"Northern History" contains clouds: "The ancient princes married nine daughters, and the scholars had one wife and two concubines. The "Jin Order" recorded: "The kings put eight concubines; Junjun, Hou, and six concubines. The "Official Character Order" has more rigid rules on officials taking concubines: "There are four concubines in the first and second grades; the third and fourth had three concubines; There were two concubines in the fifth and sixth; The seventh and eighth had a concubine. ”

Marrying Princess Lando, one wife and nine concubines, Lotte can be described as a wife and concubine, some people can't help but say that this article is a kind of Ma Wen. Some people also say that there are only so many human feelings, and there are groups of wives and concubines, and they are unconsciously ashamed.

First of all, Lotte is not a saint, and even a saint has to follow the customs of the countryside and go around in the circle of three wives and four concubines in the feudal society.

In the animal world, especially in groups, there is one of the strongest males who manages the entire group, and even the mating power is always controlled by him. Human beings evolved from animals, and human society is an evolutionary version of the animal world, but it has changed from physical strength to power.

Feudal society is a society in the evolution of human beings, civilization is still in the process of development, nature leaves traces of primitive animal society, power is not only a symbol of identity but also means possession and possession, so each other is not only more than the quantity and quality of wealth, but also more than whose woman, more beautiful than who owns the woman.

In addition to the aforementioned period, in the era of high birth and high mortality rate in ancient China, marrying more wives and taking more concubines was the foundation of a family's reproduction, and the ancient Jin dynasties were a period of frequent wars, that is, in the peaceful years of relatively stable society, large and small conflicts would break out with the surrounding countries every year, because the conquest caused the death of a large number of young men Ding Ling, thus creating a situation of more women and fewer men.

Every time the change of dynasty caused by a large-scale war will cause a large number of population losses, five chaos and Mongolia to destroy Jin and Western Xia, the population loss rate is almost one in ten, if three wives and four concubines are not allowed, I am afraid that China will not only have the disaster of destroying the country, but also have the disaster of extinction.

Looking back from ancient times to the present, try to see that a small country in the Indochina Peninsula today has fought wars with France, the United States, China and neighboring countries for decades, and the result is that there are more women than men.

There is no doubt that the modern advocacy of monogamy is the progress of civilization, but in ancient times the promotion of monogamy is undoubtedly brain-dead, you don't see Bai Juyi's wives and concubines leaving a group of "plain mouths and brute waists" idiom, Su Zizhan has a sigh of "ten years of life and death", in ancient times, it seems that these two people were officialdom, but they were also a group of wives and concubines, not to mention the powerful and powerful.

Therefore, don't look at the three wives and four concubines of the ancients from the perspective of modern people, and regard them as feudal poison, objective existence has an objective reason for existence, that is, the so-called existence is reasonable.

Of course, three wives and four concubines are also three wives and four concubines, and the "wife" in the three wives and four concubines includes the wife, partial wife, and lower wife, etc., and is not limited to the main wife, but the main wife is to officially marry according to the "Zhou Li" three books and six ceremonies.

……

"I'm very tired today, so let's rest early!" Seeing that the sky was getting dark, after the maidservant lit the lamp, Princess Landor said.

The nurse thanked Yi and said: "Your Royal Highness's wedding will not be completed until His Royal Highness arrives at the house of the Horse Lord in the Great Song Dynasty, and it will be completed after ......the ceremony.

Princess Lando's eyebrows raised slightly: "Does the nurse mean that she wants to accompany the maid to accompany his Han people?" ”

In ancient times, there was a folk proverb about the relationship between the horse and the princess in ancient dynasties, "the husband and wife who go to bed, and the monarch and minister who get out of bed" can best explain the relationship between the two. In normal times, the princess and her husband lived separately and could not eat together, so they basically did not share a daily life. If the husband wants to be his husband, he will ask the nurse to summon the horse into his bedroom. And when there is no calling, the husband is not allowed to enter the princess's bedroom.

Therefore, the nurse who waits by the princess's side is the middle role, and she also dominates the husband and wife life of the princess and the colt, and the power is very great.

"That's the Pony!" The nurse adhered to the heavens and persuaded: "Your Highness is now married, don't play a child's temper again!" ”

"What he thinks is beautiful...... Princess Landau snorted lightly, and said: "Sticky Milky Niang, announce that Han people, I have something to ask him!" ”

"It's so late, what did His Highness call him?" Lady Mu Yi asked, but she was shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "The big wedding ceremony has not yet been completed, so why should Your Highness be in a hurry!" ”

Knowing that the sticky nurse would be wrong, Princess Lando's face turned red and said shyly: "Where did the nurse think of it!" ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" It turned out that Princess Lando didn't want Lotte to come to sleep with her, but Sticky Nurse breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "What does that mean, princess?" ”

Princess Lando said slowly: "The male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, I heard that this Han person has a family business in the Southern Dynasty, since this palace is married to this Han man, it is natural to learn to manage his family business......"

"The maid understands, the maid will go and summon the master to see His Highness!" Sticky Nurse understands Landuo's intentions in her heart, although she is Princess Lando's nurse, but in terms of identity, Sticky Yi still has to call herself a servant.

……

"What did Your Highness call me?" After a tiring day, Lotte, who had gone through a lot of motions, was about to rest, when he heard that Princess Landau had ordered someone to pass on him, so he had to come to see him.

