The Reborn Wife is Farming

Lu Zhen was drenched in cold sweat. He knelt down and called out to the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was silent, he could only grit his teeth and say, "It is said in the "Old Tang Book? The wife, Li, is also the wife of the country; every time she enters the court, the two wives will receive gifts together.' "Anlu Mountain Deeds Volume" also has: "(Tianbao) was added for six years, and Mrs. Yushi was added, and the two wives were granted the Tang family and Duan family name. And for Mrs. Guo..."

"Lord Lu, I'm asking how to explain the definition of a flat wife in the "Law of the Great Zhou", not asking who has married a flat wife in history." Mu Yangling interrupted him, and said with a half-smile: "I don't know. How Master Lu passed the imperial examination, such an irrelevant answer, it is really a great fortune to be able to pass the imperial examination."

Everyone laughed, and seeing Lu Zhen's face flushed, Mu Yangling asked, "It seems that although Master Lu married a flat wife, he doesn't quite understand the definition of a flat wife in "The Law of the Great Zhou". What about the definition? Master Lu should know this, right?"

Resentment flashed in Lu Zhen's eyes, but he couldn't speak, because it would be a crime to speak up.

Mu Yangling stopped chasing and beating him forcefully, and it would not do her much good to break up with Lu Zhen any longer, so she turned her head to look at the first position, and said respectfully: "Master Chen, you are very knowledgeable, I don't know you Can you clear things up for everyone?"

Chen Fang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He was transferred from the Ministry of Punishment to the Ministry of Rites because of his age. He heard this and said with a smile: "There are no equal wives in the "Law of the Great Zhou", and wives are equal to their husbands. From the son of heaven to the common people, their righteousness is the same."

"Then, can Master Chen tell me the origin of the term Ping Wife?"

Chen Fang shook his head and said, "Equal Wife is just a name used by businessmen to coax outsiders. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the law stipulated that no wife should be remarried, otherwise it would be a violation of the law."

It seems that the speeches of the Great Zhou Dynasty were really open. In front of the emperor, Chen Fang was not afraid to refute the emperor with facts and theories, and reminded him that some things were unreasonable.

Mu Yangling felt relieved, and felt that there was nothing wrong with living in Dazhou, at least it was much better than the Ming and Qing dynasties in his previous life.

Mu Yangling knelt down before facing the emperor again, and said, "Your Majesty, according to Mr. Chen's explanation, it is illegal for Mr. Lu to have a wife and marry an ordinary wife. Then why can a person who breaks the law still be an official in the court and not be punished?" ?”

Mu Yangling obviously wanted to divert the disaster to the east and expose this matter to the past. Everyone looked at Lu Zhen sympathetically. When the emperor mentioned Ping Wife, he shouldn't have jumped out. They just didn't know that the Mu family would be there again. what to do answer.

Before the emperor could say anything, the queen slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Wives and concubines should not be messed up. This is an old saying. Although the officials in the Tang Dynasty were not taboo, in my Zhou Dynasty, there has never been such a disregard for the law. Your Majesty!" , I request that Lu Shilang be dealt with according to law."

The emperor lowered his head and stared at Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling for a while, then said slowly: "Mu Shi, go to the east."

Everyone looked at Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling in astonishment, why did the topic change?

The queen was also taken aback, and turned to look at the two kneeling below.

Mu Yangling's face turned red, and he moved a little to the east. The emperor stared at their sleeves for a long time, and finally confirmed what he was thinking. These two were holding hands all the time.

The emperor, who was originally furious, was in a better mood. He asked: "Qi Aiqing, I ask you, did you really make such a promise to Mrs. Mu? Look up and answer me."

The ministers didn't know what the emperor was getting into, shouldn't they go down the ladder handed over by the empress at this time? Why did you go back to the first question?

Qi Haoran raised his head and returned seriously: "Back to the emperor, I did promise you." His face was slightly red, but he still explained seriously: "I and Mu grew up together. She saved her life."

"Oh? How did she save you?" the emperor asked curiously.

Naturally, Qi Haoran wouldn't talk about his injuries and what happened on the battlefield, he just said: "When I was young and ignorant, I and my cousin went to Xingzhou Mansion to find my eldest brother, but they were chased and ran into the forest. At that time, we not only There is no food, and I am still lost in the mountains. If we hadn't met her, our two cousins ​​would have died in the mountains and become relatives with bones. In the past five or six years, we have been together day and night , but it can also be regarded as a good friend. When I am in trouble, she will help me, and when she is in trouble, I will also help her. The marriage between me and her was agreed in the morning. It was originally said that she would not marry until she was sixteen , but the eldest brother needs to be happy, I just mentioned it, and she agreed, so..." Qi Haoran's face turned redder, and his voice was low, but he still said clearly: "I swear, she will be the only one in my life, let alone ordinary. I don't want a wife, even a concubine or a housemate, if I break this promise, I have to make peace with her."

Everyone's eyes widened, and the emperor was also slightly surprised. He laughed and said, "You don't suffer from this promise at all. You can marry another one after you and Li, but it will be difficult for her to marry again. What kind of vow is this?"

Qi Haoran blushed and said: "Your Majesty, you haven't finished listening. We are divorced, the child belongs to her, and I can change my surname. All my property also belongs to her. From now on, whether I marry a wife and have children, or be alone, Two-thirds of the salary and property earned will be given to her, and if she is down and out, she must also be guaranteed a certain amount of alimony and child support every year, in short, there are many regulations."

The emperor was stunned, "Could it be possible that you still signed the contract?"

Qi Haoran nodded as it should, "Of course, if there is no contract, what if we forget it in the future?"

The emperor said thoughtfully: "The price is indeed a bit high, and it is quite real, but property can be faked, but it is not good to have blood leaking out..."

"Your Majesty," Qi Haoran interrupted him unhappily, and said, "The most important thing is that I want to make peace with Mrs. Mu? How could I make peace with her?"

The emperor looked at Qi Haoran's staring eyes, and believed that he rejected him, probably not because he was the matchmaker he said, nor because the object was Qin Xiang's daughter, but because of such an oath, or because he was newly married!

The emperor said affirmatively: "I forgot, you are newly married now, after two or three years, I'm afraid you won't think so."

Qi Haoran said affirmatively: "In another twenty or thirty years, I will still be the same."

The emperor looked at the swearing Qi Haoran, and just smiled. He had said such love words before, but now all of them disappeared. Even now, he would still say such love words, but the target was different.

The people below only smiled slightly, and like the emperor, they all felt that Qi Haoran was a young man with deep love, that the Mu family was kind to him, and that he was newly married, so they could swear so swearingly, but it will always change in the future.

Everyone goes through this stage.

Women are a little envious of Mu Yangling, even if they know that Qi Haoran's affection is temporary, maybe it won't be long, half a year, one year or two years, Qi Haoran's back house will come in, but at this time Qi Haoran is willing to do it for her And to stand up and reject this marriage is enviable in their eyes, at least they will have such good memories in the future, right?
