Chapter 113: Zuo Wenxiang redesigns the plan
Zuo Ling looked at his father's anxious appearance, and he was not nervous at all, but smiled.
"No, I'm not crazy. On the contrary, I woke up when I saw Xu Gongzi today, and I realized that I had been living a mess before, and everything was at your mercy, you chose a son-in-law for me, and made a marriage contract, everything seems to be your business, and it has nothing to do with me. I am like a person who has been drugged, living like a puppet, and the thread is in your hands. ”
"Okay, don't say it, I think you're really crazy, and it's getting more and more unlikely!" Zuo Wenxiang said angrily.
"Don't stop me, let me finish my words today, even if you use the family law to deal with me tomorrow, but let me finish my words today. I die without regrets. "Zuo Ling actually has a bit of righteousness and awe-inspiring meaning.
"Well, you say, you can say anything at home. Don't go outside and talk about it, make people laugh at the uneducated. ”
Zuo Wenxiang looked at his daughter both distressed and helpless, he felt that his daughter was really sick, and she was very sick, otherwise she would not suddenly follow the devil.
"It was when I saw the little miracle doctor that I suddenly woke up and found that I had been really bored and fake all these years, almost like acting. It was he who awakened the long-hidden love in my heart, just like my mother's love for you. Even though you failed it, I still don't think my mother's choice was wrong. Zuo Ling said like a memory and a dream, with a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes, but his beautiful face twitched in pain.
Zuo Wenxiang lowered his head, this was the only thing that made him unable to raise his head in front of his daughter, and he was irrefutable.
Zuo Ling continued: "Today I also discovered it, found the person buried deep in my heart, and I can now understand my mother's mood at that time. ”
"I think you're really confused, don't say that that kid may already have a marriage contract at home, he is now carrying a little girl next to him, he must be a romantic person. Isn't it a dream that you want to find true love and happiness in such a person? ”
"Then I don't care, the little divine doctor is not destined to be possessed by one woman, haven't you married twenty-two stepmothers for me? Is the performance as good as yours? Zuo Ling sneered.
Zuo Wenxiang really regretted that he was cheap, why did he come to his daughter's room at this time, obviously looking for himself to be bored. He wanted to walk away, but he was afraid that if his daughter couldn't think of it and followed her mother's old path, he would really regret it.
He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, if you really like this guy and think that you can find true love and happiness in him, Dad will fulfill you." ”
"Really? Dad, you have to count when you speak. Zuo Ling couldn't believe it.
"Count counts, when does Daddy's words not count? I can't stand your mother anymore, and I won't live with you anymore. With that, he walked out with a heavy step.
Zuo Wenxiang came to the front study, his son Zuo Dongge was waiting there, and Yahuan avoided it after serving tea.
"Let's change the plan, although the situation is unfavorable, but it is not enough to lose the overall situation."
Zuo Wenxiang sighed and told his son about a new set of plans that he had just wanted to think of.
"This ...... Too radical, right? ”
Zuo Dongge was stunned, this plan was good, but it was too vicious, and there were too many variables. He couldn't believe why his father, who had always been scheming and paying attention to long-term strategy, would have such thoughts.
"This is the only way, you must lead him into the middle of the court, and then hold him tightly. This is a great gift to your sister, and it is also a piece of my heart, otherwise I will die blindly. ”
Zuo Wenxiang said and slammed his fist on the table.
Although her father guaranteed the ticket, Zuo Ling's mood did not improve, she lost trust in her father, didn't he swear to his mother Shanmenghai back then, what was the result, it didn't mean that the hexagram was changed.
"A concubine gives birth to a daughter."
She muttered, her chest full of shame, and she lay on the table and cried.
Speaking of the big day, it is still different whether the concubine is born or the concubine, the so-called concubine is born to the wife, and the concubine is the concubine. In ancient times, "raised by a little wife" was a vicious curse, which was about concubines giving birth to children, and the viciousness index was four-star, second only to five-star wild species.
In the patriarchal system, the family law is greater than the national law, and the rules of conduct are greater than the three-foot law. Even in the royal family, if a child makes a mistake, it is the family law that is enforced, and the Zongren Mansion rules and enforces it.
In the late Ming Dynasty, due to the weight of the civil ministers, some cases of the royal family were also handed over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for trial, such as the famous attack case, the red pill case, the palace seizure and other four strange cases, most of which were also unresolved. Once the case is involved with the prince, the crown prince, or even the emperor, it cannot be tried and investigated normally.
In the family law, the eldest son is greater than the concubine, and the eldest son is greater than the other children, which is the system of the eldest son and the eldest son formulated since the Han Dynasty.
In a family, the greatest benefit is given to the eldest son, and then to the other children of the first child. If the children who are born after the division is completed, if they are born to a maid who does not even have the status of a concubine, it will be miserable. This is stipulated by the patriarchal system, and the head of the family must also act accordingly. If a family dispute arises and the case goes to court, the judge will also adjudicate the case according to this system.
The concubine can eat meat, and the concubine can only gnaw bones. As for the soup, everyone drinks it, after all, they are all biological children.
This is true in the family, and even more so when adults are married. Whenever a marriage is agreed, the other party must first figure out whether it is a concubine or a concubine, and must be a concubine and a concubine, otherwise they will feel that they have suffered a great loss.
