" is to maintain the continued existence of the Empress, they are also beneficiaries of the new law.
At first, the men of the Jiang Dynasty didn't care about this new law, anyway, they didn't covet their wives' money.
Even if someone is really greedy for his wife's dowry, who has the face to say it.
The imperial court promulgated laws to defend the empress's royal family and the royal family,
There's nothing wrong with that.
However--
It didn't take long for many men to quarrel. They couldn't stand this kind of grievance.
There is a story that Wei Ci remembers deeply.
A certain official pays a high monthly salary to hire the main wife to take care of the sons and daughters and a house of concubines.
That's right, the husband paid for the wife's help in taking care of the concubine's room and the concubine's children!
According to the laws of the Jiang Dynasty, concubines cannot interfere with the authority of housekeepers through business. Fortunately for the people, if it is discovered that the concubine's room has taken over the rights of the main family, the reputation will be bad if it is spread out.
Self-cultivation, governing the family, governing the country and the world, even the house is in a mess, don't understand orthodoxy, and be a fart official.
If the main family doesn't care about the concubines and concubines and concubines in that room, then the husband can only take care of it.
Go out to earn money and go to work during the day, and when you come back at night, you have to settle the rouge, gouache, and cloth materials for the concubine's room——
Men quit!
Many courtiers took advantage of this to make trouble. Since ancient times, the man is in charge of the outside and the woman is in charge of the house. Concubines and concubine children are also the responsibility of the wife!
As a result, he was severely beaten by His Majesty and the nobles of the aristocratic family, and soon there was no movement.
Jiang Chaoxinli, those concubines are mostly upstarts or poor families who have gained power.
Once they gain power, they become rampant, throwing out their first-cousin wives or neglecting their wives, and there are many poor families who take beautiful concubines.
The family has been passed down for a long time, and they have always claimed to be supporters of orthodoxy, and there are strict rules for taking concubines. For them, the new policy did not lose much benefit, but the poor families and the upstarts jumped in various ways, and the nobles of the aristocratic families took advantage of this to stand on His Majesty's side to suppress the poor families.
Bai Yuexia, as the head of the female officer group, is the direction and role model for all women to work hard.
She implemented the new law and played a very good leading role.
There is a son and a daughter under her knees, the son follows her husband, and the daughter follows her.
Bai Yuexia's son is not very capable, but her daughter is different, and has become the most useful confidant around the princess Jiang Yan.
Intellectually speaking, Wei Ci admired Bai Yuexia very much. When the world despises women, she has reached such a high level, which is hard to come by. From an emotional point of view, Wei Ci really can't force himself to like Bai Yuexia, it would be good if he didn't regard her as a rival in love.
But if time goes back, he will still come to recruit Bo Ning.
After all, the lord's interests are the most important, and the children's affair is just a side story.
"Listen to this, Mrs. Bai respects my lord very much."
Wei Ci smiled warmly, like a spring flower quietly blooming, romantic and warm.
Bai Yuexia spoke quickly and authentically, "The way of the world treats women so unfairly, but Mr. Lanting has still reached the point where everyone can hardly hold a candle to him. Isn't he a role model for all women in the world? The little girl has admired her for a long time. In a moment of excitement, she made the husband laugh Thanks to Lord Lanting for not giving up, if my father can become an official and serve him, calm the world and clarify Yuyu, it will be a blessing for us, father and daughter!"
Wei Ci: "..."
I just wanted to recruit your father, not counting you——
He wants to be quiet!
