Before dawn, Gao Shishi, who was accustomed to getting up early, was obviously still very sleepy, but he still opened his eyes on time at the insistence of the biological clock, sat up with difficulty, touched his body to his side, and suddenly turned his head sharply, and the whole person was awake.

Huang Zhiting is not there.

Gao Pragmatic hurriedly lifted the thin brocade quilt, and there was really no one inside.

"Hey, you're up? I'm going to call you later, there's no Hajj today, right? ”

Gao Shi followed the prestige, but saw that Huang Zhiting was already dressed and was putting on some makeup in front of the special Western-style dresser in the white jade building, and turned his head slightly to talk to him at this time.

"It's no surprise that I wake up early, since I was five years old, I've been asked to get up so early to study. Later, when I became an official, I either went to court early or was on duty, and I couldn't be lazy. Later, although it was not so strict, it had already developed a habit, and it would wake up naturally at this time. It's you...... Don't get more sleep? ”

Huang Zhiting's face was slightly red, turned around and pretended to continue to tidy up her makeup, and replied: "I want to worship the temple today, and someone will come to urge me as soon as it dawns later." This is a big deal, my father told me so many times the other day that I hardly dared to sleep last night......"

"I don't have much time to sleep anyway." Gao Pragmatic lifted the brocade quilt and prepared to get out of bed, and said in his mouth: "After worshipping the temple and seeing your relatives later, you have to accept the congratulations of a large group of people, and some of them are busy...... I'll have to ask Gao Mo in a while to see if there's any coffee from the Portuguese who came to Haojing last time, and I might have to drink some today. ”

When Huang Zhiting saw him get up, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand, walked over quickly, and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Gao Pragmatic was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Want to wait for your husband to change clothes?" ”

Huang Zhiting gave him a blank look and said, "It's just today." ”

"Why? What about later? ”

"Of course, only today is special, there are so many maids in your house, aren't there any waiting to change clothes?" Huang Zhiting picked up Gao Pragmatic's regular clothes and began to change his clothes, while saying, "Oh, by the way, you didn't have a room girl before, did you?" ”

"My mother originally arranged it, but I didn't agree."

"Now that you have - I have two dowry maids, you can find a time to take them."

When Huang Zhiting said this, her tone was very ordinary, as if she was talking about what breakfast was arranged this morning.

Gao asked in surprise: "Whose decision is this?" ”

When he asked this, Huang Zhiting was also surprised, the hand that dressed him stopped, looked at him and said, "Our servants are like this, if we don't even have a dowry maid, it will be very embarrassing." According to the rules of our side, there are either two or four maids to dowry...... If you think two are not enough, I can pick two more, but I only cultivated these two around me, and if I add them temporarily, it may not be as good as the two of them. ”

Gao pragmatic hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need, I don't think you need either of these." ”

"How could it not be?" Huang Zhiting tilted her head slightly and looked at him. Suddenly smiled: "I know what you're thinking, but that's not the point. According to the rules of our servants, even if the dowry maid becomes a concubine, she is still my property, but not yours, if I am unhappy, they ...... Hee-hee, anyway, you can use them as my stand-ins, in my ...... Replace me when it's inconvenient. ”

Gao Shi looked at her carefully for a while with interest, shook his head and said, "I really can't understand your thoughts. ”

Huang Zhiting said curiously: "What can't be understood? ”

Gao pragmatic thought for a while and said, "I heard that this time Na Lixuan was defeated by the joint efforts of you and Miss Liu Xin?" Then you must have met her, right? ”

Of course I saw it, she dressed up as a man and escorted Liu Zhongcheng south to Donghu with the Descendant Yiding. However, her makeup is not very expressive, she has not even dealt with the Adam's apple, and I don't think she has received special training, so she is easy to show her stuff in terms of expression and movements. ”

Gao Pragmatic didn't dwell on this, but said: "You just said to Miss Liu about the idea of marrying a maid, she will definitely oppose it." ”

"Why is she against it?" Huang Zhiting was surprised: "Are you criticizing her for being jealous?" ”

Gao Shishi smiled bitterly: "Why am I criticizing her, I think her thoughts like this are very real." Do you know, when I went to Guangxi to take office, I walked with her for more than half the way, and during the trip she said a point: love is exclusive - that is, love cannot tolerate a third person. ”

Huang Zhiting suddenly said: "Oh - I know what you're talking about, but what does this have to do with love?" The dowry maid is just a dowry maid, and they don't need to have any love with you. Didn't I just say that they were just my stand-ins. ”

Gao Shicheng frowned: "But they are also human beings, and they also have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows." ”

When Huang Zhiting heard this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xianggong, I had such an idea when I was a teenager, but it's a pity that you ...... There are some things that I can't change. ”

