Marriage customs

The aroma of food and wine fills the world. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the bold Jiuli men and the innocent Jiuli girls, eating and drinking without restraint. Occasionally, someone familiar with the bride or groom comes to the bride and groom to toast in front of the bride and groom, and then speaks some words of blessing or ridicule, so that happiness and laughter drift away with the aroma of the wine.

Bo and Ling are indeed very busy today, and it can be completely described as the busyness of this newcomer. So much so that when Gongsun walked in front of Bo, Bo didn't even greet Gongsun for the first time because he thought he was dazzled. However, Gongsun obviously doesn't care about this. I saw Gongsun grinning wickedly after noticing Bo's somewhat dull eyes. Then, he hugged Beau violently. After studying the Wenren Society and going to the Northern Underworld to experience this circle, Gongsun's appearance has changed a lot from when he just left the Jiuli Tribe. In particular, Gongsun's age is precisely the age of growing his body, and sometimes he does not see him for more than a month, and it is possible to find that some obvious changes have occurred in the figure and posture of teenagers of this age.

Gongsun, who was originally a lot shorter than Bo, came back this time, and his height was about to catch up with Bo. In addition, Gongsun improved his cultivation when he heard about the meeting, and his strength was naturally much greater than before. Gongsun, who was very excited to see Bo, failed to control his strength properly. In addition, Bo is a "great sage", not to mention that his strength is not compared with Gongsun, even compared with the ordinary Jiuli tribesmen, it is pitiful.

Under the advantages of the other, Gongsun's hug directly "hugged" Bo a little breathless. However, the excited grandson didn't notice Bo's condition at all, and he was still calling "Brother Bo" in a row. Gongsun doesn't know at all, it's not that Brother Bo, who keeps calling in his mouth, is unwilling to pay attention to him, it's just because Gongsun hugged him too tightly that Bo couldn't speak at all.

Fortunately, although Gongsun didn't notice Bo's state due to negligence, there were still careful people who noticed Bo's situation. Otherwise, Bo will become the first groom in the history of Jiuli to be strangled to death by his brother. Those who noticed Beau's situation were two attentive women. One of them is the female tired who is standing not far behind Gongsun at the moment, and the other is naturally today's bride "Ling". It's just that Ling doesn't know if it's because he's shy, or because he noticed that the woman was tired and paid attention to Bo's situation. In short, it seems to us that Ling's reaction is a little slower than that of the female tired. In the end, it was the female tired who gently reminded Gongsun to pay attention to Bo's state, and after Gongsun let go of Bo, he helped Bo check his body.

Letting go of the grandson of the queen of Bo, while touching the back of his head, he said with a smile: "Brother Bo, I'm so excited, don't you mind." Oh, by the way, sister-in-law Ling, don't mind. Haha, don't mind, don't mind. ”

Gongsun said this, saying that it was the ten heroes who came here with Gongsun, and few people even among the clansmen of the Jiuli tribe had seen it. Gongsun's appearance at this moment, in the eyes of the part of the tribe that originally belonged to the Xi tribe, was the one who was alive and well. If not, everyone is no longer familiar with Gongsun's face, and there will definitely be people who suspect that Gongsun is dressed up by Chiyou at this moment.

It is implied in our book that Gongsun's abnormal state is indeed not in line with Gongsun's consistent character. However, today's Gongsun is happy on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also because he is in front of Bo who does not need to bother to calculate at all, so Gongsun can smile as happily as Chiyou.

In fact, Bo himself was born in the Miao nationality of the Sanmiao country, not the same clan as Gongsun. When Bo and Gongsun met, it happened to be when the Miao tribe was hit by the beast tide, and only a few dozen teenagers survived in the Ju clan. At that time, Bo just changed his clan name to the character "Miao" to represent hope because he wanted to help his clan forget their grief and at the same time to build hope for their clan. When Gongsun and Bo first met, it was only out of sympathy for Bo's plight that he took the initiative to go with Bo.

Who would have thought that in the subsequent contact, Gongsun found that his calculations and analysis had no effect at all on the young man in front of him, who was not a few years older than him. This kind of frustration has only been encountered by Gongsun in Grandpa Xi before this. And as Gongsun and Bo were in contact with each other for longer and longer, Gongsun was pleasantly surprised to find that the doctor was a very knowledgeable person. From this, Gongsun also came to a conclusion, that is, when his brother Bo was around, not only did he not need to bother to calculate, but even his brain could rest a little. Perhaps, only in the face of Grandpa Xi and Bo, Gongsun can be the most authentic version of himself and be an ignorant and innocent teenager.

