Chapter 628: Talking about wine at night
The early lights in the hall shone on the jade-like face of the woman with her hair pulled low.
Reflecting the burning candlelight, the eyes no longer seemed to be as cold as usual, with obvious doubts, from the sumptuous dining table in front of him, to the man sitting at the next table, he had also changed out of the big-sleeved brocade he wore when he went out, and even the jacket was removed, and he only wore a round neck and tight-sleeved single shirt, thin silk texture, without a trace of variegated black, showing wide shoulders and tight waist, but in this cold season, such clothing is obviously a little out of place.
Well, Shi Niang admitted that she was not surprised by the clothes of His Royal Highness King Jin - I had heard Jiang Yu specially remind him that His Royal Highness was healthy and healthy from ordinary people, not afraid of cold and afraid of heat, although there was no floor heating in this hall, but because there was a charcoal tripod not far away, such warmth was only suitable for ordinary people like Shi Niang minus a thick one, but for King Jin, it may be too hot.
She was surprised by the posture of His Highness as if he really wanted to talk to her about wine.
If the pretense of warmth in the car is just to confuse the ears and eyes, now that he has returned to the Jin Palace, the princess's residence is very "safe", and there is no need to pretend.
So is Your Highness really going to "stagger" with her?
"According to Aunt Yingyang, the princess is very good about the things in this cup, and there are thousands of cups without getting drunk?" Between the slender fingers, he was playing with a green jade cup, the wine in the cup had been drunk cleanly, He Ye rested one arm on his erected knee, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he squinted at a glass full of wine in front of Eleven Niang.
It seems that Auntie's training today is very serious, and Your Highness is really depressed.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel a little apologetic, just because from the beginning to the present, He Ye has been quite kind to her, but her relatives and elders are extremely protective of her shortcomings, especially Young Eunuch Liu and Yingyang Zhenren, they all think that He Ye is not a good person, and sooner or later she will be wronged.
So he raised his glass, covered it with his sleeve a little, and drank it all with pleasure.
"This wine is good, is it Yingzhou rich water?"
He Ye originally used these words as his opening remarks, but now it was really a little strange: "The princess is so powerful." ”
Shouted Jiang Yu in at the top of his voice, pretending to give instructions mysteriously close to his ear, Jiang Yu nodded and went out.
Before long, Binu and Ah Lu saw a few little eunuchs bring seven or eight jars of wine, and the two maidservants became excited.
Pulled Jiang Yu aside, and asked one after another-
"Your Highness and the princess are having a good conversation?"
"With good food and wine, shouldn't it be another talk about governance?"
"Has Your Highness ever had a drink with a woman in the past?"
"Yikes! Does His Royal Highness want to get the princess drunk? Ah Lu covered his mouth, his eyes full of smiles.
"The princess doesn't drink much, and Her Royal Highness may not be able to compare." Binu seemed to think that King Jin's method would not work.
Jiang Yu was also full of spring breeze: "Your Highness ordered me to send seven or eight kinds of wine, of course, to drink with the princess, His Royal Highness has not never drunk with women, but it is all for the sake of making a scene, originally I didn't have this preference, just say that Qin Ruren, how long has he been in the house, and he doesn't have this honor, at this time, His Royal Highness doesn't need to hide people's eyes and ears, it seems that he is a real wine confidant!" ”
The three people outside the hall were excited, and His Royal Highness King Jin in the hall widened his eyes, and then he really believed that the princess not only had a large number of wines, but also knew a lot about all kinds of fine wines.
On a whim, the two of them really staggered and drank well.
Drinking and drinking, Eleven Niang is no longer restrained, and changes to kneeling to knees, although the complexion remains the same, the cherry lips are a touch of gorgeousness, a pair of eyes are also burning and shining, the topic has wandered thousands of miles, I don't know why I talked about Xie Ying's "founding" angle, praising this gameplay is indeed novel, safer than bowing, and suitable for women to play.
