Yang Zheng said: "My sister misunderstood, my younger brother's admiration for my sister is like a surging river, endless, how dare I make fun of you, I want to bless you!" May you grow old and be united forever! “

Yang Shiqi laughed and said, "Well said, well said!" “

Su Xiaolan blushed, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

Yang Zheng lost a look at Yang Shiqi, Yang Shiqi has been in the officialdom for many years, where does he not know the meaning of Yang Zheng's eyes, hehe smiled, nodded at Yang Zheng, stretched out his big hand and grabbed Su Xiaolan's little hand, and said softly: "Lan'er, the auspicious time has come, let's go to the church and get married, right?" ”

Su Xiaolan's delicate body trembled, but she didn't know what to do, and two lines of crystal tears rolled down her cheeks. Drop by drop fell on Yang Shiqi's wrist.

Yang Shiqi patted her little hand lightly, and said softly: "Silly Lan'er, you and I should be happy on the day of our big day, why do you cry?" ”

"People, people are just happy, so they cry!" Su Xiaolan whimpered.

Yang Shiqi patted her lightly and said, "Don't cry, if you cry again, it will ruin the atmosphere?" ”

Su Xiaolan hummed softly and immediately stopped crying.

Yang Zheng shouted at Gao Hang, "Is Big Brother Gao ready?" “

Gao Hang took out a string of violent bamboos from his arms, then lit a stick of incense, shook it at Yang Zheng, and said, "Ready?" “

Yang Zheng said: "Okay, please invite the groom Yang Shiqi and the bride Su Xiaolan——? ”

Gao Hang took advantage of the situation to ignite the storming bamboo, and after a crackling sound, Yang Zheng hurriedly shouted: "Worship Gaotang!" ”

Yang Shiqi took Su Xiaolan's little hand and walked to the upper place, and made a big salute to the burning red candle.

"Two Worship High Hall ——?" Yang Zheng shouted again.

Yang Shiqi and Su Xiaolan also bowed in the direction of the top.

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

Yang Shiqi and Su Xiaolan each glanced at each other, Yang Shiqi took advantage of the salute to possess the past, and whispered in Su Xiaolan's ear: "Lan'er, this matter is a little hasty today, and we will go back to Beijing another day, I must be in a good situation?" ”

Su Xiaolan's wish that she had been waiting for many years finally got what she wanted, and she didn't care about it anymore, although this ceremony was simple, but there was heaven and earth as evidence, and the old moon was a plan, what the scenery was, she had no other thoughts, she only felt that there were these three worships at this moment, and it was worth dying.

Hearing this, he said softly: "As long as Yang Lang is with you, I don't care about anything!" ”

Yang Shiqi was moved in his heart, and said with a whimper: "I, Yang Shiqi, swear to heaven that I will follow Su Xiaolan in this life and this life, and I will never give up, if I disobey, it will not be good——? “

Su Xiaolan hurriedly covered his lips and said softly: "Yang Lang, on the day of great joy, don't swear an oath, with your words, Lan'er has no regrets!" “

"Lan'er ——?" Yang Shiqi shouted softly.

"My day, look at this situation, you have to speed up, otherwise I'm afraid it won't end well——?" Yang Zheng smiled at Gao Hang, Gao Hang knew how to light the firecrackers again, and when he heard a crackling, he hurriedly shouted: "Licheng, send the groom, the bride into the cave room!" ”

At that moment, he and Gao Hang hurriedly helped Yang Shiqi and Su Xiaolan to enter the dark grid of the painting boat.

Yang Zheng waved his hand to Gao Hang, took the daughter red and two wine glasses sent by Gao Hang, gently stuffed them into Yang Shiqi's arms, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yang handed over a glass of wine, don't forget to drink it, after drinking the wine, just hurry up and do serious things, we won't delay you——? ”

Gao Hang laughed and said, "Brother Yang, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, don't say more, how about we find a place to have a few drinks?" ”

Yang Zheng said: "That's what I mean!" ”

The two laughed and left.

