"Shi Xiao Shulang, I understand. What you mean is that wealth gained by groveling to power will not last long. What can really be left to future generations is only good family style and culture, not these so-called wealth. Miss Qin asked.

"Yes, only a good family culture and culture are fundamental. Otherwise, no matter how much wealth or power there is, it will inevitably disappear in the end. Shi Bufan replied in the affirmative.

Of course, Shi Bufan knows that there is no family in this world that will never decay, and only the excellent family atmosphere and culture that are guaranteed to be inherited by the family are guaranteed, and if you rely on the so-called wealth, it will not last long. Wealth and power, there will always be a day when they are lost. But when you lose your power and wealth, whether your family can still exist depends on your own family inheritance. Of course, this can only be done within the same era, and if once you cross the era and reach the era of class struggle, then no matter how much good atmosphere and ability you have, it will be useless. Once it comes to the struggle for change between classes, it doesn't matter whether you are a moral person or not, as long as you are in this class, you will be eliminated by history.

"Shi Xiaoshulang, I hope we can continue to talk! I hope that we will all be able to come together too! Miss Qin said immediately.

Shi Bufan immediately asked, "Do you still want to do it for your Qin family's estate?" ”

"No, I'm for myself!" Miss Qin replied.

"Yourself?" Shi Bufan asked.

Miss Qin continued: "From what Shi Xiaoshulang said just now, I understand that Shi Xiaoshulang is a knowledgeable and talented person, and he is a person who really looks up to me. Other people may just see that I am a businesswoman, and naturally they will not give it a damn. Only Shi Xiaoshulang looked up to me, and he took the trouble to tell me this. And only Shi Xiaoshulang said that marrying a wife is a spouse who pursues the soul, not just a tool for procreation. Therefore, Shi Xiao Shulang is a good match that any woman in the world hopes to have, so I would like to hope that Shi Xiao Shulang can consider whether we can also get married, and then I can encourage each other when we are difficult and be a friend when we are successful. And then don't leave it in times of trouble, what do you think? ”

Shi Bufan didn't expect that he was actually chased backwards? This is not uncommon in the past, because a dozen master's degrees are enough to blind many people's eyes. However, Shi Bufan is not the kind of person who is so easy to determine, otherwise he would not be thirty years old and unmarried. So even if he is chased backwards, it will not be so easy to agree at that time.

"You must know that even if you sit on my wife, I will not help your Qin family's property to make profits!" Shi Bufan replied.

"I understand that I am not for the Qin family's inheritance, I am for my lifelong happiness. I hope that Shixiao Shulang will give me a chance, after all, the officials of the imperial court have already said that they will give me three months in the end. If I don't work hard, then I will be forcibly assigned to someone else by the government! I think that even though Shixiao Shulang is not interested in me at the moment, I hope to get this opportunity. Three months, I hope that Shixiao Shulang can give us three months to get to know each other, okay? If three months later, if the school scholar is willing, then we can get married. But if Shi Xiaoshulang doesn't like me, then I will accept my fate. Miss Qin said.

At this moment, Shi Bufan suddenly felt that this Miss Qin seemed to belong to the same kind of person as himself, and she would rather lack than abuse in choosing a spouse. Shi Bufan will still be a bachelor at the age of thirty in the next life, that is because he doesn't want to find a random woman and live a lifetime, so he would rather lack than abuse. But Miss Qin is also such a person, as early as a few years ago, she was able to marry when she was fifteen years old, this is an ancient tradition. However, she still delayed for two years, but after two years, if her father had not died, she would have been forcibly assigned to marry. After 27 months of filial piety, he met someone who wanted to use the government to forcibly marry, and then seek their family business through special means. However, she was forced to go on a blind date with Shi Bufan, and was "educated" by Shi Bufan.

