[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

It is human nature to sympathize with the weak, because by sympathizing with the weak, one can flaunt one's own justice and morality.Compared with the chief minister of the first dynasty, Shen Ren, who is only the third-rank Shuntian Fuyin, and Shen Yue, who is only from the fourth rank, are both weak. Everyone saw the desolation when they moved, and many people went to Xin. A housewarming ceremony was presented on the plaque of "Shen's Mansion".

However, Shen Ren only sent envoys with rewards, he didn't accept gifts from everyone, and he didn't even entertain guests as usual.After their father and son left the government office, they still went to the scholar's mansion to pay their respects first, and then returned to the newly opened Shen mansion dejectedly.As for the female relatives, they lingered in the scholar's mansion every day until after lunch before returning to their own mansion.As for brother Xun and brother acquaintance, it is said that it was Mrs. Shen who asked to stay with each other. The children have to study in the scholar's residence, so they don't have to go back and forth every day.

Everyone felt more sympathy for Shen Ren and his son. Even the sage felt that Bachelor Shen had done too much. He found a reason for Shen Yue to write the will, and he appreciated Shen Yue a lot, and he supported Shen Yue.

After that reward, Xueshi Shen seemed to realize that Shen Yue was not only his grandson, but also the husband of the empress' adopted daughter, and now he can be regarded as half of Shen Yue's father-in-law.I heard that Shen Ren and his son left the scholar's mansion with smiles on their faces that day, and half a month had passed since they moved.

"You don't need to pretend this time?" Shen Ren sat on the stable carriage and asked his son softly.

Shen Yue hit him: "Brother's marriage will be finalized in a few days, and then the master will have to pretend again."

Occasionally pretending, Shen Ren felt that the pressure was not too great, but he really hadn't heard about Brother Yan's engagement: "Brother Yan has already made an appointment? Which family are you talking about?

Shen Yue looked at his father with some puzzlement: "My wife is still packing up the wedding ceremony for my aunt, why didn't I tell the master which family my brother is dating?"

Shen Ren was a little embarrassed: "Your mother thought I was too careless about Brother Xun's marriage, and refused to talk to me properly for a few days. Brother Xun is only 14 years old, and one of the people said that it would be better to marry him." What are you busy with now? I will be blamed if I get engaged to you too early, but if I want to get engaged to Brother Xun later, I will still be blamed by her, this woman!"

Shen Yue understood the reason why Fang's refusal to talk to Shen Ren, and told him: "Brother Yan, it is the daughter of Cheng Shilang's family from the Ministry of Rites." Then, seeing Shen Ren really lost.

Shen Yue understands that Xueshi Shen appointed brother Yan to be the prostitute of Cheng Shilang's family in the Ministry of Rites, just to do a full set of plays: in order to suppress the second wife who is getting more and more popular, he is willing to separate the second son from the house early, so naturally he has to give it to the eldest son. Fang then finds a powerful in-law so that he can continue to suppress the second family.

Although there are such in-laws again, the scholar's mansion seems to have returned to the old road that Shen Yue said, but the Cheng family will only marry the youngest daughter instead of the eldest daughter, and she is Cheng Shilang's old daughter. The fate has passed, and the possibility of further progress is extremely small.This in-law is really hard for Bachelor Shen to find out.

Shen Yue could also understand Shen Ren's loss: Cheng Shilang was of the same grade as Shen Xin, but he was willing to marry his prostitute daughter to Shen Xin's second son, and it was almost impossible not to consider the position of Shen Xin's chief assistant.But their house has been separated, and they are still suppressed by Xueshi Shen on the surface, Brother Xun's daughter-in-law will definitely be lower than Cheng's family.

This alone is enough to make Ren Ren injustice, he can't say to every person he looks at: My father suppressed me on the surface, but he didn't treat me badly when we separated, and directly gave me [-]% of the family property. Others' second sons have [-]% more property, but our family has no shortage of money.My eldest son is capable and will be able to support his brothers in the future.

Marriage depends more on the father's generation, who dares to really count on the elder brother?Just look at the fact that Shen Xin and Shen Ren, brothers who are direct relatives, have separated their family early, and it is known.

