The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Even leaving aside the matter of getting married, Jia Min has to say that Situ Zhuo is excellent in all aspects, but that's not the point.After Daiyu encountered a crisis last time, Lin Ruhai and his wife had lingering fears. They discussed privately that Daiyu's marriage was not urgent.

Now Emperor Taizong is afraid of Daiyu's ability, but in a few years, if the prince ascends the throne, maybe these things will not be there. It will not be too late to show Daiyu to her, and it is fine to say that Daiyu is not suitable for early marriage.Or after a few years, even if Emperor Taizong is in power, he will not always remember a courtier, so it would be great to tell Daiyu a good relationship.

Less than a year has passed since Daiyu's face-sacred incident, and Jia Min still clearly remembers Daiyu coming out of the palace with tea stains on her skirt, and marrying the Eastern Palace directly at this time.

Jia Min hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Madam, my wife dares..." After thinking about it for a while, this is a big matter, and it is neither easy to speak, nor dare to ask casually.

Lin Qing was understanding and said with a smile: "What are you bold or not? If you have anything to say, you can just say it." While speaking, he glanced at the direction of Emperor Taizong's bedroom.

Jia Min knew that this was what Emperor Taizong meant, and said: "Thank you for your love, I don't think we Yu'er is stupid, but Yu'er is only thirteen years old, and the marriage is a big deal, I need to discuss it with our master before replying to my mother. "

Lin Qingdao: "This is what should be done. You can talk to Ruhai about it. You don't have to worry about me. Marriage is good for two surnames, and both parties must be satisfied."

That is to say, and even if it is Fengzilongsun Zefei, it is indeed discussed by both parties, but Jia Min also knows that the matter of Daiyu this time is an exception.

In fact, Situ Zhuo should have chosen a concubine two or three years earlier. Lin Qing had mentioned this matter to the crown prince, but Situ Zhuo resisted it very much, so it was delayed.Now if Emperor Taizong raised this matter directly, no matter whether it was Situ Zhuo or the Lin family, there seemed to be no room for objection.

And now that the emperor's condition has just improved, and the prince and the county king are still sick, if this matter is mentioned suddenly, is it to please Emperor Taizong?

After Jia Min returned home, he told Lin Ruhai about it.During the discussion this time, Yinglian and Lin You were not allowed to sit in. Only Lin Ruhai, his wife and Daiyu sat down in the study, and Jia Min told what he said in the East Palace today.I saw Daiyu's expression on the side was normal, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

In fact, Lin Ruhai and his wife have always been a little strange. When it comes to talking about marriage, every lady is a bit shy. Only Daiyu has been calm about these things since the novel.

Daiyu said: "Parents don't have to worry about it, just agree."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning and said: "Yu'er, this is a lifelong event, have you really thought about it? Although the young prince has nothing to say about his appearance and character, he doesn't think he is a good match for his father."

As for why it is not a good match, Lin Ruhai is really hard to say.In fact, Lin Qing was concerned about Situ Zhuo's marriage a year or two ago, and also met several rich and noble ladies, all of whom were worthy of being princesses, but Situ Zhuo himself refused to get married.

Lin Qing couldn't, after discussing with the prince, the prince said to ask his father what he meant.As a result, Situ Zhuo himself went to Taizong and said that he didn't want to marry early, and when he wanted to marry a wife in the future, he went to tell the emperor's grandfather in person.

The emperor's grandson insisted on refusing to get married, and he was not too old, so the matter was put on hold for now.Since Situ Zhuo refused to get married, it would be fine to put two concubines or side concubines in the house first, otherwise Lin Qing was afraid that someone would instigate that she, as a mother and concubine, didn't care about her son's affairs.

Lin Qing also mentioned this to Situ Zhuo, but Situ Zhuo still refused, saying that if the mother concubine insisted on accepting a side concubine for him, she would go to join the army. In this way, Situ Zhuo was eighteen and still alone.In short, he seemed out of place for aristocratic men of this age.

