Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 745
The most fundamental reason why Zhu Youjian wanted to fulfill the good deeds of Chen and Liu was his appreciation and sympathy for Liu Rushi.

Liu Rushi advocated the concept of freedom and equality, and after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, she first wanted to drown herself in the water and then did her best to support the anti-Qing rebels, all of which fully demonstrated her distinctive personality and strong family and country feelings. Among them, the countless literati and celebrities who shave their hair and dress easily are much more admirable.

However, Liu Rushi's concept of demanding relatively equal rights is absolutely unacceptable to the traditional concepts of the world, and Chen Zilong, who is deeply poisoned by this kind of thinking that men are superior to women, is one of them.

Zhu Youjian believes that this should be the main reason why the two finally separated.

Because from the fact that Qian Qianyi, the "Donglin prodigal son", resolutely married Liu Rushi with the gift of a concubine and gave him full respect in spite of the huge secular opposition, it can be seen that Liu Rushi's heart is more hopeful. The recognition and respect of the society, instead of treating yourself as a prostitute.

It was precisely because Chen Zilong could not give what Qian Qianyi could give, that Liu Rushi finally married Qian Muzhai, who was over fifty years old, in the [-]th century.

But unfortunately, after Qian Qianyi's death, the villagers gathered to seize his real estate. In order to protect Qian Qianyi's family property, Liu Rushi committed suicide with a thread of silk. He was only 46 years old.

Zhu Youjian was also deeply moved by the final ending of this strange woman.

No matter who Liu Rushi ends up marrying with, it shouldn't have such a bleak end.

He sincerely hoped that this woman who was born beautiful, excellent in painting and calligraphy, extremely glamorous, talented, and whose appearance was the first of the "Eight Beauties of the Qinhuai River", could have a good home and make the world have more beautiful memories. One less dark and dirty.

No matter how Qian Qianyi at both ends of the first mouse is criticized by later generations, at least he is commendable in terms of his relationship with Liu Rushi. He has shown with his actions that he really loves Liu Rushi and does not treat Liu Rushi as a toy. and tools.

When Qian Qianyi married Liu Rushi, his wife, Mrs. Chen, was still at home.

Lao Qian's unethical behavior aroused the indignation of the Songjiang gentry.

On the day of the wedding, the local gentry gathered many farmers and villagers to throw bricks and rubble at the wedding team. Some even rushed forward and tried to beat Liu Rushi. Although they failed in the end, Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi felt humiliated.

After the two got married, Qian Qianyi spent all his family's wealth and built the magnificent "Jiangyun Tower" and "Red Bean Pavilion" for her in Yushan. Light landscape, accompanied by poetry and wine, has created many excellent poems.

Qian Qianyi loves and respects Liu Rushi, and more importantly, he can give Liu Rushi full freedom.

According to the current rules, after a woman is married, unless it is absolutely necessary, she is not allowed to show her face to contact with the opposite sex outside. This is one of the ways of women that the world often talks about.

But after Liu Rushi married into Qian's family, she often wore Confucian clothes and went out to receive guests. Qian Qianyi praised her as "Liu Rushi" for this reason.

If it were Chen Zilong, he probably wouldn't allow her to behave like this.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing.

I am just worrying about it.

Is it just because of Qian Qianyi's scandalous deeds that he later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty that he should be completely denied?
Although the current world has undergone tremendous changes because of his arrival, many historical details are still tenaciously running according to the original track.

It has been 14 years since Chongzhen, if nothing unexpected happens, Liu Rushi should have married into the Qian family, right?

Zhu Youjian's expectation was right. Just a few days before Fang Yizhi and others returned to China, Qian Qianyi formally married Liu Rushi with a big gift.

"Ma'am, someone from downstairs sent a note, and specifically instructed that it must be handed over to Madam in person. The man also said, I hope Madam can reply with just a few words!"

A beautiful maid came upstairs and handed a thin, unsigned envelope to Liu Rushi.

In the Cuibi Tower by the Qinhuai River, Liu Rushi, who was all dressed up, was looking around at the bronze mirror, for fear that her makeup might be a little flawed.

In another hour, the wedding procession will arrive.

I finally got my wish and became the wife of Qian Muzhai, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, instead of someone's concubine. The ambition I set up since childhood finally became a reality. God really treats me well.

However, while Liu Rushi was full of joy, there was still a trace of inexplicable regret deep in her heart.

That strange man whom he loved deeply has become a passerby after all.

"Did the visitor identify himself?"

Liu Rushi's heart moved when he heard the words, and then he stretched his arms, and his delicate palms poked out from the wide sleeves to take the envelope.

Although it was not signed, her intuition told her that it was sent by that person.

Opening the envelope, poking inside with slender fingers, a piece of folded high-quality mulberry paper was pulled out, unfolding the paper, a kind of handwriting that I was familiar with and unusual came into view, and the delicate and graceful Zhao body showed a hidden charm. sadness.

This is a word.

"Jiang Chengzi's illness rises to the end of spring"

A sick pillow at five o'clock.Xiaoyun is empty, and the volume is red.The ruthless spring, when will it be gone.Add me a thousand lines of clear tears, I can't keep it, I'm in a hurry.

The grass in Chu Palace and Wu Yuan is soft and fluffy.Loving Fang Cong, wandering around bees.It is expected that in the coming year, we will meet on the screen.People laugh at themselves when they are sad, and dance with the east wind with swallows.

Obviously, this poem expresses deep lovesickness. The poem is full of memories of the past, and at the end it reveals my deep sense of reluctance.

In the first sentence, the author hints that he has become ill with love.

This was written and sent by Chen Zilong.

Liu Rushi chanted in a low voice repeatedly, and before she knew it, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the mulberry paper. The scenes of the two of them getting along day and night six years ago, and the scenes of the flowers before the flowers and the willows under the willows came to mind.

Lang loves concubines, loves sincerely, envied by the world, and congratulated by friends.

Liu Rushi thought this was the end of her life.

But the good times are always short, and the reality is always ruthless and cruel.

When the former partner of the betrayer came to the door, all the tenderness and sweetness were blown away by the rain and the wind in the blink of an eye.

But what Liu Rushi never expected was that Chen Zilong actually sent such a poem at this time, what is he going to do?
"Lian'er, go downstairs and tell the messenger that Yang Ai is Qian's wife from now on.

If the poems are harmonious, Qian Yang's should be shallow to respond, except for this, don't say anything else! "

Liu Rushi gently wiped away the tears, and gave orders softly but decisively.

In December of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian ordered to amend the relevant provisions of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".

"When an ordinary husband dies, all property under his name will be inherited by his wife, concubine and children, and other fathers, brothers, and clansmen have no right to ask for it. Violators will be charged with the crime of illegally seizing other people's property. Not to be pardoned.

Officials of a department must be dealt with impartially according to the law, and those who bend the law for personal gain will be punished with the same crime. "

　Thanks Qichenxing for the reward.
