Chapter 33 Fu Fu
Chu Nianqing's current situation, a little better than other royal brothers, is the daughter's body, the best protection, if there is anything bad, others will not suspect her, and there are naturally disadvantages, that is, this long-lasting male dignity thought, women really have no power, Chu Nianqing can do too little.
In fact, the status of women is not high, but after the fall of the two saints, the situation has become worse and worse.
In the former Southern Zhou Dynasty, Empress Duanhui entered politics with her husband, and the arrogant men in the officialdom could not get up, and the status of women soared at that time, and there were even female officials and women.
The emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty favored his wife, and he always respected women, believing that women did have the same ability to serve in politics and the army as men, so he agreed with the practice of Empress Duanhui and issued a decree to the people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty: Even if a woman marries, she does not need to obey her husband's family in all matters, and the people can run women's colleges, women can also take scientific examinations, and they can be officials, and even thought about having daughters have the same right to succeed as their sons.
At that time, the Southern Zhou Dynasty, even if it had just experienced the war, recovered very quickly, whether it was military and political, economic or agricultural affairs were much better than neighboring countries, because there were more officials, and there were more good political theories, of course, this is not only women doing practical things, male officials also put a lot of money, the originally good male officials naturally worked hard for the court as before, and the spectacle at that time was that the male officials who were often lazy and liked to look for flowers and willows also began to speak one after another, vowing to compete with female officials!
There is also Ming Xia, the mother country of Empress Duanhui, after Emperor Ming Xia read Empress Duanhui's family letter, he also decided to prepare for the establishment of a women's college in the territory of Ming Xia, and invited women to be officials.
Although the Beijiang Qi Kingdom did not take any action, but the three countries in the world, both of which raised the status of women, and the last country may not be able to resist for long even if it wants to support the male respect.
At that time, the status of men and women tended to be almost equal, and the national power rose rapidly.
But the good situation didn't last long.
Southern Zhou, Xingye Emperor Empress, defeated also Emperor Empress.
King Beijiang He's plan made the Southern Zhou and Ming Xia have a dislike, plus the Southern Zhou and Ming Xia were originally estranged, even if the queen of the Southern Zhou Dynasty is the princess of Ming Xia, it is useless, Queen Duanhui tried every means to stop it, but she still couldn't bear the war between her husband and brother, and finally chose to commit suicide in tears, and the Southern Zhou Emperor regretted it, leaving behind the martyrdom of his people, and the Ming Xia Emperor was victorious, but he also lost his family affection forever.
The collapse of the Southern Zhou Emperor and Empress ended the war and spared nearly 300,000 soldiers from death and injury, but for later generations, their deaths were not entirely good.
Death took not only their lives, but also the women's regime they had just established.
Empress Duanhui died with such a desperate gamble, and who was highly respected in both countries, and there were few people who could continue to support the growth of women's power like her.
How can a man who has enjoyed the service of a woman for too long be so quick to accept equality, and even some women surpass him? As soon as Empress Duanhui died, they soon began to oppress female officials and promote male respect, and because the women's regime was established, there were too few female officials, so the female officials were quickly defeated, and the male dignity made a comeback, and even more, they were afraid that women were secretly "plotting against them", so they pressed the status of women even lower, and there was no way out, and the women's regime was completely destroyed, so they suffered for several generations.
It wasn't until the founding emperor of Dayin, that is, Chu Nianqing's Taizu, appeared and led the Dayin Iron Cavalry to unify the world that women could take a breath again, but it was only one breath, at most it was only to restore the status of women to before the women's regime, and the women's regime never appeared again.
So far, women seem to have only the role of "passing on the lineage" in the world.
Although there are also women with real power - Princess Zhenguo, but after all, there is only one princess of Zhenguo, and the current princess of Zhenguo, that is, Chu Nianqing's aunt, she only cares about her own enjoyment, and has never taken the restoration of women's power to heart, she is afraid that she doesn't even know what women's power is......
Chu Nianqing has always been very envious of the women of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, admired Queen Duanhui, and liked that they could gallop on the battlefield like men, make meritorious contributions, and be able to ascend to the court, give advice, and kill foreign enemies and behead rebellious ministers.
You don't have to grovel to men, you don't have to make marrying and having children your first priority.
It's a pity that that era ended too quickly, and now when I look at it and listen to it again, I can only regret and be sad, so it's better not to watch it.
Chu Nianqing sat on the warm couch near the window, closed the book of "Ark Record", looked at the scenery outside the window, snow-capped, clean, sighed, and felt more relaxed.
In a trance, I thought of the scene in the early morning, and everyone knelt down and worshipped, and they were majestic.
She looked a little like Queen Duanhui.
Killing someone, she didn't feel afraid, even a little excited, enjoying the taste of everyone prostrate at her feet and listening to her orders, she could execute all the people she didn't like, and even deprive her of a life, making the entire imperial city tremble, when Empress Duanhui was in power, what she saw every day was the scene of everyone looking up to her like this.
That's nice.
Chu Nianqing smiled at the sky where the sun came out.
Xiaoying came in at this time, and Chu Nianqing sat up straight again, no longer thinking about anything majestic, and straightened her posture to meet the things at hand.
Xiao Ying walked to the edge of the couch and stood still, the expression on her face was a little soothed compared to the early morning.
"Princess, the slave has inquired, Imperial Doctor Fu has not come back yet, so he took a warrant to go to the gate of the palace according to your wishes, and informed the guards in front of the gate that you are going out of the palace to visit the lights in a while, and the guard general has received the order, and has asked the rest of the guards to wait, and asked the princess to say goodbye."
