son-in-law

Chapter 301 Chapter [-]
Except for the bloody battle, this was the most exciting day for Su Yu since he came to the princess mansion.

I usually chat with my friends, and I have also heard about the trial marriage of the pre-selected man before the princess princess gets married.

The trial marriage in the Liang Dynasty was not much different from that in the Qing Dynasty. The woman sent a few maids to have sex with the pre-selected man. After several months of experiments, to see if the maids were pregnant.If several maids are unable to conceive, or if the trial marriage experience is very bad (the pre-selected man has physical defects, mental problems, extremely bad character, etc.), then the marriage may be annulled.

For example, Zhao Yu tried to marry Zhan Yulin, and sent eight court ladies at a time, and it is said that Zhan Yulin had a good meal.In order to marry the princess, Lao Zhan worked hard to please all the trial marriage women.But the fate of those trial marriage women was not good.Some died, and some shaved their families.In short, there is not a single test girl left in the Dachang Princess' mansion.

The queen appointed a trial marriage, which mostly happened to the princess, and the princess did not live in the palace, they were all arranged by their own family.But as the princess of Dacheng, Tang Linger received special care from the queen.

The trial marriage system in the Liang Dynasty was really cruel, and most of the pregnant maids could not give birth to children.If a girl is born, the servant girl can still live; if a boy is born, the servant girl will die.The maids dare not gamble with their lives.

After more than 100 years of evolution, this cruel trial marriage system has changed slightly.The kind-hearted princess and princess couldn't bear to see the death of her maid who had followed her for a long time.But cruel things would happen soon after birth, when it was found that it was a boy, the mother-in-law smothered the child to death on the spot, saying Tianyao. (In the Liang Dynasty, men were not allowed to enter the delivery room, which was a great taboo).

Due to the cruel consequences, the vast majority of pregnant women still choose abortion.But relying on Liang Chao's medical level, it would be extremely dangerous to do so.Every year, a few people die because of trial marriages.Su Yu also thinks that trial marriage is very inhumane.

Regarding the trial marriage, it was also a major point of the Southern Jin Dynasty's criticism of the Liang Dynasty. It was said that the royal family of the Liang Dynasty was a group of barbarians, and only the court established by the barbarians would do things like this.

Su Yu also believed that what Southern Jin scolded Liang Chao was not necessarily wrong.

Trial marriage is a common practice in the royal family, and it has been written into the "Da Liang Ritual Law", but Su Yu never considered that this matter would happen to him.The promoter of this incident was not Tang Ling'er, but Empress Cao who was sitting deep in the palace.It is said that the news first reached Tang Zhen.Tang Zhen said that as the Duke of the state, he cannot take the lead in breaking the etiquette, let alone reject the queen's "mother's ceremony".

The queen ordered, and the Duke of the country seconded it, so this matter happened, otherwise, with Tang Linger's temper, how could it be possible to arrange such a "beautiful event" for Su Yu.

Suddenly I feel that Empress Cao is a good person, and the image of Eighteenth Brother is becoming more and more stalwart... Of course, these words have a strong color of personal fantasy, and they are all based on Su Yu's personal feelings when he is half-drunk.

What Su Yu didn't expect was that he would discuss this issue with Tang Ling'er face to face, and the atmosphere in the room was very awkward.It could be seen that Tang Linger was very dissatisfied with this matter.Su Yu believed that if Tang Zhen hadn't asked for this matter, Tang Ling'er would have refused in front of the queen.It's like when the Empress Dowager Chen wanted to let the concubines be buried, she outspokenly opposed it.

The lights were dim, and the face of Princess Chang'an was iron blue.

"The empress planned to send two maids to test you, but I have declined." Tang Linger's voice trembled, and she stabilized her mood: "There are so many maids in our family, there is no need to get two more. And I am worried that they will bring you Other tasks. As for the candidates for the test girl, I also have considerations. Wang Xun, Lin Wan, and Wang Xiu have all expressed their loyalty to me, saying that they will not marry in this life. They are not too young, and they are all girls."

No wonder Wang Xun had such a strange expression today. From what Tang Linger said, he wanted these three old girls to try marriage.

But thinking about Wang Xun's appearance as Nanny Rong, I really don't like it, getting together with her is a kind of torture; Lin Wan is virtuous and dignified, but she is Lin Chongyang's sister, and she herself has a big sister Temperament, even thinking about it, I feel that I can't do it; as for Wang Xiu, that maid looks really...

After drinking a lot of wine, his mind became detached. In order not to annoy Tang Linger, he controlled it all the time and said as calmly as possible: "Do you have to try it? If Linger doesn't like it, we can cooperate to deceive the queen."

Tang Linger squinted, and read a suspicious look from her eyes, as if to say: You really have a problem? ——If he didn't drink so much wine, Su Yu wouldn't make this judgment.

After looking away, Tang Linger sighed: "From the bottom of my heart, I hate this. But I also thought about it, you men can't control it. Not to mention others, even the brothers in the family, none of them can do it. Only be nice to your wife. I don't even want to talk about other people's son-in-law. However, I want to say something first. Touching the maid at home is considered stealing; touching a woman outside is considered stealing. You take the things at home. Let me know. And outside, you are not allowed to steal any of them."

