It stands to reason that the Republic of China should be better than the Qing Dynasty, and the west wind spread to the east. With the widespread spread of the "monogamy" concept of Western civil law in China and the rise of the women's rights movement, the concubine system has been increasingly criticized by public opinion.

It is considered to be one of the manifestations of feudal dross, and the government's response is to passively deny the identity of concubines and indirectly deny the behavior of concubines, that is, to avoid the issue of concubinage.

Therefore, although China is said to be the Republic of China, today in the 10th year of the Republic of China, the Beiyang government still compiled 7 chapters of the "Draft of Civil Code for Relatives" based on the 4th year of the Republic of China. This is actually a reprint of the "Draft of Civil Code of the Qing Dynasty".

Its chapters are roughly the same as the draft of the Qing Dynasty Civil Code Relatives Law, except that a very few provisions that could never be used in the Republic of China were deleted.

The Beiyang government's draft civil code basically followed the "Draft Civil Code of the Qing Dynasty". The word concubine did not appear in its legal provisions, but there were still legal provisions for "legitimate son" and "concubine", which undoubtedly acquiesced to the legality of the existence of the concubine system.

, acquiescing to the continued existence of concubines. Therefore, the explicit recognition and tacit approval of concubinage in the Civil Law of the Republic of China has resulted in the practice of concubinage still prevailing in society, and all strata of society are filled with families with concubines.

But fortunately, the "Qing Civil Code Draft" is not as early as the "Qing Code", and it is still applicable now.

It's just that Wang Wenwu also had a headache when he looked at the small girl in front of him. In the north, most of them were engaged when they were about ten years old due to natural and man-made disasters. Although the "Civil Code" formulated by the Beiyang government stipulates: "Men are under 18 years old and women are under 16 years old."

Those who are 13 years old are not allowed to get married." The matchmaker took Wang Wenwu to see several people who were getting married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

I told the matchmaker that I shouldn't always take him with me to meet at such a young age, and I suddenly felt like a girl. Fortunately, Wang Wenwu was given enough money by the matchmaker, and the matchmaker didn't say anything else. Today, I took him with me to see ten.

A girl of five or six years old.

Wang Wenwu knew not to reveal his wealth, so he only told the matchmaker about the courtyard in BJ City and the manager's errands. Those with small family fortunes did not want their daughters to be concubines for people from well-off families, and this family

There are already three.

So the prime minister's family was basically not rich, and the girl looked skinny. Wang Wenwu fell in love with the third eldest son of the family, named Pan Di. The eldest and second eldest son were both married. Pan Di also had four younger sisters. Pan Di

My father planned to use the gift from Wang Wenwu to marry another one, saying that Pandi's mother would not be able to give birth to a boy. Especially when he heard the matchmaker say that Wang Wenwu had several boys, he was very envious.

He also asked Wang Wenwu if he had any secrets, and Wang Wenwu quickly said that he didn't, but Pandi's father just didn't believe it and kept asking around.

This birth of boys and girls involves genetic engineering. How could Wang Wenwu know about it? But now, among the nine children, seven are boys, and they are still the envy of men, women and children in the alley.

Seeing Wang Wenwu like this, he didn't pretend to be his father-in-law. After all, there is not much difference between marrying a daughter and selling a daughter. Zhang Muen still has a baggage after all. Pandi only has the clothes on his body, and they are full of patches. Wang Wenwu would probably have done it if he hadn't

Girls can't be shirtless, and Pandi's father might really let Pandi go with Wang Wenwu naked.

Just a piece of paper and a hundred oceans. This girl named Pandi is Wang Wenwu's concubine. After leaving Pandi's house, Wang Wenwu did not hesitate and settled the money with the matchmaker on the spot. Although the money was not much, like Wang Wenwu simply

Not too neatly, but he said a few auspicious words as he left.

After bidding farewell to the matchmaker, Wang Wenwu looked at the skinny Pandi next to him and looked around blankly. Pandi was actually quite beautiful, but his family had no money and did not eat well, so he was skinny. Wang Wenwu

He stretched out his hand to hold Pandi's, but Pandi ran away as if he was frightened.

Wang Wenwu didn't force him. He led the way and sold Pandi some clothes to wear first. Pandi followed not too far behind. When he was walking on the street, he suddenly saw Wang Wenwu turning into a shop. Pandi had a look.

The man inside was wearing something, and then he looked down at what he was wearing. He stood at the door of the shop and watched Wang Wenwu and the waiter talking. The noise around him made Pandi unable to hear what his man was saying.

I saw my man pointing his finger at me, and the guy next to him looked at me and went in. Was he being sold again?

Wang Wenwu looked at the little girl standing at the door, smiled and waved for Pandi to come in, wanting to see if there was anyone he liked. Before Wang Wenwu could say anything, Pandi completely hid, although Wang Wenwu himself

You can decide, but you still want her to make her own choice.

Pandi looked at the man who was her husband waving to him, but was he selling himself out again? Dad only smiled at himself when he married that man. Dad looked at himself and his sisters and never smiled.

He never smiled, and he beat his mother when he was unhappy. This is how his mother was beaten to death.

Pandi still remembers that when the matchmaker said that a rich man came to see the girl as a baby, his father was so happy that he even got drunk. After getting drunk, he still said that this would make him rich enough to marry a wife.

My father sold me and used the money to marry a new wife. I don’t know how my sisters are doing now. My father has never cooked and the family is almost out of rice. I don’t know if the new mother will like my sisters.

Pandi was hiding outside the shop, his thoughts racing, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name softly in his ear.

"Pandi! Pandi! Pandi!" Seeing Pandi looking at him, Wang Wenwu continued: "What are you thinking about here? Come on! Come in and pick out some clothes."

Pandi lowered his head again and whispered: "I don't dare."

In the noisy street, Wang Wenwu didn't hear what Pandi said at all. He only opened his mouth and didn't know if he said something. Wang Wenwu didn't want to delay any longer. After all, the Chinese New Year was coming soon. Wang Wenwu

There were still a few things to deal with, so I grabbed Pandi's arm and lifted Pandi into the shop.

He raised his hand to the stool and motioned for Pandi to sit down, then ignored Pandi.

At this time, the waiter came over with some western-style cheongsams.

The waiter picked up a set of cheongsam and said to Wang Wenwu: "Sir, what do you think of this outfit?"

Wang Wenwu didn't say much. He took the cheongsam from the waiter's hand and pointed it at Pandi's body. The waiter saw Pandi's clothes and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wang Wenwu's look.

Although Wang Wenwu suppressed the waiter's gaze, it was still exposed in the end. Pandi looked even more embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. The customers around him also looked happily at the pair in front of him.

.

Pandi's figure is really too thin, and her clothes always make her look too big. At this time, the old man who was watching said: "You want her to be so thin?"

A middle-aged man wearing a long coat, braids on the back of his head, and a beautiful beard answered: "What do you know? This is the authentic talent that helps the wind shake the willow."
