Chapter 31: Live for Yourself
In the middle of the night, Shi Bufan and Miss Qin were lying on the bed disheveled, and the air was filled with a special smell, obviously the two of them had done that kind of thing just now.
"Miss Qin, you pushed me backwards just now!" Shi Bufan smiled bitterly.
Shi Bufan didn't expect that he would be pushed backwards, which was really speechless. Although he knew that women in the Tang Dynasty were open, he didn't expect that they would be open to this point, and they could actually reverse men in turn, which really surprised him. And Shi Bufan didn't expect that he would be pushed backwards, which made him a little unacceptable even for a man from the next generation, so he now sighed. As for Miss Qin, she is also lying next to her now, as if she is enjoying the afterglow of experiencing the most important sharp change in a woman's life.
Miss Qin asked rhetorically: "Shi Xiaoshulang, it seems that you are very familiar with this kind of thing, and you seem to be familiar with it just now." Although I was still a little flustered at first, but then you were giving me ......."
Shi Bufan smiled, because although he had never touched a woman on this body, he had a lot of experience in his previous life. You know, in the 21st century, especially between those open-minded senior white-collar workers, marriage and relationships between men and women are completely different things. In later generations, not to mention him, an adult teacher, and even many college students have had a relationship before marriage, so Shi Bufan is no stranger to this kind of thing, but has experience. At first, Miss Qin just took the initiative with a courage, but later after all, she had no experience, so she was naturally occupied by Shi Bufan.
However, Shi Bufan immediately asked: "Why are you doing this?" ”
"Because I don't seem to be interested in me much, but you just treat me as a female Qingke, and I'm not reconciled, that's why I'm like this!" Miss Qin said.
"Female Qingke?" Shi Bufan was speechless.
Shi Bufan probably understood the meaning of this "Qingke", Qingke was some literati raised by some rich and noble families in ancient times, generally those who did not have a smooth career, or were born in a poor family, they created some literary works for those rich and noble families to meet the needs of those rich and noble people. Of course, there is a difference between Qingke and Qingke, and the Qingke of ordinary merchants' families is just a rich businessman's vassal elegance, which is not of great significance. And if it is the emperor's Qingke, it is not ordinary. Sima Xiangru during the Han Dynasty at that time, and even Dongfang Shuo was in fact a Qing guest of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Those who say it is good are literary attendants, and those who say it is not good are literary courtiers.
In the past two months, Shi Bufan has regarded Miss Qin more as a fun in life, of course, this interest is not the other interest, it is the real interest in life. They talk more about the elegance of life, and as for this trial marriage, they don't really talk much about marriage. didn't even share a bed once, and Shi Bufan may think of Miss Qin more as a person who can resonate with literature and some philosophy and economics in his heart.
Because Shi Bufan was a rare person in ancient times who could really resonate enough in literature, philosophy and economics, and although Miss Qin was born in a businessman, she had also read since she was a child due to economic conditions, so she was naturally able to resonate with literature and philosophy. When it comes to running a business, I naturally accumulate a lot of experience, so I can talk about economics with the times.
In the past two months, Shi Bufan has regarded Miss Qin more as an academic friend, and has long forgotten the so-called marriage and sex, so Shi Bufan has initially forgotten the request for a trial marriage, and is more of an academic discussion. Originally, Shi Bufan thought that it would continue like this, but the women were unwilling, but they didn't want to be this kind of academic friend all the time, but wanted to go further, so they took the initiative to push it back.
"I'm not willing to be your lady, that's why I'm like this." Miss Qin said.
Shi Bufan then asked helplessly: "What are you going to do next?" ”
"Then it depends on what you're going to do, okay?" Miss Qin asked with a smile.
Shi Bufan pondered for a moment, and then finally said, "I think, we can consider getting married!" ”
"Married?" Miss Qin was suddenly a little surprised, Shi Bufan's promise was too smooth, right?
After this period of time, Miss Qin knew that Shi Bufan was a man who had high requirements for his spouse, not the kind of man who was willing to marry casually. But it's so strange that I agreed to get married so easily.
"I kind of understand that maybe the perfect woman I was looking for didn't exist. In this world, I was too much to strive for perfection, so I was ...... Forget it, there is nothing absolutely perfect in this world, and perhaps it is precisely because of imperfection that this world is full of characteristics. If it's too perfect, maybe it's not real. Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan seems to have finally realized that there is nothing absolutely perfect in this world, including women. If a woman is absolutely "perfect", what is the standard of "perfection"? Maybe there doesn't seem to be an accurate standard, maybe the woman who finally makes everyone think "perfect" may be the most mediocre one. Because every man's aesthetic is also different, if everyone agrees that "perfect", it may be the most mediocre woman, because only when there is no feature at all, can everyone accept it. And if there is no feature, then it will completely lose the qualification to be called a beauty.
All kinds of beauties have their own characteristics, and some men like these characteristics, and some men don't. But only if it has its own characteristics, will men like it. If a woman has no "characteristics" of her own, then she is probably the most mediocre.
Before crossing back then, Shi Bufan was too idealistic, so he didn't find a suitable one in his thirties. Since after the crossing, there is no need to be so demanding, it is useless to be demanding, as long as you can see it initially and there is no contradiction, you can get married together.
After listening to this, Miss Qin also nodded silently, neither showing too much excitement nor showing anything else, anyway, it was flat.
However, when Shi Bufan saw Miss Qin, he immediately asked, "Miss Qin, I don't know your name yet!" I can't even know my future wife's name, can I? ”
Shi Bufan is also funny when he talks about it, if it is in the future life, maybe this situation may happen. It's like those white-collar workers who are too stressed on weekdays go to the bar at night, and then they all have a relationship after they meet, and then they still do their own things when they get up the next day, and they don't interact with each other in the future, so it's not surprising that they don't know their names. But in ancient times, it was different, in ancient times etiquette and morality were not allowed, and it was almost not allowed to have a relationship before getting married. So it's usually after marriage, and after marriage, the husband must know his wife's name.
