The real daughter is really not a human being

Chapter 159: Putting aside the love affair

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture looked at the case documents and stroked his beard for a long time.

The marriage fraud hurt both families, and the amount of money swindled was huge! Not to mention the thousands of taels of silver from the Wei family, the people of the Lu family took care of Lu Chunyu's food, drink and accommodation, and also spent a lot of effort on her.

I don't know how Lu Chunyu looks like, to be able to make two daughters of officials so infatuated. Oh, it's not infatuation, it's that he is full of lies and deceives people's feelings.

Because the case was complicated and Wei Qichen had made a suggestion, the prefect did not want to offend Wei Qichen, so he did not put the case on the spot, but went to see Lu Chunyu with a few insiders.

She does look okay, but not as good as they imagined, in other words, just average.

The case was immediately sentenced, and Lu Chunyu was sentenced to return all his property to the two families, be caned with fifty strokes of the cane, and perform five years of hard labor. His title of juren was also revoked.

The demotion of the title of Juren was a common occurrence in this dynasty. Many people who thought they could do whatever they wanted just because they had the title of Juren were later demotioned.

As for Lu Chunyu, it could be a big deal or a small deal. After this incident, he would never be able to be an official again. Moreover, two court officials were implicated, and one of them was a favorite of His Majesty.

Especially since this person came to him and greeted him, asking him to severely punish Lu Chunyu.

The Jingzhao Prefecture removed his name without hesitation!

Those who were expelled from the imperial examination system could not only not take the examination themselves, but also their sons could not take the examination. This was a harsh punishment for scholars.

After the case file was finalized, the prefect had someone make a copy and gave one to Wei Qichen and one to Lu Zhou.

Considering the reputation of the two girls, the case was not tried in public.

Wei Qichen naturally had no objection after reading it, and Lu Zhou had a similar opinion.

Get rid of this guy, keep his mouth shut, and keep him away. If he comes to the capital to make trouble again, don't blame him for being rude!

Lu Chunyu returned most of the property he had taken from Wei Qichen and Wei Shiyuan, but the ginseng had already been used by Madam Lu, so it was difficult to return an identical one.

So he spent a lot of money to buy one in the capital, and then prepared a generous gift and sent it to the Wei family.

Wei Shiyuan thought about it and decided to accept the gift. She was afraid that if she didn't accept it, the Lu family would misunderstand her, so she asked someone to prepare a similar gift and send it over.

The two families felt relieved. Although Lu Chunyu was missing, at least they had one more friendship.

The young lady of the Lu family will have no trouble finding a husband, and Wei Shiyuan will have no trouble getting married either.

After solving the problem, Wei Shiyuan sat in the yard, holding Yaoguang's hand and sighing, "It is said that as long as a girl is well-educated, learns everything a wife should do, and chooses a good husband, she can rest assured... Where in the world can such a good thing happen?"

"Not to mention that it's hard to find a gentleman, even if you marry a good husband, you will inevitably have three wives and four concubines in the future, and you will have to raise some illegitimate sons and daughters for him!"

This was the reason why Wei Shiyuan chose Lu Chunyu in the first place. She felt that if she chose the son of a minor official as her husband, especially one who had no achievements, he would definitely respect her and would not have several concubines in the courtyard.

Who would have known that Lu Chunyu was not even as good as those children of officials. At least they did it openly and married their concubines openly, but Lu Chunyu wanted to turn himself into a mistress.

"I've only heard of women having female virtues, but why haven't I heard of men having male virtues!" Wei Shiyuan whispered to Yaoguang.

Yaoguang nodded: "Yes, but it will take a long time, maybe hundreds of years, or even more than a thousand years?"

According to the historical process, only after the productivity is gradually liberated will people pay attention to other things.

Of course, it was also accompanied by the outbreak of war. When the men went to the front line to fight, the women who stayed at home were naturally valued.

It's not something that can be solved in a short time.

"Ah, really? Can a woman a thousand years later really be like this?" Wei Shiyuan widened her eyes, as if thinking about the feasibility of Yaoguang's words.

The achievements that future generations can make still depend on the foundation laid by their predecessors.

"Well, you can start as a female official." Yaoguang thought, this was the easiest thing Wei Shiyuan could do.

If there were female officials from generation to generation, the situation of women would definitely not be the same as before.

Wei Shiyuan smiled bitterly, "How can I be a female official?"

If she was just a female official who helped wash pens in front of the emperor, she was still a palace maid.

"Didn't the emperor want to confer an official title on me before? That shows that women can be officials." Yaoguang encouraged Wei Shiyuan.

But after hearing this, Wei Shiyuan's expression became even weirder.

"Sister is making fun of me again. If I had your ability, why would I worry about these things?" Wei Shiyuan pouted, not feeling as worried as before.

Things like love between young men and women and women in the harem are completely insignificant compared to women serving as officials.

Yaoguang's ability is enough to become an official, but her ability...

Wei Shiyuan is very clear about her own abilities.

"You can learn. Aren't you learning it very well? I think you farm better than others. If you don't want to learn farming, you can learn something else. I can teach you." Yaoguang said seriously.

There are more than just farming to become an official. In Yaoguang's opinion, there are too many people in the capital who know how to farm. Everyone has read agricultural books, and everyone hopes to learn these skills and become an official after that. This track is really too crowded.

It’s better to change to another track, one that no one has ever been on.

Under Yaoguang's persuasion, Wei Shiyuan's heart was shamefully moved, but she had not yet decided what to do.

She didn't know much, but there were many people in the capital who could do what she knew better than her. But when it came to what she didn't know, there were also many people in the capital who knew.

So Wei Shiyuan asked Yaoguang if there was anything that no one else knew but Yaoguang knew, and she could learn it.

Yaoguang immediately gave Wei Shiyuan dozens of examples of professions, which made Wei Shiyuan's eyes widen.

Mainly because I have never heard of it and don’t know what it is.

Yaoguang asked Wei Shiyuan to go down, and she would take some time to write a note and explain it to her.

Yaoguang was thinking about some careers that would be suitable for Wei Shiyuan, and was writing down some relevant information about the careers for her.

A carriage quietly drove into the capital.

"System, you said that the technological points in the capital are quite concentrated, but it doesn't seem to be particularly concentrated to me! There are a lot more people here than in the border areas, but the clothes, food and daily necessities don't seem to have changed much..." Meng He lifted the curtain and looked at the capital city in front of him.

Meng He was the Da Jin name he gave himself. His previous name Bayin was really weird.

His early deceased mother and cheap father did not give him a name, so the people below him gave him a cheap name.
