232, the virtuous wife
Liu Qing brought Jing Wen to the room, and Jing Wen didn't know what Liu Qing wanted to do. Liu Qing sat down and then let Jing Wen sit down.
"Husband, I'm afraid I can't marry you!" Liu Qing said suddenly.
"What? What do you mean? Explain it clearly to me." Jing Wen asked.
Jing Wen originally thought he could get married, but now his woman said that he could not marry him, which surprised him. This is really ridiculous. Even if he has his own children in his belly, he actually said that he could not marry him. This is really angering.
"Husband, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, when a man and a woman get married, she must be of equal status! If she cannot be of equal status, the government can judge that it is an invalid marriage." Liu Qing said.
"Is there such a law? It's so lenient!" Jing Wen said angrily.
Jing Wen did not expect that there were any laws that match the Tang Dynasty had clearly recorded the laws. Although match the families were a habit since ancient times, the Tang Dynasty actually wrote this rule into the law, which was simply ridiculous. This made Jing Wen, a person who enjoyed the freedom of love in later generations, could not accept it.
"What should we do then? Why can't we get married? How can we be together?" Jing Wen asked.
Liu Qing said: "Actually, husband, you are a sixth-rank official in the court now and are already an official in the court. But Qing'er is just a businessman and obviously cannot match your husband. Therefore, Qing'er can only be your concubine, not your wife. If you insist on being a wife, you may not be your official position unless your husband resigns all your official positions, so that you can be together."
"Okay, I'll resign my official position!" Jing Wen said.
Jing Wen did not think that this official position was very important, because Jing Wen believed that he could live a good life without this official position. Therefore, since this official position became an obstacle to his marriage, he would quit and not feel heartbroken.
"No, husband, never!" Liu Qing exclaimed again.
"Why?" Jing Wen asked.
Liu Qing hurriedly said, "Husband, you have finally gained the trust of the emperor and became a sixth-rank official. You can't quit easily! This is a matter of glorifying the ancestors. How can you do this? Therefore, don't resign for Qing'er's official position, otherwise Qing'er will be a great sinner. If your husband must resign, then Qing'er would rather take his children away and fly away and not be with your husband."
After hearing what Liu Qing said, Jing Wen calmed down. Liu Qing said that if he insisted on resigning from his official position, then Liu Qing would really leave. Because if he resigned from his official position for Liu Qing, then Liu Qing's reputation would probably be very dangerous. Because her husband didn't even want the future for an official position for a woman, this ancient man reflected his favor for women, but also put this woman at a moral disadvantage. Because in ancient times, he was always committed to being ambitious, but if he gave up his future for a woman, not only would men be belittled, but even women would be called a beauty and a harm to others. If Jing Wen really resigned from his official position for Liu Qing, then Liu Qing would probably have to bear all kinds of rumors. He might even be labeled as a negative textbook to tell those women not to do so.
"What should I do?" Jing Wen asked.
Liu Qing said: "I'd better be your concubine to my husband, so there will be no problem. Although the rules of the Tang Dynasty set up rules about the wife, there are no rules for the concubines. In this way, I'll be your concubine to my husband, so there is no problem."
"Then I feel wronged!" Jing Wen said.
In Jing Wen's eyes, a concubine is a lover. She was not a truly legal identity in later generations. In ancient times, the children born by the concubine might not be able to inherit the family business, because they were all concubines and did not conform to the ancient system of inheritance of the eldest son. Therefore, Liu Qing chose to be Jing Wen's concubine, which means that the descendants she gave up the inheritance rights of most of Jing Wen's family property. This sacrifice is not small, so Jing Wen felt that he owed her a little. Not only could he not give her a wife's identity in terms of status, but he could not even give her the inheritance rights of her descendants. This would be a huge loss of money.
"Since that's the case, I'll give you 50% of my accounting firm!" Jing Wen said.
"What? Husband, what do you mean?" Liu Qing asked.
Jing Wen explained: "Since we have not gotten married, we are actually just a business partner relationship. Then I will give you 50% of my accounting firm. This should not be a problem!"
At that time, Jing Wen and Liu Qing cooperated to open the accounting firm, so Liu Qing became Jing Wen's partner. Liu Qing had 40% of the shares and Jing Wen had 60%. Now Jing Wen gave 50% of them to Liu Qing again, which was actually giving 90% of the shares to Liu Qing. Jing Wen's meaning was very obvious, that is, all of the shares were given to Liu Qing. From a legal perspective, this industry belonged to Liu Qing, but Jing Wen had no share. Later, this industry was handed over to the descendants born to Liu Qing, and the descendants born to other women of Jing Wen could not obtain the industry of this accounting firm.
Since this accounting firm was built by Liu Qing, there is no problem for her to get most of it. Therefore, it is normal to let Liu Qing and her descendants in the future. Jing Wen doesn't want his son to develop the habit of getting something for nothing.
"Thank you!" Liu Qing said.
Of course Liu Qing understood that Jing Wen was taking care of her, so she was very grateful.
"Husband, you can actually let Miss Cheng Lin be the wife. He is General Cheng Yaojin's daughter. Cheng Yaojin pays attention to being a transcendent position in the court, so if he marrys his daughter, he should be able to get the care of General Cheng Yaojin in the future. With General Cheng Yaojin's care, then your husband will have a bright future in the future! Also, Miss Xue Xue seems to have a deep affection for her husband, and her husband can also let her be your woman, so that the three of us sisters can work together as a husband." Liu Qing said.
"Isn't this good?" Jing Wen said.
