By the end of the year, the weather was getting colder and colder day by day. In the allied camp, Chen Wan, who had lived in the camp tent of Yifeng of the Wuzhou Army for nearly half a month, found that he did not come, this was very accurate in the past, and he came on time at this time of the month, never postponed or advanced, but this month, three days have passed since the time when it should have appeared, but there is no trace of it. Probably finally married and very happy after marriage, she can feel an unprecedented sense of belonging, security and love, this is the happiest and most nourishing time in her life. married the person she wanted to marry the most, although they were separated for a few years, but when they met again, she found that today's Yi Feng is more gentle and considerate than the original Yuan Hao, and she still does not lose the masculine and mature side of a man. Immersed in a happy life after marriage, in a short period of time, she has changed like a person when she was a girl, her face is more ruddy, her skin is shiny, and her coiled hair seems to have become darker, especially when she feels a little thinner, she has gained a lot of weight and become plump.

"I may have." The maid was combing Chen Wan's long hair, and she was wearing a high bun that is said to be very popular among the noblewomen in Daxing City in the Central Plains today. Chen Wan sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the curtain, and suddenly thought of a possibility. "Ah, child!"

"Really, ma'am?" The maid suddenly stopped and asked in surprise.

Chen Wan nodded and said, "It's been three days late for the menstrual affair to come, and I feel that I am different." Maybe it's the feeling of being a mother. ”

Normally, even a good doctor has to wait 40 days before he can be sure whether he is pregnant. Mere interruption of menstruation does not prove that you are pregnant. But Chen Wan just felt this way, and felt that she was pregnant. Sometimes, this mother's intuition is still very accurate.

"It's so good, the slave will go find the doctor right away."

"No need, even if you're pregnant, the doctor can't see it now." Chen Wan took Yahuan Xiaoshi's hand. chuckled.

"Do you want to go and sue the marshal, let the marshal come back early tonight."

"No need, Brother Hao will rest over there tonight." Chen Wan used a side to refer to the new entry Manyue. Manyue has been included in the Yi family, and she also held a very lively wedding at the beginning, and Su Zhi of the Ahui clan was very arrogant and generous, providing her daughter Manyue with a dowry three times that of Awan. This incident made Chen Wan very unhappy. Although on the surface, she did not object to Yi Feng Na Manyue's entry. But secretly I was annoyed. Originally, she had a good impression of Manyue, especially when Manyue's sister married Mohui, speaking of which, she has always regarded Mohui as her brother, and after the marriage of the two families, Manyue is also considered a relative. But she didn't think about it, she pitied her for Manyue's recent loss of her fiancé at first, but Manyue had already stepped in sideways and squeezed into the Yi family to become her husband's fifth concubine. Suddenly. Chen Wan already had no good impression of Manyue, and she shirked her physical discomfort and did not participate in Manyue's introductory banquet. In the past few days, she and Manyue have not seen each other again. Manyue has a big tent of her own, Yi Feng rested here yesterday, and will sleep there today.

"That brute moon is really a vixen, shameless, it's been less than two months since the fiancé died, and the first seven have just passed, and the handsome man is already being pestered here. Madame Vain used to be kind to her, but she didn't want to be such a vicious woman. Shameless, no chastity. "Xiao Shi was originally the maid of the daughter of a Han official in Liaoxi, but last year the little lady suddenly fell ill and died, and the lord's family sent the daughter's maids out of the house. In the end, Xiaoshi was bought back by Duluo's caravan, and Luluo gave her to Chen Wan. The owner of the small poem was originally from Daxing to Liaoxi to be an official, so the values of the small poem are still the same set in the Central Plains, for the death of her fiancé in less than two months, she pestered Yi Feng to marry into the Shuai Mansion as a fifth aunt, she is really difficult to accept and recognize. Since following Chen Wan, Xiao Shi felt the goodness of this new master everywhere, and at this time, she naturally wanted to share the same hatred with the master and scold the fox girl. Even she felt that her uncle was a little not, and she just accepted her own little lady here, and in a blink of an eye, she was fascinated by the fox, and immediately included the shameless one in the door.

Seeing Xiaoshi's such a loyal expression, Chen Wan smiled, "You haven't been here for a long time, but in fact, the customs outside the Saiwai are very different from those in the Central Plains." The etiquette of the Han family pays attention to ethics and principles, and respects the beginning and the end, even if the husband dies, he often requires the widow to keep the festival. However, the Hu people are completely different from the Central Plains etiquette and customs, these Hu people outside the Saiwai have a system of succession, after the death of the father, the son takes the woman of the father who is not the biological mother-son relationship as his wife, or after the death of the elder brother, the younger brother takes the widow as his wife. This custom is true outside the Saiwai, whether it is the Tiele people, the Turkic people, or the Xi, Khitan and other ethnic groups. The father dies and the son succeeds, the brother dies and the younger brother succeeds, and the inheritance of the younger generation is the longest, but the inheritance of the higher status cannot be separated from the generation and the lower status is the traditional custom that has not changed for thousands of years. It is difficult to accept in the eyes of our Han people, but the Hu people have been like this from generation to generation. Wang Zhaojun, who married into the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, and the princesses who were pro-grassland, also had to follow this succession system. When their husbands die, they have to marry their husband's brother or son.

