In this era, some baby girls are very miserable just because they are girls. In this world where men are superior to women, even if there is no inheritance of the throne, there are still girls who will lose the chance to live due to gender relations at birth.
If compared with those girls who died in infancy, it is a kind of luck to be alive. Even though the original owner lost the protection of her family, she is still in good health, and there are still people to take her away from the suffocating family. This is a kind of happiness.
Of course, if the original owner wants to live the same life as before, and thinks that he must wear silk and satin every day, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, then he may feel that he is not living a good life before long, so it depends on how he feels about it.
People who can think about it will find the joy of living in life. People who are obsessed with thinking about a better life in the past often make themselves live too hard because they can't think about it. Of course, this is everyone's choice.
What Ling Xiao can give to the original owner is not very much. As an outsider, she cannot give the original owner a very noble identity. You must know that she is the one who escaped, so she has to find a more suitable identity.
You can't apply to a family with a lot of people. You have to prevent people from finding out that you have changed someone. Because Ling Xiao can't have relevant memories, the fewer acquaintances you have, the better. After all, this identity is the best.
This identity does have a real person, which is the information Ling Xiao mentioned before. The only difference is that the father and son died in a foreign land and can never go back, and she will return to their hometown with their ashes.
So here comes the problem. This identity is not the so-called son of an official, so it is impossible to give the original owner a more noble identity. After all, this identity has been determined.
If you want to have a noble status, there are only two possibilities. One is that Ling Xiao goes out to earn a big future in the body of a puppet, but she has never planned to become an official from here. This puppet is an older person.
, it was a little late to take the imperial examination.
In addition, being an official also has grades. Even if you succeed in the imperial examination, the number one scholar will start from the seventh grade. If you want to become a high-ranking official, it will take decades. The original owner will have become an old woman long ago, which is a situation of three autumns too late.
Moreover, the officialdom is too chaotic now, and there are intrigues everywhere. One bad outcome is that the whole family will be destroyed. The powerful ministers and their families were so prosperous at the beginning. In order to save the official positions and lives of the powerful ministers, the emperor ignored other officials' impeachment of the powerful ministers and their families.
This situation caused the powerful minister's family to become extremely arrogant. The granddaughter of the original owner, a high-ranking official, was still a concubine. This shows how powerful the powerful minister was. He was invincible wherever he went, which was simply the greatest achievement of being an official.
What the powerful minister never expected was that one day he would be rejected by the emperor. Both father and son were too arrogant and domineering, and they felt that they had offended many people. Even though he was loyal, the emperor still lacked the most.
He is a loyal person.
The most important thing is that the son of a powerful minister does not have the loyalty of a powerful minister. Perhaps the situation of being alone for many years made him a little swollen, and eventually he made nonsense in the emperor's inner treasury. As a result, the powerful minister gradually lost his original position in the emperor's heart and in the eyes of the emperor.
There are many people who are loyal to him, and there is no shortage of powerful ministers.
In this way, the powerful minister gradually lost the emperor's favor. His enemies saw an opportunity. After all, no one likes a colleague who one day wants to be a powerful minister. This will lead to the powerful minister's enemies and even other officials to unite to bring down the powerful minister.
, the entire line of powerful officials did not escape the liquidation, and even the original owner was affected.
Ling Xiao is quite familiar with the official system of this dynasty. It belongs to the dynasty with the least protection. First of all, the salary of each official is very low. Secondly, the emperor likes to get involved. This characteristic is not good for the whole family to die, so it is better to give preferential treatment to officials.
The Song Dynasty is much different.
Of course, it is undeniable that the founding emperor of this dynasty was very awesome, because he was an emperor who came entirely from the common people, while the emperors of other dynasties, except for the Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty, were more or less related to the gentry of the previous dynasty.
Perhaps because the emperor came from a civilian background, the salary given to officials by the founding emperor was too low. Later, he gave the so-called treasure banknotes. That is to say, the officials worked hard to pass the exam, but found that they could not even support their families after working hard.
.
