[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Zhuzhu is relatively quiet and introverted. Compared with Pipi, Jia Shu takes more care of her emotions when talking to her.This time too, Jia Shu chose to settle Zhuzhu's heart first: "It's not surprising, if it wasn't because the court law didn't allow women not to marry, it was unknown whether your father and I would have been together in the first place."

In other words, the possibility of not being together is almost 100%.

But fate is inherently magical, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled from modern times to the book world of Red Mansions.

Zhuzhu's expression relaxed as expected: "I, I don't know..."

Looking at the confused expression on Zhuzhu's face, Jia Shu felt a little distressed: "Don't think about other things, you just need to ask yourself, do you yearn for living alone more, or marry and have children like us?"

She thought of the letter sent by the eldest princess from the capital, and she began to think about the possibility of persuading the eldest princess to use the power at her fingertips in exchange for the abolition of a law.

Zhuzhu frowned, and said after a long while: "Daughter is still... well... As long as the daughter thinks that she will never get married for the rest of her life, she can devote all her time to making and researching utensils as she is now, without worrying about trivial matters. There is nothing else. I feel very relaxed and happy when someone disturbs my daughter."

Jia Shu withdrew his thoughts and listened carefully to Zhuzhu's words.

"However, when my daughter thinks about the daily relationship between mother and father, she feels..." Zhuzhu's cheeks were stained with a thin blush, which made her look a little more charming, "If I can find someone who can understand my daughter, Even people who share the same interests as my daughter are nice."

It's just that she knows that this possibility is too small.

Moreover, the court law stipulates that if a woman reaches the age of 15 and has not engaged, she will be fined; if she reaches the age of [-] and has not engaged, the official media will come to "sell" and force the engagement. Where is the list?

But in a few years, finding a husband who is full of dissatisfaction is simply as difficult as climbing the sky.

What's more, the grandmother's age is also there...

No matter what Zhuzhu thinks, she feels that being single is worse than being married, but the court doesn't allow it, so naturally she can only hire a spouse.

Jia Shu looked at Zhuzhu seriously: "I see."

Zhuzhu was at a loss: "What do you know?"

Jia Shu smiled and shook his head, took Zhuzhu's hand and walked towards her yard without explaining.

Zhuzhu's heart was drawn back and forth by Jia Shu's words, but she also knew that she would never know what her mother didn't want to say, so she could only press her mind and go back to her yard.

The Jiangnan side is calm and calm, but the capital is full of turmoil.

It has been nearly a year since the new emperor came to the throne, and because the Supreme Emperor was concerned about the country and the country and did not interfere in the government affairs, the new emperor's throne has been firmly established. Even if there are still people who are unwilling, there will be no more troubles.

So on this day, the eldest princess, who had been staying behind closed doors since the new emperor ascended the throne, finally handed over a request to the palace for a face-to-face request.

-

"Your Highness, do you really want to exchange the opportunity you have earned so hard for a condition that does not benefit you much?"

The eldest princess's close maid looked puzzled, "His Royal Highness has contributed a lot to the succession, and the new emperor is a trustworthy and magnanimous person. I believe that even if you propose to participate in the government, the emperor will not mind. Why do you have to... "

The eldest princess sat on the carriage, looking at the pedestrians from the opened curtain, with a relaxed expression: "How old is this palace? Even if you have great power, how long can you enjoy it?"

What's more, as the new emperor's sister, she is also a great hero of her enthronement, even if she doesn't change power, how can the emperor treat her badly?

She is alone, and she doesn't have to plan for her children's future like other people, and the future is easy to see with the naked eye. The emperor owes her favors, so naturally she can come as she pleases.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Eldest Princess has arrived."

Emperor Chengtian put down the memorial in hand, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows: "My sister has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and today she is finally willing to come to see me, and I don't know what to ask to bother me."

Emperor Chengtian still had self-knowledge, knowing that his elder sister didn't have much affection for him, and that the other party came to the palace instead of seeing the Supreme Emperor, she must have wanted to fulfill the promise she had made to her before she ascended the throne.

"Let her in!"

As soon as the words fell, a showy foot stepped into the imperial study room: "How is your majesty these days?"

Emperor Chengtian smiled and got up, and stepped over the desk to greet him: "What's the matter? It's not like that. But Miss Huang, why did it take so long to remember to see me?"

The Eldest Princess didn't talk much, and when she walked up to Emperor Chengtian, she was about to kneel down and salute, but she was directly caught by him: "What's the matter, Miss Huang?"

The eldest princess insisted: "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abandoned."

Emperor Chengtian paused, took a step back, and accepted the princess's royal gift firmly.

The eldest princess who lowered her head showed a look of "it really is so" in her eyes, and quickly lowered her gaze. When she heard the word "flat body", she stood up calmly.

"Sister Huang enters the palace today, but what's the important thing?" Seeing that the eldest princess didn't want to have an "old relationship" with him, Emperor Chengtian simply asked the eldest princess why she came straight to the point.

The eldest princess didn't waste any time, and said directly: "I wonder if the emperor still remembers the previous promise?"

