Chapter five hundred and twentieth the emperor, have dinner
What happened next can be summarized in two sentences.
"you listen to me!"
"I won't listen, I won't listen!"
Ru Qinglian hid her face and came out. Wu Qinglian hesitated for a moment and followed the doctor, leaving Jia Liu stunned for a moment.
To be honest, he had really forgotten about the girl Wang Danwang, the chief minister of Gansu Province, gave him.
If the memory of the past life is correct, this Wu Qinglian is actually He Shen's second wife and the financial manager of the He family. He is very good at managing money.
After He Shen's death, Wu Qinglian died for his love, and everyone at the time called her a martyr.
She can be regarded as one of the most extraordinary women in Chinese history.
How did she find her own home?
Daquan knew what his son was thinking and whispered: "This girl came to our door a while ago. Fortunately, your wife is sensible and kept her after asking."
After a pause, he glared at his son unhappily: "Don't blame me, Dad. We, the Jia family, sit upright and spit every nail. How can we put up our trousers and not recognize someone? Spread the word, you
Why will dad have the nerve to go to the alley in the future? What does your Aunt Zhao think of dad?"
Jia Liu was shocked when he heard this, so he quickly interrupted Daquan and told him to go find Aunt Zhao to make a living and stop nagging here.
Daquan was not happy, and his face became serious on the spot: "Hey, now that you have become a high official, your father is not willing to listen to what he has to say! I think you really have strong wings..."
His expression suddenly softened, it had already happened, and it was his own son, what was there to say.
Received the other banknotes handed over by his son.
"You can handle this matter yourself. As a woman, just coax her..."
I wanted to ask where his eldest grandson was, but the eldest daughter-in-law was so angry. No matter how ignorant he was as a father-in-law, he wouldn't be able to pester his son to ask for a grandson at this juncture.
If the eldest daughter-in-law found out, it would be strange not to hate her father-in-law.
"Everything goes well with the family. Your wife is a good wife, but don't abuse her. If your brother-in-law comes to visit you later, things will not end well."
After a few more worried words, Daquan happily put on his mink coat, put his hands into his sleeves, and went to relax while humming a tune.
Jia Liu sat on the kang depressedly, thinking about how to solve the problem satisfactorily.
It is natural for men to take concubines these days.
The question is whether a concubine can take a concubine?
It seems that there are no hard and fast rules in Qing law.
However, before the princess gets married, in order to ensure that the princess marries a husband with good health and good character, the palace will usually send a "trial marriage checker" to inspect the goods in advance.
"Trial Marriage Princess" enters the husband-in-law's house first before the princess, and checks the husband-in-law's condition for the princess. If the test is passed, the princess will enter the husband-in-law's house.
After obtaining the princess's approval, the trial marriage princess can marry into the palace as a maid and be responsible for sharing the princess's wife's obligations.
During those few days when the princess was inconvenient, Trial Marriage Gege helped the prince-in-law to vent the pressure.
If the prince-in-law is energetic and can coax, and the princess is particularly open-minded, it is not impossible for two or three girls to serve one husband together.
In essence, this trial marriage princess is a concubine.
The problem is that when Ruxiu got married, Prince Xin's Palace did not send a trial marriage candidate to Jia's family, but Jia Liu went over and asked Prince Xin's Palace to give him a "prime minister".
This may be related to the fact that Ruxiu is a princess rather than a princess.
Of course, it may also be that my brother-in-law, Chunying, and his wife are younger than Jia Liu, so they don't understand many things and don't care about the arrangements.
It may also be Ruxiu’s own intention.
As a woman, who would want her husband’s things to be used by another woman?
There were a few dowry girls, and they were all pretty good, but Jia Liu had never touched any of them. At that time, he and Ruxiu also said that when the girls were older, they would be betrothed to his subordinates, and everyone would be happy.
Therefore, the issue of concubinage by a prince-in-law is a free mind.
