Imperial College Kindergarten

night.

Wangjia Village on the outskirts of Beijing.

This is not the village of Liu Qingyan's adoptive mother Wang Cuicui. In fact, there are several Wang villages near the suburbs of Beijing.

If it weren't for the system, it would have taken Liu Xueting some time to find it by himself.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was getting dark quickly. When Liu Xueting was about to arrive at the village, he could not see his fingers. Just then, a gust of cool wind blew by, making a "woohoo" sound. Liu Xueting shivered inexplicably. Goosebumps immediately appeared on the exposed skin!

"Tong, why do I feel so fuzzy?"

303's voice also trembled: "Host, how about we go back home?"

"You're here!" Liu Xueting recited the six-character Great Ming Mantra several times in his heart, "Hurry up and give me a concealment charm!"

With the concealment talisman still with him, and the amulet he exchanged before had not expired, Liu Xueting felt more at ease.

Despite this, when Liu Xue stopped at the entrance of the village, he was startled by a burst of barking!

"Wang Wang Wang Wang..."

"Unification! Has it failed?"

"No, host!"

"Isn't it said that dogs can see things that humans can't see?" Liu Xueting touched his beating heart and looked at the several grinning dogs guarding the entrance of the village. A cold air shot up from the soles of his feet. , making people suddenly feel scared!
"Calm down, host!" 303 comforted, "Have you forgotten that you didn't have a concealment charm before in modern times?"

"But I just dig a lot in the entertainment industry! I think this whole village is weird!"

I don't know whether it was because he had been in Daxia for a long time or because he had become timid. Liu Xueting made enough mental preparations to bypass the dogs and enter the village.

After roughly figuring out the structure of the village, Liu Xue chose a secluded house and went in. He quickly searched the house, but found nothing?
"Host, what do you suspect?" 303 asked puzzledly.

Seeing that this one was not there, Liu Xueting went to the next one and continued to search. Hearing this, he said: "I suspect it was not just an ordinary adoption, but a bought one. I hope it's not the case!"

"Huh? No way, you are so bold, this is at the feet of the emperor!" 303 sensed that the host has not yet triggered a critical step, and it cannot detect it for the time being.

"What's more, have you forgotten the ancient people from before? They are still active under the emperor's feet, and there is a saying that it is dark under the lamp!"

Liu Xueting searched the nearby houses and found no cellars. He breathed a sigh of relief and then walked towards the area where the houses were obviously densely packed.

When she randomly entered a room, what a coincidence, it was Aunt Wang's!

The couple chatted at night in front of the oil lamp.

"Hey, boss, do you think that embroidery workshop is reliable? Can you really give Zhaodi [-] yuan a month?"

"I think that owner's pomp is grand enough, and he doesn't look like he's bluffing!"

"If this is the case, then it's worth it. It also includes food and accommodation. It's not better than before. It only costs a few dozen dollars to knit one piece after all the hard work!"

"It's quite a lot. Otherwise, how could we save up the tuition fees for my eldest son to go to school?"

"This can earn [-] yuan a month. This year's maintenance fee will cost three taels of silver. Plus pens, ink, paper, inkstones, festival gifts, etc., there may be a lot of money left over from the wages of recruiting women!"

"Yes, we have to let her work for a few more years so that her eldest son can go to school. Otherwise, it would be bad to get married!"

"Didn't you talk about marrying her off to collect some of the gift money?" "I'm stupid. Even if you sell her, it will only be a dozen taels at most. She will come back after two years of earning! You can earn four or five years." , I can still save a lot!”

"That's right, my dear, you've made great progress!"

"You were unwilling to buy this baby girl at the beginning, so you should listen to me. We can save some money by relying on her weaving over the years!"

"Hey, how could I think so far ahead? You, my eldest son, have the foresight!"

"Look at the hothead next door. What's the use of buying a son? He's so grown up and is so disgusting!"

"Yeah, it's better to have our own children later!"

When Liu Xueting heard this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, really!

"Host, trigger the key plot!"

"Dingdong: Wangjiacun seems to be prosperous, but in fact many children and wives are bought from Shanzhou, Qingzhou and other places!"

Liu Xueting walked out of the yard and looked at Wangjia Village in the dark night again. The houses were like the gaping mouth of the abyss, which made people feel cold for no reason.

Who would have thought that at a time when the Great Xia Dynasty explicitly prohibited the private sale of people, there would still be such a village at the feet of the emperor!
What about other places?

"Host, what are you going to do?"

"Send them to jail, of course!"

Liu Xueting took advantage of the fact that the concealment talisman was still in effect and visited several more courtyards, but strangely, he did not find any abuse or beatings.

"This village is weird. It's true that they bought it, but many families are living a pretty good life. Why is this happening?" Liu Xueting couldn't understand.

303 also expressed ignorance: "Things that can be bought and sold really happened!"

"Children, maybe they don't know what's going on? They don't understand even if they are sold. And you see, most of the people sold are boys. Maybe the people generally pay attention to them. Girls, maybe just like Wang Zhaodi, they don't dare to do anything." 303 guesses road.

"I'm afraid it's not just that. Those wives who were bought may not live very well in their original homes, or even worse than this." Liu Xueting said in a deep voice, "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of people's concepts. .”

In the same land, there are women who can go to school, and now there are women who can enter officialdom and business, but there are still women who are homeless and unable to control their own destiny.

Wangjiacun may have relatively better treatment, but what about other places?
The Great Xia Dynasty still needed more female officials and businesswomen. Even weavers and embroiderers who could make money to support themselves were more confident than other women.

Liu Xueting walked out of Wangjiacun, thinking in his mind how to explode, so as to ignite clusters of sparks in people's hearts. It doesn't matter if it's small, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay attention to it at this time, but when everyone has this awareness, people’s ideas will be changed little by little!
Still choosing a forest to spend the night, Liu Xueting hurried back to his yard when the sky lit up.

While stuffing breakfast into his mouth, he picked up a pen and wrote a new story.

I can’t wait until the evening, this must be a blast during the lunch session!
Mian Xia served Liu Xueting a bowl of sweet soup and gently advised, "Girl, please eat slowly. If you really can't catch up, why don't you take half a day off?"

Liu Xueting took over the soup and drank most of the bowl. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "How can I do that? I'm the only assistant now. If I ask for leave again, those kids will make a big fuss!"

"Yes, Mr. Xie has joined the army. I really didn't expect it!" Mian Xia said with emotion.

Liu Xueting was not surprised. After all, Xie Yu was extremely skilled, but for some reason, he still felt a little bit lost when he thought of him...

Thank you, my dears!