Under such disappointment, Shen Ren didn't have a good face when he returned home. Fang Shi still thought he was acting, and said with a smile: "I've already gone home, and no one is watching anymore, master don't have to sulk anymore, it's scary of."

Daiyu looked at Shen Yue puzzled, because Shen Yue's complexion was not very good-looking.Sensing Daiyu's gaze, Shen Yue shook his head lightly to her, indicating that he was fine, then Shen Ren sighed and asked Fang: "Brother Yan's marriage is already settled, why didn't you tell me, why don't you tell me?" You should also say congratulations to your eldest brother."

Mrs. Fang smiled indifferently: "Although the master is still thinking about the mansion, the two families have separated after all. When Brother Yan is really engaged, the master will be there. The most important thing is to see brother Xun. Family."

"Why do you want to force Cheng Cheng to go home?" Shen Ren said in a fit of anger, leaving Fang speechless.That is to say, Daiyu grew up under their watch, and they know everyone's temperament. complain.Don't be ashamed!

"Master, have you forgotten our original intention of separating the two families?" Shen Yue stepped forward to persuade: "So what if we act inferior to the uncle's family in front of outsiders? Asking brother to rely on the master and me as an elder brother is no more important than relying on the Yue family." Are you confident?"

After finishing speaking, he found that Shen Ren looked at himself like a fool, Shen Yue then remembered that he seemed to rely more on Yue's family than on Shen's family, and he did so with confidence.He had no choice but to touch his nose: "Even if I get engaged to brother Xun now, I can still grow up in front of my father-in-law like me, can't I let my father-in-law teach me?" It's too late, old man.

"In this way, Brother Xun's daughter-in-law will look good on the contrary, and you don't have to pay too much attention to family status, just talk about the girl's character. This way of showing people weakness, it will be easy for the grandfather to do well." Shen Yue finally persuaded: " It's not easy for the grandpa." To be able to turn out a superficial person like Cheng Shilang as an in-law.

Shen Ren let out another long sigh, so what if it's not the case?Fortunately, he was always open-minded, and his anger passed for a while, and he said to Fang Shi and Daiyu: "Then the matter of asking my brother can't be delayed for too long." Fang Shi and Daiyu had no choice but to agree.

After returning to her own courtyard—now Shen Yue lives in the east courtyard—Daiyu asked: "The grandfather is so self-defiled, isn't it afraid that the saint will find it too abrupt?" The way of checks and balances, I am afraid that they will be aware of it now.

Shen Yue hugged her and sat on the sofa: "Maybe the sage is happy to see it come to fruition." Regardless of whether Bachelor Shen really wants his second grandson to overpower his eldest grandson, or whether he is just acting, the Shen family is a real one. family, leaving a stain in the hearts of everyone, the reputation will not be as loud as before, and the influence of Bachelor Shen will not be as good as before.This is what we want to see today.

Hearing that he said it easily, Daiyu intentionally eased his emotions, and asked, "The dear brother is going out now, is everyone looking at you sympathetically?" Daiyu couldn't help but smile when she thought of that scene, and she smiled Dazed by Shen Yue's eyes, he replied vaguely: "Then do you sympathize with me?" He lowered his head to find the source of the smile.

Daiyu pushed him lightly: "This is all your own doing..." Shen Yue had already swallowed the following words.

After Daiyu regained her breath, she remembered the question she asked Shen Yue, even if she didn't get an answer, from her experience of going out a few times, it's not hard to think of Shen Yue's situation, and she was happy again.This time she learned how to behave, she directly covered her face with a veil, and only laughed at Shen Yue with her bright eyes.

Shen Yue, who has already got a bargain, doesn't care about such a small tease, he thinks that the housework can be considered at ease now, so he happened to ask Daiyu: "Now, besides taking care of the housework with your wife every day, have you ever written poems or paintings?" He has not forgotten his original ideal, that is, after marrying Daiyu, he will travel all over the mountains and rivers with Daiyu, and enjoy poetry and painting together.

Daiyu looked a little disappointed: "Poetry requires time and poetry. My wife is so busy these days, how can I let her be burdened by herself? Should I tell my wife that my poetry has come, and you can do it yourself. So, I’ll go back and finish the poem before I help? Or tell my wife, you can be painted with this look, and you can do other things after I finish the painting?”

