Chapter 158: Marriage Contract
Zheng Ji waved Yun Niang to step back, and then said to his son: "Da Lang, you have to come forward to talk to Yan'er about this matter, after all, she has already made a marriage contract with Cui's family." As for the stakes, with Yan'er's intelligence, she will not fail to see it. She understands that our hard work is the best, and if not, you have to harden your heart to make her focus on the big things. β
Zheng Ningji got his father's teachings, immediately bowed his head and promised, and then retreated to the backyard, he had to discuss this matter with his wife. He is a father, and this kind of thing is not easy to say, but it is better for Mrs. to speak.
When they arrived in the backyard, her wife Lu Qi was chanting Buddha, and she was the daughter of the Lu family in Hedong. "Five surnames and seven families" intermarried each other, among which the Lu family and the Zheng family are in-laws for many years.
The husband and wife have been married for more than 20 years and live very harmoniously. In addition to giving birth to Zheng Yan, Mrs. Lu also gave birth to two sons, both of whom are now adults, and things in Beijing are very cumbersome, so Zheng Ningji did not let her two sons follow, and let them review the scriptures in their hometown, so that they can participate in the imperial examination and glorify the lintel.
Zheng Ningji came to the living room, and when Mrs. Zheng saw that her husband was back, she immediately put down the scroll in her hand, came to her husband's side, poured him a cup of tea, and then asked: "What's wrong with my husband, I seem to have something on my mind, but because someone in the court has impeached Ah Lang?" β
Zheng Ningji looked at his wife, smiled, took his wife's jade hand and said, "Qiqi don't be careful, my father is fine." It's a matter of annoyance. She β« β« styleβ« literature and β« studies, c@fwx......"
Hearing Lang Jun still call her when she was young, her face turned red, and she spat lightly at her husband, "Oh, Yan'er's matter, what's wrong with Yan'er?" β
Zheng Ningji immediately told his wife about today's visit from King Ji Li Bao and Yan'er to meet him, and then told his wife everything Yun Niang had narrated.
Mrs. Zheng sighed in her heart after hearing this, the so-called "knowing daughter Mo Ruo's mother", her mother's temperament is the best she knows. Since Yan'er has decided on one thing, no matter how much she persuades her, she can't persuade her back.
But the daughter and the Cui family have already been married, how can this Yan'er still get along with King Naji?
Mrs. Zheng was very puzzled, but she had to do this matter, after all, this marriage with the Cui family was a big plan for the Zheng family and the Cui family to form an alliance. Although she is a daughter of the Lu family, after marrying into her husband's family, everything must be done with her husband's family first.
Mrs. Zheng said to her husband: "The concubine will advise Yan'er well in this matter, husband, don't worry." β
Zheng Ningji held his wife's jade hand tightly and said, "Then there is Lao Xian's wife." β

The following are fake.
In the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was often referred to as "saint", and those close to him or his close attendants were called "everyone", and interestingly, in the Tang Dynasty, women also called their mother-in-law "everyone". As for the Fengliu Tianzi like Emperor Tang Ming, those close to him call him "San Lang", and call Concubine Taizhen "Niangzi"; As for the crown prince, he is often called "Langjun" by the people on the left and right; The prince is crowned king, and he is called "the king" left and right, and the princess is called "the noble lord", for example, in Xue Yongweak's "Yulun Pao Biography", "King Qi said: 'Inherit the noble lord to bring wine and pleasure and feast when he goes out'".
Princes, kings sometimes call themselves "widows", this title is more common, talk about a few examples, "Sui and Tang Jiahua" volume has a record of Taizong for the king of Qin when he and the Huguo Duke Chi Jingde dialogue, the king of Qin said: "The widow holds a bow and arrow, the public spear is a pair, although millions of people are helpless I am", and in the "Old Tang Book, Yongwang Biography" Yongwang said: "The widow is the emperor's heavenly belonging, and the emperor is a friend"; The Guogong calls itself "Lonely", which can be seen in the speech of Li Yuan, who was the Duke of Tang at the time, in the "Notes on the Entrepreneurship and Living of the Tang Dynasty". For example, in the summer of the year when the army was raised, in the fifth month of Jiazidan, Tang Guogong said to everyone: "If you are a thief today, ten rooms and nine, you will be called the king of the emperor, and the city will be based on the county." Emperor Guhe Wen is very favored, thinks of repaying kindness, and wants to make meritorious contributions to the royal family with all sages".
