It is said that ancient China was polygamous, but in fact this is a misunderstanding, except for a few exceptions, the general rule is monogamy and polygamy. Especially before the Song Dynasty, the status of the wife, that is, the main room, was very high, second only to the husband in the family, and above the sons - "the husband died from the son" Yunyun was a saying that only arose later. As for the concubine, in fact, she is not a serious spouse protected by the law, but just an upright lover, and the status of the children born to the concubine is also far worse than that born in the main room.

Therefore, at that time, people, especially scholars, marrying a wife was a major event in life, and there was a set of standardized etiquette to follow, and a marriage certificate must be signed and filed in the government - just like two thousand years later, this marriage certificate is an important proof of whether your son (son-in-law) can report the household registration and whether he can inherit the title and inheritance. But concubines are not so particular, Wu Zhen told Shixun that if you want to take a concubine, you can sign a contract, and you don't need to report it to the government.

Hey, I didn't expect that taking a concubine is simpler than having a stepson or borrowing a seed to have a child, and there is no need to report or officially archive. But after thinking about it, the inheritance of the son's title and property, the concubine has nothing to do with it, and the government doesn't care who you want to accept. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a faint sadness that came to Shixun's heart - I'm really sorry for you if I can't let you enter the door in a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers......

Wonderful!

Not to mention taking concubines, formal marriage should be so simple. I think that in Tancheng, Xuzhou, I haven't taken the last step yet, just what is in front of me, asking for names or something, even if many links do not need to participate in person, just listening to those elders will feel dizzy. This time I went to Xuzhou, the wedding level looks like I can't escape, if I come to Yanzhou a month or two in advance, I must be crazy! After all, feelings and etiquette are two different things, Si, ah, I really like you, so let's not pay attention to vulgar etiquette.

It was Xun who asked Wu Zhen to help write a document for taking a concubine, and asked Tai Shici to come over and be a Chinese person, and each signed - the woman's parent, Guan Hai, couldn't write, so he just pressed his handprint. After signing the contract, Shi Xun got up and looked left and right, up and down, why did he think that this was no different from selling his daughter......

He lit up the contract with Guan Si, and said that if you see it, there is an agreement, and from now on you and I will be a member of the family. Guan Si pouted: "It's originally your person, I've seen you...... But you're going to have to let me take care of my father. Shi Xun was moved in his heart and took her ...... grabbed her shoulders, and had to bend down first, it was too hard - "Don't worry, uncle (father-in-law) is uncle, and concubine is also uncle." From now on, your father will be my father, and I will take good care of our father. However, I was ordered by Cao Gong to leave for a while......"

Guan Si was obviously not in a high mood: "Zhilu Dao, you still have to go to Xuzhou to marry a wife." Shi Xun hurriedly comforted her: "I've only met that Cao girl once, I don't know what kind of character she has, what hobbies she has." How can it be like you and me, the real feelings of tribulation......" Guan Si glanced up at him: "You said that you will only be good to me alone, and you have to be the one who speaks." Shixun was about to raise his hand and swear, but Guan Si put his arms around his neck and whispered, "If you have a seal, I will believe you." ”

The next two carried people on their backs for a long time to stamp the seal, until Shixun felt that if he continued to cover it, he would not be able to resist the beast - and after all, in broad daylight, maybe there would be a servant passing by, and it would be worse if people really bumped into it and become a beast - then he reluctantly got rid of the flaming red lips.

After a few days, they packed their luggage and went on the road, under the protection of Li Dian and five hundred soldiers, with a large group of servants and a large number of vehicles, the group left Juancheng and went south, passing through Chengshi, Chengwu, Shan Father and other places, and then turned to the east, passed through Feng County and Pei County, and entered the territory of Pengcheng State in Xuzhou. Another day into Donghai County, after Yinping, the front refers to Xiangben.

Before entering the territory of Xiangben, a group of sentry horses rushed in the distance, and saw that their large group of people were like a great enemy, and the bows and swords were unsheathed and lined up to meet each other. It was Xun Cema who came over to greet him: "A certain is a messenger from Yanzhou, who was ordered to give this property to Tao Envoy." The junior officer in front raised his hand: "In this case, your envoy will stop for the time being, and will issue a document, and let me go to the county to report." ”

Shi Xun handed the document proving his identity to the petty officer, who passed it to a rider behind him, and the cavalryman whipped away. It's Xun look, this team of soldiers is very good, all of them are energetic, high-spirited, and although the equipment is not very sophisticated, it can be seen that they are all veterans of a hundred battles. As far as he knows, in Xuzhou, only the thousands of Danyang soldiers brought out by Tao Qian from his hometown have similar qualities, but Danyang soldiers are Tao Qian's lifeblood, and the equipment cannot be so bad, and there is no need to send them to Xiangben County to station.

So he asked casually: "Who are you and other officials?" The little officer clenched his fists and replied: "My lord is the former plain minister Liu Gong. "Before, before the plains! When Shi Xun heard this, Hao Xuan didn't slip off the horse's back - his meow Liu Bei really voted for Tao Qian, and Tao Qian also arranged him in Xiangben, which was so close to Tan County!

I really want to cry without tears by relying on the communication of these years...... I thought that Liu Bei had just entered Langxie, and he was still wandering on the border line waiting for Tao Qian to recruit him. If there had been a telegram and a telephone call in those years, as soon as he heard the news of Liu Bei's southward departure, Cao Jun immediately set off from Taishan County and wrapped him in dumplings, and he would not have been allowed to contact Tao Qian at all!

