Huang Yueying checked all the silk books, took away all the ones she liked, but didn't care about jewelry or anything, and took two pieces at random. As Sun Ce expected, Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng did not pick the best or the worst, but only chose two medium ones. In contrast, the pearl necklace that Feng Wan wore around her neck was the best of the few they chose. It's just that Feng Wan wore it around his neck before he came out of the account, which was too anxious, and Sun Ce was a little unhappy in his heart at that time.

Although Sun Ce only glanced at the pearl necklace, Yuan Quan knew his thoughts, and immediately said, "This is what I chose for Awan." ”

"Really?" Sun Ce said with a smile: "Sister has a good eye, this string of beads is indeed a good match for Awan." ”

"Ah Heng and Ah Chu are young, Yin Ji is pregnant again, and there can't be no one around the general, I think Ah Wan is very suitable, take advantage of the general's rest in Pingyu, show the parents of both sides, and do this matter, so as not to be talked about. Feng Jun is the old department of his father, and he is also a person who has been a lieutenant of Sili, Awan's willingness to be a concubine is an infatuation with the general, and the general can't treat her slowly because of this. ”

Sun Ce was slightly stunned, then glanced at Feng Wan, and saw that Feng Wan's eyes were timid and his smile was not very natural, so he understood a little. He nodded. "Listen to your sister, and when you turn around, you will show your parents, and Na Awan will be your concubine."

Feng Wan bit her lip, lowered her head, and said nothing. Although she had been mentally prepared, she still had some regrets.

Yuan Quan reached out and grabbed Feng Wan and smoothed her hair. "Sister, although it is said that she is a concubine, but the general is different from others, he pities women the most, and he will definitely not treat you badly. Besides, he is a young man, and his future achievements are immeasurable, if he dominates one side, even if he is a concubine, he is not comparable to the wife of an ordinary official eunuch, you don't have any regrets in your heart, serve him with your heart, you know? ”

Feng Wan nodded, and the pimple in his heart unconsciously turned invisible.

Sun Ce saw it in his eyes, and secretly admired Yuan Quan's good methods, and decided Feng Wan's name in a few words, and made her convinced. The Han Dynasty was an era when there was a serious disconnect between social practice and theory, Confucianism had become the ruling philosophy, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, and the status of wives and concubines was not the same, but in actual life, concubines did not have a status at all like later generations. A concubine is a young wife and enjoys the same treatment as a lady in many ways, even at the legal level, a concubine is very different from a maid. In addition, marriage has a very heavy purpose of interests, and many times it is not based on personal preferences, while concubines are more personal aesthetics, so the status of concubines in the family is not low, especially when the husband is strong.

The biggest difference between wives and concubines is the right of inheritance, the son born to the wife is the son-in-law and has the right to inherit, and the son born to the concubine is the concubine and has no inheritance right. This is related to the interests of the family, and it is also the foundation for maintaining social stability, which cannot be touched, and has become a social consensus. Once the name is determined, the concubine has no hope of becoming a wife, otherwise she will be ridiculed. If there is no special reason, the concubine cannot inherit the title, so he can only work his own.

Later generations may seem that this is just a dispute over status, but for the parties in the middle of the game, this is the biggest inequality, and the interests involved are unimaginable. For ordinary people who don't have a title, it's okay to say that at most, it's a matter of sharing a little bit of family property, but for the family of the feudal monarch, this problem is very serious. It is not easy to be a marquis, many people have been officials for a lifetime, even if they are up to the three princes and nine kings, they may not be able to be marquis. The heir can inherit the title without doing anything, and the concubine has no hope no matter how capable he is. In the face of the greatest interest of the knighthood, no one can laugh at it.

Yuan Quan can give in to everything else, but she will not give up a single step to the position of Yuan Heng's wife. She said that these were not so much to comfort Feng Wan as to remind Sun Ce. No matter how ridiculous you are, Yuan Quan can accept it, once she threatens Yuan Heng's status as a wife, she will have a different attitude.