Speaking of this, Tang Ling'er shuddered all over, as if she felt like gnashing her teeth: "Otherwise, don't blame me for falling out."

Although these words were true, it was not easy for Tang Linger to say them.

Su Yu could understand her mood, nodded and said: "I can do it without stealing it, and I can also do it without taking it. In fact, I am doing the same now."

Hearing this, Tang Linger's mood eased a lot, but she still looked excited, obviously she didn't believe it.

The room was quiet and depressing.

After thinking about the three people Tang Linger mentioned just now, she felt more and more inappropriate. She raised her eyes to see Tang Linger's face, which was not as livid as it was at the beginning.

Su Yu coughed lightly: "Wang Xun and the others are very important to you. If you become a probationary girl, you may not be able to use it anymore, which is also a loss to you. Can we consider... changing someone? One That's fine, there's no need for three."

Tang Linger remained silent with a cold face.

"Then I think it's better to forget it." Su Yu scratched his head: "I have no problem, I don't need to try."

Tang Ling'er said after a while: "This matter is usually arranged by the woman's elders, but my parents are long gone, and I don't want my second uncle and Qiugu to arrange it for me."

Persuading himself not to make trouble in his heart, Su Yu sat there silently.

Tang Linger said: "Why, are you tired of the three of them?"

"It's not boring, it's just thinking about you."

"Then what do you think of Xiao Huan?"

Su Yu thought about it, but he was too familiar with it, so he shook his head.

"Tang Fei?"

Su Yu continued to shake his head.

"Tang Xiaofei?"

Shaking his head.

"Then tell me one." Tang Linger turned her head with a cold face.

Su Yu hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Feng Yu."

That night, Tang Ling'er summoned Feng Yu to talk. What they said, Su Yu didn't know, and fell asleep as soon as he returned to the room because of alcoholism.

-

The next morning.

As soon as Xiao Huan opened the door, she saw Feng Yu standing at the door with a small bag on her back.

The little beauty was full of shyness, holding the backpack strap tightly with both hands, looking a little at a loss.

Xiao Huan pushed Feng Yu to the back of the house, and said with a bitter face, "You really agreed?"

Feng Yu tightened her hands: "The princess asked me to come, how dare I refuse..."

Xiao Huan's eyes were slightly red: "It's very dangerous. You know the fate of the test girl..."

Feng Yu gritted her teeth, lowered her head and said, "Then I'm happy too."

-

Seventh senior brother hasn't come yet, but Cao Sheng has already prepared a substitute for the prince.I don't know where Master Cao bought the child. Fendudu is a beautiful man, who looks more like a prince than the dark and thin Zhao Liangjun.

Zhao Liangjun was born like a dry monkey, he couldn't get fat by eating anything, and he looked like a child from an extremely poor family.The Prince's Party also made an article about the prince's appearance, saying that Mr. Zhao Liang was an unlucky prime minister who might harm the country.On the other hand, Zhao Zhun, Prince Geng, was dignified, quite reminiscent of a former emperor.

The prince substitute is in place, and Ouyang Jing is going to take the fake prince around to comfort the suburban residents.There were only thirty guards by his side, which made Ouyang Jing feel too thin.But Master Cao didn't arrange for more people, so Ouyang Jing could only hire experts with his own money.And you can't hire too many, otherwise it would be unsightly to destroy Master Cao's plan.

"Huh? It's broad daylight, why is the door closed?"

Ouyang Jing came to look for it at all times, but found that Lao Huang, Xiao Huan, Tong Yu, and Tong Xi were all sitting outside, and the door of the penthouse was bolted.

Looking carefully at the four people, their expressions were a little strange.

Old Huang said with a grin: "I have said long ago that our young master persisted. It has been more than an hour from Maoshi to Chenshi."

"What's the mess?" Ouyang Jing blinked: "Old Huang, call the door quickly, I have something urgent to find Jin Feng."

"The time is beautiful, don't disturb it." Lao Huang said mysteriously.

At this time, Su Yu's voice came from the room: "Come in."

Ouyang Jing was impatient and had already stood at the door.The door opened, and Feng Yu's face was flushed, and her hair was a little messy.Seeing Ouyang Jing, Feng Yu hastily saluted and walked away quickly.It seems a bit inconvenient to watch the girl walk.

Ouyang Jing has been romantic for decades, and he can see the problem at a glance.

"The girl's eyebrows are open."

Ouyang Jing murmured, and trotted into the room: "Jin Feng, you are so brave, you are trying to make a maid under the eyes of the princess? Brother, I am at home, and I dare not do it in front of your grandson and sister-in-law."

Su Yu briefly told Ouyang Jing about the trial marriage.Ouyang Jing found it interesting, and asked Su Yu, how many test girls were there in total, ten or eight?Su Yu said there was only one, but Ouyang Jing laughed at him for a while, saying, there are at least three other families, why is your family so poor?Is this too poor to afford a maid?I will buy it for you!Was flatly rejected by Su Yu.

After a few words of ridicule, and before introducing the main topic, Ouyang Jing said that the Prince's team set off at the right time.Su Yu said, when I go to Li's warehouse to change my outfit, I will be there.In addition, the Honghei Temple will be notified to ask Tang Lian to send several masters to Ningrenfang to hide among the common people and wait there for the prince to arrive.
