The palace man wiped his tears and told Yaoxing the story:

"The slave was the sixth daughter in the family, with five older sisters and two younger sisters. My father and mother were all from a bitter background, and they thought that only by giving birth to a son would they be worthy of their ancestors, so the children were born one after another, but they were all daughters.

But the year was not good, the family was often affected by disasters, the family could not make ends meet, and the mother often had to eat the magic medicine prescribed by the old doctor in the village, which cost a lot of money, so the slave sisters never knew what it was like to be full.

The eldest sister was the best for us, she blocked my father's fist and stick for us every day, and also took us to the mountains to find food.

Suddenly, one day, my father and mother brought back a middle-aged man, who was lame, and made a cane out of wood. My father kicked us all out and sent him to my eldest sister's room with a smile on her face.

That night, each of us sisters was given half a piece of bread, and the eldest sister walked with a limp with a wound on her face, but smiled happily as she watched us eat the bread. ”

The palace people couldn't cry when they said this, Yao Xing naturally guessed what it was, and his heart was heavy, but he also knew that this was just the beginning.

After that, men often came to the slave's house and entered the eldest sister's room, and some smiles appeared on the father's and mother's faces. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the eldest sister was pregnant, and her father and mother were reluctant to pay for her medicine, so they used the local method, and the eldest sister cried all night that night, and the next morning a roll of straw mats was thrown on the mountain. ”

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Yaoxing interrupted her suddenly, not wanting to listen any longer.

The boss is dead, but there are still so many girls in her family, and the story after that must be even more miserable. Yaoxing just got a granddaughter, and she really can't listen to it anymore.

"The situation of the slave and maid's family is not a minority. Before His Majesty unified the world, etiquette and music collapsed, and many people had no sense of shame, and even ...... Even all kinds of terrifying secret techniques are not uncommon.

The slave and maid were angry, killed someone and ran out, and sold themselves into the palace. Now that I am out of the palace, I am afraid that I have no relatives and nowhere to go. She can even squeeze out a wry smile and revisit the old thing, that is, tear the scar open again, and the pain is no less than the beginning!

"Niangniang is the kindest person in the world, long before serving Niangniang, Niangniang is like a god in the hearts of slaves. It was the mother who gave the woman a way to earn money in addition to this body of flesh and skin, and it was also the mother who gave the girl the opportunity to read and write......"

Yaoxing always thought that although the status of women in this era was not high, it was not as low as the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, but she didn't expect that the darkness was everywhere.

I have always wanted to improve the status of women, but I only set up factories and schools in the county. But the places in the factory and the school are being scrambled, and it is difficult for those who have no family background or connections to get this place.

What's more, it's a poor family, how can they be willing to send girls who can work to study, even if they don't spend money, they still have to eat!

I'm afraid that now, there are still many such cases.

The tip of Yaoxing's nose was sour, and she picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Outside, someone from the palace came to report: "Queen Qiyu, the crown princess has just passed the royal doctor, diagnosed the happy pulse, and came to report the good news." ”

Yao Xing paused, his expression was inexplicable, and he said one word lightly: "Reward!" ”

The palace people who passed the word were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect Yao Xing to be happy at all. But the reaction was quite fast, and he quickly replied: "No! ”
