Chapter 39: Marry a Ghost

(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes, recommendation votes are too miserable, and please take care of most of them!) )

Han Sui sighed when he heard the words and said, "Brother Ma, virtuous nephew, I don't know if I should say something?" ”

Ma Teng said: "Why should the virtuous brother be polite? Just because of the lifelong friendship between you and me, what should I not say? Ma Chao also said: "Uncle has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, and the little nephew listens to it!" ”

Han Sui nodded slightly, and said with a straight face: "The little girl and the virtuous nephew have been engaged since childhood, which was originally a match made in heaven and a great joy, but the little girl died young, and it is really my only life!" I am also ashamed of my brother and nephew! With that, he got up and bowed deeply to Ma Teng and Little Pony!

Brother Xiao Ma hurriedly dodged, bowed down and said, "Isn't my uncle's move a ruin to my little nephew?" Manpower is exhausted, and it is destined by God, the fact of Miss Han is a pity, but it is not the fault of my uncle! ”

Ma Teng also said: "What Meng Qi said is very true, the elder brother doesn't have to blame himself, if you want to blame, you can only blame the dog for not having this blessing." ”

Han Sui shook his head and said: "Although what the eldest brother and the virtuous nephew said is reasonable, but the covenant is ashamed, I have two daughters under my knees, the eldest daughter promised Yan Xing, and the younger daughter died, in addition, I also have a righteous daughter Yang Wan, dignified in appearance, surnamed Qing Xianshu, the year will be and Lu, is the daughter of Yang Qiu in Jiuquan, if the eldest brother and the virtuous nephew do not dislike, I am willing to make the decision to allow Yang Wan to the virtuous nephew as a wife, one can continue the marriage covenant between the two families, and the other can also calm the regret in my heart!" ”

It's no wonder that Han Sui felt ashamed, when Brother Xiao Ma was full moon, the two families decided on this family affair, it can be said that Han Ying is already half of the Ma family, but now she has died before she has passed the door, how did you Han Sui raise her daughter? Isn't it tantamount to losing one's credibility? If it weren't for the excellent relationship between the two families, this matter would easily cause misunderstandings and even resentment. Therefore, Han Sui tried his best to save this family business, and he did not hesitate to recognize the righteous daughter to marry without a daughter under his knees.

Ma Teng laughed, and was about to agree, but Brother Xiao Ma took the first step and said: "This matter must not be done!" ”

Han Sui was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "This is the best of both worlds, why did the virtuous nephew say that it can't?" ”

Ma Teng was the same, and said with a sad face: "What do you mean by this? Uncle Ru is really well-intentioned, and I also know General Yang Qiu, and he is also a heroic hero of the separatist side, plus you have the relationship with Uncle Han, is it not worthy of you? ”

Ma Chao said very seriously: "Father and Uncle Han have misunderstood, how dare the child do that ungrateful act?" Uncle Han treats the child like a parent, and on the occasion of the child's full moon, he kisses his beloved daughter and gives him a treasure gun, how can he not repay such a great kindness? Therefore, the child is willing to marry a ghost as his wife, form a yin marriage with Miss Han, and recognize Uncle Han as his father-in-law, and in the future, my second son will give the Han family the surname Han, with the righteousness of the whole family! ”

Han Sui was completely petrified when he heard this, his expression was excited, his eyes were slightly red, and his hands trembled. Ma Teng was also stunned, but his eyes were full of appreciation.

Yin marriage has existed since ancient times, as early as the Yin Shang era, also known as ghost marriage, ghost marriage. It is that after the young man and girl are engaged, they die before they can get married. At that time, it was believed that if they were not married, their ghosts would cause trouble and disturb the family. Therefore, it is necessary to hold a yin marriage ceremony for them, and finally bury them together, become husband and wife, and bury them together. lest there be a lonely grave in the fields of the men and women.

