Although they all agreed, Xue Lao Er still didn't seem very willing, but turned his head to ask Xue Langjing, who had been hiding in a bunch with his sisters silently, as if he wanted to hear her opinion, "Xiaolang, what do you think, it's your business, and you have to decide whether you agree or not." ”

Xue Langjing, who was taken so seriously for the first time, only lowered her head, "I, I don't know, I can't eat, I'm hungry, I don't have the strength to work, and I can't shoot many prey." ”

It seems that she was starved in the past, she doesn't care much about what they talk about, she only cares about whether she can eat enough, and she is obviously not a person who can make decisions on her own.

Realizing that this family can only rely on this granddaughter to raise Mrs. Xue hurriedly spoke to appease, "If you can eat enough, you can eat enough, this family will definitely let you be in charge in the future, no one can starve you if you are hungry, and you will definitely be able to eat enough." ”

For this granddaughter who was regarded as a mustard in the past, Mrs. Xue's attitude is completely changed now, anyway, no matter whether she wants a grandson in the future, at least for the moment, as far as their family is concerned, the old and weak women and children, how can they rely on her to support the past, as for the grandson, slowly think of a way, and coax her first.

Shen Shi, who was afraid of her opposition, also appeased, "Yes, no one can starve you if they are hungry." ”

"But I eat too much."

"It's okay to eat more, let's just make more."

"Yes, you can't miss it."

。。。。。。

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept reassuring her, and finally let her eliminate the worry that she was still afraid of not having enough to eat.

When the matter was settled, Boss Xue hesitated a little, "It is said that the success rate of this woman taking the Spiritual Elixir is extremely low, and our family's silver is not much, isn't it too risky?" Anyway, at present, Xiaoba's hunting ability is still good, in addition to buying food, let's buy all the money for land, and we can buy an extra acre, I will have more strength to go to the field to farm, and the second child will go to the town to work, is it safer? ”

After he said this, other people obviously began to hesitate, what he said seemed to make sense, such a low success rate, it costs five taels of silver, isn't it too risky?

Seeing that everyone was also hesitating, Xue Yuhe, who was interrupted by careful thinking, immediately told them the secret news he had heard.

It turns out that in fact, the success rate of men and women is different, it is very likely to be fake, when he was working in the Li family in the town before, he overheard the master of the Li family talking to people.

Didn't someone in the Li family have been a big official during the Wuzong period, according to that person's meaning, in fact, there is no difference in success rate at all, which is deliberately made up by the imperial court.

At the beginning, Wen Zongzi was thin, and there was only one prince under his knees, and the eldest princess who happened to be the same mother as the prince was a capable person, and the spirit was successful, and the war with Fanbang continued one after another, and Emperor Wen let the eldest princess join the army.

I didn't think that the eldest princess was not weak in civil and martial arts, it can be said that she was both civil and military, and after defeating Fanbang, Emperor Wen intended to cultivate her, so that she could assist the somewhat weak Qing prince in the future.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince of Qing was thin, and he was unexpectedly killed, the only prince died, and Wenzong planned to let the eldest princess succeed to the throne, after all, he had no other heirs who could inherit his throne, and she was not only capable, but also the eldest princess with the purest blood, of course, there was an advantage that no one else had, her concubine was a member of the Zheng family.

Although the Zheng family has such a family rule, those who are recruited do not belong to the Zheng family, but the heavenly family is the heavenly family after all, as long as the concubine is the Zheng family, and there is this relationship, they will have a reason to let the Zheng family contribute to the country.

With the huge financial resources of the Zheng family to fill the treasury, and an emperor who was good at both civil and martial arts, Wenzong was very confident that the state of Chu would recreate the glory of the Renzong period.

It's a pity that even if the status of women has improved a lot since the founding of the Chu State, how can the long-term idea of male superiority and inferiority of women be so easy to change, the identity of the eldest princess woman is destined to be the same as Zheng Wen, and it is not allowed to be in the eyes of the family and the court ministers and even the common people who pay attention to etiquette and religion, plus the King of Liang at that time also held military power in his hands, and Chu Wuzong, who was still the son of King Liang at that time, was also ambitious.

