Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1141 Conversation on the first day of marriage

Before dawn, the high-pragmatic Gao who was used to getting up early was obviously still sleepy, but he still opened his eyes on time under the insistence of the biological clock, sat up with difficulty, touched his body towards his side, and suddenly turned his head, his whole body was in shock. awake.

Huang Zhiting is not here.

Gao Wushi quickly lifted the thin brocade quilt, but there was no one inside.

"Hey, are you up? I plan to call you later, there is no big court today, right?"

Gao Wushi followed the prestige and saw that Huang Zhiting was already fully dressed and was putting on her makeup in front of the special Western-style dressing table in Baiyu Building. At this moment, she turned her head slightly to talk to him.

"It's not surprising that I get up early. Since I was five years old, I have been required to get up so early to study. Later, when I became an official, I either went to the court early or was on duty at midnight, and I couldn't be lazy. Later, although it was not so strict. , but I have already formed a habit, and I will wake up naturally at this time. But you... don't sleep for a while?"

Huang Zhiting blushed slightly, turned around and pretended to continue arranging her makeup, and replied, "I'm going to worship the ancestral temple today, and someone will come to remind me at dawn. This is a big deal. My father warned me a few days ago I have babbled so many times that I hardly dared to sleep last night..."

"Anyway, there's not much time left to sleep." Gao Wushi lifted the brocade quilt and was about to get out of bed, and said, "After worshiping the ancestral temple and meeting relatives, I have to accept congratulations from a large group of people. I'll have to ask Gao Mo later to see if the coffee that the Portuguese from Haojing gave me last time is still there, I might have to drink some today."

Seeing him get up, Huang Zhiting quickly put down what she was doing, walked over quickly, and said, "Wait a minute."

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Do you want to wait for your husband to change clothes?"

Huang Zhiting rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's just today."

"Why? What about the future?"

"Of course it's only special today. There are so many maids in your house, don't you have someone to help him change?" Huang Zhiting picked up the high-practical uniform and began to change his clothes, saying, "Oh, by the way, you didn't have a maid before, did you?" ?”

"My mother originally arranged it, but I didn't agree."

"Now you have - I have two dowry maids, you can take them in when you find time."

When Huang Zhiting said this, her tone was very ordinary, as if she was talking about what breakfast was arranged this morning.

Gao Wushi asked in surprise, "Whose decision is this?"

When he asked this question, Huang Zhiting was also surprised. The hand that was dressing him stopped, looked at him and said, "Our children's chieftains are all like this. If we don't even have a dowry maid, it will be very embarrassing. According to our According to the rules, there are either two or four dowry maids... If you think two are not enough, I can choose two more, but I only cultivated these two at first, so I might not be able to if I add them temporarily. They were both so happy."

Gao Wushi quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I don't think you need either of these."

"Why don't you need it?" Huang Zhiting tilted her head slightly and looked at him.Suddenly he smiled: "I know what you're thinking, but that's not the point. According to the rules of our Tong family, even if a dowry maid becomes a concubine, she is still my property, not yours. If I'm not happy , They...hehe, in short, you can treat them as my substitutes, and replace me when I... am inconvenient."

Gao Wushi looked at her carefully for a while with great interest, then shook his head and said, "I really can't understand your thoughts."

Huang Zhiting wondered, "Is there anything that you can't understand?"

Gao Wushi thought for a while and said, "I heard that Na Lixuan was defeated by the cooperation of you and Miss Liu Xin this time? Then you and her should have met, right?"

"Of course I've seen her. She dressed up as a man and escorted Liu Zhongcheng to Dongyu with Jiangwoyi Ding. But her makeup was not very expressive, and she didn't even deal with her Adam's apple, and I don't think she has received special training. From the look It's easy to reveal your secrets in terms of actions and actions."

Gao Wushi didn't worry about this, but said: "If you tell Miss Liu about your idea of ​​marrying a maid just now, she will definitely oppose it."

"Why did she object?" Huang Zhiting asked in surprise, "Are you criticizing her for being jealous?"

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said, "Why am I criticizing her? I think her thoughts are very real. Do you know that when I went to Guangxi to take office, I walked with her for more than half of the journey, and she said a point of view during the journey : Love is exclusive—that is, love cannot accommodate a third person.”

Huang Zhiting suddenly said: "Oh - I know what you are talking about, but what does this have to do with love? Dowry maids are just dowry maids, and they don't need to have any love with you. Didn't I just say that they just My substitute."

Gao Wushi frowned: "But they are also human beings, and they also have their own emotions."

