Chapter 49: Three Wives and Four Concubines

He used his baby Lori daughter to form a deep friendship with the adult, and the adult used Nalan to envelop the shrewd and capable rich second-generation Cathay, and at the same time, it became a matter of friendship with the little Lori Nalan.

He has not suffered a loss, since he became a 'friend' with Lord He, this lord has risen all the way, and now he has become the governor of Shandong.

In order to thank the adults for their support to him, he carefully prepared a treasure for him. On this day, he plans to invite the adults to come over to 'appreciate the treasure'.

I got off work very early with adults, and when I came home, I was very happy to see my son Fengshen Yinde practicing martial arts.

Feng Shen Yinde is five years old this year, Qianlong's quasi-son-in-law. Under the careful cultivation of adults and Ji Wen, now he is both civil and military, a talent, handsome and chic at a young age, he is really loved by everyone, flowers bloom, and cars have flat tires.

In Brother Li's words: This time, how can the word 'handsome' be so good? !

"Come here, give you a poem!" and the adults called Feng Shen Yinde.

"The sea, O water; Horses, four-legged! Xiao Fengshen Yinde wiped the sweat from his forehead and groaned in a low voice.

"Good poetry! Very good, very emotional, the tone and intonation are also very ideal, and the sense of rhythm is very strong...... "Ji Wen sees it in her eyes, and the beauty is in her heart."

In her heart, the family can be reunited, harmonious, and not worry about food and clothing.

Isn't happiness supposed to be like this?!

And adults don't think so: men must have their own careers, and they must constantly surpass themselves and challenge the peak.

If you don't play with your life now, you will play with your life in the future.

What is life: to be born, to live.

For the sake of the family, for the sake of yourself, for the sake of Jinba men's clothing!

Live by any means.

"Sir, dinner is ready." Liu Quan walked over and said.

"Yo, I almost forgot if you didn't say it." He patted his head, turned to Ji Wen and said, "I have to go to Su Ling'a in the evening, so I won't come back for dinner!" ”

"What's the matter?!" Ji Wen asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've said it a long time ago, and it's not appropriate if I don't go."

"Alright then, let's talk about it when you get back!"

"Huh?! Is there something wrong with you?! If it matters, I won't go. ”

"It's not a big deal, you better go get down to business first, and I'll talk to you when I get back in the evening."

"You better say it now, otherwise I won't be sure if I go."

"Well, okay then. A while ago, I heard that the Chen family, a merchant in the capital, has a daughter named Chang Erren (this name is very good, hey...... But there is a record in the official history that she really called this name. It's terrible to be uneducated! She is known as the 'eldest second aunt'. He is twenty-eight years old, extremely beautiful, full of poetry and books, and has excellent four arts. I want to take her in and make you a concubine! ”

Look at this daughter-in-law, do you want to take it?!

"I'm afraid this is not a big deal, right?!" And the adults were dumbfounded: Rub, and this good thing?!

"I take care of the kids all day, and I don't have time to take care of you. You do all the big things, how can every caring person around you take care of your diet and daily life?! Listen to me and take her in! ”

"No, haven't you forgotten?! You are my Yoremi, and I only love this jar in this life. "And the adults said affectionately, as if you persuade me again, I will be anxious with you.

Feng Shen Yinde stood aside and laughed: It's really hypocritical!

"Okay, we're all old husbands and wives, so don't pretend to me. Just your little thoughts......."

"Hehe, since Mrs. is so insistent, our brothers have been in a relationship for so many years, if I don't agree, it will seem that I am not close to people. In this way, she is the only one, and don't mention anything about concubines to me in the future......"

"Dead ......"

And adults are very happy, and they are so happy that they can't do it before they go out.

If he doesn't have the idea of taking a concubine at all, it is pure nonsense.

Three wives and four concubines, there have been since ancient times.

The so-called three wives refer to "one wife and two equal wives"; The four concubines refer to the "four partial concubines".

Everyone understands that the person you marry for the first time is called a wife (we all have, have had or will have it). Then you marry the second and third, that is, your second wife and third wife, and the status of both of them is equal wives.

A flat wife does not need to pay a concubine to the main wife, and the children born to them are also concubines, and they enjoy basically the same inheritance rights as the children born to the main wife (but they are not exactly the same, the children born to the main wife have the priority of inheritance, and the children born to the equal wife are secondary). In addition, the status of the equal wife is not as good as that of the main wife, and the main wife still needs to be called the eldest sister (eldest sister).