Later, it was rumored that Situ Zhuo was a waiter of Shenying, and the marriage was delayed even more.Not to mention that Situ Zhuo was not close to women, but he was also very kind to his companion Liu Xianglian. Liu Xianglian got married, and her grandson and grandson came to welcome her.Therefore, I don't know which good-for-nothing person spread the words of Situ Zhuo's manliness, and spread it in a decent way.

It is said that when Liu Xianglian came to Beijing, he was only a son of a fifth-rank guard. How could he fit into the Imperial College as a companion student? Situ Zhuo himself went to the emperor to make a statement about this matter, and the emperor authorized it.For so many years, the closest person around Situ Zhuo has been Liu Xianglian. Look at Liu Xianglian's appearance again, tsk tsk.

After all, it was related to Su Lan's husband. In fact, Daiyu also vaguely knew about these rumors, but Daiyu didn't take it to heart.Firstly, from ancient times to the present, many people have been curious, and the more rumors are spread, the more people will believe them; secondly, as a time traveler, it is normal for Situ Zhuo not to want to get married before he is a teenager, right?

Not to mention Situ Zhuo, as an ancient man himself, he has only traveled to later generations for a few years, and has also accepted many ideas of later generations, so he doesn't want to get married early.So Situ Zhuo may not be a good man, he just doesn't change his attitude.

But after hearing her father's worry, Daiyu didn't insist, she just said indifferently: "For one thing, the emperor is ill, so my aunt will definitely not make up her own mind to mention the young prince's marriage at this time. Meaning, it may not be difficult to get over it; secondly, the young prince doesn’t have groups of concubines around him, so if he really has to marry, it’s easy to take care of the palace.”

But Daiyu still added: "If you think about it, the little prince will come to our house in a few days, if the parents are really worried, they can wait until I talk to the little prince before we talk about it."

In fact, Lin Ruhai and his wife also knew that Lin Qing might not be in charge of this matter, although they deliberately shirked it for the sake of their daughter's happiness, after thinking about it, Daiyu's words were reasonable, so they settled down like this.

After discussing with her parents, Daiyu plunged into her study.This marriage is probably going to be concluded, but as a modern person, Situ Zhuo should be able to accept such things as a prenuptial agreement, right?

Daiyu took a piece of paper and listed the conditions she had thought up one by one. After checking that there were no mistakes or omissions, she read it twice and memorized it well before burning the paper.It's better not to leave any evidence for such deviant stuff.

At the same time, Daiyu also sighed, under the imperial power, there are too many restrictions, even the prenuptial agreement can only be agreed verbally, and I don't know if Situ Zhuo will go back on his word in the future.

As Daiyu expected, Situ Zhuo came the next day.

When Shui Lan was on trial before, the two of them no longer paid attention to the defense of men and women in their discussions. Now that it is about marriage, they naturally no longer avoid suspicion.It was still Daiyu who invited Situ Zhuo into the study, leaving Chunshan and Xueyan to watch outside, Daiyu poured two cups of tea and said, "My lord, please drink some tea."

Situ Zhuo thanked him, raised his teacup and took a sip, and said: "Miss Lin, the emperor's grandfather summoned Mr. Cui, Minister of Dali Temple a few days ago." With Daiyu's intelligence, Situ Zhuo only needed to order this.

Sure enough, Daiyu nodded and said: "I know. But I hope that if we must get married, the little prince will promise me a few conditions."

Situ Zhuo smiled and said, "I've also listed a few restrictions on myself here. Miss Lin read it first and then consider adding or subtracting?" Then he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu took it apart and looked at it. This was actually a prenuptial agreement written by Situ Zhuo. What's rare is that almost every clause was from the woman's point of view, so it was similar to the one she had drawn up.