In "Dream of Red Mansions", Tanchun is in a hurry to have a relationship with Jia Baoyu, the second brother and the second brother do not leave their mouths, and they will make a pair of shoes or something when they have nothing to do, just because she is a concubine. Therefore, she herself did not recognize her mother as her own mother at all, and kept saying that she only recognized Mrs. Wang as her mother, just to correct her status as a concubine.
This is not to blame her, in the family, only the main wife has a legal status, and the concubine is actually a slave, which belongs to the family property, which can be sold and exchanged, just like the decoration of objects, but the main wife has legal protection, at most, it is to accuse her of committing the seven out of the rules, she can be divorced, but she cannot be bought and sold, let alone exchanged.
As for the poor selling their wives and pawning their wives, it was really a helpless move that would only be made when they were forced into a desperate situation with no way out.
Although the concubine is a slave, the children born to the concubine still have a certain status in the family. Anyway, he is the master, and his status is higher than that of his mother, isn't there this one in "Dream of Red Mansions", when Tanchun had a dispute with his mother, Wang Xifeng pointed at the aunt's nose and scolded: "Whether she is good or not, she is also a serious master, and it is not your turn to teach a lesson." ”
The mother is a slave, but the child is the master, in the imperial era of filial piety, there are such strange things everywhere. Although he is a master, the master born to the slave and the master born to the master are naturally disparate in status, and the hierarchy is clear.
Emperor Shenzong was also very troubled because of the establishment of the crown prince, and he had been playing Tai Chi with the ministers for more than ten years, and the status of the prince could not be determined, which made people unstable inside and outside the court.
The Queen Mother couldn't sit still and asked directly about the matter. The Empress Dowager asked Shenzong why he was not clear about the status of the crown prince, and Shenzong told the truth in front of the queen mother: "He is a maidservant's son." ”
When the queen mother heard this, she was furious: "I was also born by a servant!" ”
Shenzong was gagged by the queen mother's words, and he didn't dare to disobey his mother's will. The status of the crown prince was finally determined.
At the beginning of the Republic of China, President Yuan Shikai wanted to bury his mother in Zuqi, but the elder brother who was the patriarch did not agree to anything, because the concubine was not qualified to bury Zuqi after her death.
You are the president of a country, in charge of the Beiyang warlords, respected by the world, but there is no absolute authority in the family. His brother is not a big official, but the eldest son and a patriarch can suppress him to the death. He had no choice but to bury his mother separately, and at the same time vowed never to be buried in Zu Qi after his death, and to accompany his mother under Jiuquan.
Of course, as the president, although he served as Emperor Hongxian for 81 days, after his death, the government of the Republic of China built a super luxurious cemetery for him.
Everything is the fault of the concubine, and even the emperor and president cannot change it.
At the beginning, Zuo Ling's mother was popular all over the country, but she married Zuo Wenxiang, because Zuo Wenxiang swore at that time that he would straighten her out after his wife died. This sentence can often touch a woman's heart.
At that time, Zuo Wenxiang's wife was already seriously ill and couldn't afford to stay in bed, but the Zuo family had a famous doctor and good medicine, and they managed to survive for nearly ten years before swallowing their last breath.
Zuo Ling's mother thought that the concubine for many years could finally become a regular concubine, but Zuo Wenxiang actually married a wealthy widow due to business needs, and Zuo Ling's mother's dream of more than ten years turned into Huang Liang, and she hanged herself in a fit of anger.
This matter was a sensation, although several years have passed, Qinhuai River still circulates that immortal legend, it is people who sigh, say anything and scold everything, and for a time the Zuo family became the target of everyone.
Zuo Ling's mother's good friends still have a lot of power in their hands, but they can't be angry, and secretly make a lot of stumbling blocks for the Zuo family, and the Zuo family's business has suffered a lot of blows.
"Miss, it's late at night, let's rest."
An elderly mother-in-law and a maid came in with their own bedding, and they were going to lay the floor in the house and take good care of the young lady.
"What do you want to do? Get out and get out! Zuo Ling raised his head and shouted.
"Miss, you don't want to drive us, this is the master's order." The mother-in-law smiled bitterly.
"Miss, are you hungry, I'll go get you some snacks." Yahuan asked.
Zuo Ling shook her head, she really wanted to leave this family as soon as possible and get rid of her father's cage as soon as possible, whether it was good or bad. She longed for freedom, and now she has finally reached this hurdle.
"Miss, what does that little divine doctor look like, I heard that he is a god, did he really meet your eyes?"
"Eye-to-eye? I'm not a king, what kind of eyes. Zuo Ling feigned anger.
"Don't dare, it's the servant who said the wrong thing, the servant said that you really like him?" Yahuan hurriedly made a half-kneeling pose.
"Well, I really haven't taken a fancy to anyone for so many years, and somehow, I have taken a fancy to him."
To his servant, Zuo Ling said it timidly.
"Miss, then you have too many competitors, I'm afraid it's not easy to get him." Yahuan Road.
"How do you know that there are so many who want to marry him?"
Zuo Ling became nervous, it seemed that the news had already spread, and the competitors were moved when they heard the wind, and they were born dwarfs as a concubine. She was angry with her father at the time, saying that she would not hesitate to be a concubine, and she was also angry.
How did she know that her cunning father couldn't make a plan and had another plan. In front of Zuo Wenxiang, his daughter is just a chick, she can be willful, but she can't spoil the Zuo family's plans.
In this way, Zuo Ling's fate is really uncertain, and his future is worrying.
