The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Yao Jiazhen left the tea house in Baiyun City, walked through the Donghua Gate and went straight to the courtyard of the museum.Pushing away from Qin Keqing's office, she shouted with a smile: "Director Qin, can you tell a fortune teller?! It's really as you guessed..." The last half of the sentence was not spoken.I saw two men sitting in Qin Keqing's office.Three 40 years old, wearing a white and azure western shirt, looking at himself with a smile.Yao Jiazhen blushed unconsciously, lowered her head and said, "I... didn't know you had guests here."

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Don't worry about them. Xu Ci really came to see you to get back together." So she let her sit down first.

Yao Jiazhen saw that the two male guests had already sat on the top chairs on both sides of the large coffee table by the window, so he walked to the other side of the small coffee table and sat down.Qin Keqing's assistant poured a cup of tea for her and sent it over.Yao Jiazhen shook his head and sighed, "He's still in a dream."

"That's not necessarily the case." The younger man in white said, "A dead horse is a living horse doctor. It's a fluke. This is a sign of despair. He is completely unable to control the situation on their side."

The older man smiled and said, "Left and right? He must have realized that he is a pawn."

"Not bad." The young man said, "I can't help myself. I'm trapped in a spider's web and I can't struggle. Amitabha sees it poorly."

Although Yao Jiazhen didn't know who the two of them were, he already guessed that they were the Prince Regent.Sui looked at Qin Keqing as he spoke, but looked at the two of them with his eyes: "Curator, why did you tell him that the regent wants to amend the marriage law? You also specifically asked me to be straightforward and reveal that I am working in the Forbidden City."

Qin Keqing looked at the two male guests with a smile.The young man said: "Let you be straightforward to appear arrogant and fearless, and let them know that we are going to amend the marriage law to force them to fight with their lives. So far they are only fighting for face, only the rhythm The French side can touch their bottom line."

The elder said: "Take the opportunity to change the marriage law first, and then it will be much easier to change the other laws later. Those old guys will definitely understand the key points."

Qin Keqing asked: "Guess how they will respond?"

Young said: "Since they know that we are going to use this divorce lawsuit to make trouble, they can't lose. Transforming ideological issues into practical practical issues is simply flattening solid geometry into plane geometry."

Qin Keqing coughed: "Say something that people can understand!"

The young flattered smiled: "In the beginning, their focus may have been on the three obediences and four virtues, the house rules, and the marriage law. Knowing that we are full of confidence and want to change the way, they will definitely lose if they start from this aspect. Because in the eyes of the public, Xu Ci and the Xu family have no reason. Only by proving that the law is unreasonable can we change. If they want to stop the reform, they have to focus on the case itself to prove that Xu Ci is justified and the law is justified."

Qin Keqing laughed and said, "They are right? Ask ordinary people, Xu Ci, is there any reason?"

The young one also laughed and said, "That's why I said, this is flattening solid geometry..." Qin Keqing coughed again.The young man hurriedly changed his words, "This is to simplify complex issues. In a divorce case, if the wrong party is to be changed from unreasonable to reasonable, we can only pick him out. The concubine gave birth before the main wife. It can be said that she has been married for two years and has no children. , The family’s expectations. Ms. Yao’s food and clothing supply was cut off, and the person in charge was the second girl Xu who was the housekeeper at the time.”

Yao Jiazhen corrected, "It's the third girl."

"Oh, Miss Xu. Even the house arrest can be pushed to Mrs. Xu. Don't worry, Master Xu, who doesn't even know that his family can't afford tea, wants to protect his mother in front of those princes and princes. The only thing Xu Ci can't get rid of is that he wants to divorce his wife for no reason. Ms. Yao didn't make any mistakes, he just got the favor of the nobleman. Ordinary people would not approve of divorce. Actually, I really can’t blame him for this matter. The group of princes and lords must also think that it is you, Ms. Yao, who are wrong."

Yao Jiazhen said indifferently: "They just want to play against the regent."

"That's one of the reasons. But they absolutely sincerely think that you are wrong. Because you are ignorant. As the grandson's daughter-in-law of the Minister's Mansion, you don't even know such a normal unspoken rule, it's just nonsense."

Qin Keqing explained: "Unspoken rules refer to rules that are not expressly stipulated like laws, but established by convention and everyone agrees with."