"To be specific, what's the matter?" Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you don't let them marry, you should be able to do it, right?" ”

"No, I can't." Huang Zhiting shook his head and said: "If you don't let them marry, someone else will definitely replace you, this is the rule of the toast of the servant family for nearly a thousand years, and our Huang family was not even toast at that time." Since there will always be them, and they have been cultivated since childhood according to the dowry maids, and they are close to me, why don't I use them? ”

Gao Shishi was about to continue, Huang Zhiting reached out and gently pressed his lips, and said: "Xianggong, you know that the wolf soldiers are loyal, but you don't know that the dowry maids of the Tusi family are actually no different from the wolf soldiers, for their own toast, they can do anything, including death." And now not only do they not want to die, but they can also become the pillow people of the dragon and phoenix among people like Xianggong, for their background, there is really nothing better than this.

And this thousand-year-old inheritance cannot be easily broken unless it ...... You want the servant Tusi to no longer be able to control the people under his rule. Whether it's the Huang family, the Cen family, not to mention other toast families, everyone doesn't dare to break these rules. ”

Gao Pragmatic grabbed her Rouyi and moved it away gently, frowned and asked, "Is it so serious?" ”

"Yes, it's that serious." Huang Zhiting nodded seriously, then sighed again, and said, "If one day you want to 'change the land and return to the stream', let's talk about this matter again, okay?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: It seems that Tusi's control over the people is really all-round, not only physical control, but even mental control, no wonder she just used 'my property' to describe her dowry maid. In the era before I traveled back in time, "equality of personality" was a universal value, but apparently in their eyes, it was a virus-like idea.

Thinking of this, Gao Pragmatic sighed and said, "Okay, let this matter go for a while." But if I don't go to have sex with them......"

Huang Zhiting didn't seem to understand why Gao Pragmatic had such a great sense of rejection for the marrying maid, but she still nodded and said: "Then naturally the husband has the final say, and the slave family can't force you, let alone them." ”

Gao Shicheng just nodded, who knew that Huang Zhiting continued very seriously: "However, if I can't conceive a child, then the Xianggong must accept them into the room - this is also the rule, their children can be regarded as mine, and they can inherit my dowry in the future." ”

Gao Pragmatic said with a smile: "Zhiting, today is the first day of your wedding and mine, can you stop saying such things." ”

Huang Zhiting said apologetically: "It's just that I just talked about the rules...... Okay, okay, let's not talk about these bad things. She changed the topic and said, "By the way, Miss Liu is a Han woman, why is she also leading troops like me?" Also, why did she have such a strange idea? You used to say that she was very smart when she was a child...... Does it have anything to do with this? ”

"Uh...... She...... Maybe, I mean, maybe it's because she's so smart that she doesn't approve of certain rules. ”

"Some rules? Does it mean three from four virtues? Huang Zhiting was surprised: "She also listened to Li Zhen's gossip?" ”

Gao Pragmatic of course knew that Li Zhen, a "heretical thinker", advocated equality between men and women, and he criticized the view that "only women and villains are difficult to raise", believed that women also have the right to education, criticized the saying that "women are short of sight and cannot learn the Tao", and even on the issue of marriage, he also advocated freedom of marriage and love, and favored the remarriage of widows, etc.

However, this old man's thinking obviously cannot become the mainstream of this era, for example, now Huang Zhiting uses "Li Zhen's house" to call him.

You must know that Huang Zhiting is still a relatively open servant toast on the issue of equal rights between men and women, and she can't approve of it, let alone being a Han person.

Seeing that Gao Shishi didn't answer for a long time, Huang Zhiting shook her head while tying the jade belt around her waist for him: "This Miss Liu is indeed talented, what if...... It's a shame. ”

Gao was a little surprised: "What if? What a pity? ”

Huang Zhiting smiled, but did not answer, but looked Gao pragmatic up and down, and said, "Okay, you look in the mirror." ”

It turned out that the crown and belt were neat.

Gao Pragmatic walked to the big bronze mirror and looked at it, and was about to express his approval, but he saw Huang Zhiting slowly moving over from the mirror, his heart moved, and he turned his head and smiled: "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Zhiting suddenly flew into her cheeks and took a sip: "It's not you?" ”

Gao Pragmatic walked over and gently hugged her, and said, "I heard that even if a woman who practices martial arts is a newcomer, she can adapt better than ordinary women, and she will recover faster, you won't be a special case, right?" ”

Huang Zhiting glanced at him, lowered her head, and whispered: "The nurse said the same thing, she was still worried that she wouldn't be able to see red, and she was so scared that I was scared for a long time, but fortunately, ......" As she spoke, she gradually fell silent.