There are also many relatively honest officials who cannot be buried after their death because they have no money. Such a comparison leads officials to want to get money from other channels, which means that they cannot get it through formal channels, so they naturally go wrong.
This also led to one thing: even though Emperor Taizu set up the torture method of peeling off the skin of corrupt officials, which showed that he hated corruption as a crime, there were still endless officials who engaged in corruption.
Many of these officials did want to be loyal to the country at the beginning, but as time went by, they gradually began to forget their original intentions. The salary they received could not even support their families, let alone good food and clothing. After some comparison,
It's normal for people to change their minds.
At the beginning, some officials are relatively content with poverty, but as time goes by, they will find that other officials are living better than themselves, and when they look back carefully, they will feel that their salary is not enough. People who are deeply stimulated will gradually begin to break through their own
The moral bottom line, the whole person is heading in another direction.
That person changed, to a large extent, because he was stimulated by the people around him. After all, he has power in his hands, and of course he is not willing to let him and his family live such a miserable life.
There is also a kind of official who always adheres to the standard of honesty, but has no time to pay attention to the situation in his back home. His relatives include but are not limited to parents, wives and children, as well as clan members and other seven aunts and eight aunts. In the end, officials also
Being dragged into the water and becoming part of the corruption.
There are also those cronies, whether they are from geographical connections, or connections between masters and apprentices, couples, marriages, etc., which will make officials unknowingly become members of the clique. Ling Xiao will not go off to practice, live
In the officialdom, most people were of black blood, which she didn't like.
Since it is absolutely impossible for Ling Xiao to become an official, there is only one possibility left: the original owner marries a very motivated husband. Of course, this kind of investment is very risky, because that man may be the kind of person who wants to get promoted and get rich in exchange for a wife.
Sowing dregs.
But Ling Xiao knew very well the temper of the original owner, who was soft-tempered and relatively introverted, and didn't like to socialize with other people at all. Can such a person with a little social phobia be a good and well-rounded wife?
I feel that I can't. It's not that Ling Xiao looked down on the original owner. Even if the original owner read a lot of books with him, and Ling Xiao thought he could earn a very good dowry for her, the original owner is definitely not the kind who likes to go up.
The wife of a climbing man.
The original owner's social phobia made it impossible for her to become a capable housewife who was good at dancing. Ling Xiao was not optimistic about the original owner at all. If she married a particularly capable man, she would be in danger of falling into court.
Although some men change their wives, they are relatively scumbag, but they are still relatively decent. Although they abandon their incompetent wives for the sake of their own future, they will still let their wives go and return the dowry.
But if you meet a calculating man, you may not let the original owner go, and he may think of ways to kill him and keep his wife's dowry for your family's future expenses. Then the original owner is in danger.
You have to know that at that time, Ling Xiao was afraid that he was no longer in this world, but he could still care about the life and death of the original owner? Seeking justice for her? No way! As soon as Ling Xiao thought of this possibility, he decided to let the original owner stand up and find someone who could tolerate the original owner in the future.
people.
You must know that she may be able to wait until the original owner's child is born, or even wait to grow up, but she will definitely not wait until the original owner dies before leaving. Ling Xiao thought of this, looked at the somewhat confused original owner, and felt that the road was long.
At the same time, let the original owner who is kneeling stand up.
Ling Xiao took the original owner down the mountain the next day, and the original owner followed down the mountain with some curiosity. Fortunately, her body had been trained and she could still walk, and she was a little excited.
You must know that this is the first time she has walked so far. Ling Xiao's memories are not very immersive to her. Now that she is doing it herself, she knows that the scenery outside is really good, but she gradually feels a little warm.
.
The original owner's first thought when he saw the town was a little uncomfortable, but he was stopped by Ling Xiao and had to follow him. In this way, the two of them walked around the town and bought some
Daily necessities.
Ling Xiao specially asked the original owner to carry things up the mountain. The original owner was very energetic at first, but then she felt very hot. Only later did she realize how heavy it was to carry things up the mountain. It was so heavy that she had to rest for several times.
This time, I was very thirsty.