But she found that Shi Bufan was a good man and was willing to take the initiative to pursue it. Shi Bufan knew that in ancient times, it was not like the afterlife, and it was okay not to get married. However, in ancient times, especially when the country had just recovered, a large number of people were urgently needed to resume production, and even lowered the legal age of marriage, and a woman who was not married by the age of seventeen had to be forcibly arranged by the government. There was no freedom to do so, but it was inevitable in ancient times, and it had to be done in order to restore the population.

In three months, this Miss Qin will be forcibly assigned to marriage, so she hopes to rely on the last three months to get along with Shi Bufan and see if they can come together. However, although Shi Bufan doesn't have much feeling for this Miss Qin at the moment, he has to have some sympathy. Because ancient women are not like the afterlife, they can pursue their own happiness and pursue the life they want. In ancient times, women were able to meet the man they liked, and the chances of being able to come together were too few, about equal to zero.

As for saying that women in the Tang Dynasty could decide on their own marriage, as Shi Bufan, a master of history, could only shake his head. Because this is completely nonsense, in the Tang Dynasty, it was even stipulated in the form of legislation that parents have absolute power over their children's marriage. Unless the child is not engaged before adulthood, then he can naturally decide for himself. However, if the parents are engaged to their children before they reach adulthood, or if they are engaged to their children before they reach adulthood, then they must also abide by it.

So the so-called freedom of marriage is completely nonsense. Which of the children of those big families has not been decided on their fate since childhood, and then when they grow up, they have been arranged to marry long before they become adults, and some extreme ones have been planned even before they are born, and they are called finger marriages.

So this Miss Qin can have three months to find the man she likes, and she can pursue it as soon as possible, which is also a good situation. Shi Bufan was also suddenly a little unbearable to refuse, after all, it was too rare for an ancient woman, and it was almost impossible. So Shi Bufan couldn't bear to make her desperate.

"Okay, we can be together for three months, let's be considered a trial marriage!" Shi Bufan said.

"Trial marriage?" Miss Qin obviously didn't quite understand.

Shi Bufan hurriedly explained: "Trial marriage means that unmarried couples live together, and they can even sleep together, and what they should have in daily life should be the same as husband and wife." However, except for not really doing that kind of thing together, everything else is the same as husband and wife. After getting along for a period of time, if the person is suitable for both parties, then you can officially go to the formal marriage. ”

"What?" Miss Qin's eyes suddenly glazed over.

When Miss Qin heard Shi Bufan's statement of "trial marriage", she also felt that her eyes were extremely dull, and Miss Qin almost said that Shi Bufan really knew how to play. There is also this kind of play, living together is still called "trial marriage". You must know that even in the open-minded Tang Dynasty, it is almost impossible to accept this kind of thing! During the Tang Dynasty, although the mind was relatively open-minded, many Hu customs were incorporated during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. But I haven't heard of the trial marriage! Although there will be no real relationship between the two parties, after all, they can even have the same room and sleep in the same bed together, isn't this too unacceptable?

So even Miss Qin feels that this is extraordinary, but she is "really good at playing", and the gameplay is something that ordinary people dare not think of. So at this moment, Miss Qin also hesitated whether to agree to this "trial marriage" approach. If you say yes, then I'm afraid it's really impossible to say clearly. In the eyes of others, they are already husband and wife, and they can all rest in the same room, what is not husband and wife? Even if the Tang Dynasty was open, it was impossible to tolerate two unrelated men and women resting in the same room, even if there was no real relationship, it would not be acceptable. Generally, it is between the master and his wife and concubine, or the maid in the same room, so that they are actually candidates for the master's future concubine.

Therefore, Miss Qin also felt very hesitant whether she wanted to agree to Shi Bufan's request for a "trial marriage". And Shi Bufan is also puzzled, is this condition difficult? Shi Bufan has the habit of trying marriage in the Tang Dynasty in his memory, but looking at Miss Qin's situation, it seems that there is no such custom.