It’s okay to say it’s okay, but it’s okay to say it’s not okay.
In my impression, Heshen's son Fengshen Yinde married the youngest daughter of the Fourth Japs, Princess Gu Lun and Princess Xiao. The couple originally had a son after their marriage, but the son unfortunately died young. Princess Hexiao was so sad that she lost her fertility. For the sake of He and his family,
In order to prevent the death of the queen, the princess took the initiative to persuade Fengshen Yin De to take a concubine.
Therefore, Fengshen Yinde took in several concubines one after another.
When Kangxi's aunt Princess Jianning married Wu Yingxiong, Wu actually already had a wife and two sons, so whether Princess Jianning was a wife or a concubine was a matter of free will.
But no matter how freely he proved it, the princes-in-law of the Qing Dynasty would not dare to openly take concubines, not to mention that Jia Liu had given birth to the eldest son of the Jia family with another woman without telling Ruxiu.
The problem is very serious.
Of course, this seriousness is also evidence of freedom of mind.
It is impossible for Jia Liu to be really afraid of Ruxiu's quarrel. With his current status and strength, he would not dare to proclaim himself emperor. However, if he went to the clan's residence to report his sudden death, his brother-in-law Chunying would probably not even dare to show off to his brother-in-law.
The problem is that a couple's love lasts for a night. Although Ruxiu is a Manchurian girl, she has true love for him, Jia Liu, and is not sorry at all. She also gave birth to his eldest daughter. How dark must his Jia Liu be before he wants to be right?
Ruxiu starts.
The only solution to this matter is to coax as Daquan said.
Rubbing his forehead, Jia Liu was ready to confess to Ruxiu and seek leniency.
Shuan Zhu stuck his head in and whispered: "Master!"
"Where did you die?"
Jia Liu's nose twitched. Shuan Zhu had diarrhea at critical moments. When he saw Ruxiu later, he said she was the woman Shuan Zhu introduced to him.
"Master, I went over to help you find a solution."
Unexpectedly, Ren Shuanzhu did not hide, but went to help the young master relieve his worries.
A thick book of "Laws of the Qing Dynasty" was placed in front of Jia Liu.
"What's the meaning?"
Monk Jia Liuzhanger was confused. This matter was at best a matter of the emperor's life style. How could it be raised to the level of national laws?
Shuan Zhu looked worried: "Young Master, I have read it. According to the seven regulations of the law, I am afraid that the young master will not be able to divorce the young concubine... Moreover, the Qing Dynasty Law said that if you marry a person who is low-income and then becomes rich, you will not marry her."
"What's the meaning?"
"That is to say, the young master did not get rich before marrying a wife, which means that the young mistress is prosperous. In this case, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the young master cannot divorce the young mistress."
"besides,"
Shuan Zhu turned to a certain page and pointed to one of the articles, "The Law of the Qing Dynasty says that any man who is forty and has no heirs must take a concubine. If the wife does not agree, he can divorce her. I did some research and found that the young master does not meet this article.
...There is only one way now, which is to reconcile."
Jia Liu called Shuan Zhu and was stunned for a while. It took him a long time to realize: Good guy, Zhu Sang is trying to persuade him to divorce!
Resisting the urge to strangle Zhuan Zhu with a hanging, he stared at Zhuan Zhu quietly: "Didn't you persuade me to join Prince Xin's Mansion?"
"There is no contradiction, no conflict. If you don't leave, young master, how can you marry into the young lady's house?"
Shuan Zhu pointed out a procedural issue. The young lady married into the Jia family, so if the young master wanted to marry into the young lady's family, he had to divorce first and then remarry.
In this way, it complies with the procedures for marrying into the family.
Before he could say anything, the young master started to touch the small gun from his waist, which frightened Shuan Zhu and ran away.
"You son of a bitch, if you have such energy, why don't I, your young master, just accept the fourth devil as my grandma?"
Jia Liu is so angry.
