The world is heavy and late

Chapter 3 Female Officials

Xia Qing and the others stood under the steps for an hour. Envoy Xu just gave a lecture. After explaining the rules of the palace, she said to them:

"Everyone's fate is just like God's will. No one can know for sure. Those standing here may be my superiors, peers or subordinates in the future."

Envoy Xu paused quietly for a while and continued:
"Of course, it is also possible that it is a concubine, or there is no body left. It is very common to lose your life in this palace."

After finishing speaking, he walked down the steps, leaving behind two maid supervisors. Obviously, envoy Xu's heart is not as strict as her round face deliberately showed.

Xia Qing was still in shock when envoy Xu left. After hearing envoy Xu talk about the female officials of the Sixth Division, Xia Qing was not at peace, and his eyes were even flushed.

Xia Qing has always known that the status of women in this world is far lower than that of men. Even at home, men and women go to the fields to do the same work, but women are not allowed to serve on the table, and they are not even eligible to eat cooked rice during the busy farming season.

She didn't expect that in Miyagi, where the difference in status was the most obvious, she would see that the status of women was rising, even if it was only Miyagi, but Xia Qing knew that it was not just that, just that each department had the opportunity to directly hand over the paper to the emperor Not the same, what's more, the impact of this matter is far more than that. If you want to participate in the annual female officer assessment, you must be able to read and write. Let more women read and write; if one day the implementation of the female official system is recognized, will more women see their abilities...

In fact, it is because Xia Qing's family is in Guannei Road. It has been the third year since His Majesty implemented the system of female officials in the Six Divisions. Basically everyone in Kyoto and the suburbs of Beijing knows about it, but people in remote places like Xiang Xia Qing basically don't know about it, especially in the local area. For those with big families, the news was blocked even more, so everyone was a little excited.

Xia Qing sorted out her complicated mood, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood why the Sixth Division female official system came about, and also knew that His Majesty's move was just to prevent the aristocratic family from controlling the court, especially the concubines of the aristocratic family; it was not intentional to promote the status of women However, this did not prevent Xia Qing from getting a glimpse of the great talents of this young emperor who had been on the throne for five years.

When Xia Qing calmed down, he began to listen to the palace maid's request to recite the palace rules.

Yes, even after hearing this, Xia Qing didn't care much, she didn't think it had anything to do with her, Xia Qing never thought she was smart, and never believed that she could change anything, she was just an ordinary Just an ordinary person.

……

At the end of June, more than three months had passed since Xia Qing entered the palace. After three months of training, she finally heard envoy Xu say that she finally looked like a slave.

Xia Qing quietly breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the palace for three months, in fact, there were very few things that were really entrusted to them, because they were not good enough to be "used", but the daily rules were enough to torture people.

That night, Wu Xiaoyuan happily bought some snacks from Si Shansi's fellow countryman, and couldn't help but celebrate with Xia Qing.

"It's finally over!"

She leaned on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief, then passed the snacks to Xia Qing, and said happily in her glasses:
"Eat quickly, no one else will come back, I only have these two pieces!" After speaking, he also took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and his cheeks became more bulging.

Xia Qing also took one and stretched out his hand. Maybe because they lived together in March, Xia Qing and Wu Xiaoyuan got to know each other a lot, and asked:

"Which division do you want to go to?"

"Si Shan Si, my fellow countryman is serving as a small envoy there."

After finishing speaking, he leaned into Xia Qing's ear mysteriously and said:
"If you can learn cooking skills, maybe you can even eat what the nobles eat."

After speaking, he laughed like a mouse who stole oil, and his eyes narrowed when he laughed.

After Xia Qing saw it, her heart almost melted, thinking that baby fat is so cute.

She even leaned over and sat beside Xia Qing, touched Xia Qing's arm and said,

"Sister Xia, come with me to the Secretary of Food"

After speaking, he looked at Xia Qing with bright eyes.

Xia Qing said almost without thinking: "Okay!"

After all, she really didn't have any pursuits, just drifting with the crowd, and she only got acquainted with Wu Xiaoyuan in the third month of entering the palace, so it seemed good to be with her.

Xia Qing and Wu Xiaoyuan continued talking for a while, and they didn't go to bed until they finished eating a few snacks.

When they woke up the next morning, Xia Qing and Wu Xiaoyuan didn't have the good mood they had yesterday.

　It was finally time to start writing, and my hands began to tremble with excitement.
