Chapter 38: Family Politics
Speaking of which, it is also because the power of the single family is too weak, but Shan Ying is a particularly beautiful kind of girl, and it is normal for someone to rely on the family power to force marriage.
However, Shan Ying can make this determination to take the initiative to marry to her side, which can be regarded as a "shocking" remark, and the most important thing is how she persuaded her family to agree to marry here.
You must know that whether it is the high-ranking families of this world, or the high-ranking families of later generations, they all rely on marriage to maintain the reputation of the family and bring substantial benefits to their own families, to put it bluntly, it is a link between the two parties, and an era of freedom and openness in later generations is not unavoidable, how can this era avoid this situation?
Even if you don't want to get married, even if you have someone you like, in the end, for the sake of the family, you still have to marry someone you don't like and haven't met...... There is nothing more painful for a woman, especially a beautiful woman, to be born in the world.
History has proven countless times that it is not a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful, in case she marries a man who has no ability to protect herself, it is a trivial matter to be remembered by other men, the key is to be killed after being toyed with by other men, or give it to others to continue to be toyed with...... This is the real life is better than death.
But women in ancient times were very resilient and had a strong desire to survive, of course, there was no shortage of Li Qingzhao and Liu Ru were such noble women, but this is not at all the reason why men made women suffer and were finally tortured to death.
Why? It's not fair to women, isn't it?
But the reality is so cruel, even if a man wants to abuse a woman, a woman can only endure it silently, and can't stand up to resist, even if she fights for a little fairness for herself, she can't do it, and it's no wonder that ancient women lived such a long time, because they didn't have the right to choose, only the right to be chosen by others.
Fortunately, Shan Ying is not only a simple woman who is beautiful, the single family is actually a little famous in the territory of Zhao State, has been doing business for generations, is one of the famous local wealthy families, Shan Ying is the fourth in the family, and the only daughter in the family, her three elder brothers are doing business in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and her father simply heard that he is not a person from the Central Plains, but a small clan from outside the Saiwai, one of the small clans of Rouran Tu various departments, because of the endless conquest on the grassland and gradually moved south to the territory of Zhao State, and changed his surname to Shan, and settled in Zhao State from the time of his great grandfather, left and right, began to do business, and operated to a simple generation, the single family has long been a well-known family in Zhao State, but no matter how rich they are, they are just fat sheep raised by the magnates of Zhao State.
It is precisely because the single family is rich that it will be regarded as a piece of fat by the major magnates of the Zhao State, and everyone wants to take a bite, but the problem is that the single family is not only doing business, but also has very frequent trade contacts with the Qin State, and the reason why no one dares to touch the single family until now is also because the single family also operates in the Qin State, and at the same time, the single family is also despised by the magnates of the Zhao State because of the origin of the Rouran people who changed their surnames to the ancestors, and they are also despised by the magnates of the Zhao State in terms of blood, but the Shan family has opened an ordnance institute in the territory of the Qin State, specializing in creating a variety of special ordnance from the Zhao State for the Qin people, therefore, the two countries of Qin and Zhao have been in constant friction recently, but it is always the Qin State that has the upper hand, I have to say that the single family's handwriting is indeed clever, but in the long run...... I'm afraid that I will set myself on fire and bring about my own destruction.
Therefore, the Shan family is also very anxious now, in addition to recruiting diners for the use of the Shan family and protecting the Shan family from being eaten immediately by the magnates of the Zhao State, there is only one way to marry others.
Shan Ying's three elder brothers married the daughters of the three powerful families of Zhao State, the Shi family, the Liu family, and the Jin family, among which the power of the Liu family is also one of the best in Zhao State......
The Shi family is inferior, but the Shi family has been in the army for generations, and they are very good at fighting bravely, and both men and women are ruthless, and they can beat people into cripples on the street at every turn if they don't agree with each other......
The Jin family is much inferior to the previous two, but the daughters of the Jin family are all born with natural beauty, ice muscles and jade bones, and the head of the Jin family, Jin Zhun's family, has two sons and six daughters, and now only two of them are married...... The rest is no matter how the magnates of Zhao State toss, but the Jin family refuses to marry anymore, the reason is very simple, the Jin family operates very well in the spy agency of Zhao State, and the news is very well-informed......
For example, if the state of Zhao is occupied again by the state of Qin...... It is estimated that the daughters of the Jin family will be married to the military nobles of the Qin State by the Jin family immediately, and they will be used to make "friends......
This is the information that Ling Hao learned from Shan Ying after marrying Shan Ying.
Compared with these families, the single family is inferior, and they are always pressing step by step, trying to make the single family compromise is actually such a few families, and the other families either can't get involved, or they are too busy to take care of themselves, or they are not even as good as the single family......
In this way, my mother's family is already very dangerous.