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "It's common to not see red, it's nothing unusual, I know." ”

Huang Zhiting was suddenly surprised, and looked suspicious: "How do you know?" ”

Gao Shi hurriedly said: "It was Mr. Binhu who told me, he is the Holy Hand of Xinglin, and he is very familiar with this kind of thing." ”

Of course, Li Shizhen didn't know that she had inexplicably carried a blame, but Huang Zhiting was relieved: "It turns out that there is really such a thing, I have broken this kind of case in Siming Mansion before, it was a local people who sued his wife for being newly married and did not see popularity, I was ...... It seems that the verdict was wrong. But fortunately, the woman later remarried a wealthy businessman in Annan according to the naturalized household registration system, and she was a regular wife, and now she is doing well, and when I return to Annan, I will go to overturn the case for her. ”

Gao Pragmatic couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "This ...... See for yourself. But when he said this, he was suddenly stunned: "Back to Annan?" ”

Huang Zhiting nodded and said, "Yes, I was about to ask you about this." Xianggong, do you think I will go back to Annan after I get pregnant, or will I go back after giving birth here? ”

It's strange that Huang Zhiting won't be shy when she says that she has a child, and Gao Pragmatic doesn't know if this is related to some of their servants' customs.

But that's not the point, Gao is concerned about her idea of going back to Annan.

"Won't you stay in Jingshi with me? How did you want to go back to Annam? ”

Huang Zhiting shook her head and said, "Isn't my aunt also living separately?" Or do you want me to go to Xinzheng? ”

The ancients said "aunt", which meant the father-in-law or mother-in-law or father-in-law. For example, this title is recorded in "Erya Shakti". The book says: "A woman is called her husband's father, her uncle, and her husband's mother is called her aunt." ”

And it is recorded in the "Book of Rites and Fang Ji": "Faint ceremony, son-in-law welcomes you, and you see it in your aunt." and the son of the aunt to confer son-in-law. This shows that the man went to the woman's house to greet his relatives, and when he saw the woman's parents, he also called "aunt". Therefore, "aunt" can refer not only to father-in-law and mother-in-law, but also to father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The "aunt" Huang Zhiting is talking about here is Gao Shishi's parents, they are also separated from each other, Gao Yi is an official in Fengyang, and Zhang's family stays in Xinzheng to teach his son.

But Gao Pragmatic felt that this was very unreasonable, and frowned: "My adults (parents) separated because the Gao clan was the best in Zhongzhou, and when they separated, I already had several younger brothers and sisters. ”

Huang Zhiting was happy in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face, but she still insisted: "I love me when I kiss my father-in-law, and the slave family is naturally happy." However, at the beginning of southern Xinjiang, Annan is still the cornerstone of southern Xinjiang, and if I am not in Annan, I will still not be so relieved. ”

She saw Gao Shishi frowning, as if she was about to speak, and hurriedly continued: "But don't worry, Xianggong, the Jinghua fleet spans the north and south oceans, and although the slave family wants to stay in Annan to take care of this foundation now, it is not impossible to take some time to go north to be with Xianggong." And when the situation stabilizes on another day, he may be able to accompany his husband for a long time. ”

Gao Pragmatic suddenly understood that the women at this time, in terms of social requirements and personal mentality, were very different from later generations. In particular, the understanding of "virtuous" varies greatly, and the reason why the ancients said "marry a wife and marry a virtuous" is also a requirement of this nature.

What is a virtuous person? After the emperor gave the marriage this time, the two copies of the edict were expressed: Feng precedes filial piety, and benefits Zongyi; Capture Dorn and return to his home. Only to have a phase, the honor of the left and right auxiliaries; Erkexian, do your best to praise the way of the night.

Look, the clan and the family have to be taken into account, not to mention the importance, just like the prime minister of the imperial court.

Therefore, Huang Zhiting thinks that she should go to Annan to take care of Gao Shiji's foundation, which is a very reasonable thinking. is unreasonable, but it is Gao pragmatic's own thinking - he is not the "original" of the Ming Dynasty, and sometimes he will still bring in the thinking mode of his previous life.

Thinking about the reason, Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to use the procrastination trick first, and said: "Don't be in a hurry in advance, first seize the time to struggle and struggle, and then talk about it when you are pregnant - I will teach you a new move tonight." ”

Huang Zhiting was still serious just now, but now she blushed suddenly, and turned her head and didn't dare to be positive and pragmatic.

Seeing this, Gao Shishi coughed lightly: "...... It's easier to get pregnant. ”

When Huang Zhiting heard this, she immediately couldn't care about it, and quickly turned her head and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course, of course, but you may be tired, if you mind......"

"Don't mind!"
