Madam, please give me some advice

This is the "Phoenix Country" where women are respected

Because there are more men than women in a country with a 1:15 ratio, they require one woman to marry multiple men in order to reduce the burden on the country.

When a boy gives birth, he will conceive naturally. When giving birth, his belly button will open like the contractions until he can stretch out his ten fingers. The baby will cooperate and come out by himself. Some babies will not come out by themselves, and at this time you need to reach in with your hands and slowly take the baby out. Therefore, if this situation is not properly disinfected, there will be many postpartum diseases, inflammation, heavy bleeding, infertility, and even death. [So anyone who gives birth to a child is walking through the gates of hell. ]

"How terrible!" Ji Xingle patted his chest and said thankfully; "Luckily it wasn't my child."

The law before that allowed the original owner's mother to marry at least two husbands, and the rest depended on her family conditions. The family conditions would be verified by the government office. Once it was proven that she had a stable income, she would be allowed to marry. There was no upper limit to the number of husbands, and she could have more but not less.

If a man is very wealthy, he must marry at least five wives, otherwise he will have to pay a fine of 100 taels per year.

Nowadays, the ratio of women to men is too different, so the law requires that a woman must marry her first husband at the age of 16, her second at the age of 17, and her third at the age of 18. The rest can be completed before the age of 25. If she marries five husbands, she will not be forced to find a husband. There is no need for a woman to pay a fine if she does not marry, because she will be forced to find a husband.

However, men must marry themselves before the age of 18. If they are not married by 18, they will be forced to find a wife. If they have money to pay the fine, they can delay their marriage, but the tax will be higher every year. The latest they can delay it is until they are 22 years old. If they are still not married after the age of 22, they will be forcibly taken back by the state.

There are also different treatments for "recycling" here. They are sold to rich families as servants, become playthings of the rich, and are sent to the army.

Therefore, many ordinary families will let their children marry off early. No matter how bad the marriage is, it is better than being taken back by the state.

A woman can beat and scold her husband.

If the husband does not give birth to a child within six years, the woman can divorce or sell him. It all depends on the woman's conscience.

There are also husbands who have not had children and have not been divorced, and are sold. After all, they eat less, and if they stay, they are also a labor force.

A man who does not have a daughter cannot ask for a divorce, but a man who has a daughter can ask for a divorce and live with his daughter after the divorce. These are things that need to be negotiated between the parties involved.

Some of the men who did not have daughters and were not treated well by their wives gritted their teeth and persevered, and lived their lives to the fullest. Some were beaten and were scared, and their fathers did not love them, and they could not leave, so they had to end their own lives.

No matter how scary death is, it is not as frightening as the physical and mental harm it causes. At least death is the end of everything. You no longer have to worry, get beaten, eat less and work more, or be looked down upon by others.

"Ugh......"

"Scholars, Farmers, Merchants and Artisans"

Business is now encouraged because it drives the country's economic development, but because the law has only been amended in recent years, it still cannot change the deep-rooted view that businessmen are lowly people.

Scholars can also engage in business, but most scholars do not have the capital to do so, and they still look down on them, thinking that businessmen are profit-oriented. It is disgraceful to be in the limelight when doing business. It is even a waste of time. If you have time, you might as well read more books and communicate with scholars.

Of course, not all of them are nerdy and inflexible. Some of them know the importance of money and will let their husbands go out to do business. At this time, it is important to marry more husbands, who can give birth to children, endure hardships, and make money to supplement the family expenses.

shhhhh......

A stick of incense

"Whoo~"

I finally understand the laws of this era. Women are superior, women are superior, and the law is on the side of women. So as long as you don't break the law and your violations are not discovered, it's fine, hehe!

Ji Xingle thought, since he would be taking the exam in a few months, he couldn't just talk about it.

I also searched for "strategic essays, regulated verses, classics, test poems, eight-part essays" on other bookshelves, and bought a stack of white linen paper and some entry-level calligraphy practice books.

I can understand the characters here, but I can't write most of them, so practicing writing is the first priority.

"Pah~

Shopkeeper, how much is the total?"

When the bookstore owner saw Ji Xingle buying so much, he became more convinced that she was the noble who came to the capital to seek refuge, so he smiled even more and used his abacus to count...

"Five books for 15 taels, a stack of paper for 1 tael, and a beginner's calligraphy copybook for 2 taels. Lady, here is a total of 18 taels of silver."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Ji Xingle took out 18 taels and handed them to the shopkeeper. He was shocked. He knew that books were expensive, but he didn't expect that all these complete books were so expensive. Who could afford to read these books?

No wonder the original owner's mother worked so hard and borrowed money from all over the place, just to barely be able to buy some unfinished books. It's okay if she can read this book, but if she can't, it will really cost her life.

After walking out of the bookstore, I put all the books in the space under the cover. The voice of the shopkeeper sounded behind me, "Sir, take care~"

Ji Xingle didn't look back and waved his hand!

As the crowd moved around, I passed by a Jinxiufang.

