"Shouldn't the child stay at home with his father..." The speaker was Dou Yuan, a disciple of Mr. Shunan.
"According to Donglin Kingdom law, the child does follow the father... But, Mr. Heju, if the child's mother's family is of higher status, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the child to stay with the father?"
After carefully considering Cao Ke's meaning, Dou Yuan suddenly realized, "Yes, I think this matter is too simple."
With His Highness here, the status of women in Fanzhou and Qingshizhou has been greatly improved.
Moreover, a precedent has been set for women to serve as officials. As long as they are officials, they will always have different ranks. If the two divorce, the child will naturally follow the man who can provide him with a good development.
If the child can develop better by staying with the mother, who would abandon the child to the husband's family after the divorce?
"I agree with Mr. Xingzhi. I believe that as long as you are one of my subjects, you can register your own household, but the conditions must be slightly improved.
For example, if you move your household registration independently, you lose your inheritance rights in the family... or if you move your household registration independently, you require a separate residence from your parents..."
"Your Highness is right. This will not only solve the problem of arbitrary household registration, but also ensure that those who want to register are truly prepared."
"Your Highness is very thoughtful."
Ji Wan held the little girl Ji Zhuo in his arms and discussed with the gentlemen for a whole day. Finally, based on the opinions of the barrage, Mr. Shunan's apprentices, and several counselors, he decided on the latest policy.
Among them, barrage opinions accounted for 50%, and the rest accounted for 50%.
After all, this policy change is for the people, so naturally we have to listen to their opinions.
When he returned to the Zhenbei Palace, Ji Wan took out the envelope that he had not had time to look at because he had been busy all day.
It was Yang Guan who sent the letter via the messenger bird yesterday. To be honest, Ji Wan was still angry with Yang Guan and was even struggling over whether to open the letter he sent.
It's better not to open it. If you do, it will definitely talk about his master Xilingci...
It’s better to open it, in case something important happens and she misses it…
"Your Highness, is this the letter Eunuch Yang sent you?"
Deji is a smart little eunuch and will naturally help his master to perform in front of Ji Wan.
Ji Wan nodded.
"Then why don't you open it and take a look, Your Highness? After all, Eunuch Yang has been gone for almost two months. His journey was arduous, and we servants miss him a little! Perhaps he will be much thinner when he returns..."
Ji Wan: "Then...then open it." His tone was very hesitant, but he tore off the wax seal with nimble hands and feet.
Picking up a few thin pieces of paper, Ji Wan felt a pang in her heart. Damn Yang Guan, he finally knew to write a letter to her!
The meaning of the paper is probably "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ningxi will arrive in Fanzhou in five days."
Ji Wan: "..." You wrote two or three pages just to write this sentence?
Five days...Excluding the two days when I didn’t read the letter sent by Yang Guan, there are still three days left.
In other words, her biological brother will arrive in Fanzhou in three days?
"Forget it, Deji, go tell Mother and Nanny Nie the good news."
After thinking for a while, Ji Wan said, "I don't know what style of residence my brother likes. You go down and prepare it first, and let my brother live in my mother's house temporarily.
I will check on Xuanniao's health. If he is well, I will move in with my mother and brother. If he is not well yet, I will let my brother spend more time with my mother.
Xilingci came from Ningxi Kingdom, which was also called the Hu people's country by the people in the Central Plains.
Living habits and so on should be different from those in Donglin Country.
Ever since she knew who her biological father was, Ji Wan had secretly inquired about it. Over the years, apart from her brother who was born to the same mother, the emperor of Ningxi Kingdom had no other children.
Then, would my brother think that he is also looking forward to meeting her...?
Or is this trip mainly to see your mother?
Forget it, forget it, everyone is coming anyway, you’ll know when you meet them!
With some trepidation, Ji Wan accompanied Liang Yan to sleep in the small tent in the Government Affairs Office for two more nights.
Fortunately, his condition had gradually improved, and Ji Wan was finally able to see Xilingci and Yang Guan on the morning of the day they arrived in Qingshizhou.
Move your quilt to your mother's house.
Then, after waiting at the city gate for half an hour with anticipation on his face, Ji Wan finally saw the shadow of a team of carriages.
A smile appeared on her face, and she was about to turn around and talk to Xiling Mingyue when the ground beneath her feet suddenly shook, and crows and sparrows in the sky fell down from their flight.
After a panic, Ji Wan reacted quickly and supported Xiling Mingyue: "Xiao Ling, quickly help mother..."
The shaking under his feet became more and more severe, and Ji Wan fell to the ground, unable to speak.
At this time, the shaking underfoot had not stopped yet, and large chunks of stone bricks from the city wall fell down.
Accompanied by loud "boom" and "boom" sounds, the city wall that could usually withstand large siege equipment now became as brittle as paper, and huge rocks fell to the ground like water as it swayed left and right.
Dust was everywhere. The moment she fell to the ground, she reacted extremely quickly and rushed towards Xiling Mingyue, hugging Xiling Mingyue's head.
To prevent Xiling Mingyue from being hit by the huge rocks falling from the city wall.
Ji Wan has the protective formation given by Tuoba Feng on her body. As long as her mother is under her, she will not be hit!
Nie Ying and Deji also rushed towards the mother and daughter in an instant, trying to use their bodies to help Ji Wan and Xiling Mingyue block the falling rocks.
The ground was shaking continuously, and the city wall was reduced to ruins in a short moment. Ji Wan's eyes were spinning, and he could only see the frightened faces of Nie Ying, Deji and Xiling Mingyue.
Ji Wan barely raised his head amidst the falling rocks and looked in the direction of the carriage convoy.
She didn't know if there was something wrong with her eyes, or if the once blue sky had really turned red. The roar of thunder never stopped in her ears.
She tried to look up into the distance, but unexpectedly she could only see clearly a few dozen meters away.
The earth suddenly opened its mouth, revealing a deep crack. Black water continuously gushed out of the big mouth, and frogs and snakes fled in all directions.
The convoy was swallowed up by the yawning crack in the ground in an instant before it even reached the vicinity!
Ji Wan watched helplessly as the crack in the ground quickly closed again.
There are also Yang Guan and her brother!
The entire carriage team actually fell into the crack in the ground!
Ji Wan felt a chill all over his body: "Xiao Ling, quickly set up the city defense formation!" As soon as he finished speaking, the shaking on the ground stopped.
The whole process takes no more than eight seconds.
In the distance, the ground cracked and closed, and glaring, blood-red blood flowed up from the bottom. The ground was extremely smooth, and there was no trace of its previous hideous appearance.
The smell of dirt and dust floating in the air from the huge rock falling to the ground instantly rushed into Ji Wan's nostrils.