In the Tang Dynasty, slaves called the male master "Ah Lang" or "Lang", etc.; and called the young master "Lang Jun"; Calling both the housewife and the lady "lady". However, "Niangzi" and "Langjun" are not only used by slaves to call their masters, others also call them "Niangzi" when they see women, and there are also people who call them "little ladies" when they see young women; Older people will also call young people "Lang" or "Lang Jun", as described in a poem by Li Bai: An old man asked Li Bai, "What does Lang want to cross today"? Then he told him that "such a storm is not feasible".
In addition, when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty called his aunt and other female dependents, he would also call them "aunt" and "sister" like the folk, for example, in the "Li Deyu Complete Works School Notes", Li Deyu wrote the "Edict of Princess Taihe" for Tang Wuzong...... If you want to see the city of the old country, can you not **, and if you want the Han Dynasty to be in charge, you must be ...... runny".
When the emperor calls his uncle and brother, he often puts the title on the title, for example, the third volume of the "Chaoye Juan" has: Teng Wang Ying, Jiang Wang Yun can not be honest and prudent, the emperor (Gaozong Ji Shuike Note) gave the kings, the name of the five kings, less than the two kings, and said: "Uncle Teng and Brother Jiang solve their own economy, and they don't work to give things with them." "Youyang Miscellaneous" Volume 12: Shang (Ming Emperor Ji Shuike's Note) knew it, laughed, and reported to King Ning: "Brother Ning can deal with this monk." Another example, in "Because of the Words", it is contained: King Ning squirted a mouthful of rice on the throne, and it reached the dragon's face. Shang said: "Why did Brother Ning have the wrong throat." β
The emperor called his sons and nephews, and often added his title to call him, for example, Yuan Zhenzhi's "Lianchang Palace Ci" self-annotated with clouds: Nian Nu, Tianbao in the name of advocacy, good songs. Every year downstairs feasts, after a tiring day, there is a lot of noise. Yan Anzhi and Wei Huangshang couldn't help it, and everyone played for it. The Ming Emperor sent Gao Lishi to shout upstairs and said: "If you want to send Nian Nu to sing, you will play the pipes to see if people can listen to them"? The twenty-five Lang of Sui, the son of Prince Zhang Huai, the son of King Shouli, the heir of King Cheng Ning, and the nephew of Emperor Ming.
In the Tang Dynasty, familiar men were mostly called by their surnames and their lines, for example, Bai Juyi called Yuan Zhen "Yuan Jiu", and Tang Dezong once called Lu Zhen "Lu Jiu"; And to call a woman by adding "Niang" to her surname, for example: "Gongsun Auntie", "Li Twelve Niang" and so on. And "Xiao Lang" and "Xiao Niang", as common pronouns, have long been well-known to everyone.
In addition, not only "Lang" is mentioned, but two other titles must also be mentioned: at that time, women called her husband's younger brother "Xiaolang"; And the son-in-law is also called "Langzi", just like in "The Legend of Wushuang", the Wushuang family has nicknamed Wang Xianke "Wang Langzi" since he was a child.
At that time, when women were called, the word "A" was often added before the woman's surname, for example, in "Qi Tui Nu" (the author Niu Seng Ru), there were: "Yuan Hezhong, Raozhou Thorn Shi Qi Tui Nu, suitable for Li in Longxi." β¦β¦ Mr. Criticism, not subdued. It is ordered to pursue the will of Azi". Between husband and wife, the husband can also call his wife like this, which is also passed down from ancient times, for example, it is recorded in "Youyang Miscellaneous" that after Wei Weiying's death, his wife Liang married to Ziji. On the wedding day, Ying returned to the court and shouted: "Ah Liang, Qing forgets me"?