One side has been unanimously recognized by the government and the opposition, and it also holds military power.

On the other hand, although there is Wenzong's edict to pass on the throne, after all, Wenzong has not been trained as the heir to the throne since she was a child, and she has not been trained enough to have a team.

When the two sides are compared, the result can be imagined.

In the end, Chu Wuzong, who won the victory and ascended the throne, beheaded all the eldest princess's family on the grounds of trying to seize the throne with a false edict, and made the Zheng family pay a huge amount of property on the grounds that the clan participated in the rebellion, although it did not completely defeat the Zheng family, but it also made them suffer a lot of vitality, and they did not recover to the peak of the Zheng family for decades.

If it weren't for the courtiers' opposition on the grounds that the court needed the Zheng Merchant to stabilize the price of grain for the people for a long time and provide military supplies, and there was the Nadan Book Iron Coupon, the Zheng Merchant would have disappeared from the history of the Chu State since then.

Not only did the Zheng firm suffer, but after Chu Wuzong ascended the throne, the female barracks of the Chu army, whether they were soldiers or generals, were expelled from the barracks, and the recruitment of female soldiers, which had been implemented since the founding of the Chu State, was completely abolished, and women were no longer allowed to enter the barracks.

At the same time, it was also from that time that the imperial court found that the success rate of female ability enlightenment was extremely low, and the people also hyped it, and later canceled the preferential treatment for women on the grounds of wasting national strength.

After the unanimous determination of the government and the opposition, ordinary people who did not know the truth naturally believed this, and even if there were some who did not believe it at the beginning, with the propaganda from generation to generation, the truth was gradually drowned out by falsehood.

Since the success rate is so low and the price is expensive, it is natural that the families of later female capable people will not buy the elixir for them.

It's just that there are many families without male heirs among the people, and with the wars with Fanbang continue to become more frequent, and become more and more intense, the number of soldiers who need to be recruited is also increasing, coupled with the sudden lack of female soldiers, which has led to a significant increase in the proportion of adult men recruited as soldiers in each family, and even reached an unprecedented level since the founding of Emperor Gaozu. The number of families who have lost their only child has also increased dramatically.

Without incense, only daughters, they can only recruit money, and those families with female abilities who need to recruit money want to train a daughter to buy a spiritual potion but need to pay a huge cost, can they not make trouble.

If there is a lot of trouble, the court has to pay attention to it, and then there is the childless article that the Xue family said.

It's not just the Li family's mentioned matter during the Wuzong period, as far as their Li family's own family, there have been two women with the ability to enlighten the spirit, and they all succeeded, which also made them believe that the low success rate of women is a lie.

After Xue Yuhe's explanation, everyone in the Xue family also believed it, and no longer hesitated about five taels of silver.

After everyone discussed, Old Man Xue finally made a decision, "Okay, then it's decided, tomorrow the eldest and second will go to the Jiang family and the Liu family for a trip and withdraw from the two marriages." It's getting late, big girl and two girls, you take Xiao, Xiaolang, go and clean up your things, the firewood room can't live, let her live in your brother's bedroom, anyway, his things have been packed out, just right for Xiaolang to live, others go to make dinner, remember to make as much as possible, even if you can't eat it, you can eat it tomorrow. ”

Old man Xue and they don't pay attention to these girls, so they usually call them by rank, but at this time, in order to show that they value her, they naturally have to change their words.

It is said that this shabby, small and full of miscellaneous firewood room could not be Xue Lang's turn to live quietly, just because Xue Boqing didn't like her for some reason, and under the reason that his five sisters couldn't live in a room, everyone in the Xue family who responded to his needs naturally drove her to live in the firewood room.

After that, everyone cooked the rice, and Xue Linjing and Xue Shanjing took Xue Langjing to clean up her things.