In the past two months, Shi Bufan has not asked, because the ancient wedding link is also a "name ask", the man asks the other party's name, and only then does he know the woman's name.
"My name is Jiarui!" Miss Qin replied that her name was Qin Jiarui.
Shi Bufan then asked, "Miss Jiarui, what are you going to do next?" Do you continue to take care of the Qin family's business? ”
"Do you allow it?" Qin Jiarui asked curiously.
Shi Bufan thought about it, and finally replied: "Decide for yourself, I won't decide for you!" But if you want to continue to take care of the Qin family's business, I won't use my power to help you, understand? ”
Qin Jiarui nodded, and then said: "That's it, I'll take care of it for a few years first, and when I find someone I can trust later, then I can entrust him to him, and then come to be your wife with peace of mind, and I won't go out to care about any business from now on." ”
"Well, you don't have to. Anyway, there is Uncle Fu in charge of the family, and there is not one more of you! If you want to go into business, I'm not reluctant! But I advise you not to do this kind of thing of making wedding dresses for others, and you should also live for yourself. You don't have to pay too much for this Qin family's family business, because these don't belong to you, you might as well take the initiative to do something for yourself. Otherwise, would your life be meaningful? It's all for someone else! Shi Bufan said.
"What do you mean?" Miss Qin asked.
Shi Bufan replied: "You embezzle some of the funds from the Qin family's industry, and then go to take care of the business yourself, and then change it back when the business is up." And these new industries are your own, especially now that we are not officially married, so it can be more convenient. If we get married in the future, according to the laws of Datang, it will be a little troublesome. Arrange the industry first, so that the established facts will be created in the future, and the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to do anything to us. ”
Shi Bufan's idea is to let Qin Jiarui take part of the working capital from the Qin family's industry for misappropriation, and then let Miss Qin start her own industry, and in the end, those industries are also Miss Qin's own. It has nothing to do with the Qin family's past industry, as long as the misappropriated funds are returned to them at that time, it will be a borrowing of chickens and eggs.
In addition, the laws of the Tang Dynasty forbade officials and their relatives to do business, although there have been absolutely many cases of officials doing business since ancient times, but most of them were doing business in secret. If they don't do business and don't seek some profits, then how can they feed their families just by relying on those who can't eat enough and don't starve to death. Of course, if it's just your own family, it doesn't matter, but it's very rich. But many officials are not so simple, what servants, maids, a lot of concubines and little wives, those are all dependent on him, just rely on that little money, how can it be enough!
Therefore, many officials secretly also operate some industries, which is an open secret, and the difference is the size of the industry.
However, the time is not an ordinary official and a small position, so it is naturally impossible to do business so swaggeringly, once he dares to do business, then I am afraid that the documents impeaching him will come out, and those imperial historians who seem to be sore will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
As a master of law and a master of laws who has passed the bar exam, Shi Bufan is a master of exploiting legal loopholes. He asked Miss Qin to buy the property first, and then created an established fact, and then they got married again, so that these properties also became Miss Qin's "dowry". Could it be that Datang's law still requires the abandonment of property after marriage? This is unreasonable, after all, the protection of private property should have been in the feudal period. Private ownership is the basic economic system of the feudal dynasty, and it is also the most fundamental thing. Therefore, it is not possible to give up private property just because you are married, and marriage is not a reason to give up private property. Therefore, of course, Shi Bufan did this directly, circumventing these laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, and then he could put the property in his pocket in a grand manner. Well, although it is in the hands of his wife, aren't they all the same thing? The difference between the left hand and the right hand is just that.
"But......" Qin Jiarui was obviously a little worried about this misappropriation of funds.
"You don't have to worry about anything, these are all things you should get, not to mention that you didn't take them directly. A few years after your father's death, shouldn't you have gained something by running the property without regrets? Hmph, they're all too eccentric, aren't they? Is it fair to just leave the inheritance to your son and grandson, and your daughter doesn't get it at all? After giving so much, it is simply unreasonable to get nothing in the end. So, you're doing it now, not too much. It's not that they won't be returned anyway, so it's better to embezzle the funds. Shi Bufan said.
Of course, Shi Bufan was not very satisfied with the fact that the Qin family gave all the property to the male offspring, and Qin Jiarui worked hard to maintain it for a few years, and even went further instead of declining, shouldn't he give a part of the compensation? When doing so, it is considered unfair to the unusual, and those who have merit are not only not allowed to do so, but must be sacrificed. And those who don't have credit sit back and enjoy it, because of their gender factor. Shi Bufan doesn't have such a serious patriarchal mentality, so he can't avoid complaining about Qin Jiarui. So he planned to let Qin Jiarui embezzle part of the funds to run his own industry, and when Qin Jiarui married him, those properties would also be surnamed "Shi". Anyway, she didn't transfer it directly from the Qin family's property, she just embezzled the funds, and it wasn't that she didn't pay them back, so there was no problem.
"Miss Jiarui, I think you better live for yourself, don't think too much. You dare to push me back like this today, isn't it for yourself? Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.
Qin Jiarui thought for a while and said, "Okay, I can live for myself in the future, I don't care about the Qin family's affairs." You also said that people live for themselves, and if they all live for others, is that life meaningful? ”
Shi Bufan looked at the sky, and then found that it was quite dark, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, then let's do it again!" ”
"Ahh
But she didn't know that Shi Bufan hadn't touched a woman in the past few months, and now that he finally had the opportunity to release it, how could she let it go?
