History of Struggle of Salted Fish

It has been more than two years since Mrs. Yang married into the Yu Mansion. In the eyes of others, it is lucky for her, a 19-year-old and unfavored concubine, to marry the current Minister of Rites, Mr. Yu, to fill the house. Not to mention that Yu's family's ancestral land is far away in Jizhou, she has no in-laws to serve, and no sisters-in-law to run against, so it is said that she should live a comfortable and happy life these days.

But Yang's troubles can't be told to outsiders.

After two and a half years of marriage, Master Yu has been staying in her room for a long time, but there has been no movement in this belly. On the contrary, Aunt Liu, who is usually low-browed and pleasing to the eye, was just diagnosed with a happy pulse yesterday.

Master Yu is already in his thirties, and he is approaching his age. Now that my concubine is pregnant, he can't help but be overjoyed.Yang's heart is depressed and she still has to act like a generous and virtuous mistress, which is really painful.

Master Yu had only been happy for two days, but he encountered a difficult matter in the court, and he couldn't enjoy it even if he wanted to.

Nine months have passed since the crown prince was assassinated in the first lunar month. According to the imperial doctor, the wound was three inches long and penetrated deep into the spleen and stomach. In the past, His Royal Highness the crown prince was recuperating in the East Palace. He has not been in court for nine months.

Yu Wenchuan was only admitted to the sixth department because he was promoted by the crown prince, so he was naturally worried about the safety of the crown prince.It is true that this worry was not serious enough to stop him from eating and drinking.But what happened afterwards made him anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Master Yu has known since he was an official that no matter what dynasty or generation he is in, when he does business for the royal family, he always has his head pinned to his waistband.

This year, there is a severe drought in the world. The national teacher watched the sky at night, and found out that the dragon's pulse in Shengjing, the land where the dragon prospered, was moving abnormally, which caused disasters from the sky to the Central Plains.To eliminate the chaos, the blood of the Tian family needs to visit the land of the dragon veins to sacrifice to the sky for seven days.

The greatest advantage of Emperor Yong'an in his life was to listen to people's advice, so he immediately decided to let his son go to Shengjing on his behalf.

Now that the crown prince has been ill for a long time, the longevity king born by Concubine Wan Shu is unavoidably ready to move. He volunteered to go to Shengjing to worship the heaven on behalf of the emperor.

It is normal for the prince to recover from his illness, and it is normal for Shou Wang to take this trip as the second son of the emperor, but as the saying goes, when the king of hell fights, the kid suffers.The party members of King Shou in the court suggested that since it was the emperor's sacrifice to heaven, it should be solemn to use the emperor's car to show his solemnity. Overrun.The two sides were at loggerheads, so the emperor Lao Tzu said that offering sacrifices bears the weight of heaven and earth, and is a great gift of the country, so let the people from the Ministry of Rites talk about it.

The Minister of Rites got a famous Dawan horse last month. He accidentally broke his leg while training the horse, and now he is still recovering from his injuries at home. After receiving the imperial edict, he recommended his servant Yu Wenchuan to play in court.

Yu Wenchuan thought, this is to put me on the fire.

On the surface, the court is talking about driving, but in fact it is about Guozuo. If the carriage can sit this time, will the dragon chair be able to sit in the future?Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting and watching.

According to Master Yu's background, it is right to stand up for the crown prince, but the crown prince has not come out after several months of recovery, and Emperor Yong'an's attitude is ambiguous, which is really unpredictable.

Until the next day when he went to court, Yu Wenchuan didn't have a plan in mind.

When the matter came to an end, Mr. Yu supported the Yushi's words according to his heart, and fought with all the heroes on the spot, but he thought in his heart: Regardless of winning or losing, at least he can be an unbiased minister.

Therefore, King Shou used the prince's ceremonial car this time to offer sacrifices to heaven.Afterwards, Concubine Wan Shu, who had been a favorite for many years, often nagged in the ears of the old emperor.The old emperor thought to himself, fortunately he didn't express his position at the time, otherwise he would have been even more angry.

Yu Wenchuan knew that this was the end of the matter, and he had settled the matter of King Shou, so he could only follow the prince's footsteps and go all the way to the end.

The lords and wives of the Yu Mansion have their own concerns, and the servants are used to watching their words and expressions, so they naturally behave with their tails tucked in, for fear that if they accidentally eat a melon drop, the whole house will become lifeless.

As the second miss of the Yu family, Xiang Wan has been even more troubled recently.

Last month, Xiang Wan's genitalia came, and because it was menarche, it tortured her for a few days.

Mrs. Xie asked Li's family to boil ginger silk and red date tea every day, and warmed it with mother soup, but she was still rolling in pain.

It was almost the end of this month, and Xiang Wan felt miserable. In her previous life, she didn't have such dysmenorrhea.

Of course, this little ailment was nothing. What really upset her was that as she got older, her marriage was also put on the agenda.

Xiang Wan is 13 years old this year. According to the calculation of the current dynasty, she will be 14 after the new year. She is considered a big girl. At this time, she has not started talking about marriage. Although it is not too late, it is definitely not too early.In the past two years, Xiang Wan and Mrs. Xie have almost become invisible people in the back house in line with the established policy of "do not provoke, do not seek trouble".Mrs. Yang looked at Xiang Wan as a sensible person, and Mrs. Xie was also a sensible person.Yang's family was born in the Hou's Mansion. Although she is a concubine, her social circle is not too far behind.Xiang Wan occasionally went out to dinner with Yang Shi, but he didn't look at each other seriously.