Xiao Shi has also heard of this kind of step-marriage system, and has always found it incredible. How can a son marry his father's woman, even if he is not his biological mother, but this is also a mother-son relationship, isn't this incest? Mother and son, uncle and sister-in-law" are so barbaric, how can there be such a custom? ”

Chen Wan has lived outside the Saiwai for many years, and she knows these things very well. In the Saiwai, life is hard, and the tribe also practices monogamy and polygamy as in the Central Plains. Under this system, the woman moves to the man's family after getting married, and there is always a feeling of loss for the woman's family, thinking that it is not cost-effective to work hard to raise her daughter, but in the end she marries in vain. Men also felt that marrying a wife not only enabled them to obtain a wife and start a family, but also added an important labor force. Therefore, later the custom was to marry a wife to get a gift of money, and the same was true in the Central Plains. After the man spends a fortune to marry his wife, they will think that his wife has spent money. Therefore, it should be regarded as part of the husband's property, and she cannot leave her husband's house again, otherwise the woman will have to return the gift in the end. To protect this property. Once the husband died, the wife was not allowed to marry anyone outside the clan, so that a sum of money could be saved for other men in the family to marry, and secondly, the property would not be outflowed. This is the basic reason for the formation of step-marriage, and finally the custom formed until now is the succession system of father death and son succession, brother death and brother succession.

Plainly. Among the tribes outside the Saiwai, the status of women is actually not high, and the status of concubines is actually slaves. And the status of the wife is only slightly higher, and they are still the private property of the husband. Not to mention ordinary women, even the women of the tribal chiefs, even the Great Turkic Khan's Khatun had to follow this custom. A daughter princess who married from the Central Plains to the Turks. As a princess of a country, she married to the Turks and became the Great Khan, but she went through several husbands, and each time her husband died, she had to marry her husband's younger brother, and later even her husband's son.

Xiao Shi was dumbfounded when she heard it, completely unable to accept such a barbaric system.

Chen Wan smiled and said, "Actually, there are many races outside the Cypriots. There are also many customs, and most of the Hu tribes are in this kind of step-marriage system. But there are also some exceptions, there are some barbarian tribes in the deepest part of Mobei, and they also have a walking marriage system, a pair marriage system, and a group marriage system. And I heard that in Silla on the Samhan Peninsula, their royal family even adopted the blood marriage system! ”

"What is a blood marriage system?" Xiao Shi asked completely confused.

"It is said that it is intermarriage within the clan and blood relatives. The Silla blood marriage system, also known as the endogamy system, was a marriage between brothers, aunts, and nephews of the royal family, excluding intermarriage between parents and children, and dividing the scope according to generations, so as to ensure that the power of the royal family did not fall into the hands of outsiders. ”

"It's barbaric!" In the end, Xiaoshi had to use these three words to express his amazement.

In fact, when Chen Wan first came into contact with these Hu people's strange marriage system, she was in the same mood as Xiao Shi, and it was difficult to agree. But after all, I have lived outside the Cypriot for many years, and I have long been surprised by these.

"In this way, since that vixen already has a fiancé, even if he is dead, she is also the property of her fiancé's family, and she should marry his younger brother." Xiao Shi understood why Manyue's fiancé had just died, and she dared to shamelessly hook up with her uncle. It turns out that Hu women do not have the same concept of honesty and chastity as Han women, they are just the same property of their husbands, the same as cattle and horses. Thinking about it this way, the little hostility towards Manyue turned into pity.

"In general, this is the case. But Manyue's father is the patriarch of the Ahui tribe, and Su Zhi is very happy for his daughter to marry Brother Hao. As for the family of her fiancé before Manyue, Su Zhi only needs to come up with enough money, and it will naturally be settled, after all, since it is property, it is valuable and can be traded and transferred. Su spent enough money, and her fiancé's family was naturally happy to accept it. ”

As for saying that Manyue is ruthless, as soon as her fiancé died, she began to pester Yi Feng, but Manyue did not despise it. Although she hates Manyue's involvement, she doesn't feel that Manyue's behavior is lewd and shameless. In the tribes outside the Saiwai, the concept is completely different from that of the Central Plains. They don't have so many rules of etiquette and live more practically. Women are an important labor force and an important asset, and they are not qualified to observe festivals or anything. When her husband dies, she has to remarry. Remarriage is a very common thing, not to mention, Yi Feng is still such a heroic figure, the women of the tribe love heroes, because heroes and warriors are powerful and can give women more security. It's just like that, but it's hard for Chen Wan not to let herself hate that woman. If you want to find a man again, you can find someone else, there are so many men, why do you have to find your own Brother Hao.

"I hope I'm pregnant with a boy this time!" Chen Wan secretly prayed, she knew very well that the Central Plains customs and concubines' status was very low, but the mother was expensive by her son, if she could give birth to a son for Yi Feng, she would be able to change her status immediately. She was very disdainful of Manyue's stalking and even drugging methods, and it was tempting to use sex, but it was a means after all. Did she really think that she had finally entered the door of the Yi family and succeeded? She is just a concubine, whether it is in the Central Plains or outside the Saiwai, a concubine is actually equivalent to a slave. What if she has exhausted her barbarian moon organs, she is just a concubine, not a concubine, at most a concubine, a cheap concubine! She was too proud, so let's wait until she gets the concubine's foreign wife seal. And on the day she entered, Yi Feng had already written a seal and sent it to Chang'an, asking for a foreign wife to be sealed for her. Even if they are both concubines, they are also divided between noble concubines and cheap concubines!

Thinking of this, the jealousy in Chen Wan's heart was slightly suppressed. In her heart, she didn't really regard Manyue as an opponent, but what she was thinking about at this time was the three ladies in Yifu, who were thousands of miles away, especially Gao Qianxue, who was in the main room. It was also a princess, what was her personality? I heard that the eldest lady and the second lady are about to give birth, will their first child give birth to Yi Feng's eldest son?