Sun Ce may not necessarily agree with Yuan Quan's opinion, but he does need someone to control these women, but the person he agrees with is not Yuan Heng, the legal wife, but Yuan Quan. Yuan Heng is still young, and she is also known for being virtuous in history, but because of her embarrassing status, she has no chance to show whether she has the ability to control the harem, but Yuan Quan undoubtedly has such an ability.

It's really strange that she didn't leave any record in history. It can be seen that people still have to look at luck, that is, they count diamonds, and if they don't give her a chance, she can't shine. This also has something to do with the times, what kind of daughter does the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes have, and who left a name? Yuan Heng also only left the title of Mrs. Yuan in history, without a name, and was not as famous as Cao Cao's daughter Cao Jie.

After sending Feng Wan and Huang Yueying away, Sun Ce took out the jewelry that had been put away in advance and handed it to Yuan Quan. "These are for you."

Yuan Quan looked at it. "Thank you for your kindness, but our sisters can't accept it."

Sun Ce smiled: "Are you worried that Feng Wan and the others have opinions?" Don't worry, they have all been cleaned up and subdued by you, and no one dares to have an opinion. ”

Yuan Quan glanced at Sun Ce and smiled. "If you don't dare to have an opinion, it's better that no one has an opinion. Not to mention that your mother and sister haven't taken it yet, Yin Ji is pregnant with your flesh and blood, and you can't add more, just say that you are so short of money now, and you can't reward it casually. It is better to reward the soldiers first, and do not chill their hearts, thinking that you only have women in your eyes. ”

Sun Ce sat down cross-legged in front of Yuan Quan, holding his cheeks, tilting his head, and staring at Yuan Quan's eyes. "Sister, can I ask you a question?"

Yuan Quan's eyes flashed, avoiding Sun Ce's gaze. "You want to ask me, I obviously had an appointment with me in advance, but I turned around and went to find Feng Wan again, what do I think in my heart, right?"

Sun Ce nodded. He really wanted to ask Yuan Quan this question. Yuan Quan is too rational, rational to make him afraid.

"Of course I have an idea." Yuan Quan was silent for a while. "But who can blame this? This is my life, and I can only blame myself if I want to blame. You've been good enough to me, it's me who missed this opportunity, can I blame you? Feng Wan has always liked you, and you like her too, she disregards etiquette and is bent on marrying you, what's wrong with that? Can I blame her? Since I can't blame you or her, I can only blame myself and my life. ”

Sun Ce shook his head. "I don't believe it."

Yuan Quan looked at Sun Ce's eyes for a while, and laughed silently, but he smiled a little helplessly. "So what do you think I should think? Hate you for being ruthless, or hate Feng Wan for being shameless? General, you will at least be a feudal monarch in the future, and you may even win the world, even according to the strictest regulations of the Spring and Autumn Period, the twelve daughters of the Son of Heaven and the nine daughters of the princes, you will inevitably have a group of concubines, do I still have to complain one by one? ”

Sun Ce was speechless for a moment. He groaned for a long time and sighed faintly. "Sister, you say that...... It's embarrassing. He stood up and looked at Yuan Quan. No matter how urgent Feng Wan's matter is, it can't be urgent about your business. If the name is not right, it will not be good, sister, I will marry you first. Otherwise, even if you wronged yourself, others may not be able to obey you. ”

Yuan Quan's face was red, and he wanted to speak again, and then he reacted again and looked at Sun Ce in surprise. "What did you just say, marry me?"

Sun Ce smiled. "Can't you?"

"Of course not."

"I said yes, then yes."

"I said no, I just can't." Yuan Quan stood up, and just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly changed, and he fell to the ground with a "sigh". Sun Ce's eyes were quick, and he hugged her before she fell. Yuan Quan grabbed Sun Ce's arm tightly, pulled out the Xiang Yu knife from his waist, and put it across his neck, and before he could speak, tears poured out. "General, are you going to force me to die?"

Sun Ce's eyebrows furrowed, staring at Yuan Quan for a long time, and sighed. He took the knife from Yuan Quan's hand. "Sister, why are you in this trouble?"

Yuan Quan's face was pale, and his eyes were tearful and smiling. "This is my life. The things of life are always eight or nine if they are not satisfied. I know enough to be loved by the general, and I dare not complain. ”