But despite this, Shan Ying's marriage to Qin Guo this time still caused a little fluctuation between Qin and Zhao, and those who have dealt with the Shan family understand that the Shan family has nothing, but there is never a shortage of money, so the Shan family can still protect themselves, after all, money can make ghosts grind.
In addition, the ancestor of the Shan family was born in the Rouran clan, and the force was naturally not wasted, plus he moved south several times, and he also married a woman from Zhao as his wife, so the family genes are also very good.
Ling Hao looked at Shan Ying and understood more than half of it, Shan Ying not only took into account the tenderness of the Central Plains women, but also had the fortitude and courage of the children of the grassland, so although she was only a concubine, Ling Hao liked her character very much and respected her very much.
The dowry is not ungenerous, not only has a lot of dowry money, but also a variety of advanced weapons and armor developed by Zhao Guomoyuan...... Well, in fact, the single family is a middleman who makes the difference.
The Qin State needed all kinds of weapons of the Zhao State for research, and the Shan family secretly built an ordnance station in the Qin State to use it to "single line contact" with the Qin State......
Not to mention anything else, just because the Shan family has this kind of left and right, flexible courage and courage are enough for Ling Hao to praise the Shan family.
The mother's family is still good, with courage and strength, but one person fights alone, and still can't do the giant hegemons of Zhao, so he has to ask Qin for help, whenever Zhao oppresses the single family, the Qin side will also be very cooperative to send troops to attack the border of Zhao, and it is not the first time that Qin and Zhao have played this kind of drama, but the single family has done it too perfectly, almost making Zhao Guo defenseless, of course, the single family actually hopes that Zhao Guo will collapse, because compared to Zhao Guo's crazy squeeze of the single family, Qin's attitude towards the single family is much friendlier and much more clever。
On the Qin side, first sent a group of scouts with good strength to come to the single family to "do chores", and by the way, the work was handed over to the single family, and the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant.
But although the magnates of the Zhao State couldn't catch the handle of the Shan family, they naturally thought that there might be a secret communication between the Shan family and the Qin State, so except for the three brothers who were doing business outside, Shan Ying never went out again, because she was afraid that her unintentional actions might bring disaster to the Shan family......
This is a smart woman, although she hasn't been together for a long time, Shan Ying's performance is still remarkable.
If she was a man, she might be her own competitor.
"Husband, is there any news?" Shan Ying slowly raised her head from Ling Hao's arms and asked softly.
"Naturally, there is news, Xuan Qingke is also staring at the carving sword platform, as soon as there is news, she will naturally use crows to pass it over. Ling Hao only held her in his arms with peace of mind, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, and the previous impetuous mood slowly calmed down.
If the women of this era are all women like Shan Ying...... Then I will definitely be very happy, and I may wake up laughing when I dream.
There is a kind of woman who doesn't need to express her position too much, she just needs to serve her husband quietly, so that she can get her husband's appreciation and affirmation, and it is easier to gain her husband's trust and respect, Shan Ying is such a woman.
Several generations of the family have been doing business and practicing martial arts, and the Rouran people are a tribe that grew up on horseback, and they will naturally not be abandoned when they arrive at Shan Ying, I heard that Shan Ying began to bend the bow and learn to ride and shoot when she was two or three years old, she once hunted alone, hunted a wolf, and the wolf skin was finally peeled off by her father, and gave her a wolf skin jacket, as a proof of her "strong and brave".
However, Shan Ying has never been reluctant to wear it, but this wolf skin jacket has been treasured by her, and this time she is about to get married, so naturally it was also sent to Ling Mansion as a dowry.
Not only that, Shan Ying himself also has the strength of landing on the ground and locking the triple, and one arrow can break the stone and break the jade, on the other hand, Ling Hao himself is really not even half as good as Shan Ying......
However, in bed, Shan Ying has never been Ling Hao's opponent, after all, Ling Hao has been a human being in two lives, and the study of men and women is far from what Shan Ying can imagine...... Hey, hey, hey.
In the past few days, Shan Ying would always be flayed into a little sheep by Ling Hao, and then tossed by Ling Hao so soft that after the cave room that night, Shan Ying could barely get out of bed and walk around the next afternoon.
I have to say that Shan Ying looks weak and can't help but be windy, in fact, she is very material, but she may be afraid of attracting the covetousness of others, so every time she sees someone, she will wrap herself like a zongzi, looking thin and weak, and when others come to propose, she will also have an illusion of "not worthy of the name", which is also a point of her smarter.
But here in Ling Hao, this is not a problem, he has studied the whole body of other girls several times in the past few days......
Shan Ying not only has martial arts, but also likes to read, especially the Book of Poetry, Shang Junshu and other works, she also loves to read military books, and she is also good at female red, and her cooking skills are also good.