There are also boys and girls who die before they are engaged. Out of love and missing their children, the old people think that they failed to choose a mate for them during their lifetime, and they must marry them after death and fulfill their responsibilities as parents. In fact, this is the sustenance of human feelings. In addition, at that time, people were generally superstitious about the so-called "feng shui" of cemeteries, believing that the appearance of a lonely grave would affect the prosperity of the descendants of the family.

Because yin marriage consumes manpower and material resources in society and is meaningless, it was once banned. "Zhou Li" cloud: "It is forbidden to move the burial and marry the dead." But this trend has never been eradicated, especially some big families, and the big families attach great importance to this matter. For example, Cao Chong, Cao Chong's favorite son in history, died at the age of thirteen, so Cao Ying hired the deceased Miss Zhen as Cao Chong's wife and buried them together.

Generally speaking, Yin marriage is a marriage between a dead person and a dead person, and the living and the dead also exist, but only for a living woman marrying a dead man, commonly known as "widowed!". It is a unique thing for a living man to marry a dead woman, because the status of women at that time was far lower than that of men. "Once the marriage contract is made, a woman is born into her husband's family and dies as a ghost of her husband's family.

Brother Xiao Ma also has a purpose in doing this, the main purpose is to win over Han Sui, Han Sui is always a time bomb in the land of Xiliang, he doesn't want to repeat history, so that the old lady was killed and the father was driven out of Xiliang. Secondly, he didn't want to marry Yang Wan as his wife, Ma Chao's wife in history was indeed surnamed Yang, and most of them were this Yang Wan.

And Yang Qiu is a small warlord who is attached to Han Sui. Ma Chaozhong Cao Ying and Han Sui fought against the intermittent plan to cut off Han Sui's hand, and with a pair of five, the sword chopped the horse to play, cut down Liangxing, but Yang Qiu escaped with his surname, after the Cao and was reused, Zheng Gan, Lu Shui, Pingding Guanzhong, the official to the general Kou, the special advance, the Marquis of Linjing, has been guarding the land of Xiliang, and finally died well.

The second purpose is what Brother Xiao Ma expects the most, although the Han Dynasty can have three wives and four concubines, but there is only one wife, the ancients said: "The princes have no two concubines", which means that even the princes of the Son of Heaven cannot marry two wives at the same time. Therefore, the ancients generally only had one wife, and the others were concubines. There is a clear line between wives and concubines.

The wife is also known as the wife, and the children born to them are the sons, and the sons can be knighted. After the death of the concubine, it is not included in the clan tablet, and the children born are "concubines" and cannot be attacked, but they can share the family property. If you don't have a son-in-law, you can attack the knight.

The current Ma Chao has the soul of modern people, although he selfishly likes to have a group of wives and concubines, but the wife and concubine system is indeed an extremely unsurnamed, extremely cruel and ruthless system. Because it brought the "class" into the family, into the people who shared the same bed, into the siblings, and forcibly divided the family into two different classes, which was really a great mockery of the surname.

Brother Pony is now powerless to break this system, so he can only adopt a compromise solution, and marrying a ghost as a wife can solve this problem. With this "ghost wife" as a pretense, then the women in his future can be said to be all concubines or wives. In this way, there is no hierarchy in the family, and there is no distinction between descendants and descendants. What's more, because the real wife is in name only, he may even marry women from multiple powerful families in the future, otherwise it is impossible for those who have a certain status to marry their daughters to you as concubines.

It must be said that the idea that Xiao Ma came up with on the spot is indeed a wonderful method that can be counted in one fell swoop, but there is something wrong with it. Because yin marriage has always been a marriage between two dead people, and the social constraints on women at that time were not as harsh as in the later Song and Ming dynasties, and there was no rise to marry a dead person's "widow", and now one is alive and the other is dead, how can yin marriage be achieved?

