10. Chapter 10 Seek justice
The new marriage law stipulates that women who are divorced through two methods: conciliation or forced divorce, will not have their social status affected and shall not be discriminated against by outsiders, nor will their children be affected.
Qiao Zi did not want to serve the same husband with others, but Song Fanhua decided to take up the responsibility as the young master of the Song family after learning about the Song family's predicament, and agreed to his father's so-called marriage. After a night of discussion, the two decided to reconcile.
Probably the best choice among them.
When the new marriage law was first established, it was opposed by many men, but on the contrary, women were extremely supportive. There was a divorce craze among the people. In the end, the new emperor was firm in his choice. After learning the ins and outs, Ruixue expressed to the new emperor
I felt great admiration and thought that if I have the opportunity to meet the emperor in the future, I must thank him properly.
While her parents were going to the government to register, Ruixue called the girl who had been waiting on her, "Cui Zhu, how much money do I have?"
As a young lady from the Song Dynasty, Ruixue had an allowance of ten taels of silver every month. In the past, Xiaoxueer never took care of the accounts. It was all in charge of the girl Cuizhu. The monthly silver she received every month was directly kept by her, so Ruixue didn't know
How much savings she had, she had decided to leave with Qiao Zi, so naturally she had to take some money with her, otherwise mother and daughter would not be able to settle down in a short time, and they might starve to death.
"Why did the third lady suddenly mention the money? Do you want to buy something? Let Cuizhu buy it."
"No, you take all my money, all of it." Ruixue said seriously.
"Oh, okay, Miss Third, please wait a moment." Cuizhu quickly brought a small box, "Miss Third, Cuizhu uses this box exclusively for your moon silver and other reward silver.
I collect it for the young lady. Every time it reaches one hundred taels, Cuizhu will go to the bank to exchange it for silver notes. The third young lady is young and spends very little. All the money over the years is here. Let Cuizhu count it."
In this era, an ordinary family of three only spends ten taels of silver a year. As a young lady from a wealthy family, Ruixue, even as a child, only has ten taels of silver a month. This is the gap between the rich and the poor.
.
Cuizhu is an honest girl. Although she keeps Ruixue's moon silver, she has never been selfish. This is why Song Fanhua and Qiao Zi feel relieved to leave Xiaoxue'er to serve her. According to Cuizhu's statistics,
From birth to now, Ruixue's private property has been twelve thousand five hundred taels, plus some broken silver.
Upon hearing this, Ruixue was shocked. Ordinary people may never see so much money in their lifetime. How could a child of less than ten years old have so much private money?
But when she thought about it carefully, Ruixue understood that she earned more than 10,000 taels of silver every month. Now that she has grown so big, she can count the number of times she goes out on her ten fingers, and she usually doesn’t even stay home.
She needed to spend money, so even if she needed something occasionally, her parents would buy it for her, and the money was saved without her realizing it.
It seems that saving energy and getting rich is very reasonable.
He took out a one hundred tael silver note and handed it to Cuizhu, "Cui Zhu, you have served me these years and helped me keep the monthly silver. Thank you for your hard work. I will leave Song Mansion soon and I may not see you again in the future.
, you take these one hundred taels as my thanks to you."
"Third Miss, what do you mean by leaving Song Mansion?" Cuizhu looked at Ruixue in surprise.
"My parents have decided to divorce, so I naturally want to follow my mother."
"What, the second young master and his wife want to reconcile?" Cuizhu shouted in surprise.
"kindness."
"How could it be possible? The second young master and his wife have such a good relationship. Could it be that there is no turning around in this matter?" Song Fanhua and Qiao Zi treated their servants very well, so Cuizhu reacted like this.
"They have already gone to the government to register."
"Is it because of the Ma family's affairs? That Miss Ma's family is really hateful. She is not afraid of thunder and lightning to break up people's marriages." Cuizhu was not worthy of her master. Looking at Ruixue's indifferent face, she quickly withdrew the hundred taels in her hand.
Go back and say, "Miss, if you and your wife leave the Song Mansion, you will still have a lot of money to spend. Cuizhu will have no shortage of food, clothing, and accommodation in the Song Mansion, and there will also be monthly silver every month. I can't ask for your money."
.”
One hundred taels is a huge amount of money for a girl. Cuizhu could refuse the temptation. Ruixue couldn't help but think highly of this girl, "Just take it if I give it to you. It's not easy for you to serve me these years."
, I have teased you a lot in the past, and I am here to apologize to you today, Cuizhu, you are not young anymore. With this money, you can redeem yourself and find a man to marry, and be a girl for the rest of your life.
, it’s not a good way out after all.”
"Miss." Listening to Ruixue thinking so much about herself, Cuizhu was so moved that she shed tears.
"Well, look at you like this. If others look at it, they will think that I have bullied you. I am still your master now. You can't refuse the things your master gives you. Put the banknote away quickly. By the way, I
Please help me clean up the soft things in the room now. I will take them all away. My clothes, if they are too gorgeous, don’t want them. If they are more elegant, please help me pack them up and take them away." Ruixue ordered.
"Okay, miss." Upon hearing this, Cuizhu quickly wiped away her tears, collected the cash and went to help Ruixue pack. She was more familiar with the things in this room than Ruixue.
While Cuizhu was tidying up, Ruixue divided the more than 10,000 taels of silver notes into two, rolled them up, and wrapped them in water-proof oil paper. Then she picked up her needle and thread, sewed a bag on each of her clothes and trousers, and put the banknotes in them.
Got in.
When you go out and have a huge amount of money on you, you naturally have to be careful. This sense of crisis comes from Ruixue's life experience in her previous life, and soon, she will be grateful for her sense of crisis.
Cuizhu quickly wrapped up the soft things in the room, looked back at Ruixue as she carefully sewed the pockets, hesitated, and quietly put the one hundred taels of silver notes Ruixue had just given her into Ruixue's clothes, then packed them and made
After all this, she felt a little more comfortable in her heart. She was just a girl and had no right to speak. But over the years, Qiao Zi and Ruixue had been very good to her. Now that they were leaving, she couldn't help. The only thing she could do was not
Cause them more trouble.
Ruixue sewed up the pockets on her underwear and trousers and put them back on. Looking back, she saw that Cuizhu had been packed, and she couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Is everything ready?"
"Yes, miss."
Just as he was about to speak again, a servant hurried over and said, "Sorry, Miss Third, the master wants to drive my wife out. Please go and have a look."
Ruixue was shocked, "What's going on? Quick, where are they? Take me there."
"Miss, I'm with you." Cuizhu hurriedly followed Ruixue.
While running out with the servant, Ruixue asked the servant about the origin of the matter. After learning the origin of the matter, Ruixue was furious. You Song Yu, you are going too far to bully others.
The origin of this matter is also related to Miss Ma's family. It is said that Song Fanhua and Qiao Zi went to the government to register and took their divorce papers and went home. Both of them were in a bad mood. When they arrived at the door of their house, they happened to meet Ma who came to discuss the marriage.
Song Fanhua, the master of the family and Miss Ma's family, was feeling sad and did not say hello to them. Song Yu, who came out to greet them, saw this and scolded Song Fanhua. Miss Ma's family couldn't help but feel sad when she saw that Song Fanhua's eyes were always on Qiao Zi.
