Chapter 86: The Prodigal Son and the Tick Column

To put it bluntly, it is not the low status of women, but the low status of the poor.

And the status of the poor is low, it has nothing to do with which dynasty, after all, the general environment is like this, it is still difficult to turn over, even if history and society progress for a few hundred years, I am afraid that the status of the toiling masses will still not have any substantial improvement, and will be at the bottom of the food chain......

For example, modern people, if they don't have money, even if they have a good river, they have nothing to do with you. No, that's someone else's game.

I'm sorry, you can only go to the TV or hold your phone, and watch soap variety shows after work.

In this life, you are just a line between work, family, and school, and you can't go anywhere.

What makes us stronger than the ancients lies in the rapid development of material civilization, the richness and diversification of spiritual civilization, and more importantly, we have broken free from the shackles of those old rituals and religions that kill people without paying for their lives, and kill people without seeing blood......

This is the happiness and advantage of modern people.

The reason for this, in the final analysis, is not that the status of women in ancient times was low, but that the status of women who could not control their economic lifeline was really low......

No money, no status, the world has always been like this.

Speaking of the Northern Song Dynasty, the overall status of women in the Northern Song Dynasty is much higher than we imagined, and it is not as humble and low as people think, why, it is because the widely criticized Song Dynasty was the first to break the fang market street and promote commercial trade, so that women can no longer be blindly "bound" at home just to do housework and take care of children, they have a broader world, they can rely on barter, or work to make a living independently!

At this time, showing up is nothing at all, people don't think it's too immoral, it's not strange to see it for a long time, and relying on their own abundant food and clothing, and even women with the same sense of autonomy as modern women are gradually increasing, people's awakening has always been linked to money and economy, just as the old saying goes: wine is strong and instigating, food increases the popularity of the poor, only when you are full, warmly dressed, and have spare money in your pocket, this is the confidence, after having confidence, the waist can be straight, and you dare to speak louder......

Otherwise, all rights and equality are empty talk!

There are two important places where the high status of women in the Northern Song Dynasty is reflected in: first, there is the right to inherit at home, and the family in the Song Dynasty is divided, according to the customs and laws of the time, a part of the property should be given to the daughter, "in the law: the parents are dead, the children share the property, and the woman gets half of the man", this part of the property, the amount is generally half of the brother's income, usually called "inheritance", that is, the property given to the daughter in the name of dowry, so that the daughter can enter the door and live a decent life when she marries into her husband's family in the future, so as not to be looked down upon……

Second, they have quite the right to choose a husband and remarry, such as a dowry, the Song people marry a woman just like a modern person's wife, and the modern person usually marries a man to prove his economic strength, to have a car and a house, and the dowry has to be a small tens of thousands, while the Song people marry a woman is just the opposite, and the woman prepares a large amount of dowry to prove their strength.

According to common sense, this woman's family is not at a big loss, and the water spilled by the daughter who married out is once she marries out, and once she marries out, she is someone else's family, how can there be any reason to rush the money to her husband's house and send it over?

This is because the law of the Song Dynasty stipulates that if a woman remarries, the dowry will be given to her, and if she wants to take it away, she can take it all away, and it has nothing to do with her husband's family, and her husband's family must not stop it.

Moreover, in the days when she married into her husband's family, the dowry that the woman brought over had the right to control, which could not only make it difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice at a critical moment, and reflect her importance and value in the husband's family, but also lock it up and keep it, just don't use it......

If a man uses it privately, he will be despised by people, which is a bit like the fact that modern men who eat soft rice are looked down upon......

Because of this, women are financially independent. With economic independence, there is naturally the so-called women's rights.

On the contrary, if the daughter gets married, if the parents really hold the idea of the water spilled by the married daughter, they just leave it alone, then if the daughter has a bad life in her husband's house in the future, and she feels that her mother's family is unable to help or will not help, then it is really a bitter ......

……

……

There were more and more guests, and Wu Zhi didn't have time to investigate the matter of foot binding, so he hurriedly went down and brought them to the tables of the diners one by one.

The noodle army began to act, and the sound of the whole courtyard sounded, like a multiple song played by many people, although it was not neat, but there was a rhythm, and every sound witnessed the healing brought by the food, whether it was physical or mental, after eating, I felt relaxed and happy.

The table of the Zhao family is the most lively. Zhao Qi's son was very curious, he also wanted to eat, he also wanted to try it, adding chili peppers for a while, pouring vinegar for a while, dripping condiments all over the table, and Zhao Qi was so anxious that he kept reprimanding......

But Cheng Laohu and the fat and thin brothers laughed, and the three of them kept instigating Zhao Qi's son to add more chili peppers, but the little thing was so spicy that he couldn't stand it, and he was afraid, his mouth was flattened, and the tears immediately fell down......

When the two men walked into the hall, everyone couldn't help but look up at them one after another, because they smelled a strong fragrance......

It is fat powder flavor.

It's a woman.

A good-looking woman.

In fact, in terms of posture alone, people are only a little stronger than Zhao Qi's wife, but in other aspects, they are a little younger than Zhao Qi's wife, they dress a little more revealing than Zhao Qi's wife, they walk a little more swaying than Zhao Qi's wife, and their eyes are a little more seductive than Zhao Qi's wife......

Together, the wives of Zhao Qi and others are no match for the comers, because people are showing off their amorous feelings, but they belong to good people.

The eyes of the lover are to hide from people, unlike this woman, who will seduce people naked, as if everyone is not wearing pants.

Moreover, Zhao Qi's wife swayed her legs when she walked, and this woman swayed her ass X strands. No, it's from the legs all the way to the butt x strands.

The two of them turned around, the man frowned, and immediately shouted loudly: ", why don't you even have a deputy head?" ”

Li Zhong hurriedly leaned over and said with a smile: "Guest officer, business is good today, this time is the peak of eating noodles in the evening, and the forty seats are all full, you wait a while, and you will turn over immediately......"

"Uncle, I can't wait. Tell someone to make a clean table for me! ”

"Yes yes yes wait a minute......"

Although Li Zhong verbally agreed, it was out of politeness, how could he really drive the diners who were eating noodles away.
