Chapter 547: Marriage System
"Thank you very much for what you have done to me Baiyue people, although I don't know how you drove the Dikui away, but I know that if it weren't for you, our Baiyue clan would no longer exist."
These were the first words that Mill said when he came over. She said it very sincerely, Liu Yue couldn't see that she was lying, and Liu Yu was even thinking that she was also the one who was deceived by He Luyu.
Later, she added: "We hope that you can go with us Baiyue and help us along the way." ”
Liu Yu and Lian Yusheng glanced at each other, both of them had thought that He Lu was looking for an excuse to refuse Huang Yue's remnants to join them Bai Yue. But since Mi'er, who is Daqiu's daughter, wants to come over and say it specially, it means that what He Lu said should be the truth, that is, the Baiyue people are ready to give up their homeland for generations and go to a new place to start from scratch.
"Little girl, you're too polite." Liu Yu smiled, "There aren't many places we can help, and we have to go south to do business, I'm afraid ...... Can't walk with the Baiyue people......"
When Mier heard Liu Yu's words, he was obviously a little disappointed. Her eyes turned to Duo Lin, who had just come over after hearing the news, as if she wanted to ask Duo Lin what she meant, and felt that Duo Lin was attached to Liu Yu and couldn't make up her mind.
"Mier, do you Baiyue people really want to move away? Then we ......" Duo Lin didn't know what He Lu came to say before, she originally thought that her sister would live and work in Baiyue's village with her people, "What should I do?" ”
In the previous question, Duo Lin was asking Mier, and the latter question was completely asking Liu Yu. Now that she has completely handed over the responsibility of Huang Yue's request to Liu Yu, she will obey whatever Liu Yue says. It's just that in her heart, she doesn't want to be separated from her sister and clansmen. But she knew that Liu Yu would not stay as Huang Yueren's son-in-law. She had to learn to adjust to her new life. She had already made up her mind to follow Liu Yu. No matter how many dangers and hardships she has to endure in the future, she is not afraid of these, but she still wants to take care of everything for her people before leaving.
"So, Doreen, what do you mean?" Liu Yu suddenly looked at Duo Lin and asked with a smile.
Duo Lin didn't expect Liu Yu to ask for her meaning at this time, and Duo Lin was suddenly at a loss. Doreen lowered her head. was watched by Liu Yu and Mi Er at the same time, she was like a helpless girl, only knowing that Lu Dao was fiddling with the corners of her clothes, and her heart was also uneasy.
Seeing that Duo Lin was silent, Mi Er asked, "Duo Lin, are you willing to go with us Bai Yue people?" Take your people and go with us to a new place to live, and when the time comes, you can follow your brother Tiannan Haibei and come back to see your people at any time. Our Bai Yue's home is also your home. ”
That's what Mill said. It was extremely tempting for a homeless Doreen, and Doreen did not rush to speak, but looked up at Liu Yu. Liu Yu touched Duo Lin's head, and Duo Lin's face turned red, it was the first time she was treated so close to Liu Yu in front of people, and it was in front of her good sister.
"Doreen, make up your own mind." Liu Yudao.
"Well, brother, Doreen thought...... Let the clansmen go with Bai Yue's people, Duo Lin doesn't want to be Huang Yue's sinner. Brother......"
Duo Lin said this, just like a little girl who made a mistake, she knew that this might disobey Liu Yu's intentions, and might attract Liu Yu's disgust. But her worries are unnecessary, since Liu Yue let her choose, he fully respects her intentions, and Dorene's hope, Liu Yu will also try his best to help her complete.
Liu Yu said to Mier: "Little girl, go back and tell your father, that is, Heluda, if you Baiyue want to migrate, you should go in the direction of Huilan and Yizhou, we don't mind going together, and please don't delay too much time on the road, we have to hurry up." ”
Mier didn't expect Liu Yu to change his mind for Duo Lin, in her opinion, Liu Yue, who has the ability, should be the kind of man who can't be beaten, and Liu Yu seems to have his big things to do, and he doesn't care about the personal feelings of his children at all, who knows that Lu Dao will help them do a lot of things for a new Duo Lin. Miel looked at Doreen, and even felt a little jealous of her.
"Then I'll go back and tell Abba."
Miel saluted and said goodbye, and disappeared into the night alone. Lian Husheng sent Mi Er away and came back to ask Liu Yu's meaning, Liu Yu actually felt a little troublesome, it was originally a not too complicated thing to go south to Yizhou, but along the way, it involved Huang Yue and Bai Yue, and even the itinerary changed.
It was already late, but Liu Yu was not in a hurry to sleep, in fact, at this time, in Bai Yue's village, Bai Yue's people did not sleep, and they were also packing up and preparing to leave, because they were afraid that Xu Yuanfang or other landlords would attack them at any time. It was not easy for them to hold the stockade under Xu Yuanfang's onslaught, the battle had already lost more than half of their people, and they had to migrate to survive.
Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng to bring people over to ask He Lu what he meant, and after negotiations, He Lu also agreed to some of Liu Yu's conditions, such as Huang Yue's remnants can be added to Bai Yue, and Bai Yue can't treat these people badly. He Lu has no objection to Liu Yu's request, but He Lu also has conditions, because according to the rules of the Yue people, although the three wives and four concubines are not prevented for the development of the Yue people, the women who have lost their men can only be concubines for their Huang Yue's men, and follow the marriage of women at a level.
Speaking of the concubine system of the Yue people, it is a very special marriage system, and Liu Yu has never heard of it before. Mainly, in the Yue people, all marriageable women must get married when they reach a certain age, and if their husbands die after marriage, they cannot observe the festival and must remarry immediately, but even if they are originally wives, they can only be concubines in the man's family after remarrying. It is equivalent to taking care of your food, you have to be a cow and a horse for others, and when you see your wife and other concubines, you must bow and bow, and in return, they can let their children with foreign surnames get the right to survive and distribute property.
Even concubines and concubines Teng also had the right to distribute property, which was not available in the Central Plains Dynasty. Originally, the status of concubines and concubines who had the right to distribute property should be very high, but their status in the family was not high, and they could even be said to be low, this contrast was incomprehensible to Liu Yue.
Among the Yue people, it is also rare for a woman to marry a man three or four times.
Liu Yue thought about it, probably this should be a system that the Yue people had to implement for the development of their own race. And Liu Yu knew that there were similar systems among some ethnic groups in the north before, such as the father's woman's son's inheritance, which was all a last resort for survival.
Liu Yu does not want to use his personal will to change the marriage system that has been inherited for hundreds of years. Even if it is to change, it will take time, and of course it must be built on the basis of the development of the productive forces of ethnic minorities in Lingnan. (To be continued......)