Thinking of the clothes my family members wear, which have been patched up for three years, I feel really sad. Although the clothes I wear have not been patched, the color is almost washed out. Women cannot live without clothes, and they cannot live without beautiful clothes. Buy it...

The clothes in Jinxiufang are ready-made and very expensive, but! Believe it or not, expensive things have their own advantages. Ji Xingle thought that he didn't have the ability to do so now, so he would buy one set for each person so that they could wear them when there was a happy event in the village.

I'll go to the cloth shop later to buy some cloth so that my nanny and the others can make their own clothes.

Ji Xingle bought 6 sets of clothes, including brown, blue, cyan, purple, yellow and pink, spending 24 taels of silver.

One piece of cloth can make two sets of clothes, but only one set for winter. I bought 6 pieces of cloth of the same color as before, 6 pieces of cloth suitable for winter clothes, and enough cotton to fill 12 sets of winter clothes. The total cost was 40 taels of silver, which was not cheap because I wanted good quality clothes.

As for the quilts at home, no matter if they are enough or not, if you have money, you can buy new ones. There are enough quilts in the space, but you still have to pretend, so you buy 6 quilts! The 12 quilts cost taels of silver.

A total of 52 taels of silver were spent. Ji Xingle was too lazy to hide so many things. He gave the address and asked the shopkeeper to deliver the goods to his door. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Great, you are a big customer!" He also gave him some leftover fabrics and said they could be used to make shoes.

I almost forgot about this. After thanking the shopkeeper, Ji Xingle started his next shopping trip...

Seeing a passerby selling candied haws, Ji Xingle thought about what he had promised his younger brother to buy for them. Also, the two adults in the family would probably like to eat these, because few people don’t like snacks, so he bought 15.

One candied haws cost 6 cents. I spent 90 cents, took out five, wrapped them in oil paper and put them in the basket, and put the rest in the space.

I went to the dim sum shop again and packed up all the delicious-looking and expensive cakes there.

There are seven or eight kinds of colorful dishes, and one serving contains six of them. They look pretty good, but I wonder if they taste good. The total cost is 20 taels of silver.

The two little guys are 10 years old now, and it’s time to dress them up. There’s nothing I can do if I don’t have money, but if I had money I would have to arrange it. Who can blame me for liking these two little guys!

"Jewelry Shop"

Ji Xingle stood in front of the rows of hairpins and was dazzled. How come these hairpins were so cheap and yet so beautiful?

The shopkeeper saw Ji Xingle standing there in a daze and thought she didn't know how to choose, so he went up to her and asked her.

"Madam, are you buying this for your husband?"

Come back to God~

"No, I bought it for my brother and grandpa," Ji Xingle asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have anything better?"

Right? Right? I said I would not make a mistake. Although she is dressed in ordinary clothes, she looks extraordinary. How could she be interested in these cheap things? Fortunately, I always treat people with courtesy, otherwise I would have lost a lot.

The shopkeeper was secretly delighted and said with a smile, "Sir, yes, the jewellery on the first floor is quite common. The jewellery on the second floor is more exquisite. You can go upstairs to have a look. This way, please."

Indeed, the one upstairs looks better and more refined, and you can tell at first glance that it is not cheap. Although it is not as good as I expected, it is really rare. This town has everything.

Based on their attire yesterday, I picked out two sets of hairpins, earrings, necklaces and bracelets suitable for middle-aged men.

I also picked out two sets suitable for children, including hairpins, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

After walking around for a while, I finally saw a noble purple hairpin. It looks so nice. I want to buy one for myself. Purple is the best color for fair skin. I don’t know whether purple has any charm or not, I only know that purple looks very noble at this moment.

This purchase gave me a great sense of accomplishment, and a sense of accomplishment also stimulated my desire to buy the Blue Star Gene standard. When I go to Beijing next time, I will go shopping~

"Boss, pack these for me."

"Okay, okay." A big customer! A big customer! The shopkeeper stood by, his mouth almost unable to suppress the smile, there was nothing he could do, he was so happy!

Coming downstairs, Ji Xingle went back to the place he had just looked at and picked out four sets of jewelry that were also suitable for them, including hairpins, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. The ones here were cheaper, and they would give them face when they wore them out, and they wouldn't have to worry about losing them.

Da da da......

The shopkeeper calculated very quickly...

Upstairs there are two sets of middle-aged jewelry for 50 taels of silver, and two sets of children's jewelry for 40 taels of silver.

A purple hairpin 10 taels

The two sets of jewelry for middle-aged people downstairs cost 8 taels of silver, and the two sets of jewelry for children cost 6 taels of silver.

"Madam, here is a total of 114 taels of silver." The shopkeeper said as he took out five plain handkerchiefs, five plain hairpins, and ten colorful hair bands from the cashier counter. "These are for you, madam, please don't despise them."

Ji Xingle took out two large silver coins and 14 taels and handed them to the shopkeeper. He took the things, put them away, and put the basket on his back. He smiled and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