"It's all my fault that I let you worry about trifles every day." After hearing this, Shen Yue blamed himself more and more. Daiyu's nature is such that she can enjoy herself with a book and a cup of tea. Worry about trivial matters every day.This is obviously inconsistent with my original intention, and it seems that I still ignore Daiyu's feelings.

"Isn't that how people in the world come here?" Daiyu laughed at herself: "Not to mention my mother, I heard that my wife was very talented when she was in her boudoir. But now you can see that my wife has never written?"

After hearing this, Shen Yue only felt more distressed: "When I straighten out the rules in the house and let those in charge do their own thing, you and your wife will have time to write poems and paintings."

Daiyu didn't believe it, she was told by Jia Min before she got married that she should not only have poems and books, but also be filial to her parents-in-law, serve her husband, and be friendly to her brothers, not just looking after her own happiness.Moreover, when you are married, you will have social relations and relationships, and you have to worry about the internal affairs of your own small yard. How can you let brother Ai finish his work outside and worry about when to eat and when to add clothes when he returns home?

Compared with ordinary people who are daughters-in-law, after marrying into the Shen family, the mother-in-law does not need to set rules by herself, and the father-in-law also regards herself as his own daughter. Daiyu doesn't have to worry about housekeeping. Compared with other brides, it is already much more relaxed. If you are still not satisfied, you are making progress.

But now that Shen Yue actually said that she and his wife could have time to write poems and paintings, Daiyu's eyes couldn't help showing fascination - what brother Ai said can often be done.

Shen Yue saw that she was a little disturbed, and encouraged her: "Why don't you organize your previous poems first, and when I have a picture, how about we print it out?"

After hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly said: "You are talking nonsense again. Can the writing and ink in this boudoir be easily shown to others? If you print them out, even if you are separated, the grandfather will give you a good beating." Not to mention her own. Father, he can't forgive him lightly.

Shen Yue smiled mysteriously, leaned into Daiyu's ear and whispered deliberately: "It's not true that the book was written by you, who can recognize it?"

"I wrote it if I didn't write it?" Shen Yue's seductive voice just now filled Daiyu's mind: Print out your poems, print out your poems... If it is said that she is not tempted, it is a lie.Even if she doesn't care about fame and fortune, Daiyu is still willing to be recognized by others.If my poems are printed without writing my name, will anyone recognize that I did it?Will anyone criticize or agree?Can you hear those voices of criticism or approval?

Shen Yue nodded affirmatively: "Yu'er, before you got married, did the husband pick up the characters for you?" If he did, he should know, why never heard Daiyu mention it.

Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "Father said that he is not as good as you in talent, so I think I will leave this word to you."

My old man is also a person who knows the fun of the boudoir.Shen Yue smiled in satisfaction, and put aside Lin Ruhai's words that he was only crooked, and only thought of a grand, graceful and dignified name, which would be considered worthy of Daiyu.Then Shen Yue knew why Lin Ruhai didn't take the words for Daiyu:

In Lin Ruhai's eyes, Daiyu should be the same as in his eyes, a unique treasure in the world, so no matter what word he chooses, he feels that it does not describe all of Daiyu, and then Lin Ruhai can throw the problem to him with a high-sounding sound, and He thought he had taken advantage of it.

After thinking about it for two days, Shen Yue came to discuss with Daiyu: "Yu'er thinks, how about choosing the word Jinghua?"

Daiyu thought about it for a while, and then explained her meaning: "Furong is also called Jingke, also known as Shuihua. Brother Ai hopes that I will be like that Furong, that I can feel the warmth by facing the water, and quietly face Yuehua?"

Shen Yue added with a smile: "You can even brush high against Lv Qing, and there will be mixed smoke." If you are a lotus, I will be the quiet bamboo by the water, and watch with you day and night.The two of them agreed with each other, and they both smiled, so they decided on Daiyu's words.

Shen Yue gave Daiyu these two characters, which has a deeper meaning, these two characters can be male or female, and when Daiyu's poetry anthology is printed in the future, it will not reveal her daughter's identity, lest ordinary moralists make use of it.