Daiyu read such important events one by one.Situ Zhuo was a thoughtful person, and this 'agreement' contained nothing but what Daiyu had originally planned.Such as not having a different room before one's full age; reconciliation and divorce if conditions permit and both parties agree in the future; filial piety to both parents and so on;

For example, Situ Zhuo proposed that unless the two parties really get along and develop feelings for each other, both parties can refuse to have sex.This one is much more beneficial to Daiyu than Daiyu's proposal that the woman should not have intercourse before she becomes an adult.

In addition, Situ Zhuo also proposed that once the two parties get married, the man will conveniently hand over the property under his name to the woman. If the two parties reconcile in the future, the woman can take half of the property of the palace, and the woman's dowry will belong to the woman.

This condition made Daiyu laugh, even in the marriage law of later generations, the property of the palace should also belong to Situ Zhuo's pre-marital property, and only the value-added part of the property of the palace should belong to the joint property of the husband and wife.If it is a reconciliation, the woman will directly share half of the property of the palace, which is extremely generous even in later generations.

Daiyu laughed and said, "The little prince doesn't care about wealth."

Situ Zhuo's tone was very light, but he said seriously: "Miss Lin, we are all time-travelers. I don't care what your identity was before time-traveling. Here, you are all women. In a patriarchal society, women's lives are not easy. More It's always good to have wealth. The reason why I brought up this point is because Brother Yu and Liu Xianglian should all be capable, and their characters are also good. With these properties, you can In the future, you won't be implicated. If your brothers and sisters are helpless, I dare not make such a condition.

As for myself, to tell Miss Lin, my ideal is still to go back to modern times.Now that I have not opened my residence, I cannot leave Beijing. In the future, I will always try to see if I can wear it back.It would be even better if we could wear it back together, but I see Miss Lin and her family have a deep relationship, and I can't let it go, so if I try to wear it back in the future, I always have to think of a way out for the girl. "

Daiyu was a little touched, she had thought carefully about everything these years, and she didn't dare to make the slightest mistake, so naturally she would not put her mind on her children's personal relationship, and she and Situ Zhuo had known each other for a few years, and it was only a cooperative relationship.But Situ Zhuo's ability to consider all of this from his own point of view at least proves that Situ Zhuo has a good character.

I was born as a person in the book, so I can't abandon everything in this world like Situ Zhuo, and seek a way to travel to the modern society regardless.So can I really stay unmarried in this world?Rather than marrying other princes and grandchildren, facing the need to have a son, and facing groups of concubines, it is better to be a couple with Situ Zhuo.

So Daiyu said with a smile: "I thank the little prince for thinking about this for me. I trust the character of the little prince. There is no need to sign this contract, so as to save trouble."

In fact, there are many other contents in Situ Zhuo's draft "agreement": such as Situ Zhuo's promise that he will not accept concubines, but if Daiyu sees other men in the future, he can propose divorce and so on. The woman considers a lot of content.

Of course, the 'agreement' in Daiyu's heart also has this part of the reciprocal content. Daiyu smiled and said: "If the little prince meets a woman he likes in the future, he can take a concubine, or propose a divorce, and marry her as his concubine." .”

Situ Zhuo smiled wryly and said: "If we get married, the imperial grandfather will definitely issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage. In fact, we have said so much, maybe we will not even have the freedom to divorce in the future. I am a man, it doesn't matter in a patriarchal society, but I am sorry after all. Girl. The reason why I drafted this thing is to let the girl know that I respect the girl."

Daiyu nodded and said with a smile: "The little prince has a heart. There is no need to sign this thing."

However, Situ Zhuo took the 'agreement' over, took the ink pad on Daiyu's desk, stamped his handprints, and said: "Although this thing may be a disaster if left in the world, but what Situ Zhuo signed, Any time counts." After speaking, he handed the 'agreement' to Daiyu.