But think about it, how did the second child of the Yuan family do it? Where did he get his pigeon? When the Chinese began to use pigeons to transmit messages, Xun is not clear, but he remembers that after BC, the ancient Egyptians and ancient Romans would play like this, and not to mention that Yuan Laoer would play tricks, and even Cao De did not feel confused or surprised when he heard the matter of transmitting messages with carrier pigeons, and he knew that the technique of Lu Dao had now been introduced to China - or invented independently.

But when he came to Juancheng later, he also asked Cao Cao about this - wouldn't it be more convenient for us to communicate if we also used carrier pigeons? But Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It is very human who can tame it." Training pigeons requires specialized personnel, and this talent is estimated to be rarer than those who can make paper, and I really don't have one under my hands. When Xun heard this, he just asked for it - it seems that although this technique has been produced, it is not yet popular, so let's ask Cao Hong when I have time.

But now it's pointless to think about this, so I'd better quickly think about how to remedy it. It is best to use Cao Hong and Chen Deng to speak ill of Liu Bei in front of Tao Qian, and Tao Qian must not be made to like Liu Bei, nor can the scholars in Xuzhou have any special hookup with Liu Bei. He was spinning in place, thinking about how to deal with this problem, when he saw three horsemen coming from the east not far away—the first person was Liu Bei!

Liu Bei saw Shi Xun from a distance, and shouted: "It turned out to be Mr. Hongfu, it's been a long time!" Shi Xun felt strange and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Liu Fu Junshang remembers that it is so-and-so?" "He said in his heart that he went back to the plains to move the rescuers, Tai Shici is the protagonist, I am a follower, not necessarily more conspicuous than Zhai Yu, you really have a good memory. Liu Bei approached the horse, although there was no smile on his face, but it naturally made people feel cordial, and he said loudly: "For Cao Mengde, it is Hongfu who said that the yellow scarf of Qingzhou is Hongfu, and he is fortunate to know it, how dare he forget it?" ”

It was Xun Chao Liu Bei who looked behind him, and one of them knew Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, and the other one - a round face, a garlic nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big mouth that was always grinning, looking like a big boy who didn't grow up - even the beard was sparse, as if it had just developed. "Who is this?" greeted Guan Yu first, and then Xun asked who the big boy was. The big boy hugged his fists: "Yanren Zhang Fei, the word Yide." ”

Shi Xun suspected that this was Zhang Feilai just now, although it is very different from the description in the legend and romance, he is not a bearded rough man, but a baby face, but his eyes are big enough, if this is a small slitted eye like Cao Cao, no matter how much you "look away" on the Nagasaka Bridge, no one will be afraid, right? Now that I listen to Zhang Fei's mouth, I am even more convinced that I rely on others to be as sound as a bell, this is like thunder, an ordinary sentence, and I almost didn't deaf my ears. If this refuses to shout violently, it can really scare everyone's liver, and no one dares to come closer!

I met Zhang Fei at the moment. Guan Yu asked: "I heard that Taishi Ziyi defeated Lu Bu in front of the two armies, is there any of you?" Shihoon nodded and said yes. Guan Yu regretted it: "It's a pity that I couldn't compete with Ziyi that day, and I was a good point." Shi Xun said to him with a smile: "I will be planning but not brave, not stopping the battle against the soldiers, but also comparing the bow and horse." Ziyi's defeat of a reckless man has nothing to boast of. Liu Bei stroked his palm and said: "What Mr. Hongfu said is true, and Mr. Cao Mengde will be able to drive Lu Bu and settle Yanzhou." ”

He said it very politely, but then on the grounds that he was responsible for defending the land and did not receive Tao Qian's order, he asked Li Dian to take the soldiers and horses, servants, and materials to be temporarily resettled under Xiangben City, and wait for Shixun to meet Tao Qian before making a decision. It was Xun Xin who said that I didn't just step into the territory of Xuzhou, and the previous towns didn't have so much to do with you, you held on to the soldiers and horses, don't you have any other thoughts in your heart, right?

But he didn't dare to break through, after all, Liu Beitun had a lot of troops stationed in Xiangben, and if he really wanted to fight, not only would he destroy the relationship between Xu and Yan, but he would have no chance of winning at all.

So I had to follow Liu Bei into Xiangben City. Immediately, Liu Bei set up a banquet, entertained Shixun, kept him for a night's rest, and set off for Tancheng tomorrow. Shi Xun is not in a hurry, and he is trying to take this opportunity to have a good contact with Liu Bei - one is out of curiosity about historical celebrities, and the other is that he thinks that maybe Liu Bei must be regarded as a great enemy from now on, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, right?

Liu Bei is a guest general in Xiangben, so he doesn't live in the county government - otherwise where will he drive the county magistrate? ——He lives in a luxurious mansion in the north of the county. In the hall that day, Liu Bei went west to the main seat, let Shixun sit in the south direction, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat in the north direction, vacating an east-facing intermediary (deputy guest) seat, and I don't know who Lu Dao was reserved for.

Yes Xun was wondering, so he heard a phlegm cough outside the door, swaggered in, a person was not tall, he was in his early sixties, wearing a leather robe and a scarf, first bowed to Liu Bei, and then bowed to Shi Xun, and then took off his shoes and went crookedly with the intermediary.

Who is this? What a raw rudeness!

——————————I'm the dividing line of apprehension————————

This week, I was on the homepage to push, and I was both happy and scared to see the clicks and collections going up, and I was both happy and scared - the so-called "from luxury to frugality", and so the recommendation period has passed, how can it be good to all dive? Can my fragile little liver handle it? Therefore, I sincerely hope that all the friends who have been here will be willing to stay, and I will do my best to continue creating. I can't say how well the writing is, let alone how good it is to your taste, but trust me to try.