However, Shi Bufan did not pay attention to the fact that although there were some places in the Tang Dynasty that had the custom of trial marriage, it was not the whole country. On the contrary, it is mainly the area of the Western Regions, not the traditional area of the Central Plains. After all, Shi Bufan came from later generations, and it is impossible to record everything in detail with the historical materials that he has read. Shi Bufan also made a big mistake, generalizing the historical materials of later generations, thinking that the customs of a certain place were also the customs that could be accepted by the entire Tang Dynasty.

After the crossing, Shi Bufan had never experienced marriage, so naturally he didn't know anything about marriage in the Tang Dynasty. He thought that the ancient Tang Dynasty was open-minded, so he took the initiative to propose this trial marriage plan, but he didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty was not as open as he imagined.

Now Shi Bufan regrets it a little, will he be unacceptable to women in this era by taking the liberty of proposing this trial marriage? Shi Bufan wanted to open his mouth and vetoed this proposal, after all, judging from this situation, it was indeed a bit too presumptuous to propose a trial marriage, and the ancient people were not like later generations. In later generations, there were many people who could not accept trial marriage, and trial marriage was mainly popular among those "white-collar" people, so Shi Bufan thought that the open Tang Dynasty could accept it. But he was wrong, and he didn't expect it to be like this.

Shi Bufan opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to ...... this trial marriage."

"Okay, I agree!" Miss Qin said immediately.

Shi Bufan was a little embarrassed for a while, he had just rashly proposed the idea of trial marriage, and Miss Qin didn't look like he had agreed. But now, when Shi Bufan just wanted to be reluctant, Miss Qin suddenly said yes again. This made Shi Bufan want to say that he wanted to withdraw the conditions for the trial marriage, but it turned out that it was not easy to continue to take it back now, which made Shi Bufan embarrassed.

The most embarrassing thing about Shi Bufan is that this Miss Qin agreed, because if she agreed to the trial marriage, what would be the consequences in this open-minded Tang Dynasty that had not yet imagined? If it is in the future life, trial marriage is even fashionable in some white-collar groups, even if it is not successful, it will not be discriminated against, after all, as long as both parties keep it secret, no one knows that they have tried marriage. Even if it is known, there will be no discrimination among the white-collar workers of the same industry, after all, this has a high level of tolerance in later generations.

But Miss Qin agreed, once the trial marriage was three months later, it would make Shi Bufan feel pressure. If the two parties are not together after three months, what will happen to Miss Qin? At that time, everyone will think that Miss Qin entered Shi Bufan's house, and then was "suspended" again.

In ancient times, there was a so-called "divorce of wife", and the divorced wife could not find a suitable person, and was generally looked down upon. Therefore, Shi Bufan also regretted that he didn't investigate the marriage customs of the Tang Dynasty just now, so he said this trial marriage plan? But Miss Qin also agreed, which made Shi Bufan very embarrassed. If the two parties can't get married at that time, it will be a huge blow to Miss Qin's future marriage, after all, ancient times are not as open and tolerant as later generations, especially for women.

"If it affects her future marriage, then am I not a sinner? It's really a wrong step, and it's useless to say anything now, you can only take one step at a time. Shi Bufan also thought with a headache.

"Then this time will also trouble Miss Qin, I am a nine-grade petty official, the court is not high, and the real estate is not too good, so I have wronged Miss Qin during this time." Shi Bufan said.

However, Miss Qin replied indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I also have some property in Chang'an, and I happen to have a house, I think we can live there." This is my private property, not belonging to the Qin family, it was left to me by my father as a dowry. ”

"......" Shi Bufan was speechless, what is this, so that Shi Bufan has to be speechless.

"It turns out that I'm just a poor Beijing official!" Shi Bufan smiled bitterly.

Shi Bufan found that he was really a poor Beijing official, and he couldn't even afford a decent property in the capital of Chang'an, no wonder it was said that everything in Chang'an was expensive, and it was not easy to live in a big place! Now, he still wants to live in his fiancée's property? It's really difficult to be a Beijing official, and it's even more difficult to be a poor Beijing official!