Daiyu took it and threw it into the brazier to burn.He smiled and said, "Is there really no concern for the little prince here?"

have!Having been a soldier for many years, the belief of serving the people is almost carved into his bones.Before, Situ Zhuo had been thinking hard about surviving, but now, after the survival crisis was temporarily lifted, although Situ Zhuo always had the idea of ​​leaving here and traveling back, he still had a lot of worries when he asked himself.

I just heard Situ Zhuo say: "Miss Lin, I have lived here for more than ten years, and I have met many people. My parents have given me the kindness to support me, and I also have many friends. Over the years, many palace people have taken risks They even get something in return for finding information for me. Not only do I have a lot of concerns here, but I also have the responsibility to protect these low-level people.

But you have to know, this is just a book after all; and in the real world, I also have parents and relatives.I disappear these days, maybe they are worried about me and don't think about food and drink.For me, the biggest pain is nothing more than having two memories, but I can only choose to live on one side.Well, after careful consideration, if possible, I would still choose the real world.

As for this place, after the downfall of Little Concubine Zhong and the Ninth Prince, the days to come may slowly return to normal. If one day, I have the ability to settle down with the people I care about here, then I may feign death and leave to try to travel back. Method.

Miss Lin, how about you?In the real world, is there no care? "Before, Situ Zhuo mentioned to Daiyu about finding a way to go back. From Daiyu's words at that time, Situ Zhuo could tell that Daiyu was more worried about this side.

Daiyu smiled and said: "There are, but over there, there is only one person I care about. Maybe he will live better without me."

Daiyu said this with a smile, but Situ Zhuo could feel a trace of sadness and helplessness in Daiyu's mood.Situ Zhuo's upbringing did not allow him to ask the bottom line of other people's private affairs, so he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't ask."

Daiyu smiled politely and said, "It's all over."

It is indeed all over, and as Daiyu said, the person she cared about in the real world might be better off without her.

After traveling to the modern society, Daiyu didn't know that she could travel back to the world of the Red Chamber and have the chance to save her parents and younger brother.But she felt that since God gave her a new identity and allowed her to live in a completely different world, Daiyu also thought about living well in the real world, and even ushered in her first true free love.

Moreover, the boyfriend said that he would take him back to meet his parents and family to prepare for marriage.

Daiyu was very scared at that time.Her identity in the real world is a female soldier named Lin Sheng. Lin Sheng grew up in an orphanage, and her boyfriend has a good family background. Daiyu is afraid that because of the disparity in status between the two, there will be a gap, and her boyfriend's parents and family will not accept her.

Although Daiyu had accepted a lot of new ideas in modern society at that time, she had a deeper understanding of the right family, not to mention that even in later generations, the right family was not completely abandoned.Daiyu confessed her worries to her boyfriend, saying that she wanted to go out to relax, and if she came back from a trip and adjusted her mentality, she would go to see her in-laws-to-be.

At that time, Daiyu knew that she was just a character in a book, but the world of Red Mansions was the world she had lived in, and all the sorrows and joys of her previous life were contained in a book.To live in a new world with a new identity, Daiyu always wants to find the place in her memory, and even wants to offer a stick of incense to her parents, telling them that she is living well in a new place, where the monogamous system, Without concubines, concubines and concubines, her boyfriend is well-bred and treats herself very well, so she will be happy.

Daiyu had already been to the capital where she lived the longest in her previous life, that is, Beijing in her later life, but she did not find such places as Rongguo Mansion and Grand View Garden.I went to Jiujiang and Yangzhou one after another, and found no traces related to the memory of my previous life.

Daiyu was the last to go to Suzhou.Although she was originally from Gusu, the only time she really stayed in Suzhou in her previous life was during the few days for her father's funeral. Who knew that she actually found the old Lin family's house in Suzhou, and returned to the world of Red Mansions after staying for one night.

It is naturally good to come back, there is time to save the younger brother who fell into the water, and there is time to change the fate of the family.It's just that when she dreamed back at midnight, Daiyu would also think of her boyfriend who she thought would definitely become her husband.