Young nodded, and continued: "Most families that can gain a foothold in the imperial court will follow the rule of 'a man's official position is above all else'. Because the court battles are too fierce, there are many people staring at any official position. Once you lose, you will lose miserably or even miserably. The whole family is imprisoned and sold. Therefore, in order to maintain the official power of the man, Man said that he would sacrifice a daughter-in-law married from outside, even if he sacrificed his own sisters or even Brothers, uncles and parents are no problem. Please see your best friend Chen Ruiqi for an example. A little farther away is Mr. Zhan Qiao, the current cabinet scholar. His elder brother, the Supreme Emperor Situ Yu, made up for the score, so he had to keep a low profile, pretending to be a "free king" who had no ambitions to fight chickens and horses, and secretly advised his elder brother. Even more ancient, there was the original wife of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Queen Yin. This kind of sacrifice is It's normal and common."

Yao Jiazhen frowned: "Is the victim willing?"

"According to the gentlemen, these people all understand righteousness; as far as I know, none of the non-ancient people are willing, and they have deep resentment." The young man looked at the elder, "Including being mistaken for being very sensible." Your Majesty Zhan Qiao." The older man smiled.

Yao Jiazhen chuckled: "I'll just say it! Didn't the King of Yan turn his back in the end?" She thought for a while, "The unspoken rules are not agreed by everyone."

The young man said: "Those who have the right to speak agree. Those who don't have the right to speak agree or not. Who will talk to them?"

Yao Jiazhen said softly, "It's not fair."

The young nodded: "That's right. It's unfair. The rich and powerful are used to it, but ordinary people find it difficult to accept it. Because the powerful are the strong and the common people are the weak. And you and Chen Ruiqi and other victims of unspoken rules are also weak and can easily get the sympathy of the common people. We reformed To win the support of the people, this is the reason for the public trial of this case, and let scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce come to observe, and use "clear rules" to fight against "hidden rules". If the group of masters behind Xu Ci want to win this lawsuit, they cannot mention their hidden rules. They can only think of a way within the clear and reasonable rules. This is quite difficult. Because they are used to being surrounded by people who understand and abide by the unspoken rules, they don’t know how to persuade the people who don’t understand them. Could have invited some Down-to-earth lawyers help, but unfortunately they can't hire good ones." He winked.

Yao Jiazhen felt hot in his heart: It turned out that these people had done a lot of things at some time.Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Say it straight. What are you doing here today?"

The young man said: "If you remake the fake antique fan you made for Xu Ci, how long will it take?"

"I don't know, I have to ask Nie Chun." She ordered her assistant to call Nie Chun.

Not long after, Nie Chun came over.Yao Jiazhen treated her as a confidant sister for more than a year, and now she was a little embarrassed and bowed her head slightly.Qin Keqing then asked him about his fan.Nie Chundao: "At that time, I made a total of four, and there are three more."

Young surprise: "Never underestimate a technical nerd!"

Nie Chun then went out to get the fan.When I picked it up at once, the two male customers looked at it and praised: "You really did a good job! No wonder you can coax Xu Ci." The elder Nai took a handful and put it in the bag.

Nie Chun asked, "Are these two still useful?"

"It's useless." The young man said, "Mr. Nie, keep it as a souvenir. Ms. Yao can also keep it for fun."

Nie Chunwen nodded, took one and stuffed it into his bosom, then silently took the other and handed it to Yao Jiazhen.Yao Jiazhen held the fan and looked at it for a long time, and praised: "It looks like the real thing." She put it away.Nie Chun hadn't sat down since he entered the door, and now he didn't need to go out to get things, so he sat on the chair opposite the small coffee table.The assistant girl also quietly brought him a cup of tea.

The young male guest raised his eyebrows and glanced at Nie Chun, then stood up.After thinking for a while, he said to Yao Jiazhen, "By the way, do you know why Mrs. Xu picked those two daughter-in-laws to pick on you?"

Yao Jiazhen shook his head: "I don't know. I have been married to the Xu family for more than three years. I claim to be well-behaved and never make mistakes."

"It's because you didn't make any mistakes." The young man said, "Xu Ci is her youngest son, and he is good at studying. Your father's official title is too low, and he is still in the Qingshui Yamen, so he can't help a son-in-law at all. But this marriage was arranged by Xu Hanlin, she There is nothing you can do if you are not satisfied. I wanted to wait for you to get through the door and vent your two mistakes, but you have never given her a chance, and she is panicking. If you did two wrong things early to let her vent her anger, maybe there will be no later thing."

Yao Jiazhen was stunned for a long time, shook his head with a wry smile, and said quietly: "If I knew it earlier, I would show some shortcomings to her. I was wrong."

Nie Chun suddenly said firmly: "You are right."

Qin Keqing then said, "You are right."

"You're right," said her assistant.

The two men also said, "You are right." Yao Jiazhen smiled slightly, her eyes flushed.

Nie Chun said again: "In order that no one will suffer because of not making mistakes in the future, Comrade Jiazhen should try his best to win this lawsuit." Yao Jiazhen nodded vigorously, tears rolling down his cheeks.