"Got it, let's go prepare the sedan chair." Chu Nianqing answered, and then stayed, and the palace people immediately came forward to change her into azure civilian clothes.
It's still early, and it's idle to be idle, so it's better to go to the Fu Mansion to find something to do.
Of course, she didn't go to the Fu Mansion directly, or she had Fu Tusu's brain, but she was afraid that she would be seen through from head to toe before she found out anything, so she had to find a reason to hear that there was a temple fair in the Fu Mansion......
A sedan chair carved with a bright yellow top and a jade phoenix, two chamberlains, seven palace maids, seven palace people, ten guards with knives, and the honor guard of the princess who is responsible for the rules and regulations, but to tell the truth, Chu Nianqing is the first time to see this battle.
Who had the heart to go to such great lengths to do her honor guard? Generally, it is enough to bring two chamberlains and two guards, and she has always thought that the princess's guard of honor is like this, but today she learned that she is shallow in her knowledge, and it seems that it really works to beat the people in the palace!
Chu Nianqing looked at the dozens of people behind him and suddenly didn't know what to say, couldn't cry or laugh, and finally could only say nothing, holding Xiaoying's hand and getting into the sedan chair, letting the wheels break the frost and snow, and walking out of the palace gate.
Fortunately, it's just that someone is in charge of the matter of the guard of honor, and no one cares about the fact that women who have not left the pavilion are not allowed to go out of the palace often, otherwise they will really stay in Qingya Palace until they get married, and they will have to suffocate to death!
Soon arrived at the long street where the Fu Mansion was located.
Dayin is prosperous, the temple fair lantern festival or something, there are often in the capital, I just remember that before the prince's case, she was still so naïve and carefree, because she was not favored, no one cared much about her rules, she often went out of the palace to visit the long street, everything on the long street is good, and the memory of the long street is still very clear.
First slowly paced from the starting point, first the teahouse, then the Yunyang restaurant, and then the rouge shop, the tailor shop, the theater...... Occasionally, there will be a realm that makes her blush and shy, Hualou.
The girl upstairs has heavy makeup, and the clothes on her body are very cool all year round, and the man downstairs loses her soul when she sees it, and she hides when she sees it, but sometimes she also thinks about it, how can those girls still wear off-the-shoulder clothes in winter, are they not afraid of the cold? But she can only think about it, and when she grows up, she will know that those girls are not afraid of the cold, but they have no choice.
Even if she helped this flower building, there are still thousands of flower buildings in the world, and if she can't manage it, she has to walk over with her head down and take care of her own affairs.
I heard that the Fu Mansion is on this street, very close to the imperial city, and very close to the center of the temple fair, but the Fu Mansion is in a small alley, and all kinds of noisy noises can't get in, and it is surprisingly quiet compared to the outside world.
It is not surprising that a family head like Fu Tusu has to study quietly all day long, and it is normal for the house to be quieter.
Chu Nianqing thought about it while walking, thinking about it, he didn't realize that there were several more gold and silver jewelry in his hands, as well as a dazzling array of pastries, and when he looked back, the palace people were also full of them, and even the guards carried the matching knives on their backs, and took all the clothes and materials in their hands.
Alas, sure enough, he is not suitable for money, once he has more money, he unconsciously wants to buy something, and this time out of the palace, I am afraid that half of the money given by the elder brother and the fifth brother will be spent......
Forget it, I can't be poor anyway, the seventh brother and Yan Yunyin haven't been here this month, they will be rich again as soon as they come, don't panic.
At least he hasn't forgotten his main purpose.
Chu Nianqing turned around and waved her hand, telling everyone behind her to go back to send things, she brought Xiaoying alone, which was very low-key, and it was eye-catching for a while.
After walking for a while, the long street with dense buildings cracked a small crack, avoiding the bustling crowd to take a look inside, two stone lions stood in front of the door, the eaves were hung on both sides of the eaves bells, and they remained clean and peaceful in the downtown area, which was none other than the Fu Mansion.
The only conspicuous thing is the dozen red lanterns in front of the door, I heard that a month ago, Fu Tusu's father's fiftieth birthday, is the first time in more than ten years that Fu Mansion has held such a big banquet, even Emperor Chu was surprised, the little Fu Imperial Doctor and the old Fu Imperial Doctor who have always been cold and boring can still be so interested in holding a banquet, and the dragon face is happy, and immediately inscribed a pair of "long life and 100 years old" to the old Fu Imperial Doctor, and the Fu family was lively for a while.
But in the end, two days of excitement was not enough to change the heirloom character of the Fu family, and after a while, the Fu family was still quiet.
This is good, Chu Nianqing also quietly entered Fu's house for a while and did not be rumored.
After almost going through the plan, Chu Nianqing pursed her lips, and ate all the lip grease she had wiped this morning into her stomach, revealing the original color of her lips.
Because she has been weak and sick since she was a child, she ate this lip grease, and she really had a sick posture, she suddenly reached out to support her forehead, and the road under her feet turned into the small alley, leaning against the wall to barely stand.
Xiao Ying suddenly became anxious, and pounced forward with an anxious face, "Princess, what's wrong with you?!" Oh, why is this mouth a little white......"
Chu Nianqing squinted at her, and opened her mouth for a long time before she spit out a sentence: "I'm ...... dizzy."
In two words, the plan is half the battle.
Sure enough, Xiao Ying looked left and right, and soon realized that Fu Mansion was not far away, and Fu Tusu was not far away.
"Princess, wait a minute, the slave will go and invite Imperial Doctor Fu here!"
After saying that, Xiao Ying ran out quickly, squinting at it, it was in the direction of Fu Fu, and not long after, Fu Tusu arrived.