Princess Lando looked at Lotte at the moment, and said lightly and reservedly: "This palace is to remind you, tomorrow you will enter the palace with this palace to thank your father and mother, you don't have to snooze and forget!" ”

Originally, it was rumored to see Princess Lando at night, and Lotte was a little reluctant in his heart, hearing Princess Lando speak like this, Lotte had a lot of anger in his heart, but fortunately, taking into account the identity of the other party, he had to say coldly: "Got it!" ”

To say that the appearance of Princess Lando, she is also very dignified and exotic, because of the fact that the Dangxiang Tuoba clan has mixed blood with many nationalities in the past dynasties, coupled with the excellent genes of the elite leaders of the party in the past dynasties, she has an incomplete temperament with the Han people.

But Princess Lando's use of such a tone to speak to herself made Lotte extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

According to the folk customs of previous dynasties, on the third day after marriage, the princess and the concubine entered the palace together to thank them. On the emperor's side, it was a reward and a banquet in the inner court. But Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun really wanted Lotte to leave Xixia as soon as possible, and the wedding only lasted for the first half, so he didn't talk about any rules, and let this unrelated young couple return to the door the next day.

Although the words in her mouth are cold, Princess Lando is very satisfied with Lotte's appearance, the reason why she wants to speak like this, one day out of the prestige of the emperor's family, but also out of her own reserve, in addition to the introduction is dissatisfied with Lotte, who let Lotte win in the Zhenwu Army, Zhuo Luocheng and other areas of Xixia, is the so-called family and country in the world, how can the princess Landuo balance.

Therefore, Lando's mentality towards Lotte is also very contradictory, and even the previous dynasties have this mentality towards foreign princesses.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Lotte said: "If Your Highness has nothing else to order, I will go back!"

"Did Hongu let you go?" Just as Lotte turned around to leave, Princess Lando's cold voice came again.

Lotte turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What is the matter with Her Royal Highness the princess calling me?" ”

Looking at Lotte, Princess Lando said slowly: "This palace has entered the door of your house, and it is also a member of your family, as the so-called male protagonist outside the female protagonist, in the future, the affairs of the Le family's back house will be decided by the palace, if you are a concubine in the future, you must be approved by the palace!" ”

Hearing this, Lotte smiled: "The princess doesn't need to worry about Le's concubine!" ”

"What do you mean?" Princess Landau immediately raised her eyebrows.

Marrying into the Le family is not only a housewife, but also a princess of a country, although Lotte can take a concubine, but it must be approved by his own nod, and Lotte is talking like this, which is obviously provoking his own power.

"I don't want the princess to worry about taking concubines, there is naturally a reason for being a husband!" Lotte said with a smile, but he didn't shy away from anything, and said: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, before Le Mou made a marriage contract with the princess, there were nine concubines in the family, plus Her Royal Highness the princess, the main wife, just one wife and nine concubines, arrived at the courtesy of the prince of the pre-Qin period......"

"You ......" Princess Landor was stunned at first, and then furious.

Listening to Lotte's words, even the nurse on the side was shocked.

Living in the palace since childhood, I have long been accustomed to seeing the deceit of the harem palace fight, the anger on Princess Lando's face quickly dissipated, and said with a smile: "A concubine is a concubine, in the final analysis, it is still not on the stage, don't forget the horse, this palace is not only the wife you are marrying, but also the princess of Daxia, the so-called concubine of the concubine, if the palace is not eye-catching, it will be divorced for the concubine!" ”

Lotte replied: "Your Royal Highness the princess should not forget, Her Royal Highness the princess was only the princess of Daxia before she got married, and after she got married, she could only be a wife, and there was no princess in Le's family, only family, and Le's family was only Le Mou's family!" ”

"You ......" Princess Landau didn't expect Lotte to be so tough.

"Your Highness is angry!" Seeing that the two had not yet officially married, the nurse Mu Yi was so-for-tat, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her. However, he was also very dissatisfied with Lotte's attitude, "Master Horse, since my princess married into the family of Lord Horse, she is the eldest lady of the family, and the affairs of the family are naturally controlled by Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

The princess's nurse was obviously helping the princess, and Lotte smiled and asked, "I don't know what you mean by family affairs?" ”

Sticky Grandma said: "My Royal Highness can't control the things before the concubine, but in the future, the concubine must obtain the consent of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness, as the eldest woman in the family, naturally has the right to manage the accounts in the house, and the daily input expenses of the family must pass through the eyes of His Royal Highness!" ”

Mastering the family's accounts means mastering the family's financial power, which is naturally the responsibility of the eldest woman in the family, and also symbolizes the status of the family.

Lotte laughed: "Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers on weekdays, and she has never taken care of housework, how can she manage the accounts at home?" ”

Lady Sticky Yi replied: "Don't forget, my majesty the Emperor of Great Xia does not count the ordinary gold and silver utensils, and married the princess 50,000 taels of gold, so the accounts in the family are naturally in charge of Her Royal Highness the princess!" ”

In the Song Dynasty, gold and silver were exchanged at a ratio of one to ten, and 50,000 taels of gold were exchanged for exactly 500,000 taels of silver. Hearing this, Lotte couldn't help but scold Li Qianshun for being stingy in his heart, and what made Le Tian even more angry was that the money seemed to have become Princess Lando's personal belongings when he turned a corner.

The next moment, Lotte smiled again and said to Princess Lando: "It's not boasting about being a husband, in the future, the richest person in the Great Song Dynasty will be a husband except for the wealthy royal family; Since His Royal Highness intends to take care of housework for his husband, he can solve problems for his husband, and he can't ask for it, but since His Royal Highness wants to take care of housework, he has to take the school for His Royal Highness to see if His Highness has the ability to manage finances! ”