Of course, Yang was worried about his heirs, so he couldn't say that he cared much about this stepdaughter's marriage.

When Mr. Yu took a rest in the first ten days, it was just in time for Xiangwan's 13th birthday, and then he realized that his quiet second daughter was already so old, and it was time to find a marriage, so he told Mrs. Yang to pay attention. the right family.

Since the year her sister Xiang Qing got married, Xiang Wan has a full understanding of the marriage in this dynasty.

At the very beginning, she unconsciously thought that since she had money and land (the property left by her aunt), she could be completely self-sufficient, and she didn't need to find an ancient straight man to ruin her free life, and she didn't need to marry at all.

Later, through the popularization of science by a few maids in the house, Xiang Wan learned that it is not uncommon for women to never marry for life, but there are only a few extremely special circumstances in which legal status can be obtained: 1. The woman's family has become extinct, and the woman has been registered by the government After setting up a female household, you can choose to marry a surrogate son-in-law or directly adopt a child as an heir; 2. The woman becomes a nun and becomes a foreigner; 3. The woman has a long-term fatal infectious disease.And this legal identity is basically synonymous with personal freedom, property freedom, and human rights freedom.The imperial court still has certain preferential treatment for this kind of people, either in terms of taxes or some subsidies.

In addition to the above three situations, an unmarried woman can only accept one arrangement, that is, to live with the family, but without an independent household registration, that is, without independent financial rights and human rights. She can neither go out alone nor participate in the family's external affairs.Of course, except for women who are ready to marry, as long as they have a marriage certificate, women can independently handle their own dowry, but it is limited to dowry, and women from wealthy families must abide by strict access control and cannot go out alone.

In view of the above, Xiang Wan compared his own situation. Mr. Yu is in his prime, and Brother Rui is also thriving. Extinct?She died, and the Yu Mansion is probably still there; becoming a monk?She would scratch her heart and lungs every time she didn't eat meat; even worse, the government would designate more than three doctors for consultations with severe diseases, and it was still irregular.This can be pretended for a while, but it can't be pretended for a lifetime.

Since it is an option of either A or B, the only way left is to marry.

The knowledge of this marriage is even greater.

A man and a woman who are over fifteen years old and have no relatives and filial piety within five clothes can marry.However, intermarriage is not allowed between good and low status. Of course, intermarriage refers to married couples, and does not include concubines, and concubines are not allowed to be upright.

Marriage is decided by the immediate elders of both men and women, usually parents or grandparents, followed by uncles and uncles.The male and female parties do not have the right to decide on marriage. If there is an unmarried adultery, it will be treated as a concubine, which has no legal effect. If there are children, it will be recognized as a concubine or a concubine, or it will not be recognized directly, and the man will Family decision.

Among the six rites of marriage, Xiaoding is the watershed. Even if the marriage certificate is issued at Xiaoding, it must be filed with the government.That is to say, before the final decision, both parties still have a chance to go back on their word. Of course, ordinary people would not go back and forth like this, otherwise it would not be a marriage, but an enmity, so Xiang Qing was worried at the beginning of her mother's death.

Wedding customs vary from place to place, but they are all the same. Like Xiangqing and Xiangwan, parents or grandparents have official positions in the imperial court, so they have to organize weddings according to the corresponding level, including how much drum music they can invite and how much dowry they can carry. There are expressly stipulated.The Fan family followed the upper limit back then, and there were 36 dowries on the surface, and 64 when they arrived at the Duke's Mansion.

After getting married, the man will add the woman's name to his family tree, and then get the government record, and the woman's household registration will naturally be transferred to the man's family. From this time on, the woman can not only independently handle her own dowry property, but Can participate in the man's family affairs.What is commendable is that the woman's dowry is owned by herself from the beginning to the end, rather than being included in the man's name.In case of a woman's death, the dowry will be left to the descendant's children, or returned to the woman's natal family.This is also the reason why the Fan family recorded Xiang Wan in his own name. A concubine's daughter cannot inherit her aunt's property.

There are two special cases of marriage, that is, reconciliation and divorce.

Heli means that the relationship between a man and a woman breaks down. After reaching an agreement, the woman leaves the man's home with her dowry. With the proof of Heli, she can set up a separate household, or she can choose to settle down and return to her mother's home.After reconciliation, women can remain celibate (but the imperial court does not encourage it in order to promote population development and social stability), or they can choose to remarry, and remarriage is up to them, even their natal family cannot interfere.

If the woman commits the seven crimes or violates the law, the man has the right to divorce the wife, which means divorce.After divorcing a wife, a woman's way of retreat is the same as divorce, but the difference lies in whether she can get her dowry back.These seven issues include childlessness, adultery, negligence, tongue-in-cheek, theft, jealousy, and sickness.

After studying the above marriage rules, Xiang Wan was quite irritated, especially about divorce and divorce.

Feelings bring a generous dowry to the man's house. Not only must they have children without complaint and be filial to their parents-in-law, but if they are unhappy and divorce themselves, they may be expelled from the house.

This can't be done, absolutely can't be done.

It's impossible not to marry, and there is a great risk in marrying, Xiang Wan felt melancholy.