………………

Regarding the flat wife in the previous chapter, many people ask, let me explain here: China is a patriarchal and ethical society, and "monogamy" is regarded as the basic principle of marriage. [Eastern Han Dynasty] Ban Gu's "White Tiger Tongyi" once said: "The wife is also Qi and the husband is in the same body, from the Son of Heaven to the Shuren, and its righteousness is also the same." "New Tang Dynasty Book, Confucianism, Wei Gongsu": "The ancient princes married nine daughters, so the temple has no two concubines, since the Qin Dynasty, there have been remarriages, before and after marrying (stepwives), all are grandchildren, and the two are not suspicious. ”

The monogamy in the ancient marriage system was actually only in terms of name, but the legal stipulation of monogamy began in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was inherited by the laws of successive dynasties. It is generally believed that the traditional marriage system in ancient China practiced the "monogamous and polygamous concubine system".

Before the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a saying, "If the ancients married a daughter, they would be followed by their nephews, and they were called concubines." "For example: Zhou Tianzi married Qi with Wang Ji, and Wei Lu Jin with the same surname will be married to the daughter of the sect. When a nobleman marries a daughter, he must marry his niece and sister. And the sister who has been married in the past is a concubine, whose status is lower than that of a wife, higher than that of a concubine, and the same as the so-called flat wife, she is essentially a concubine. And after the death of the wife, the concubine can have the opportunity to become a wife, but the concubines who come from other ways have no chance. So many people think that concubines can be corrected, but in fact they are not. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been no concubines, and the law clearly stipulates the system of monogamy and appropriate concubinage. "Mencius": "Qi Huan five prohibitions, one is said to have no wife as a concubine", is the earliest record of disorderly wives and concubines. The Qin Dynasty practiced monogamy, and the "Miscellaneous Laws of the Book of Laws" stipulated: if the husband has one wife and two concubines, he will be punished, and if the husband has two wives, he will be punished, and if the wife has a foreign husband, he will be punished.

The "Nine Laws of the Han Dynasty" also stipulates that "disorderly wives and concubines" are crimes, among which the "Enze Hou Table" records: Fu Yan, the Marquis of Confucius, sits on the position of disorderly wives and concubines, and is exempted. Han law has clearly shown a trend towards the identity of marriage.

After the Tang Dynasty, the social atmosphere was also more open, and the phenomenon of equal wives became more common, but the law still prohibited it. According to the "Tang Law Shu Yi Household Marriage Law", it is stipulated that "all wives who remarry will be imprisoned for one year, and the female family will be reduced by one grade, and if those who marry by deception, they will be imprisoned for one and a half years, and the female family will not sit down, and each will leave." Although the Tang Dynasty explicitly forbade "marrying a wife", in the social reality of the Tang Dynasty, the practice of marriage was particularly prevalent, and of course, the degree of freedom of marriage among women in the Tang Dynasty was also quite high among the Chinese dynasties. "Old Tang Book: The Biography of Wang Mao Zhong": "His wife has been named Mrs. Guo, and his wife Li is also Mrs. Guo; Every time they enter the pilgrimage, the two ladies will give them the same gift. "An Lushan Deeds Volume": "(Tianbao) six years, add Mrs. Yushi, seal the two wives of the Tang family and the wife of the country. ""Combined Things": "An Chongrong married a second wife, and Gaozu was knighted because of it. Although this practice is tacitly acquiesced by the government, it does not mean that it is legal, and if someone has a dispute with the government over "changing wives", the government will still deal with it in accordance with the law.

