Chapter 44 Full of Chinese Names
Of course, the main reason why Yun Yao chose Gu Lin was because of Gu Badai, Gu Badai deserved to be a famous minister in the later history books, and now he has begun to leak his edge, Yun Yao has also heard Tuhai's praise for him from his uncle Tu Hai. Gu Badai, as one of the few people in the Manchu who knows about literary affairs, Tu Hai has a lot of praise for Gu Badai. Gu Badai was still in the shadow at this time, and he had the rank of captain of the three-grade light car.
In this way, the two can be regarded as a good match. It's just that Gu Lin has no father or mother, and in some exquisite people's homes, there are some taboos.
In ancient times, there were still five non-marriages, that is, widows and eldest daughters were not taken, and there were no religious precepts. If there is a bad disease in the world, it will not be taken, and it will be abandoned in the sky. There are people in the world who are punished, and those who are not taken are forsaken. Messy girls don't take it. Class is not correct also. If you don't take it, you will be wasted.
And Gu Lin is both parents died, so she doesn't meet the criteria for choosing a wife. And Gu Lin is unlikely to enter the palace because of this, Kangxi is deeply influenced by Sinology, and as an emperor, if his parents die like Gu Lin, the world says that her life is hard and amiable, and it is unlikely that she will be elected to the emperor's side.
It's just that Gu Lin's own virtue greatly makes up for the shortcomings of her own family background. Yun Yao also felt that she might be a good match for her brother. Ama Wu Lu is unlikely to object, because Wu Lu himself also admires Gu Badai, as the head of the family, he pays more attention to whether this family business can bring benefits to Niu Hulu's family, and Gu Badai, as an in-law, can not hold back, plus it is best to help his in-laws.
Among the Manchurian aristocracy, the major families married into alliances with each other. Therefore, if you don't choose your in-laws well, not only will you not be able to help yourself in the future, but you will also be burdened by the family. Although Gu Badai's official position is not high, he is proficient in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, and is very knowledgeable, and later served as Yongzheng's teacher. In the current situation of the lack of Manchu Chinese, the future of Gu Badai is visible to the naked eye.
It's just that Yun Yao is worried about the attitude of Eniang Ma Jia's family. Yun Yao is not worried that Ma Jia's family will look down on Gu Lin's family background, when Ma Jia's marriage to Wu Lu is considered a low marriage, all she cares about is whether it is suitable for Ling Tai, and Ling Tai's daughter-in-law, as the eldest sister-in-law, must also find a gentle temperament. There is also a question of whether Ma Jia's family likes Gu Lin, after all, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been delicate since ancient times, if Ma Jia's family doesn't like Gu Lin from the beginning, then it will only increase the trouble.
The more Yun Yao thought about it, the farther she felt, only to feel that her thoughts had many loopholes. However, Yun Yao didn't force it, after all, it was just a whim.
Yun Yao let go of her thoughts and concentrated on talking to Gu Lin.
The two were a little silent when they talked about the election in the palace, they both knew that their fate was in the hands of the harem master, and in half a month, the real test would come.
Yun Yao couldn't see that the atmosphere was so dull, so she changed the topic, "Sister Biyu and Sister Xiangning seem to be very good recently?" Yun Yao saw that not far away, Guo Luoluo Biyu and Niu Hulu Xiangning were talking in a whisper, very intimately.
Seeing Yun Yao change the topic, Gu Lin hurriedly turned her thoughts. I heard that Yun Yao still called Guo Luoluo Jasper's original name, not Yulu Jue. A little funny, he tapped Yun Yao's forehead and said, "You little girl has a grudge, it's just a gossip, and you remember it for so long." Until now, you are the only one who calls her by her Chinese name in front of her. ”
Gu Lin said this for a reason, because of the uproar about Guo Luoluo Biyu's name change, Guo Luoluo Biyu actually thought of a very shady way. When she saw a show girl, she asked about the name, especially Yun Yao, who was obviously a Han name, was the hardest hit area.
Guo Luoluo Biyu made such a big fuss, obviously trying to find more people to obtain a Han name rather than a full name. In this way, Jasper's name is not so obvious, and it also provokes the empress dowager's dissatisfaction with them who take Han names. However, Guo Luoluo Biyu's action made the entire Chuxiu Palace jump, and many people who took Han names in the Manchurian Flag Show Girl told them their full names, but I don't know if it's true or not.
In fact, Yun Yao said that the Empress Dowager is also a strange woman, she knows history books to assist in the government, how can she be angry with others because of her name. At most, it's because Concubine Dong E dislikes her kind of woman. And now Kangxi is committed to appeasing Han Chen, and the Empress Dowager has also been in contact with the government for many years, how can she openly and openly fight against the names of the show girls as Han names! If she came forward, she would openly express her dissatisfaction with Hanchen, especially now that the three feudatories were about to move, how could the empress dowager appeal to others.
The show girls in the Han military banner account for the majority, even if not all the Han military banners are Han Chinese, such as the Guerjia clan who has now changed his surname to Shi, this Guerjia clan has some kinship with Aobai, but in the case that most of the eight banners are related, the Shi family did not hurt their muscles and bones when Aobai fell, and he is the future princess of Kangxi Prince Yinren Guerjia is from this branch.
It can be said that many Eight Banner nobles who have deep contact with the Han people have changed their surnames to Han surnames. There are also many Manchurian families who moved to Guannai in the former Ming Dynasty, and they changed their names to Chinese names, such as the Tong Jia clan mentioned earlier, which can be said to abound. Therefore, there are a lot of people who have been sinicized in the Eight Banners.,If you pursue it.,A large number of people can't escape.,And it's not a crime.。
Therefore, Yun Yao felt that Guo Luoluo Biyu's actions this time might offend a large number of Sinicized families, but she couldn't say that she could please the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager would not take these things to heart on the surface considering the overall situation, but I don't know what the Empress Dowager thinks in her heart.
You must know that the Empress Dowager is also a woman, and most women are cautious, especially in this kind of thing she doesn't like, she is probably quite happy that someone can please him. Even if the matter of Guo Luoluo Jasper seems particularly ridiculous, most of the people in power value not ability, but loyalty. It is impossible to say that the Empress Dowager looked at Guo Luoluo Biyu differently as soon as she was happy.
In fact, this method is not something that no one has thought of, but the disadvantages are too great, and only Guo Luoluo Biyu, who is about to be forced to a dead end by his mother and sister, will use this method. Someone also said that since there are other people who are also like Guo Luoluo Biyu, why is she the only one who is so flustered. One, no matter how merciful the superior is to the offense of the subordinates, it cannot change that the superior controls the fate of the lower, how can the inferior hope for the benevolence of the superior! The second is that Guo Luoluo Biyu is determined to enter the palace, since he has entered the palace, he must not provoke the anger of the people in charge, otherwise it will be a typical death.
However, Yun Yao is not afraid of this kind of thing, because subordinates with higher status are still privileged, first, because Tuhai himself appeared in the image of Wenchen, what is strange about him choosing a Chinese name for his niece, and secondly, the names of nobles in the Qing Dynasty in the future gradually cater to Sinology, which can be seen when Kangxi chooses the name of his heir.