But now that I think about it, my boyfriend has a handsome appearance, rich knowledge, excellent self-cultivation, and a rich family background. Without him, he will definitely find a gentle and beautiful woman who is comparable to his family background to marry, right?Although every time Daiyu thinks of this, her heart is slightly sour, but it is very good to think about it carefully.

Situ Zhuo looked at Daiyu's expression clearly lost in memory and didn't speak. After a long time, he said: "If I really have a chance to fake death and leave in the future, girl, you might as well tell me the name and address of the person you care about. There is no way to travel through science. Explain, I know the chances of wearing it back are slim, but if I am lucky enough to go back, I am willing to visit your old friend as a girl's friend and tell him that the girl is fine."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Well, first of all, I would like to thank the little prince."

Situ Zhuo said: "I don't think it's necessary to be too polite between friends."

Daiyu nodded with a smile.

In this society, there are blind marriages and dumb marriages. Of course, marriages between noble children are slightly better.Many of them took advantage of various banquets to catch a few glimpses from afar.But in this social background, I am afraid that there is no other couple like Situ Zhuo and Daiyu who have had such exchanges before they got married.

After this meeting, Daiyu directly agreed to the marriage with her parents.

In fact, Daiyu knew that there was no room for the Lin family to disagree with this marriage.Perhaps from Lin Ruhai and his wife's point of view, the reason why Situ Zhuo chose a concubine at this time was to please the emperor.But Daiyu knew that Emperor Taizong thought of Situ Zhuo's marriage at this time because he was thinking about Situ's family.

I am just a woman, even if I have some insight into the situation, in this society full of prejudice and contempt for women, I will not arouse anyone's fear.But as one of the variables that change the direction of the world situation, it is different.

The premise why Emperor Taizong allowed himself to live was that he was kind in nature and focused on the overall situation, and would not threaten the country and the country for selfish desires.But in the eyes of the king of a country, a woman is always a man's vassal. When I was a girl in the Lin family, no matter how talented I was, she would not threaten the country, but what if I married an ambitious husband in the future?

Therefore, there is another necessary condition for Emperor Taizong to allow himself to live, that is, in the future, his husband must also be someone who will not threaten the country.There is no better candidate for this person than Situ Zhuo.

Situ Zhuo's respect for life even surpassed the scope of the royal family's understanding of human life.For example, in the eyes of nobles, slaves who are humble and can die at any time, in Situ Zhuo's eyes, their lives are at stake.Emperor Taizong also heard about Daiyu's good bow and knew that Situ Zhuo could not threaten the country, so he left Situ Zhuo's appearance. As for Lin Daiyu, no matter how capable he is, he is a man's vassal.

Since Lin Daiyu said that the good bow can be temporarily put away as a spare, let her assist the good bow. Only in this way can Emperor Taizong rest assured.

The marriage between Situ Zhuo and Daiyu was soon settled, but if Situ Zhuo got married, he would have to go out of the palace to open a mansion. The problem now is that there is no ready-made regulated county palace, and the Ministry of Rites said that it needs to build a new one.Of course, there is an empty Prince's Mansion, which is the mansion of the Ninth Prince.

Now that the Ninth Prince has been punished long ago, the former Ninth Prince's mansion has been taken back by the imperial court.

I don't know what Emperor Taizong thought, maybe since he gave Situ Zhuo a marriage, he wanted to make the Chongxi matter like that, so the marriage process was quite fast, and the former Ninth Prince The mansion was given to Situ Zhuo, and after being renovated by the Ministry of Industry, Situ Zhuo and Lin Daiyu chose a date to get married.

After Situ Zhuo got the news, he said to Daiyu: "This palace has seen blood and has been confiscated. It's not very auspicious, and I don't know if you don't mind."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Now the prince is of the rank of county prince, and he directly let me live in the prince's mansion. That's because I took advantage of it. Why do you mind?"
