In this way, Hu Yan became famous in the Yang Family Academy, and went to give a class every seven days, which was one of the best etiquette methods. As the granddaughter of the current Ministry of Rites, she has also had some of her own experience since she was a child.

Today, it happened that there was no class, and the two girls invited each other to come to the garden to see the fish, and when they were looking at themselves, a white shadow rushed outside the courtyard, who would it be if it wasn't the Snow Lady?

"Slow down, running so fast, where does it seem like the third lady did it?" Seeing the Snow Lady fluttering like the wind, Hu Yan pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Two sisters, I'm really angry." Xue Niangzi knew that Hu Yan was joking, so she didn't take it to heart, but sat down at the round table with an angry face, and then said what she saw and heard in the capital today.

As one of the famous Oiran in the Beijing Division, Snow Lady has a gentle personality and has seen a lot of the world. Some problems can be easily solved in front of her. Since becoming the third lady of the loyal and courageous father, her reputation and status have skyrocketed, and there are very few people who dare to provoke her, and I really don't know what will provoke her so quickly.

"What happened? Provoked the third sister so unhappy? Hu Yan asked with a curious expression. Although Qiaoyin on the side did not speak, the look in his eyes already represented the same meaning.

"That's right..."The Snow Lady said in a voice with an angry voice, which gave a rough account of what happened in the Jingshi. According to what she said, the streets and alleys of Jingshi are full of women who sell women, and even some old women who are nearly fifty years old are selling themselves on the street, and they have invited literati somewhere, and they also write about some of their specialties, such as cooking deliciously, for example, being good at women's popularity, such as cleaning up the house and yard very neatly, and so on. In order to sell themselves better.

As I saw along the way, the status of women is so miserable, which is contrary to what the husband said that men and women should be equal, and they can contribute to society very much if they work hard. As a woman, now that she has enough social status, the Snow Lady naturally can't see such a thing happen in front of her.

"Is there such a thing? Could it be that it was caused by the conscription of the imperial court? Hu Yan is indeed smart, although Shao Yuxue has not yet said the reason, he has already guessed the reason.

Qiaoyin on the side still said with a puzzled face. "Even if it's conscription, isn't there a military household? Those who are in the capital can be recruited from the surrounding areas of the Beijing Division, why do they have to arrest people in the Beijing Division? This is the Ming Jingshi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven? In such a mess, I am not afraid of the impeachment of those imperial histories, and I am not afraid of the boiling of people's livelihood? ”

"Afraid? Of course I will be afraid. Hu Yan's eyes seemed to erupt with a burst of anger and said: "It is precisely because of fear that people are arrested from the Beijing Division, because the soldiers' families are equivalent to being in the Beijing Division, which is equivalent to having a handle in the hands of the imperial court, and what they are asked to do in the future, naturally no one will dare not do it." ”

"I see." Qiaoyin, who understood the reason, nodded slightly, but then said with some indignation, "But it is really a gentleman's act to blackmail people like this, aren't you afraid that the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound?" The husband often said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and if they do so often, they will eventually lose the hearts of the people. ”

"Gentleman? Where is there a gentleman above the Manchu Dynasty? If not, why is the husband reluctant to go to court to live with those ministers? Some people always have righteousness in their mouths, full of benevolence and morality, and they always have to benefit themselves first in what they can do. The Snow Lady also interjected with anger. Then he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly looked at Hu Yan with apologetic eyes and said, "Sister, Yuxue didn't mean that..."

"It doesn't matter." Hu Yan smiled and shook her head lightly. What she knew in her heart was that even her grandfather and father sometimes had to do something against their will and say something against their will in the court, which was originally caused by the general environment, and it was not something that someone could change.

It seems that because the Snow Lady blamed those ministers, and the eldest lady Hu Yan was involved, the atmosphere in the back garden was a little awkward for a while. Qiaoyin, who felt it, hurriedly interjected: "By the way, even if so many women sell themselves, can some sell them?" ”

"Of course." Speaking of business, the snow lady regained her excitement just now, and continued: "There are many people who sell it, and the price is naturally very low, but some of them have been sold. It's just that there are more people who haven't been sold. I discussed it with my fourth sister, Xiang Niangzi, and the Immortal House accepted fifty people, but it was still a drop in the bucket after all. Later, on the way back to the village, I finally couldn't help it, and took the seven daughters, and now I have brought them into the manor. made the decision privately, and asked the two sisters to punish him. ”

The Snow Lady sincerely apologized. This is not because of her identity that makes her afraid, but in fact it is respectful.

"Well done, how can you punish it? In my opinion, there are still fewer people who collect them, and there should be more. After hearing this, Hu Yan did not have the slightest sense of blame, but said with a supportive attitude.