His Royal Highness the King of Jin was still not interested in this gentle game, just because Shi Niang suddenly mentioned Xie Ying, which reminded him of one thing: "The princess is well-read, have you ever seen such a big country recorded in ancient books, saying that it is overseas, the rule of law is the country, even the emperor is bound by the law, if someone breaks the law, the emperor cannot directly convict the guilty, let alone put the innocent to death, if the person commits a capital crime, the emperor cannot pardon, the law of this country pays attention to the equality of all beings, the small people offend the emperor is not a violation of the law, men can not take concubines, and marriage can be determined by men and women, There is no need for the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, nor the words of slaves and maids, nor the hierarchy of dignity and inferiority? ”
Eleven Niang's eyebrows jumped, realizing that what Xie Ying said should be the rules of the era in which she was originally lived, but of course she couldn't say it directly: "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I have never seen such a record." ”
"I'll just say, it must be Xie Liuniang's mouth, she said that I am still very interested in the rule of law, but she just said a word, I saw that she called slaves and maids to the most respectful and humble people, should not approve of the equality of all beings, but very much respect that men can not take concubines, especially the autonomy of marriage, it seems to imply that the king can disobey the queen mother's will, insist on marrying her as a concubine, and refuse to take a concubine."
Eleven Niang: ......
Marriage autonomy is indeed a bit "terrifying", from ancient times to the present, this matter has to pay attention to the order of parents, even the respect of the ninety-five, above the etiquette law, will be somewhat restricted, although the concubines can be chosen independently, the vast majority of them can not do as they want when canonizing the queen, eleven Niang really can't imagine that Xie Ying is in the era, marriage can be independent by men and women, but it is a very happy thing that men can not take concubines.
"I asked Xie Shi at that time, if there is really such a thing, if the man is chaotic and abandons, if he wants to divorce his wife, wouldn't he no longer have to find the excuse of 'seven outs', whether the woman is mourning for Aunt Weng, whether she is married and has no place to go, whether she is poor and rich in the past, since she pays attention to autonomy, she only needs to empathize with others, wouldn't she be able to reconcile?" He Ye seemed to have seriously thought about this question: "Why do I think that this is not equality between men and women, as if women are even more insecure?" ”
Eleven Niang thought so: "It's like Yuan Dezhi, marrying a woman when he was cold, and he was also a good match, and later became prominent, he was disgusted with the wife of the chaff, but even if he had the idea of spoiling the concubine and destroying his wife, since he had entered the aristocratic class, he always cared about the system of this class, and did not dare to divorce his wife and straighten the favored concubine. ”
If the aristocracy all obeys the autonomy of marriage, the matter of spoiling concubines and killing wives will inevitably emerge in endlessly, and Yuan Dezhi will not be condemned for disabling Yuan's wife after he is revealed, so what other scruples does he need? His wife is not from a noble background, and if she is abandoned, it will be difficult to even guarantee her survival, let alone enjoy the benefits of independent marriage.
"I doubt that even if the law of etiquette strictly prohibits men from taking concubines, can men really do it? Just like now, the etiquette law prohibits the marriage of the noble and the low, and there are not many men who have maids and exclusive favors? It's just that it's not so public, but it can't be completely banned. He Ye shook his head again and again, but suddenly raised his eyebrows again: "It's my Aye, if Da Zhou respects that men are not allowed to take concubines, no matter how the eldest mother persecutes, as long as Aya moves out of the law, he can clearly refuse to take concubines, then there will be no such thing as Empress Dowager Wei's dictatorship." ”
This is not easy to accept, if Emperor Dezong does not accept the harem, and Queen Cui has no heirs, then who will inherit the throne? King Shu, or He Qi?
She is now very interested in whether the rule of law can really be implemented, and she doesn't know what the situation will be in the era thousands of years later, but it doesn't seem to work at the moment - for example, women, the etiquette law has always emphasized that women must be loyal, and even the open customs of the Great Zhou, in fact, there are several generations of emperors who respect those so-called "martyrs", and indeed some women have also affected some women, but most women still "do whatever they want", even women from civilian backgrounds, remarriage is commonplace, and most of them will not observe festivals.
Women are tolerated, let alone men.
Etiquette is above the law, many laws are empty for the people, not to mention ordinary people, even the scholars, most of them know the etiquette but do not know the law, and what cannot be surpassed is not the law, but the courtesy of humility, which seems to be the fundamental reason for the "lowliness" of the lawyers.
However, it is precisely because the law cannot be strictly implemented that the official system is corrupted and corruption is rampant.
This is indeed a question worth pondering.
Eleven Niang was thinking about it, and Leng Buding listened to He Ye's emotion: "If the marriage could really be autonomous, Xuanzhi would not have ended up so miserable." ”
Kindness? What's the matter???