It is precisely this feeling that is not a relative but more like a relative, which makes Gongsun very excited every time he sees Bo, and he keeps calling Brother Bo one by one. And today is not only the first time that Gongsun has returned to the clan to visit after leaving Bo, but also a day of great joy. Gongsun was naturally as happy as a child, completely ignoring that he had friends behind him to accompany him.

There is no doubt that he has put aside the disguise of calm and wise, and is innocent like a child. is far more lovely than the grandson who looks heavy on weekdays. Even when the female tired reminded Gongsun to pay attention to Bo's situation, she couldn't bear to push Gongsun with too much force. Instead, he was very gentle and called to his grandson gently. Perhaps, the female tired is also carefully caring for the rare innocence of Gongsun.

With the reminder of the girl's tiredness, Gongsun finally came back to his senses and realized that he still had a friend present. Gongsun hurriedly grabbed Bo, who had just been panting, and excitedly introduced the new friends he met at the Wenren Club to Bo. Of course, the more important purpose of Gongsun doing this is actually to introduce Bo to Shijie. In the company's angry introduction, Bo's image completely exceeded the limit of what the great sage could describe. In the mouth of Gongsun, it is simply like a god who is rare in the Tianshan Mountains and has no gods on the earth.

In order to prevent Gongsun from blowing himself into the sky, Bo deliberately stopped Gongsun's words and explained a few words to Shijie. By the way, Bo also invited Shijie to join his wedding banquet, which was regarded as a wedding banquet for Shijie.

Because it was a happy event, everyone drank a few more glasses of wine. It's just that Gongsun returned to Jiuli this time, at best, he was completing the task assigned by Grandpa Xi, and at worst, it was enough to desert at worst. The reason is very simple, Grandpa Xi just asked Shijie to make use of all the gales that were idle in his site, but Grandpa Xi did not say that he could use the gales to do private work. Even if this kind of thing is done privately, Grandpa Xi acquiesced. However, Grandpa Xi would definitely not agree to Gongsun and the others flying long distances in a strong wind. Grandpa Xi will not allow it, I am afraid that the destination of the long-distance flight with strong winds also happens to be Gongsun's hometown.

Not to mention, whether Grandpa Xi, who has always emphasized fairness, can allow his grandson to violate the law and discipline under his nose. Just to say that Gongsun is serving the Terran advance army at this moment, in today's words, that is, military service. Who has ever seen an Air Force soldier on military service, who flew directly back to his hometown in a plane. Even if there is such a person who has not slipped away, who has ever seen someone who can still wander around like a nobody. What Gongsun is doing now, to put it mildly, is no different from a deserter. Therefore, the time of Gongsun and others is very urgent.

When Bo and Ling's wedding banquet ended, it was actually just afternoon, except for some people who had a good amount of alcohol, they also got together to fight wine through the marriage of Bo and Ling. The rest, drunk or well-fed, went back to their homes. And Shijie, who was in a hurry, also gradually sobered up after taking sobering drugs. Shijie, who couldn't delay for a moment, directly fed Bo Ye a sobering medicine, and said that it was so that Bo could not delay the candles in the cave room at night.

Bo, who woke up early because of the sobering medicine, didn't take much effort to figure out that Gongsun had something to tell him. At that moment, Bo was not ambiguous, and sat up directly and asked Gongsun about his intentions. Gongsun simply relayed the matter of the Northern Underworld to Bo, and bluntly said that the Jiuli Department at this moment may need to rely on Bo to make the decision. It was only at this moment that Gongsun understood the reason why Grandpa Xi deliberately left Bo in the Jiuli Division. Grandpa Xi actually thought about it early on that once the war in the Northern Hells appeared to be unclear such as a see-saw or stalemate. As the Jiuli Department in the rear, there must be a leader who can convince the public.

Gongsun's father, Shaodian, has a very unique place in governing internal affairs. But Grandpa Xi knew that his second son was a person who had more than enough success and not enough innovation. Although Shaodian is given enough time, Shaodian can still accumulate the prestige of Grandpa Xi. But if you want to make Shaodian's prestige reach the point of convincing all the clansmen of the Jiuli tribe in a short period of time, it is far more difficult than directly letting Bo come forward. Although Bo did not show any special talent in cultivation, he did have outstanding qualities in accumulating prestige. From the beginning of the formation of the Sanmiao State, to the later development of the Sanmiao State into the Sanmiao Tribal Alliance, and now the Merger of the Sanmiao Alliance and the Xi tribe into the Jiuli Alliance. This series of moves is not a big move, but under Bo's leadership, no one thinks there is a problem.

