Watch Fairy Tail Episode 69 Shooting——The Ball Goes In
The "Constitutional Amendment Conference" in Nanjing has been completed. After more than two months of quarreling, the parliament finally completed the revision of the constitution and the enactment of several new laws. This marks that at least in terms of system, the Ming Dynasty has completed half a century.
The reform led to a completely independent country
Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong received the telegram on the plane flying back to Nanjing. The Imperial House of Lords had just passed the motion to grant women the right to vote with a narrow margin of 17 votes in favor and 13 votes against. When the radio operator finished reading the news,
A burst of sweet cheers immediately came to mind in the cabin - Zhu Yourong's personal maids were extremely excited, cheering and applauding. Although they would not run for election, they all regarded this as their victory as women. Zhu Yourong was also very excited.
Joy, rejoice with everyone. This is a landmark event, marking a huge step forward in the status of women in Ming Dynasty.
The result of the discussion in the Imperial Parliament was that the original twelve provinces and three jurisdictions of the Southern Ming Dynasty would immediately implement universal suffrage, and the thirteen northern provinces would implement a transitional system. The transitional period would be ten years. After ten years, universal suffrage would be implemented in Qinghai, Uszang, and Northern Xinjiang.
The four provinces in southern Xinjiang have a transition period of fifteen years
The structure of the Imperial Parliament remains basically unchanged. It is divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Upper House currently has 30 members. There are two seats in each of the twelve southern provinces and three direct-administered regions. The three direct-administered regions are Nanjing, Shanghai and Chongqing.
It is the national political center, Shanghai is the national economic center, and Chongqing is the political and economic center of the Southwest Strategic Rear Area. The three cities are particularly important, so they are separately classified as "directly administered regions". Like other provinces, they occupy two seats in the House of Lords.
Each seat in the House of Commons is based on the population ratio of each province. The current total number of seats is 325, and each representative represents about 300,000 people.
Under the Imperial Parliament, each province and territory has its own parliament, which is also divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Shang Xiaojun is running for the seat of the Lower House of the Nanjing Territory. Compared with the members of the House of Lords, the threshold is much lower.
…
When he got home, Xiang Xiaoqiang found that the house was filled with an atmosphere of joy. The maids were running around, talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood. Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu were the core of the joy, they were like little girls.
, directing everyone in their busy schedules, mixed with cheerful laughter from time to time.
Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that Xiangfuli had become the base camp for Shang Xiaojun to run for parliament. Xiuxiu was working hard for her mother's campaign. Qiu Qiu also followed her to help Shang Xiaojun sit steadily in the wheelchair and watched.
All this, with a satisfied smile on his face, while lowering his head to revise the speech outline, his whole body was surrounded by a spirit, as if he was more than ten years younger.
However, there is another reason why the atmosphere at home is cheerful, which Xiang Xiaoqiang doesn't know.
That night, at the first family dinner for Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong when they returned home, Xiang Xiaoqiang was very sensitive to the fact that the atmosphere was not right. No one spoke, they just laughed and looked at Qiu Qiu.
She hid her head under the table, but there was still a smile on the little woman's face that couldn't be hidden, a smile that revealed happiness.
Zhu Yourong was also puzzled. He looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, then looked at Qiu Qiu, and said with a smile:
"Qiu Qiu, what's going on? Are you so happy?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Qiu Qiu's appearance, and then observed everyone's reactions, and had some premonitions.
Sure enough, Qiu Qiu finally raised his head, blushed, and said with a smile:
"Xiao...Xiaoqiang, I...I...my...um..."
Zheng Yuqing opposite couldn't help it anymore and laughed directly:
"I'll tell you for you! Xiaoqiang, you don't know that Qiu Qiu is pregnant!"
Suddenly, there was a "coax" and everyone started to cheer. The girls in the restaurant giggled and laughed straight to the ceiling. Qiu Qiu felt relaxed and was no longer so shy. Instead, she raised her head and looked at Xiang coquettishly.
cockroach
Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart was shocked, and a wave of ecstasy rushed through his body. He immediately stood up, rushed to Qiu Qiu's side, hugged her, gently stroked her belly with his hand, and said with a smile:
"Oh...well, good Qiuqiu, you are indeed my good Qiuqiu...good job...when did it happen? Why so fast?"
As soon as the words "how come so fast" came out, Qiu Qiu immediately lowered her head in shame and turned her face straight into Xiaoqiang's arms. The other girls also laughed "cheeringly" and looked at the two of them, Shang Xiaoqiang, with ambiguous eyes.
Jun still smiled like a generous elder, and at the same time gave an encouraging look to his daughter across the table.
Fourteen giggled and said:
"The imperial doctor has seen it. It's been less than two months. I said Xiaoqiang, you have to thank Qiuqiu. Qiuqiu has saved face for you, Commander Xiang... You don't count. Since Qiuqiu and Xiuxiu
How many years has it been since I entered the house? There is still no movement in the huge Xiang Mansion, and the tabloids have already started writing nonsense. If this continues, it will no longer be a matter for the tabloids."
Shishi Gege took the lead and finished speaking, and several other girls nodded in agreement, with shy smiles on their faces. Even Zhu Yourong couldn't help but smile, lowered his head, and a trace of blush climbed onto his cheeks.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was embarrassed, rubbed his hands with a smile, nodded and said with a smile:
"Ah, good, good, all good, all good..."
Of course he knew what the Fourteen Princesses meant. Indeed, since he married his first wife, Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu, he has married five wives successively. However, in the past few years, not one of them has become pregnant.
There was never a cry of a baby in the house. The tabloids could not help but make some speculations, but speculations were speculations. The ladies all knew that it was not that their husbands were physically ill, but that they had taken adequate measures of contraception every time they had sex.
The reason for this measure is that he is still young and not ready to be a father yet. It will be like this in two or three years. Although the ladies are reluctant, after all, Xiang Xiaoqiang is the head of the family and has no choice but to follow him.
But since the disappearance of Xiang Xiaoqiang last year, Xiang Xiaoqiang seems to have become a different person when he returns, as if he has been relieved of a huge burden. His previous contraceptive measures are all thrown aside. It seems that these few months of missing have made him realize the meaning of life.
The truth is that of course this made several ladies happy. While everyone was secretly happy, they were also secretly competing, wanting to be the first to conceive and become the mother of the eldest son of Xiang Mansion.
The position of Prince of the Ming Dynasty can only be chosen from the house where Zhu Yourong was born. It has nothing to do with the ladies of the other houses. Moreover, Xiang Xiaoqiang's throne is not hereditary, but descending. That is to say, there is no heir apparent, and all the sons and grandsons are granted the title of marquis.
All the generations were granted the title of uncle - although this "eldest son" does not have much practical significance now and does not have an advantage in title or property inheritance, in the traditional society of the Ming Dynasty, this means that the status of the mother of the eldest son has been improved.
Therefore, Xiang Xiaoqiang deliberately gave up the "first place" to Qiu Qiu, and Qiu Qiu was also very "on the road", catching "the ball" beautifully and accurately, just like the first time the two met, Qiu Qiu
It was like Qiu caught the gun beautifully and accurately.
And today, Shi Shigege made this passage full of ambiguity, which means: It’s our turn next, you have to be aware of it!