Han Sui also thought of this after being excited, frowned and said: "The virtuous nephew has a heart, but the yin marriage is a matter of the underworld, how can the two of you achieve a yin marriage with one yin and one yang?" ”

Brother Xiao Ma didn't answer when he heard this, but took out a dagger and turned his head to cut off a large section of his long hair, and said: "Sage Yun: The body is skinned, and the parents are accepted; Don't dare to destroy, the beginning of filial piety! Today, I am temporarily buried with Miss Han with my broken hair, and I also want to marry Miss Han's tablet and go home, and accompany me at night, and her name will be included in the genealogy of the Ma family, and the position of the wife will never change! Does Uncle Han think so? ”

"This" Han Sui was so excited when he heard this, his eyes were slightly red with emotion, if it weren't for Ma Teng's lack of expression, he would have agreed a long time ago.

Ma Teng also very much agreed with Brother Xiaoma's filial piety, and stroked his palms and said: "My son's method is feasible, first, it can continue the marriage between you and me, and secondly, it can also end the heart of the virtuous brother, how can I not approve!" ”

"Good!" Han Sui was overjoyed, patted Brother Xiaoma on the shoulder and praised: "The virtuous nephew really has the style of a father, and the act of marrying a ghost as a wife has never been seen in ancient and modern times, isn't the virtuous nephew afraid of being criticized?" ”

Brother Xiao Ma shook his head and said, "Those who are afraid, nothing can be done!" This matter should be sooner rather than later, the zodiac should be selected as soon as possible to salute, and the little nephew will go to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that there will not be many times to stay in Xiliang! ”

"Meet the Son of Heaven?" The two were amazed when they heard this.

Brother Pony nodded, and then said the things that had happened in the past half a month with slight changes, including the secret of the saddle pedals.

When the two of them heard this, they fell into petrification again, Ma Teng was better, at least he knew the news of Xiao Ma's victory, but Han Sui didn't know anything, he didn't even know the saddle pedals, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

At this point, the secret of the saddle pedal must not be kept. No matter how clever the art of riding and archery is, it is impossible to completely avoid casualties, and Brother Pony lost more than one saddle pedal during the Southern Huns, maybe it has been discovered and copied by someone at this time.

In order to completely cripple the grassland people, Xiao Ma didn't mind that Han Sui also got a piece of the pie, anyway, he was a little powerless to deal with Wu Heng and Xianbei alone. But with Han Sui's intervention, it is easy to do, the land under Han Sui's jurisdiction borders Xianbei, and the Xianbei people often plunder the border.

After a long time, Ma Teng stood up suddenly, and couldn't help laughing: "My son's move is really a great good, the rise of the Ma family is promising, and I will bathe and change clothes to worship the ancestors later!" "He looked very excited.

Han Sui had a complicated expression, stared at Brother Xiao Ma for a while, and said: "The talent of the virtuous nephew is ancient and unprecedented, no wonder Brother Changchun is full of wind in the past few days, and he is not worried about the food and grass of the army at all, I don't know if the horse harness can give me a look!" ”

"Why not? The little nephew took a pair for his uncle to take back and imitate! After that, he went out in person and brought in a pair of harness that Hu Lei had prepared on his body.

Ma Teng said with a guilty face: "Brother Han, don't be weird! It's not that my brother doesn't mean to deliberately hide it from you, this move was created by Meng Qi, and it's really inconvenient for me to tell you! ”

Han Sui shook his head and sighed: "It's not about the eldest brother, the materials captured by the virtuous nephew to break the Southern Huns this time are enough to cover the consumption of the eldest brother's tens of thousands of troops for a year, but the younger brother does not have this blessing, most of my subordinates are unruly Qiang soldiers, once the food and grass are insufficient, my subordinates may have to plunder the local people." Therefore, he wanted to unite with his eldest brother to attack Dong Zhuo's four counties in Liangzhou, firstly, to solve the problem of grain and grass, and secondly, to appease these Qiang soldiers. ”
