Not only are women subjected to daily mental and physical torture, but there is an even more heart-rending torture that awaits them.

In ancient times, although there were birth control drugs, some men or women who did not want to have children could not have children.

However, this medicine is not safe and will affect the appearance and physique of the person taking the medicine, so the general teaching department will not prepare these drugs for women.

There is no timely prevention every day, so women often get pregnant.

Originally, being a mother is the happiest thing for a woman, which means that her bloodline has been continued, and she can have one more person who is completely intimate with her in the future.

But for the women of the Church Division, children have become their biggest nightmare. According to the regulations, the children of ** are either sent to the palace as miscellaneous eunuchs or the future**, and they have already decided the future from birth.

Therefore, women often secretly abort or strangle their daughters directly after giving birth, so as not to suffer the same life as themselves in the future.

Originally, this kind of person cannot be counted as a free person, cannot have his own household registration, and cannot be counted

"Vegetable household". Not only are these people not free and not allowed to get a household registration, but a person who does not have a household registration is a black household, and they cannot be protected.

These people are almost as slaves as slaves, and they are the people who live at the bottom of society. I don't know since when, there is a new level called

"Vegetable household". The so-called

"Vegetable households" are actually the lowliest free people, who do not have their own real estate or property, and are almost like beggars.

The difference between them and slaves is that slaves have masters, and they don't even have masters to eat and drink. Therefore, as long as the slave does not resist, he will generally not starve to death, and the master will always give the slave some food in order to make the slave work.

If the "vegetable households" can't find a job to do and have nothing to eat or drink, they have to wait for death.

As for

There are roughly several types of origins of "vegetable households", and the first type is the elderly. These ** are not women in the Teaching Division, or they have left the Teaching Division, they can't create value for **, so they are driven out by a few yuan**.

In order to survive, they went it alone

"Private prostitutes", due to the lack of management, some old ** even old clam shengzhu have children. Because they are gone, their children can be not only eunuchs or **.

But they can't go to school and do things like normal children, let alone become officers and soldiers. They became the people at the bottom of society, and they were later collectively called

"Vegetable household". The second type of people are those who have married **, and their descendants can only be

"Vegetable household". In ancient times, there was a lot of attention paid to the hierarchy of the family, the so-called

"The government and the people do not marry, and the good and the poor do not marry." It means that the official eunuchs cannot marry the children of ordinary people, and the good people cannot marry lowly people.

This is a rule set as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Originally, ** could not be married, they could only be men's dolls, not other people's wives.

But there are exceptions, a wealthy businessman or an official who takes a fancy to a ** will buy it**.

A girl or woman is bought and sold like a piece of goods, and it becomes not only a good but also a gift that everyone loves.

Because of such a thing, the government is worried that the children born by ** will become the descendants of wealthy businessmen or official eunuchs in the future, so it is stipulated that the children born of ** not only cannot inherit the family property, but also cannot be regarded as nobles, and must be isolated and left to fend for themselves.

Over time, every place has an area where such people can fend for themselves, and this is the later

The place where the "vegetable households" live together is their rare home. There is one more category

The descendants of the "outcast". The so-called

An "outcast" is a person who is a prisoner of war or an outcast by his family. Prisoners of war were enemy soldiers who had been captured during the fighting between the two sides and were forced to work as a handyman in the army far from their homeland.

They can't go home and can't enjoy civilian treatment, so they have to wander in the army or among the people. But they are also men and also need women, so they have to find some ** that no one wants.

These old ** need these men to protect themselves, and they also want to get some respect from these people, so they are willing to marry them as wives.

Their descendants are the most authentic

"Vegetable households" are not only prisoners of war, but also some released criminals and poor people with disabilities, they are also the objects of consideration for the old **.

Some people who have been bandits or murderers for half their lives have been imprisoned for more than ten or twenty years. After coming out, there were no relatives, so I had to be a wanderer, wandering everywhere and causing trouble.

If you can't run or get bored, you can find a random woman to start a family. People with disabilities suffer even more, as they are abandoned by their parents because of their disabilities at birth.

Some of them were raised by the old **, some of them were brought over by themselves, and more died on the way to growth.

These people have problems in their lives, and of course they can't find a normal woman to start a family, so the old ** has become their only object of consideration.

"Vegetable households" are not allowed to do business, be literate, farm, or serve as officials or soldiers, which is a regulation of the government.

So

The "vegetable households" had to do odd jobs in exchange for insufficient food, clothing, and materials to barely survive. In the event of a famine or war, they are always the first to be unlucky.

