Therefore, women must use their sufferings in this life to cultivate their chances of becoming men in the next life.
Under the initiative of Emperor Xingzheng, the whole country began to advocate women's chastity.
Never remarrying after your husband's death has become the basic criterion for measuring a good woman.
If you become a widower, you will have to keep your fiancé in check.
As a good woman, you must be flawless.
If the foreign man sees him at all, he will ask him to marry him.
Otherwise, the result will be either suicide or twisting one's hair to become a sister-in-law.
If you kill yourself, you will be praised by the world.
But if they become sisters-in-law, from time to time someone will spit at the door of the ancestral temple to show their disdain for them.
If the man does it intentionally, the man will be fined based on the woman's status.
And this money, the man can completely use the woman's dowry to cover it.
The only protection the law provides to women is that if a man molests a woman, his fine will be doubled.
If you can't afford it, you have to use corvee to pay it.
At the same time, men and women are punished differently when they make mistakes.
A man commits theft and gets thirty sticks.
The woman stole and had her limbs cut off.
If a man kills his wife, he will receive an eighty stick.
A woman killed her husband and was taken to the market entrance to beheaded.
After a man divorces his wife, he can remarry the woman of his choice.
After women are divorced, their natal families are ashamed of them and will not accept them.
They will be sent to the family temple by their natal family, or driven out of the clan village, and eventually become refugees slowly.
Thanks to these rules, all the ruffians in the Wei Dynasty married women from good families.
Not only are these women unable to resist, they also have to be careful to flatter the evildoers who take possession of them, for fear of being abandoned by them.
If the other party only teases them but does not want to marry them, then they will be thrown into the pond under the auspices of the clan elders.
Those who molest them will be fined and then given a painless punishment.
Big board.
After that, the matter will be settled.
The reason is that there are so many women in the world, why do they not tease others, but they choose to tease you.
You must have given the man the wrong hint.
Men who do evil will only be severely punished in one situation, and that is when they cannot afford to pay the fine.
For this fine, men usually marry someone back home.
What awaits the woman is another hell.
In addition to the situation that meets the three requirements, a man can divorce his wife three times in his life.
For them, the luckiest thing in life is when their husband dies early before divorcing his wife.
This way, you don't have to constantly worry about whether you will face the fate of being abandoned.
As for remarrying, that is basically impossible.
In such an environment, men can basically marry young and beautiful women of their choice.
In order to put the matter of women's chastity into practice.
As long as there is a woman in the same village or clan who has observed chastity for more than forty years, she can apply for a chastity memorial arch to be erected at the entrance of the village.
After layers of submissions, this thing will eventually be sent to Emperor Xingzheng’s imperial cabinet.
After verification, Emperor Xingzheng will grant a memorial arch.
That was the only opportunity for Dou Sheng Xiaomin to interact with the rulers of the dynasty.
The woman's deeds will be engraved on the archway for the world to sing her praises.
When officials with grades below the fifth rank pass by, they must salute in front of the archway to show respect.
Every year during the Lunar New Year, the county magistrate would send people to clean up the stains around the archway.
While visiting the clan elders in the village, I also checked out other heroic deeds of the women in the village.
Or, if there is someone in this village who insults the chastity arch,
When something happens, they will report it to them as soon as possible.
At that time, not only will the chastity arch be demolished, but the village will also be punished.
It can be said that the Chastity Archway is a symbol of clan glory.
In order to preserve the chastity arch in the village, the clan elders deepened the already strict rules.
Under their management, countless chaste and virtuous women emerged in the Wei Dynasty.
Jin Qing's client Wu Xingniang is an unlucky cannon fodder, but her situation is a bit special because she really lost Qingbai.
With the Yellow River as the boundary, the Wei Kingdom was divided into north and south.
There was a lot of wealth in the south, and after people no longer had to worry about food and clothing, they tried every means to torment women.
The north is close to foreigners, and although it also values the chastity of women, it is much more tolerant than the south.
Wu Xingniang was beautiful and beautiful. She grew up under the chastity archway in the village and received the brainwashing education in the village.
She never thought there was anything wrong with such a law until she encountered such a thing herself.
This place is called Wujiacun, and the village lives near the sea.
The wind is strong on the beach, and when the tide rises and falls, there is always a lot of seafood floating on the coast.
Although he is not rich, he can barely support himself.
It's a pity that these things cannot be stored for a long time, let alone transported out. They can only be kept for their own consumption.
Whenever the tide goes out, villagers will carry big baskets to the beach to pick up seafood to eat.
Wu Xingniang’s father, Wu Laoer, is such a hard-working person.
In order to pick up more things, Wu Laoer went earlier than others every time.
Who would have thought that one time he would actually pick up a person?
The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was well-dressed but seriously injured. He was lying on the beach dying.
Wu Laoer was originally an honest man, so there was no reason not to save the injured when he saw him.
He immediately carried the person back.<
br>
That man was also very lucky. After a few mouthfuls of hot soup, he actually recovered.
And this was the turning point in Wu Xingniang's life.
Everyone knew that Wu Laoer had saved someone, and the village chief and clan elders immediately came over to check on him.
But when they saw that the other party was a man, the faces of the clan elders instantly turned green.
Wu Laoer was from a poor family. He had only one daughter and no sons.
If a foreign man is left at home at this time, if something happens, the archway in the village will not be able to stand.
Thinking of this, the clan elder immediately ordered Wu Laoer to drive the young man away.
Unexpectedly, the man was also obedient. He noticed the savior's difficulty and immediately revealed his identity.
It turned out that this man's name was Mei Liangjun, and he was the only son of the then General Dingbei. He was a rank-6 Yunqi Lieutenant of the imperial court and guarded the border with his father all year round.
In order to hunt down a group of bandits, he led his troops from the border to the vicinity of Wujiacun.
Although all the villains were killed in the end, he accidentally fell into the water and was fortunately picked up by Wu Laoer.
The people of Wujia Village were in awe when they heard this story, but what made them more admired was what came next.
After learning about the rules of Wujiacun, Mei Liangjun admired the patriarch of Wujiacun very much and immediately said that he was not yet married.
In order not to ruin Wu Xingniang's reputation, but also to repay Wu Laoer for saving his life.
He is willing to marry Wu Xingniang as his official wife.
As soon as these words came out, the whole village was shocked.
Everyone not only praised Mei Liangjun's gentlemanly righteousness, but also envied the good luck of Wu Laoer's family.
For a time, this incident became a favorite story in Shilibaxiang.
Wu Xingniang has a gentle temperament, although her fiancé seems to have fallen from the sky.
But now that the engagement has been arranged, she doesn't go out anymore, and is peacefully embroidering her wedding dress at home, waiting for the day when she gets married.