It wasn't until she couldn't carry Ling Xiao that she finally started to carry him. Only then did the original owner finally realize that she was living so happily because there was someone behind her carrying him. Without Ling Xiao, he was nothing.
Ling Xiao even told her on the way that the vegetables they ate were all grown by themselves and there was no need to go down the mountain to buy them. Otherwise, they would have to go down the mountain to buy them. Living in the mountains was not very convenient.
After listening, the original owner always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't find the reason. Later, she didn't care about her previous thoughts. She understood the rationale, but really figuring it out was another matter.
After thinking about it for a few days, she finally understood why Ling Xiao wanted to go down the mountain? Because it was not very convenient to live on the mountain. Without Ling Xiao's help, I'm afraid there would be problems. It would take a whole day to go back and forth.
time, then she might as well go down the mountain.
She lowered her head and went to Ling Xiao to tell her her thoughts. After thinking about it for a while, she found that she had no ability to make money. If she annoyed Ling Xiao, she would not be able to afford it. Even if she didn't want to leave, she wouldn't be able to make money.
Must go.
After knowing this, Ling Xiao glanced at the original owner and naturally found that she didn't mean what she said. However, Ling Xiao naturally would not sympathize with the original owner. He had already given her a reprieve for nearly half a year. How could he find a suitable person to educate the original owner if she continued to stay?
Now she had too many problems waiting to be solved, so Ling Xiao found a convoy and wanted to go on the road with her. After all, she didn't really want to reveal that she had a certain level of force.
Since he no longer lives in the mountains, Ling Xiao began to think about where to live. Big cities, especially those with strong commercialization, were not suitable. You must know that in this dynasty, there were still servants stationed in the palace, which was very annoying.
Also, don’t go where the feudal kings are. The feudal kings there are just local snakes. She doesn’t like those feudal kings very much. Some of the feudal kings are like local emperors in their own fiefdoms, and she still doesn’t want to deal with them.
Although the feudal princes have been raised like pigs, they are still part of the royal family. It doesn't matter if they look down on the prince, but if they rise to the point of looking down on the royal family, it will be very troublesome.
Moreover, the wives married by feudal kings all came from small families, which often meant that the people in their families did not necessarily have any discernment. Sometimes the king of hell was easy to meet, but the villain was difficult to deal with, so they would act under the banner of the palace.
, it is better to stay away from the position of these feudal kings, otherwise a bad person will become their prey.
Of course, big cities are not very suitable, but it doesn't mean that you have to live in the countryside. It's not that she looks down on country people, but the country cares more about clan, and many people living in villages are mostly illiterate.
Illiterate people often don't know many truths. The so-called simple people may represent ignorance and stubbornness. If you want to live in a village, should you buy a house? Should you buy land?
These are all problems, and there is another problem. The original owner is a woman. If one accidentally meets a young man, it is equivalent to marrying that man, whether he wants to or not.
Because people in the village generally have some connections, and as outsiders, if their families have some money or land, I'm afraid there will be many people in the village who want to marry the original owner, and they may use a lot of tricks.
For example, if the original owner bumped into a man, it might have been someone else's plan. According to the stereotypes against women, people in the village would say that the original owner was no longer innocent, which would be very troublesome.
Because in this era, if a girl is unlucky enough to be bullied by a man, not only will she not be able to get help from the law, but those people will all say in one voice: Just marry that bastard.
Even if the woman is bullied, but because she is not innocent, she should get married! After getting married, everyone can be happy, but if she really gets married, she will be despised by the man, as if her innocence is gone.
Later on, he can take advantage of the woman's livelihood, and can rely on the convenience of his status to exploit the original owner. This will completely control the original owner, and when the original owner gives birth to a child, he will basically not run away at all.
It is absolutely foolish to think that the countryside is a so-called pastoral. Before she took the original owner to live there, if she thought she could be in harmony with the people in the village, she would know that this was purely a dream, and the countryside had its own rules.
The villagers are not all simple and kind, but more of them are people who want to take advantage of them. Ling Xiao knows this well, so he has no intention of living in that kind of place. Ling Xiao has no intention of having anything to do with them.
, then there will be a lot less choices in the remaining places,