But if he wanted to print Daiyu's poems, Shen Yue thought that it would be better to build a printing library by himself, so as not to send the poems back and forth and get out of the wind.But the idea is good, how to build a press and how to operate the press are also difficult problems:

If it was built just for Daiyu's printing, even if Fang didn't say anything, Shen Yue himself would feel a little extravagant.It's better to build the printing house on a slightly larger scale and print other books for sale, which is equivalent to adding income to the family.

Moreover, most of the literati in this world have self-printed poems and essays, and Shen Yue has already thought of a name that he can borrow - now that it is obvious that Shen Xueshi doesn't want to see him, he can just use Shen Taishi's written statement to print, Others only thought that he set up another name to please Shen Xueshi.

After Shen Yue understood the current situation of printing in this world, he felt that he had the responsibility to open the library: printing in this world has already developed movable clay type, and wooden movable type is commonly used, but metal movable type such as lead and copper is rarely used .It's easy to understand that copper is a state-controlled material, but Shen Yue didn't want to understand why lead type was not used.

Moreover, although the printing is a movable type, manual work is required for ink brushing and flipping, resulting in low efficiency and high book prices.If you improve the printing flipping method yourself and greatly increase the printing output, you can save costs and lower the price of books.

In this way, there is another reason for the crown: to enlighten the wisdom of the people!

Shen Yue, who was about to make up his mind, was choosing a location, and at the same time, he was thinking about accompanying Daiyu's poems with pictures, so he sent out Shuangxi, who had already been in charge.The place he was sent to was the place where Yangliuqingnian paintings were produced in later generations, and he was asked to find as many craftsmen who could engrave and seal as possible, even if there were more ICBC.

Waiting for the princes who have started listening to the government, I heard that Shen Yue started sending people out again, except for the eldest prince and the second prince, they came to the Hanlin Academy to find Shen Yue and inquire about what he sent people out to find, and to find someone to come back What do you want to do again?

It turned out that these people acted according to Shen Yue's request last time, no matter how well they completed their errands, they were all appreciated today, and they all got the chance to listen to the government after the Dragon Boat Festival.In this way, can you not know that Shen Yue's idea is very good, and if you act according to his words, you can win the sacred heart of the emperor?Now that I heard that Shen Yue made another move, he naturally refused to let go of the opportunity to make new contributions.

After hearing Shen Yue Mingli's plan, because the eldest prince was not there, the fifth prince, who felt that he had the best relationship with Shen Yue, went over the third prince and said, "You want to print something, why bother. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also has a place to print newspapers , just let them print it for you. Isn’t it more convenient than building a printing library yourself?”

That's right, why did I forget the Ministry of Internal Affairs?Not to mention all the skilled craftsmen in this country are in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is still possible that most of them are concentrated there.Shen Yue knew how to improve the printing efficiency, so it fell on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there was still some flinching on his face:

"The last time when I got married, I borrowed the manpower from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but was impeached by others. Although I made a clear distinction, I still have lingering fears when I think about it. So let's find someone to do it slowly."

The third prince was finally able to intervene at this time: "Last time it was just a villain making trouble, so we couldn't see that our brothers are united. It is a grand event in the literary world that you want to print Grand Master Shen's posthumous work. Everyone should cheer up."

He is well-known among the princes as a lover of reading, and when he said these words, he was even more energetic, with brilliance in his eyes, and he had the intention of doing something big with Shen Yue.The fourth prince is still a real person: "Where did Mr. Xiao Shen choose the address of the printing house? If there is a shortage of manpower, just talk." Every sentence is not far from helping.

The sixth, seventh, and ninth princes had different thoughts, and the sixth prince asked how much money Shen Yue wanted to invest.What the Seventh Prince wants is to supervise Shen Yue with the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is best for him to do it himself.The Ninth Prince wanted Shen Yue to print more books on spells and mathematics. When he said this, the Third Prince also emphasized that more rare books should be printed.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince hadn't spoken, Shen Yue also wanted to ask: "Does the Eighth Prince think that there is something wrong with this printing house?"