Qin Keqing was surprised: "Eh? When did Nie Chun become able to talk?"

Nie Chun was at a loss: "When will I stop talking?"

The two male guests looked at each other and got up to say goodbye.They had already reached the door, Qin Keqing suddenly said: "I'll take you out." Turning around, she pointed to a document on the case and ordered her assistant, "Send it to Qingyun." The assistant agreed, picked up the document and went out with the three of them up.

In the blink of an eye, only Yao Jiazhen and Nie Chun were left in the room.Yao Jiazhen was a little embarrassed and stood up.Nie Chun was really not very good at talking, so he just sat there for a while and took a sip of tea.Yao Jiazhen wanted to go back to his office, but felt that there was something wrong with leaving like this, so he asked casually, "Does Researcher Nie know who these two are?"

Nie Chun knows the answer!Immediately said: "The one in white is the regent Jia Cong, and the one in sky blue is the Grand Master Zhan Kun."

Yao Jiazhen was stunned.She guessed that these two must have official positions in the court, but she didn't expect that it was these two.After a while, he said: "The two of them... are too lacking in official authority."

Nie Chun thought for a while, and said honestly, "Lord Zhan has it, but he doesn't show it much today. The Regent really doesn't have it." After thinking for a while, "Prime Minister Lin and Jia Shangshu of the Household Department have great official authority."

Yao Jiazhen laughed and said, "The two female officials have authority, but the male officials do not."

Nie Chundao: "Lord Jarvis is also very prestigious. He and Prime Minister Lin have fought overseas for several years, and he is either official or murderous."

Yao Jiazhen hesitated whether to sit down or not - she is also an ordinary woman, and she is also very gossip inside, she really wants to know the gossip of these court officials.Unconsciously, he reached out to support the coffee table.Nie Chundao: "Comrade Jiazhen, if you are interested, you might as well sit down and let me do a little science education."

Yao Jiazhen took advantage of the situation and sat down, and said with a smile: "You have met many senior officials?"

Nie Chun said slowly, one sentence at a time: "The Regent once said that the Palace Museum will become China's business card in the future. Our work is not only important, it is the top priority. If you need it, you can go directly to Zhengshitang Go. When it was first established, all the officials of the imperial court came here for business. Prime Minister Lin and Jia Shangshu had a big fight in this office. The regent and Grand Master Zhan hid outside in fright. It happened to be raining heavily, and both of them splashed a lot of water. Only our Curator Qin was brave enough to sit and drink tea."

Yao Jiazhen thought that the scene would be very interesting, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why didn't you go out?"

"What they're arguing about is the work I'm doing." Nie Chun said, "If I go out, they won't be able to quarrel."

Yao Jiazhen was immediately curious: "What are they fighting about?"

"There are so many artifacts in the Forbidden City, should they be placed in their original places or should they be exhibited in the center of the room with a glass counter?" Nie Chun said, "Ms. Lin said..."

Before she finished speaking, Qin Keqing pushed the door open and came in, interrupting: "Can the two comrades go back to your office to exchange work? I still have a lot of things to deal with." The assistant pursed her lips and smiled behind her.

Yao Jiazhen's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm busy there. I'll go back to the office first."

Nie Chun said: "The lunch break is not over yet."

Yao Jiazhen glanced at him: "Don't ask me for a translation of the Lotus Sutra!"

Nie Chun was stunned: "Didn't it be agreed that you will notify me after reading it?"

"Isn't it good for me to finish it earlier and give it to you sooner?"

"I have a lot of things on my hands, so it's okay to do other things first."

Qin Keqing had already returned to her seat, and tapped on the case with two fingers: "Two comrades, please go back to your office to exchange, communicate, work, and work! Thank you for returning the office to me." Yao Jiazhen turned around and left, worse than a rabbit. Hurry up; Nie Chun slowly followed behind.

The two of them had just left, and the assistant couldn't help laughing and said, "Is this a race between the tortoise and the hare?" Qin Keqing laughed loudly.The assistant looked at their curator and said in a low voice, "Curator, do you think Researcher Nie is up to something?"

"How do I know." Qin Keqing flipped through the photo clips and said, "Young people have their own lives." She suddenly stopped thinking for a long time, and said, "Jiazhen looks outstanding, and he is comprehensive and thoughtful in dealing with people. He is meticulous and responsible in his work. Our museum Several of them are interested in her. Nie Chun has a cruel advantage—his mother has been dead for many years." The assistant was taken aback.Qin Keqing sighed softly, "I'm afraid Yao Jiazhen will have a psychological shadow on her status as a mother-in-law." Jia Lan hasn't convinced his mother until now, so it's absolutely hopeless.