And also

"Vegetable households" cannot leave the city where they are located casually, and they must be requisitioned when something happens. What do they dare to do?

Of course it won't be a good thing. For example, when the palace needs to hold a banquet, these people are needed to be handymen.

There are also large families when they die, and they need to cry and mourn as filial sons. There are also thankless tasks that need to be done by these people as well.

There will be no reward for doing these things, and they dare not ask the government for it. The government will take care of their three meals at most, and let them eat a full meal.

When the palace maid was eight years old, she entered the palace with a group of boys with the same status. These people are the candidates for miscellaneous eunuchs, and when there is a shortage of people in the palace, they are the first to come to mind.

The palace maid's mother is an old ** in her sixties, she feels that her child has no future, and it is better to fight than to be a ** in the future.

In this way, the palace maid pretended to be a boy and entered the palace, as long as she can stay, it is the greatest blessing of the palace maid.

It just so happened that Meng Chong was a steward eunuch at that time, and I don't know why Meng Chong left this palace maid called Xiaofuzi at that time.

Since then, Meng Chong has two children by his side, one is Meng Xiaoshi, who is close to Meng Chong, and the other is Xiaofuzi, who dresses as a man.

After a few years, the ** girl gradually grew up, but Meng Chong asked her to serve Emperor Longqing, who was still King Yu at the time. The palace maid was reluctant because she wanted to leave the palace and live the life of a free man for a few years.

Meng Chong gave the palace maid two ways of life and a dead end, and the first way was to go to King Yu's mansion to be a palace maid for King Yu.

In the future, if you can't become a princess, Princess Yu will be able to leave the palace dignified at the age of twenty-five. The second way is to marry Meng Xiaoshi, be Meng Xiaoshi's nominal wife, and always take care of and serve Meng Xiaoshi.

If you don't want to take either path, there is only one dead end. If Meng Chong handed over the palace maid, the palace maid would have only one way to die.

The palace maid didn't want to die and didn't want to stay in the palace for the rest of her life, especially if she didn't want to be with the disgusting Meng Xiaoshi, so she had to agree to go to Yuwang's Mansion.

Soon after, there was a little palace maid around King Yu, who didn't talk much, but was definitely to the center of Yuwang, Emperor Longqing became the emperor's ** daughter or Emperor Longqing's personal palace maid, and continued to sort out internal affairs for Emperor Longqing.

Even Emperor Longqing didn't expect that this palace maid would be the biggest eyeliner that Meng Chong left by his side. The palace maid counted her good days every day, and if it went well, she would be able to leave the palace after another five hundred and three days.

She has already begun to find a more trustworthy eunuch for herself, and is preparing for her secret smuggling of personal belongings out of the palace.

When the palace maid leaves the palace, she needs to be searched, not only is she not allowed to take anything valuable, but she is also not allowed to take more silver.

The things found are either handed in or divided by everyone, and it will cause the palace maid to not be able to leave the palace smoothly.

For this reason, when the palace maids want to leave, they will always find a way to ask some capable eunuchs to help them consign some money and leave the palace in advance.

Of course, not only is it risky to do so, but this eunuch will ask for a lot of money

"Benefit Fee". The general market is that two people divide in half, which means that the eunuch has to divide half of the money.

Although it is a bit excessive, for the sake of the future of the palace maids, most of the palace maids choose to trade. Even if he was divided in half by the eunuchs, there was still a lot of money enough for his future life.

If there is no money, the palace maid will have a hard time in the future. But the palace maid didn't know that the so-called honest eunuch was deliberately arranged by Meng Chong, and the purpose was to control the palace maid's every move.

At the behest of Meng Chong, the eunuch lied that he had bought a residence for the palace maid outside, and transported the palace maid's belongings to this place again and again.

When the palace maid goes out, she will not only be a rich man, but also a rich man with a house and land.

The palace maid believed this eunuch again and again, but she didn't know that Meng Chong had already almost controlled the palace maid's property.

Once the palace maid betrays him, he can leave the palace maid with nothing. Even if Meng Chong promised the palace maid to leave the palace in the future, Meng Chong would order the eunuch to kill the palace maid outside the palace.

Meng Chong promised this eunuch that once the palace maid died, the eunuch would get a large sum of money, including the money that the palace maid had with her when she left the palace.

Then this eunuch doesn't have to go back to the palace, and it is better to find a rural place to be a rich man than to be a slave here.

If the palace maid knew Meng Chong's plan, the palace maid didn't know if she would faint in anger.