"Yes, what the eldest sister and the third sister said is that we should do more such good deeds, even if we have the ability, then we can save one more person, it is one person, I think that the young master knows it, and he will not blame it." Qiaoyin also nodded in agreement. She has been with Yang Chendong for the longest time, so she naturally knows what can be done, and what can be done, and what can't be done.

said that just now, outside the back garden, Hu Yan's personal maid Xiaoqing hurriedly arrived, and before coming closer, she first greeted the three ladies one by one, and then said: "The seventh sister is back, and there are ten girls about ten years old who came back with her, all of them are pitiful." ”

"Hehe, it seems that the seventh sister also has a kind heart, even if that's the case, what are we waiting for? Just go and save people. As soon as Hu Yan heard that even Yang Duo had done this, how could they bear it when they had nothing to do, so she immediately proposed.

"Okay." As the initiator, the Snow Lady naturally raised her hands in agreement. However, the second lady Qiaoyin, because she was used to listening to Yang Chendong's words, said with a hesitant face, "But the young master is still teaching in the academy?" Shouldn't we say it first? ”

"The second sister also said that Rokuro is teaching, how can you disturb at will, it's better to do things first, presumably he won't blame me for waiting." Hu Yan shook her head. It's not that she is troublesome, but she is worried that Yang Chendong will not allow it after saying it, after all, if they make a move, there should not be a few people to save, so how will these people be placed? Instead of bothering, it is better to do it first, and take one step at a time. Of course, she was also afraid that Yang Chendong would not be allowed to do so. After all, this is a matter for the imperial court, and she doesn't know if there will be any adverse effects if she goes to save people by herself.

Hu Yan, as the lady of the main room, said so. The other sisters were naturally not good at saying anything, so they ordered someone to go and get the silver, then went back to the room to change clothes, took the guards, and rode straight to Jingshi in a carriage.

Among the Yang Family Academy. Today, Yang Chendong teaches you physics experiments.

A lot of test equipment was prepared before, and this new course gave everyone a refreshing feeling, and every student was full of interest, so that at lunchtime, there were many people asking questions next to them. I was so busy until the evening, when it was time to hold the lamp, Yang Chendong returned to Zhuangzi with a slightly tired body.

This time I entered the village, and all I saw were women.

There are also young ones who are three or four years old, and there are even old women over fifty years old. Of course, it's more between the teens and thirties.

A cursory glance shows that the number is at least five hundred, and this is still in the outer courtyard, and it is not clear whether there are other places to settle them. "What's going on?" With a slight tilt of his head, he asked Yang Er, who was following for protection.

Yang Erchang is tall and mighty, and he shoots fiercely, that is, sometimes when Hu Mang has a fair autumn color with his hands. It's just that his strength is extraordinary, and when he says something, he is not very powerful, and when he is asked by the sixth young master, he snorts for a long time and does not say one, two, three.

"Go and call the tiger." Yang Chendong didn't get an answer from Yang Er, so he remembered that Hu Mang, who was flexible.

"Brother Tiger was called away by the eldest lady." This time, Yang Er's answer was refreshing.

"Oh?" Yang Chendong nodded lightly after hearing this. Hu Mang is the person next to him, and he usually listens to him, and often even if there is something in Hu Yan, he will not call this person. But now that they are being used, it is enough to prove that things must be too busy.

Even so, Yang Chendong didn't ask too much, and went straight to the inner courtyard, he wanted to see for himself what Hu Yan was doing? And where did these women come from? And what are you going to do?

In the inner courtyard of Yangjiazhuang, Hu Yan took a sip of tea, and after reducing her thirst a little, she continued to say to Humang: "The arrangements of these people will be handed over to you. ”

"What did you say?" Outside the door, Yang Chendong happened to walk in at this time, and immediately asked in a high voice.

"Young Master." Hearing Yang Chendong's voice behind him, Hu Mang hurriedly turned around and saluted. In this regard, Yang Chendong waved his sleeves and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to do it?" ”

"This..."Hu Mang didn't know how to answer in front of Hu Yan, so he hesitated, but the eldest lady Hu Yan, and the second lady Qiaoyin, the third lady Xue Niangzi and the seventh sister Yang Duo in the room also stood up at the same time. Or Hu Yan replied at the head: "Liulang, I'm instructing Humang to settle those bought women?" ”

"The woman you bought?" Yang Chendong repeated with some puzzlement.

"Yes, the situation is like this..."In the next time, Hu Yan gave a general description of the situation in the Beijing Division, and finally mentioned that he and several younger sisters and the seventh sister Yang Duo couldn't bear it for a while, and bought the matter of eight hundred women.