After hearing this, Huang Zhiting couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Sister-in-law, I had such thoughts when I was in my teens. It's a pity... there are some things that I can't change."

"Be more specific, what's the matter?" Gao Wushi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't let them marry, you should be able to do it, right?"

"No, I can't do it." Huang Zhiting shook her head and said: "If they are not allowed to marry, they will be replaced by others. This is the rule of the Tong family chieftain for nearly a thousand years. At that time, our Huang family was not even a chieftain. Since the General Assembly Yes, but they were raised as dowry maids since they were young, and they are also close to me, so why don't I use them?"

Gao Wushi wanted to continue, Huang Zhiting stretched out her hand to gently press his lips, and said, "Master, you know that the wolf soldiers are loyal, but you don't know that the dowry maids of the chieftain's family are no different from the wolf soldiers. They can do it, including dying. And now not only do they not want to die, but they can also become the pillow of Xianggong, a dragon and phoenix. For their background, there is really nothing better than this.

And this kind of inheritance that has been going on for thousands of years cannot be easily broken, unless...you want the boy chieftain to no longer be able to control the natives under his rule.Whether it is the Huang family or the Cen family, let alone other chieftain families, no one dares to break these rules. "

Gao Wushi grabbed her hand and gently moved away, frowning and asked, "Is it so serious?"

"Yes, it's that serious." Huang Zhiting nodded seriously, then sighed again, and said, "If one day you want to 'reform the country', let's talk about it again, shall we?"

Gao Wu said honestly: It seems that the chieftain has all-round control over the natives, not only physically, but even mentally. No wonder she just used 'my property' to describe her dowry maid.In the era before I traveled, "personality equality" was a universal value, but apparently in the eyes of the chieftains, this was a virus-like thought.

After thinking about this, Gao Wushi sighed and said, "Okay, let's put this aside for now. But if I don't go consummate the room with them..."

Huang Zhiting didn't seem to understand why Gao Wushi had such a strong sense of repulsion towards the dowry maids, but she nodded and said, "Of course it's the husband who decides, and the servants can't force you, let alone them."

Gao Wushi just nodded, but Huang Zhiting continued to say very seriously: "However, if I can't conceive a child, then my husband will definitely take them into the house - this is also a rule, their children can be regarded as It’s mine, and you can inherit my dowry in the future.”

Gao Wushi didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Zhi Ting, today is the first day of our wedding, can you please stop saying such things."

Huang Zhiting said apologetically, "It just happened to be about the rules...well, let's not talk about these spoilers." She then changed the subject and said, "By the way, Ms. Liu is a Han woman, why did you also talk to me about it?" Leading soldiers as well? Also, why does she have such strange ideas? You used to say that she was very smart when she was a child...does it have something to do with it?"

"Uh...she...maybe, I mean maybe it's because she's so smart that she doesn't recognize certain rules."

"Some rules? Do you mean three obediences and four virtues?" Huang Zhiting asked in surprise, "She also listened to Li Zhi's evil words?"

Of course, Gao Yushi knew that Li Zhi, a "heretical thinker", advocated equality between men and women. He criticized the view that "only women and villains are difficult to raise", believed that women also have the right to education, and criticized "women are short-sighted and unworthy of learning." Even on the issue of marriage, he also advocated freedom of marriage and love, and favored remarriage of widows and so on.

However, this old man's thinking obviously cannot become the mainstream of this era. For example, now Huang Zhiting calls him "Li Zhi's guy".

You know, Huang Zhiting is still relatively open on the issue of equal rights between men and women, and she can't even agree with it, let alone if she is a Han Chinese.

Seeing that Gao Wushi didn't answer for a long time, Huang Zhiting tied the jade belt around his waist, shook her head and said, "This Miss Liu is really talented, if...it's a pity."

Gao Yushi was a little surprised: "What if? What a pity?"

Huang Zhiting smiled, but did not answer. Instead, she looked Gao Yushi up and down and said, "Okay, look in the mirror."

It turned out that the crown belt was neat.

Gao Wushi walked up to the big bronze mirror and looked at it, and was about to express his approval, but saw Huang Zhiting slowly walking over from the mirror, his heart moved, he turned his head and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Huang Zhiting immediately spit on Xia Fei's cheeks, "Isn't it you?"

Gao Wushi walked over to her and hugged her lightly, and said, "I heard that women who practice martial arts, even if they are new to human affairs, can adapt better than ordinary women and recover faster. You are not a special case, are you?"

Huang Zhiting rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "The nanny said the same thing, she was worried that she wouldn't be popular, and I was scared for a long time, but it's okay..." As she spoke, she gradually fell silent. up.