It was precisely because he figured this out that Gongsun deliberately recounted the affairs of the Northern Underworld and his own ideas about Shaoxian Mountain to Bo. Gongsun's purpose was actually to hear Bo's opinion. To Gongsun's surprise, Bo not only affirmed Gongsun's idea, but also made three suggestions for Gongsun.

The first piece of advice given by Bo basically made sense with Gongsun's previous assumptions. It is to change the combat status of the Jiuli warriors of the Northern Underworld from attacking everywhere to choosing a place to defend. The Jiuli warriors, who had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Northern Underworld and occupied Shaoxian Mountain as a stronghold, naturally should not and could not give up the benefits that their people had exchanged for their lives and blood donations. Therefore, Bo also supports continuing to increase troops to the Northern Underworld, but suggests that the warriors who go to the Northern Underworld take local materials and build garrisons and fortifications. For the construction of the station, Bo also put forward a very valuable suggestion, that is, let Taki, follow Gongsun to the North Underworld. Because, the inheritance of the Tianji Island Tianguan lineage inherited by Taki, what he is best at is the construction of various military fortifications and facilities.

Starting from the second suggestion given by Bo, it was something that Gongsun hadn't thought of before. Bo suggested that Gongsun should not only select a group of warriors to take to the Northern Underworld, but even select some ordinary clansmen or craftsmen from the various clans of the Jiuli Alliance to send them to the Northern Underworld. This is to allow the stronghold of Shaoxian Mountain to achieve self-sufficiency for a long time to come, and to prepare for a long battle. Bo believes that no matter how the battle between the Terrans and the Northern Underworld ends in the end, the Jiuli tribe must envision the future for itself. If it is said that Wenren will be the back road of the entire human race. Bo hoped that the stronghold of Shaoxian Mountain could become a retreat for the Jiuli Tribe. Similarly, in response to this suggestion, Bo also drew a map of the places where all the allied tribes of the Jiuli tribe originally lived to Gongsun. In this way, it is convenient for Gongsun to arrange people and pick up these people separately. It is worth mentioning that the Jiuli tribe is composed of nine tribes, which is also the original intention of Grandpa Xi when he proposed the name "Jiuli". And because Lieshan was going to lead the team to Shaoxian Mountain, Shijie also happened to come back with nine gales, which was really a coincidence.

Bo's last piece of advice to Gongsun was that because of the rise of the war and the death rate of more than ninety and a half of the warriors of the Jiuli tribe before. Beau deduces that more people may die in the battles that follow. Also for the sake of the inheritance of the Jiuli Ministry, Bo suggested that Gongsun implement the reform of marriage customs within the Jiuli Ministry. It is to change the original monogamous system into other systems that are more conducive to reproduction. For the idea of a new marriage system, Bo also gave two suggestions. One is the "monogamous and polyandry" system, and the other is the "walking marriage" system.

The system of monogamy and polygamy was based on the fact that when the tribes were in conflict with each other, they often captured the members of the rival tribes as slaves. This system allows a man to have more than one woman under the premise that there are more women than men, but except for one wife, the rest of the women belong to the reproductive machine without any welfare and status. These slave-like women, who were specially designed to take over the work of childbearing while the main wife was raising offspring, were called concubines.

The marriage system is more open, although it still follows the existing monogamous system, but it no longer fixes the combination of husband and wife. It is true that for a period of time, a man can still only live with one woman, but at the stage when the woman is raising children, the relationship between the two people is naturally dissolved, and the children are raised by the woman. A man may enter into a new conjugal relationship with any woman who is not in childbearing on a free and voluntary basis.

The fundamental purpose of these two systems is to raise more offspring and avoid the population of Jiuli from declining year by year due to the war. However, there are drawbacks to both systems. If the first system is applied to women captured from rival tribes, Gongsun does not have any psychological burden. However, if it is used on the same clan, especially on the families of these warriors who died in battle to protect the clan, Gongsun really can't pass the level in his heart.

Although the second system does not have the problem of treating one's own family as slaves, the fact that the responsibility for raising offspring is entirely placed on the woman, is also a potentially destabilizing factor. However, compared with the first option, Gongsun is still more receptive to the second method. The most important thing is that the situation at that time was very special, and men did not have the social responsibility of raising offspring, but to fulfill their obligation to protect their homeland. Gongsun felt that he could take advantage of this, and that by handing over all the means of production to the woman who was responsible for raising the offspring, and requiring all the men who got married to "leave the house" might be a better way to convince the clansmen.
