At this moment, this woman looks like a pear blossom with rain, and I see a pitiful look.

After the fourth master's gaze looked at the woman's face for a few seconds, he said in a light tone: "What's your name." ”

Hearing this, the woman's face turned red.

Because in ancient times, when a man asked a woman's name, it was a shy and thought-provoking thing.

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave has no name, because he was born a pariah, and Mama gave him a stage name and called Yao Ji."

It was probably the woman's answer that made the fourth master dissatisfied.

His brow furrowed imperceptibly, "What's the last name." ”

Yao Ji was too shy to look at the fourth master.

Therefore, he didn't know the facial expressions of the fourth master at all.

only replied shyly and timidly: "The slave was originally surnamed Gu, the ancient rhyme of Gu." ”

"But the Gu family who used to be a military attaché?" The fourth master asked.

"Back to the emperor, exactly."

I only heard the fourth master's faint "um", "The Gu family used to be a famous local loyal and martial family. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's praise." Seeing that she had received a response from her own home, Yao Ji was also quite proud in her heart.

At the same time, she immediately put on a pitiful look, and said aggrievedly: "It's a pity that because of the word loyalty back then, now I have become a pariahs for generations, and I still ......."

"Okay, I know everything, you all step down, starting tomorrow, you don't have to come to the Heart Cultivation Hall again." The fourth master didn't wait for Yao Ji to finish speaking, and then interrupted.

As a result, Yao Ji had to swallow the words in her mouth.

The eyes were wide open, full of shock and incredulity.

"Your Majesty......" She hasn't gotten the answer she wants, and she doesn't seem to want to leave.

Seeing this, the fourth master frowned, and his eyes became sharp.

They are low-status prostitutes, and they are very good at observing words and feelings.

Seeing that the fourth master's face was wrong, he had to get up and go out one after another.

Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yao Ji looked annoyed, and asked the little sister on the side: "Did I say something wrong, otherwise why didn't the emperor let us come to the Heart Cultivation Palace, does it mean that he will never summon us again?" ”

"No, Sister Yao, I think what you just said is very good, if you weren't bold enough to speak, how dare we follow you." As for not summoning again, it may be a good thing. ”

"Yes, Sister Yao, don't think too much, maybe the emperor will be very busy next, or he has other ideas."

"I think you're right, you must have other ideas, I didn't look at the emperor and stared at Sister Yao, and asked her family and name, maybe I wanted to include Sister Yao in the harem."

"That's it, otherwise why didn't you ask Sister Yao alone, but she didn't ask us."

"Guess what, will Sister Yao become the emperor's promise at that time?"

"I think Sister Yao is at least a nobleman."

"Maybe it's still a concubine."

A few prostitutes gathered around, laughing and quipping.

"You, don't talk nonsense here, be careful that the nobles in the palace hear it." Only Yaoji blushed and replied embarrassedly.

"Let's not talk nonsense, Sister Yao, with your beauty and artistic ability, are there still fewer men who are defeated under your pomegranate skirt, which man sees you, isn't his soul hooked, so ah, please can you have a little confidence in yourself."

"But he is the emperor, not an ordinary man." Yao Ji said.

"What's wrong with the emperor, the emperor is also a man, and he is more powerful than ordinary men, maybe he likes you more. Otherwise, these days, why do you call us every day to listen to music? ”

"That's right, in my opinion, Sister Yao is waiting for good news these days."

"Okay, don't talk about it, nod your tongue carefully, this is in the Forbidden City." Yao Ji cautiously glanced around and instructed.

But the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of girlish shyness, and her heart ripples when she looks at it.

"Also, didn't Grandpa Su say that next month is the Queen Mother's birthday, let's rehearse well after we go back. Maybe the emperor also didn't let us enter the palace because of this. ”

A group of women who were warblers and swallows, talking all the way, left the Forbidden City.

Three days later, the fourth master, who had been facing the court earlier, issued two holy decrees.

"Pressing the good is cheap, and it is the maladministration of the previous dynasty. Nowadays, the people of Daqing have become customs, and courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are the first, and it seems that this is an immoral thing, and it is urgent to get rid of it. Therefore, he removed the lowly nationality of the mountain and Shaanxi Jiaofang, and changed his business to a good citizen. Allow the untouchables of the Shanxi and Shaanxi generations to change their careers and become good. ”

The fourth master bowed his head under the hall, and his voice was like a bell: "In addition, it is necessary to get rid of the musicians of the Jingzhong Teaching Workshop and change it to the Harmony Department, and select a good person who is proficient in music to be the musician of the Harmony Department and engage in performance." ”

Regarding the elimination of the music book, a month earlier, an official in the imperial court wrote a letter requesting the matter.

At that time, many officials discussed it together and felt that it was feasible.

Therefore, after hearing this, the civil and military officials were not surprised, and they all agreed.

In this way, the musicians of the Teaching Workshop Division changed their nationality and became the official occupation of the beloved.

The Department of Education and Workshops was also renamed the Department of Harmony.

Because the original Jiaofang Division in Beijing was all the daughters of those who were raided.

To put it bluntly, it is an official, a party, a brothel, and a hospital!

There are not ordinary people inside, but women with heads and faces.

Because the family committed something, he went to the Teaching Workshop Division, the public officials and the son-in-law for recreation.

At this moment, a local official at the bottom proposed: "Your Majesty, there are also the fallen people of Shaoxing, the companions of Huizhou, the servants of Ningguofu, the Shuhu of Guangdong, the beggars of Suzhou, etc., they are listed as the four people (private households, military households, merchants, and stove households), and they have been deprived of all kinds of rights and suffered from social discrimination. The occupations of the four peoples, they cannot set foot in. Nor can they enjoy the regular clothes worn by the four peoples. ”

These were not talked about when the imperial court reconsidered.

Even the civil and military officials below have only heard about it and have never understood it.

Therefore, they thought that the fourth master would order someone to investigate and then make a decision.

Who knew that the fourth master let out a faint "um" and said: "The existence of untouchables has seriously constrained the development of the productive forces of the Qing Dynasty, and has also affected innocent people. Especially in recent years, there have been many untouchables who have been fighting and resisting because of the oppression of their status. In order to alleviate social contradictions and stabilize order, I decided to eliminate the beggars of Shaoxing, the companions of the Huizhou Mansion in Jiangnan, the servants of the Ningguo Mansion, the household registration of the Guangdong Shu, the Changshu of Suzhou Prefecture, and the household registration of the beggars in Zhaowen County. ”

"Your Majesty, it would be a good thing to eliminate cheap status, but the slave dared to suggest, should you order someone to go to the local area to find out first." An official cautioned.