"nature."

"My conditions remain unchanged. I hope that the emperor will allow women to enter school and be an official, etc., to be written into the law."

Emperor Chengtian's eyes flashed: "Are you sure?"

"Sure." The eldest princess raised her head and looked at him firmly, "Of course, I know it's difficult, and even if the law is enforced, it won't have much effect. So I want to add one more thing, allowing the girl to come The marriageable age chooses not to marry."

Emperor Chengtian's expression turned cold: "It's against the ancestral etiquette to let a woman go to school or become an official, but since it's the condition I promised before, I will naturally fulfill my promise. But the woman is not allowed to marry..."

"Sister Huang, are you joking with me?"

The eldest princess insisted: "If my dynasty's law code had this law, how could the minister's wife be treated badly?"

"Miss Huang is just an example!"

"Your Majesty, among your dozen or so sisters, how many of you have a happy life after marriage besides my wife? My wife remembers that the old Twelve was only married last year, but you can tell Twelve to the palace and ask her about her marriage. How are you doing!"

"If I and the nobles like Tianhuang can't get married, what about the other women?"

"Your majesty, my wife insists!"

Emperor Chengtian's eyes were flickering, as if caught in a dilemma, but in the end, he still shook his head at the eldest princess: "Even if the eldest sister was unkind in the past, how can she live a smooth and free life differently now? Even..."

He looked serious, "Why don't you become the No. 1 female official and enter the imperial court as a woman to serve the court? Presumably with the example of the imperial sister, the promulgation and implementation of laws such as women's admission to school and official positions will be more effective." If it goes well, it will also attract more talented and aspiring women to give up their shackles to serve the imperial court."

It has to be said that upon hearing Emperor Chengtian's words, the Eldest Princess couldn't help... her heart was moved.

Think about it, she only needs to nod her head lightly at this moment, and she can become the No. Leave a name.

Isn't it money, power and fame that people in the world are seeking?

But now, all of this is at your fingertips!

But the eldest princess hesitated for a long time, and still rejected this tempting proposal: "Your Majesty, although my wife is very tempted by this proposal, my wife refuses."

Emperor Chengtian almost wanted to curse: "I really don't know that Miss Huang is so stubborn?"

The Eldest Princess didn't say anything, she knelt down in front of Emperor Chengtian with a "plop", and said, "Your Majesty, in life, you always have to do something to make people remember you. I used to be a princess, enjoy I have taken on all the responsibilities of this identity, so I got married. But I think that in the future, there will always be some women like me who have no expectations for marriage, or don’t want to marry early, and waste time. In my life, as a woman, with this ability, I have to help them find a way..."

The eldest princess clenched her fists, as if thinking of all the things before and after she got married, she tightly closed her eyes, "Even though this road is full of bumps and thorns, at least they can choose."

Emperor Chengtian looked at the eldest princess's drooping head, and chuckled lightly: "But Miss Huang, have you thought about whether they need it? If they had never had a choice, they would be able to complain about the injustice of God when they encounter misfortune, and be able to fight hard." Live, but if you have a choice..."

"That's their own business." The eldest princess said coldly, "The minister's wife is not their mother, but she has no responsibility to sacrifice herself to make them live better."

Emperor Chengtian saw that it didn't make sense to start with reason, so he had to change his way: "Sister Huang, if you touch your lips, do you know how much hidden danger it will bring to the court? , still need to recruit soldiers and horses, food, grass and horses are okay, the weather has been good these two years, and the court can always find a way to raise money. But those frontier soldiers who fought for the country and could not return to their homes were bachelors all their lives? Moreover, the war was ruthless. How many soldiers fought for the country every year? If the country is sacrificed and the population is decreasing year by year, if women are allowed to remain unmarried, do you know what kind of catastrophe the court will encounter?"

The eldest princess said lightly: "Isn't there still so many widows? You just need to agree to the remarriage of the widows, and order that the widows are not forced to observe the festival, and the widows are not allowed to die, otherwise the whole family will sit together..."

"The many widows who have lost their husbands, I believe most of them are willing to remarry." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess, thinking of the "infidelity" of those hypocrites in the court when they first reconciled, it really made people laugh. "Are you afraid that no one will be born?"

"Sister Huang, don't talk nonsense, if it's as you said, all civil and military officials will have a falling out!" Emperor Chengtian was stunned, he didn't expect that the eldest princess would dig a hole here and wait for him.

"Your Majesty, my wife is not talking nonsense."

The eldest princess glanced at Emperor Chengtian and sighed, "Since you can agree with your wife to allow girls to go to school and become officials, why can't you agree to let the widow remarry? Your majesty, don't forget that after the first reconciliation of the minister's wife, she didn't Marry someone else in one year. I believe that there is a precedent for ministers' wives, and the opposition of civil and military officials must be less than that of allowing women to enter school and become officials."

Emperor Chengtian was about to be laughed angrily by this imperial sister: "You are really..."

He was so angry that he turned his back and didn't speak for a long time.
