I heard that this child's ambition is to be a brocade guard.Everyone laughed.Is Jinyiwei so easy to be?
No money, no backstage, no family, you want to dream of being a brocade guard!
But now that the Jinyi Guards are in front of him, if this kid can win the favor of Lord Tian, maybe there is hope?
At the moment, everyone is jealous and envious.Chongzhen laughed, "So, boy, you were forced by your grandfather, you don't actually want to be literate or study, "Mmmm!
Li Chengzhi nodded vigorously, "What's so good about studying is that it's better to learn martial arts, you can protect Your Majesty the Emperor, and you can also fight bad guys." ”Chongzhen touched Li Chengzhi's head and said with a smile, "Actually, the Jinyiwei that His Majesty the Emperor is looking for also has to be able to read, and if you can't read, you can't enter Jinyiwei at all." ”Li Chengzhi was in a hurry, and his tears were about to flow out.Chongzhen hurriedly coaxed, "Boy, don't cry, uncle will help you find someone to teach you to read, how about this uncle next to you?"
”Chongzhen pulled Cheng Qingfeng in front of Li Chengzhi.Chongzhen thought, anyway, the academy hasn't started yet, and Cheng Qingfeng lives alone in the capital and has nothing to do, so it's not a long-term solution to be an angry youth every day, so it's better to find something for him to do.When Chongzhen went out.Suddenly, I found a woman crying on the street, and she cried directly on the ground in the winter.Chongzhen stepped forward to ask.It turned out that this woman's family was raising ducks for a living, and it was popular to eat roast duck in the capital at that time, especially the ducks in autumn and winter were the most fat, and the fat was roasted and the best was sold.At that time, many farmers around the capital raised ducks for a living.This woman is a widow, everyone calls her Widow Zhang, the man in the family died when Widow Zhang first got married, and the man was popular in this era, and the little land and house left by the man were also occupied by the uncles.Even the cabinets and food at home were emptied by the black-hearted uncles.Widow Zhang had no choice but to go to her mother's house.When I first returned to my parents' house, the brothers were fine, although they didn't wait to see Widow Zhang, so they still gave them food.Later, when Widow Zhang found out that she was pregnant with a posthumous child, the faces of these brothers changed.Later, Widow Zhang gave birth to a girl, and these brothers completely ripped their faces and drove Widow Zhang's mother and daughter out of the house.She still has a pair of silver bracelets in her hand.This is the dowry of Widow Zhang when she got married, and she has been hiding it so that she has not been snatched away by her uncles.Widow Zhang relied on the money obtained from pawning silver bracelets to rent a pond, and she built a grass hut on the edge of the pond to use it as a residence, and then bought a duck to make a living, and lived a miserable life by raising and selling ducks.As a widow, she had no man in the house, so prodigals and often came to harass her.In order not to be harassed, Widow Zhang ruthlessly burned her face with a soldering iron, and her appearance became ugly and terrifying, and she has only retained her chastity since then.Chongzhen sighed.In ancient times, the desperate and Cheng Zhu Lixue really killed people, they were about to starve to death, and they still stubbornly guarded their chastity and refused to remarry.When a wealthy woman becomes a widow, her family will build a high wall in front of the widow's house, leaving only a small hole for food.Poor widow, if life is not settled, the best ending is to find a rope and hang herself, and she will be called a martyr.Even more extreme records.A widowed woman is glanced at by a man or accidentally touches a man's limb.Kill yourself immediately as a sign of chastity, or pick up a machete and remove your own arm first.For this view of chastity in ancient times, Chongzhen is quite speechless.On the one hand, a large number of widows were forced to die and imprisoned; On the one hand, a large number of poor people can't afford to marry wives and fight for life.These singles feed their whole family and are not hungry, and they are idle all day long, and they have become splashes and scoundrels.They gather in crowds every day to molest women, and even rape women, which has become a serious social problem.If these singles and widows could be matched, how many social problems would be solved?
Straight to the point.Because Widow Zhang had a daughter, she was reluctant to die, so she had to barely live.But a widow, even if she ruined her appearance, she was still pointed at by her neighbors every day by raising ducks and selling ducks.Widow Zhang continued.Ducks in winter are the most expensive, today she got up early more than a dozen ducks to buy in the city, thinking that the New Year is approaching, selling ducks to add new clothes to her daughter, and then buying a few catties of white flour dumplings to eat, this year will be perfect.The rest of the money is used to pay the rent, and there is still a lot of money left over to buy some food, coarse salt, needlework, etc.The one who bought her duck was a big customer, the owner of Zheng Kee's roast duck restaurant, who was quite a decent rich man.After the boss accepted the duck, he threw her a piece of silver tower and didn't let her find it.Widow Zhang didn't doubt him, and thought that it was not easy for Boss Zheng to pity her widow and give her more money.However, when the widow took the silver she received to the silver shop, she found that it was just an iron tower covered with thin silver skin.It's worth a few bucks.Widow Zhang took the fake silver to find Boss Zheng to theorize, but how could she fight as a widow, the owner of the roast duck restaurant, Boss Zheng not only did not admit it, but also blasted Widow Zhang out, Widow Zhang had no duck and no money.Thinking about the difficult life in the future, she couldn't help but cry.Chongzhen sighed and said with relief, "This aunt, since you have received the fake silver, hurry up and report to the official, I believe that the government will administer justice for you." ”Widow Zhang smiled sadly."
This master is really joking, since ancient times, the yamen has been open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money, how dare I, a poor widow, enter the yamen" What Widow Zhang said was indeed the truth.Chongzhen knew that because of the imperfection of the supervision system, it was very common for officials to protect each other, and officials and rich to protect each other.Don't say you're poor, even rich people can't afford to fight lawsuits.For example, after Jin Cuilian in Water Margin was bullied by Butcher Zheng, she didn't say that she wanted to report to the official or anything, but just knocked out her teeth and blood, and made money by singing.However, during this period of time, because Chongzhen vigorously grasped the rule of officials and the pervasive supervision of factory guards, there were many fewer cases of official corruption.It's just that for ordinary people, their thinking habits have not changed.Chongzhen secretly thought, "It seems that the old views of the people must be changed." ”Chongzhen was just about to reach out and help Widow Zhang up, when suddenly he thought that it was ancient times, and this woman was a widow again.What if she thinks that I touched her body to lose her joints, and then unloaded her own arm with an axe?"
Ahem!"
Chongzhen embarrassedly retracted his half-stretched hand and said, "That Aunt Zhang, you let me see the fake silver first." ”