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "It's not uncommon to not see red, it's nothing unusual, I know it."

Huang Zhiting suddenly became surprised, with a suspicious expression on her face: "How do you know?"

Gao Wushi hurriedly said: "Mr. Binhu told me that he is a master of Xinglin, and he is very familiar with such things."

Of course Li Shizhen didn't know that she had been blamed somehow, but Huang Zhiting was relieved: "It turns out that this kind of thing really happened. I have settled this kind of case in the Siming Mansion before. It was a local citizen who sued his wife for being newly married but not popular. , I was at that time... It seems that the judgment of the case was wrong. But fortunately, the woman later married a wealthy Annan businessman according to the naturalized household registration system, and she was a regular wife. She is doing well now, and I will go to Annan when I return She reversed the case."

Gao Wushi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "This...you can figure it out yourself." But when he said this, he was suddenly startled: "Go back to Annan?"

Huang Zhiting nodded and said, "That's right, I'm going to ask you about this. My husband, do you think I'll go back to Annam after I'm pregnant, or go back after giving birth here?"

It was very strange that Huang Zhiting was not shy when she said that she had a baby. Gao Wushi wondered if this was related to some customs of their children.

But this is not the point, what Gao Yushi is concerned about is her idea of ​​going back to Annan.

"Aren't you staying with me in the capital? Why do you want to go back to Annan?"

Huang Zhiting shook her head and said, "Isn't uncle also living in two places? Or do you want me to go to Xinzheng?"

Uncle does not refer to uncle or aunt. The ancients said "aunt" refers to father-in-law or mother-in-law.For example, this title is recorded in "Erya Shiqin".The book says: "A woman calls her husband's father her uncle, and her husband's mother her aunt."

And "Book of Rites·Fang Ji" records: "In the dark ceremony, the son-in-law greets him personally, and he is seen in his uncle. He and his aunt give him a son-in-law." This shows that the man went to the woman's home to greet the relatives, and when he saw the woman's parents, he also called "uncle aunt" ".Therefore, "aunt" can refer not only to father-in-law and mother-in-law, but also to father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The "uncle" Huang Zhiting mentioned here refers to Gao Yushi's parents. They also live in two places.

But Gao Wushi felt that this was very unreasonable, and frowned, "My lord (parents) separated because the Gao clan was the most educated in Zhongzhou. Besides, when they separated, I already had several younger brothers and sisters."

Huang Zhiting was happy in her heart, with a smile on her face, but she still insisted: "My father-in-law loves me, and my family is naturally happy. However, Southern Xinjiang is still the cornerstone of Southern Xinjiang, and if I am not in Annan, I still don't feel so relieved. "

Seeing that Gao Wushi frowned, as if she was about to speak, she hurriedly continued: "But don't worry, Mr. Jinghua fleet spans the north and south oceans. Although the slave family will stay in Annan to take care of this foundation, it is not impossible to spare some time. Going north to accompany Xianggong. And when the situation is stable in the future, maybe you will be able to accompany Xianggong forever."

Gao Yushi suddenly realized that women at this time were very different from those of later generations in terms of social requirements and personal mentality.Among them, the understanding of "virtuous" is very different. The reason why the ancients said "marry a wife and marry a virtuous" is also a requirement of this nature.

What is Xian?After the emperor bestowed the marriage this time, it was stated in the two copies of the edict: Blessing is prior to filial piety, which benefits Zong Yu; arresting Duoen is suitable for the family.However, if you have a prime minister, you will be honored by the left and right ministers; with Er Kexian, you will do your best to praise you all the time.

Look, the Zongfang and the family have to be taken into account, not to mention the importance, just like the prime minister of the imperial court.

So Huang Zhiting thinks that she should go to Annan to take care of the high-practical foundation, which is very reasonable and reasonable.What is unreasonable is Gao Yushi's own thinking on the contrary—he is not "native" of Daming after all, and sometimes he still brings in the thinking mode of his previous life.

After trying to understand the reason, Gao Wushi had no choice but to use the dragging formula first, and said: "Don't worry about this beforehand, hurry up and fight hard, and then talk about it when you are pregnant—I will teach you a new movement tonight."

Huang Zhiting was serious just now, but now she blushed, and turned her head away, not daring to be serious and pragmatic.

When Gao Wushi saw her, he coughed lightly: "...it's easier to get pregnant."

When Huang Zhiting heard this sentence, she immediately couldn't care less about being ashamed, and quickly turned her head and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, of course, but you might be a little tired, if you mind..."

"do not mind!"
