Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce - Chapter 308
Lu Chen pulled Qiao Jinniang into his arms, “What you said doesn’t make any sense.
When I was young, the imperial master once said that because of the fall of the Han dynasty, people in the world had the words ‘Beauty brings disaster’.
But back then, Emperor Han Cheng was muddle-headed.
Everyone didn’t blame Emperor Han Cheng, but the two sisters Feiyan and Hede.
They were the ones who charmed the army.
” Qiao jinniang said, “Since you understand this logic, do you really have no other way? You can only watch helplessly as a lover is not allowed to marry.
” Lu Chen said, “It’s not that there’s nothing you can do.
It’s just that what needs to be changed is not only the rule that the prince consort is not allowed to have real power.
What needs to be changed is the world’s laws regarding the inequality of women.
” Qiao jinniang nodded and said, “Yes, that rule of righteousness needs to be changed.
There’s also the rule that the daughter of the deceased must be allowed to inherit the family business…” “However, if we change these rules, you won’t be able to sit on the throne for long, right?” Although Qiao Jinniang really wanted to change the rule of a woman inheriting the family business, she knew that it was impossible.
Back then, Tong Yingying’s clan theory was highly sought after by the scholars for this reason.
Since the Han Wu period, the position of women had been declining day by day since they deposed the hundred schools of Confucianism.
The discussion of clans had been going on for a long time.
It would not be easy for Lu Chen to change the rules that had been in place for thousands of years.
Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang’s hand and said, “That’s why I need your help.
This matter can not be changed overnight.
We can only take things slowly.
” Qiao jinniang replied, “Okay.
” In the Tai Chi Palace.
The current Emperor’s teacher, Hong Yang, looked at the new imperial edict that Lu Chen had drafted and could not help but frown.
“Your Majesty, there have been female households for a long time, but most of them are either families where both parents have died or families with no clans or husbands.
As long as there is a clan, there will naturally be an uncle’s account.
“But now that you have issued the imperial edict, saying that after a woman has established a female household, she can ignore the clan and take over the family business of her parents.
This is clearly affecting the interests of the men of the clans in the world.
If you were to issue this imperial edict.
.
, “I’m afraid that it will be the subject of complaints from the scholars in the world!” “Also, your Majesty has never been to the common people, so you don’t know the sorrow of the common women.
There are very few women like the Empress who know how to do business.
There are many women who are weak and weak.
A woman of a generation is sitting on the wealth of the family.
Without the help of the clan, it will only attract the covetous eyes of others.
” Hong Yang looked at the imperial edict and understood.
Back then, imperial censor Tong and Tong Yingying used the clan theory to force the empress to hand over the Hundred Savory restaurant.
Now, His Majesty was giving this imperial edict for the Empress.
However, just like that day, retired emperor chose to stand on the side of the clan for the stability of the world.
Once this imperial edict was given out, it was likely that there would be many complaints from the common people.
“Your Majesty, Please Think Twice and take back the imperial edict!” Lu Chen said, “I have already thought it over.
I have ordered the provinces to announce the edict and send it to all the prefectures.
If there are female households, the government will have to take care of them.
” .
.
The chrysanthemums in autumn were very good.
There were many famous scholars in the previous dynasty who liked elegant chrysanthemums.
Now, they also looked at the chrysanthemums.
Princess Fu’an was very good.
Princess Rong wanted to choose a husband for her, so she invited all the famous families in Chang ‘an to come to the residence to admire the chrysanthemums.
The women of the noble families gathered together and began to talk about the emperor’s new imperial edict.
“In the past, I thought that the retired emperor doted on the empress dowager very much.
I’m afraid that our new emperor has gone beyond that.
The matter of the Qiao family has been settled, and now His Majesty has even given an imperial edict that women can inherit the family business.
” “Speaking of which, His Majesty probably doesn’t know the hardships of the common women.
If they can’t inherit the family business, the family wouldn’t kill the orphan girl.
They would give the orphan girl a good marriage for the sake of the family business.
“If he can inherit the family business, some clans would definitely kill her!” “The beauty is a disaster.
His Majesty’s unwillingness to accept concubines has already made many civil officials complain.
Now, he even issued such an imperial edict.
” Qin Miaomiao listened to the conversation of the ladies and said indifferently, “I think His Majesty’s imperial edict is very good.
All the ladies are pampered daughters of the family.
They don’t know the sufferings of the common women.
” To these ladies from noble families, they had been pampered and pampered from a young age.
The elders loved them as much as their brothers.
Even the dowry when they got married was a lot.
They also had to get married before they could understand some of the unfairness of women.
If they had given birth to a son after they got married, the only unfairness would probably be the fight between wives and concubines.
They would not know that there were some women among the people who had become slaves or had to work since they were young in order to support their brothers’education.
They would not even know that the sorrow of the daughter of a lost family was clearly the property of their own parents, but it was going to become someone else’s property.
“Could it be that young madam Lin is planning to set up a female household in the future? After all, the right prime minister has openly entered and left Princess Jing Hua’s residence!” That young madam was originally Fu Lu’s good friend.
She had not been on good terms with Qin Miaomiao since she was young.
Madam Lin frowned when she heard this and only said, “Is the princess also someone you can make up?” “Auntie, don’t be angry.
I was too talkative.
” Qin Miaomiao looked at the mocking gazes of the crowd and took a deep breath.
Seeing that Fu Lu was alone at the side, he went over to Fu Lu’s side.
“Why are you alone? Where is your uncle, Qiao Xiaoguo, who is always by your side?” Fu Lu snorted.
“He has official business today.
Why Don’t You Go Be Your Five Good Wives? You’d better stay away from me.
Recently, people from our Qiao Manor have not been welcomed.
” Qin miaomiao laughed and said, “Marquis an Yuan’s manor is now the Empress’s family.
How could it not be welcomed? I’m afraid there are many madams who want to make friends with and curry favor with.
Don’t tell me you find it annoying?” Fu Lu cupped his chin with one hand and said, “I’m not lying to you.
Currently, many officials in Chang ‘an think that the Qiao family is a treacherous official.
A demon queen who has seduced the Emperor is not allowed to take in concubines.
She even wants women to take over the family business.
I’m afraid that there will be an imperial edict that forbids all men from taking in concubines in the future.
.
She treats everyone in the Qiao family as the main culprit who has harmed Great Tang’s foundation.
” Qin miaomiao said, “The current emperor is really a good emperor.
Whether it is for the empress or not, he is willing to issue such an imperial edict.
It is a good thing for many common women.
” Princess Fu an came over and said to Qin miaomiao, “Lady Xiao Lin is here too.
It has been a long time since we last met.
We even played together when we were young.
” “Congratulations, Princess.
Your Health is safe,”Qin Miaomiao said.
Fu an sighed and said, “I would rather not have my health be safe.
I just recovered from this illness not too long ago and managed to survive just long enough to get out of bed.
In the end, my childhood friends all got married and some even had children.
“My mother urged me to find a marriage every day.
She thinks that I have been drinking medicine in the royal residence for too long and can’t wait for me to get married soon.
” Qin Miaomiao smiled faintly.
“The princess loves you more than she can.
I’m afraid that the marriage of the princess and Princess of the Great Tang dynasty will be a little difficult after someone has snatched away all the good men.
” Fu an nodded and said, “That’s right.
If it wasn’t for cousin Jing Hua wanting to recruit a son-in-law, there would still be many young and talented people who were not engaged.
However, they are all gone now.
Sigh!” Fu Lu stomped on Fu an fiercely from below.
This cousin of hers was even better at bringing up the pot than herself!
