Kneeling in the direction of the young masters, Uncle Yang was startled.

"Girl, what are you doing?"

Chen Sideo, who was happy, put away his smile.

"What does the girl want?"

The girl lifted up her big hat, which was lined with white linen.

Finally he raised his head, revealing a delicate little face, with red eyes and a pale complexion.

"The little girl sold her body to bury her father, and begged the young master to hang the curtain."

Chen Sidao chuckled, "Why did you come to East Street after selling yourself to bury your father?"

"Does the girl know the rules of East Street?"

The girl's eyes were full of confusion. Are there any rules on East Street?

"Ever since East Street was brought under the jurisdiction of Shouan Pavilion, the drama of selling one's body to bury one's father has been banned."

"If you are really in trouble, you can go to Dongnuan Pavilion for help."

Seeing that the girl became more and more confused as she listened, Chen Sidao sighed.

"Isn't the girl from Beijing?"

The girl understood this sentence and nodded quickly.

"I am from Lianhua County. I followed my father to Beijing to do business."

"Dad was seriously ill, and even though we spent all the family's money, he still couldn't be cured."

"Now, there is no money for burial, so the little girl has no choice but to sell her body to bury her father."

Lu Ming also listened to what the girl said. When the girl knelt down, the two children were hugged back by Zhao Laosan.

"Is there really someone who sells his body to bury his father?"

Mu Yushu was surprised, "I thought it was only in the storybook."

The capital city is prosperous, and even beggars are rare to see, let alone the weak woman who sells her body to bury her father.

Besides, His Majesty has set up four pavilions in the capital, among which the East Nuan Pavilion is specially designed to take care of these weak and desperate women.

The movement here quickly attracted patrolling guards, a team of six people, who quickly arrived at the scene.

Both carriages looked expensive and luxurious, and I thought the owner inside

They are all noble people.

Such a weak woman kneeling in the middle attracted many people to watch.

The guards have now evacuated the crowd. No matter what happens, these nobles don't want to be watched.

"what happened?"

The leading guard first bowed together like Chen Sidao, and then asked Uncle Yang.

Uncle Yang's expression was complicated, "This girl sold herself to bury her father."

The guards looked solemnly, "It is forbidden to sell one's body to bury one's father on East Street. Don't you know?"

The girl was not only confused, but also scared.

She only heard that there were three religions and nine schools here, and the jurisdiction was a little looser. There were too many guards patrolling other streets, so she didn't dare to go, so she chose East Street.

I didn’t expect there were rules on East Street.

"I, I don't know."

The leading guard was a young man with an upright face, tall and burly. Seeing a weak girl kneeling on the ground trembling, and selling her body to bury her father, he looked really pitiful, and his tone softened a little.

"If you want to bury your father, you can go to Dongnuan Pavilion."

The girl sobbed softly, "Brother, where is Dongnuan Pavilion?"

She didn't dare to ask Dong Nuan Pavilion where she could bury her father. Could it be some kind of Goulan brothel where she sold herself?

Today she has offended the nobles and broken the rules. She no longer dares to beg the young master to accept her. She only asks these nobles not to argue with her.

"I didn't mean it. I don't know the rules of East Street."

The more the girl thought about it, the more frightened she became. She knelt on the ground and banged her head.

"Uncle Yang."

Unexpectedly, the little girl kowtowed as she pleased, so Chen Sidao quickly called Uncle Yang.

Uncle Yang reacted quickly and pulled the girl up.

"Stop knocking, stop knocking."

In just a moment, the girl’s head was smashed, and the mud on the road was mixed with blood.

Very embarrassed.

Lu Ming was so frightened that he took a breath, "She, what should she do?"

Mu Yuansong frowned and comforted the two restless little girls in the carriage.

"It doesn't matter, let's see how the young master of the Chen family handles it."

After helping the person up, Chen Sidao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me, can you send me to Dongnuan Pavilion?"

Without looking at the girl again, Chen Sidao bowed his hand towards the guard.

The guards of Shou'an Pavilion are subordinate to His Majesty, and Chen Huidao is also a little polite.

The guards were flattered and quickly returned the favor.

"Young master, you're too polite. It's our security guards who blame you."

After being blocked for a while, luckily no other carriages passed by. The guards took the girl away with the carriage, and the two carriages were finally able to pass.

Chen Huiji had been silent just now, but now he smiled and said: "Brother is kind-hearted, I thought you would give that girl money."

Chen Sidao looked inexplicable, "Although it looks pitiful, what if it was someone else's fault?"

"You can't just bring a maid home on the street. If she doesn't know her roots, she won't be safe if she stays at home even if she's just cleaning the house."

"Now that I'm talking, even if this girl is really pitiful, I gave her money. What if she is so stupid that she insists on selling herself to me?"

Chen Huiji nodded in agreement, "Brother is right."

Here, Lu Ming and Mu Yushu are also curious.

Why is there a special rule on Dongda Street that prohibits selling your body to bury your father?

Mu Yuansong knew a little bit about it and explained: "There were quite a lot of dramas about selling one's body to bury one's father before. There were such incidents every now and then on the streets of Beijing."

"But it's mostly someone else's fault, just a honey trap."

"Before Dongjie Street, there was a special organization that trained some beautiful girls, who learned to be spies and seducers.

ability. "

"Specially select young men from aristocratic families who are kind-hearted or lustful. According to their preferences, select a girl to sell her body to bury her father, and successfully deliver the girl to the house."

"With this one hand alone, this organization has mastered the inside information of many high-ranking families and specialized in selling it."

"Later, he was uprooted by the eldest princess, and the trick of selling his body to bury his father was also banned."

"If you encounter difficulties and force girls to sell themselves to bury their fathers, you can go to Dongnuang Pavilion for help. Only girls will be helped."

"I heard that we will arrange some work for them, so they can have something to eat."

Lu Ming was dumbfounded, what is this? Women's Protective Association?

Although I have long felt that this dynasty is different from the feudal ancient times in the traditional sense.

But after arriving in the capital, I felt it more clearly.

There are no fewer specialized schools for women than there are for men, and women can also take scientific examinations. I don’t know how many women there are in other places, but there are many women participating in the capital. Most of the women who participate are not rushing to become officials. If you have a good reputation as a talented person, you can marry into a good family.

There are even fewer female officers. Although His Majesty has opposed the public opinion and insisted on opening up the scientific examination for women, in the officialdom, it is ten thousand times more difficult for women to gain a foothold than for men. There are resistance everywhere. Fortunately, there are not no female officers. There are always brave women. to rise to the challenge.

"Wow." Lu Ming was very impressed.

"The cloth in Dongnuang Pavilion is very beautiful."

"My mother likes to buy cloth directly from Dongnuang Pavilion."

Mu Yushu gave Lu Ming popular science.

Dongnuang Pavilion did not take in these girls for free, and there was no way to help them without money.

After entering Dongnuan Pavilion, you can get a bunch of copper coins in exchange for free, and the rest is up to you. Go long.

Work less, earn more money.

Dongnuange has a lot of business, it has its own store, and it covers a wide range of businesses.

Among them, the cloth shop is the most famous. The girls are careful and skillful. The cloth weaved is exceptionally smooth and the dyed colors are brighter. They are very popular.