"Master, you are the same generation as the fourth devil, how can you accept him as your Ama? It is against ethics."
Shuan Zhu can run very fast.
"piapia!"
Jia Liu was so angry that he pointed his gun at his back twice, and after confirming that the hit was 100%, he blew the muzzle of the gun, straightened his hat, smoothed his clothes, and went to confess to Ruxiu.
When he arrived at his small courtyard, he ignored the maids with gossipy eyes and pushed the door straight in.
Ruxiu sat by the kang and was sulking. She didn't see Wu Qinglian or her daughter.
After thinking for a while, Jia Liu began to untie his belt.
Ruxiu, who was also hoping that her husband could explain and apologize to her, was shocked by Jia Liu's action, and she lost her voice: "What are you doing?"
Jia Liu didn't say anything at all, he just untied his shirt and threw it on the kang. He sat on the kang and continued to take off his pants. He dragged the dumbfounded Ruxiu directly into the bed and took off all her clothes regardless of Ruxiu's struggle.
, and then his mouth came up.
"Let me go, no, I won't give it... You haven't explained it to me yet... Uh-huh..."
Ruxiu reacted violently, first pinching, biting and beating, then tears streaming down her face, and finally her cheeks turned red. Not only did her voice get smaller and smaller, but her resistance became weaker and weaker.
Jia Liu used eighteen means to serve him.
He believes that no matter how serious the conflict between husband and wife is, it can be resolved in a sleep.
If not, just go to sleep again.
Take it until you sleep.
It turns out this theory is right.
Because Ruxiu was holding her husband in the end, saying that she could have a son, or that she was not as good as the little vixen outside.
Jia's courtyard creates people in harmony.
In the strict Forbidden Palace, Qianlong was in a daze looking at a portrait.
The painting was painted by his own hands.
The person in the painting is an old man with a kind face.
This old man was painted by Qianlong based on his impressions from more than forty years ago. Although more than forty years have passed, the appearance of the man in the painting is still somewhat similar to that of the old man who resigned and returned to his hometown.
Qianlong just stared at the old man in the painting like an old monk in trance. The whistling wind outside did not affect him at all.
"dad!"
Qianlong's eyes were filled with tears, and his mouth moved slightly, as if there was a sound, but also as if there was no sound.
The wind became stronger and stronger, and the sound of raindrops could be heard from the red walls and green tiles.
The cold icy rain beat randomly in the Forbidden City, making the temperature of Yongshou Palace become colder and colder.
After a long time, Qianlong moved.
But he tremblingly picked up the oil lamp and lit the portrait of the old man that took him two days to draw.
As the flames ignited, the old man's voice and appearance were engulfed bit by bit by the flames.
A hint of warmth swept through Qianlong's heart, but this warmth was fleeting, like a meteor streaking across the sky, extremely short-lived.
Finally, the flames burned to the end, and the moment the last bit of the portrait was completely engulfed by the flames, Qianlong's heart felt as if he had been stabbed hard by a sharp knife.
Dust falls to the ground.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."
The voice of the guard came from outside the palace, and the iron chain on the palace door was opened. Then a little eunuch aged eleven or twelve came in. After putting the food in his hand on the ground, the little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head.
He withdrew, fearing that the emperor would stop him.
Last time, Brother Qi was beaten to death by the guards just because he had a conversation with the emperor while delivering food.
The little eunuch doesn't want to become a meal for wild dogs outside the city.
Qianlong was stunned. After the palace door was closed again, he walked over gently, brought the food on the floor to the table, picked up the chopsticks and started eating it.
After taking a few mouthfuls, Qianlong's mind suddenly started to stir, and he reached out and took out something from his mouth.
By the light of the palace lamp outside the palace, he confirmed that it was a piece of meat.
Fatty meat.
Very delicious fatty meat.
Today, extra food?
Qianlong was startled, then quickly stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he would endure no matter how great the suffering!
There must be justice in this world.
He firmly believes that evil cannot prevail against good!