The Song law basically followed the Tang law, only recognizing wives and concubines, the status of the two was clear, there was no provision for equal wives at all, and the Song Dynasty almost did not have the style of merging concubines in the Tang Dynasty. The "Song Criminal Household Marriage Law" stipulates: "If a wife marries a wife, he shall be imprisoned for one year, and the female family shall be reduced by one grade; If you marry in vain, you will be in charge for a year and a half, and the women's family will not sit, and they will leave it" and the provisions of the Yuan Dynasty "General System Rules": "To the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial history of Zhongshu Province was presented, and Shaanxi was based on the system of the judges. According to the law, the people of the prefecture and county, who are young and forty childless, and want to have an heir, marry another wife, or have already given birth, and are voluntary, shall be innocent and shall be changed to concubines. The household department agreed that if there is a wife to be remarried, if it is voluntary, it will be changed to a concubine. ”

Outer chambers, but this so-called "wifery" is not recognized by the law and the world.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated in the "Da Ming Law, Hulu and Marriage Gate": "If there is a wife who remarries, he will also be ninety rods, and (the wife who marries later) will be divorced (return to the sect)." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no equal wife in the law. The so-called flat wife is a coaxing outside woman. The one who married later will never return to the ancestral house for the rest of his life, and will not join the clan, but only the outer house. If you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you have to perform the concubine ceremony when you go home, and if you want to enter the family tree, you can only be a concubine, and your children can only remember that your concubines have children.

In the Qing Dynasty, this phenomenon has changed, but the law still has some Ming Dynasty regulations, according to the "Great Qing Law, Household Law, Marriage" stipulates that "wives and concubines are out of order": "Anyone who takes his wife as a concubine will have a hundred rods." and whoever takes a concubine as his wife shall have ninety rods and shall be corrected. If a wife remarries, he shall also be given 90 rods, and (the wife who marries later) shall be divorced (returned to the sect). ”

It was not until the 40th year of Qianlong that the Qing Dynasty by-laws were established: "If the heir is an only son, and the love belongs to the same father and Zhou, and the two are willing to do so, they will be given a family tie, and they will also be allowed to inherit the two-room ancestry." This can be said to be the only time in Chinese history that the law on flat wives is a special inheritance method for one son and two rooms of the same father and brother, one person chooses two rooms, and although the two daughters-in-law share a man, they actually belong to the cousin. However, there are still laws that consider the wife of the later to be a concubine, and the Dali Yuan believes: "The wife of the later marriage should be regarded as a concubine in law, but at the time of marriage, if you do not know that you have a wife and do not voluntarily become a concubine, you are allowed to ask for divorce." ”

But at the same time, the Criminal Department said that Ti Yiyun: "If a wife is found to have remarried, and his husband and his husband's relatives have committed crimes, the system is still formulated according to the suit, which means that the husband has not married two houses, and the wife who marries later should be divorced." If the two houses are married to wives, hoping to have grandchildren and heirs, it is a gift for the foolish people to ignore their heirs, and it is different from marrying a wife. Youyun: "Check people's affection and love women, in the knowledge that they have a wife and still promise to marry is rare, to the righteousness of the two rooms, the foolish people mistakenly think that the two rooms are married to the wives, so the women are allowed to match." The first name of the discussion ceremony is correct, and it is inconvenient to confuse the concubines, and the royal law is based on human feelings, and there is no order to divorce, and the offender should be treated as a concubine, and the love law is balanced. ”

To sum up, it can be seen that a husband should only have one wife, and "there is no reason for two wives to be married". Therefore, the etiquette law should determine the name in different orders, and only recognize the first person as a wife, and consider the later one to be a concubine. If there is a problem in the system or criminal system, it should be judged as a concubine.

There are very few people who have equal wives in history, and the more well-known "Book of Jin" records that Jia Chong's wife Guo Huai was deeply dissatisfied after hearing about it, thinking that she was the one who assisted Jia Chong in achieving her career, and Li Wan should not be on an equal footing with her. Jia Chong was also afraid of Guo Huai, so he resigned the edict of the two ladies. At that time, Jia Quan was the concubine of Sima You, the king of Qi, and hoped that his father would divorce Guo Huai and welcome back Li Wan, but Jia Chong refused, and only placed Li Wan in Yongnian and did not interact with each other.

The five queens of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Tianyuan Emperor Yuwenyun stood side by side, and the four queens except for the Yuan Tianyuan Empress were all equal wives, but the others had not heard of it!