Therefore, the flat wife is also called the big two heads or the big multi-headed, and it is also called the opposite room, that is, it is equal to the main house (main wife). (Note: Qianlong did not say a flat wife before.) )

It can be seen that the advantages of this hand-picked goods lie.

In ancient times, especially the marriage system, the most important thing was to come first and come first. In its contemporary, it's just the opposite.

The prevailing trend now is that the latter will prevail over the legal, and the illegal will prevail over the legal.

This was put in antiquity, joke! She didn't dare to give them the guts.

The declaration of the main wife: I am the eldest sister, who am I afraid of?!

After talking about wives, let's talk about concubines.

Concubines have the lowest status in the family. Although she bears the obligation of giving birth to children, she cannot enjoy the treatment of a "wife". Why? The original reason was very simple, the family background of a woman who is a wife is higher than that of a concubine. Concubines generally came from lowly families, or even gifts from the defeated side.

Therefore, the wife is "married", and the concubine is "accepted", and the property sent to the Yue's family when marrying the wife is called the "dowry", and the property given when taking a concubine is called "the capital for buying a concubine".

The "Tang Law and Discussion" stipulates: "Concubines are cheap", "Concubines are bought and sold", and "Concubines and guest girls are married to one and a half years in prison." "If a concubine is promoted to a wife, it is a violation of the criminal law, and once the incident occurs, the two of them will serve a year and a half in prison together, and they will still be divorced after the incident.

The law determines the dehumanization of concubine women, which has created the popularity of two words: ** and torture.

To put it bluntly, the main work of a concubine is two: first: to sleep together, and second: to accompany the whole.

It's miserable.

However, when you understand the specific difficulty of these two tasks, you will feel even more miserable.

Concubines sleep together, and they can't sleep together all night. That is, after the husband has finished venting, smoked a cigarette after the incident, and fell asleep, then you have to get dressed and get out.

Who's going to accompany you?

Wife or wife.

As for having children, forget it!

Whether you can survive or not, how to take care of your children?!

Next, she has to face the most difficult part of the job: rectification!

Her husband may be very happy with her: for example, some bondage, dripping wax, tickling, ice cubes, whipping, incitement, hanging, piercing, clamping, riding, wooden horse, hanging heavy objects, suffocation, etc., etc.

If you have enough masochistic tendencies, and you're good at it. Then you have a good chance of gaining the favor of your husband. In other words, you are cool and your husband is cool at the same time. At this time, it is time for the wife to be unhappy.

The way of a wife is not as interesting as that of a husband, including: insulting, scolding, buttoning, beating, pulling hair, kicking, confinement...... In a word: I will kill you.

Don't you feel very lucky?!

You're wrong.

Don't forget the saying: happiness is relative.

Fortunately, if you are not happy, you see who you compare with.

Although there are no three wives and four concubines in modern times, everyone can have a wife, and no one is allowed to be an exception.

Fair enough.

In ancient times, as long as people were rich and powerful, the eldest wife didn't care about it, and they could marry as much as they wanted.

you off!

The most people who have wives and concubines are emperors.

Emperor Wu of Jin, ** 10,000 beauties

Are you convinced?!

Ming Xiaozong, a daughter-in-law.

You're balanced all at once.

This is the theory of relativity.

The system of three wives and four concubines has seriously damaged the personal interests of women and exacerbated the hierarchical differentiation between men and women. However, there is one thing to be sure.

In ancient times, leftover men's bags were 'distributed'.

That is, as long as you tell the government that you are single and want to find a partner. The government will find you a daughter-in-law the next day. Of course, the quality is not guaranteed.

Here's the secret: I think it's good to leave a post for the brothers, and I'll refine it.

In the Jin Dynasty, a woman had to marry when she reached a certain age, otherwise the government would forcibly find her a partner. According to the Book of Jin and Emperor Wu (Volume 3), Sima Yan demanded in the winter and October of the ninth year of Taishi, "If the parents do not marry in the seventeenth year of the female year, the elder will be matched." This means that when a girl reaches the age of 17, if her parents do not marry off her daughter, the local leaders will find her a husband and force her to marry by force.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, if a girl did not marry at the right age and broke the law, the family would be imprisoned, which is what the "Song Shu Zhou Lang Biography" said - "If a woman does not marry at fifteen years, her family will sit on it." ”