Since the eighth prince worked with the fourth prince, his temperament seems to be more cheerful, and his body is not as weak as in previous years. Hearing Shen Yue asking himself, he thought about it and said: "The aristocratic families and scholars all take pleasure in obtaining rare books. If According to what Brother Sanhuang said, if you print more rare and rare copies, if the rare and rare copies are not rare, you will not see its preciousness. Isn’t it to make those who have kept rare and rare copies suffer? "

The third prince himself is also a good collector of books. Hearing the eighth prince's words, his face became a little hot: "It's just that I didn't think carefully."

However, Shen Yue shook his head: "The eighth prince's worries are for those who have hidden the rare copy, and it is because the eighth prince has benevolence in his heart. But has the eighth prince ever thought about it, that the lonely copy is hidden in the hands of one person? Collect it, only for one person or a family to read, and then cherish it with a broom, and keep it secret. How many people want to see it but can't get it, how many predecessors' true knowledge and insights have disappeared in the world."

"If these books are printed, they can be read by many people, so that scholars all over the world can appreciate the knowledge of the predecessors and gain something from it, then my style of writing in the court will surely flourish."

"And what the Ninth Prince said about printing more books on spells and so on is even more important. Now when it comes to Kong Ming's wooden cow and horse, Lu Ban's flying bird around the beam, everyone can only imagine it out of thin air. If someone put these few If the method of making something is recorded in a book, then the method of making it can be passed on forever, instead of the way it is today."

The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Will Mr. Xiao Shen also print a book about mechanism manufacturing?"

A firm look appeared in Shen Yue's eyes: "As long as there is a book to rely on and evidence to test, it can benefit the common people in the world, so what about the seal?!"

The Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince's eyes lit up when they heard this: "Okay, I'll go back and collect such books now." After finishing speaking, they were about to leave.

Shen Yue smiled wryly and pulled the two of them back: "The two princes stayed behind. Shen Yue was moved by the resolute actions of the princes, but don't say that the printing house has not been built yet, it has been built, what to print, how to print, how to distribute after printing, Where to store and other things, you have to think about it one by one, otherwise," Shen Yue's face became more bitter when he said this: "Otherwise, I can't afford to pay for the power of one person."

A look of disapproval appeared on the face of the third prince: "Master Xiao Shen said just now that if it benefits the people and common people in the world, it doesn't matter if it is printed. Now, if you talk about making money and making money, wouldn't it be worldly?"

You are not secular, don't eat and dress, okay?Shen Yue refrained from giving the third prince a hard look, this person is much more delicate than the second prince, so he had to reason with him: "The third prince doesn't know, no matter the craftsman or the paper and ink used in this printing, all of them use silver. Not to mention, the left and right ministers also want to build this printing house, and they have already made preparations."

"However, what Shen Yue prepared was only enough to print some of the ancestors' posthumous works, or to print some more, just some three hundred thousand illustrated books, so that the children would not regard enlightenment as a boring thing. The rest, Chen Ruo If you have spare energy, you can print them one by one. However, there are so many books in the world, if you print them one by one indiscriminately, I really can't support it."

After hearing what the third prince said, the sixth prince had already secretly rolled Shen Yue's eyes that he didn't have the nerve to roll. Now that Shen Yue had finished speaking, he said to the third prince: "Third brother, do you know how to print a book, if only fifty copies are printed at a time? , How much money do you need, and how much money do you need to print two hundred copies? If you print all the books you find, let alone Mr. Xiao Shen, even the treasury may not be able to support it."

The third prince has a literati temperament. When he hears about printing a book, he thinks it is an elegant event. He thinks that he can print as much as he can, and he can print as many times as he can.But after hearing what the sixth prince said, I realized that I had taken it for granted.

But this kind of thing is right in front of us, if we can't do it, the third prince will feel a little bit unwilling: "Then how about we brothers open this printing house together with Mr. Xiao Shen?"

Shen Yue waved his hands again and again: "You princes are very affectionate, but don't mention the matter of opening a printing library together." The princes naturally wanted to ask the truth, but Shen Yue was anxious to be asked, so he said, I was afraid that my grandfather would feel that he was using the power of the princes to oppress others, so that the princes would look at each other in dismay.
